A parcel!“ sh‘yfstflbpoliticihnsscem deter-
mined to nominatefBristovi‘, Whether or no.
The Union;~Iaeagueg‘Club-.is_j‘ an: aristocratic
affair, made up entirely cf republicans, and
is supposed to represent republican sentiment
in the city. A number of .admirers' of the
Secretary put up his name for membership,
expecting, as a matter of course, that a gen-
tleman so well known and so high, socially,
politically, and in every other: way, would
be accepted without a question. In short,
Iristow’s becoming a member would honor
the club a thousand times more than the club
would honor him. Now by the laws of the
club, one vote in ten adverse to a candidate,
kills, and when the ballot was taken it was
found that there were twelve black-balls—
two more than enoug’hto defeat him. There
was the wildest- excitement when the result
was made known. The black-balling of the
Secretary was denounced by the oldest and
best members as an outrage..and anxious in-
quiries were made for the men who did it,
but of course they could not be found. The
matter would possess no significance, were it
not for the manner in which it was done. It
was cvidenttllat the party doing it could
have commanded fifty votes if it had been
necessary, and it is also evident that it was
intended as a stab at his presidential pros-
peels. The next morning in Albany, as soon
as it. became known, certain politicians were
talking that it would be of no use to nomin-
ate a man who could not be elected to. the
Union League Club, showing that the pro-
gramme had been arranged beforehand, and
that the black-balling was the beginning of a
very dirty raid upon Bristow. The effect has
not been, however, what the conspirators in—
tended. The Republicans of New York,
the best members of the club included, are
indignant at the outrage, and there are thous-
ands of Bristow men to-day where there
were hundreds yesterday. Itis Only justice
to Senator Conklin to say that neither he nor
any of his trusted friends had anything to do
with the matter. .
rm: nnuoanc-v
are in a dilemma. They want Tilden, but
they see if they nominate him they losethe
West—that is, the soft-money parts of the
West. On the other hand, if they nominate‘
a soft-money candidate, they-are certain to
lose New York, and they can‘t dodge so as
to satisfy both. The business world, Repub-
lican aswell as Democratic, want a square
expression this year, and glittering generali-
tics will not satisfy them. Tilden will un-
dertake to carry the convention by the use
of money, and trust to the same agency to
secure his election, but he is .not in a very
_cheerful frame of mind. His prospects are
by no means rose-colored, either for the
nomination or e1ection,‘and the old bachelor
looks care-worn and troubled.
BKECIIER AND BOWEN.
The Beecher trouble has broken out afresh,
and this time more virulent than ever. Bowen
has knowledge, so he claims, which will set-
tle the whole matter. But he will not di-
vulge, unless he is permitted to do it in the
way he wants to. He says that the knowl-
edge he lIss involves a great many other peo—
ple, and that he will gobefore a committee of
disinterested men and tell it all, they pledg-
ing themselves to secresy, simply making
public their verdict as to the guilt of Beech-
er. This Mr. Beecher declines. ' At the last
meeting of Plymouth Church there was a
spicy time. Bowen and Beecher go by the
ears, the lie was passed as sweetly as at a town-
meeting, members were ordered to “get out" ’
and the proceedings would have done no dis-
credit to a nominating convention in a Dem-
ocratic wardin New York. In the meantime
Moulton is pressing his suit. Bowen is getting
ready to find some way to get at‘ Beecher
without involving others, and there is a pros-
pect for a Kilkenny fight of the hugest di-
mensions. How it will- all result, no one
knows. .: But the whole world wishes that it
was over in one way or another. Tilton is
lecturing in the West, and his wife and her
mother are keeping boarders.
run BERGEN EXPLOSION.
Last Saturday night, just as the honest
burghers of New York were putting on their
night-caps, after an unusually 'not evening,
they were startled by a very loud and sharp
explosion, apparently in the next block to
everybody. It waslouder than any fourth
of July cannon, and rang like the crack of a
rifle. People poked their heads out of . win-
dow, concluding .that their, next néigthr
had committed suicide, or killed a rat with a
large charge of powder, or there. was
a soda fountain explosion, or something. The
latter guess, as usual, was right. The next
morning all the..city was aquiv'er 'over the
explosion of the powder magazine on the
crest of Bergen hill, three-quarters of a mile
from the Hoboken ferry, in which the con-
tractor for the new Delaware, Lackawanna
and \‘Vestern Railroad , tunnel had stored
about 30,000 nitro-glycerinc cartridges used
for blasting the tunnel, and about 300 pounds
of giant powder. This was a heavy charge
and the effect was awful. ' A shock as of an
earth quake followed by the. falling of
houses, roofs, and the crashing of walls and
windows all over Jersey City and Hoboken,
reaching across the river, and felt in New
York. On the west side, shop windows
were shattered, and the gas put out fully two
miles from the explosion. The shock was
felt at Yonkers, and ten miles away, on Staten
Island, its force shook the ground, and rolled
the ships in the bay, which before was per-
fectly still. It is pretty certain that the ex-
plosion was the work of strikers, who re-
fused to work at the tunnel for $1.25 a day.
There had been much trouble with the men
previously,andwhen strikes occurred,the giant
powder was always carefully removed, which
this time, had not yet been done. ” _"Wond,er- ,

It is really thought by the sagacious, that
the reign .of‘ fashionable. charities is over for
the season,‘and' that no further appeals will

men's Centennial Union has had its fill, and
picked the pockets of everybody, under the
promise of preserving every donbr's name to
be read at the next Centenhial.‘ With true
feminine presistsnce, and indiscretion, it has
nagged everybody impartially, the rich for
their checks, and the poor working women
for their five and ten cent pieces. 'The re-

the poorout of Work in the city» had food or
not. The Young Women’s Christian Asso-

not less brilliant than any that .went before.
It was held‘in the "Academy of Music, and
did alargetrade in dry goods and, ready...

was given 'to the concern, was clear profit.

is already beginning to be felt in New York. ,
’l'he great mass of people "on their way to
Philadelphia come by way of New York, and
the hotels and boarding houses are beginning
to look up. The opening day in Philadelphia
was an immense success, to which New York
contributed quite as much as the Quaker
City. The city was literally emptied. The
trains to Philadelphia were loaded for three
days in advance, and New YOrk was well-
nigh deserted. The next day the majority
came back, all, indeed, except those who had
goods to exhibit, and who propose to stay du-
ring the exposition. The Centennial is a
great success, and I advise every one of your
readers to come and see it. Come to Phil's-
_dclphia and see the great show, come to New
York and see the great. metropolis, and go
home wiser and better men and women. It
won’t happen again for a hundred years, and
we shall none of us have another chande.
Make the trip a cheap one. Don’t attempt
any style whatever, and above all don't be
ashamed to ask questions, and look about
younll you can. See all that is to be seen,
at the lowest possible price, and my word for
it; you will never regret the expenditure.

the Israelite, convicted of the murder of'
Sarah Alexander, committed suicide- in his
cell by starving himself to death. It is the
most curious case on record. The food given
him he deliberately and resolutely threw
down the sewer-pipe, as soon as it was
brought to him, and he kept his resolution
till he was so weakjthat: death was inevita—
ble. His father took charge of his dead
body, and had it buried according to the
rites of the rigid Jewish church. His curs-
ing the detective who was instrumental in
convicting Rubenstein, was as dramatic a
performance as was ever seen. “The curse
of the God of my fathers be on you,” was
his exclamation as he stood between the
corpse and the detective, so that his dead
son‘s face should not be profaned by the
gaze of the man who had hunted him to
death. The opinion of everybody is that the
man was guilty of'the crime, but that he was
insane when he did it. '
‘ THE WEATHER
is delightfully cool and pleasant, and the
Park is crowded every afternoon with mag.
nificent equipages, and gaily dreSsed horse-
menand horsewomen. It is well worth an
hour everyday to see the fashion of New
York on dress parade. Sundays the poor
people get there, and they make a sight of
almost equal interest. Plsrao.

LORD WHAT ADI I ?
Lord, what aln I, that, with unceasing care.
'l‘llou didst scek after me? that thou didst
wait,
Wet with unhealthy dews, before my gate,
And pass the gloomy nights of winter
there ?
Oh, strange delusion, that I did not greet
Thy blessed approach I and oh to heaven how
lost,
If/ny ingratitude’s untimely frost
Has chilled the bleeding wound upon thy
feet .'
How off my guardian-angel gently cried,
“Soul, from thy casement look, and thou
shalt sec ' ‘
How he persists to knock and wait for thee I"
And oh, how often to that voice of sorrow,

“ The best practical statement I have met
about ventilation," says Colonel Waring in
the last Alkmtz’e, “was contained in the re-
mark of a mining engineer in Pennsylvania:
‘Air is like a rope; you can pull it better
than you can push it.” All mechanical ap-
pliances for pushing air into a room or a
huose are disappointing. \Vhat we need to
do is to pull out the vitiated air already in
the room ; the fresh supply will take care
of itself if means for its admission are provi-
dcd. It has been usual to withdraw the air
through openings near the ceiling, that is, to
carry off the warmer and therefore lighter
portions, leaving the colder strata at the bot-
tom of the room, with their gradual accumu-
lation of cooled carbonic acid undisturbed.
Much the better plan would be to drawn this
lower air out from a point near the floor, al-
lowing the upper and warmer portions to de-
scend and take its place. An open fire, with
a large chimney throat, is the best ventilator
for any room ; the one-half or two-thirds of
the heat carried up the chimney is the price
paid for immunity from disease ; and large
though :this seems, from its daily draft on
the wood pile or coal bin, it is trifling when
compared with doctors’ bills and the loss of
strength and cfiicieney that invariably result
from living in nnventilated apartments.
Donmxcn ATWATEm—This young Con.
necticut gentleman is well known through
the state on account of his experience and
services in Andersonville prison. After the
war he received an appointment as United
States counsel for the Society Islands, and in
a South Sea letter to The San Francisco
Chronicle of the 13th inst. appears the fol-
lowing : -
“A marriage in the highest tier of social
life has been one of the quiet sensations lately
transpiring in Tahiti. On the 27th of Octo-
ber Dorra'nce Atwater, United States coun-
holy bonds of wedlock to the Princess Moe-
tia, daughter of a chieftess of royal blood.
The marriage was conducted by the civil au-
thorities, Dr. Bonnet, mayor of Papeete,
officiating. No cards and no cake. The
Princess Moetia is a very accomplished young
lady, speaking English and French as fluent-
ly as she does her native language. She is
besides wealthy in her own right,being owner
of the historical palm groves of Fans and
other lands. She is also the‘lessec of Scilly
Island, valuable for its pearl fisheries. Her
paradise of Eimed, as old navigators call it)
and extensive possessions on the, island of
Tahiti. Moetia has three brothers, splendid
specimens of South Sea chiefs. The young-
est, Narii, is about nineteen years old, six
feet two inches in hight, and weighs 200
pounds, and is as straight as an arrow. They
were educated in Europe, but like all South
Sea chiefs, they believe in native customs
and habits. Their mother has equal claims
to rule with Queen Pomare, but has never
asserted her rights. The father of the fami-
ly was an English Jew named Salmon, a
lawyer by profession, and a very able man.
Soon after he arrived in Tahiti he married
the.\wealthy chieftess mentioned. As to Mrs.
Atwater, her many friends will, wish her
much joy. She has been fortunate in secur-
ing a yotmg, gallant and intelligent husband,
and he has been equally fortunate in cap-
turing the handsomest and wealthiest girl in
the South Sea Islan ."
In the same letter it is also stated that At.
water recently purchased the British ship
Eddystone, 1,805 tons, which was lying at
the island in a damaged condition. He fitted
her up, changed her name to the Point Venis
(referring to his union with the princess, per-
haps), and subsequently sold half the vessel
to Turner, Chapman & C0,, an American
firm in Tahiti who will use her in the lam-
ber trade. Two pretty good speculations for

Tun VALUE or Txcr.——Frederick Doug-
lass was traveling with a friend of another
color in a part of the country where public
sentiment was bitterly hostile to the associa-
tion of colors. They stopped at a tavern
and dined together, at which spectacle the
village, growling and grumbling about the
stove in the bar room, was immediately dis-
posed to mischief. The bar room philoso-
phcrs were sadly troubled for the honor of
their color. “erat business has a white
man to be traveling and eating with a
nigger, anyhow ? If he doesn’t know what’s
decent, we’ll teach him.” Tire crowd was,
indeed very anxious to give the offender a
few' summary lessons in decency. They
conceit that they know what honor is. Doug-
lass slipped out quietly, and, returning after
a little while, he remarked to his companion,
in a good lmmored way, that he had just
seen a very singular sight in the stable ; and
the crowd turned to hear what it was.
“You’ll hardly believe it," said Douglass,
addressing his companion as if there was no
one else in the room, “but I gave my white
mare and your bay horse four quarts of cats
each, and there they are eating side by side
as quietly and contentedly as if they were of
the same color! ’Tis most extraordinary !"
He did not laugh nor wink, but made his
remark with a simple sincerity that was ir-
resistable. There was a moment of silence.
Then came the echo. Human wit had spok-
en, and a human heart answered; “What
cussed fools we are I” said one of the crowd,
sententiouslv ; and a laugh followed, which
scattered like a burst of sunlight the gather-

The original document of the declaration
of independence was brought to Philadelphia
from Washington, on Saturday, by Alonzo
Bell, chief clerk of the interior department,
and depoaited in the safe in the National Mu-
seum. Together With this sacred parchment
Mr. Bell brought the original paper of the
commission to “’ashington of commander in-
chicf of the array. It was dated June 19, 1775,
and signed by John Hancock, president of
congress. It was also placed in the safe.
The declaration is much faded, the signs-
tures being hardly discarnable.
A bright and priceless gem has been added
to the collection of revolutionary relics—the
actual miniature portrait of Washington
worn by his lady up to the time of her death.
The medallion is an oval, about eight inches
in circumference, faithfully painted, and
plainly mounted in heavy gold. The face
bears a stricking resemblance to Stuart's
portraits of Washington. The reverse of the
miniature contains a liberal lock of halr,
light brown, freely sprinkled with gray,
taken from the head of the “Father of Hrs
Country." The portrait was evidently taken
while Washington occupied the presidential
chair. On the death of Lady Washington,
this medallion, by request, went to Mrs. To-
bias Lear, her niece, whose husband was
Washington's favorite private secretary. It
is now owned by Mrs. Wilson Eyre, of New-
port, Rhode Island, formerly of Philadel but,
who is a grand-daughter of Mrs. ear.
Colonel Frank M. EttIng has also secured
the companion piece to this relic, the minia-
ture of Martha Washington, .worn by her
husbandu to his death. It rs 1n the pos-
session 01 Its. Bayard Smith, of Baltimore.
