Pall RmtR, Mass., Feb. 4.—All the cottoB operatives in flfty-one mills here quit work at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the regular stopping hour, taking their working clothes and tools, preparatory to entering on a strike. The hostilities manifested on similar occasions In former years were entirely absent, and the beat of order prevailed throughout. The meeting of the operatives waa crowded to overflowing, and long before the appointed hoar the streets in the vicinity were densely crowded with people anxious to ascertain the meeting's verdict The meeting lasted about two hours. Several vigorous speeches were made denouncing the manufacturers' action. The advisability of striking at all the mills waa considered and finally it was decided t»Dat such a step at present would pi _»j disastrous. The following ten mills were then selected at which the first blow should be struck: Unions Nos. 1, 2, 8, Border City No. 3, Sagamore No. 1. Tecumseh, Chace, Wampanoag and Slade. The majority of these mills are controlled by the Brayton family, who nre credited with forcing the cut down. The Richard Borden and linen mills will be obliged to close, owing to the dissatisfaction of the liolp, who have decided not to work in these mills at the reduced rates. It was shown that the spinners of these mills were unable to make over $7 weekly, a smaller amount than id paid elsewhere. It is probable that the manufacturers will close all the mills if only a partial strike is instituted. As it is, however, 8,000 persons will be thrown out of employment, and the indicate ns are that if this course does not force the manufacturers to compromise the operatives in other mills will be forced to join the strikers. It was decided to pay single men $4 per week, married men $4.50, anp 25 cents for each child while the strike continues. An appeal to the cotton operatives of New England for assistance in the preseut struggle was adopted, as It was considered that the success of the strike was of equal interest to them. Resolutions were uuauimously adopted stating that, in ths face of the improving condition of the print cloth market, large dividends and an increase in the plant of the ootton manufacturing corporations, we show our displeasure at the reduction by instituting a strike; that if the manufacturers are earnest in their statement that they were obliged to reduce the expenses of running the factories, •liey should reduce the salaries of their treasurers, agents and overjseera. The result of the meeting waa received satisfactorily in all circles, and the help in other nills will return to work as usual. Wendell Phillips Succumbs to Indianapolis, Ind., Fob. 4.—Whatevei may be the reason, it is quite certain that the most potential element in Indiana politic* at present, or at least in republican politic*, is what may be called the soldier element. Whether it be the recall of the old war days by the unveiling of the statue to Senator Morton, or by the inspiriting little speech of Senator Harrison, renewing the project for the erec lion of a memorial to the Union soldiers of Indiana, or whether it i« because of the very large increase of Grand Army poets thr oughout the state, the average being now more than three to each ounty—whether it be due to any or all of these causes combined, the fact still remains that the vast majority of those who usually are near the public pulse report it beating strongly and warmly for a soldiers' candidate both for president and for governor. It i* almost a universal remark coming from everybody that we must have soldiers for candidates. In harmony with this feeling, and expressive of it notably, there is talk of Mr. Calkins' significant words respecting Gen. Sherman, and the applause with which they were greeted from the republican side of the house. It is certainly not to« much to say that if it could be known that Sherman would favorably consider a nomination from the republican party, and could it bo definitely understood that he is a republican and would be a republican president, there would be a strong feeling in his favor in this state. The feeling in Iudiana for a soldier candidate can be gratified elsowhere. Both Gens. Harrison and Gresham havs splendid military records, and Gen. Logan is warmly regarded by the Union soldiers. , Muj. John F. Wild mail, a man of promi nence in state politics, in a published intervie'tv say8: "What the emergency demands is a man of undoubted integrity, possossiug all the elements of successful leadership ami free from entanglements with factions inside the party, who can ooncentrcate and harmonize the separate elenf%nts. And there is no such a man at all comparable with Gen. Sherman, who can meet ail these requirements, among any of the great captains remaining in the service of the party. I know this is the general sentiment expressed by Indiana republicans, and may be accepted as an indec of the manner they will act in the national convention." Dynamiters in Paris. Paris, Feb. i—M.

When the throne of Kiig Louis Philippe had fallen in 1M8, the talented adTooate was vehement lu his profession of republican principles, and1 on the strength of them was elected member of the ov stituent assembly. A year later he succeeded Odiliou-fiarrot as minister of Justice. He identified himself with the coup d'etat of December 3, 1831, by which Louis Napoleon forcibly assumed imperial authority. The fidelity of M. Rouher to the Imperial family is the characteristic by which he is best known to his contemporaries aud will be chiefly remembered by posterity. His allegiance to Napoleon, Eugenie and the prince imperial never wavered, and when first her husband and then her sou were taken away from the discrowned "Xmperatrioe de Francais," M. ttfllher was her chief adviser and ever faitkful friend. He was among the chief mourners at Cbiselhurst on those two sad occasions, and to him—to the wisest counselor of the Napoleonic dynasty—the other leaders of it, who have also passed away, looked for counsel and guidance.] As the ways of the medical students are oocupying the attention of the public, to learn more concerning the methods and value of dissection a reporter visited a leading anatomist He willingly gave Ms views and experience.

He had little more than fulfilled Kfs seventy-second year, and yet he had survived, by almost a score of years, the abolition of the institution which, when he joined the crusade against it in 1886, seemed to be intrenched in the social as well as in the political constitution of this country and secure of lasting through many generations. Within seventeen years after he had been derided as a dreamer for relinquishing the practioeof law rather than swear fealty to a constitution which protected slavery, the restriction of slavery had beoome the only issue in American polities, and within ten years more slavery had ceased to exist. London, Feb. 4.—The Chronicle asserts that an Irish-American colony of dynamiters exists iq Paris, secreted amongst the Irish families resident in that city. Its memboi-s include adherents of the Gallagher, Rossa and r ord factions, and the colony derives a large part of its support from Congressman Finerty's "O'Donnell vengeance" fund. The Daily News eulogizes the late Wendell Phillips's character and talents, but says that he lacked discrimination in. advocacy and sometimes erred in judgment. Washington, Feb. A—Springer's committee has found tome trouble in getting the [I«|isn Mil ths yirrt office department in , certain Star routs oasss which have never been prosecuted. There was a reason below tlie surface for not wading the papers called tvifo* The poU office department understood that A. M. Gibson was employed as an expert by the oommittee. Mr. Wbson wa« originally connected with the working up of , ' thi Btar route cases, but was put out of the cases at the time Wm. A. Cook was put out. It was charged then that Gibson and Cook were not working In good faith with the prosecution, and on account of this feeling the depsKinerit declined to send up Its testimony unless It could have assurances that Mr. Qibson could not Bee the records. Mr. Springer has met this view of the situation by appointing a sub-committee to go to the department to look over the evidence there in private, so that the postmaster general will not be able to even remotely charge upon this investigating committee the responsibility of any future failure of prosecutions yet pending. Mr. Hewitt denies emphatically that there is or has been any antagonism between himself and* Mr. Morrison on the tariff question. Mr. Hewitt is not here to work for a democratic tariff bill or a republican tariff bill. He doss not know what such a bill could be. ,! "I ski here," ha said, "to get a tariff bill which will promote the commercial prosperity of the country, and, as far as possible, remove impediments to the easy transaction of business. Such a bill," continued Mr. fie Witt, "must be carefully adjusted to ths existing condition of things, and not be baaed on a conjectural condition of things -which we would like to bring about if we «auMU. Mr. Morrison preposes a borisoutal redaction of twenty per cent., which is a reamable basis for legislation, as it fulfills the public expectation that a reduction of sbott twenty per cent, ought to be made at this time.

Ti.e civil service commissioners, within a day or two, have met with treatment in one department of the government which bas greatly cheered the opponents of civil service reform. The first vacancy to be filled by the commission oocured in the navy department, and Secretary Chandler madi a requisition upon the commission to fill the place. Four names of applicants, who had qualified by passing the required examination, were sent to Mr. Chandler, who, after an inspection of their papers, sent them iifA to the commission with the statement that none of them were fit tor the place he had to fllL of dissection." "How much dissection is required at the city college*J" "The student must examine the wholo body, but many exceed the requirement*. When this is done the student usually makes his dissection with espccial reference to tho, surgical relations of the parts.

Even the meat trifling operation may call for kuowlede of this- kind for its safe accomplishment Without it thC man who essays operations will be liable to the most terrible accidents, and the history of surgery is full of them, with the consequent destruction of life resulting from tin lack of familiarity with the structure of the human body."

Constantinople, Feb. 4.—The sultan wae closeted with Lard Dufferin for more than an hour and listened attentively to all of his explanations of England's recent action in Exypt, and after asking many questions expressed himself as being perfectly satisfied with the justice and humanity of her course. He also stated that the porte was prepared and willing to enter into any arrangement with England which would extricate the kliedive from his present embarrassments, providing that the integrity of the suzerainty of Turkey shall remain unimpaired. The full import of the interview has not yet transpired, but it is believed in diplomatic circles here that the porte will shortly consent to a limited English protectorate over 'Abetter has been received by the Palace authorities which purparts to disclose a plot to murder the sultan. The letter implicates in the plot the grand vizier and other high Turkish officials, and li dated Varna, though it is believed that it emanates from London. It is probable that a commission will be sent to London to inquire into the origin of the letter. He was born in this city Nov. 29, 1811, being the son of John Phillips, first mayor of Buston. He graduated at Harvard college in 1831. and at the Cambridge law school in 1833, being admitted to the Suffolk bar in the following year. It was at this time that the excitement resulting from the agitation of the slavery question had spread throughout the couutry, rising to an unparalled degree of intensity, and culminating in 1835 in many outbreaks of mob violence. A witness of the mob of 1835, Jir. Phillips joined the abolitionists in 1836. relinquishing his professional practice in 1839 from unwillingness to act uuder his attorney's oath to the constitution of the United States. In December, 1838, he made his first speech worthy of mention, an the occasion of a meeting of citizeus ia Faneutt Hall' "to notioe in a suitable manner the recent murder in the city of Alton, of the Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, a native of New England and a citizen of the free state of Illinois, who fell in defense of the freedom of the press." At a mome it when the purpose of the meeting seemed likely to be defeated, and the resolution rejected by tbe opposition of Attorney General Austin, Mr. Phillips, who was among the audience, in an outburst of indigaant eloquence at and* rebuked the attorney general for the sentiments be had attend and secured the passage of the resolu tions. Since that time he had been a prominent advocate of the Garrisonian school of abolitionists. New Yohk, Feb. 4.—Mr. Leon Cbotteau, the well known French political ecouomist, has arrived, for the purpose of preventing the United States, if possible-, from adopting retaliatory measures on account of the em bargo placed by France on the importation into that couutry of American pork. Visit of Leon Cbotteau. "Doe* the prejudice against dissection prevent the acquirement of these facts by all th D students tn "To be sure it does. It makes the supply of subjects limited and their cost high. Thus it happens that the poor students are not able to gain this knowledge. There is another matter of much more importance to the students, and, to my mind, the public generally. Every young doctor must perform his first operation, and as matters now are ha usually . does this upon a living body. Nor, as many people fondly Imagine, is it performed in one of our large hospitals—not on the body of n "pauper whom nobody owns," but upon the quivering flesh of one who loves and is loved. Far better it would La to give all the unclaimed bodies throughout the state to the colleges so that each yoong doctor may learn the steps, and in the dissecting-room learn the dangers to be avoided. There is not an experienced surgeon in the land who, if called upon to perform an opertion new to him would not gladly avail himself of the opportunity of examining with special thoyght the cadaver, This being true, the importance of such training to those just entering the ranks of the profession can hardly be overestimated." "It would seem, then, that ttDe more people stand in the way of th eir own good and hurt themselves as much as the doctors by with- " holding subjects from the schools?" "More, I should say, and'it is by the reeognition of the benefits resulting that .the daepseated prejudice against disseotlon will finally be overcome. To a reporter be said yesterday: "The object of my visit is to discuss the question of the suppression by the government of France of the importation of American pork. 1 am not tho agent of any manufacturer*.

Vermilye, who has achieved considerable notoriety through the suM in which himself and Mrs. Vennilye have figured has boen arretted by Detective Charles Heidelberg, of New York. The detective arrived with a inquisition for Vermilye's arrest, signed by Gov. Cleveland, of New York. The detective give*4Ate following version of the basis for Vermilye's arrest: "September 28 last Vermilye want into the banking house of Howard, Lapslie & Co., on Broad street, and professed a desire to open an account. He "D»C■"—! to have money on deposit with the Orange National bank, of Orange, N. J., and Mid he would deposit a draft on the latter-bank for • 1,000, and asked that «100 be paid to him and the remainder collated and placed to his credit. A eheck was given him. 1 telegraphic inquiry revealed the fact that bo money was in the Orange bank to Vermilye's credit But in the meantime Vermllye had hurried to another bank, secured the services of an acquaintance living next door to identify him, and bad drawn the tlOO. The following day Vermilye disappeared, and his whereabouts were not discovered until the recent publications regarding the suits for divorce fell under the eyes of Lapslie & Co. They at once took steps to apprehend Vermilye, and secured a warrant for his requisition from the governor of New York on the charge of obtaining the money under false pretenses, which in that state is equivalent to larceny. Gov. Hubbard adjourned the hearing until February 9, to al-' low Vermilye's counsel time to prepare and introduce further evidence.

Tappau's hearing goes on at Jamaica to day. St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 4.—The death of Mrs. G. Alwynde Smith, which was at first upposed to be due to natural causes, has iuw been learned to be the result of malpractice. Mrs. Smith had beeu married but three months and was only nineteen years old. She was formerly Miss Mattie Maud Hinkel, and held a prominent place in the fashionable society of Kansas City, when -be resided. Her husband is a wealthy young Englishman. He is a cousiu of Lor..i Carrington and a nephew of the Smith Brothers, who are the principal owners of the iiondou street tramway cars. He h#s nade large investments here, and intended jo reside permanently in this city. He was a warm advocate of temperance, and was the labor reform and temperance candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 1870, but was defeated, although he received nearly twenty thousand votes. At a meeting in Faneuil hall in 1875, called to denounce President Grant's Louisiana policy, Mr. Phillips appeared and made a powerful speech in favor of the policy. He was opposed to capital punishment, was foremost in the ranks of Advocates for prison reform and the prohibitory liquor law and strongly upheld woman suffrage. Irish Agitation. Dublin, Feb. 4.—In spite of prohibition by the castle authorities, there were several attempts to make a League demonstration at Douougbmore. The police succeeded in preventing any proceedings in public, and the agitators were obliged to content themselves with a private meeting. "No persons are more interested in furnishing the subjects than the men and women who will intrust themselves to the care of tbs young men now fitting for the practice of mcdidne.

Not until society, seeing the loss which it entails upon iteelf by hampering tbs study, raoognises its duty, will our law-makers furnish us with subjects sufficient, and against which action little sxeept ssntimsntal objection can bs brought," Secretary Folger has decided that Mrs. Mary A Miller, of New Orleans, may be Meeiaedas a master of a steamboat, provided she can show her competency for the place. Ha says: "I see no reason, in unwritten of written law, why Mistress MUler may sot lawfully demand an examination, And, if she prove herself duly qualified, have A license to serve as a master of a steam vessel.

He bad delivered lectures in most of tbe northern states, his more notable subjects being "The Lost Arts" and "Toes saint L'Ourerture," aud his funeral eulogies on Theodore Parker and John Brown attracted univeral notice. All the Boston newspapers print lengthy tributes to the deceased from numerous prominent men and women, including Henry W. Beecher, John G. Whittier, Gen. Butler and Julia Ward Howe. There iB a general unanimity in according to him the honor of being the greatest, orator of his time, and the most jnergetic and persistent anti-slavery agitator. Julia Ward Howecalls him the "Chrysostom sf modern reform." P. W. Higginson sonsiders that his work was finished when iilavery fell. The funeral will take place in -Jie old Hollis street church Wednesday at 11 A. *L, on which occasion Bev.

A serious affray occurred at Ballymote, a village in County Sligo. Three Orangemen were attacked by a party of Nationalists. The Orangemen, being overpowered by superior members, fired at their assailants, severely and probably fatally wounding one of them. The newspapers received letters stating that Mrs. Smith had died from the effects of an abortion. Coroner Qulnn states that Mrs. Smith admitted to tiim that she had oerself attempted a criminal operation, but stoutly denied that her husband bad any knowledge of her action. The peculiar part of the affair is that the coroner certified that she died of "heart failure."

The Best Two In Tlnree. New York, Feb. 4.—The jury in tbe Di Cssuola suit gave a verdict in favor of the defendant on the first and third counts in the cofcplaints, but were unable to come to any agreement on tbe second count* The first count pointed out that deoeptive altertions and restorations in the Cypriote oolleotion had been made under the supervision of tbe defendant, upon which tbe defendant published a card, under his own signature, that the charges were maliciously made, and were absolutely without foundation. He stated that the result of a subsequent investigation by the board of trustees had to put an end to a charge made either from ignorance or malice. The third count related to the publication by the defendant of certain other false and libelous writing concerning the plaintiff, and the second count concerned was certain financial arrangements between Feuardent and Gen. Cesnola touching the sale of the collection. On the second count, from the mixed nature of the business, tbe Jury were unable to agree. SoclAeta Cain a Point.

The indications regarding the weather, that all important factor, are tliut we may! look for a very pleasant week. Already a host of strangers are in town, and trains have brought lai ge numbers, principally from Boston and New York. The rush, however, will probably occur Tuesday morning, when the hotel keepers and the carnival lodging committee will have their bands full to provide quarters for the visitors. The ice palace, the great feature, is wholly composed of ice, from the foundation to the topmost tower. The programme of the week will be commenced with hockey matches and the opening of all the tobogganing bills, with a special illumination of the Montreal club's slide, which proved so great an attraction last year. The ice palace will also be illuminated, and a display of fireworks will take place. The event of the day will be the reception to his excellency the governor general, tbi Uarquis of Lausdowne, who will male his first visit to Montreal since his recent appointment. Montreal's Carnival Week. Trouble In the American Institute. New York, Feb. 4.—At a meeting of the American Institute Beform association a declaration of principles was read and adopted. The document asserted that the institute "has been fosilising into a corporation managed with no other conception than making money for the institute or some individuals," thus causing "the withdrawal of the most prominent and. tolling manufacturers and inventors."

Paris, Feb. 4.—There is no truth in the report tuat M. de Brazza, the African explorer, is dead. Just as the ghostly widow came slowly down the big steps the fine old coachman turned his prancing pair towa»d the entrance. The poor old gentlewoman came down to the sidewalk with an evident difficulty, which spoke of rheumatism. She was perplesel and puttied at the unexpected rain-storm. She had no umbrella, and I don't believe she had car-fare. The blaok angel oa the sscrotary's carriage spied her as she stood in thr pouring rain, and recognised under all time's dimuiaee the features her friends had not ssrn Mr years. It's wonderful what sharp eyes these good old colored "uncles" and "mommies'' have.
