Niw York, Aug. 8.—Among the citterns and their wives and children who longed to sea the face of the dead general were many of forefgn birth, but it seemed strange to see a full-blooded Chinaman, pig-tailed and with his shirt outside his trousers, standing alongside a son of the JSmtrald Isle. It most have also struck the latter a; strange, for he asked the Chinaman: "What are the loikas of yon doing in the line}" Lorooir, Aug. a—The speech of Lord Randolph Churchill, secretary of state for lud a, in presenting the Indian budget to the house of commons ha? croaMV gfcat sensation m India. His wautcn and tetirrilous attacks upon Lord Ripon are bitterly resented in Calcutta, where the former viccroy has many warm friends and admirers. Lord • Randolph's first official utterances in his new capacity wero awaited with eager interest in India, and they hare Hta received with a feeling of great disappointment. It is complained that instead of treating the defloit with which he is confronted in a broad, statesmanlike manner! his only care has bean to make it as effective a partisan weapon as possible against the late government and the Liberal party. His intimation that vigorous economy is to be practiced in view of the 'deficit is very unpalatable in India, where it is said the plan is to starve the civil service on the plea that this ondrso is rendered necessary by the errors of the past so as to make the late government unpopular, If this is the plan, however, it is certain that it will miscarry and will react disastrously upon the present government. All Utn departments of the Indian administration are now manned by Liberal officials, who dannot be removed by the time the Tories are likely to continue in office. Thoie officials have great freed om-of action within certain limits, and they will be certain to put their own construction upon orders emanating from the Indian office of tho home government. Instead of seeking to conciliate the officials to whom he must look for the carrying out of his instructions, Lord Randolph begins his official career by berating their late chief and by threatening a' wholesale reduction of their supplies. Be has thus at ono stroke raised a hornet's nest of enemies in India who will misinterpret his policy there, and through their innumerable friends In Englani will add to his unpopularity and 8wall the ranks of his opponents at home. The Tory Standard, which has bean foremost in the revolt against Lord Randolph, is out again with another note of warning and begs the premier to unload this bumptious young man before he has completed the ruin which he has so affectively begun and wholly wreckad the party's chances in the general elections. Richard K. Fox, proprietor of The Dew York Police Oazette, was secretly married to a young lady who gave her name as il« Dod, of Brooklyn. The marriage was by special license and was performed in the Strand. The utmost secrecy was observed, and two of the registrar's clerks acted as witnesses. Mr. and Mrs. Fox started at once for Paris, and will remain far the present at the Continental hotel in that city. The officials of the (livoroe court are almost bursting with a secret which involves another scandal in high official circle*. The court officials are guarding the secret well, but it is said on good authority to Involve a petition for divorce on the ground of adultery against a leading Tory statesman «ml member of this present cabinet.

The general called upon the members of the Grant family during the evening and spent some time in conversation with them. He afterward went out with some old army friends, and the party was later Joined by a delegation of ez-Ccmfederate officers from Georgia. As they walked toward the Hoffman house Gen. Sherman recognized in a passing cab the features of the old Confederate general, Joe Johnston. He at once retraced his steps, and with his friends reached the entrance to the Fifth Avenue hotel almost as quickly aj Gen. Johnston, The two generals who had met in the strife shook hands cordially is front of the clerk's desk, and walked arm in arm toward the elevator.

The 200 voices harmonised and rose sweetly upon the night air. The tones were wafted to the innermost parts of the city hall and sounded weird, yet fell with soft cadence upon the ears of the watchers.
