They are quiet and orderly, bat their's Is a calm from which a storm may come at any moment The bosses have made a new move, a move the men do not fully understand aa yet, but which, if their suspicions prove true, may give a new aspect to the strike, may even lead to violence.Brooklyn, April 27.—The Friday night talk of the Rev.

Maw York, April 88.— A banquet was given at Delmonioo's last night to commemorate the birth of Gen. Grant. The gathering was oompceed of bankers, artists, soldiers, journalists, lawyers, statesmen, railroad magnate* merchants. Oeo. H .lermaa jmirttd Instead of the old style of long tables, Gen. Sherman had the room set with eight round taMiw. forming a diamond, and in the centre of whioh was a ninth table, over which Logan •C. Murray presided. The tables wi re profusely deoorated with flowers, and the seat at Gen. Sherman's table which it wax expected Senator Hoecoe Conkling would occupy was vacant, and a laurel wreath was hung on the bank of the chair. Washington, April 28.—The time of the bouse yesterday waa given over to the continuation of the tariff debate. The senate amendment to the bill authorizing the city of Chicago to erect a crib in Lake Michigan for waterwork purposes was ooncurred in. The Senate bill for bridges across the Cape Fear, Black, and Northeast rivers, N. C., was granted. A resolution was adopted calling for information from the secretary of the interior relative to seal fisheries in Alaska. What is the matter with this old worldl Recent occurrences make some people think that the time* are out of 'Joint. Did you ever know of so many great men sick or dying or dead! Within a week Conkling among lawyer*, Aguew among doctors, Matthew Arnold among authors, A bell among editor*, Andrew* among college ex-preeldents, Rev. Dr. Hopper among pastor*, while the daily Journals are depressed by the bulletins from the sick room of Emperor Frederick, and the nations of Europe at the polnlble political changes that may be Just ahead, and crying: "Whatnext?" When It is not sickness or death It is blizzard or cyclone. The wildest elements are let loose, and off go church steeples and down go Tillages. My friends, there are no more of these devastations in proportion to the world's number of Inhabitants than there always have been, but the telegraph and the American Press Association and the Piotorial Associated Press gather them all op, and pat them before our eyes with all the particular*. of knowing only that which goes on in one neighborhood, as in olden time, we hare through wire and type a seml-omnlprssenne, and we are Informed of all the Important things that happen within 10,000 miles. As to hurricanes, Uatan always was tho |-i iuce of the power of the air, and when he wishes to ride horseback be gets astride a cyclone and with red spur of lightning urges on the wild courser until forests and villages are prostrated. But when vast regioas of this country were uninhabited a cyclone might caper around for a week and nobody heard of it. In the year 1770 a whole convention of blizzards met ia Dakota and not one breath of their utterances was reported. In 1812 a hurricane flew 1,000 miles through the northwest, and only ruffled the fur of a buffalo and sank an Indian's canoe and wrecked a bevy of wild pigeons. But now this country is getting so thoroughly peopled that tornadoes have no room to play without upsetting something. If some evening a whirlwind takes a little circuit after tea in Georgia, the next morning weall know about it A cyclone oan have no privacy, and its every move is reported. Oh, what a beautiful theory it is—and it is a Christian theory—that Englishman, German, Scotchman, Irishman, Norwegian, Frenchman, Italian, Russian, are all akin. Of one blood all nations. I was never more impressed with this truth than on the day the body of the prince imperial of France was brought to London. I was that day speaking in Exeter hall, while the minute guns were sounding. The Earl of Kintore, the distinguished Scottish lord, was presiding, and In his opening speech he said: "We have come here to listen to an American while he talks about happy hours; but eSms for that home at Chlseihurstl" And all heads were bowed, and the tears rolled down the cheeks of the people. Then I thought! "This is one grief, one agony." *AKII# POWDER Discussion on the tariff bill was then resumed.Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, said the protective system was one which tended to increase the wages of labor, and quoted from statistics to show that the rates of wages in this country exceeded those of England. He denied the assertion that the tariff on imports was a burden upon th» people. The people were not complaining that what they had to buy was too dear, but what they had to sail was too cheap. He earnestly opposed the free wool clause of the bill, and declared it would ruin an industry which was of national importance. He admitted that there was danger in a large surplus, but not so great a danger as the president seemed to suppose. The Republican party had disposed of its surplus by paying off government bonds, the Democratic party hoarded its surplus in the treasury. Speaking for himself, be was ready to co-operate with any party in further reducing the revenue, but it must be done in the continuance of the policy laid down by the Republican party. "The transportation department of the steel works employs many engineers, firemen and brskemento handle the freight that goes to and from the mill. These men all went to work on Monday, but struck again Monday Bvening to assist the Knights in their struggle. Thursday evening seventeen engineers and Bremen arrived here to take theee strikers' places. This fact was soon bruited about among t£e men. It was said the newcomers were Brotherhood men, and that they had been sent by the Pennsylvania road, whose loss, owing to the strike at the steel works, has been large, and wnich was glad to assist the Edgar Thomson to resume work. On the wall at the rear mid of the room was hung a life sise painting of Gen. Grant, around which were draped several American flags. The other parts of the room were literally covered with flags and bunting. There was but one regular toast, which was, "The Day We Celebrate," which was responded to by the orator of the evening, Beginning with Washington, the senator reviewed important national events down to the time of Linooln and Grant. He then adhered closely to his subject throughout the address. Considering Grant the typical American citizen, he paid almost reverential tribute to his memory throughout his career as commander of armies, and an untried magistrate in civil life. Senator Sherman repeated the only political speech Grant ever made, which was at Warren, O., Sept 28, 1880, in favor of Gen. Garfield. This was in presence of and supported by the eloquence of Huecoe Conkling. The address was applauded to the echo. Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

It was not because that boy was th? son of an empress, it was not because that boy died fighting (or tha English government, it waa because he was "the only son of his mother, and she a widow." Of one blood all nations— high, low, titled, unlearned, rich, poor. Oh, the democracy of religion! That la a very beautiful inscription over the door in Edinburgh, the door of the house where John Knox used to live. It is getting somewhat dim now, but there is the inscription fit for the door of any household; "Love God above all and your neighbor as youreelf." Oh, I think we must be brothers and sisters all. I think that all nations must belong to one family, and that they must have the same great mother—God. By one great bridge of sympathy Providence is taking the German nation and all nations over from Emperor William to the crown prince, the grandson who will soon take the throne. Bad the crown dropped from grandfather to grandson the political shock would have been terrlflo, but the crown stops six weeks or two months on the brow of cancerous crucifixion, so that the crown will have a new consecration, and by the time it is put upon the next brow, all Germany, all Europe and all the world will be ready to cry, "Long lire the emperor t" And what a beautiful thing it waa that the prewnt empress should have attained the throne, though she keep it only for a few week*. Bo may all Christian women rise to enthronement, if not political, aOectional, for there are as many thrones as there are hearts to love and admire. And what a lovely thing that England's Christian queen is to set foot in the German palace, while yet her Christian daughter la at highest position! May it result in eternal alliance between England and Germany, until insolent and cruel Russia shall repent for her Siberian outrages, and the winter castle of the czars shall' be Rotal Baking Powder Co., 106 Wall St., N. Y. KING & FRANKLIN'S "Whether this is so Is not known as yet, but the strikers have credited the rumor, and consternation and anger followed in its train. Threats were freely made that the new men ■hould not work, and a body of the strikers stopped three-of them near the works. Two Pinkerton men saw the proceeding and hurried to the ground and took the new men in charge, but not until they had heard the warning, "You are marked men." The sheriff has ordered a posse of forty men to go to Braddook, and there remain in anticipation of troublk The sheriff states that while everything's quiet, he thinks that it is better to be on the safe side, and for that reason decided to send his posse in. NEW Senator Sherman was followed by Hon. Benjamin Harrison, who responded to "The Republican Party." Colossal Shows ! Richard Smith, of The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, replied to the toast "The Republican Suites." Mr. Ford, of Michigan, said the question presented was one of tariff reduction, not abolition. A tariff which gave a comparatively small number of men the right and opportunity to tax the millions of our citizens 47 per cent more than their goods would sell for in open market could not fall to have the result of building up and maintaining vast monopolies and trusts, whose enormous profits were swelled and increased by the tribute which the tariff authorises them to levy from the pockets of the people. Our war tariff declared for high prices of manufactured goods and low prloes for Wheat.. The tendency of the times was to oheaper prices; not by reason of the war tariff, but owing to improved means of transportation and production; but the prices of agricultural productions had declined out of all proportion to AND— After three rousing cheers and a tiger, the Americus club adjourned. WILD WEST, Other Celebrations. Boston, April 28. — The Massachusetts club's banquet in honor of Gen. Grant's birthday last night at the Vendome was a notable affair. Among those present were Hon. A. W. Beard, who presided; Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Senator Dawes, Gen. Charles Devens, Hon. George S. Boutwell, Governor Ames, Governor Lounsbury, Governor Davis, Governorelect Taft, Lieutenant Governor Fuller, of Vermont; A. H. Rice, A. A. Ranney, W. W. Crapo, N. P. Banks and others. Gen. Hawley sent regrets; About 900 covers were laid. "An investigation Is now in progress to learn who the new engineer* and firemen are and whence they ctame. A striking engineer ■aid that he talked to one of the newcomers, who told him that they were Brotherhood men, showed him his card. On the other hand, a Brotherhood man declared that the new men were not Brotherhood men, and that no members of the organization would be allowed to take the places of any of the strikers, but would be expelled from the organization if they did. our. w. T. HHERM A N Chauncey M. Depew. Mr. Depew delivered aa eloquent euloglum on the late general. He made no reference to current political questions.Every morning and evening we feel the siok pulse in the palace at Berlin, while the old German emperor, like Otho and Conrad and Arnulf, might have been sick tan years, and except a handful of people the world know nothing about it. Mow the harnessed lightning is by wire bridle and bit turned this way and that and oompelled to carry all kinds of tidings. No wonder the overworked and tyrannised lightnings sometimes, out of revenge, strike and consume men and dwellings. Fame once meant being known by 80,000 people. Fame now means being known by 00,000,000. Charlesnange was not as widely spoken of in his time as now is Sullivan the fighter. It is not because there are more accidents, or more sicknesses, or more deaths, or more occurrences, or mora heroism, or more suicides, or more catastrophes, but becayse such things are Immediately reported, telegraphed and published. All this is bringing the whole human family in sympathy. We used io think that senators and king* and emperors were something different. But now when the temperature and pulse of senatorial and royal invalids is reported every day, and we hear the groan and see the restlessness of distinguished sufferer*, we find they are just like ourselves, and that anguish in a palace is like angnlah in a cabin, and the lancet hurts a* much when it feels for royal blood as for plebeian blood. I do not join in the reprehension of the bulletins from the German palace, or from the Elberon at Long Branch, or tha annex of the Hoffman house. Let us know all about those in whose recovery or departure we have profound interest. Such reports educate the human race In anatomy and physiology. As a consequence of these daily and hourly bulletins from the famous sick rooms, there has never before been so muoh knows about respiration, about pulsation, about temperature, about febrile rise, about digestion, •bout convalescence. The vast majority of the race have hitherto wandered about stupidly ignorant of this masterpiece of God, the human mechanism. The last few weeks have educated 10,000 nurses for the sick. The invalids of all lands for this experience will have better attendance, more kindnesp mors opportunity of restoration. Never has there been such examination of dictionaries to find the meaning of a medical phrase. One new word on the morning bulletins has sst the leaves of all the lexioons in Europe and America a-flutter. Sinoe tha time when David the psalmist., probably returned from fn Oriental directing room, wrote the autopsy, "We are tearfully and wonderfully made," and Solomon, who was wias in physiology as well aa everything else, .called tha spinal marrow the silver cord (or, "ever tha silver cord be loosed"), and oalled the ksad the "golden bowl," hewauss the skull is round like a bowl, and the membrane which contains tha brain k yellow like gold (or "the golden bowl be broken"), and called the veins of the human body a pitcher, because they carry the crimson liquid from the heart, the fountain, all through all the organs of the body (or "tha pitcher be broken at the fountain"), and called the lungs a wheal, becauee they draw to themselves and let go again like a well bucket, and called the stomach the cistern (the "wheel broken at the cistern"), and showed that he knew what Harvey thought he was discovering thousands of years after concerning the circulation at the blood. I say, since those obecur* times down to these days, when all physicians are busy instructing the people, and all medial oolleges and #11 high schools an scattering physiology mid -anatomical information, there ha« never been so much wisdom on theee subjects as today. And most of the popular intelligence is a result of the bolletins from the rooms of the Emperor Frederick, and Conkling, and Grant, and Garfield, and Llnooln. "Indelicate I" do you cry? "are such health reports." Then ycm must have a hound's skill if you can find anything Indelicate in a room of anguish around which a nation stands wringing its in prayer. Besides that, this close acquaintance with all that goeaon in tha sick room develops the feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood inaU. After Mr. Depew had delivered his oration Gen. Sherman called upon any person who choee to speak, and aa he had a great variety of intellectual lights to choose from the guests were treated to a great feast of wit. The speakers were Messrs. Beard, Ames, Hamlin, Boutwell, Dawes, Lounsbury,Devens, Davis, Taft, Banks, Rice and Crapo. usual, the farmer got the worst at it. Mr. Ford attributed the exictenoe of pools to the continuance of a high tariff. The trusts and combines' had got a monopoly of the market, and they had such a grip «n the  the people, under the guise of protection to American labor, that it is a dlffloult task to force them to relax it, and had heretofore been powerful enough to defeat every effort in that direction. those of manufactured i, and, aa "Members of the Brotherhood who are in Braddock are looking into the matter now, and if it is shown that the men who came are members of the Brotherhood, and that they have been sent by the Pennsylvania railroad, as is alleged, it is more than probable that the steel works strike will spread to the railroad. The breaking up of the strike in the transportation department affects not less than 140 men, and some of these belong to tha Brotherhood. New York, April 28.—The Harlem Republican club and the German Republican central committee celebrated Gen. Grant's birthday last night by speeches and resolutions.Among these present were Gen.

Garfield, •on of the late President Garfield, returned from Europe yesterday. Among the passengers were also Mrs. Mason and her two daughters, who are just returning from along sojourn in Bournemouth, whither they went in 188tS to seek health and pleasure. The arrival of young Garfieldjand the Mason family revives interest in the romantic double marriage soon to be solemnized at the Garfield homestead in Mentor, O., between Harry Garfield and Miss Belle Mason, and Miss Mollie Garfield, his sister, and J. Stanley Brown, who was secretary to the father of his prospective bride. The date of the wedding has not yet been announoed, and will not be until the Mason family reach the Garfield homestead. After a short bridal tour young Garfield will form a partnership with his brother, anDl begin the practice of law in Cleveland. Mr. Brown, it is sold, will take his bride to Europe, where he will finish the studies be is now pursuing in a special department at Yale, where he is saild to be very popular. Re Will Marry After All. Mr. Gaff, of West Virginia, opposed the bill A reduction of the tariff should be made by the friends of the protective system, and not by its a viewed enemies. The moment industries of the country become self sustaining and in a healthy oondition, the president in enmity suggested the pruifing knife of reform. President Cleveland's cold blooded indifference to what benefited the people was entitled to preoedenoe over all previous emanations from the executive mansion. The Mills bill has been conceived by minds impregnated with viciousnesB, and its passage would be the death knell of protection. "Another report that added to the strikers' anger was that three carloads of skilled workmen were on their way to Braddock from the Lochiel Iron works in Harrisburg. When the rumor reached Master Workman Jamison he said: oonsecrated to God, as are the castles of Windsor and Balmoral. Geo. Joseph E Johnston wrote: But what most Impresses me with recent oocurrenoes is that when God calls us we have to go. One would think that death might be satisfied with taking one emperor a year.

To show us he is not to be resisted, death takes not only the eminent patient, but the eminent physician attending him. The fact is, when our time oomee we must go.

We who have good homes would have sympathetic though (trembling hands to hold ours in the last exigency. W e all have those who love us as we love them, but when the time fixed by the merciful God arrives we must be off. There is no need of our getting nervous about it or fretting about it. All we have to do is to keep our hearts right with God and do our best, and then be unfluttered. Within a few days it has been demonstrated that the mightiest surgery of Europe and America cannot detain a man when his time is up. - Sympathising earnestly with those who desire to do honor to the great soldier's memory, it would gratify me highly to avail myself of this Invitation, but, very much to my regret, my obligations at this time will not allow me that privilege.

Davis, who was believed by many to be insane, had for some time before the crime acted in a peculiar manner, treating his wife with the greatest cruelty. Early in 1866 ha was decided to be insane, and was sent to an asylum, where he remained until September, when it was thought that he had recovered.
