A lightning express train will shortly be started between Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg.

It is reported that oases of arsenical poisoning have appeared among the women who are employed to count the new green backs. And those women do not moisten their fingers at their mouths, but with a pponge.

He has ordered ten thousand francs to be dis tributed among the Parisian poor, and the atter will doubtless shrug their shoulders as they take his bounty and say : "Whai tool I lhe sentiment of gratitude is very slightly developed among the genu ine Communards of the French capital. 4 In these days of question as to the oircalaiion of newspapers it is of interest to know that the daily newspaper having the largest cirjulatiou in the world is the Pttit Journal, of Paris. ,'It is sheet about half the size of Th Nxws and Obsiuvib., and deals largely in the de tails of crime, to the exclusion of other news ; but it prints over half a million oopiea daily. Much jesting greets the announce ment that a town in the West has been named Base-Ball. This is better, never theless, than calling a feeble Tillage Rome, or by some olassicai name which stands for pomp and power. If Grecian heroes re turned to earth and came to this continent their inst'net would be to purchase tickets forthwith for so many classically named towns in sundry States that 'travel would speedily reduce them, to the con flistency of shades. The day is coming when East Base-Ball, Nebraska, may be the home-base of a multitude. President Grevy, of France, is in a po-r sition to realize how sharper than a ser pent's tooth it is to have a giddy son-in-law. Mr. Wilson, who boards with M. Grevy 'a family ia the capacity of gendrc, is held responsible for the agitation against King Alfonso the other day, nnd be has been hurried off to Italy on a semi-official mission to keep him from perpetrating more foolishness. President Grevy should Imitate other wealthy Europeans and buy a cattle ranch for his troublesome son-in-law in Colorado. The ambitious gentle in an might find opportunity for the exer cise of his surplus talents in shaping the politics of the cowboys out there. It is gratifying to learn from a Paris telegram that tho French modistes, who cave been using up all sorts of insects and ornithological specimens in decorating headgear for women, have finally reached the feline race. Yes, the innocent kitten Las come into use, his head being thought to be the proper thing wherewith to orna fnent a blue, soft felt hat, in' conjunction with a bird with open wings. The kitten's $aput, h made to peep out from beneath the ribbon bow, and the very natural in ference is that it is engaged in its regular business of thinning out the feathered iriba. The journal from whioh we derive this information, so fraught with interest to the lashiouable world, assures us that the demand for kittens is so great in Paris now that cat breeding has come to be i regular business. In times past the cat has only been; strictly valuable to elderly jfromen and maiden lad cs left alone in the World. The animal has not been v jid of Interest, it is true, to the manufacturers of fiddle-strings, bat nobody ever thought of putting a value of 1,000 on a cat save an affluent English dowager or an old maid. The caprice of fashion has at last come to the relief of the pubiio, and the man who hereafter finds his rest disturbed by the nocturnal feline will refrain from hurling the boot-jack when he realizes that the Ct has its uses. . The fashion ' of killing kittens for milliners cannot reach this side of the water too soon.

It was made the order of the day for Tuesday next at 12 0 clock. Rev. Charles A. L.

Adjourned. The house of bishops met this moraine in the parish building Of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Rt. Rev.; Bishop Lee, of Delaware, in the chair. The new bishops consecrated since the last general convention were introduced and took their seats. The five bishops thus received were the missionary bishop of New Mexico,the missionary bishop of Man tana, missionary bishop of Washington Territory, the bishop of Pittsburg and the assistant bishop of -MississippL The . names of the bishops deceased since the ' last general - convention were read, via : Rt.

It was resolved that the house shall meet from 10:30 a. m. to 1 p. m and from 2 to 4 p. m. The standing committees were announced. Adjourned. Philadilthia, Pa., Ootober 5. In the Episcopal convention to-day, after the opening religious services and the minutes of yesterday's session had been read, Rev. Dr. E. A. Hoffman, of New York, from the committee to wait on Dr. Thorald, Lord Bishop of Rochester, re ported the presence of that gentleman. Rev, Dr. Thorald was then introduced and addressed the house, all the deputies re maining standing. He begged most sin cerely to return thanks for the kindness and courtesy with whioh his name was received. It was not his first visit to this country, said he, and he hoped it would not be the last. He was not so foolish as to hide from himBelf the fact that kindness was extended to him as a representative of EngUhd and of the church. "Let no one persuade you," said the Lord Bishop, "that England has ceased to love, America. The English church is proud of the life and aolivity of her daugh ter. , We iu the old country do not feel as if we are in our decrepitude. Yet, the American church is foremost among the religious bodies of what he might truly call the raligious land. In less than one hundred years sixty-two sees have been created in this country without asking per mission of the legislature. In the words of Cardinal Newman and John Bright, only i be united among yourselves," said the Lord Bishop, "and you will be invinc ible. The house of deputies then met with the house of bishops as the board of missions. Rt-Rev. Alfred Lee, D. D , D. C. Li., Bishop of Delaware, jwas in the chair, on his right being the Lord Bishop of Rochester, and on his left the President of the house of deputies. On motion of BishOp Stevens, of Pennsylvania, the rules were suspended in order that the Lord Bishop of Rochester might present a com munication from the Archbishop of Can terbury. The Lord Bishop -said that the Archbishop desired to congratulate the American church on the approaching cen teonary of the consecration jA Rt. Rev. Bishop Seabury. 'The Lord Bishop paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury. He bad a big heart in which was room for many religious communions, and the American church and oitizena 'iff tlje United States were always iegarded with, love and respect.' He is gone, and a wortny successor now oooupics the chair 01 fct Augustine. Archbishop Benson is a man ot great learning, of great capacity, of great courage. The Lord Bishop said he would do all in his power - to per&uade him to visit the United States ; and'altheugh the Episcopal sons of England are not afraid of any enemies who sail the waters, they seem verj muoh afraid of the waters themselves. The Lord Bishop knew what progress this blessed church was making in this great country. He held in his hand two documents the annual reports of the oommittees of domestic and foreign teis missions. The American cnuron is not guilty of that infinite baseness of telling us that because there is work to do at home the work abroad must not be done. That seemed to the Lord Bishop a shame ful fallacy. Although 200 years old, it was a missionary dioocse. He had occa sionally heard it hinted mat tne rrotestsnt RnioAm. church was an aristooratio church a church of the wealthy and not of the masses, xne ixru nisnop aia not Knlinve it.

The road is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The work on the river Is fin ished and ; they are now hard at work moving the steel rails from the river wharf to military green. The track is laid and the engines run about a mile and a halt from town. . It seems to be hard to get cross ties between hero and Rookfish, but as soon as they pass this point there wil be no further trouble, and ere long we will have our long wished for Florence road.

The in bound train on the north Pennsylvania branch of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad ran into a street car of the Union line at Susquehanna avenue and American street this morning. The car was demolished and all the passengers were more or less injured. Ten persons, who were most severely injured, were taken to the Episcopal hospital and two of them have sinoe died. The driver of the street car was inside the acar at the time of the accident. The victims were shockingly mangled, several having their limbs out and torn off. One woman had one leg cut off and both arms broken; she is still alive but can live but a short time. There was no conductor on the car and the driver's duty required him to guide his team, see that the fares were deposited in the box and at the same time to watch f or trains .at the steam railroad crossing. The railroad company had no safety-gate at the crossing, although they had been directed by the city council a year ago to erect one. The driver had stopped the car while the north-bound train passed but had not noticed the approach of train on another track. He started the horses and before the passengers bad a moment's notioe the south-bound train running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour struck the car on the side, tearing it to splinters and hurling the , passengers bruised and bleeding into a ' promiscuous heap. It is said by a man who witnessed the accident that a boy was acting driver while the regular driver was inside the car. . ' Bloom inqton, III., October 5. John K.

The note, these papers say, was well reoeived by M. Ferry and Ctullemel Laoour. M. Ferry subseqently held a conference with President Grevy. The Republique Francaise asserts that Presi dent Grevy has instructed M. Ferry to request Gen. Thibaudin to resign the portfolio of war. The Voltaire expresses its belief that Gen.

Baltimore ' Sun. Tha German shiD Herschel. from Manila, Philippine Islands,; arrived at New York on Sunday, after a voyage of 176 days. The vessjl was covered with a layer of ashes three inehes deep from the eruption on Krakatoa, a small island off Java, lying in the straits of Handa. lhe vessel passed the island on May 20th. To a reporter Captain Wupper related hii experiences. "We passed Krakatoa and entered tho Straits of Sunda," he said, "on May 20; so that we were months ahead of the great eruption whioh destroyed so ; many lives and caused such mighty upheavals a few weeks ago. The Island of Krakatoa is small, probably two or three miles across; and it lies west of the western extremity of Java, in the Straits of Sunda. It is high, covered with trees, and exceedingly rooky. Its outline as seen from ;the straits is that of a huge mountain, with a spur of jutting hill on its western edge The eruption did not appear on the main peak, but on the smaller one. ; "About 11 a. m. we were passing Krakatoa, and were off it about six miles. The sky was perfectly clear, the sun was shining brightly and not a oloud was to be seen. There was a dead calm and the sea was as smooth as it ever is with the usual swell. The temperature was normal, and I perceived nothing unusual in the appearance of the atmosphere.; Suddenly I observed ,white smoke beginning to issue lrom the top ot the smaller peak of Kra katoa. It began to shoot up, up and up, rapidly increasing in volume, spreading out and circling around, in beautiful con tortions until the whole presented a won droua and striking appearance more like a huge rosen baum tree ef roses, white ones than anything else whioh I can' think of. The smoke, which was; pure white, rushed , out at a tremendous rate and piled itself up in huge masses. Some times these shot up rapidly; then again they would swirl around in a swift cirole of motion, all producing a most beautiful effeoUThis feature of the phenomenon last ed.until 2 p.m. The white smoke, or poaw sibly it might have been steam, was accompanied by a terrific rumbling resenv bliog that of suppressed thunder, and tb;i lasted until 2 r. m., when the white smoke began to darken and grow darker and darker until it became blaok, "The thundering ceased when the color of the smoke changed. Ashes began to! come out, this, 1 suppore, causing the blackening of the smoke. The sky grew darker and darker, as the ashes rose and spread out in the heavens, until we could hardly see our way. At 5 p. m. the sky; was so filled with ashes that they began! to settle down on the ship At the same time a breeze sprang up from . the south-" east, thus following us, as we were steer ing out of the Straits of Sunda. At 8 p m. the ashes were three inches, deep all over the snip, wherever thjy could find a resting place. AU this time had seen no flame and none appeared. Of course at 11 a. m., when the eruption began, the sky was so clear and the smoke so white that it would have been difficult to set. fire, had there been any. Flames may have appeared after the dark smoke came out, bat the sky became so clouded with the vhes and cinders that it was impos sible to see whether there were flames. It was three days before the sky became elear, as ashes continued falling upon the ship for that time. There was no heaving of the water, so far as I discovered, dur ing the eruption. "The sky on May 23 finally cleared up from aft The ashes were of a light gray oolor, and of ordinary weight We found them useful for polishing purposes.. Some of them were coarse, but most of them were fine, as fine as flour, and these we have used for cleaning painted .woodwork and for polishing brass. There's plenty of them on the ship now; come down and see us to morrow at Harbeck's stores, and we'll show the results of our experience with the volcano of Krakatoa."

We have heard nothing said about reopening tho iron mine at Ore Hill, but as it is suoh valuable property we should think work wou'd be resumed at an early day. The extension of this road to Ore HiU, even, if it never went farther, will be a great benefit and oonvenionoo to the people of western Chatham.

A great excitement has been created in Ohio by the announcement in a Re, publican newspaper that Judge lloadly on bis return to the State, took with him $60,000, which h gathered up during his stay in the East, ti be used in furthering Democratic interests. The Judge could have had $100,000 if he had Bimply asked for it, but as a matter of fact; he went back to Ohio poorer than when he left Both his board bill and doctor's bill in Philadelphia were heavy almost enough to swamp an average candidate. ; OCTOBER 3.
