A London cable says : Tbe tirade of Elizabeth Ktnart Pbelpa (Mrs. Ward) on dfCullfte dresting has called forth consider- able comment from tho London press, much of which is far from complimentary o the thin-ikinned American. One writer layi, referring to Mri. Ward'i article: ' People wbo talk and write in tbii style are either not very well informed on their subject or they are constitutionally in capable of believing that there is more cleanliness and acun-l health in the world at large than exiata in their own minda nd i.aluri'S. Home of us are SO unfortunately constituted that we must first create tho vices we want to destroy, and there is nothing that docs ao much harm to society as this ilatanl crusading by prurient imriata against evils that have scarcely the shadow of so existence outside of their own maginaliona. Mrs. Ward is sorry that adiea wbo go to the theatre do not avert their glancea and blush when tbe ballet comes on. Well, there are some who do so, jut they are the sort of women who make assignations with their lovers in charch, ask French conundrums in whispers at tbe dinner tables, and read anonymous French vice between tho covers of fashion prints. 1'he woman who opens her eyes when tho jallct comes on, finds a good deal less ira >roprioty in that entertainment than ahe would be likely to find in tlm occasional diatribes against them In the maga/.ine rticlra by Briliab or American matrons."

On Saturday laat Mr. Totten, who ia a constable, with two cflicera, took iwo women and a man to Trnro and placed hem in jail under warrants for violating the Llijuor License Act. Many threats were made at the time against tbe livea ol tbe officera, and againat Mr. Totttn in particular, bat no attention waa [aid to ihein. The fiend who committed the dastardly act laat night firat broke into the luildinga of tbe Londonderry Iron Com- pany and stole a ijnantity of dynamite which he placed under the corner of the boose, directly under the kitchen, where he thought no doubt the family would be about Ibe time. Fortunately Mr. Totten's wife 'i little children, who were alone in tbe boue at tbe time, the father being absent in '1 rum, happened to be in another part oi the house when the scoundrels set the ex plosive off. The report it ma. Is was terrific ind was heard all over the town. Tbe bouse waa badly wrecked, but tho oc,.'n pants, be>ond being badly ahaken np, were not serioaily injured. Shortly after tbe explosion a man was seen running from tho hcnae, but owing to the darkness he was not recognized.

The father did not return until Sunday evening, and on opening the box he found the boy lying dead in the bottom and the irl in a dying condition. The suffocating :losonegs of their priaon, combined with lunger and thirst, had done its work, brightened over tbe result of his brutal uare-lessneav, tbe father endeavored to exonerate himaolf by concocting several ilorica, but was quickly arreated. Tho Indian intended to return to tho children Saturday night, but he was delayed. An Important Mail Intercepted.

A Geneva oable says : A supplement t tbe Journal de Geneve says all is chaa in the Canton of Vioino. The revolutionists have itill tbe upper band. At Yicino they occu pied the prefecture and the arsenal, ex pelling the officials by force and they stil hold them. No serious resistance was madi by tbe Cantonal Government, wbo were unable to cope with tbe insurgents. Th Federal Government baa despatched 1,500 troops to Yicino to restore order and rein state tha local authorities. The oflioia killed by a revolver shot last night was councillor of State.

Herne spoke to the New York actors (rom tbe atage of the Bijou Theatre laat month. In the course of bia address) he aaid : Now I am a aingle taxer because I do not believe in revolutions. The great French revolution simply deposed one set of despots to replace them with another set. The American revolution dethroned one orowced king, and in hia stead there have arisen 25,000 uncrowned kings. The c-own was bat a symbol. Tbe single tax will quietly but effectually depose all kings, and under it they can never rise again. It will render it utterly impossible for any one man to oppress another ; for when any man can get land to use, paying to the . 'im- munity a just tax for tbe value of his loca- tion, and no tax on what be produce* from it, he ia absolutely free he need not beg for work. Nature ia prodigal and yields to those who woo her. Now, unlike revolution, the single tax can only opme slowly. It cannot come until tbe minda of the people are ready to receive it. Bo gradual will be its approach that the change will scarce be fell until n is accomplished ; bat that gradual appro .ch will stay tbe tide of a blocdy revolution. It wrongs no man ; it rights all men ; it means land for the people, wages for labor, interest to capital. Instead of land speculation, it will open up oppor- tunities for investment hitherto undreamed of by capitalists. Thii ii why I am a aingle taxar. It is not a hobby with me. Bow can anything be a hobby or a f*d that in, jJves all that is best in life ? Herbert Spencer, Tyndall, Huxley, Darwin, Humboldt, Car- lyle, all saw the injaatioe of land specula- tion, and said so. Mr. Howells, Mark Twain and Edward Bellamy see it to-day, and say so. The press throughout the land sees it, and says ao. Tbe musicians sav so. The poets, Shelley, Burns, Emerson, Whit- man and Lanier, say 10. The artiata, among whom are to be named Deforret* Brush, George Innes, John J. Enrekin, Dan Beard, F. 8. Church. Robert S, well, Kenneth Cranford, 1. 8. Hartly, aay ao. Ia the pulpit, Biahop Potter, Bishop Spanld- ing, Lyman Abbott, Hebert Newton, lUbbi Scbircller. Father Hantington, M. J. Sav- age and otbera say so. Tbe statesmen, the merchants, the clerks say so ; the mechan- ics, the laborers aay so ; and so 1 oome to you, actors, to ask you, not to say so, bat for God's sake to say something not to follow me, but to go into the publio libraries and read the literature of the day upon this question and oppose me if voa can. Shake off this lethargy ; it is killing your art. It is keeping yon idle and lowering your standard of worth. It is said that there is an oversnpply of theatres and actors. No ' there is no oversupply of anything, and there never can be, ao long aa one human want remain* nustuiatisd. Underconsumption ia the trouble, i'ree land, concentrate your people, instead ol loroiog them out over thousands of miles of territory ; economi/s your vitality and your wealth, advance your civilization step }y ati'p in the order of evolution ; luund new cities only as they are needed, and yon will find that }ou havn't got halt ibeatrM or actors enough. I am accused of being the champion of tbe common laborer I am tbe advocate of all labor ; bat I know .bat we can do nothing until thv cuf.imon laborer is free. Ho has got to be freed first. And I confess that it does seem to mo that ihere ii something radically wroni, in a ly item that forcei a man to toil iuoetuutly 'rom the sunrise to the sunset of hia life a life shortened en an average thirty years only I? stand on tbe threshold of hia grave at laal, gnarled and twiated like an old oak, and looking backward, say to himself: For all this toil an insufficiency of food and clothing through life, and a pau^er'a (rave at the end." Acd yet (rom that man's toil, from tbe wealth he has pro- duce.!, some man or corporation of men has grown rich. It ia hard to make th* comfortable people of the world see this truth, jual as it is difficult to make the comfortable R tor, Ibe actor who is always iu an engagement, believe that there is not something radi- cally wrong with the uncomfortable actor who can get nothing to do. The rich are Mginning to see it. That is demonstrated in tin ir extensive charities. The Un;-- was that they waited until after deaih before dispcaing of their wealth ; now the j are adopting charitable measures daring their ives. Charity under tbe present coiuntioa of things is a necessity, and we can't have too much of it ; but I could wish we were well nu of it, and that justice atood in its itead. " Charity covereth a multitu-.t of sins," but it also begets a multitude of rougs. When Caruegie built that $300,- KX) library and bestowed it upon bin work- men, one of them said, " If Andy'd only >ay ua our full wages we oould build oar iwn libraries."
