NKW YOIIK , March JTho Sun's cable
savsThat's enough , ' ! snid Gladstone , palo
and firm na the tellers announced that the vote
for censure hnd bson rejected by the email ma
jority of fourteen. Tco old man la clinging
to power with n Bomlo tenacity , The expec
tation was tuttt If the vote against the govern
ment hail been successful there would have
been not a change of thd government , but a
ahullling cf the ministerial cards ; that Glad-
etoto would have retired with Lord Derby
and a few others , and that Lord Hartlngton
would have been made prime minister. The
chief reason for thin rjxpootation wosthn now
notorious ( act thntthe present pelicy in Egvpt
was essentially the policy of Gtadetonq. The
only occasion on which anything llko vigorous
operations have t&kcn place , atich ns
battles near Sunltim last .yx'ar ,
lnvo been when Glndtttono wai Incnplcitatcd
by the state of bin Jicnlth , mid oneof hii wotot
Jits of illiiosaVM induced by \iolout attack
of coughing , which seized htm when ho was
out vutod by the othsr rnowbera of the
cabinet , nnd troop ) weio retained In Egypt.
'In epitn of the governments escape of last
night , the future remains very dark and un
certain. Few people bollevo thnt the cabinet
can agree ou any policy. Their declarations
during Ihcae tiiibatcs have been absolutely
irreconcilable , and few intelligent nnd im
partial observers now fiupposo that the ex
pedition to Khartoum will ever bo anything
moro than a temporary expedient to get
through the critical division Inthe parliament.
Aa tlmo goes on and no advance IB made In
the settlement of the great question
the tide will again rise against the
government , and they will find
it hard if not nn possible to maintain thatcom-
binatlon of such irreconcilable forces , ai the
jingo whiga and the peacful radicals. For
eign complications meanwhile everywhere as
sail the cabinet.
The scare about Jlussla and Afganiatan has
not yet entirely disappeared nnd thera IB a
very ugly misunderstanding brewing with
ITraiico m releiuuco to the declaration of llicu
an contraband of war. The Irish vote
exorcised u > controlling influence in the divi-
fiioa of Friday night. There were _ no less
than forty-five Irish votes cast against the
government which if thrown the other way
would have raised the majority from the mis
erable fourteen to the magnificent figure
of 101. There was Bomo little apprehension
about the fata of the laiah seats under the re
distribution bill controlled by Lord Salisbury ,
'but the rucent discoursing answer o ! the
Ungliuhconservative chiefs to the demands ol
the Irlah Orangemen convinced tbo 1'arnell-
itofl that the peril was voiy small , and the
thirst for vengeance against the coercion liber
als carried the day. The proposed visit ol
the prince of Waioa to Ireland already cause !
no much muttered dlflaatlsfaction that it IB
generally thought It will not take place , at
least not while .Lord Spencer ia lord lieuten

but thinks the proper course for the govern-

by passing the redistribution of seats and reg
istratton billn , and appear before the now con
Btitutncies in November. The cabinet will
hold a council to-day to consider what course
to pursue. The house of commons waa crowded -
od in every part early In the evening but the
crowd thinned somewhat when the expected
Irish scare did not occur. Tno house filled
again , however , while Labouchcro for aud
1'otster against tbo government were speak

suit of the division of the house of lords was
known aud the galleries cf the commons wen
crowded with peers and btrangora ,
who were kept on tiptoe of oi'

Special Telegram to THE HE * .
NKwYoiiK , Mr y 1.-Universal sympathy
is expressed at the condition of Gen. Grant ,
which was made public yesterday. There
seems to bs no doubt but that the General hiu
but a very ehort tlmo to live , He has been
suffering from cancer , brought on by excessive
smoking for some time. Hla disease assumed
a most dangerous character last Monday , The
General had eaten some very rich cream and
ho found It so palatable that ho probably took
too much. At the name Umo the bringing up
and the failure to pass the relief bill in can
groia , it Is thoufht , annoyed him. Hla friends
tried to keep the various paragraphs In the
newspapers from him , but ho evinced a desire
to read them. Last Sunday night ho felt con
siderable pain in his head. He sat up in bed
and listened to the reading of hla book. When
tha front Cdoor waa opened , or a dralt of
air passed across hit head , it
seemed to make the pain worse. During the
lust week ho suffered a great deal , and was
visited by Dr. Douglas twice a day. The
general slept Tuesday night according to Dr.
Dougla1 statement , but on Wednesday ho
was seized with a violent earache. It was not
neuralgia , but a icllex of the pain in the
throat. That night he rested poorly. On
Friday night ho was somewhat better , nnd
the pain had subsided. \ estordoy ho sat up ,
bolstered in a chair , nnd worked on his book.
The piln was nearly all gone , although lie
waa not free from n diaagrceablo feeling in his
head. Dr. Elliott made a microscopical ex
amination on February 19 , which did not
result la favor cf the patient , The
doctors , of courto , make no predictions
dictions as to the rapidity with whch |
the difcoso will work , but their opinion
Bcems to ba that the gallant od ] warrior has
at inott only a few months to live , and Hut
I11B DKATH MAT OCCOIl IN A SHORT TIS1E.
The general's relatives have constantly tried
to cuecr up their patient , and to encourage )
him with the hope of gltting better , but after
talking with his physician he seemed to real
ize the dangerous character of his disease ,
hence he 1m worked with all his strength
upon his book , which he "seems anxious of fin
ishing at once. During his recent Mines ? ,
when not confined to his bad , the general's
habits have been very regular. Ho was ac
customed to rise at 8 o'clock. Ho would then
read the papers and breakfast. At 11:30 : ho
would bo driven down to Dr. Douglas"
ollico on KaU Twenty-sixth street , accompan
ied by his old colored valet , Harrison Tyrrell.
On his return ho would work on hit ) book
seven or eight hours at times , dining at 7 p.
in. Sometimes in tha afternoons the General
would take a ride In the park , but his hours
of recreation wcro usually after dinner. Many
friends wcro accustomed to call , and n pleas
ant game of whist would bo indulged In. The
General usually retired at about 11 o'clock.
General Grant would otton consult wfth his
friend ] in regard to his book. General B.ideau
would go over it with him at times. Thesa
little gatherings in the evening tended to
cheer him up when he became troubled over
his throat.
He had beeu'toldfrornthedtait | the nature of
tha trouble. Many friends have called at the
house in Sixty-sixth street during tha last
week to make anxious inquiries aa to the gen-
oral'a condition. It has been ono of his sorrows
rows that ho could not see them ,
THE QIIEATEST SYMPATHY
is expressed on every Bide with Gen. Grant In
hla painful trouble , while the anxiety for his
welfare of hia old army friends , who had been
accustomed to gather in thelong parlors on the
first floor , which are adorned with many
uriositiea gathered and presented to him
luring his journsyings around the world , has
jeen touching in the extreme. 'IkroughouthlB
roubles. Gen. Grant has worked constantly
u his literary project. Of lata his attention
laa been fjlven to hia own autobiography , feel-
og that it It is to be completed it must be
"ono at once. His literary work for the last
ear baa embraced n series of papers on the
lilforent battles and campaigns of the late re-
'ollion , which were contracted for by the
Century Magazine , and one of which has been
irlntecf , that on "Tho Battle of Shiloh. "
ihe others were to be on " Jho Vicksburg
Campaign , " "Tho Chattanooga Campaign , "
, nd "The Wilderness Campaign.- His last
work , and that upon which ho Is now
"abonntj , the history of his military life. The
'rat volume la completed , and the second
early so. General Grant has been most
iatent ! during his sickuosa. Even while sit-
ng up with bandages about his head , which
'oi throbbing with pain , with a resigned ,
calm expression he would lUton to the read-
"ng of hla book , and with an apparent effort
juggest the few changes ho desired in the text.
His sons and relatives have been about him at
ivory possible moment during hts suffering ,
ind nave tried to raise his spirits and make
ho bouts as cheerful as possible.

WASHINGTON , March 1. The house com
mittee on military attain has been Investigat-
ng the accounts of General lien liutler as ono
f the board of managers of the national
oldiers' homo.s and it has discovered a very
argo shortage , which is stated to bo as high

did of destiny has been acting an treasurer ,
iabursing officer , auditor , executive commit-
,00 nnd everything else of the board , and has
jeen doing just as ho pleated , and his col-
eagues did not interfere. Last summer the
nib-committee of the military committee made
> tour of the national soldiers' homoi and In-
estimated matters thoroughly. The result
was the dlecovery that the revenues of the
homo * were leaking away badly , and tha com
mittee began an Investigation of Mr , liutlcr ,
who appears to have been manager , with the
result abjve stated , Tno military committee
will report the facts to the house at the uarli-
jt opportunity , and leave the
OUBO to decide what action to
ako. The committee will not usk for an In-
cetigation , helloing that their own investi
gation is sufficient.
The government la paying Butler $17OCO a
oar rect for two of his houses on Capitol hill ,
jut this property ia mortgaged , It la pro-
turned that llutlor has the moans of making
.ho fund * of the homes good , but the fact that

leased to the government has given rite to n
timor that hu is financially embarrassed , and
Jiat all of his expensed during the late presi
dential campaign wf re not paid by the ropub-
Mean national committee. As the general'

The following la nn abstract of the tor-
inon which was preached yesterday morning -
ing by'Uev. W. J. Ilaratm , of the First
Presbyterian church , baforo the Wo
man's Missionary society.
Malt. XL , 28 ! "O woman , grcnt ia thy
faith. "
Woman's position in this world ht.i
novcr been accurately defined , nor her
Influence properly estimated , Writers
ard too prejudicial to giro n just opinion ,
and history itself utters an uneven rolco.
Even so deep and reasonable n thinker as
Kant takes nn unstable position on this
subject. In his little book on "Tho
Sentiment of the Beautiful" ho reserves
to man the noble virtues nnd leaves to
woman only the beautiful virtues , by
which ho nndcnUnda nn agreeable ,
spontaneous virtue , exerted without ef
fort. "Speak not to woman , " sajs he ,
"of duty , of obligation. Expect not
from her sacrifices nor generous victories
over horeclf. " Thus speaks Kant ,
and it is a remarkable instance
of a judgment nt variance with
hit usual ncnto moral senao. Examples
of n directly opposite sentiment might
easily bo given , Truth ia , there Is noth
ing upon which there is apt to bo greater
diliorenccs of opinion. Woman will bo
found everywhere in the world , as the
poet represents Agrlppim in the senate :
"Behind n veil , invisible and prettent , "
As by woman Satan entered Into the
the innocent race , so it has boon thought ,
may bo-traced to woman the calamities
and crimes which desolate humanity
the rabltr , the revenges , the trials , the
suicides , the duels , the murders , nnd the
wars. And ni by n woman our Savior
came into the fallen rnco , r.o shall no
equally trace to woman the thoughts nnd
the works which olovatoand brings poaca
to humanity the tender devotions , the
generous sacrifices , the holy aspirations ,
the religious institutions and the public
charities. Is It not for this roison that
att and poetry , In all ages , have
personified the moral power
by women , nnd that the Holy Spirit him
self , in the Proverls , has delineated un
der the traits of two women the two op-
poslto tendencies which divide the woild ?
Prov. vii , viii , ix , 1-2 , ix , 13-18.
The explanation of this diiFeronco ia
that TToman has been considered apart
from her Savicr. Ho always spoke of
her tenderly , and filled with his love she
not only ministered to him in life more
faithfully than nil the apostles , but also
has filled the pariod since his death with
the moat cfliclent services. I purpose
giving you nn outline of this to day and
sball Invite your attention to two main
themoa the vast improvement in wom
an's condition through the means of the
gospel nnd the consequent gratitude that
ought to bo felt and manifested.
1 need not pauss to day to describe the
position of women in Mohamotnn and
heathen countries. Yon are all too fa
miliar with the pictures , There you may
ace unchristian principles carried to thalr
logical results in the dwarf-minded , silly-
hearted , poor , ttirvod-souled womon.
What can the children bo when the
mothers ara ouch ? What can the protont
social and future eternal outlook be when
theao evils are unremodled ?
Nor need I attempt to-day a gradual
dawning of the Christian morning upon
the darkened temalo mind.
A mighty change has como about
hrongh the religion of him who spoke
clndly to the women of Bethany and re
membered his mother with affection on the
rojs of Calvary. It has been been well
aid that civilizations may bo gauged as
o their treatment of women nnd chll-
ron. And , truly , the civilization of
vhlch the gospel is the cantor may , on
this principle , be marked at the highest
iolnt.
Nor can I pause to trace the heroic
gratitude with which woman has repaid
nil that the gospel Has done for her.
If it wore not for woman our family
altars would in a largo measure .bo dark ,
and our maecalino knowledge of Christ's
irork very meagra. And what words can
fittingly describe- the earnestness and
"alth with which the woman's missionary
ocietlcs all over our land have studied
, nd preyed and sacrificed tosnpport their
oiling sisters whom they have
ont to the ends of the earth !
lust not the voice of our risen Chris
o saying In InQnltp love ont of heaven ,
' 0 , woman , great is thy faith. " Looked
, t in this light how full of meaning be-
omo the beautiful words of the poet :
) , what makes woman lovely } Virtue , faith ,
And gentleness In Buffering ; on endurance
Through acorn and trial ; these call beauty
forth ,
- ive it the stamp celestial , and adinitjt
To sisterhood with angel ? .
This brings us to the second division of
y subject. 1 hope yon will not imagine
hat I0 consented to preach this apacinl
ormon simply to give mo an opportunity
> f eulogizing the oifect of the gospel upon
'oinale character. 1 have in view a pur
pose intensely practical , and in fulfilling
't shall venture to nddresimyself directly
o two or throe classes represented before
mo ,
To the wives who are present our
.homo has a very practical bearing , now
does It como that you are eu happy
"n your homes ? Why are you surround ,
id by ovorjthing th t love can furnish ?
Your homes may bo more or loss supplied
ivlth the appointments which wealth can
: nrnish ; but yon are nil the objects of re
ect from your friends or children , nnd
of affection from your husbands. Von
can read , that ia something ; you can
hold up your head ns being batter than
brutes or slaves , that is mora ; nay , you
can feel on a recognized ( quality with
those whom you most respect and love ,
this is everything. Now , I would have
you think to-day that Christ has given
you all this through his gospel , and lot
the thought lead you to thankcglving and
praieo. Have you over honestly thought
of the degradation of the mothers of our
Anglo-Saxon race and turned in gratitude
to God , who has been pleased to rescue
you from it ? And I wanld also have yon
think of the millions of wives and moth
ers in heathen lands , with hearts just like
yours , who are still locked in the shackles
of Buperstllionaml the darkness ot slavery.
Can you not do tomothlog mora for their
redemption ) Are there not some future
incrificea yon are willing to make In tholi
behalf ?

SOCIETY" GOSSIP ,
EvontH of the AVeck in Onislm The
Season or Ijoiit Onuses a Dull
ness In fioolul Circles ,
The curtain is rung down on the fes
tivities of the winter , nnd in the twink
ling of an eye nil in the world of society
Is changed from gay to grave , The last
iraught of pleasure was drained nt the
Liningor wedding with the zest that at
tends the last affair before Lent ; and
those who reveled in mirth till Ash-Wed
nesday morn have denned the conven
tional Back-sloth and ashes with the same
facility with which they decked thom-
lolvoa with satin and jovrek the night bo.
iora and prepared to do penance nt the
ill or of Divinity the next forty days for
the sacrifices laid at the shrine of mam
mon the remainder cf the year.
Probably the society reporter Is the
chief sufferer nt this period , for to him it
means n fresh don nnd on an already
over taxed imagination in lion of items
for his column. ' To thpso who do not
have to sling ink for their dally bread
to the butterflies who elude the thorns and
hovvr about the rotes of life , it is wel
comed as n season of much needed
rest an opportunity for the Flora &Io-
Flimsoysof society to recuperate for post-
lenten festivities and replace thit iixod
bloom In their cheeks , with nature's softer
coloring.
Those who prefer to observe lent are
still sloooing off their dissipation , but
luckily this doca not include the whole
community.
There were no loss than three mas
querades last Saturday. Those nt Turner -
nor and Gormania halls have already boon
mentioned in Monday's paper. The
Casino r'.nk presented a brilliant and fan
tastic sono. About n hundred skaters
assembled en masque , while standing
rosin was scarcely to bo had among the
spectators. J. C. Elliott , the proprietor ,
as king of the carnival , were the hand
somest costume there ; Mrj. Edholm ,
wore a jockey suit , was very pretty ; W.
S. Helprey , in the middle of the floor ,
rode his hobby to his hoatt's contant and
made n conspicuous , if not entirely orna
mental center piece round which princes ,
pages , peasants , etc.revolved. As many
names as conld bo learned are given here :
Walter Morris , Russian Jew ; Mamie
Powers , lamborlno girl ; Gene Koyos ,

bard ; Ralph Clarke , militiaman ; W. 0.

woman ; Gussie Tromaiuc , shepherd girl ;
J. B. Lonnsbury , dude.
On Monday night the Light Guards
drew about three hundred people to
watch them tiling in ghostly procession
round the rink.
A church sociable ia often a satire on
its own name. Sometimes a cKquo will
monopolize every available amusement ,
and leave outsiders to take cnra of them
selves. Wo have occasionally been in
veigled into attending thorn , and it
seemed to us a placa where everyone is
making a desperate effort to convince
everybody oho thnt ho Is enjoying him
self Immensely and failing lamentably in
the attempt.
Such , however , is'not the case with
the entertainments of the St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church. Last
Monday Mr. Sam'l Burns kindly gavu up
his spacious parlors to the popular Golden
Fleece society , and the following pro-
prammo was rendered :

COMPLIMENTS TO VAN WICK
A Itcil l < cttor Day
PlntUmottlh Journal.
Thursday was a red loiter day for Ne
braska's senior sarmtor. Surrounded on
every lurid by senators who are the sub-
siJizjd conxturcsof Gould and Huntington -
ton , with millions of money to osilst in
the control of public opinion in their in
terest , the Santsonof | Nebraska grappled -
plod with the whole horde of them and
almost nlono , armed only with the sword
of justice and cnd ! in the armour of
righteousness , won n great triumph for
the people ai well as for him
self , It WAS such a contest as thnt
spoken oi in the scripture , where
' 'one can chase n thousand , two can put
ton thousand to flight. " The men who
nro owned by Gould are essential cowards
when compelled to face the tire of public
crltisism , just as all tcoundrels are , nnd
If there bad boon a ohnnco for Wilson ,
Allison , Cullom , Morgan , Laphnm , ami
their kitlnoy , to have dodged , they
would have done so. The great Nobras-
kian kept thorn under fire nil the tlmo ,
and they finally surrendered. This con
test was an event in the congressional
history that will long bo remembered na a
victory for the peplo.
A Mnnly
Crelo Vidottc.
On the insldo of this paper will bo
found the remarks made by Senator Van
Wyck on his amendment to Incro&co the

unfortunate class of pensioners nnd had
the eatltfnctlon of seeing his amendment
adopted by both houses.

According to reports from nearly nil
quarters It was the strenons , persistent
clFort of Senator Van Wyck that worked
the bill forfeiting the Texas Pacific hnd
grant thronth all the tricks of a powerful
railroad lobby nsdcf he atilo senators , nnd
finally socui o.l i's ' passage. Senator Van
Wyckton'tby no nioanu our model , but ,
afttr hearing hfs victory complimented
by many of tlm lending jouranls of the
country , wosrj led to remark , as wo have
fnkou occi&ion to before , that .Mr. Van

in Congress.

Nebraska Nupget.
Senator Van Wyck has secured the
passage of the Texas Pacific forfeiture
bill. By the passage of this bill the
land granted to this railroad returns to
the govornmnnt for the nonfulfillment of
contract. Much is said against our
senior senator by the shite paper ? , but ho
accomplishes moro for the people than
any man In the Nebraska delegation in
congress ,
A Pplondld Victory.
lawson County Herald.
Senator Van Wyck has tcsrad another
victory over monopoly. It was through
his constant persistency and extreme
watchfulness that the Texas Pacific for
feiture bill was passed by the senate last
week. It was the manifest Intention of a
majority of that body to kill the bill , and
the Nebraska senator told them so. Ho
scored the monopole crew severally and
individually , and asked questions BO em
phatic and poiotdd that the grave
and reverend senators winced nnd
moved uneasily In their seats. Ho
fought a good fight and won a
splendid victory for the people nnd
in the days to como when the people at
largo shall claim their own and control
their own , they will remember Van Wyck
as the noblest Roman of them all.
Entitled to tlio Oral Undo of the
AVIiolo Country.
Blair Republican.
Senator Van Wyck's fearless and ag
gressive etnnd In favor of popular redress -
dress and justice ns against the grasping -
ing monopolies ; his laborious , able
and zealous efforts to secure legislation
for the messes , and to undo some of
the robberies termed land grants , has
made him the best known , the most
quoted and most copnlar representative
of the northwest. His influonca to-day
Is paramount to his success' in carrying
important meaiutes over the most deter
mined opposition over organized by any
congressional lobby.
Uillroad organs and a paid partisan
press have done their beat to asperse his
motives and bclltclp his noble achieve
ments in congress , but the people ntlargo
fully tppreclato his unswerving fidelity
to their causo. His strong and tenacious
opposition the remarkable nnd fearless
ardor which leads him to push all partisan
considerations naido like cobwebs when
they interfere with his convictions all
those nblo characteristics hao called
down the wrath of monopolists whoso
schemes ho has thwarttd , made him
assailed an eccentric crank , hooto nt as a
corrupt demagogue conapliiog to sccuro
wealth and place. But unfortunately
for the promnlgatora of ouch charges ,
during nil the extended public services of
Van SVyck , hlspernonal and publb honor
has retrained untarnished. In theto
'ajs f f political degeneracy , how rare it
to find suoh an example of honest de-
otion to the interests cf the common
aborlng class.
Ills labors in this session entitle him
o the admiration and gratitude of the
rholo country. Hii anti-feoca law will
ait a peremptory check on capitalists
! onclog up thousands of acre ] of tbo pub
ic domain to the exclusion of the actual
icttler. Ho has secured the pissago in
, ho senate of an amended pension bill
which increases the pay of disabled pen-
loners , their widows and children , from
Ight to twelve dollars n month. Hfs
successful fight to secure tbo passage of
he Texas I'Acido forfeiture bill in the
enato , covers him with fresh renown.
Senator Van Wyck'a strong hold on
ho paoplo has been honestly acquired.
The record shows that their Interests
tot only thelr'a but the wel'ato of the
abcror every wS etc have been zealously
watched , baltlod for at ever/ opportunity
and with a sncceiB which reflects honor
upon the state and her ublcht advccitu.
His retirement would gratify n ring o !
office sookcra and monopolist every
where , but to the rcauos the IOBH of hie
prestige and example ii so well under'
stood that the Republican bellovoi thai
when ho ceases to serve Nebraska in thi
senate it will bo his own voluntary ao
and deed.

Of the thirty railroad senators wh
were on duty ot the tlmo of the first de
