instinct or Reason 7 A Dog That Ao ice Cxeana and Spring Cbiaiten Ilia Master's Talet and the Baby's Nurpie Beads and Writes and Mules the Boast The lonj? mooted question whether the sa aaeitv oi animals is tie result of reason or imitinot; has never met with a solution satisfactory to disputants. The writer has no disposition to into an argument on the subject, nor haa he any desire to offers dfaquisiticn on the yexei question. Let the intelligent reader foiro an opinion from the following story Onedav.the writer founds young nouiui aog, evi dently a mixture of English greyhound and Irish terrier, wandering in the streets. The animal's face displayed unusual intelligence. Tt was taken home as aid soon endeared itself to the family, by remarkable exhibitions of Sagacity and It was his mister's custom, on entering the house of an evening, if intending to remain; to divest himself of coat aid boots, and put on a dressing gown and slippers whioh were kept in a1 room adjoining the sitting room, but if he was going out again this ohange was not made.

The dog speedily aiBOerned thiB habit, and acted accordingly. Seated, as he ctenerally was, on a ooair or soia, nis bright eyes watching every motion of persons in tho room, he soon learned to interpret his master's inten tions, and the instant the coat waa. removed ne wouia bring out the slippers, and aocompany his mistress on her errand for the dressing gown, but he never went for the slippers unless the soat was taken off. At this tune the dog was but Bix months old. His affection for each member of the household was evinced hi many ways, and wbb no leBB marked than his deeire to be treated on equal terms with everyone whom he honored by regarding.

He had his ohair at the dining table and his conduct there was regulated with the decorum that governs a well trained child. No insult affected him more than to offer him water iu any vessel but a glass tumbler fact, he would drink from nothing else, and he required the water fresh, iced in hot weather," or refused to drink it. At one time his meals were procured at a restaurant and taken in a peculiar manner. He would entor the kitchen, seat himself in front of the steam table on which the roast chicken was placed, bark until helped to some of his favorite dish, and no amount of coaxing could induce bim to partake of any other meats, howevor hungry ho might bo. After appeasing bis appotite with chicken, he wouid pay hia mute addresses to one of the cooks, who saved for him cold chocolate, and hiB desBert.was invariably ice cream, when in season, for which he appealed to the cashier, who had it in charge beneath his counter.

When less thau a year old he learned to say his pray ers, at observing a child in the family kneeling by ita mother for that purpose. At the request, "Dome say your prayers," he would rest his paws in his mistress's lap and hide his head between them, with all the seeming devotion of a human being. But ho also acquired a bad habit from a visitor, who was addicted to the use of i rofane language, and at the command "swear," he would growl out what no ono failed to understand as meaning it. It may not be amiss to Bay here that if any reader of the Eaolk doubts the truth of the incidents related, proofs in verinoat'on can be had at tho office. The dog had another habit whioh few animals, if any, (the writer haa aeen but one) have ever been taught.

He would sneeze whenever told to. He would also Bhed tears copiously When requested to ory. Delicate about his food, he always deolined Bait meats, ond, at one time, when in the country, whero fresh moats could not be obtained, he subsisted three days on paBtry, but ou tho fourth day he entered the house, having iu his mouth a chicken which ho had caught, and whioh he laid in the lap of the lady of the house, with a look that plain lysald: "Please cook thia for mo7" It waa dono, and on the next day a journey of twelve miles made to get him fresh meat. Satisfied with that, he made no fur ther raida on tho chickens. Not the leaBt singular of hiB acquirements were those of playing "tag" and "hido aud seek" with children.

His proficiency in tboBe games waa never excelled by any biped. He "spelled" words by barking for each letter, ond "pronouncod" them by an accented intona tion which Indicated his knowledge of the differenco. These are but a few of tho many exhibitions of intel ligence ho displayed. One more wsil show his judgment of human nature and conduct under trying cir oumBtanceB. Having strayed from his master oue eve ning he was chased by some boys who tried to seize him, and to avoid them, disliking their appearance and actions, he took refuge in a passing carriage in which were two gentlemen, where he growled fiercely at hia would be oaptors, confidently relying on the ocoupauts of tho carriage for protection, but the instant bra pur suers were out of sight, ho jumped to tho ground aud returned to the Bpot from which he had boon driven.

When lest In the streets, as he was many timed, he never wondered off, but resorted to the neareBt objec: high enough to afford a lookout, such as a stoop, box or hydrant, and Tpaticntly waited for the search heit.iew Lis master would make. At suoh times if any one approached with a view of coaxing or forcing him from his position, he would bite savagely although oraiiiiri ly he was cowardly, aud would run away at tho sight of a mouse even. His opinion of the iittlo proprieties in household mattors was very decided, and to none wbb it better knoVm thau to him if things were rmiuing out of thoir regular channel. His constant playmat! wsb a little girl, for whom ho entertained the greatest affection. For months ho had noticed lrer rotire to bed immediately after Baying her prayers, but one eve ning after performing that oeremoay, instead of going to her room, she sat down boaido her mother to study.

Tho dog was amazed. Tho prooeeding was uuuBual and beyond his comprehension. For a few moments he stared wonderingly at eaoh member' of tho family as though seeking for an explanation, and then fiercely attaoked the ohild, biting her limbs generally, and de stating only when Bhe had boen driven into bed, by the aide of which ho placed himself on guard to see that she remained there. Two attempts to get up met with an opposition from him that speedily induoed her to crawl back between the Bheets. From that time tho dog watohed with seeming intoroat for tho devotions of the evening, and at any hesitation of the child to comply with the regalar ouatom, he expreseed bis disapprobation by sullen growls and manifestations of renewing the attack which he had felt called upon to make when enforcing it.

Will the reader say the conclusions of thiBanfmai were mere instinct, or were they the deductioons of reason 7 THE GRIFFITH TESTIMONIAL. The long talked of testimonial tendered to Mr. Wm. N. Griffith, by prominent citizens, commemorative of Mr.

Griffith 'b entering into the dramatic profession, took place hut night, at the Academy of Music, bef ore a weU filled house. The programme waa can led out according to announcement with the single exception of the piano solo, by Mr. J. N. Partisan, who failed to pnt in an appearance for some reason, known only to himself.

Viotor Hugo's drama, "BuyBLia," waa presented last night by a oast mide up entirely of amateurs, with the single exception of Mr. Owen Marlowe, who played the part oi Don Casar de Xlazan. One commendable feature of the performance waa thia that the author's meaning was presented is full. If fault might be found with the manner of presentation, no complaint of superficiality oan be urged against it. Don Sallutle waa played by Mr.

Amos G. Torrey, with a preper appreciation of the manner of Don Sallutte was. But he gave his audience the picture of the man, rather than the man, and the grandee Don Salluste was a vengeful man anil an unscrupulous man, but he had been up in the oourts, and was a polished man of the most elaborately formal court in the world. Yet It was a vigorous performance, and left no room for doubt as to what Sallutte't purpose in life was. Don Caesar, by Mr.

Owen Marlowe, was an admirable piece of acting, easy and dashing, if somewhat angular and spirited. One of the best hits waa the performance of Prof. Boyle's Duke of A wa. To be sure, It was a slight part, but it was roundly filled uo and artistically presented. It is difficult to believe that Col.

Boyle has not had wide and long experience in amateur acting. Mr. Peters as Don Manuel, Mr. Walker bb Don Pedro, Mr. KeyeB as Don Cam po, were satlafaotary in email parts.

Mr. Griffiths playes the title role. AJae inr. Aorrey, ne too naa a proper conception, and like him left the audience in uo doubt bb to the author's intention. But unlike him, he presented the character with a lack of vigor rather than an excess.

The or mty jsias is a ronianuc and entirely improbable part, which the actor is justified in surrounding with tho air heroio. For some reason Mr. GritBth last night eeemed to put a oheok upon himself and restrain his desire to mount into the romantic This is true of the last scene where he comes to a fight with Don Salltute. We could havo wisueu to have seen a little more fire, and we could have stood some bombast in this scene. The final scene, however, with the queen was decidedly above the rest ot tne play.

Mrs. Fanny Foster, as the Queen, was admirable. She was at once dignified and tender, aud hor reading of her lines properly expressive. And Mrs. Gsylor, too, was more tnan gooa.

Bue wa exccUcnt as the Duchess. As a whole, the drama was well nerformed. At the conohuuon of the play Mr. John Clark, the basso 'profunda, appeared, and sang "Booked in the Cradle of tho Deep, accompanied upon in. piano by Mr.

William Clark. HiB magnificent voice and his excellent method were heard jo the best advantage, and the audience, with moat enthusiastic applause, demanded an encore. Mr. Clark responded with the "Heart Bowed Down," in a manner that again elicited the warmest applause. Thia was followed by tho faroe of "A Kiss in the Dark," in whioh appeared Mr.

E. Lamb. The reception accorded this gentleman was very enthusiastic, and it was some momenta before the play oould prooeed. It is a work of supererogation to commsnti Mr. Lamb to a Brooklyn audience, tie seomea to ou iu better humor than UBual last night, or else hia long absence from the Brooklyn stage made his appearance more welcome.

Mr. GritBth here appeared to moBt excellent advantage as Fran Fathom, playing the part with eaB6 and dash. Mra. Fanny Foster gave Mrs. Pet tfAofwa Jollity and abandon very pleasing.

Mrs. Griffith more than satisfactorily filled the part of Mary. The entertainment as an entirety was productive of much pleaaure. LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT. The large and elegant rooms of the Everett literary Association were well filled on Thursday evented by tha mombers and their friends, who had the HKtenlmr to an essay on "Edward Everett," written by Prof.

There were also various literary exercises by the members, prominent among whioh was an essay entitled "A Oritioiam oh Gerald Matsey'Blectvre 'Why Don't God Eill the and one on the "Hlatory of Anoient Babylon."

Early in the Winter, the Concert Grove House, under to Messrs: Osborne BfOOKiyn, was so far completed as to eHtail its acceptance irom we nimtnvtnTa bv the architects of the Park.

Two shelters of oedar and sassaf raas wood have been ereqted upon the borders, of the lake, parallel to the South lake drive, from whioh unobstructed viewa of the water, and distant features of the fars may oe uau, iind the remaining work required to nnisn mom wm oe done in the Spring. Two she lters, similar in design ana consnuouon to those at the Plaxa, have been placed at the entranoe at Franklin avenue and the Ooaey Island road. These are intended to afford a convenient waiting place for visitors at the Park, and are muoh used for this purpose. "The ornamental framework to support an awning of considerable extent is in course of construction.

The site for this will be ou the summit ef the Promenade or South lake drive, and will bo placed on the south side of the drive facing the lake. In connection with this awning shelter, under which convenient Beata will be arranged for visitors, it is designed to erect a smBll building for the convenience of the public. DBIVE8. But little work has been done upon the Park drives during the very limited maintenance fund at the disposal of tho Commissioners only permitting tne most superficial treatment. Ab a oonBeonenoe, the drives lack a unuorm aurtace, and are in many parts worn away to such an extent as to require at an early day the addition of ooneiaeraoie mattrial to rostore them to the oondition in which it is found to be economy to maintain them.

r. T. The construction ot mo aoutu gravel, a material made up of graveUy sand and loam, found iu the neighborhood 01 tne para, wa some extent an experiment In park driveB. But it has resulted bo satisfactorily in our casa as to render it doubtful if we shall ever have occasion to use any other than a similar material for renewing the surface of the Park drives. Indeed, if an ordinary care be taken to seoure rea sonably thorough surface drainage, (beyond the fact that itB wear may be, to somo extent, more rapid man a more homogeneous gravel), there need be no occasion to look for better material for constructing a class of roadways designed mainly for light travel, at least so long as the maintenance forces of the Park ahall re nuire eo economic an adjustment.

A settlement of the roadwayof the West drive at (ho point of crossing Eleventh avenue, ocoaoiened by the shrinking of tho underlying peat, has been repaired, nfl the original trrade of the road restored. Some additional excavation has been made on the branch tinve to riimu aveuue nuujiujfifuui uuw Anaratorv to its completion in the Spring. Tho nnmiileUt.il of the main drive to its full width aloug the westerly base of Lookout Hill has been tern oorarilv delayed to enable us to makeuse of a deposit nf sand desirable for building purpoaes. The roadway at the junolion of tho Wood ana urcese HiU drives, and along the Bast Lake drive to the main carriage concourse, was widened by abandoning the rido at these points, and adding it, together with a strip of ten feet on the westerly side, to the oiu roaa waV. This change was made in the Srring, and was found to be a very desirable one In view of the increaB of travel at tmspomi oi tne unve.

HIDE 8. The East Bide has been finished to its teminna, at tha Junction of tho East and concourse drives. The Neithermead drive is also finished. During the Fall the lake rldes which wereuaedaa 'art runs, have been restored to their proper use. The northeast ride has' been entirely oompleted from the Nerthermead Drive to the West Drive, near the old line of Thirteenth street.

Hie ride ts made of gravel one foot, in depth, the coarser layer being raked forward to form the base. Gutters of email stone are laid on either side, The width of the ride is twenty ioe, ana. ior a ran aiderable distance it runs adjaoent to and parallel v.itk the drive. With the exoeptiop of a small portion along the base of Lookout Hill, the rides contemplated In the design are completed. WALKS.

Tho WeBtdalc Walk has been extended from the pic nic woods, running generally parallel with the West Drive, turninn bv the cemetery, and connecting witn the walks near the Pools, then completing tne oirouitoi the Lone Meadow The walk connection with the Ninth street entrance has slso been graded and its Bupetstruoture completed. The Ambereill walk, and also the Esdale walk, irom the pools to the Ntithenn ad arches, were eriginaiiy formed of gravel. These were found to be unsatisfactory in bad weather, and very expenaive to maintain. and were accordingly surfaced with oonorete, with a satisf aotory reemt. A portion of the Westdale walk haa also Deen treatea in tho same mannar.

for similar reasons. Tho wants unfinished at the date of the last report, west of Clift ridge Bpan, have been completed by surfacing with tar concrete, The walk on the easterly Bide of Breeze Hill haa been with a cement pavement by tho Patent Steam Arti ficial Stone Comnanv. The walks ou the South Lake and West i.ano vis tricte have been all laid with oonorete pavements by the BcrimBhaw domnany. Bvans Company, and the Long Island Composite Asphalt Company respectively The walk on the west Bide of Lookout am nas oeeu finished to tho aita of the nronosed suspension bridge At all of the road crOBBings, a road step has been placed for the convenience of visitors in oarriages who may deBire to go upon the walks. A part of the walk on the Franklin avenue circle has been laid in cement of an ornamental pattern.

LAKES, POOLS. AND WATER CODItSBS, The clav used for Duddlinff the bottom and elopes of the large lake, and whioh was obtained from the deer paddock pool, has proved in the main satiBiaotory iui the nurnoBe. The amount of water lost by infiltration is smau, na thiB will no doubt substantially cease, as the flnoaut whioh ie washed from the roads through the drainage outlets la dononllen In the bottom. With the usual amount of rainfall for tha Summer season, it is believed the lake will reach its highest eBtabUshed level within the next or ensuing'season. The uniform maintenance of the level muat aepenu largely upon the supply of water to be obtained from tho park well, in view of the fact that during tne wriu erimonths the evaporation of water amounts to 500,060 tnulons dailv.

During the year nearly one hundred and sixty four million gallons of water were supplied from our well, of, which Bixty four million gallons wore pumped into our reservoir for ordinary purposes, and one hundred millions were pumped directly into tho lake to maintain a uniform level and to offset Iobb by infiltration or leakage and evaporation. The average daily requirement ior watering plantations and for drinking purposes, is about two hundred and twenty thousand gallons. From careful nTamlnation thia is believed to be in ex cess of actual requirements, and i due to loss on the Use of pipe forming the water distribution of the Park. These pipes are a combinaUon oi sneei iron in the form of a oylinder, and lined Jrith oemeat.The manner of forming opnnootions. to orMe mi imperfeot, and, as far as our past experience goes, will oa found to prove more expensive than if made of oast iron, by reason of the ronatantly developing defects, and leakage.

For anything but light pressure, it is hardly to be oommended. When used, the company should be required to keep it in order, as without their BkiUed labor, the delay and cost of repairing, renders it a ooBtly operation. MIGHT HAVE SEES WOESE.

At all events marriages have become sufficiently rare and marriage ties sufficiently brittle to make it incumbent upon the friends of wed look to do all in their power for its encourage ment. One of the most conspicuous advan taoes of the matrimonial state is to be found the protection given to children. In this country, as everybody knows, marriage is a purely civil contraot, and the good ef ects of the wedded state over.that of oonou binage are, therefore, of necessity, civil. Bearing this in mind, it becomes evident that whatever tends to decrease these oivil advan tages must tend to wipe Out marriage alto r. The Registrar of Vital Statistics on Thursday pointed out suoh a tendency to the Board of Health and urged them to legal action calculated to counteract it.

After saying that a great many of the ministers of the oity not only failed but positively deolined to make legal record with him of the marri ages by them effeoted, he mentioned a recent instance of contumacy in that direction whioh he thought should be made a test ease in the courts. The Registrar, taking utilitarian ground, says I desire that you call special attention of the Depart ment to this, as hardly a day passes but some person applies to this ureau for information in regard to some marriage, and, in many instances, no recoracan do found, which often gives the inquiring parties groat annoyance and trouble, especially when a rooord of this character is required in oases of disputed wille and claims for pensions. be. The advantages of registration, here point ed out, though not unimportant, are, our judgment, among the least which would result from it, if prpoperly admininistered. A moment's rejection must serve to convince any one that legal records of the kind in question are exactly the kind of things that serve to keep the marriage system intact.

Unless legal note be made of the act it is not clear what uso there oan be in the cere mony, since, as said Wore, the contract is a purely civil one. The oomplamt or tne Registrar is not a new one. In 1868 the Legislature of the State, leoognizing the extent and evil of this omission, passed a law making it incumbent upon the clergymen of all denominations to give account to the Registrarof Vital Statistics of every marriage celebrated by them. Like sev eral other excellent laws this one appears to have remained a dead letter on the books because no Health Board has shown a disposition to enforoe it. We are glad, however, to notice that our Health authorities, acting upon the suggestion of Dr.

Watts, have determined to mike Wm. P. Corbett's case a test of the whole matter. The counsel of the Board has b.ien instructed to prosecute that gentleman. In this connection it is proper to nohoe a previ ous statement by the Registrar to the offect that the Catholic clergy of the city are the most oonspicflous offenders.

They lead the opposition to the law, and contend that the effort to compel them to make returns is an effort to interfere with their religious beliefs. Holding, as they do, that marriage is no' proper respect a oivil matter, but altogether a religious ordi nance, subject, by right, to the religious powers they cannot recognize the State as in any respect a party to the transaction. Taking their cue from the few Protestants have assumed the same ground. The fallacy involved in this position is obvious Children become, by law, heirs to the es tates of their parents they are the legal heirs because they are the legal issue, flow 11 tne state cannot uomruimo what marriage is, how can it determine the standing of a legal heir or give foroe to the term "legal issue Clearly enough, if the state has nothing to do with marriage, it nothing to do with the law of inheritance if it has nothing to do with the law of in heritance it can have nothing to do with the transmission of property, because the right to all property (with but slight exception') is inherited. Logically, there fore, "civil government" is a term with out a meaning, if it does not imply the right of the State to define marriage and enforce the marriage law.

The State, having the right to enforce the marriage law, fact to make the marriage law, it must, as a matter of course, be possessed of power to soifcle upon forms to preoede and follow the ire mony. This registration of marriages is one of these forms, and exists, theref ore, upon the simplest basis of common se lse. When State and Church are joined, it is possible to hold the contrai yu notion with i ne consistency, although even then thought would detect an anomaly. If i. iar riage is wholly religious, and in noresjoot the concern of the State, it cannot be the duty of the State to compel a faithful curving out of the contract; if the State not, and the Church cannot, it is clear that the rite must rest upon the good pleasure of the parties that, in other words, we must have free love in everything but name.

The objection to the law in question among the Catholic clergy, however, rests upon no sounder basis than the antagonism exhibited by some of them to our public school system. It is altogether a thing nf alien birth, a plant that has been imported, but never grew in Amerioa. When the Catholic pulpit comes, as it undoubtedly will, to be under the direction of men born on this side of the Atlantio, men who learn that they are citizens before they are ohurchmen, and that with oivil and purely temporal matters, the State oan with perfeot safety be permitted to deal, we shall, an end to the biokerings concerning education, marriage and kindred subjects which now serve only to injure the church. The Catholic ohuroh has in his! ory distinguished itself for nothing more thai! its adaptibility to oircumstances it has boon both eclectic and elastio; forms have bcien sacrificed to central truth even oelebacy has been put aside when its enforcement would obviously have been fatal to the church, we doubt not that in America a similar adapti bility will be shown. The Board of Health demanding that marriages be registered are right, and the minister who declines to comnlv with the law is wrong.

Moreover, it does not appear that marriage is shorn of any of its religious solemnity by being encompassed with oivil safeguards. The civil act is in addition not in diminution of the religious one. The law should be enforced irrespective of ohurch or ohurchly pretensions; no man's religious rights are interfered with by measures that look to the protection of every man's civil rights. Colorado Law. There was a time when Texas so nearly mo.

nopolized the criminal record of the country as to entitle her, in the opinion of most peo ple, to be considered above a'l other places the outlaws' Paradise. The inhabitants were generally supposed to be prowling around each other's camps with a bowie knife in one hand and a whisky jug in the other, rather careless which hand a neighbor accepted on meeting; though, perhaps, a slight preference was given to the knife hand. But of late years the glory of Texas seems to have departed, not exaotly out of existence, but merely transplanted itself other territory; and if one may judge from the sort of news we generally receive from Colorado, one may safely conclude that the freebooters who have found Texas advancing too rapidly in civilization for the wholesome indulgence of their peculiar proclivities, must have under taken to found a second outlaws' Garden of Eden in Colorado. The last. news we have from that rerion is to the effect that a dis pute has existed for some time in regard to the" title to a certain main lode (of silver, we suppose.) at Georgetown, in that territory, People will be surprised to hear that this dispute has been submitted to suoh a superfluity in Colorado life, as a court.

But it is never theless true. How many hardy fellows "went "under" before the disputante appealed from the usual arbitration of the pistol to the unusual arbitration of the law, we are not informj ed; and. fpr of our faith in human natureat Is just asWdl. enough to know that when the powder gave out, they went to law apparently to BetflMheftsdrWrspWmsj Ordinarily, the party that hadtbelargest sup" ply of ammunition would hate won the oase supplied without in any way affeotmg the actual canvass The Committee thought that the law did not contemplate anything of that kind, and therefore permitted' the canvassers to sign the returns. In doing this the Committee in our judgment acted properly.

It is impossible to aoouse the Committee of partisanship in this matter, because the same ruling will apply to the Twenty fourth Ward oase, where there is a Democrat to be benefitted. Dwyer seeks to have a distriot thrown out in the Twenty fourth Ward, whioh, If admitted, will elect McKenny. Mr. Dwyer argues as Mullen did, and, of course, since Mullen was in error Dwyer must also be in error. Apart from men, the rule is a sound one.

The Sixteenth Ward contest is not, however, likely to end with the finding of the Committee. Judge Morris, oounsel far Mullen, proposes to take the oase into Court, where he hopes to defeat Petry by showing that Mullen was fraudulently counted out. The Judge, it is stated, is in possession of affidavits enough from citizens of the Fourth District to make out a dear oase for his client. We believe that Mullen was elected and that only by the most barefaced frauds the returns were falsified in favor of his opponent. In the Fourth Distriot, the ballots were not counted by the regular canvassers a Custom House man took the whole matter under charge, and in the interest of the Republicans "fixed" up the job.

The Sixteenth Ward is the stronghold of the Hon. Jacob Worth. The Spanish Dilemma. The conduct of the Madrid populace indicates pretty well which way the wind blows. That august person, General Seikles, whom Fortune has oast up on the shores of diplomacy like a dead whale, complains to our own Spanish mackerel, Mr.

Hamilton Fish, of the State Department, that he has been mobbed. If we remember the history of our Minister Extraordinary in Madrid at all accurately, it dawns upon us that to be mobbed has more than onoe before overtaken the mutinous hero of Gettysburg. But the canaille of Madrid, have, on this last occasion, not only mobbed Mr. Sickles, but have as well given oanso to Mr. Talmage and other frantic apostles of sensationalism to howl again for war as Mr.

Talmage recently howled in the Academy of Music Per haps we BhaU find it harder to for eive this provocation than any other of those offences against America which Spain seems bent on oommitting. If there be anything likely to divert one in the hebdomadal performances of Talmage, that diversionary power is swallowed up by the monotony of his style. It may be good, once in a whilo, to sup on roast partridge. Ten thousand messes a year of the same toothsome fowl, would turn the stomach of a rhinosceros. So an occasional flare up of Talmage and bis kind may be regarded with the mingled concern and amusement which attend the an nual pyrotechnics of the Glorious Fourth.

Put to have Talmage bawling for the moon all his days, and bawling so loudly as to interfere with the secular tranquility of the peo pie of Brooklyn, is to be under the thralldom of an inexpressible woe. Therefore it is with a melancholy prescience of sorrow to come that we view this fresh insult to the American flag this new stimulus to the frenzy of Talmage and those other dervishes who likewise howl. That flimsy political fabric which Seuor Castelar knows, in his inner consciousness to be as unlike a republican government as it is unlike the Kings' County Board of Super visors, evidently represents popular feeling imperfectly. Mr. Sumner and one or two other statesmen of the goody goody school, implore us to consider this Spanish foundling this little inanimate nuisance which the humanity of Europe only tolerates because i ts dissolution is merely a question of hours.

Other goody goody people protested agoinst the hanging of the lamented Captaiu Jack. Goody goody people have hampered every sensible action this Government ever took, and it is only a matter of course that public opinion is going to roll, like the car of Juggernaut, over the devotees of goodi ness, on its way to settle the present difficul ty with Spain. That difficulty is swelling in proportions. It seems, dearly enough, that the Spanish people is even more brutally ig norant than its most intimate acquaintances ever supposed. The bullfighters are shouting for war war with the piratical Amer icans, whose flag has crowded their own red and yellow ensign into the closest and sultriest of corners.

The bullfight ers do not comprehend the inactivity of Jouvelar. To them it is inexplicable that one stone should still be standing on another in New York. Have they not (50,000 jaun diced countrymen of their own roving mur derously over the face of Cuba, and panting for a tussle with the dyspeptic Yankees of this accursed Republic? Have they not some thirteen ships of war, orammed with dirty sailors and pompous officers of the bluest of blue blood, itching for a rub with the scanty blue jackets of our own lawless oo ra try? To Madrid all this seems marvelous. It is true that, between the Oarlist and the Radioal anvil, our and Mr. Sumner's Republican friends are diily flattening into panoakes.

But it is characteristic of your Spaniard that whilo ho ean understand defeat at the hands of his own bilious and blood thirstykind, he is perpetual ly scornful as to the whiter, and let it be said, cleaner Anglo Saxon race. The garlio scented volume of execration which frightened Sickles into telegraphing his dire strait in Madrid, expressed the sentiment of the Spanish race. Its blood is up blood, to be sure, of a thick and lazy quality, but yot Spanish blood, tiger blooa. butcher's blood. And now that the Spanish blood is up, who ever tries to hold back tho Spanish tiger from his onset, had better look out, lest He, in disappearing, only whet the appetite of that wildest of wild beasts.

For us the Spaniards have the profoundest contempt. They regard us as white livered cowards. They say, with infinitely more scornful emphasis, what Napoleon said of the English that we are a nation of shopkeep ers. They have leased the son in law of our Secretary of State. They feel that thev can, on a pinch, buy Mr.

Fish himself, outright. They know that Del amater will build them gunboats for hard cash, even if he discreetly subscribe fifty dollars of the profit to the cause of They understand that a war in which stealing will be small is not the kind of war our patriots feel much enthusiasm over, and they are convinced, as they are convinced of their creed, that they can wipe us off 'this oonti nent. Hence they are hungry for bloodshed and if Castelar try to check them, let him take coze of his head. The Spaniards in Cuba, the Peninsulars against whom the Cubans are in arms and who are practically separated from the home government one need not go to Havana to fathom their contempt for us. They menace us whenever they can catch our indifferent eye.

They harass our commerce, they outrage our consuls, they shoot our citizens, they wipe their CastiUan feet on our flag. Of course no sensible man clamors for war. No sensible man ever proposed suppressing the Indians for mere amusement. There is a graver and a deadlier import to the question of the hour. We cannot afford to tolerate the continuance of this festering ulcer almost within our borders.

If Spain desire to make war with us, we shall not be loth to pick up the gauntlet. But we do not insist on war. We see no necessity for war. Cuba has no government at this moment. Her condition is a perpetual menace to civilization.

She is a pest house, giving out mephitic vapors, and poisoning the adjacent air. It is this wo must suppress, Jfiven if saltpetre and steel are the only means of purifying the Spanish shambles, we must use them. If Spain consent to look on while we oreate a responsible government for cuoa wnion will guarantee the seourity of our own enormous interests on these seas, well and good. If, on the other hand, Spain should insist on obstructing the good work she is beth unable and unwilling to attempt herself, well and good also. Only in the latter case, Spain is likely to be amazed at the rapidity of her exit from this, hemisphere, which our fathers consecrated to a nobler use than tho butcheries of suoh brutes as Bur 1 jury tb find a verdict one way or the other, is to ask them, practically, to commit suicide and the chances of an early death are too frequent there to make that crime excusable, even aa a last resort.

The Becont State Election Flffuringr up. The Tribune, when Horace Greeley controlled its columns, guarded the Republican party from many a disappointment and humiliation by its habit of, understating, rather than overstating, the result of each reourring election, in which party principles were involved.

Both parties came in tima to regard the Tribune's election returns as reliable, and while everything else in the Tribune was bitterly partisan, its figures rarely had a party leaning. When the Tribune claimed success for its party, after receiving the returns, it was safe to accept its judgment. The Democrats are less fortunate in their central organ the World, for that journal's figuring is so peculiarly unfortunate, that its Arithmetic Man has become the butt of the press, and the aggravation of the Demooratio rank and file. The day after the late election in this State, the World "hung out its bannor," olaimod the State for the Democrats by alarge majority, and was so overjoyed by the result elsewhere, that it gave up figuring, and summed up the fate of i he Republican party bv avering that it had met its "Waterloo." After so great a victory it seemed almost superfluous to the World to estimate what was left of its political antagonists. In the interval between the election and the official coint, the World's "Arithmetic Man" finds ample occupation in gradually moderating his postelection enthusiasm in "letting himjolf down easily," as tho boys say.

The cold official figures of tho result of the late election in this State show that, on a very light vote, the Democrats elect the heau of their ticket by a majority of ten thousand six hundredand twenty one. Of the sii candidates for State officers the Republicans elect two the two endorsed by the Liberal Republicans. One of the remaining four candidates on the Democratic ticket was nominated as a Liberal Bepublioan, so that of the six candidates r.in ning on the Democratic ticket, five wore Democrats, and two of these were defeated. In other words, on a light vote and a eleotion, the Liberal Republicans cast' a): out seven thousand votes, and held the balance of power between the two parties. The Rep licans carry the Senate by two majority, 'and the Assembly by sixteen majority.

The decrease in the vote is largest in the Republican strongholds. St. Lawrence County, for instance, which usually gives about six thousand majority to the Republicans, this year gives about thirty five an dred. Alleghany County, usually good for three thousand, gives but about seventeen hundred. Duutohess County, whioh has been ReDublican for vears, was carried by the Democrats by a "majority of six hundred fifty four.

In the Democratic counties of Erie, Ulster, Queens and Kings, the Democrats fail to hold their own. Erie went over to the Republicans by over a thousand majority Ulster maintains its place in the Democratic columns by but two majority Queens, usually counted on for fifteen hundred, gives the Democrats but a little over three hundred, while Kings gives but forty one hundred majority for Willers, and of this majority the "Liberal Repub "licans" contributed about fifteen hundred votes, as is seen by the fact that Nichols, who did not receive the Liberal Republican en dorsement, carried this county by but about twenty six hundred majority. Wnile the State ticket did not do well here, the success of the local ticket is extraordin ary. Mr. Barre, the Democratic candidate for Register, sweeps the County by over nine thousand majority figures which show that thousands of Republicans manifested their discontent with the leadership of the Tliree Graces by knifing Dutcher.

Mr. Herman the Democratic candidate for County Clerk, has majority of seven thousand six hundred, whilo the majority for Mr. Hunter, for Mayor, within the city alone, is about the saue. Judge Gilbert oorries the county by the hand some majority of over five thousand seven hundred. Mr.

Midas, the Democratic candidate for Commissioner of Charities, running against a very strong man (Mr. Ryder), behind over three thousand his majority, while Mr. Fox, tho Democratic candidate for Supervisor at Largo, running against Mr. Jurgens, who was not deemed to be a strong candidate, has but about half of Mr. Herman's majority.

Here, if anywhere oa the ticket, the influence of the secret political religious societies was elt. 'W hile Jurgens is a foreign born oitizen, in the secret circular issued by the organization referred to, he is named as a member of the order of "U.A. While Mc. Fox is na tive born, if we mistake not, he has chosen to adhere, wo believe, to the more ancient branch of the Christian Church, and for this reason may be supposed to be exposed to the special enmity of the dark lantern" peo2le. The election in Kings County is remarkable mainly in the fact that the local Democratic candidates run so largely ahead of the State ticket of the same party.

Tho moral of the eleotion is this when the Democrats name good men, nomination is equivalent to elec tion. With such a local ticket next year as was successful this, the ascendency of the Democracy would not be seriously contested in Kings County. The Sixteenth TVard Contest. The AldoTmonic Committee on "Rules and Election Returns, met last night, and af ter hearing considerable discussion on the Sixteenth Ward oontest, practioally declared Petry, the Republican, elected over his "Dem ocratic competitor, Captain Mullen, by some forty votes. The point raised by the Captain was that the returns from the Third Ward having been sent in to the Board of Canvassers, unsigned, they were invalid, and could not be taken cognizance 01 mo oanvass.

Had this point been would have bsoa elected, beoause he had a majority in the other districts of the ward. Petry's counsel, however, contended that under a decision of Judgo Gilberts, it was the duty of the Committee to send the re turns back to the canvassers for their signatures. And putting the matter on the ground equity, Mi.
