Now do not say that this ia a bad use to make of tho money; what we say is that the use is made In a bad way. "Whatever sum of money tho public are disposed to give to any person or institution should be duly specified in the budget, so that every taxpayer may know what is going on. All revonue should go Into the city treasury, aud be there retained until takon out by public press.

It is, to say the least, not businesslike to be granting we do not know how much to the support of benevolent enterprises. If the sum is to be as it was last year, let us say so; or if $180,720, as it is this year, let this be specified but to go on, not knowing which figure will be reached, is not in accordance with common sense. In this connection there is a point which we commend to the attention of our temperance friends, to wit That so long as benevolent institutions have the sizo of their income determined by the magnitude of the liconse fees they are not likely to favor any considerable 1YOTICES.

RILEY, BlMriftx FINISlfEl The Inspection of the County Buildings. Tlie Supervisors go TJiroiiffh tftG Hospital and Almshouse Forlorn Children and Cheerless Women. The Supervisors concluded their inspection of the County Buildings yesterday, being aocorapauied through tho Almshouse and Ilia Hospital by Commls iioners Slilpman and Ryan. Not many members of tho Board caved to ace the biting breeze vthlch made itaelt ib keenly felt at Flatbuah as elsewhere, so that wheu Supervisor Egolf called his colleagues to order in Superintendent Burroughs' office, very limited group of conuty legislators surrounded him. It was resolved that the Hospital should be visited first, and thither the party according proceeded.

Dr. Sohenck, the superintendent, piloted thorn through the various wards, and Mr. Hugh Carboy, the steward, furnishod them with statistics as to the number of Inmates. A complete tour of the building having been made, Dr. Hcliencli was asked whether he had any complaints to make or any improvemontB to suggest.

To both questions ho responded iu the negative. Some steps, however, ho thought might appropriately be taken to add to the facilities for heating the building, or repair those already used. In many of the.wards the temperature was low, and considerable difficulty was experienced in this direction. As to supplies, lie had little to coninialn of. They were furnished with regularity, and were up to a very fair standard as to quality.

Supervisor Egolf, who had tasted the bread used in tho institution, thought it was a little sour. The aoctor didn't think it was and so expressed himself. He was asked whether the aaqulsitiou of additional land adjoining tha building by tho county would give him an opportunity for Weltering the condition of his patients. He did not think so, and was of the opinion that tho patients wore well cared for in all reBpeots. The Buporviaors thon wont into tho ea povatructuro, and after satisfying thomsotves that Clerk John A.

Murtha's accounts were not only straight but excellently kept, they proceeded to tho baby ward, Thoro are about ninety chlldrou In it, and there was not much in THEIB GENERAL APPEARANCE to suggest the idea that they aro haudlod with increasing care. Very many of the unfortunate juveniles are practically motherless, baring Leon abandoned, and a forlorn and comfortless look wss the prevailing characteristic. At a subsequent stage of the proceeding Commissioner Shlpinan was asked whether the matron performed her duties efhciently. The Commissioner evinced no desire to be explicit iu the answer. He oon tentod himself with a general negative, leaving his hearers to draw thoir own conclusions as to the precise character of the inefficiency.

So far as the building ie coucorned it is neatly kopt, wanting nothing but ventilation to endow it with the requisites for a very com fortable homo. Adjoining tho baby ward la the building which has probably done longer service for them than any other structure, In It are maintained a few old women, whose surroundings to put it mildly are anything but luxurious. Hats hold high carnival iu this dilapidated relic, and the wind whistles through the rooms with the moat delightful freedom. A wrinkled woman, who is said to have BBen a cBntury of Summers and who appears to have "experienced tho severity of twice that nuinbor of Winters, drew a light shawl more closely About her as a supervisor oponod tho door, and would have drawn noaror to the Bte. plpos had that been possible.

As it was, she made Bpa3modic movement as though pho thought somo of tho visitors had designs on the heating apparatus, and thou lapsed into apparent unoousclousues. The feeble attempts jiiado to patch up the hole in tho floor with zinc had been givon up iu dcpnir long ego, and the rickety threatened to leave their places with every gust wind. A sanguine Supervisor ventui'ud the suggestion that in eaae of tire tho inmates might bo got out with safety. Superintendent Burroughs said ho had never bson a believer in miracloB, and immediately changed tho subject. Au inspection of the male wing of tho Alrnsbmuo fully demonstrated tho fact that its inmates have muoU more to bo grutelui for so far as quarters are ooucoriiod, thau any othor class, of county wards.

They occupy A SVUSTAKTIAIj nUILOINO, where there can bo no dearth of ventilation and where thoro are no terrors except thoso which the bath tub possesses for them. The male wing noir afford shelter to as choice a solcction of Summer wanderers as ever found refuge iu an almshouse. Mv. Burroughs conducted his visitors into tho main hall, which was crowded by the county's guests. "These geutleuion," deferentially remarked the superintendent, "are in thoir Winter quartors, and are enjoying Iherasolvos amazingly.

I have a pile of stones ready for breaking, and in a day or two will suggest tho propriety of a little salutary excrcipe. Since the pile lia.j been deposited in the yard it has been regarded with general and ufl'ectionnte intorost. Tho erection of a gallows in front of the condonined prisoners' cell is a comparatively cheerful operation alongside that of adding to the pile. Thore are ominous murmurs of indignation meetings to bo held. What effect the bare suggestion ef stone breaking will haYO upon the refined organisms of some of my veteran boarders I shudder to think.

You should be here when the painful intelligence that a bsth Is in order is delicately conveyod to one of them. You can have no idea of what human fortitude will do until you see one of them nerve himself for tho trying ordeal. Little water and less work is the principal plank In their platform and any overtures In the direction of cleanliness or industry is simply revolting to them." If tho male paupers have nothing to complain about, the occupants of the female wing of the almshouse are not so enviably situated. A number of ohoerlesa looking women are housed in a basement which has nothing to reoommend it. It is damp and dreary, und the atmosphere in it was found to be intolerable.

Those who stood near tha door hurried out, and those who went further came vory near parting very suddenly with what thBy had received through the hospitality of tho Commissioners. 1 "I am aware," Bald Mr. Burroughs, apologetically, "that this Is no fit place for a human being, but having no other what am I to do Before the Supervisors departed tho Commissioners were givon an opportunity to deaorlbe the more pressing necessities of the institutions and it was arranged that a formal conference should be held a week from Monday. It will then be decided what recommendations shall be made to the Board of Supervisors, MR. KELLY'S DISPLACEMENT, Hew (lie Metropolitan Pros Accept It, A OOOD Ori'IOEB A BAD LEADER.

From the Now iTork Tribune. Tho retirement of John Kelly from the Controller Bhip of this city was efTectod yesterday by tho confir inaliou of Allan Campbell aj his successor. Ills term of office has lasted just hv years and they have been years of constant political turmoil, in which ho has boon a most prominent figure. It is, indeed, his misfortune that he has been compelled, by reason of Ills leadership of Tammany Hall, to figure as a financial officer of tho city government and a politician at tho same tlnio for, as might have been naturally anticipated, he has been more prominently presented to the public eye in the latter character than in the former. As politician, he has been conspicuous and demonstrative, even belligor out as Controller, retiring, and even modest.

What he has done as Controller Is little known or regarded and be will probably never get bis full credit for careful, conscientious and honest administration of the city's affairs. In the light of present information this credit must be unhesitatingly accorded him. His ohicf difhculfy, as wo have intimated, came from his relation to political parties and factions. He was unfortunate in both his national and local political relations. 5rany of hie troubles ho doubtless brought upon himself bnt even bis most captious opponents gave him tbe credit of believing that his frequent appearance iu opposition to his own party was dictated loss by selfish reasons thau by politicnl and personal principle.

His antagonism to Governor IiobinEon and Mr. Tilden was from a combination of both personal and political principle for he believed aB firmly that they wero assaulting the Tammnuy Hall party as that tiicy were attacking his porsonal favorites In the attempts to remove Uumbioton, ItoJUyand Loew. This is established by the fact even after tho removal of Gumbleton and the defoclion from his ranks of Iteilly and Loew to save thcnisclvoii, lie maintalucfl constantly losing fight in behalf of the rapidly weakening organization which he led. It is shown by the numerous blunders into which the maintenance of this partisan prinoiple led him for thiB, even more than his blind loyalty to hie friends, prpurpte(I tho repeated an? unpopular ronomlualioiiB of Smyth, Gumbletoii Shi others, which brought him defeat iu minis instances and nearly defeated his combined local parly in the last election. Mr.

Kelly has been an obstinate man ha has been domineering, always impatient, of advice and generally deaf to it. But in his obstinacy ho haB novor ceased to be loyal to hia friends, and in his imperiousnesB ho has always been unselfish. Politics has been no trade with him. He may have loved office for the sake of powor, but nover for tho spoils which personally fell to him; and his regret at having to lay down hie oflice will be greatly, if not wholly, mollified if it docs not also 'compel him to abdicate the Dictatorship of Tammany Hall. BOSS KELLY'S OPPORTUNITIES AND THE WAY HJS LOST THBM.

(rrom the New York Herald. Boss Kelly haB wantonly flung away groat opportunities for becoming an Important man both in local aud general politics. When he wae appointed city Controller four years ago hardly any Democratic politician seemed to have eo great a chance for rising to a position of commanding influence in his own party. He is by no means destitute of political talonto, and if he had not given play to his wrongheadod willfulness he might have been one of the most influential leaders of the Democratio party. He has forfeited his splendid opportunities by a course so erratlo, vulgar, brutal and Inconsiderate ae to repel and disgust honorable and decent men.

He has equally outraged the public sentiment of the Democratio party and tho sonse of propriety and politioal morals of the whole community. Had he abstained from his outrageous breaches of social decency he might, perhaps, hare saved himself from this annihilating defeat by tho resources of a political strategist. But when all the ruloa of docency are violated, when wanton and unfounded assaults are made on persona) character, tbe community rovoits against such exhibition! or the unscrupulous arrogance of a boss. Who can be safe if this Infuriate lioeuse of calumny can pasa without rebuke? If the city Installs a boas whose will cannot be resisted without a shower of filth aud calumny poured down upon all who oppose him, and nobody has oourago to stand up agaiUBt the delugo of mud, our municipal condition would be hopeless indeed. The Herald has voluntarily taken its share in this foul bespattering, and the result proves that it ia always eafe to etaod up for the goueral interest agalnBt the tilth and venom unscrupulous asBkllants.

What has Kelly gained by opening the sluices of slander against tboseWho oppose him? Let his overwhelming defeat yesterday furnish the answer. When Boss Kelly selected Mr. Grace as hi candidate for Mayor, the Herald pointed out the necessary effect of such a nomination. We had" nothing to tay against the personal character of Mr. Grace, but we foresaw what the event has proved, that such a nomination weakened the chances of General Hancook for carrying the State.

We expressed this opinion with the frankness which we practise on all occasions, and forthwith there was a ehowev of Kelly mud npon the HeraM. The city vote proved that we were right, and we dare Bay that no Democrat more deeply regretted than Mr, Grace that his unfortunate candidaey defeated the election of Haneock. But it was not Mr. Grace, but Boss Kelly, that waa responsible for this untoward result, UB. KELLY AS A P1BTY USaDKB, From tha New York Timet.

Were John Kelly a large minded, far seeing and resolutely honest man, small harm might have come of such an autocracy. Hut being the selfish, opinionated, truculent and tricky demagogue that is, no dopotiom more dangerous or cdious than dIb could well be Imagined. It may pe admitted that, had Kelly been a less disastrous failure as political leader, bad he been less intent on gratifying his personal animosities at the expense both of political prudence and personal decency his malign influence on tho conduct of publlo business in this city might have failed to compass hie rain. As it is, hie fall is as much of a benefit to tho Democratic party of the city and State as It is to the public Interests, and he will carry with him into the obseurlty whODco he spruug far less of affectionate regret than has followed the punishmont of men whose rascality he never tried to rival, but of whose powor of managing men he was equally incapable It uood not bo too hastily concluded that Mew York ie about to outer on a cycle of good gororument because of oorrunt and incapable encaa which brouoht about Kelt of a very complex and not cartiou charaoter. But it la a striking testimony to ing power of publlo opinion over the orrlngi of inualal! pal politics that from the mixed mass of motives dnt sf which yesterday's nominations were finally evolved we should have a result which is ao fairly satisfactory.

A DEFEAT WBTOH WAS TO HAVE BEEN EXrEOTED. From the New York World. Tho events whioh occurred at the City Hall yesterday are the logical though tardy outcome of that union of the better elements In both parties by whioh Mayor Cooper was elected. In 1878 the autf Tammnuy Democrat and the Kopnblicanu of New York united upon a local ticket made up of a Democratic Mayor, Republican and Democratic Aldermen and a Kexmblican District Attorney and City Judge. This tlckot was put in the field with tbe underetauding that tbe heads of tbe municipal department should bo eloctod from each party.

Controller Kolly at that time strenuously, not to Bay bitterly, opposed this union. His opposition doubtless was excused to himself by certain incidents and fcaturoa of the coalition which were undeniably open to the criticism of mucli cooler and more impartial persons than lie has ever shown himself to be. But he pressed it in a manner obnoxious to tho beBt public opinion ol both parlies, and as be has been occupied throughout his whole term of oft) co as Controller much more with lighting his Democratic opponents In this, coalition thau with demonstrating his own tttnesa to be trusted with power, or his own tldollty to tbe true interests either of the City of New York or of the Democratic party, he must bo a singularly purblind politician if the catastrophe of yesterday has overtaken him unawares. But this is a matter whioh interests absolutely nobody under heaven except Mr. Kelly himself.

ALL LOST WITH KELLY. From the Star Tammany Organ. With tho events of yesterday, the profound conviction must impress itself upon the minds of Democrats everywhere that Now York i no longem Democratic oity. It has been traded off aud handed over to the Republicans, body and soul I It will no longer roll up those magnificent majorities whioh redeemed the State and place it In tho van of the Democratic phalanx. THE KEJIHLE.

Reception Last Mtfht A Pleasanl Enter taliimoiitt The members of the Ramble Dramatic Society gave their third social reception last evening at the residence of Alexander Isaacs, No. 521 Honry street. These receptions are an original idea of tho Kemble. The entertainments comprise dancing, recitations and vocal and instrumental music, and promptly as the hand of the clock points to the hour of midnight, the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," warn the guests that tho evening which has been so pleuaantly spent hae ended. This iB an imperative rule.

The host of last evening Is the Vice President of tho society, and his hospitality was unbouudod. A large nuuibor of tho members and thoir guests were present. Flowera in artistic designs ornamented the tables and pieces, and the archway betweon the front and back parlor3 was festooned with red, white and blue. The mus'lo was furnished by C'on terno, and a repast was eerved. Dancing began shortly before nine o'clock, but at that time there wero scarcely enough couplea for two sets of the lanciei'B.

This, however, was merely an inauguration of the moro interesting part of tho programme, which occurred later iu the evening. By ton o'clock most of the guosts had arrived, and durlug a lull in the festivities the president of the society, Mr. G. De Cordova, announced that Mr. 12.

L. Cohen would recite "The Vagabonds." Mr. Cohen Rave the recitilion very cffectivaly and V. warmly applauded. MIhs Nelson then sang ihu May Flower," to tho delight of the audiouce.

Mr. C. 8. Withington kept his hoavars iu a continuous roar of laughter by reciting a burlesque, oration of Mark Antony over the body of Cnsar. Miss Sarah L.

Cohen, tho adopted daughter of the host of the ovening, recited "Tho Slaters." Miss Susie Monroe, of Boston, proved herself au admirable elocutionist. She iB about twenty years of age and of prepossessing appearance. Her first recitation waa Little Rocket's CbrislmsB." She also recitod "The Hide of Jennie McNeil," a parody upon "Sheridan's Hide." air. J. H.

KEXWARf) PHILP'S LKCTCJRK An Amilfins editions tiro Conducted How Pros Tile CirniMl Jury SyHtein Criticised. Kenvrnrd Philp delivered hi lecture entitled "Morey Antique," last night to an audience that filled about half of the parquet and dross circle of the Academy ol Muaio, and whioh comprised about four hundred people. A choice muIcal programme was provided previous to the lecture, and during the whole of the evening the audience was liberal iu its applause. Tbo ledum lasted nearly an hour, Mr. Philp appearing on the stage shortly before nino o'clock.

Ho was warmly greoted and at once proceeded to the consideration of his subject. THE LECTURE. An esteemed contemporary of ours, said Mr. Philp in opening his remarks, who, I think, is not many hundreds of yards away at tliirf mo lmml, happily applied Dr. JohnBou'H definition of patriotism to tho pursuit of lecturing.

Ho declared that lecturing was the last refuge of a scoundrel. I have said that this oynic happily apxilied thin pungent phrase became he did so long before 1 had any idoa of appearing on the platform a position for which my natural modesty and Incurable incompetency have uufitted me until this moment. Nor should I have given battle to, and overcome, these twin objections to appearing before you to night, but for the fact that a loug trial iB staring mo ia the face, and it Bcemed incumbent upou me as upon Mrs. Domboy in another celebrated case, to make au effort. It ia truo that hitherto I have, had no lawyers' foes to pay, and I should like to make this public acknowledgment of my indebtedness to General Pryor, Judgo Veodyr, Mr.

Charlos W. Brooke and Mr. Pleasants for their kiudly and valuable assistance to au innocent man. It having been dsclded that was to lucturc, tha question was upon what? Mau Must Go," suggested one. To this I objected, that the title was a libel upon a very quiet race.

That I knew nothing of the Chinese porsnnaiiy, save that reverend gentleman of my acquaintance had, for year, mado it. a cu duni to borrow $2 every Sunday morning from my iaundry mau, which sum he regularly paid back on tbe ensuing Saturday the Chinaman hrnily believing that this wa a religious custom of the country, without complying with whioh ho would infallibly lose the reverend gentleman's custom. This paucity of information, however, weighed nothing with my manager. He declared to me that if I would but lecture in a clean shirt stamped on the bosom as having been laundered at a certain establishment, he knew of AN ENTKRPRISING CHINAMAN who would tako ten tickets. To his utter astonishment I rejected too offor, and decided that "Melicau MiiBt Go" would not do.

"Things I Would Like To Know" was ner.t suggested, and after a caucus with gentlemanly bill posters as to whether the iiuo was not too loug, the title was dropped. Mr. Philp went on to state the troubles he encountered in aelocting a nub ject, and tliou said that although lhcro was no absolute necessity for him to lecture, yet ho considered it a good plan, inasmuch as there wae no chance of his being heard in his own defense in the courts, ulthough ho had applied for immediate trial, Ho continued A number of newspapers, the best known of whioh ia the yew York A'm. had for months been lu tho daily habit of stigmatizing General Garfield as a perjurer and a Dribe taker when I was arrested for writing au editorial article in which he was called a liar. (With that mention of tho name of our next Prosldout, all political allusion disappears from thiB address.) That article was written in tho ordinary course of my business as an editorial writer, and lu pursuanco of information given to me by my ofhoial superiors.

That information declared that a letter written by a celebrated man, and now known as the Moray letter, had been received, nnd that because the disclosures of opinion made in it were damaging to him, he had denied writing it. It also declared that a body of his ofliclal frieudB, charged with tho care of his interests, had accepted the denial and agreod to otlck to tho lis. For writing that article, based upon that information, I wasarreated aud upon the oath of two persona of this city tht the handwriting of tho Morey letter resembled my own, I waa held to await the action of the Grand Jury. That letter NBVER MET MY EYE until after its publication I took the word of tho publisher of the paper as to its reception at the office, and tiiko it still. For taking his word I was arrested and dragged into court, while all oror the country I was displayed In miliums of placards aud thousands of newspapers as a forger.

But if the Bame circumstances were to occur to morrow I see no leason, as a nowspapor writor. why I should not take his word again, and act upon it in preclpoly the Bamc wny If I wrote the Morey letter, or know that anybody other than the person whose name was signed to it had written it, and then wrote the article called "Lying and Sticking to It," I ought to go to jail. But if I wrote the editorial iu good faith I ought not, That i my position. It is not, however, the position of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, to whoso kindly attention to tbe details of his profession and to whose assiduity as a committing magistrate I am indebted for somo columns of excellent rsriflipg. Judge Davis eayn thai tne Morey letter be proved a forgery, whether I knew anything or nothing of the fact, my guilt as a crlmiual li'ueler is established.

Mr, Philp wont on to describe what he termed "that pretty legal fiction called bail," and characterized it as "pretty tough," sayinp that in the interest of all American citizens, the fact that $20,000 surety was required whou $5,000 was tho nominal sum, was a legal fiction that ought to be exploded. But, perhaps tho most absurd foature of tho case, ho said, and of all cases where arrested men are committed for trial, is tho action of that Bolemn humbug, the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury sat upon my case for two weeks. Day after day I saw in the papers that my indictment was being pressed. It occurred to me that I would liko to tell the Grand Jury what I knew about the case, and I wrote that body a letter, stating that I waa willing and anxious to summoned before it in my own interest.

I received this reply Union Club, Fifth av, akp TwEKiv nnsT st, November 29. 188B. Kenward Philp, 192 Fleet place, Rrooklgn 6ir In reply to your letter of the 2Gth addressed to me, I beg to say that your communication will be laid before the Grand Jury at its session tomorrow morning (Tuesday). Kespectrully yours, Oliver K. King, Foreman of tbe Grand Jury, What do you suppose was the fluBwer of that august body? These twenty four respectables refused my application.

Why 7 Because it was against the law No. Because, to grant it would conflict with the interests of Justice 1 No. Bnt they aid it was "unusual Now, did you ever hear of A MORE INFAMOUSLY OLD FOGY IDEA in your life? This couple of dozen of men who, doubtless, regarded themselves as so many SoIomonB Solo men, perhaps, would be better this body of legal middle men, who dorive their power from tradition of the darkest kind, sitting, clothed with more that mages tetial powers. In a closet, refused to hear a man, or any of bis witnesses, in hla own defense, because it was "unusual." Well, I don't bolieve it will be unusual long, for tho American people must, perforce, see that a body that giveB bo burlesque an exouse for doing a plain aet of justice oan have no real place in their polity. If to ay a thing 1b unusual was always to (ay it must not be, there would be to day no newspapers, no ballot box, no school house and no Republic And while an innocent man pleads for a mere ebance to be heard before he is branded before hi fellow men a a oriminal and that ebance Is denied him because to allow It would be unusual, I say the denial is ungenerous, unmanly, un American and unjust.

It is time this oumbrous institution, tho Grand Jury, were awept away. It has no plao in our system of government. It I opposed to tbe genius of our Institution. It is the lintal descendant of the Inquisition an irresponsible, arbitrary body handed down to ue from the time when it was not unusual to bore holes in men' ear to mako them com fee's to crime which they did not commit. So long a the institution of the Grand Jury exists, I say: "God help the poor wretches who have no money to pay oouniel and NO FRIENDS TO.

FIND BAIL." The Grand Jury hear but one tide ef the case, and which Bide many an innocent man now languishing in jail, torn from his home aud family, know to his sorrow. Ladle and gentlemen, I have spoken at some length of my own oas because I know it illustrates a great wrong. Many a man coma up to me in a kindly way since I was arrested and ha said "Well, Kenward, you are the best advertised man in the country." I tell you I do not like the kind of advertisement that displaye me to my wife and obildren and to my father and mother four thousand miles away a a forger. I know, end hereby publicly charge, that the men who tried to swear away my liberty were intrusted with no less a sum than fifty thousand dollar by a partisan political body, to be used in prosecuting me and securing a conviction against the facte. The money was given to Mr.

George Bliss. I know that from the day when I was arrested until to day until the moment when I came in at that door disreputable detectives havo sneaked after me and skulked about my house night and day. That i sort of advertisement I do notlike. Nor would you, any one of you, like it wore you as I am and aa I now deolare to you upou my hon or honor bright, as Ingersoll saysboth innocent and ignorant of the crime with which I stoud charged, Loud applause. ajaaiaHHepHBpBBHanBliHa deed, is everything properly analyzed ana regarded.

A drop of water is a suggestion of tho vast powers that keep it from flying asunder into its constituent gases, while the ice that cools the midsummer lemonade contains a treatise on natural philosophy. The tingling of one's ears in suoh a wintry blast as yostor day's is Nature's hint to open them to her secrets, and the brief salutation, "Isn't it cold?" which was made many millions of times in twenty four hours, was a summary of movements and conditions whose vastuess can Bcarcely be conceived. Coal IttniiUff Disasters. It seems only a few days since the news came of a terrible colliery accident in Wales, in whioh more than one hundred unfortunate minors were buried or burned alive. Even more recently an accidont in Pennsylvania and an explosion in a Nova Scotia pit slew scores upon scores moro, and now again we learn of the horrors of an explosion in a pit of extraordinary depth.

Tho number of tho killed is happily not quite as large as was at first apprehended, but it is large enough to horrify and Bhock. A list of miners who had been killed in the dangerous work of obtaining coal during the year 1880 would, we fear, be ft long one, and contain many more thau a thousand names. Such is the price wo pay to nature lor the enjoyment of her blessings. After all it can be compared only to a war without truce or quarter, in which intelligence is gradually winning, but the struggle is a fierce one and the casualties warn us that tho enemy must not be despised. It is inevitable that some must fall, that wo must be bruised and battered if we expect conquest.

It may not be consoling to the widows and opiums to reflect that the price of coal is so many lives a year, with the market rising as tho shafts descend deeper, but such is the case. Every year makes English coal more inaccessible and increases the danger of exhuming it. The Coffee Failures. It has boon pointed out that the failure of the firm of Arnold coffee importers, could not, under any ciroumstanoes, be inter preted into an unfavorable indication of tho state of trade. These gentlemen were engaged In a speculation.

They had invested large sums of money in coffee, in tho hope that by locking it up seouvely aud thus diminishing the coffee supply of tho country they could obtain a high profit upon it. The undertaking was illegitimate and failed roally bocauss the market was easier than they anticipated, Thoir failure has involved another firm engaged in the coffee importing business. This is not surprising, nor is it discouraging. The fall of one large tree in the forest brings down with it such of itB neighbors as are entangled in its branches. But business confidence is not shaken nor the prosperity of legitimate commerce impaired in the slightest degree.

It is worth noticing, that the failure of Arnold Co. has affeot ed prices in England so that two nations drink their morning beverage moro complacently for the miscarriage of the corner. The fact that most interests the consuming world is tho recognition of a third and most important element in the relation of supply and demand. These two conditions constitute only two thirds of trade the other one is the element of interception. So long as the power of intercepting supply according to demand is exercised without limit, so long is tho baianoe of trade abnormal, The interest of society is to restrict and minimize intorcep tion, and that is by no means out of the domain of law.

The welfare of the community is of more account than the welfare of ono individual at the expense of the community. By and by the corner of to day will be regarded as one of the crudities of our civilization. Surf Avenue. Mr. Culver, in discontinuing his opposition lo tho opening of Surf avenue, has done a sensible thing.

To have persisted in tho opposition would have irritated tho public without stopping the work, and certainly without doing him any personal good. By carrying out his agreement he will commend himself to the favor of tho public, aud can hardly fail to increase his trade. With Surf avenue opened Coney Island as a whole will be at the service of tho people as it has never been. Prom one extremity to the other there will be an open highway, which must greatly enhance the attractions of tho whole domain, while giving new life to the western part of it, in which Mr. Culver is as much interested as any other one man.

The time is probably not remote when, by a cross cut from Fourth avenue, it will be possible to make a complete circuit of the Island, so that setting out from the heart of Brooklyn, by way of Fourth avenue, carriages may proceed along the ocean beaoh to tho Boulevard, aud thence returning to the city, make a journey of about twenty miles over what will be the finest continuous drive on this continent, Hon. Richard W. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy, has telegraphed to M. de Lesseps his acceptance of the chairmanship of the committee to be formed to represent the American stockholders in the Panama Canal Company. When the intelligence that the position had been offered him was made public it elicited a general approval, to which the Secretary's determination shows that he was not indifferent.

He is credited with possessing that special knowledge of the requirements of the trust which exactly fits him to discharge it, and in these days no higher compliment could be paid any official. If Mr. Sherman and Mr. Evarts were now to give some token of their intention to retire from the Cabinet, the embarrassment of the President elect might be sensibly diminished. The President of the New York Produce Exchange complains to tho Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington of the nnsatisfac tory situation in which the statistics of the natuial butter export are placed, on account of the loose manner of clearing other substances as butter.

Perhaps there is a method in this looseness which the President of the Produce. Exchange does not recognize. If we fell into the honest habit of exporting nothing as butter except what was actually butter, and disregarded our advantages for evolving an article that looks like butter from fat, wo should oripple a profitable industry by substituting sentiment for thrift. The tree is known by its fruit, and these are some of the fruits of the tree of bossism Servility, loss of independence, distrust, jealousy, intrigue, disregard of public sentiment, forfeiture of self respect, repression of all manly utterance, abdication of the right of frao speech, intolerance of difference of opinion and craven submission where there should bo nothing but determined and courageous resistance. Such a tree is fit only to be cut down and cast into the tlatne.

Not only does the Tammany boss suffer the disappointment of losing a position of profit and power, which, until within a few days, had confidently oxpected to retain, but superadded to that is the humiliation of being succeeded by a man whom he has long bitterly antagonized politically and done his best to destroy. There aro some people who understand Mr. John Kelly's charactor thoroughly, and there are a great many moro who do not. Those who do not will find a multitude of reasons for his downfall but those who do will generally agree in the opinion that it was his own pigheadeduess, chiefly, that killed him. The President is reported as having been vra ablo to make up his mind aB to what would be an appropriate disposition of United States District Attorney Woodford.

That is indeed a question tho solution of whioh would 6eem to require an unusual amount of intellectual elasticity. It was an easy and natural step to pass from a consideration of the exploits of the bull that broke looso in the Tammany china shop yesterday to a consideration of the excellence of Jersey heifers, andMr. Tilden very gracefully took it. Perhaps General Butler will now admit that what he calls the jackass power of the public press has furnished an instance of its usefulness which should reconcile oven peripatetic statesmen to its existence. There is nothing better calculatod to enlist the interest of a philosophic mind than the automatic spasms of a political corpse.

The Polar bears in Central Park frolicked and cried for Joy yesterday because of the Intense cold. Their cage which Btands In an exposed and open position had been liberally saturated with fresh water which had frozen hard, and on thla bed of ice they lay down and rolled and rubbed themselves seemingly intent upon getting all the cold they could possibly out of the ice and fierce blaBts that swept through their cages.

Teu degrees mors of cold would make their happiness icteoBe and lead them to think that they were again iu Greenland. The Congressional Committee on the York town Centennial and the comniiBBionB appointed by tho governors of the States held a conference in Washington yesterday, and referred tbe arrangement of a detailed plan to sub committees.

The Public Health Association, in session hi New Orleans, passed resolutions, yesterday, to have investigated tho cause of diphtheria and frame a law regarding compulsory vacillation and contagloua dla capes.

Ooneral Giant was offered the chairmanship of tbo Amerioan branch of the proposed Isthmus Canal Company by M. De Lossops, at a salary of 525,000 francs.

Ho declined tho offor, being unwilling to oonnect himself with a project, which he feared would prove a failure. Secretary Thompson hae accepted the position.

One hundred and ninety memhere partook of tha annual dinnor at Earle'e Hotel last ovening. Bowie, Dash A dealers in coffee, at No. Pearl street, Now York, suspended payment yesterday with liabilities of nearly $1,500,000.

Tho failure was directly a conequcucc of the death of O. G. Kimball, of Boston, on Saturday, anil the failure of B. O. Arnold on Tuesday last.

Tho liabilities include ondorsomonts of O. G. Kimball's noto to tbe amount of 8330,000. The uotes ova not secured, but it la expected that the firm will pay in full. The assets of the firm consist mostly of coffee, and a largo amount is bold it is said, on joint account with O.

G. Kimball. The firm of Bowie, Dash was founded under tha name of Scott Wiener thirty years ago. In 1871 Mr. Dash oamo into intimate business relations with B.

G. Arnold, and at ono time the syndicate, which iucludeJ P. Kimball's firm in Boston, controlled millions of dollars worth of coffee. A meeting of the creditors of the firm will be called for next week. Large amounts of coffee are temporarily locked up through these failure, and there is a better demand for the available stock.

Nothing could be more in the romancer's vein." The Commercial Advertiser says: "The romance is delightful, original and full of grace.

27 PARK PLACK, NEW YORK. TEMPLE FAIK. TO BE HELD IN THE TEMPLE (FORMERLY THE RINK), Clermont av, between Myrtle and Willoiigbby. DECEMBER 14. 15.

10. 17 AND 18. OP1CN FROM 2 TO 10 P. M. The object ot tho Fair is to give the people an opportunity to help the people in paying the $31,000 debt on TUB PEOPLE'S CHURCH.

Five years ago, Deoember 187S, on tho day our Fair opens, tho Centennial Baptist Church was organized in the Clinton Avenue Chapel. Led by Providcnoo, and blessed by God with the favor of tha people, wa era now in possession of prouerty, in the heart of one ot the best distriots iu Brooklyn, that cost S127.0O0. We owe $34,000. The Tern, pie, formerly the Rink, is built of brick, 300 feet in length and 125 feet wide. The lecture room is as lare aa many entire churches, while its main audience room, capsule of seating 5,000 people, offers a Sabbath home to the multitude thronging this great world centre, which in capacity and convenience is not surpassed.

"The building," said Dr. MacArthur, "is well lightod, well ventilated and in every wa; well arranged. It was a great thing to rescue uch a building from the uses to whioh it was often put, and to conseorate it to a People's Church, in which the glorious gospel should be preached, in its simplicity and power, to rioh and poor alike." During the first year of our worthiDing in this place over $18,000 have been raised, and used in defraying the expenses of tho ohanges made, in the purchase of the great organ, and in promoting the work of the ohuroh. Friends of God and humanity, we expect to do greater and better work in the yeaT to come. Your patronage is solioiced.

rja80 j5 Lambera Chas A Itowlandson Ditmara John McDonald Alex Schultz Otto Uqwo John ycuSii Wood Geo The Topics of Interest In the Religious Press. What Is Said on Personal Righteousness. "Kerealed Malism" The Struggle in Ireland The Punishment of Criminals. Tho English Burials Bills The Lottery Crusade, Etc. The Christian at Work decries the hnbit people havo of rhapsodizing over "the glory of the church," and suggests the focalizing of such light and making it flash out in Individ ual lives.

Personal uprightness, in a word, is what professing Christians need to seek, and tbe well being and glory of the church will follow. It Is nice to nbiue by your neighbor's light, and be at no expense yourself, and that la what some In tbe church would liko to do. Bnt St. Paul had no such idea In mind when he wrote tho fourth chapter of Ephe sians. Ho speaks of "lowliness," "meekuesfl," "long Buffering," "love," "true holiueBO," "the new man," aud we are to put off "tho old man," "lying," "corrupt communication," "bitterness," "wrath," "anger," "clamor," "evil speaking," "malice." That i what is needed personal righteousness.

Somo people seem willing to groan themselves hoarse about righteousness when the cry should be, "Make me a better man, a bolter woman." REVEALED MALISM. Dev. Dr. nail, in the Observer, iu a discussion on "Revealed Malism," a title wantiug in clearness, deal with the idea of evil in tl plan of oteation and rejeeta the doctrine of the pessimists. He say If one 1b minded, through any cherished perversity of view, not to allow what is obviously good in nature as an adequate set off to the apparently bad, it is impossible but that ho should bo a peSBimist.

And his own premises will drive him up to one of two conclu elona either, with somo modern blasphemors, that there is no God at all or elso, with others, that creation it so defective, or evil, that only au evil being could have created it. The writer does uot argue tho case, but solaces himself with the assertion that tho Bible freely, frankly and without disguise Bpoaks of the sad and misorablo state of our raco, but tho explanations it gives of tho existing slate of things, itB first cause, and tho divine account aud sanation of it is satisfying to Christians, and Bhould keep them safe from pessimism. Revelation teachoa them tho great science of God's moral government, tho greatest of all sclenceB in tho progress of which sin and its many attendant evils are sulTercd. THE WYOLIFME CELEBRATION. Tho Examiner rejoices ovor the success of the Wycliffe ouniveraary celebration in Now York last week, and congratulates Christian poopli ou this latest evidence of the fact that Obristiunity not, na has been frequently alleged, losing its hold on tho world.

It adds It quite safe to say that no audience oqual in culture, wealth and eocial power to the one then aahwu bled has been seou within thoso walls in many a day. Every speaker expressed, In some iorm or ollior, tho eoutiment that tho Bible is the cornerstone of American liberty, aud each time the sentiment was cxprossod the walls rang with applause. When infidelity can gather a similar assemblage, that shall give equally hearty applause to ittf negations, thoro may be some ground for believing that Christianity and the are losing ground. Until we Beo such a thing, let ua not be frightoued by the wild assertions sometime made, without shadow of proof. THE STRUGGLE IN IRELAND.

The Tablet, iu a long editorial ou Ihu present trouble lu Ireland, is jubilant over the effective way in which the peasants are harassing tho enemy, aud Bays that with prudence, fortitude and perseverance ho cannot fail In this Btrugglo. This organ disapproves of nuy resort to violence, Baying that it would bo worse than folly, It would bo a crime To fane up arum would be to throw away all tho advantages gulned and to give violory to the onomy. The hot headed persona v. ho talk of distributing muskets and fitriliinx a blow for Irish itidopendeuco at tho present juncture may be honoBt in thoir patriotic enthusi aum, but, certainly, they aro imprudent leaders, who are only too well doing tho work of the Irish landlords aud of the English Government. PUNISHMENT FOR CRIMWaLB.

Tho Christian Intelligencer indorses Mr. Bergh's views in regard to tho puniBhmout of crime doors. It will be remembered that at a recent meeting hold in New York, to advocate librarleB and echoolK for tbe incarcerated classes, Mr. Bergh denounced tho custom of loading murdovorawith flowora and delicacies, and the habit of feodiug and providing for criminals lu aucb a way aa to make mon commit crimo to be seat to these ooinfortablo publio hotels, Tho tntclligsnccr opprovos hie viows, and thinks that Mr. Bergh's suggestion, that tho bastinado be revived for certain crinius, is well worth consideration, on tho ground that puniBhmont Bhould be as absolutely efficacious andleterront as possible, aud that if it oan be shown that the scourge docs so work upon the outer and inner man aliko, it has the argumeut on its side.

THE BURIALS BILL. The devotes some of its spaca to the Burials bill, which has now become a law in England, and, it is needless to ssy, it condemns it. The churchyards of England have been lu the possession of the church for three centuries, and they are hers by common aud by statute law. The Churchman looks upon the law. therefore, as one that despoiis the church of her possessions and her rights.

Parliament overrides the vested rights of the church, and permits the burial of dissenters in the cemeteries. This does not confiscate the property, but takes from tho church the right use it. The Churchman says further: It does not disturb the tenure of the proporty it is still in the church, and she it still responsible forita care and liiaiutcuancc, r.s in casos Bhe was the purchas But owing to her connection with tho State, which in in thti band of hor enemies, phe must Bbare the use of tho property with tho disinters she must allow in ktouiuU Bh has consecrated Bervicee aud rites whimi oiVoud her coiiBcieuco and her taste. This is what the Burials hill docH, and sho protests against it, not only a a present wrong aud robbery, but as an omen of greater ovils which may come. It i little likely that thuy who do not hesitate to defraud her of the right to uo what is her own will reiiiae.

when urged by tho necessities of party, to rob hor of tho proporty itpelf. Now they covet her churchyards in due time thoy will strive to possess her beautiful churches. THE LOTTEBY CRUSADE. The Christian I'nion wlshos to know if criminal law are made for tho protection or puniBhnient of offenders, and oalls attention to the fact that during the latter part of November tho police ol Now York arrested nearly a hundred men charged with dealing iu lottery tickets, and that they wero in nearly overy instance released for want of sufheieut evidence agaiUBt them. The Union says that if, as is alleged, the law is bo framed as to make it impossible that the police force in a three days' effort should produce uo lawful evidence of so notorious a fact sb the sale of lottery tickets in New York City, it ehould bo amended.

Tho newspapers that publish advertisements of lotteries como in for their share of condemnation, and he Union pertinently inquires why noma representative publisher of lottery advertisements is not sent to jail in token that hereafter the law will bo enforcod If the roform means auytuing It can reach these offenders and tho suppression of advertisements would go far to kill tho trade. The artlclo is suggestive aud worth perusal. NOTES.

LETTER FROM DR. FO'IVTOiV. Not Anatliema, but Fidelity. To the. Jlditnr of the.

tlrooktyn Kaylc In your arraignment of myself for referring in my pulpit to tho "new departure of Rev. Goorge F. Pentecost," you acouse me of many thinga of which I am not guilty, and negloct to speak of the ono reason which impellod mo to preach thiB sormou, and which compels me to reply to your strictures, Fidelity to my Lord aud Saviour Joins Christ. In a letter published iu tbe papers I road Mr, Pontecost'B words regarding hiB beilof that Jesus Christ was ImmorBed, and that the Apostles praoticed immersion, yet that he was ready to adopt another mode now in vogue, because it pleased mon, or suited tha convenience of men. Ou this I commontod iu my pulpit, as it was my duty.

I Bald then what I say now, that Jesus Christ Is master, that If the apostles practiced immersion and if my was immersed to "fulfill all righteousnoss," that ended tho discussion. That Mr. Pentecost was under obligations to obey Jesus Christ as is everybody else, and that 11 the churoh oalllng him could assent to his statement and rooeive him as a pastor, they owed it to themselves to drop off the error which had fettered Christendom for centuries to come into the liberty wherewith Christ made his people free and Btnnd with us in this world fight against sin and for tbe truth. This is the extent of my offending. Here I havo stood ever since my childhood; for this reason I opposed, and do oppose open oommuutouism so oalled, which is, lu fact, an open baptism.

I oppose it in the Baptist Church, and out of it, believing as yon do, that an open communionist is uuharassed, and cad go anywhere, led not by this spirit of truth, but by inclination or by interest aa I said in the sermon, which I should be glad to have you print, and which I may print, if the press continues to misstate my position, for gratuitous circulation. Say what you will, faith of value. It helps to believe. A man whose life is written all over with "No matter what you bow, cookie or ohess 1b as good as wheat," and who practices it, may get on lor a time In Brooklyn, but In the loug'run will fail to find employment by those who wish to garner harvests. The Lord Jeaua prayed that we all might but be one.

This la Christ's purpose One in the truth. One for the truth. This has been my purpose ever inco I knew Christ. Hence, when I se a sin I smite it. When I find a dtroliotion in myself, I confess It and repent of it and start again, aud when I see brethren going wrong I aek them to go right, and ao I preached my sermon aud stand for it.

The need of this hour, In my opinion, is men who believe in Christ and stand for Him. The Lord ean get on without any of us, but Ue ought not to be compelled to get on without an honest faith which brings forth fruit in an honest and fearless proclamation of tne truth a It is believed. It Is not essential that we pleas men or obtain the favor of our good papers or able editors. This may be impossible. Wo ought to be tiue, and if we keep God' favor wo must be true.

Since I came into the Temple, formerly the Rink, a wealthy gentleman of this oity said to me "If you will loosen up on tha communion question and make your place free to all, we will pay thi debt on your bouse of wortbip." My reply was, "I am at work for the people. Would you have me betray tha truth and bo mislead them at the outset of my work 7" He replied "No. Preach What you. believe, and afterward vtBlted our place, spoke iu a letter of bio da light at what he saw, and sent his check to help on thla work. There is need iu this world for some one to tend for the truth as they see It and believe it.

Now Mr. Ponteoost laid: "On furthor investigation I am latlsflcd I wbb wrong a a Baptist, you wero right a Congregatlonalist; hence I go to you." I would have aid hla eye must be deceived but God help blm, he mean to please Christ but when be sayB he was right as a Baptist in claiming that Christ wis Immersed, then I say he ought to have staid where God put him and helped us briug thia world to th knowledge of tha truth. And here I reBt and remain. Justin D. Fuirov.

Ho was as impatient of opposition from the press as he was of antagonism on the part ef his individual retainers. He was not so foolish as to Imagine that he could crush the newspapers which opposed him, but he fancied he could defy thom. and get along without them.

lie attributed his first defeat as a local leader to the iufluenoc of tho press. He did not accept his discomfiture as a lesson he regarded the opposition of the newspapers to his methods and to his candidates as a personal attack upon himself, and he endeavored to resent it in that spirit. To this end, he organized what might termed a newspaper Byndioate, made up of himself and his more wealthy adherents, aud he obtained control of both a morning and an afternoon newspaper organ." A. wiser mfoi might onsily have foreseen what was sura to follow from thin adventure If ho had left the press of Now York to itself he might, in thr rivalries of parties, newspapers and individuals, have eoiintod upon a full and more than a fair share of journalistic support. As soon as Mr.

Kolly got into the newspaper business on his own account and risk, he took the most effective method possible to crystalize nyaiust him tho opposition of the self supporting journals of the Metropolis. His morning orgau oame into competition with one of the ablest and most aggressive journals in New York, and business rivalry was added at onoo to the other elements of opposition. It was impossible; that the Star should hold its owu against tho Sun, even if iu all things It started on terms of equality but it could accomplish enough to excite opposition. The Sun has for it main purpose the business of making a newspaper acceptable to the constituency to which it appeals. The main purpose of tho Sti' was to uphold the fortunes of Mr.

Kelly as a political Boss. Its columns wore devoted day attar day to dreary eulogies on its owner: to explanations of his conduct aud to attacks upon his foes. This was all very interesting reading for the Boss, but it had rery little attraction for anybody else. The Tammany evening oryan the ffjpvss contrived for a time to keep the purposes of its owners subordinate, but when the severe pinch came, and the sway of the Boss was in real danger, it had to subordinate its legitimate business to that iu which thtae owners were mainly interested. Necessarily, in dealing with a political boss, the newspaper has to deal with an individual after nil.

Mr. Kelly seemed to think that this justified him in naiug his newspapers in assail iujj the private lives of his newspaper opponents. This intensified the character of Mr. Kelly's newspapers as mere personal organs, while it added little to their interest, for the private lives of men. in whom the public has only a very remote and indirect concern, excite, after all, bnt a very circumscribed curiosity.

While Mr. Kelly's newspaper agents did not help their employer by thoir in any direction, they succeeded iu enlarging opposition against the methods of the Boss and against the Boss rsoually. The personal attack made upon the proprietor of the Iff mid was a public scandal, in so far as it could be forced upon public atten tion. The youthful escapades of that gentle man excite but a languid interest outside of a very limited circle. Challenging antagonism, as tho responsible conductor of ft great newspaper always must, the publication of anything known to his discredit is to be expected, sooner or later.

But as Boon as the story is told, like exploded powder, it cannot be used again. The proprietor of the Herald is, in a certain sense, under obligation to Mr. Kelly. If it were not for him he. would, perhaps, be under threats of expos tire of early follies, as the great statesman, Lord Soiuers, complained that he was, long after tha buowh of ftge began to fall and when, as he said, he had been assigued by his physicians to 'flannel and water gruel Among the stories circulated by Mr.

Kelly's organs for the past few days, in their endeavor to avert his overthrow, was one to the effect that the proprietor of the HtruM authorized, before he left for Europe, the expenditure of seventy five thousand dollars, if that sum could be used, to secure the confirmation of a successor to Mr. Kelly by the Board of Aldermen. Probably, the report is de ssrving of significance only as indicating the bitterness of the opposition Mr. Kelly's newspaper organs were conscious of being largely instrumental in creating. The lTtrnliTi campaign against the Boss in New York was short, sharp and bitter, and it looks as if it wore decisive.

The favor of a powerful newspaper is a great aid to a public man so long as it appears to be disiuteresi' and fairiy earned. Tho only public man such a newspaper cannot help, is the man who is responsible; for its I conduct. When the political Boss courts the opposition ownership of a newspaper is certain to excite, iu addition to that which he is sure, to ehulhnge apart from it, his days are numbered. Tho business of conducting newspapers is not without its attractions. But those whose success in it is great'.

st must be content to go to their graves with antipathies and antagonisms which other men have no occasion to challenge. When Mr. Kelly challenged 111010, he Bet a limit to his reign as Boss, and it was briefer than either his friends or foes anticipated. TIio ICxclne Dcimri incut. By tho report of the Excise Department, published in the Eaoi.e last night, it appeals that we have licensed saloons in this city, for which during the past year a revenue of $180,720 was derived.

As compared with the preceding year, this shows an increased revenue and fewer saloons. In 187!) the receipts were 9117, from 2,70 1 saloons. This change is accounted for by an exercise by the Commissioners of their power to grade the saloons, the license rate being determined by the grade. In the first grade the fee is $100, in the second in the third and in the fourth In was the highest price exacted for license, while for the year just closed wj find 240 places required to puy loo each. The tendency thus shown to raise the fee and lessen the number of saloons will meet with the approbation of whoever is acquainted with what is most distinctly evil in the liquor trafflo.

The problem is to get the trade out of the hands of persons who are without self respect into the hands of mm who arc good citizens, who conform to the aw, who will not tolerate criminals in their houses, and who cater to a trade thut is spoiled by the presence of drunkards. It has long been clear to the Eagle that the advocates of temperance could do more for the advancement of their cause by strengthening this tendency than by any legislation which harasses decent and indecent dealers alike. The course which General Jourdan and his asso oiateg are pursuing leads unmistakably to the stablishment of order and the rooting out of the resorts which foster intemper Mice among the working classes. It is not to be forgotten that there are hundreds of liquor dealers who are quite as much fcpposod to drunkenness as any temperance adtocate can possibly be. They thank no man for drinking to excess nt their bar, and not a few of them refuse to entertain in any way those who come to them under tho influence of liquor.

By co operating with liquor dealers of this class, of whom the late John J. Russell wan an excellent type, and by encouraging the commissioners to keep on as they are going, great improvement may be affected. There is one change that ought to be made. The revenue derived from those licenses does not find Its way to the treasury. By a series of laws it Is intercepted on its way to the troasury and distributed to various funds and institutions.

A oertain percentage goes to the police fund; I reduction of the number of saloons, since by bo doing they would lessen their incomes. In ether words, under the existing system thoy have a pecuniary interest in multiplying the places where strong drink is sold. "sect's Talk About the Weather." There arc, it may bo assumed, few subjects of conversation which rival in popularity the much abused weather. Every day brings forth its own weather, and its own set of observations. To the person of limited ideas, of nervous habit and polite aspirations, it is the never failing substitute for silenoe.

And yet, occupying as it docs the attention of the great mass of the world, it has enjoyed less wisdom in the remarks it has produced since, man became an intelligent being, than any other. In spite of this fact, the science of meteorology is one of the most interesting, moat abstruse and most far reaching that mankind is required to study. Of late years it has begun to be developed iu a systematic way, and we have now reached this satisfactory point at least that we realize that the wind does not blow whore it listeth, but that the storm aud calm, the Winter frost aud the Summer heats, the vernal influence of April and May, the snow crystals Of December and January, equally with the ripening suns of July and AuguHt, all obey on law which exerts itself in oountless forms. Vv'hen the thermometer drops from temperate heat to zero iu a few hours wo know now that it is not an accident, aud we have traced the effect to its approximate cause, aud can calculate the day and the hour when a polar current which strikes Manitoba or Labrador, will break upon our own habitations. In other words, wo know that there is no meteorological phenomenon which has not its antecedent causes, and have been able vaguely to understand what those causes are.

Yesterday was an exceedingly cold day, the coldest in two years. The fall of temperature was announced, and preparations were made for it. It is known that Winters and Hummers vary in temperature, that certain periods show averages greatly differing from one another, that these periods taken in groups constitute still other periods, precisely as tho satellite, ystents form one solar system, many solar systems form a stellar system, aud that these groups of systems of worlds revolve round given points which are again but fragments, until the mind is lost in the immensity of their operations. The world is covered with the vestiges of several cycles of intense cold, when alternately the northern and southern hemispheres have been sheeted for long periods in ice. How many glacial periods the world has kuown we cannot ascertain, but traces of four or five have been found.

Their occurrence in traced to interesting astronomical phenomena, namely, the ohange in form of the earth's orbit, which, at one time, say every ODD years, becomes a most eccentric ellipse, while again in the reactionary period, like our own, gradually resumes an almost circular form. Meantime, the pitch of tho earth's axis goes through a continual defloction in almost corresponding periods, so that sometimes the northorn hemisphere is turned from the sun just when the oarth is farthest from tho heat, giving luminary, and three times as far as it is at presont. Hence, for that hemisphere is reserved an intensity of cold that we cannot conceive, wiping out every form and quality of life and grinding beneath it moving ioe mountains even the frozen vestiges of life. And so it has gone on for ages immeasurable and inconceivable. This we may call woather on the largest scale.

Then, again, we have still another and smaller period of weather. Perhaps, though it is hardly better than guess work, the immediate cause of lowering temperature is the movement of the Arctic ice fields. What reg ulates the currents of tho polar seas It is rash to state positively, but it is known that the earth is a great globular magnet charged with electricity, aud that the sun round which it moves may be compared to a tremendous battery. This is shown by experience as well ai analogy. When great disturbances of the sun's surface occur, and flames 50,000 miles high rear their licrids and sway aud bend like stalks of grass iu a terrestrial hurricane, then the magnetic needle tells tho scientific gazer that the electric conditions of our earth are sympathetically disturbed.

These conditions change the earthly currents of air aud tho laboratory of the polar regions is in active operation. The solar storms are found by experience to rage at stated intervals, and always at and after the minor suu of our wjrtt in. the great planet Jupiter has been pay im: his stated visit to the sun, or, in astronom ical terms, is at his perihelion, aud is retreat ing on his orbit into darkness aud space. if i The buff colored spot upon his surface, which has been discussed so widely, was noticed ft few nights ago to change its appearance, thus indicating violent disturbances on bis surface, while at the same time brilliant Northern lights danced over the horizon of our little world, whilo the sun itself continues to be in a state of agitation. It may be stated parenthetically that before the next perihelion Professor Bell, who has been working upon his photophonc, by means of whioh he can transmit sound along a ray of light, will probably have perfected this instrument, so as to hear the actual commotion upon the solar surface.

His experiments so far, while they have not yielded very great results have encouraged him to persevere. We see in these phenomena how the whole of our little community of planets are excited when the great member mnkes his regular visit to court. These majestic movements react upon ourselves by disturbing the conditions which regulate temperature, fill the granaries and cider barrels in the Fall, and the ice houses in the Winter, and clothi the fur aud wool bearing animals in extra overcoats for our especial comfort and compensation. It may be supposed then that our weather is made for us by the unvarying machinery of the universe. It is, almost, but even in this we have a little share.

Man himself is slowly and of course only in the minutest degree influencing climate. Every city ha builds, every column aud edifice he constructs, affects tho position of the centre of the earth's gravity, and still he goes on, slowly upreariug the monuments of civilization in a limited area. Even now he is contemplating the restoration of millions of tons of water to the dried ocean bed of the Sahara, and endeavoring to estimate the climatic offects of this daring enterprise. For, let water cover the great sandy reflector of the sun's rays, will he not cut off so much of the atmosphcrio heat and supply us with a blanket of increased moisture, by exposing an increased area of evaporation At the same time he is taking out of tho bowels of the earth and releasing into our atmosphere the latent heat of ages he ii cutting down foreBts and reducing tho rainfall by reducing tho moisture of the air, and with every fire at whioh he warms himself ia discharging back the carbonic acid gas which fed the luxuriantjforests of tho earth's earlier youth. All these acts tend to modify climate, while countless other influences are at work to alter conditions.

They may be insignificant, but the adjustment of foroee in nature is so delicate that as any lecturing ohemist will show, it requires very little alteration of the relation between tho oxygon and nitrogen of our atmosphere to kindle it into eombustion. Regarded, then, as the sensible result of operations and enorgies whioh are in constant aotivity around us, tho weather becomes one of the most interesting of subjects. It is an.
