Prof Falb did not predict exactly in vain.
He said that the worst earthquakes known In
latter days would happen at certain time
and in particular neighborhoOds, and they did
not. But the earthquakes did the next best
thing they happened at various times
and in many places, and with por-
tentous energy and singularity A multi
tude of them shocked the South Americans
who have the earthquakes, like the poor, al
ways with them. Then the mountains of Cam
Groom and Etna, and still, perhaps, Colima,
vomited wrath; and even after that the
tropic world had o. little see-sawing.
Now come the most peculiar manifestations
of all-actual shocks of earthquake in New
England, from Augusta in Maine down to
Boston,

A paragraph intended for this mornings
TRIBUNE, announcing the close of the season
at Jerome Park, was accidentally inserted IN
Yesterdays paper The mistake was obvious;
and we need only now call attention to the
fact that the steeple-chase will be run to-day,
and will, according to every indication, bring
the Autumn sports to brilliant and exciting
close. The course has been carefully con-
structed by Mr.. Wheatly, and will present all
the difficulties necessary to give zest to the
race Many of the best horses are entered for
the contest, and the desire of the members OF
the Club to make this last event of the year
the most memorable in its annals appears
likely to DO fully realized We reproduce
elsewhere, from The Spirit Of The Times, list
of the horses that are to take part In the
operations of the day.

DELIBERATE CONVICTIONS.

The me-dishonOred practice Of the pick
pocket who Justify cries "Stop Thief" in order
to divert attention from his own villalnies,
is once more illustrated by the course of cor
respondent of The Toronto Leader, who enter
tains from time to time the readers of that
usually somniferous sheet with letters which
may be intended as sprightly, but which really
are simply scandalous, concerning this city and
its institutions. From one of his latest abusive
contributions we extract the following compre-
hensive expression of opinion: at is my de-
"iberate conviction that in New-YOrk truly
A" virtuous woman is rarely to be met WITH
1t is our deliberate conviction" that crea-
ture who could write such sentence is
fair subject for Superintendent Ken
nedy to keep his eye on. The fellows
who pretend to form deliberate opin-
lions" of this sort are the very ones without
whose patronage our rum-shops and brothels
could not exist. They stand on the corners OF
streets and in front of hotels and places OF
amusement, and make insulting remarks about
every woman who passes; they nfest the street
cars and stages to such an extent that it has
become almost unsafe for respectable women,
unattended, to use them. The police and the
people have borne with these ins0lent male
factors so long that no lady who appears in
public on any occasion is sure that she
NAV not find in the Personal column
of one of the morning journals crit

an insulting request for an " interview" or her

than dozen other cities that we might name.
1t has its low dens of infamy and its gilded
halls of vice it has also hundred honest
men and virtuous women for every abandoned
character who walks its streets. Hundreds OF
thousands of honorable men and women live
quiet obscure lives, cheerfully perform
the work which comes to hand, and die
without ever seeing their names in the
newspapers, while nine-tenths Of our thieves
and other criminals are sure, sooner or later,
to come TO the surface on the police records or
in the Criminal Courts. The man who looks
only for vice and wickedness will have no
trouble in finding it in NewYork. but he who
seeks his companions outside of the slums OK
the city will never have any such deliberate
convictions" as those which the correspondent
of The Toronto Leader finds SO much satisfac-
ton in recording.

The famous Syllabus of errors published by
Pope Plus TX. in 1864 will probably occupy a
good deal of the attention Of the approaching
Council, and we accordingly reprint it this
morning. 1t is mistake to suppose, however,
as many have done, that there is any purpose
of erecting the eighty plantations of the Sylla-
bus into articles of faith. A slight examina-
ton of the document will show that the propo-
stions with which it concerns itself are not
such matters of doctrinal definition as can be
formulated into a creed. The Council will
probably be asked to give additional sanction
to this Papal catalogue of the errors of the day,
but not to take it into the confession of faith.

A coal-hOle in the sidewalk is public nui-
sance, and the proprietor of sidewalk coal
hole is responsible for damages to any person
who may fall through it, if the fail was not
the result of the PERSONS own negligence or
folly. A jury in this city has just awarded
$3.50 to man who fell through a coal-hole
and in whose case the Court delivered judg-
ment involving the principle set forth above
We are not dspleased to observe the readi-
ness with which judgment is now given by
Courts and juries in favor of persons who
suffer through the existence of public nuisances
of various sorts. In city like this, where so
much negligence and culpable carelessness may
constantly be witnessed, we know of no better
mode of reforming such things than by making
them expensive to the offending parties.

The Rev. w. II. II. Murray, whose book on
the Adirondacks has been the subject of a great
deal of excited criticism, appeals through us
to the public for a hearing One man is not
often called upon to defend whole wilder
ness Mr.. Muray's defense necessarily COW
ers a great deal of ground, but every step
of it must be interesting equally to bis accu-
sers and that body of amused inquirers
who have been ready to laugh either
at Mr.. Murray or his supposed victims. But
beyond these, both they and Mr.. Murray have
very earnest partisans, and to them especially
we commend his defense. 1t is very simple,
in the main. Mr.. Murray argues that the Adj
rondacks are wilderness, and in no respect
fashionable resort. People who went there
with immense baggage, and spOrted the habits
of Newport, or who cursed and swore and had
no patience with the everlasting Nature in
which Mr.. Murray delighted, and the condemned
and interminable wilderness of which he,
clergyman at that, was the advertiser, voted it
and him calamity and sham. Mr. Murray
hopes they will be forgiven, thinks that The
TRIBUNE letters about his territory were can
did and graphic, feels that the bOrder-land of
the hotels offers no conception of forest
which stretches for a hundred miles, reiterates
an ndiminished faith in his guides and con-

We found recently bald. unqualified state
ment travelling through the Western journals,
the purpOrt of which was that the wife of Mr..
w. c.. Gray Of Presumption, ILL.,, chad become
the mother of six children at a BIRTH" and
that mother and children were doing WELL"
We characterized the story as scientifically i'm
possible; and it now turns out that it was a
"joke" perpetrated by facetiOus clergyman,
the Rev. NJ. p. Armstrong, who has married q
widow to a widower with the "six children"
aforesaid. We do not know anything of the
religion of Presumption, ILL.,, but we fear that
the delicacies of social intercourse are less
assiduousy cultivated than they should be in
that region, since the clergymen there are in
the habit of indulging in coarse Jokes" and
of sending Joe Millerisms to the newspapers.
Exactness in medical science is of almost as
much value as exactness in theology. Now,
here was q statement, made without word of
explanation, which, if well-founded, was of i'm
portance and of no little importance to the
medical profession. There is nothing more en-
barrassing to the practitioner than cases OF
this kind. Half a century hence this wonder
full Presumption case might have been gravely
cited in the books of the profession. Some
would have believed, some would have disbe-
leved, but there it would have been to create
doubt and to provoke debate If the Rever-
end NJ. P. Armstrong of Presumption, ILL.,, will
please to take this common-sense view of the
subject, the next time he is tempted to be
funny, he may put martingale upon his

The foolish SANDER about Mr.. Washburne's

We are confident that he would not.

We congratulate the country on the defeat
of Andrew johnson as candidate for u. 5.
Senator. For Mr.. johnson personally. we care
nothing, but the history OF this Union is not
to be written backward, and our people cannot
afford to be entangled for six years in the
meshes of dead controversies. We want to go
forward with the work of Reconstruction and
the recementing of ties unwisely and unhap-
PLY ruptured; we want to soothe, and heal,
and reinvigorate; we want TO open mines, and
build factories, and improve water-pOwers, and
extend railroads, and bridge rivers; and Mr..
Johnsons mind is on none of these things, but
rather on raking open the embers OF dead
feuds and fruitless contentious. Wherefore,
we congratulate the whole country, but espe-
cially the South, on the non-election of An
drew Johnson to the Senate of the United
Statpa.
