A SPLENDID METEOR.

magnificent meteor was seen this evening at
this place about twenty-five minutes before seven
O'Clock 1t came in sight about fifteen or eighteen
degrees below and south OF the zenith, aud passed
slowly to the west and disappeared about eight or
ten degrees from the horizon, due west

degrees OF lts disappearance, when 1t burst into
several large and small fragments. Each OF the
large fragments were larger than the largest ordi-
Diary meteors or shooting stars, and seemed to be

fragments appeared to occupy larger space than
the dish OF the moon but the meteor seemed smaller
before IL burst than the moons disc. IL was

THIEVES IN THE PoLIoE.-There is some
thing wrong in the appointment of members OF
the police force 1t is quite praiseworthy that
the rogue who recently secured an appoint
ment could only hold his place so long as he
was unknown; but it is to be regretted that he
could get the place. 1t makes it evident that
here, too, s'inhuence" is all that is necessary,
and equally evident that the influence which
is effective is of very bad character. Cap
tain Steers was ordered to inquire into mans
character. He delegated the duty, and the
person to whom he entrusted it made his in
quiries of those who sought the mans ap-
pointment, and of course the answer was "all
right" That it is insufficient is the least OBJ
lection that can be made to such scrutiny.

THE PARAGUAY Gun JOB.--We have never
doubted that the particular virulence Of hos
tility with which the Paraguay Washburn has
always regarded "the monster Lopez" had its
especial cause, and now the cause seems
likely to come out. 1t was o gun job. The
minister was not above trade In guns. The
result was unsatisfactory, and Lopez, instead Of
securing improved arms, for which he paid his
money, only secured bitter foe. One more
queer chapter for our diplomatic history.

Another Brooklyn Calamity.

Yesterday terrible calamity occurred in Fur
man street, Brooklyn, resulting in the loss Of
three lives, and another lesson in relation to the
prevention of loss of life by fire was given in
its most appalling form. 1t appears, however,
from the testimony elected before the Fire
Marshal that this disaster was to great extent
due to the nervousness or terror of the victims
when aroused early in the morning by the
alarm Of fire, and that at least one
other mode of egress was available besides
the window from which the family
took the fatal leap. Spite of this fact, though
it still impresses us with the conviction that
there is something radically defective in even
the present fire escape system, it is scarcely
to be expected that a family aroused with
the terrible cry Of fire ringing in their ears
will act deliberately, or, in fact, otherwise
than panic-stricken, and the establishment Of
Q means of escape from fire, available from
every part of threatened building, is what
seems to be needed. With such q system
established it would soon become familiar to
the occupants of every house, and in the
dreadful emergency they would at once have
recourse to it, and many lives might thereby
be saved.

The Great Questions for Consrsss-Ihe
Next Census One q Taeu.
As the time for the rsassenbling of Congress
draws nigh the country is more and more agi-
tated with the discussion Of the measures of
relief and Of general public interest expected
from Washington. The free traders ere very
active In every direction in behalf Of numerous
reductions of the tariff, the internal revenue
taxpayers expecta Tightening Of their burdens,
the financial and commercial interests Of the
country are hopeful Of some solid improve
ments in our financial system, bonds, banks
and currency; and these will be among the
leading subjects Of the coming session.
Among the first, however, we expect will
be the Cuban question, the annexation of
Dominica and of the whole island Of Hayti,
the closing settlements of Southern recon-
struction, the frauds brought to light in the
and the arrangements for the national census
of 1870.
In making the arrangements for this census
we presume there will be no great difficulty,
notwithstanding the mighty revolution in the
matter of African slavery which has been con-
summated since the last census of 1860. In
collecting and properly arranging the sta
tistics collected will lie the most important
work of this new census. In this view Mr..
Kennedy, the superintendent Of the census Of
1850, and mainly of that of 1860, is the man
of all men to superintend the work Of 1870.
He will understand thoroughly, from his init
mate experience in and knowledge of the work
in all it's details, how to exhibit in his statis-
tics the losses from the war Of oil kinds, and
the advantages practically resulting to the
Southern States from the changed condition Of
the Southern blacks, if any such advantages
are shown in the figures Of population, pro-
ducts, Improvements, profits, &c. We do not
know that Mr.. Kennedy intends to be an
applicant for the position of superintendent Of
this census. He may have become tired Of
the drudgery. 1t is enough for our purpose,
however, that he is the right man for the
place, and that his experience and knowledge,
twenty years Of education in the business, are
Invaluable for the important work, in COM
parative view, of the new census.

OUR MAIL ADvICEs FROM CUBA.--It is
curious to note the difference between the
information received by telegram and that
obtained through mail from the so-called Ever
Faithful Isle. The one would lead the reader
to suppose that the patriotism of the Cubans
was fast giving way to the influence Of the
Spaniards. Important victories and glorious
successes on the one hand and disastrous de-
feats and disaffection in the insurgent ranks on
the other appear almost daily. We have the
same kind of thing regarding South American
affairs, particularly Paraguay. The reading
public should therefore be cautious how they
receive this kind Of news; and as our cor
respondents in these places supply us with the
most authentic news on all topics, the readers
of the HERALD would do well to hesitate in
forming their judgment until they have looked
on both sides Of the picture. In many instances
telegraphc dispatches received here have
detailed state OF affairs which frequently our
correspondent news entirely contradicts. The
information we thus give in relation to the
publication Of news will, we have no doubt, be
appreciated by our readers, who desire to be
knowingly posted on events taking place.

TnE PARIS BANQUET TO THE ExTLRs. The
French people are determined to have their
demonstrations, and for that purpose have
arranged to give public banquet, on Decem-
Der G, to the returned exiles in Paris. They
see plainly that armed resistance to the reign
ing power is of little avail for the moment, and
therefore choose more peaceful methods of
expressing their objections to the existing
rsgime Some lively speeches will doubtless
be produced on the occasion, which will show
the Emperor pretty plainly what public opin-
ion Is.

above all others remarkable in this one point,
that whoever remembers sex in its practice or

THE ONoNDAGA GIANT.-Professor Boynton
is beginning to think, from experiments he has
made in the action of water upon gypsum,
that the Onondaga giant may not have been in
the hole from which he was excavated moro
than three hundred and seventy-one days;
and that he probably was placed in said hole
between two days; and the Professor, more
over, thinks he can point out the quarry from
which the giant was extracted. Should the
Professor be proved to be correct in his calcu-
lations from his experiments doubtless
he will be-the giant will have to come soon or
he will hardly pay expenses for trip down
the Hudson. If the parties getting him up
had put him in some old and not much visited
Indian mound, and had planted some good
sized trees over him, and had permitted them
to grow undisturbed for few years before un-
earthing him, they might have kept him going
as long as the individuals in the secret could
agree in the division of the profits of his
resurrection. But in travelling between two
days with such cumbersome customer 1t was
necessary, perhaps, to bury him in the first
place convenient for the digging Of a well.
THE INTERNATIONAL SoULLNa MATOH-AN
AMERICAN VIoroRY.-On Friday, the 18th
inst, the international sculling match between
Walter Brown, Of Portland, Me-, and J. II.
Sadler, London, came off at Newcastle-on-
Tyne. Brown won by two lengths. We are
therefore proud to record an American
victory, which, to q degree, makes amends for
the recent defeat of the Harvard boys in their
contest with the Oxfords. 1t will be remem-
bered that after the late sculling match on the
Thames Brown was knocked down by one OF
the London boatmen, which fact probably
accounts for the transfer of his match with
Sadler to the more impartial waters of the
Tyne.

TIE BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SoHooLs.-The
Catholics do not like the Protestant version,
the Protestants do not recognize the Catholic
version and the Jews repudate any version Of
the New Testament, the part of the Bible
which all Christians hold to be the fulilment
Of the law and the prophets. Shall all the ver-
sions be read to please all parties? Or shall
they all be excluded from the schools to avoid
offence to Protestants, Catholics, Jews or
infidels? That is tho question, and in New
York there are signs Of some trouble in settling
it-trouble which may possibly lead to reli-
gious division Of political parties. The old
Know Nothing elements, though disbanded
and dispersed, still survive, and are waiting
and watching for another opportunity to rise
