ACUsAN PRIMER FOR CONGRESS. AN excel
lent idea of the Cuban Junta Is that Of laying
on the desk of every member Of Congress a
miniature map Of the island of Cuba, contain
ing on its margin the length, breadth, square
miles and number Of acres In the island; Its
exports, imports, population, and SO forth.
With this primer In his hand every member
can ''speak by the book" about Cuba, many Of
whom probably have never stndied the geog-
raphy or resources Of the island. This will
save time in the discussion Of the important
question, and may cut many long speeches
short, as every man will be his own instructor.
II this plan OF education for members Of Con-
gress were adopted In other cases II would
save great deal Of time. II is an excellent
short cut to knowledge.

THE Work At HE'LL GATE.-Professor
Maillefert reports fair progress on his portion
of the work in clearing the Hell Gate channel
He has been laboring with nitro-g lycerine,
and gunpowder, and divers, and scow
grapplers since last August on Trays Reef,
Shelldrake and Pot rocks, with the following
results when he commenced operations there
vgas oniJ 18th Of twelve and half feet of
"' WY NSP"- -rr
water at low tide on Trays Reef Now there
is an average depth Of twenty feet. On
Shelldrake rock the channel has been increased
ffoma depth Of sixteen to twenty nine feet.
From the bris of rock blown up by four
hundred discharges of nitro-glycerine 1t
appears that forty scowloads, containing forty
five cubic yards each, have been successfully
grappled and carried off to be appropriated to
building docks and piers. This Is not bad
show for less than Eve months work. If the
other operations progress in the same ratio
we need not despair Of seeing He'll Gate clear
one Of these days.

SEEING NOTES. The Rev. Mr.. Frothing-
ham turns as savagely as pastor may on those
who accuse him of tampering with the right
interests Of society. He says that the greatest
enemies Of social order are his assailants, and
that the true crime against society is to 'judge
in advance Of justice" the assassin, seducer, &c.
Now in this very argument he admits the
whole case against him. He is the one who
judged IN advance q justice; for by gloss
ing over the act Of Richardson he magniied
the crime of Mcfarland. And when one
'.judges in advance Of justice" does 1t make
any difference whether he Is for or against
criminal? Is not the evil result the same2
The simple question is. then, Who began it2

ONE VAN DUsEN will give fifty thousand
dollars towards the organization Of a vigilance
committee, and this proves that the desperate
minded citizen is blind as q mole to the real
cause of all our trouble. Oh, Van Dusenl all
the mischief is due to money. 1t is because
the plumber Of the city is SO stupendous that
corruption and disagreement are SO great.
and now you want to add your little fifty thou
sand dollars to the difficulty. Do you not know
that the rogues Of this town will organize .
vigilance committee merely to get the money
you offer and hang you as the first rogue with
a rope purchased at your own expense2

A s'BULL RUN IN EARNEsT.-One Of the
correspondents of the London Times has been
prohibited from entering the Papal States.
We presume he was commissioned to write
about the Ecumenical Council. This action
Of the Pope throws HBull Rum Russell COM
pletely in the shade, for the gentleman now
aggrieved Is run off by an original, genuine
Bull of the real old stock, whereas Mr.. Russell,
in the moments Of his very highest elevation,
only ran before the Black Horse cavalry Of
Virginia. "Bull Run" Russell loses his tonsure
and conservation. He had them merely from
the hands of the late President Lincoln. The
''other man" of the London Times is ordained
by Plus the Ninth.

THE SCRANTON Coal COMPANY IN THE
WAY.-The last auction sale Of Scranton coal
put the price down little. Large orders
received at the mines in Pennsylvania pre-
vious to that sale were countermanded imme-
diately after 1t, and the organ of the miners
cries out for some ''power under the laws to
stop such sales, so that the price may be kept

Tho Observation-Disclosures Tragedy-Pabl
Opinion.


Opinion.
Public opinion is sometimes rash, often .mer-
CHESS, but in the long run it is almost always
just. In this case it has taken its usual course
1t was rash it was somewhat merciless in its
first ou,burst; but it is now settling down, and
as it settles down we feel that 1t is coming
nearer and nearer to truth and justice. From
all quarters and among all ranks and classes
ofthe people the sentiment which is loudly and
emphatically expressed is the same. We are
forgetting Richardson, ignoring his female
friend, and willingly leaving Mcfarland In the
hands Of the law. Our attention is being more
and more concentrated on principles and on
that class of principles to which mainly this
crime is to be traced. In public estimation
this marriage is as much to be condemned as
ham have both been heard in explanation Of
their conduct in the matter; but it is only
truth to say that their explanations have been
SO feeble that public opinion is down upon
them more than ever 1t Is our confident
opinion that before this affair is finally settled
the Beechers, the Frothnghams, the Greeleys,
the Calhouns and the rest will be heartily
ashamed Of themselves. From the clergymen,
particularly If they have been deceived, we
shall expect an open, honest and full confess
sion. We shall not be the last to forgive, but
for the present we hold them largely to blame.
1t is time that the dangerous ''isms" Of New
England were put down. This sad affair may
tend to open some dark eyes. :.

Spelling THE GAMR.-Rochefort was the
anti-climax Of the revolution that started with
such promise in Paris only few months ago.
He has put 1t down more effectively than the
Emperor could have done with fifty thousand
soldiers. His very nomination as Deputy,
his presence as foremost figure in the agita-
ton, warned away the agitators and revolu-
tionists by whom something might have been
done. They could not train in such COM
pany without loss Of prestige. If any Of our
own agitators, respectable by their talents,
should originate movement and should then
see it fall into the hands Of George Francis
Train they would have to give it up. So in
Paris. Rochefort is their George Francis.

Then he shut the door, put the
key in his pocket, sat down to his

which he sealed with black, and
then scribblcd all over large sheet
of paper headed in large letters.
"THIs is MY WILL"
Tho clerk followed all his move
