ACCIDENTS ON RAILROADS. We have heard
that accidents happen in the best regulated
families, but were not aware that this was also
true OF railroads Now we know that roads
that are perfect in all respects are the only
ones on which accidents occur, and that disas-
ters occur, indeed, in the exact degree in
which the roads are excellent. In future the
happening of an accident must be taken as
prineo .facie evidence that road Is all right.
For further particulars see report Of coroner's
inquest into the last catastrophe.

FATAL RIOTS IN IIELAND.-The city of
Londonderry, the seat of the first English
plantation" in Ireland, was the scene yester-
day of fearful party and religious faction
riot-one Of the lasting curses Of that island.
Catholics and Orangemen met in armed colli-
sion; the police charged both, two men being
killed and several wounded. The disturbance
became fearful, and quiet was not restored
until the town was occupied by military. Eng
land has observed the diride et impera system
of government in Londonderry for centuries,
and is now reaping the fruits.

SORRY TO HEAR IT.-That the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs have no intention of
making summer reconnaissance of st. Do
mingo and the other islands of the Gulf OF
Mexico. We are sorry because we think that
such visit would result 10 the acquisition of
the yellow part of ST. Domingo, and that this
would be good diplomatic flank movement
on the black part and on all the neighboring
islands

ANOTHER LAW IN THE wAY.--Grant finds
law most troublesome thing Scarcely has
the difficulty with his desired Secretary of the
Treasury passed out of thought than another
law is found to interfere with another appoint
ment. His recently appointed Governor of
New Mexico cannot be installed on account of
the provisions Of the law against rebels hold
ing Office

Qualifying THE PLEASURE. 1t would seem
that, though life in onr city hotels has been
found so pleasant that large numbers of citi-
zens permanently board there, the pleasure Is
not without alloy, in the fact that valuables are
thus exposed in no common degree to the
dangers of robbery. One operator has just
been arrested whose many robberies OF jew
/ elry have been of two and three thousand
| dollars worth each time.

Here is what the Mayor says may be done
if the Legislature will accord justice to this
city in the matter Of appropriation, and so
make Improvement possible :--''Under such
justice our river fronts would be patterned
after the Thames embankments; the Park could
be converted into plaza; Fifth avenue, from
Washington square to the Central Park, might
be covered with concrete in order to afford a
safe and comparatively noiseless carriage
thoroughfare; our wretched cobblestone pave
ments could be covered with concrete; Sixth
avenue would be cut through from Minetta lane
to West Broadway; First and Second avenues
might be opened to Chatham square; suspen-
sion bridges could be constructed over the
channels each side Of Blackwells Island, with
a centre arch resting on the Island, so as to
allow railway trains and teams from Long
Island entrance into the city; the sidewalk in
Fulton street adjoining st. Paurs Church could
be thrown into the roadway for vehicular
relief and Ann street opened" Here is a
vision! What the answer of the party men
will be we can all conceive. IF all the money
is spent in improving the city what will i'm
prove their fortunes?

THE HERALD IN EGSrT.-3ome short tirre
since there appeared in these columns an
editorial on ramie, the new textile. As the
result of this article We lave had sommunioa-
ton from Cairo iu the neane Of several pachas,
asking information as to where the seed can
be obtained. The soil Of Egypt, SO favorable
TO the cultivation. Of cotson, Offers many advan-
tages for the cultivation Of namis. The nav
textile there may yet be grest success. We
mention the circumstance to show what word
in the HERALD can accomplish, even in the
valley of the Nile. The Herald in fact, is
rapidly becoming the worlds newspaper.

MORE SHREws.-IIalf dozen scolding
women held convention at Washington TO
reform themselves out Of petticoats, and one Of
them made speech reciting the reasons why
Grant ought to make her member of his
Cabinet. One of the reasons was that she
was assistant editor on the paper that first
bore the Grant banner to the people of the
State of New York

THE Gas BILL The Gas ball has passed
the Assembly, which is good piece of pro-
gress. Should it 60 through the Senate our
citizens, under lie provisions, will evidently
have some rights. The Board of Examiners
will, however, bo wen worked body, as, in
addition 10 their regular duties in examination,
they ara the tribunal for determining points in
dispute between the companies and consumers.

ONE OF THE JoBs.-Already the new Col
lector finds that he has got into a queer nest Of
jobbery, no doubt. The last appeal to him on
the part of the merchants is that they may be
permitted to remove their packages from the
public store by their own carmen. Strange as
monopoly of this business by official favor.

ONE LITTLE INDIAN, Two LITTLE INDIAN,

BACK TO THE OLD PLACE AGAIN.-ThurlOw
Weed, the abdicated lobby king, is about to

pretty lakes of Western New York, in the
region where the lucky hit of Morgan the first

AT STEwART's.-It is noteworthy that even
with all the intricacy in the collection of money
that exists at Stewards, where the principle is
that no one is trusted, the money is yet not
safe. No clerk is permitted to take money at
the counter, but when purchase is made the
money and goods are taken away together to
be passed through dozen different hands, to
the great detention of the buyer. 1t is sup
posed that one account will so guard another
that the money must all go into the till but
man is in custody charged with a theft Of
