Sanitary regulations are among the most
important legislative acts which fall within
the scope of municipal governments. What
ever will protect and promote the health OF
citizens is as worthy Of earnest considera-
ton and prudent enforcement as a system
of efficient police or commercial facilities.
We must give the present city medical au-
thorities credit for great energy and per-
haps wisdom also in their management
during the recent yellow fever. The dill
gent and laborious use of carbolic acid and
other disinfectants probably saved the city
from an epidemic. We see that now a
movement is made towards the adoption of
earth closets in public buildings and must
regard it as an important step in the same
direction. The night carts, with their ter
rible odors, are not only intolerably often
sive, but they must be most prolific source
of disease. In a season of epidemic
scarcely a more effective method of dis
semnating the virus or of propagatiDg the
malady, could be invented. The earth
closet obvates all these difficulties, and
not only ought public institutions to adopt
them, but the law ought to require private
residences to be fitted up in accordance
with that system.

Gen. Grant having failed to get up war
with the Southern States has turned his at
tention to Canada. The fishing question
10 the one which agitates tho peaceful
heart of our amiable chief. The local legis-
latnres Of that Dominion have gone into
the Mackerel and Goldfish subject in spirit
which chsfes the maritime feelings of our
venerable President, if he is land lubher.
In the course of his late majestic message
to Congress that great man touches on sun
dry and various important subjects. He
speaks OF Cuba, the Alabama claims, the
national debt, the French and Prussian
war, the reconstruction of our own Union,
and even the all important matter of San
Domingo, but throughout all this exciting
catalogue of subjects he manages to get
along with q certain ponderous gravity. 1t
is only when he comes to the fishing boats,
and the Dominion's law-making that he
wakes wrathful and inclines to scintillate.
1t is evident that the Canadas are in dan
ger. If they dare to treat the laws on their
statute books as arsg thing but dead letter,
Gen. Grant will see them about it imme-
diately. We must conclude that the Cen
eral had actually declared war against them
upon the mere passing of the Objectionable
laws, but afterwards thought he would wait
and give them chance, to show whether it
was joke or not. When however Russia
concluded to bully England, he concluded
to let the Dominion have taste of his
acknowledgement, and he has done it.
The Journals of our little neighbor are, in
their turn, consumed with indignation at
the imperial and truculent tone of the great
sachem who commences a war dance on
such short notice. Our opinion in the
matter is simply, that if the Radicals and
the Canadians get into war, it is hard to
foretell which will whip. We can't say
that we will be exactly in the position of
the old lady during the contest between
her husband and the bear, for we think
that Canada has been improperly treated.
A guilty conscience is great coward, how
ever, and we do not believe that the United
States could be kicked into a war even
with Canada while it has radical admin
istration.

Our present form of city government was
guaranteed by its originators as sure to
work material reformation in the ad-
ministration of city finances. The great
point of it was to be responsibility. -
Each administrator was to have his duties
80 distinctly defined that any failure in his
department would be Immediately trace
able to him. Hence taxes would be col
lected with more promptness and expenses
incurred with more prudence. Economy
and energy were. going to restore city
credit and reduce city taxation immediate
~. AS practical comment on this, we
find ip the last report of the Council in SEES
sion that the city attorney is to have two
clerks at $50 or $500 per month each,
aud two assistant attorneys at $3.50 per
month each. When we reflect that he has
been previously favored with the services
of deputy at the rate of $4,000 per an
mum, we can see that the cost of running
his department foots up pretty rapidly.
Under the old system his assistant force
cost about $500 per month. Now it is
about $500, that is to say, $1,000 more for
each month.
Here is retrenchment. When we con-
slider a number of items like this, we can
no longer wonder that the budget for next
year should show an estimated deficit of
nearly two millions of dollars.

"LooK AT HoME."-On the evening of
the I'd of November the Rev. H S. Brown
delivered an able lecture in Myrtle street
chapel on "Proverbs relating to War"
Towards its close, referring to the assertion
which had beeu made that Paris was a
second Sodom aud Gomorrah, he said that
those who live in glass houses should not
throw stones. If there was Liverpool
man who spoke in that way of Paris, he
would say to him, 3" Hush no more of
that; look at the gin-shops, the numb of
beasts that beat their wives and starve
their children, and the vice and the pro-
family of Liverpool. Paris may have been
n hell upon earth by reason of its wicked
ness, but was she worse than other places
Her people were not moro drunken than
ours, and they could hardly be more dis
honest. Things that had been done in the
Bourse could be matched by what is done
ON our Exchange flags" The reverend
gentlemen concluded with a strong con-
domination of war.-LiUerpool Albion.

How LORRAINE BECAME PART OF FRANCE.
The history of the Republic of Metz is dis
tinct from the history of the Dukes of Lor-
raine, and we must return to the fifteenth
century in order to understand how LOr-
raine enters first into the history and after
wards into the domain of France. Charles
the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, was ambi-
tious of building up an empire between
Germany and France, and part of this en-
pire was to be the Duchy of Lorraine. He
began by Selling the person of the young
Duke, Rene H., and compelling him to
Weld certain fnrtresses, aud a free road
through Lorraine for his troops. But
Charles encONntering q serious check at
Heuss, near the Rhine, Louis XII. encour
aged Rene to declare war, and at the battle
of Nancy Charles the Bold lost his life.
From Rene ii. the Guises were descended !;
the ambition of this family was afterwards
fatal, not only to themselves, but to the
Houae of Lorraine. French uniforms be-
came familiar to the eyes of the peace
able Lorrainers; French signatures ap-
peared frequently in the State papers of
Che little palace at Nancy. Louis XIV
came to the throne with his eyes fixed on
Lorraine, the possession of which had been
gradually prepared for him by the policy
Of Ricbelieu and Mazarin. But there were
mo sudden aggressiOns, as in the case of
Alsace. In 1862 the Duke Charles, who
had no legitimate issue, arranged, in return
for read " money payment, that Lorraine
should go to the French Crown after his
death Although this arrangement was not
actually carried out, Lorraine was from
that time completely cut off from the Ger
man empire it remained dukedom only
in name; and when, in 1885. King Stanis-
laus, the father-in-law of Louis XIV, lost
his crown, he received the Duchy of Lor-
raine on condition that after his death it
should pass to the French crown, while the
Duke of Lorraine received the Grand
Duchy of Tuscany, which had fallen vacant
through the extinction of the great family
of the Medici.-CasSers illustrated Travels.
