The Summer promises to be one OF more
than average heat. 1t is unfortunate, therefore,
that we must meet it under Board OF Health
as yet untried, and whose tardiness in begin
ming its work does not encourage much hope
of its efficiency. It has now been month in
existence, and has accomplished nothing be-
yond turning out a number of Republicans
whose ability and zeal in sanitary reform was
unquestioned; nor is there any sign that it
it will soon commence that vigorous war
upon city nuisanccs A Committee Is
lcsurely considering how the health laws
can be cOnfOrmed to the new regime, and
all active work is meantime suspended. II the
new Board shall strictly enforce the laws and
require unceasing activity from Its executive
officers, New-York will soon be one of the most
healthful cities in the world. But Democracy
has so strong an affinity for dirt that we are
not sanguine of the future. The butchers are
politically powerful, and it will be unexpected
good fortune if they are not permitted to ply
their trade without restriction. More powerful in
political and more perilous in sanitary sense
than these are the owners and keepers of the
low lodging and boarding houses. The sani-
tary condition of those houses is permanent
source of danger. The Board of Health has
six Democrats to three presumed Republicans,
and some of the former being known as un
qualified partisans, it is natural to expect that
the burial permit department will be the
one most actively employed. Neglect of duties
can only lead to the sacrifice of human lives.
This deplorable result can only be avoided by
the creation of correct public sentiment.
The politicians who have assumed the most
vital of all public trusts must be taught that
their Office cannot be used solely for the ad-
yancement of partisan interests.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-09

" faithful, independently of any conhrna-
ton from political authority, and even in d.
erect opposition to laws emanating from politl-
zeal authority" To teach such principles as
these from the 10000 pulpits of France would
"inflict upon tender cOnscicnces the most cruel
"torture,r and disturb the harmonious relations
which His Majesty desires to preserve between
the Church and State. II is easy enough to see
the force of Count Darius complaint, but
not to appreciate his logic. The Church
has always defined the limits of her own
powers, has always announced decisions bind
ing i'm conscience without consulting the clvll
power has always declared her laws to be
noramount to those of the State. Admit the
existence of an infalliblc Church, and you
must admit her right to make just these deli
nitions. The difficulty in the case springs
from the false and inconsistent position which
France assumes on the religious question.
The Government processes to be Catholic DuI
is not willing to accept the duties implied IN
that profession; pays the Roman Catholic
clergy to teach the people, but refuses 10 be
taught itself, although the authority OF the
Church to teach emperOrs, kings, and senatcs
is an important part of the Roman Cathohc
creed. There is really no logical medium
between absolute submission and such abso-
lute neutrality as our own country observes.
10 q government like ours it makes no differ
ence what the Council DEGREES or what the
pretensons of the Pope may be; and France
would be perfectly at ease if she would only
adopt the same principles.

The annual report of Mr.. Blackburn no
Fire Marshal of Philadelphia, gives sor,
startling figures in regard to the work Of in.
cendiaries in that city. During the year ls,3
fires were more numerous than ever hcso,,

Blackburn well points out, /. a general De.

when we find that in Philadelphia, in the CON-
paratively short period of thirteen years. thert
have been 9l4 arrests for arson, with an aver

How infinite are the curiOsities Oh suicide
Here is would-be felo-de-se in Cincinnati
one Philip Lott, who determined to so absO
lutely blow off his head that the affair." whG
the Coroner came to investigate, should b
considered one of the most astonishing OF The
century. Wherefore he placed a pound Of pow
der in tin box, the said box on the feor, h.
head on the said box, and then he let of the
arrangement by means of fuse! Immense
explosion In rushed the mother of Philip
and finding the head entirely uninjured, an
the furniture considerably damaged, gave he
child a round scolding for not using the regr
lar pistol. This is another instance (and rathg
a ludcrous One) of that love of display, thI
desire of creating sensation which, chaEr
terize many suicides. The deed must be done
but it must be done in a way to excite ths
wonder and admiratiN of the neighboThood-
last desperate effort to secure the applausd
mankind. This would point to the moral meth'd
of making suicide less frequent by making
absurd. Perhaps this would have but htls
effect upon men of the highest nature; but sub

The mass of evidence in the Mcfarland case
has been so great that the average reader pro-
badly forgot the first of it long before the last
was reached. For the convenience of those
who wish to see in brief what was ac-
tually proved, on each side, we pre-
sent in other columns a careful abstract of the
leading points. 1t is believed that the argu-
3nents of the counsel will be concluded by the

The vote of Paris on the plebiscitum, yester
day-lS2,SS1 "No" and 1880 "Yes"-indicates
the vote of France. The Constitution has un-
doubtedly been rejected and the personal gov
ernment of Napoleon is sustained. BY what
means France has been compelled again to
do violence TO her natural sense of right, her
strong, impulsive yearning for larger liberty,
all who have watched the preparations for the
election can rightly conjecture. NapOleon's
triumph is that of the bayOnet not the ballot.

A letter from South Carolina, the first of a
series descriptive of the New South, from
careful and trusted correspondent lately sent
to the Southern States by THE TRIBUNE, treats
of the negro as he is found in the most thickly
populated district of the Gulf States. The
general intelligence of the negroes of South
Carolina is it should be remembered, far be-
low that of the colored people of any other
State and the picture which is presented,
though applicable to the locality from which
ii is dated, is not fair representation of the
negro race as it exists elsewhere.

How to Eat.

The common vice Of our people in thu
United States, in both town and country,
in city and village,among old and young,
rich and poor, is rapid eating, when the
stomach, like dark DO tie which is at
tempted to be filled with a funnel, gets
full and overruns before one knows it
There are two ill effects from hasty feed
ing the food expands considerably, both
by increased warmth and by its being
divided and liquefied. so that if the stom.
ach is not full when one ceases to eat, 1t
will be full enough in few minutes by
the heating and liquefying process thus
it happens when a person is called from
the table, he may feel as if he could very
easily have eaten more, but if detained a
very few minutes, he comes back, feeling
he does not want to taste another particle,
and ofttimes expresses himself impatient.
ly about his dinner being spoiled
when the truth is his food has been en-
larged in bulk by the necessary prepare
tion which it has undergone, thus max
ing the stomach full enough for all health
ful purposes, and full enough for comfort.
If meal is eaten with great deliberation
this expanding, heating, liquefying pro-
cess begins and keeps pace with the meal,
and the man does not feel like gorged
anaconda. The English people thus eat,
as nation they give themselves time
to enjoy their food, to experience the
pleasure of its taste, and make eating a
qualification while we americans, in
multitudes of cases, look at it as thing
to be gotten through with-as q task
which has to be performed, and the
quicker the better From DR.. Halps
