The st. Louis Times says that Mr.
Mullett, the welLknown architect Of the
Treasury Department, had arrived from
New Orleans, to examine a site for the
erection thereon of magnificent United
States building to accommodate post
office, customs and revenue officials.
The Government building at New Or
leans has already cost $4,000, 600, and
viii cost 100000 before completion.
1t was the intention, if a proper site
could be obtained in st. Louis, to erect
abuilding that would cost from s., 600, 900
to S2,5OO,OOO. 1t would probably be a
three-story granite or marble structure,
built with special reference to its use.

THE SING SINa REVOLT, In which about
forty convicts attempted to escape, on Mon
day, proves even more, on the additional light
thrown uponit, the utter inadequacy Of the reg
ulations and the guards at that defective strong
hold. Convicts who, in the just pursuance of
the law, would have been hard at work on the
quarries, were among those concealed for
hours near the water side, waiting for the tug
boat to cast of its lines and sail, carrying
them to liberty. The other convicts inside the
walls, who knew of the intended attempt, but
who could not take part In 1t by reason Of
their too rigid confinement, all took to
the walls at the tumult of the at
tempted escape, and the guards, suddenly APP
prised Of the desperate state of affairs, fired
of their guns at random, helplessly depend
log on the sound of gunpowder report for
the capture Of the truants. Only one honest
man on the scene seems to have had either
sense or nerve about him, and that was Cap
tain Ward, Of the tugboat, who at once let
the anchor 60 and held his boat fast until the
wretches were recaptured. lie deserves all
credit as brave and cool man, fit for almost
any emergency, and the whole list Of Sing
Sing officials deserve removal as perfectly
useless in their vocation.

THE TEMPERANCE MEN, in view Of the awful
amount Of whiskey drinking connected with
the late Syracuse Convention, and Of the fear.
full consumption Of Bourbon and applejack
which marks the gathering Of the democratic
clans at Rochester, talk of running an indepen-
dent temperance ticket. Very good; but in
revolutionary times public opinion will not be
satisfied with cold water, and the hotter you
make the revolution the greater will be the
demand for whiskey. This, then, Is a bad
year for the temperance cause in New York

PRAYER MEETINGS. The Methodist, Pres
byterian and Baptist Churches of Elizabeth
propose holding series Of union prayer
meeting services, commencing on Tuesday
next. Such movement would be good
thing for the CITY Of New York in this critical
time Of sinful and dana1esf6u; excitements.
The time has come, indeed, when our city
most urgently calls for the prayers Of all the
Churches, and they ought to organize an ex-
teusive system Of daily prayer meetings to help
US out of our municipal troubles. 10

The SWEDISH ARMY.-Ths upper House of
the Swedish Parliament has approved of the
clause If the bill for the reorganization of the
army haich makes military service compul-
sorry Cn all male subjects of Sweden. This
looks lively. Sweden evidently sees a great
war in the not distant future. Germany and
Russia must fight sooner or later. Come the
struggle when II may, the Swedes mean to be
ready. 1t is not difficult to determine which
side they viii take. They have big grudge
against Russia, and they want but the oppor-
tunity to recover much OF their lost territory.

Tue FAMINE IN PERSIA AND THE DEsOLA-
TIoNs OF THE PEOPLE. E.-Most melancholy ac-
counts continue to reach London from the
famine-stricken districts Of Persia. Desola-
ton follows the footsteps of Death on every
side. By cable telegram we have the sub
stance Of report which has just been re-
ceived by the Queens government from
Teheran. The province Of Khorassan-m
famous in the songs of the poets-is blighted to
to an extreme degree. Eight thousand per-
sons died in one city from the effects of hun
ger during a single month. Food extortion-
lists, river inundations and sickening and
fatal pestilence added to the horrors of the
visitation. Then, again, there was war. The
Afghans, observing, as they imagined, their
opportunity, made military raid on the terri
tory. They carried forty thousand of the
people away to slavery. The Persian gov
ernment remains exclusive and nativist not
withstanding England and Russia proffered
to aid the sufferers, but the humane offer was
rejected through the promptings of national
jealousy and the love Of commercial gain. So
will it ever be until the great East is civ

SIT Is A REVOLUTION" said the republicans
in the streets Of Paris when they heard the

their results indicate general Generalization
or general apathy among the democrats
which is extraordinary. Even the democratic
strongholds Of New Haven ana Hartford have
been carried by the republicans by majorities
in some cases really astonishing. In New
Haven they have carried six of the eight
wards, and the city government will be
strongly republican. 1t is Tammany that has
thus discouraged the Connecticut democracy,
and the Rochester Convention must open
new set Of books, or the party throughout the
country may as well be dlsbanded as to at

A HIGH AMERICAN PROMOTION IN JAPAN. ~
g. Peshine Smith, from the service Of the
State Department at Washington, goes out to
Japan to act as legal adviser Of the Japanese
government. Mr.. Smith is a New Yorker,

We may. therefore, expect that, as legal ad-
wiser Of the Japanese government, he will act
with an enlightened regard TO American in
tsrests in that quarter of the world, while
carefully avoiding all entangling alliances and
complications. His talents and experience in
public affairs well qualify him for his new and

Judge Barnard's charge to the Grand JurA
places him directly in antagonism to the Tam

been developed to 80 alarming an extent Of

the charge is Of the most satisfactory charac-

the honest administration of our municipal
affairs, coming especially as it does from a
Judge whom these very men have severely
denounced and before whom they expressed a

TIE CHARGE OF THE SIX HUNDRED 1t is
reported that six hundred railway tickets to
Rochester had been purchased up to yesterday
morning by the Tammany leaders for their
Convention delegates and strikers. This looks
like preparation to move the previous ques-
tion in the old-fashioned Tammany style. We
call upon Mr.. Tilden, Chairman of the State
Committee, to provide for law and order in the
Convention in advance by securing strong
police force. The ''loya" republicans at Sy-
racuse were in danger of being turned out by
the roughs until the police were called to the
rescue, and then law and order prevailed.

BRIGHAM YOU'VE AND THE TERRITORIAL
LAWS OF UTAH-It is curious fact that
Brigham Young is to be tried under the Terri
torial laws Of Utah, over the making of which
he no doubt had great influence. These laws
against offences of immortality and indecency
were made, probably, with view to keep the
saints straight within the limits Of Mormon
morality; but, under Chief Justice Mexican,
they are likely to have, probably, more ex-
tended application than the trainers antici-
pated. The common law Of morality, as recog-
nized by this and all other civilized Christian
countries, will be applied to the Interpretation
Of the local laws of the Territory. Evidently
Mormonism is doomed, and the sooner the
Mormons abandon their system of polygamy
or emigrate to some other country the better.

It isnot too much to say that tens Of thou
thousands are suffering from bliousness,
indigestion, constipation, periodical fevers,
general debility. and nervous aftections,who
might be restored to perfect health within
q month or less by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The multitudeS who have
been cured of these and other ailments by
the use OF this well-known specific are
always ready to testify TO is virtue as
preventive and remedy. They are spread
over the whole country; they are eager to
praise and recommend ii d; and yet, notwith-
standing its vast popularity there are many
invalids, and many who are continually
exposed to the epidemical diseases, against
which 1t is a sure protection, who, either
Though indifference or Incredibly, neglect
to seize the opportunity TO cure and means
of prevention, which they have only to
reach out their hands to obtain. This Is
strange; 1t is one of the anomalies of hui
man nature which 1t Is impossible to ac-
count for or explain. 1t Is, however, quite
certain that every day the number of these
Martyrs of Neglect is diminishing. This Is
proved by the statistics of the sales of the
great remedy. During the present fall the
demand for ii has increased beyond all pre-
ce1nt 1t seems as If in the end the entire
community would realize the fact that
when all other medicines prescribed for the
above complaints fail, it can and does effect

ing comparable with 1t.
