the obiectin view has not been accom-
plished Many Democrats have been
led TO tfemble for the future Of their
party, and some almost to despair Of
success, but not a Republican has been
converted; not a ~proselyte brought
into the Democratic ranks. No one
doubts the good intent Of the body OF
party leaders, who have been promi-
nent in this matter, some dishonora-
BILE executions being left out OF the
calculation. But their policy was
as short-sighted as i has proved inju-
rious. The Departurists have avoided
argument, and depended on sheer
assertions OF policy which the practi-
cal result shows to be shameful I'M
policy. The experience Of mankind
has shown that it is perilOus to surren-
der any right principle, and so far as
the present experiment is concerned
it Is most evident that nothing has
been gained by it. The experiment
makers have been ~voeiferOus with the
'lion's-mouth" argument, which has
favored the Radicals so far as it has
done anything. But they have not
shown their ability to get out by craft
any more than to escape by taking the
devouring lion by his angry name.
They have never given a good reason
for expecting success, and they have
accomplished nothing so far with
which to substitute the argument. Il
they could give reasons, the Demo
cratic party would not be divided.
They prefer abusing those old Demo
Gratis they have left in line to needing
their advice, sdhering to their princi-
pies or striking the common enemy
Of liberty.

MannarIs - b Vianna.

Herr z. Wagner's "Rienzi" has at
length been brought out at the Impe-
rial Opera House. 1t was not a fail
ure, but it was not g great success.
There was, il is true, considerable
applause, but that was bestowed on
the singers, the dancers, the dresses
and the scenery, rather than on the
work itself. lis sole chance of q long
run will probably consist in the gen
eFal love Of the public Of all countries
for any exhibition in which danger to
the performers plays a prominent
and principal part-in that feeling
which attracts crowds to witness the
fests of BlOudins, male and female,
and gaze at the leaps Of LeOtards and
LuIus. Every artist in "Rienzi" runs
no ineOnsideral)le risk, if all the char
acter5 are as perilOUs as that of the
heroine, played by Mile. Rabstinsky,
who was seriously injured in the last
scene by a piece OF the ruins of the
capitol falling Upon her head and lay
ing it open. Though the blood flowed
freely from the wound, the lady bore
bravely up and disdained to faint. In
the midst of her sUfferings she de
clared most emphaticaIly she would
never appear i'll another of Herr Wag-
ner's operas. It was quite sufficient,
she said, for singers TO have to immO-
late their voices, without having to
sacrifice their lives, as well, on the
altar Of Herr Wagner's muse. All
the members of the company have
become very anxious since the acci-
dent to Mile. Rabatinsky. 1t appears
that one gentleman belonging to their
number Wantet to insure his life the
other day, but he had great difficulty
in getting any company to take him,
because he wis liable to be called on
TO sing in Herr Wagner's operas. AT
length, by dint Of great perseverance
and touching sOlicitatiOns-nOt IN
mixed, some shy, with tears-he pre-
vailed on the directors to relent; but
the rate per cent. on his insurance was
raised most considerably. One young
lady, a primG6 eL}eTinG, is so scared by
what has takerl place that she asserts
she must have a certain extra sum
nightly whenever she appears in any
opera where there are traps or water;
double salary where there are burn
ing palaces, and a resiliatiOn of her
engagement when falling beams form
a part of the stage business.

Railwnv Lnnchann Raskafs-

We learn from the London RG8IlCGQ
NeGCs Oireeent date, that an experiment
has been tried on the section Of the
Midland railway, between Leicester
and Kent, which might be initiated in
this country with most satisfactory
results. This experiment consists in
the Introduction Of what is known as
the "lunch-b8sket SYSTEM" devised
by a ~Well-kloWn firm OF public
caterers in Kent for the accom-
mediation of the travelling pub
Lie. 1t seldom happens that the
time allowed for refreshments on a
long journey by rail tallies convenient
ly with the exact period at which q
traveller feels inclined to eat anddrink.
In order to overcome this difficulty,
the nature Of which all experienced
railway travellers viii readily under
stand, the contractors are furnishing
baskets of an easily portable and COM
pact size and form, well stocked with
the materials for a comfortable lunch
eOn-that is to say, half a fowl, ham,
bread and butter, cheese, salad, a pint
OF claret or other light beverage plates,
knives and forks, glasses and napkins
the price being three shillings. The
baskets, which are made for the pur-
pose, are provided with every neces-
sity and convenience, and inside the
lid is affixed a printed card requesting
that, as no deposit Is required nor
charge made fur the use of the cOnve
niences in the basket, all the articles
will be replaced in their proper posi-
tons, and the baskets delivered up
complete at the end of the journey.
AT present, it is necessary that pas
seDgers should receive these baskets
at Kent, and deliver them to the pOr-
ter at Leicester, or rice UersG, accord
ing to the direction in which they are
going 4; but more neutrality-suspicious.
win be made when the system Is fair
" established, which will enable the
passengers to obtain baskets when
they please and deliver them up when
convenient.

CH1ORALUM.
This new article, which has been
sent into commerce by the London
Chloralum Company, seems TO be
working its way rapidly into use as
an antiseptic and ~disinfectant. Some
facts and deductions relating to its
virtues have already been published,
which seemed strongly to recommend
1t to the public for all the ordinary
purposes for which this class Of agents
are employed. DR.. William Hard
wicke, the health officer for Padding
ton parish, LOIdOn, says he has fused
it in Urinals, sewers and gulIy.holes,
and that it is icing largely employed
to deodorize sewage. 1t Is an active
antiseptie, and yet iR no way affects
the value Of sewage if this has to be
poured over the land. ChloralUm
should be used In water carts, and can
be freely employed in washing fever
patients and IN ~disinfecting all their
discharges" uT. HardWicke, through
the London Daily NelUs, proposes
chlOralum to abate the yellow fever
that is raging in BuenGs Ayres, and
he add that It's potency for this pur-
pose is unquestiOnable. Some expert
enee we have had with Its ~antiseptic
properties convinces US that it can be
employed abOIt the household with
great advantage. It retsrds the de-
composition o.. meat without appar-
emily impairing its flavor or diminish
