Henry Bergh, the president of the New York
society for the prevention of cruelty to animals,
is TO be brought before the courts for obstructng
travel by stopping street cars to make arrests.
One of the police commissioners, in referring to
the matter, said that, while he gave Mr.. Bergh
great credit for what he has done in behalf of
dumb animals, he could not help saying that
Mr.. Il. appeared TO think that a human being
had no rights which he was bound to respect.
He alluded 10 one of Bergh's arrests a few days
previous, and said il necessitated the stoppage of
long line of street cars for some time, and that
among the passengers on these cars was a young
lady who was anxious to catch a train at one of
the depOts, in order that she might be present at
the death-bed of her sister, to which she had
been hastily summoned. The lady remained a
long time in the car, and finding that there was
no chance of its moving, took carriage and
arrived at the depot just in time to the train
start. The trial Of this case will be an interest
ing one. Should be decided against Mr.. Bergh
the street car conductors can hereafter laugh at
the society with the long name, since its mem
beTs will virtually be prohibited from making
arrests for cruelty on any OF the street rail-
road lines.

Now that both political parties have had the
opportunity to shoot Off their big guns, and
therefore stand on the same footing in that re-
spect, We beg to suggest that the firing of can
non in Washington be dispensed with for the re-
mainder of the campaign. To do so will deprive
a little squad ofpeaee patriots in each camp of a
very keen enjoyment, We know; but on the other
hand our citizens generally will be gratified at
the abandonment OF an Objectionable old custom
which is vastly "mOre honored in the breach
than in the Observance" At best it is but relic
Of TuGer and more bOisterous times, when hum an
nature was cOarser and baser than now, and
when loud explosion was thought Unnecessary to
express or symbOlise joy. Besides, the pastime
Is al exceedingly dangerous one 70 those engaged
il it, generally damaging TO property in the i'm
mediate vicinity, OfteDtimes productive of fatal
results TO sick and nervous people, and always
GisSgreeable TO everybody.
Gentlemen, let US celebrate little more
nationally; andif we hsvnt The good sense to do
this Of our Own motion, let the authorities step
In and prohibit the nuisance any where within
the city limits.

The distinguished speakers announced for the

were :-''GOvernor Walker, of Virginia: Hon.

present, and the meeting was addressed instead
by Messrs. Jesse b. Wilson, John E. Norris, DIR.
Charles Allen, II. NJ. Hall, X. W. Fenwick, r.
:. Davis, and others of our local politicians
This serves to show the humbuggery of the
modern appliances for getting up ratification
meetings" and we may add that both and all
parties are alike guilty in the matter. The
result Is that the sensible solid class OF the COM
munity, who dislike TO be brought out under false
pretences, stay at home, and the audiences are
made up of boys and those who are attracted by
the FIRE works ana Chinese lanterns. We mean
no discredIt to our local orators who spoke last
hight when we say this. They are estimable
citizens, and several of them are very good
speakers, well capable of interesting an audi
ence, but the public desire fair dealing In the
matter and want to know just who they may
expect 10 hear when they take the trouble to
attend.

The Springfield Republican notes the fact that
General Grant is upon Lake Champlsin, and
Mr.. Greeley in New Hampshire, both vainly de-
luding themselves that they are travelling for
rest and pleasure, and not for votes and says:
"They are sensible IeOple-rather above the
average in that respect-and ought to be able,
even through their ambition and egotsm. to see
the absurdity of this travelling show business
they are engaged in. Suppose they should get
together tonight on Mansfield mountain, and
help each other in square talk to realize the
righteousness OF il all, and make a contract TO

Last n light furnished one of the finest auroral
displays ever witnessed in this locality. For
several hours the celestial illumination was kept
NJ in the northern heavens, the manifestation
bringing into view meantime all the various
phases incident to such phenomena, including
red, green, blue, white and yellow lights, to-
gether with shooting rays, broad belts of steady
Isrti-colOred fame, and the shimmering wave
like flashes not often seen in such exhibitions,
and resembling in character the phenomenon
commonly called ''heat lightning" rather than
the pale, fixed light OF the ordinary aurora.
Altogether the display was an unusual one,
both in splendor and duration, and those who
