Andy johnson, is swelling the great
army of Liberalism. Judge Black is
one Of the leading Democrats of his
State, and possesses large amount Of
political influence both with Democrats
and Republicans. The indications are
that the people Of Pennsylvania will not
have any cause to complain for want Of
enlightenment as to the issues of the
coming contest, the Liberals having
engaged the services of Senator Carl
Schurz, General N. P. Banks, Governor
Fenton of New York, Senator Upton Of

WE are glad to see the city govern
ment turn its attention to the subject Of
adulteration of milk. Heretofore real
milk has been a rarity, the chalk and
water modification being in the market.
Milk as it comes from the COW contains
eighty-seven per cent. Of water; hence
there can be no apology for adding
well, cistern or creek water to the fluid.
We fancy il consumers had been con-
suited in the matter they would have
preferred to pay their own water tax as
a separate item and not pay it in the
way Of milk tax to an agent. In New
York and other cities eminent medical
authorities have confidently attributed
a large share of the infant mortality to
the improper quality Of the milk supply,
and this source of danger is common to
the children of the rich as well as the
poor. To adulterate milk is crime
against humanity as well as fraud upon
a community.

The French language has been excluded

from Alsace and Lorraine continues
to grow greater daily. owing to their un-

A brilliant display of shooting meteors
takes place every night in this latitude.
The meteors which arrive in this neigh
borhood are supposed by some persons
to be Fragments detached from some
comet or world. These fragments are
drawn towards this planet, but are not
luminous until they enter into our at
mosphere. They approach with amazing
speed, and the conclusion or friction
with the air produces heat and combus-
ton, The compression of the air is so
great that the onward flight of the me,
teor is often arrested, and then it loses its
brightness and tnmbIes to the earth, By
far the greater number ofthese bodies are
consumed before they reach our atmos-
phere, as they come rushing onward at
the rate of one hundred miles second.
The hight at which most Of them are
seen varies from forty-fve TO ninety
miles. Professor Herschel estimated
the size of the meteors of 1868 as weigh
ing from FIVE. to eight pounds, while
others did not weigh more than eighty
or one hundred grains. These bodies
that have been analysed have been
found to contain materials which abound
on our earth, fact showing that the
matter in the universe is the same. A
late theory advanced in England is that
the germs of all organic matter were
first conveyed TO the earth by
means Of meteoric bodies. This Gu
rious theory would imply that our
ancestors, the monkey or the oyster,
came here in such conveyances that
bore the germs of all men, Horace
Greeley included. Astronomers say
that the display of meteors in August
and September will be grand, as, accord.
