AGE cannet wither nor custom stale the inhhle
variety of misinformation wherewith 1he Lonaon
Times sheds daily darkness upon Its dscusSions Oh
American affairs Certainly the droes OF Its recent
oracnlar ntterances is the astounding Information IL
conyeys to it's readers that Mr.. Greeley has until
very lately been in full sympathy with the Admins
tration as against the complaints of the Liberal Re
pubIicans; that he has pronounced Clvll service
Reform pedantic fancy; only became Protectionst
to gain the Cincinnati nomination; made no obJec-

Tended the intricate policy of the Administration
with reference TO Cuba. Evidently the days cannot
be far off in which shall more learn from TINS

City of Massachusetts has been chosen as the shire
town of Tennessee County, and that Gen. Buncombe
has made himself Chancellor by evisceratlng the

The diversion of Summer travel to Europe
has become one of the most notable features
of passenger movements. BY the steamers
which sailed for foreign ports from New
York, on Saturday last, went an enormous
numler of pleasure-seekers, one ship alone
carrying about $50 passengers. Fares are low;
the cost of living in Europe is comparatively
inexpensive. and to go abroad is easy and
1.-THE thing" What effect this foreign current
will have on our own watering-places and
Summer resorts, remains to be seen; but one
would suppose that these great ship loads of
Transatlantic voyagers must leave some room for
the guests of crowded seaside and mountain
hotels.

south by Mexico, and east by the Rocky
Mountains. Some of these plans will possibly
fail now, but the fact that they are now agi-
tated and discussed shows that there is de-
mand for these commercial facilities; and it
is certain that most of the roads will be built
within few years, while the desert" has al
ready disappeared.

Latest Washington dispatches indicate that
the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee have
sufficient perspicacity to discover that the new
Article to the Treaty of Washington is " uni
lateral" to borrow Mr.. Summers descrip-
ton. In brief, it is discovered, at last,
that while the door to satisfaction for indl-
rect damages is forever closed to the United
States, it is kept op,n for Great Britain.
This view of the case is tardy, and 1t is
possible that the alarm at Washington may
overbear it, Senators who have not found out
until now that the Supplemental Treaty is
simple surrender, cannot be trusted for any
adequate treatment of the proposal to surren-
der when they discover it.

Some thousands of bricklayers and carpen-
ters will be "On strike" to-day, for elght
hours work at ten hours wages. We are just
at the beginning of building season OF
unusual activity, and speedy and peaceful
adjustment of this conflict between the boss"
masons and carpenters and their employees IS
very desirable. We regret that the treaty
which must be made at the end Oh tne
struggle could not have been made at It's DE-
ginning, without a resort to hostile measures.
If struggle there must be, we trust 1t VIII not
be disgraced by any act of violence toward
employers, OF toward fellOw-mechanics who
may choose to accept the wages offered them.
Argument and appeal will be strictly in ORDER
but rash resort to briclbats and bludgeons
cannot fail to react with crushing effect on
the assailantS.

It would seem that labor matters are complicated
enough already, but the master masons of Chicago,
dreadng a strike of their worllmen, have resolved
that they will sign contracts hereafter unless they
contain provision exempting the builders from all
damages in case of general strike This will drive
three parties to loggerheads instead of two, but
whether it will solve the problem, upon rational
principles of the wages of labor is somewhat doubt

There is nothing more mysterious in this world
than what are called accidents" At Worcester,
Mass. few DAYS ago, Mrs. Ellen OLaughn
called upon a neighbor who had nailed Stats across
a window to keep the children from falling out.
She tipped her chair back against these Stats when
they gave way and she was preclpitated from n

three hours. Here the very means adopted to pre-
vent an accident were the occasion of it.

The suppression of the Street Cleaning Com
mission is greatly to be rejOiced over, for it
was expensive and cumbrOus, and most in
efiectual in giving us clean streets. Its duty
now devolves on the Police Board, and we
hope to see it well done. Properly the clean
ing of the streets is sanitary measure, and
should be under the direction Of the Health
Department, or at least under Its influence /;

The usual eagle has again appeared, with outspread
wings and crookt talons, and threatening beak, to
carry away the usual baby. Since the days OF the
story and the picture of the Sunday-school books
the eagle has never succeeded in carrying OIL the
child 1t queer, however that eagles do not appear
unless children are out playing. At least they are
never seen except by some faithful dog or LOVING
mother, who defends the infant. This time the
eagle appeared in a town on the Hudson, and the
mother with the usual difficulty, rescued the child
1t is sometimes the case that the eagle story resem-
bles that of the three black crows; we have known
the eagle to be a hawk, and the child to be feeding
chickens; we have heard of the eagle being only a
hen defending her chicks from the infant; but in
the last case paper having told the story ruth
less cotemporary says 1T was only gilt tin eagle.

If we may credit the story, the Communists of
Lyons are doing a very profitable business. They
offer to the prominent merchants of Lyons to insure
their property against all damage or destruction by
fire in case of a Red rising This they do in return
for stipulated monthly payment. and some mer-
chants il is stated pay as much as f200 year for
this insurance against petroleum. But this is not
the only way in which the Communists, 1t IS said,
make the bourgeois feel their power. They demand
of the insured that at the municipal elections they
shall vote as the Committee direct, being required
to show the voting-papers to Communist agent

The Illinois Central Railroad Company
will consent to remove the tracks Of their
road from inside the plank road and locate
II near the brow of the levee, leaving a
wide roadway for teams between the
tracks and the side walk, if the city will
consent to pay for the ballas-
ting the work will require, and
which will cost about $4,000. We believe
the city can we'll afford to accept this pro-
position. If it does not it will be COM
PEELED, before the bad " weather of next
Winter sets in, TO reconstruct the levee
plank walk at cost certainly not less
than $4,000 and probably $500. If the
proposition is not accepted and the
