The Deldlodredn, of Saturday shows unmis-
taxable signs that it is coming into the Baltimore
harness, but nevertheless says -
1--WE wish to be understood. We are not in
favor Of Mr.. Greeley's nomination, but would
prefer defeat under Democratic candidate to.
success under Greeley. No Democrat can sup
port him as the representative of his principles
but any Democrat may justify voting for Gree.
ley after he is nominated at Baltimore for the
purpose of assisting to defeat Grant. Whether
he will do 80 is a matter addressed to his own
Judgment and discretion under all the circum-
stances. We shall never advocate the election
of MIR. Greeley as the exponent of Democratic
principles. This would be to stultfy and prove
we had no principles ourselves"
The Middletown Transcript remains steady
in the party ranks, aud will have nothing to do
with the Baltimore job. 1t says -
"We have endeavored, in these columns, bv
our own articles and those OF contemporaries,
to demonstrate the folly nf such course. and
we again enter our earnest protest against it.
The endorsement of Greeley and Brown would
hopelessly divide the Democratic party. While
some aver, in the occurrence of such an eyert.
that they will not vote at all others have de-
clared their intention of supporting Grant
These men will be sufficient to make the defeat
of the Cincinnati nominees certain and the re-
election OF Grant overwhelming. And who can
blame them for such coursey A large maiori-
" oI lne democrats In tho land would prefer a
straight-out ticket, but in the event there is
none put Forward no other nomination is bind
ing upon them, and rIany will feel free to act as
they please There are many Democrats who
think that Grant is preferable to Greeley, and
will support him in case the contest narroys
down to these two candidates"
These are strong expressions, but very sin
cere. The Transcript may be forced to
change its tone, but we doubt IT. Its independ-
ence and devotion to true Democratic principles
are very strong

During the seige of Paris, and between the
23d of September, 1870, and the 2Sth Of Janu.
ary, 1871, sixtyfour balloons left that city, bear
ing, in addition to one hundred and sixty-one
passengers, and three million letters, baskets of
carrier-pigeons, and, in a few cases, dogs, des-
tined to return again with messages and news
for the beleaguered citizens. By the aid of this
pigeon-post, alone, it is estimated that fifty
thousand messages were sent into the city, be-
sides whole pages Of the London Times, con-
tanning printed replies and communications from
friends in England and elsewhere. These as is
known, were reduced by photography to a suit
able size, and on their arrival were copied By the
aid of the microscope, and posted upon bulle-
tins, where they might be read by all In one
of these balloons the Volta" NJ. Jansen, the
eminent French astronomer, started with all his
instruments for the south of Europe, being
anxious to make observations of an approaching
solar eclipse. Leaving Paris on the I'd of De-
cember, he arrived safely at Savenay, town
two hundred miles to the southwest, after
journey of five and half hours The most in-
teresting voyage, however, was that of NJ. Rol-
ier, who landed in Christlana, Norway, fourteen
hours after leaving Paris, twelve of which were
consumed in crossing the North Sea. or the
sixty-four balloons that left the city, five only
were captured by the Prussans, while two we're
lost at sea- This service was organized and di-
rected by M. Nadar and M. Jules GODDARD, the
ieronaut, and the average capacity of the bal
looms was about seventy Thousand cubic feet of
gas.

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN NOT CRITICISED.
From the N. Y Times
Gov Hoffmen and his family are at New
port, says the Greeley organ but not one word
does it add pbout the shameful nature Of this
',loitering" on the part of the Fxtcutive of the
Empire state. 1t is equally silent on the Gov
ernor'a "nepotism" in appointing his father-in-
law to very fat office, as well as on His Excel
lency's manipulation" of his high office to Sc
cure denomination 'by a corrupt bargain with
the Cincinnati party"
THE TERRIBLE MORTALITY LAST WEEK.
[Rrjmthe N. Y. Herald
The official report of the death list of this
city for the last week is 1862 the heaviest bill
OF mortality for one week ever known on Man
haitian Island. We have never had anything
approaching it before,
Our excessive bills OF mortality, then, to cut
short the argument, are mainly due to the neg
lect and carelessness OF our city authorities and
our citizens in reference to the sanitary pro-
visions, precautions and improvements neces-
sary to maintain the health Of oBr city with its
increasing population. And the moral of all
this is that we must improve the health of our
city, as we can improve it, or prepare to see, to
greater extent than ever other cities and
towns built up at our expense.

1t is of great Importance that the system should
be in vigorous condition wnen the hot weather
commences. The effects OF g high tempera' ure
upon an enfeeblei frame are always more or less
disastrous. The loss Of substance and the declen-
sion OF nervous power, oecasoned by excessive
heat, can only be compensated by the active health
ful, and regular exercise Of all the bodily functions
BY which the waste of nature is replenshed and The
vital energies renewed. The great utility of Hos
letters Stomach Btters as means of toning lnyi-
goratng and regulating the organs Of the body, is
universally acknowledged AS tonic it stimulates
