and supplies in large quantities, SO that they
could secure a fair price for their product and
yet dispense with those additions which the
cupidity of dealers suggests and the apathy OF
consumers permits A vigorous movement to
accomplish this change is now making. In the
names of thousands of puny babies We cheer
the attempt In behalf of all who look with
doubt at the pale, turbid fluid as they pour it
with distrust and apprehension into their cof-
fee cups, we applaud the disposition OF the
farmers to put themselves in direct connection
with those who consume their product. Too
many cooks spoil the broth. Croton is better
used in cleansing our streets than in diluting
our milk. If our good neighbors in Goshen
will give us the pure extract we had far rather
pay them the extreme price than that fve-
sixths of our milk bills should go to those who
water and distribute it.

steam on street Railroads.

Our street cars are entirely inadequate
for the work they undertake They must be
the main reliance for conveying the vast
stream of local travel from point to point in
our city and into the suburbs On all holidays
theyare greatly overtasked. Take, for instance,
last Sunday. At certain hours the cars on all
the lines were crowded as full as they could be
packed-so full that only by almost cruel beat
ing and urging could the jaded horses start
their loads. If the companies put at work all
spare stock on these occasions they still lack
the requisite power TO move the concourse Of
those who demand accommodation. Evi-
IDENTIFY it would not pay to keep large numbers
of extra horses for use at such times. Yet the
lack Of power should be met. Why can We
not try a remedy for this defect,
which has proved success in
New Orleans There cars are run
nine miles with ample power by a boiler Of
water heated at the station house. No fire is
used in connection with the car, nor is there
any noise or any escape Of steam. Little
room is occupied by the engine and one man
is able to act as driver and conductor, stop
ping the car by the brake and starting without
any difficulty. At the station the water is re-
heated by connecting it with furnace, and
the car is ready to make another trip. BY this
method there would be no killing of valuable
stock from overwork, and only lack Of lber-
ality in the companies would defeat abundant
provision for all who might wish to ride.
Even if it should prove that this plan would
fail in the severest of our winter weather by
the too rapid cooling Of the water, we could at
least use it during such seasons as the present,
and avoid the hardships which we see imposed
upon the poor horses, who lack speech to
plead their cause against too exacting man.

The Milk supply Of the City.

Our milk is bad 1t is not alone poor we
could stand that 1t is poison. Adults can
let it alone, but babes must live on it, and
hundreds of them die by it. Not alone do the
evils of the milk supply threaten the city popu-
lation; they oppress the producers of the
nourishing au:d-the farmers in Putnam,
Columbia, Orange and Westchester counties,
in Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut
These rustic purveyors Of lacteal nourshment,
with their do,iie kline, furnish US daily three
hundred and twenty thousand quarts of the
pure fluid, which is estimated to grow, before it
reaches the consumers, By the addition of from
twenty-five to City per ceht of water, and often
to absorb deleterious drugs and abominable
adulterations, destructive to digestion and
threatening slaughter Of the innocents it
should nourish. We pay from ten to twelve
cents a quart for this so-called milk. For the
pure original article the farmers receive two
cents quart; the margin and the advantage
of the increased bulk fatten small army
of dealers and middemen far faster than
would diet of their commodity. Farmers
like money, ana tne ulllk farmers conceive
that they have but q poor show for their share
under this arrangement. No matter how
short the crop, the dealer is not likely to run
short OF the demands of his customers while
the Croton maintains its flow, but the farmer
must bear the loss when drought shrivels his
pasturage. These considerations have nat
urally suggested to the producers the plan of a
stock company, whereby they may themselves
conduct the business of serving customers in
the city, and allow the present dealers
monopoly of the Croton and chalk combina-
ton. Six hundred and twenty-five one-horse
wagons and three hundred two-horse trucks are
now employed in the trade. To run these
will require capital of three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, which number of the
leading producers propose to raise by sub
scriptions of farmers, all who hold stock being
entitled to furnish milk for distribution at a
stipulated price, and the profit to be
divided according to the quantity con-
tributcd by each. A large saving in the
expense of conducting the trade would be
effected by the association in buying feed

Transfer bill (Scotland), the Contagious Dis
eases Prevention bin. the Master and Servants
Wages bill and the Metropolitan Police Super
annuation bill. These and other bills were
then formally set aside; and it is not unrea-
sonable to take it for granted that many more,
all of them, of course, of great impor-
tance, were added to the unfortunate
list before yesterday at two o'clock.
II is not permitted us to pronounce the session
just ended one of the great sessions of the
British Parliament 1t will not compare with
that of 1867 when Mr. Disraeli, much to the
annoyance of the liberals, carried his Reform
bill. It will not compare with the sessions of
1869. 1870 and 1871, made memorable respec-
lively by Mr. Gladstone's great triumphs-
the disestablishment of the Irish Church, the
reform of the Irish Land laws and the aboli-
ton of purchase in the British army. At the
same time it would be in the last degree unjust
to say that the session has been fruitless one.
No great measure comparable to those we have
just mentioned has been carried But the
Ballot bill has become lava bill which in
principle seriously touches q vital part of the
British constitution; and it is not unfair to
say that if no other bill of any consequence
had been passed this one measure would have
been sufficient to give the session distinc-
ton. This, however, has not been the only
fruit Much good work of various kinds has
been DONE In the absence of positive infor-
nation it is not safe to speak with too much
confidence; but it was confidently expected
that before the prorogation yesterday the
Scottish Education bill, the Mines Regulation
bill, the Licensing bill and the Public Health
bill would all be passed into law. 1t is not to
be doubted that many important measures
have been deferred; and it may be taken for
granted that if Mr. Gladstone is spared he
will have on hand in the next session of Par
Lament sufficient work to tax his energies.
There is universal desire for reform; and
England, Scotland and Ireland are each of
them and equally imperious. Meanwhile we
are not sorry that lords and honorable gentle
men have exchanged the murky atmosphere
of Westminster for the fine fresh air of the
north.

A Remedy Against sower Gas.

The immense importance Of protecting our
dwelling houses from the impure and pesti-
lential infusion of sewer gas, upon which the
HERALD has often commented, has recently
stimulated the inventive genius of our mechan-
les to supply remedy. A simple and excel
lent contrivance has been lately made and
patented by gentleman of this city,
for trapping the foul air in the pipes which
open in houses and communicate directly
with the reservoirs of the filthy and disease
laden atmosphere of the great sewers Modern
architecture has studied luxury far more than
sanitary security in the interior arrangements
of our private mansions and hotels. The net
work OF sewer pipes brings the most superb
and elegant residences of the wealthy, by SUBJ
terranean channels into direct atmospheric
connection with the most neglected and deadly
tenements and pesthouses of the city. There
are hundreds Of causes daily at work to set in
motion the air of the sewer and propel it into
the hundred smaller pipes which discharge
their gaseous poison into our halls and
bedrooms, AID thus produce disease
and death. This pneumatic dissemina-
ton of the foul air is accomplished
by the wind blowing into the sewer
openings at the street corners, by the
agency of storm and rain flooding the great
conduits, by the changes in barometric pres
sure, by sudden variations in the temperature
and, indeed, by the ordinary return of day
and night.
1t is a well-known fact that the late illness
of the Prince Of Wales was occasoned by just
this agency, and our Board Of Health have
reported numerous instances in which whole
families have been poisoned, and some fatally,
by inattention to this lurking but fearfully
real danger. Numerous plans have been
suggested for meeting it, and some eminent
sanitarians have gone so far as to pronounce
in favor Of giving up the luxury of water in
our houses. 1t is hardly possible that people
accustomed to this comfort will ever part with
it, and hence the great necessity Of just such an
invention as the one referred to, by which the
peril from the sewer is thoroughly averted.
With an abundance of water to food the pipes
in the walls of our tenements and other dwell
ings, and with this simple and inexpensive
trap, the air breathed by the inmates would
be pure and unexceptionable. II we are to be
invaded by epidemic diseases this fall it is
very desirable that no time should be lost in
applying remedy to the evil pointed out.

The AMERICAN FLAG AND THE CoCKNEYs.
The United States feet, under Admiral Alden,
which was expected at Gravesend from Cowes,
has made quite sensation among the Lon
doners The British, and the Cockneys in par
tcular, are asight-seeing and sensation-loving
people, and they were preparing to make a
rush down the Thames to look at the Stars
and Stripes floating over our squadron
Large crowds" the telegram says, 'are
going from the metropolis to visit the feet,
and steamers have been specially chartered to
accommodate the people" A few years have
produced wonderful change in the English
regarding everything American. They are
becoming very amiable to their cousins
across the Atlantic, particularly since they
have had their own WY in the matter of the
Alabama claims, and as they are making so
much money out Of us in the way of trade.
John Bull is apt to despise the day of small
things and 10 show his hauteur TO small
people, but is extremely polite to the great
whether nations or individuals. A fleet is not
q strange sight in British waters or on the
Thames, but with the starry flag of the great
American republic over one the Londoners are
intensely moved.

We think that the hunters paradise has
been found at last. and that to Mr. Stanley.
the finder of DR.. Livingstone belongs the
famous French hunter of lions, Gerard, says
that for the lion hunter there is no country to
compare with Algeria Gordon Cumming, the
famous Scotch hunter in South Africa, fairly
bewilders the reader with the endless catalogue
of the wild game of all sorts in that quarter,
and Sir Samuel Baker, in the graphic details
of his thrilling adventures among the lions,
elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses, &C., Of Abyss
sinia with his expert Arab sword hunters, puts
in powerful claim for the plains Of Atbaru as
the hunter Garden Of Eden but, in our judg-
ment as hunting ground, that country on
the Southern Gombe River, in Eastern Equato-
rial Africa, between Unyanyembe and Lake
Tanganyika, as described by Stanley, takes the
premium.
Mark what he says Of this wonderful land Of
game 1.-THE glorious park land spreading
north and south of the Southern Gombe, is a
hunters paradise. 1t is full Of game of all
kinds And then he goes on to tell Of its
herds of buffalos, girafes, zebras, pallahs,
water bucks, springboks, black bucks and
koodoos, and of its several varieties of Glands
(antelopes as big as medium sized horse),
and hundreds of smaller varieties and wild
boars and wart hogs, &C., while the river
swarms with crocodiles and hippopotami. On
a grand scale the whole African Continent may
be called the hunters paradise but if, from
all that we have read of the different African
hunting regions, as described by Gerard,
Cumming, Du Chaillu, Baker, Livingstone,
Burton, Speke, Grant and the rest of them,
there is one district which, in its natural
beauties, fertility and abundance and variety
of wild animals, surpasses all the others, it is,
in our Judgment that GLORIOUS park land'
between Unyanyembe and Ujiji, as described
by our successful pathfinder to DR.. Living

REVOLUTIONARY Execution AND PREsDEN.
T1AL MURDERS IN PERU.-News of a very
startling character has reached us from Peru,
by way of Kingston, Jamaica. The advices
are dated on the 9th of July. They inform
us that revolution had been commenced d-the
exact date is not statsd-.,under the lead Of
Senor gutierrez against the existing govern
ment; that 1t was successful, end that the in
surgent chief proclaimed himself Dictator,
and, Under the form of his assumed authority,
assassnated President Balta. counter
revolution was inaugurated Immediately, in
the face of which Gutierrez attempted to es-
cape. He was captured by the people, hanged
to lamppost and his dead body burned.
Many other persons were killed. The less
noted among the deceased were b1sieis,: seiior
Pardo a quiet sort of psMShaM, Mas rr,--o-
claimed President The change was complete
and the insurrection terminated If this is
not democracy run to Thuggee we do not
know what TO soy. The affair was of very
brief duration-a recommendation, perhaps, in
the eyes of the survivors. Its accomplishment
was almost as instantaneous as that Of the
French coup d ett under President Bonaparte,
and it may be that the peoples of the smaller
States initiate Mt times the examples which are
etthem by the great Internationalist represcn-
tatives.

The SINKING OF THE STEAMER BRISTOL. Yes
terday morning dense fog brooded over the
deep at Newport. AS the magnificent Sound
steamer Bristol, which left New York on
Friday night for Fall River, entered Newport
harbor, running very slowly, she collided with
British bark laden with iron. AS soon as the
Bristol could back away from the vessel the
latter sank, without loss of life. Having landed
her Newport passengers and freight the
steamer proceeded on her way towards Fall
River, but after short time was found to be
sinking Captain Simmons, therefore, beached
her on Coal Mine Flats. After her passengers
had been all got of she sank to the guards,
and thus lies at our latest advices. It is not
believed that the injury to her hull is very
serious, and probably she will very soon be
got aaoat repaired and resume her place in
the line. No estimate can yet be made of the
damage, prominent item in which will be the
partial interruption Of the traffic Of the line.
Five hundred and fifty passengers were on
board at the time of the accident, none of
whom were injured.
