Hot Weather and the Health Of tn,
City.

Hot Weather and the Health Of the
Summer is fairly upon US. Trees which
fortnight ago were bare are now in full leaf,
and ladies who wore furs are now clad in
grenadines It would not be amiss if our
almanacs should tell us to "look out for seeds
of various diseases about these days" Fierce
sunshine, with such reasonable winds as the
farmers welcome to bring on their corn, will
in q very short time distil poisonous vapors
from the standing pools Of filthy water and
heaps Of fermenting refuse too much
Astounding in our streets. Il would
be unjust to the Street Cleaning and
Health Departments to assert that our
streets are in an exceptionally filthy and dam
gerous condition, but candor compels the
admission that especially in the narrow,
crowded streets of the lower wards, there is
urgent need for the broom and the dirt cart.
A few days of hot weather such as has now
set in will bring to the public nose unpleasant
evidence of official neglect, unless with this
advent Of Summer we have corresponding
increase of activity in the removal of the
putrefying deposits. Earnest work begun at
once in cleansing and purifying the city may
prevent many deaths and maintain through
the Summer q fair state of health.
Our new officials should be wide awake to
these facts and not let the grass grow under
their feet. Now is the time when the city
needs earnest work. Let the new brooms be
put in vigorous motion. Let the filth be
promptly removed, and while the Summer
lasts let us see what virtue there is in frequent
and thorough street washing If cleanliness
kept New Orleans free from disease New York
should not neglect duty SO obvious and SO
easily performed.

pany are accepted The government of New
foundland is willing to abandon its pre-emp-
ton right if the Atlantic Gable Company win
give up its monopoly. The offer as made by
the government of Newfoundland is fair, and
it will be we'll if the Gable Company learns
wisdom in time. Next year we ought to have
two additional cables and the rates reduced at
least one-sixth. t,.. ..s..fs

Captain Tyson and his party from the
Polaris arrived at the Washington Navy Yard
yesterday, in the steamer Frolic, detailed from
this port to st. Johns, N. F., to take them
down. The object of the Secretary Of the
Navy is q thorough examination of these
Arctic voyageurs in reference TO the steamer
Polaris, her adventures toward the North
Pole the death of Captain Hall, and the
causes of the apparent desertion by the ship
of Captain Tyson and his party on the ice
A Board, which seems to have been informally
constituted, consisting of the Secretary,
General Myer. Commodore Reynolds and
Professor Baird, immediately began An ex-
animation of Captain Tyson, the re-
suit of which has not been made public.
Doubtless the investigation viii result in
some very interesting disclosures; but it
is probable that nothing material will be
elected by it which has not already been
made known through the columns of the
HERALD. This investigation, however, is
eminently proper, as an official inquiry
into the strange, eventful history" of
the Polaris, and of the marvellous drifting
cruise of Captain Tyson and his party
fifteen hundred miles on an ice foe, through
all the horrors of the storms and cold and
darkness of an Arctic Winter. Meantime,
we hope that the project of search for the
Polaris has not been utterly abandoned by
Secretary Robson.

The African Slave Trade and the
Chinese.

Ch10oDos
Acable telegram informs as that the London
Times advocates the immigration Of Chinese
to the east coast of Africa as means of
securing the abolition Of the slave trade. This
measure has been discussed for many years,
and has even attracted the serious attention
of the viceroy Of Egypt. His Highness. in
building the Soudan Railway, will need .
class of labor which he can hardly find in his
own dominions; and if he profits by our own
experience in constructing the Pacific Rail-
way, when ", 900 Chinese were employed with
the happiest results, he may acquire valuable
and permanent population of thrifty pro-
ducers. Notwithstanding the new political
problems which are likely to grow out Of the
importing of the Chinese to our Pacific coast
they have proved docile, law-abiding colonists.
II they can do SO well in America there is no
reason why they should not do equally
well in Egypt and along the eastern coast of
Africa, thus supplying from the great Chinese
reservoir of labor, containing 400, 000, 600 Of
souls, industrious hands wherewith to develop
new and ambitious powers. .e ss.
IL ls dOuDuul, however the experiment.
of colonizing the eastern coast Of Africa with
Chinese would succeed They are by no
means resolute and hardy settlers, capable of
forwarding that aggressive civilization neces-
sary in Africa. They would come in contact
with bold and interruptions slave traders and
Moslems, and the result might be war of
races, and the massacres Of Djeddah and Da-
mascus might be repeated We are of the
opinion that if the Chinese should go to Africa
at all they should enter by Egypt and ad-
vance to the interior with the railway and
steamboat, protected by the strong arm of the
government. Whatever may be the result Of
this agitation, it is an encouraging sign to be-
hold serious movement to utilize the redun-
dant peoples who crowd the lands of Eastern
Asia.

roads have been built There is as much gen.
eral and widespread content in Sweden, not.
withstanding the long Winters and the almost
Arctic temperature of so much of its climate,
as in any country of the world Beggary il
unknown, and 80 thoroughly have the people
been educated that ninety seven per cent Of the
children attend school.
We confess these annals have beauty to us
more enduring than any glory that nations
may have secured from their Napoleons and
Wellingtons and Fredericks the Great 1t is
more glorioas for nation to have ninety
seven per cent Of children at school and to
mine iron that the world must necessarily buy
than it is to have jena or Sadowa written on
the torn banners Of its soldiery. So far, then,
as this new King Oscar continues to realize
the traditions of his house, SO far as he aban-
dons the foolish dreams of his brother,
and follows the teachings of the shrewd
old soldier who founded his line, SO
far will it be we'll for his peace Of
mind and well for his people. We have not
yet attained that point of enlightenment when
we shall build monuments for the heroes of
peace. But it must come in time. Kings
must learn sooner or later that there is no
worse use to which their subjects can be put
than to lead them out to murder. It is q good
sign that we have no holy alliance against
republican France or Spain. In our grand
fathers times an English army would be
marching through Flanders or French
column, under the Duo d. Angouleme. would
be crossing the pass at Fontarabia or Ronces-
wales to suppress the esprit of revolution. :"
The spirit that prompted these anti-republican
invasions is dead but the spirit of revolution
still lives. In Spain it has given us repub-
lie with stainless banner-in Sweden it has
given us kings who teach the children to read.
To us in America Sweden and Norway must
always possess an unusual interest. But few
of our readers are, perhaps, aware of the
large and constant flow of emigration from
the dominions of King Oscar to the United
States. In 1869 as many as 10000 Scandina-
Wan souls came to America. There has been
no year since then in which the number has
not exceeded 10000. And yet the popula-
ton Of the whole kingdom is not much larger
than our Middle States alone. And what is
better we receive no emigrants who are more
desirable than the Swedes and Norwegians
They have every quality we crave in
the men and women who are to
be the parents of future American gener-
ations-temperance, economy, industry,
desire for an independent, agricultural life.
They are welcome, as their bAthers will be
welcome, whenever they choose to come.
Their presence in our citizenship gives us
deeper interest in any event that concerns the
mother nation, and justifes us in the express
sion of our warmest wishes for the prosperity
of tho new King and his halidom, and Of
hope, to use the words of the venerable arch
bishop in pouring the consecrating oil upon
his head, that he may so govern country and
kingdoms that his reign will rebound to the
praise and honor of God, strengthen right
and justice, and do good to the land and its
people"

hopes faded away, and he took to poetry and
the fine arts and intemperance, and died o
young man--of disappointment, we think, as
much as anything else, at the failure of his
people to appreciate the splendor of his mission.
Sweden and Norway have had q splendid,
but more recently an honest and safe career.
No nations in Europe have history more
ancient and renowned. We of the English
speaking blood can go back to the time when
our ancestors were savage kernes and gallow-
glasses, and we find then that the Scandina-
VANS were masters of the seas; that the Dane
had conquered our English shores, and that
no legends were more interesting than those
which told of the valor Of the men who came
from Norway ''over the foam" Our early
literature is stamped with the deeds Of the
Scandinavian warriors, and we remember that
il was for victory over the Norwegian lord
that Macbeth was made Thane Of Cawdor but
all attempts to regain this splendor have been
disastrous Charles Kill, in his meteoric
career. did Sweden infinite harm in his extrava-
CANT designs, and if the policy of Gustavus
w., the last prince of worthy line, had con-
tinued, Sweden would be to-day as Poland
or Ireland. What its history lacks, therefore,
in that fashion of splendor which men see in
Rosbach and Leuthen and Austerlitz, in
Blenheim and Waterloo and Sedan, it has now
in q more modest and enduring way Its
mines have been worked, its iron has become
staple commodity. 1t calls the world to
come to 1t for lumber. II tells England that
when the coal supply fails she may come with
assurance to her exhaustlsss deposits. Bail

The Goodrich Murder.

After near four months search,
the murderess of Charles Good
rich, of New York, is at last
found in the person of a lady
lover who confesses that she
killed him because she loved
him. This appears wonderful
at first thought, but no more
wonderful than how it is posi-
BILE that goods can be bought at
such extremely low prices at the
green brick 'front.'; but such
ceases to be wonderful when ex-
planned. In the first place, by
buying for cash we buy cheap
er, our discounts amounting to
something handsome in the
course of a year; secondly, by
selling for cash we make no
bad debts and incur no loss;
thirdly, by selling the large a.
mounts each year that we do,
we can well afford to sell at q
small profit. Come and see us
as we are desperately in ear
nest and mean what we say.
