TIE best Massachusetts newspapers
are urging the people to attend the
political caucuses this Fall, and to in
sist upon having nominations which
thoy can conscientiously support.
Everybody knows that 1t is by the
manipulation OF these primaries that
party leaders keep things snug and
comfortable for their own purposes.
The theory OF the caucus is excellent
In practice It Is usually the convenient
Instrument Of the designing, who wish
to have party lines drawn strictly tor
their own purposes. It thus happens
that in many towns two or three clever
men run the machine for their own
selfish ends and such Is the super
stitlous reverence with which party

MEDICAL CoLLRaE SEcRETs.-Tha
University Of Pennsylvania In Phila-
delphis has recently been purchased
for a postofice. Yesterday it was Wis
tied by the City Board Of Health. who
found in the northern portion OF the
cellar two compartments, In each Of
which were six deep vaults, all Of
which, except one, were filled with
human remains. From n vault not
wholly decomposcd the cover was re-
moved, showing a human body resting
on top OF a mass Of flesh, bones etc.,
with which the pile was we'll nigh
composed. Alamp which was lowered
into the pit was extingulshed BY the
foul air. The party then made a tour
through the building. Human remain:
met the gaze everywhere; arms and
feet were scattered about the building
In profusion. Human beings remain:
seemed to be scattered about the struc.
ture from garrett to cellar. In an
apartment on the upper floor was
found the lower half Of a female skele'
ton, with much Of the flesh, muscle,
etc., still attached. 1t is said that
some years ago, when the authorities
Of the University made q contract te
have cleaned one Of tho pits, the con-
tractor was paid $1,000. and he found
1t almost impossible to keep the men
at work until 1t was completed, even
by paying out nearly four hundred
dollars more than he received.

GENERAL ITEMS.

Tns police authorities Of Nsw York
City decline 70 send . regulation for
the man Irving. who q few days since
gave himself up to the San Francisco
police and accused himself Of being
one Of the Nathan murderers. They
say that Irving has a wife and family
living In. New York, that 1t would
probably b Impossible to convict him
Of any crime. that It would cost $1,000
to get him over to New York and try
him and they do not wish to incur
such useless expense. They disbelieve
his story, do not think he had courage
enough to commit the murder, and be-
lieve that his object Is to get a free
pass to New York. a conclusion which
upon tho whole would appear we'll
grounded. Irving Is evidently a hard
case. and the New York police have
no wish to DO bothered with him. The
San Francisco authorities have POSI-
bly, got hold Of a small elephant.
The London Times has an editorial
on the iron question, the burden OF

West Indies. That country contested
under immense national disadvantages
but has beaten England In spite OF
these. England can not afford to lie
idle or sleep away her time and waste
her money In competing with the
thrifty, active and Intelligent nations.
The Times thinks much Of the blame
should fall upon the strikers aud trade
unions.
The Republicans Of Erie county, O.,

who favored the measure, and the
President who signed 1t, are guilty OF

SOME Western newspapers are strong

face Of actual danger. To supply this deficit,
! his vanity WAS brought sometimes into requisi-
ton. II was manifested at 6traabourg, where
he appeared before tho garrison dressed in the
/ HISTORIC costume Of Napoleon l., expecting to
oyerawe them into m immediate acceptance OF
the Napoloonic Idea: His landing at Boulogne
with ffty-three followers, and his elevation OF
the tag With the wooden eagle above it, was
simply melo-dramatic affair, hardly above the
dignity, and almost az laughable, as tho disposi-
tion Of theatrical army upon the stage. His
ride through the streets Of Paris, during the
surrounded by stat officers gorgeously equipped,
after the manner Of his uncle, was only spec
tacle which, he had the vanity to believe, would
80 impress the Parisians that they would At once
acknowledge bis idea. Mingled with his
aophiBtry vanity, and strategy in politics, there
WAS marked vein Of ehrewduess. His con-
lecture that, because The people elected him
President by a largo majority, after he had
twice attempted to soizo the throne, therefore
they would be willing to accept the monarchical
form Of government, was we'll founded, and it
WAS shrewd sequence: to this conjecture that
he managed to got himself elected Emperor by
alarger majority than he had received for the
Presidency, aud ostensibly became Emperor by
the will Of the French people, in addition to the
grace Of God. His Bhrowdness was also mani
tested in the fact that, while he could
take the uitialory steps Of plot with great skill
and carry it forward to tho emergency in the
presence of which he might quail, he always
chose for his associates those who could execute
what ho had planned In the earlier stages Of
his ca1cor he had not been wise enough to do
this; but his vanity received such check at
Straabourg and, Boulogne that he learned the
lesson well; and tho Coup d Elat did not fail. In
tho Frnuco-G herman war ho failed, because ho
had underestimatcd tho power Of the Germans,
and because, although ho had men associated
with him who could execute, they could not e1-
ecute as well as tho mon around Bismarck and
Frederick William. He was overmatched both
In Drawn and brains.
It is as yet too early to estimate clearly what
effect the death Of Napoleon may have upon
the politics OF France, except that it will un-
doubtedly encourage Republicanism aud
strengthen II. Thiors. But il. the French aro
not utterly blind, it would seem as il they
might now detect for all time the failacy Of tie
kapoleonic ldes, and perceive the disastrous re-
sults which must always ensue from ita adop-
tion.. Tho only thing which can bring perrna-
nent prosperity to France is education. Igno-
rance is the most costly thing in this world, and
France has paid a higher price for it than any
othor civilized nation

quite likely that the project will be aban-
doned." He refers to the November
storm. which created ead havoc at Duluth,
and to the recent change in the management Of
the North Pacific Railroad as preasging the
abandonment of Duluth as q harbor. Tho
abandonment OF Duluth, however, willnot neces-
earily make Superior the harbor Of the Northern
Pacific Railway. It may yet be found that Bay
field, which is only SO miles csat Of this point,
has advantages for tho principal harbor that will
counterbalance the objection arising from its
distance from the head Of the lake.

As the territory of operations grew moro circum
scribed marching became slower; the roads be
cana blocked up with baggage, which could mo-
be kept in the rear, out OF the way, for fear o.
its capture By the German cavalry. On t1t
30th, MacA1ahon could lear nothing from
Failly and his portion Of tho army, and, OF
searching for him, found him at S in the
morning at Beaumont. Ho ordered him te
cross the Mouge Immediately, but Fai1ly
disobeyed. Six hours later, when they might
have been all over the river and layo destroyed
the bridge; tho Germans camo up with them,
while they were at breakfast, and routed them.
On tho next day, the Germans advanced upon
the railroad bridge near Sedan. MacMahon sent
an engineer train to blow up tho bridge. The
engineers got out ct tho right spot, but the
train went on with the tools and powder, and,
before moro powder could bo got to
them, the Germans had tho bridge, and
commanded tho approach to hfezieres.
On the 18Th Of September, MacMahon
was wounded and rendered incapable Of COM
mand, and there woro now, therefore. two inca
pables-limsolf and Napoleon. Ie handed over
his command to Ducrot. Whi1o the lattor was
trying to escape by way Of Mezieres, lie was
suspended Ly Wimpfren, by tho authority Of the
Minister Of War, Napoleon seeming to have no
authority ut all. Wimp1on ordered D. movement
in tho other direction, tho Germans closed in in
the direction Of Mczieres, and, as Du-
crot's orders had made it impossible
for Wimpfren to moye in the other
direction, slowly but surely the Germans
hommed them in, and surrender vas an inevita-
b1e necessity.
Tho burden Of the disaster ut Sedan has been
thrown upon Napoleon, but the evidence OF
Ma1shal MacAIahon makes it clear that, from
the timo he was invested with the command at
Chalons, Napoleon was neithor more nor
less than a passive spectator, drifting
hero and there as the tides OF
battle carried " him, and eventually
fn1ling victim to the sluggishness, il not
pcrddy, Of Bazaine, and tho conflict Of orders
between Paris and MacA1ahon, which wasted
two whole months, and accomplished nothing.
From the day on which Mac1Iahon assumed
command down to the surrender, ho WAS simply.
moving the pawns on the board to escape, not
to attack, while the leading pieces were station
ary. He moved in reference to then; thoy did
not move at all. They wore easily invested
and ho uas soon l,ommod in cor
ncr. The history Of: this campaign brings
into strong light Napoleon's inof6ciency when
broug ut into an emergency wheso bold and de-
ciei9e action must be taken ut onco. Instead Of
rieing, as Napoleon I. would have done, equal to
it, he seems to have yielded to his theory of
fatalis1n, or was paralyzed by the magnitude OF
tho difficulties before him. The defence which
France made after Sedan was far more respecta-
ble than the operations which preceded it.
