The College Regatta.
A SUCCESSFULD DAY AND LARGE
ATTENDANCE.
Yale Wins the Freshman Race.
The University Race,
YALE WINS I'm l6 80,

BOWdOin Comes i'm as No. 2.

SPRINGFIELD. July 1.-THE regatta to-day
was success in every detail. The weather
was cool, and although it sprinkled occasionally,
things generally were conducive to sustaining
the GOOD humor Of the large crowds that flock
ed by rail and carriage to the scene of contest
on the Connecticut five miles south of the city.
The water was as smooth as could be desired,
and there was nothing that the most fastidious
oarsman could object to in any respect.
The Freshmen race, timed to begin at 8, did
not come off till Az when a successful start
was made, the Harvard at first taking the lead
but she was soon left in the lurch by the Yale
and Amherst and Yale finally passed the stake
boat ahead, gaining the race in 1853, the Am
herst coming in next in 1884, and Harvard
bringing up the rear in 2034.
The starr in the University race was made
about o'clock. 1t was hotly contested af-
faIr, and 1t first appeared that Harvard had
won, and by mistake the colors were adjudged
to her The error soon became evident, howev-
er, and Yale was finally pronounced winner.
Time of Yale 1859; Wesleyan 17.01; Harvard
I'LL; Dartmouth 17.271; Amherst 1872; Co.
lumbia II 53f; Bowdoin 18.07a; Massachusetts,
Agricultural Is. 194; Cornell 1924; Trinity 1912
Williams 10 25a.
The positions drawn were as follows: Am
herst 1; Massachusetts Agricultural 2; Yale 3;
Harvard 4; Columbia 5: Wesleyan 6; Williams
Z; Dartmouth 8; Trinity 8; Bowdoin 10; Cor
nell IL.
The Boston Globe says of the positons 1t
was noted as an odd coincidence that the Yale
place was side by side with Harvard, also that
the Amherst Intellectual" had the next place
to the ''Aggies" The positions of Yale and
Harvard, in respect to the current, are consid-
cred best of all, while Bowdoin and Cornell
with the tenth and eleventh positions, will fare
the worst
The Two-lz,iIe Foot Race.
New YORK, July ia special from Spring

was won by Bowie of Canada, Phillips of Cor
nell University being second and half be

Postal Cards.
The postal card manufacturers are now ship
ping between seven aud eight hundred thousand
postal CARDS daily, and Will soon increase the
number to one million. There is an ample sup
ply Of paper on hand to turn out million and
quarter daily, and of better quality than
formerly. The estimate of the Postmaster
General was that about 100, 900. 900 cards would
be wanted this year. Up to this time, less than
three months since they were issued, over So
100000 have been ordered, and the probabilities
are that the consumption of this year will be
double the estimate Thus far none of the
small towns in the country have been supplied,
it having bee n as much as the department could
do to satisfy the demands of the large cities.

THE STOLEN INDIAN BoNDs.-Jacob Thomp-
son now explains. He says he did not steal the
Indian bonds missed by the Department of the
Interior, while he was its secretary, but that
they were taken by clerk who confessed the
theft and was discharged therefor. This story
disagrees with version of the affair we have
heard from a more reliable source. A clerk in
the department, who was engaged In making
up an official statement, desired to see the
bonds that he might be assured that they were
all right. Secretary Thompson endeavored to
satisfy him with the statement that they were
in his possession, but the clerk was persistent
in his demand to see them, and Mr.. Thompson
promised to produce them. A few days after
he resigned and became rebel without fulfill
ing his promise, land the story that he now tells,
in the light of these facts, makes him partic,
ipant in the theft.

To BEAT BUTLER.-The Springfield Repub-
lican says that the idea Of setting up Col. Cbas.
G. Green on the pedestal Of a regular democrat
ic nomination, and then inviting all those ele-
ments of decency and m oralty in Massachu-
sets, that are repealed by Gen. Butler to close
around him in serried phalanx, is a little too
funny for anything. Col. Green is an eminent
ly respectable, amiable, likable gentleman; he
would no doubt make very fair and entirely
honest and creditable Governor for the Com
inonwealth; but if he runs for thai Office this
year, he will simply lend himself as principal
figure in the Butler side show. There are two
facts which Col Greene and Democrats of his
stamp cannot ponder too thoughfully. The
man who does the serious running against But
Ter this year, will be man who voted for Ulys-
ses s. Grant last fall That is fact number one

pected to be present to select and rent lots.
The ground will be put into good condition in
season for the fall camp meeting, and though
it will take some time and money to develop il
as the plan coneemplates, It's natural capacities
| are such that little outlay will make it both

Mr.. EDIToR:-A recent contributor to one of
the western weekles discusses the usual incon-
sistency between the theory and the practice of
religious papers; he deprecates that separation
of the business and editorial departments,
whereby one is made irresponsible for the acts
of the other; and scouts the policy of lifting up
humanity with the right hand and thrusting it
down with the left, preaching the gospel of
Righteousness, and practising the law.ef gain"
Pointing, then, directly to the puff of a certain
nostrum in the advertising columns of the very
journal addressed, he goes on as follows:
To offer for sale any article whose use will
evidently injure greater number than it will
benefit, is an immoral act. That such is the eff
feet OF patent medicines is a notorious fact
among intelligent men, and no business mana
ger should be able to offer the excuse of ignor-
ance. A person of sense cannot read the prom
ises contained in the advertisement to which /
refer, (which is one of the better sort) without
seeing at glance that it is an attempt to de-
ceve.
1t, however, it spoke only the truth, and were
composed of the very Ingredients to which 1t
lays claim, still the assertion would noid good,
that it must injure far more than it helps.
o. w. Holmes laid down the principle to a
class of Graduates in medicine, that every drug
administered does a certain amount OF harm,
and that a dose should never be given unless
the ultimate good would more than counter
balance the immediate injury. To make
such decision correctly requires an intimate
acquaintance both with the medicine prescribed
and the patient to whom it is given. Now Mr..
F., however much he may know about his
"P-n S-p," is, of necessity, utterly ignorantof
the individual to whom he SO confidently recon-
mends it, The folly of his treating by panacea,
''dropsy, debility, humors, dyspepsia c,-each
of which diseases has a large variety of causes
would seem to be apparent to the unprofess
ional. There is guessing enough, in all con-
science, by the family physician, without the
sick stalking their health in distant lottery
with mau at the wheel whose sole object is to
make money. The only point upon which pur-
chasers can safely rely is that to the patentee
the ingredients are cheap and the profits enor-
nous. Beyond this, the best to be hoped for
is, that the compound will prove comparatively
harmleSs-and superlatively impotent!
If, on the other hand, it possesses an element
of power, which, by a remarkable coincidence
of chances, works one cure in ninety and nine
cases the same force, misdirected, does nothing
but harm.
The matter is plain enough to any
one who does not view the question through
his pocket"
Although the article quoted was aimed es
pecially at religious papers," it applies to ev-
cry journal that would be moral and 'respecta-
ble." We commend it to the notice of all edi
tors and publishers. n. E. b.

CLEVELAND, O., July 1.-THE Industrial

was adopted, emphaticallv protesting against
the Importation of cheap labor; that we recog-

and capital, and that this labor congress recon-
mend the enactment of efficient laws for the
protection and encouragement of cooperative
associations in the several States. The COM
mittee on arbitration reported the following,
which was adopted.
Whereas it is evidently necessary to devise a
mere peacpable plan of settling the difficulties
between employer and employee than by strikes,
they being usually detrimental to the interests
OF both parties, we recommend the adoption
OF the following;
ResntUed, that it is deemed advisable by this
congress that all unions adopt the system of ar
bitratlon, aud that all members of the industri-
al classes, be urged to cast their votes for no
man, unless he be pledged to use his vote
and influence toward the adoption of laws MAX

ReSolUed, that delegates from the numerous
unions at the CONGRESS be requested to urge up
