con.'d evaporate in funeral notices and private
signs and lamentations, they should send him
some solid, practical testimonial in token Of
gratitude for the pleasure he has given them.
| If this be done Jet it be done quickly, while il
can be of actual effect and give him actual
comfort. Not many departed souls. we fancy,
trouble themselves to look down, like Alexander
Smiths hero, from the ramparts Of heaven to
! earth to find out what people are saying about
them but nothing could be more graceful or
| beautiful than for the children OF this country
to send to their friend, now in his old age and
need, token of their love.
Andersen deserves as no other man does,
that title of the childrcn's friend, the more
because he will never, in all probability, be
dead to them. Like all joyous, child-like ma
lures, there is an immortal quality OF life IN
all he says and does morbid, mclanchoo
men return to the charnel-house and mold az
to their native place; but the Danish poet
and his gay, happy kinsfolk never can cease
to be to us. He will go ont of sight soma
day, but long after he is dust, the little chap
who reads the Hardy Tin Soldier" will
know quite well that the man who tells 1T to
him is above somewhere, telling stories IA
There is too. something oddly contagious.
so to speak, in Andersens genius and charac-
ter; to the man who once has heard his
story there is q slight change in the tone and
color of all the outdoor world thereafter.
His early years gave strange bent to hn
genius. No Hebrew prophet ever discsrned
more clearly the life in inanimate things II;
but the old Jews dwet in q climate OF herco
contrasts. in lonely sOlitudes; their ha0ltihli
ideas were Of the curses and blessings I'M
pending over the people, and of God who
could not be named language and topics
were loftily portioned out to them. But An
dersen spent his childish days in the Kitchen
and shocmakers shop where his father and
mother worked. Outside were the narrow.
slopng streets Of the town of Odense, smell
ing strongly of leather and fish, and opening
into the waters of the Skager Rack, which
shOne red in the evening sun. The boy knew
nothing of dwarfs or genn to people thii
scene but his Imagination was no less p0-
tent and lfe-g giving flame; every paltry OBJ
ect about him lived for him with soul OF
It's own, talked, fought, boosted, suffered as
human being. When the lad was old enough
to tell the stories of these tin soldiers or old
street lamps, the world stopped to listen, as it
always does to a true thing. People long ago
believed that mermaids and birds or fairies
might have adventures but at the touch OF
this boy the mirrors and tables in the draw
| ing-room, the toys in the nursery, even tho
cooks darning-needle and the matches in
their box began to expose their loves and
hates, and private grefs and squabblcs. An
dersen has been emphatically the Enchanter
of Home, and the work of his youth made
childhood for most Of us purer and happier.
Let our children, then, return the Sift to him
in comfort and cheer for his home during the
few days left to him.

Few more instructive political contrasts could bs
found than the simultaneous Kidding and patching
tho District Ring received in Congress on Wednes-
day. The House, by q nearly unanimous vote. or
dered the demolition, root and branch OF the most
corrupt gang of political robbers. with single ex-
ception, that ever fastened itself upon an American
city, while the Senate confirmed Lieut. HOxle as
Mr. Clusss successor in the Board of Public Works,
Mr. Cluss having been removed by the President OF
the United States for telling uncomfortable truths
about the very men who now stand branded as pub
lie pluuderers by the almost undivided voice OF even
a partisan House. The House, in effect, says that
Mr. Cluss told the truth, though it is to be doubted
if he and all the other witnesses put together eI-
hausted the subject, while the Senate in confirming
his successor approves the act of the President. the
intention of which was to proclaim him perjurer.
The explanation is easy. Both President and Senate
display and think they safely display an indf-
ference to tho requirements Of decency which the
Representative, whose conscience grows tender Us
the caucuses approach, cannot afford to initiate.
We pity sincerely the intelligent small boy who
reads the reports carefully and tries to make out on
what principle of equity morality this Admins
tration is run. He must be perpetually balancing
between the conclusion that at Washington virtue
has to be its own reward and astonishinent at tho
queer way in which President Grant distributes the
medals.

Yesterdays murder demands prompt treat
ment Here is ruflan, who has been con-
cerned in similar affairs before, who maddens
himself with drink, then shoots down his
friend, and begins to run muck against all
Corners Such man is to be dealt with according
to law to be sure, but, under the legal forms,
on precisely the same principles with which
we deal with mad dog. Let us have no
silly sentimentality about his not being mas
ter of his reason, and not intending what he
did. The man who deliberately gets
drunk, deliberately makes himself respOn-
sible for his actions while drunk.
We do not believe that hanging is the best
punishment for murder, but while the law
prescribes hanging as the punishment, we be-
lieve in having it very promptly enforced. If
the murderer of yesterday can be tried, con-
victed, sentenced, and hung within six weeks,
it will be a great gain to the peace and good
order of NewYork.

In view of the fact that an effort Is now making
in this city looking to new organization for Attain
tic cable telegraphy, our readers will doubtless be
interested in statement of the improvement pro-
posed in the cable itself. Mr. Bullivant, an English
cable manufacturer brings forward series of state
ments to show that the present form OF Atlantic ca
BILE contains within itself the elements of its own
destruction. He regards the light wires with when
the core is wrapped the cause and origin OF de-
cav which sooner or later-he thinks within an av-
erage Of seven years-involyes the entire cable lie
proposes to substitute simple covering OF tarred
Manila hemp over lighter CORE He claims that by
this mode of manufacture the work can be performed
more quickly-both as to making and laying the
cableand at far less expense and with less danger
of accident He expects to secure much greater di-
rability. as there will be no small wires to produce
rust and decay in the hemp covering, and In case OK
need the cable could be readily recovered and
raised He proposes in short, such economy of con-
sruction and submerson that three OF his cables can
be made and laid at the cost of one OF the presens
kind. If the project results in lowering OF cable
tolls there will be no lack of gratitude on the part Ok
those who are obliged to pay the present rates.

Mr.. Bergh's view of hydrOphobia and OF the
present dog war was doubtless stated IN the
lecture by Mr.. tombstone, delivered last
night before the Liberal Club, and else
where reported. No doubt his state
ment is literally true that intoxicating
liquors kill more people in New-York
alone in a month than hydrophobia kills IN
the United States in a century Nevertheless
in the present alarmed condition of the pub
lie mind. more interest will attach TO the modes
of treatment which he describes.

Concha's movement In advance
had resulted in an almost complete
surrounding Of Estella, and con-
sequently in almost total intereep-
tion of the enemy's line OF retreat
to the strongholds in the Amez-

they made a sudden and desperate
