MIR. PIimso11 out of Order.

Evidently the enthusiastic friend of the
sailors and enemy of floating cofins" has
been INDUCING himself in very wild antics;
for though in the usually decorous House of
Commons that would be shocking as an i'm
propriety which would not seem far out of the
way in some more free and easy parliamentary
bodies, yet for the head of the government
to take so extreme step as to propose gen.
tleman removal from the house, must be &C
cepted as an evidence that provocaton had
gone very far indeed. Mr.. Plimsoll has so
given himself to the subject dealt with in his
bill, is 80 entirely wrapped up in it, that
he has become q man of one idea in the court
sense lie can see nothing else in the world.
He sees in every ship trap to take sailors out
to sea and drown them, and in every shipper
an owner and keeper OF traps. His enthu-
siasm is to break up the traffic in sailors lives
by the machinery of rotten ships and insur-
ance. His object is a good one, and there is
room in the world and abundant occasion
for his activity. But there are also two or
three other things in the world, which he,
like true enthusiast, either ignores or denies.
With the government, however, overloaded
and unable to get through all that it has to
do, some part of the load must go overheard,
and they cannot accept the standard of the en-
thusiast rs to what part it shall be. 1t is, per-
haps, hardly in the range of fair treatment of
the subject to doubt their motives. With us
it would be very readily implied that the
money of the ship owners had been put in the
right place, but if this happens in England it
cannot be shown, and it probably does not
happen. Mr.. Plimsons bill has been crowded
to one side from the necessities of the case,
and it is to be regretted that his enthusiastic
opinion of its urgent necessity has put him in
SO awkward q position.

Rapid Transi,-How Not To ID.

Rapid Transi,--How Not To Do II.
The Rapid Transit Commissioners may
probably be guided as to the proper way in
which to give New York such rapid transit
as the people require by considering the best
and easiest way OF show not to do it." If,
for instance, they should decide to take some
other route than the Third avenue and Bowery
from Harlem Bridge to the City Hall or the
Battery it would be q wide stride in the
wrong direction. If they should propose an
extension OF Mr.. Vanderbilts Harlem and Hud-
son River railroads to the City Hall or the
Battery it would be another wide stride in the
wrong drection-wide enough, indeed, to
carry US away from real rapid transit for the
next twenty years, if not to kill the project
outright. 1t will be ell very well for the
Greenwich Street Elevated Railroad Company,
in accordance with its new privileges under
the law of last session, to build O
continuation of their road west, and
to run a branch over to the Forty
second street depot. This will accommodate
the residents on the west side and those who
live Ia Westchesier county. But an extension
vi WI NuAucAohVe HelBh1 anu pussehBeE
roads to the City Hall or the Battery, while
it would, no doubt, be convenient and profit
able to the railroad magnate, would be a
swindle ON the people Of New York, who
hope for rapid transit for city travel to en-
able them to get to Thirteth street and 10
every street beyond that point up to Harlem
Bridge at five and six cents fare by trains
running every three or four minutes and
doing the through distance in twenty OF
twenty five minutes.
How not to build rapid transit is easily
learned. A study of the points may enable
the Commissioners to. best discover how tc
make their work O success.

ROUGH TIMES AT QbARrsBuRa MAN
SHor-A good deal Of excitement was
created last Thursday night on the arrival
OF news that man hadlbeen shot at Quartz
burg at about eight o'tiock that evening.
From From the many conflicting rumors in cir
cplation we give the following as perhaps
the most truthful version Of the affair :
JOAN Gallagher andlJim; Combs met on the
street and wrangled' over the settlement Of
some little businesssaccount Hard names
were exchanged, and'a blow passed, fol-
lowed BY apistol shot wounding Gallagher
in the back. Combs disappeared on horse,
and although Jess Bradford and Jack Cor
man went in immediate pursuit, he has
not yet been found. DR.. Shelter was called
to attend Gallagher and had him brought
over here on Friday. The Doctor says the
wound is not dangerous, and that Gala.
CHER will be all right in a few days. The
ball entered near the back bone and ranged
downward.

MARK TWAIN, in the August AAantsc,;.
mourns over the diminished length Of
the Mississippi, in this strain: The
Mississippi between Cairo and New
Orleans was 1875 miles long l76.
years ago. It was l,l80 after the
cutoff of 1922. It was l,040 after
the American Bend cutoff. (some Is or
II years ago.) It has lost 81 miles
since. Consequently its length is on
~ 973 miles at present.
In the space Of 17e years the Low
er Mississippi has shortened itself 24S
miles. That is an average of trifle~
over one mile and third per year
Therefore, any calm person, who IS
not blind or idiotic, can see that in the,
Old Oolitic Silurian period, just mill
ion years ago next November, the
Lower Mississippi river was upwards,
Of | 900, 900 miles long, and stuck out
over the Gulf Of Mexico like q fishing
rod. And by the same tokensany per-
son can see that TAO years. from now
the Lower Mississippi viii be only .
mile and three-quarters long; and Cob
70 and New Orleans will have joined
their streets together, and be p'od-
ding comfortably along under q single
Mayor and a mutual Board OF Alder
linen. There is something fascinating
about science. Che gets such whole
sale returns Of conjecture out of such
a trifling investment of fact.
