late Minister at Vienna. Differing from him
as to the policy to be pursued by the General
Government, we have nevertheless thought 1t
desirable that his experience at the Vienna
Exposition should be utilized, and we take
pleasure in laying his suggestions before the
country. Probably the most startling OF them Is
that of postpOning the Exposition until we can
really be ready for ia remedy which If it
were to be adopted would have been better II
adopted earlier.
Our letter from Saratoga Lake, where now
twelve college and four freshmen crews are
collected, gives a bright picture OF the work
that takes place there every day. The flag
system, intended to prevent fOulng in the
race, marking out a lane for each boat TO
travel in, is liked by the Oarsmcn. From the
succinct description which our correspondent
gives of the Cornell crew, it appears that
Ithaca will not rest its faith this year upon
the individual strength of its representatives.
The men are taking pains to acquire good
form in rowing, although they are not among
| those who have selected the English stroke.
| They may fairly be accounted among the good
crews who are to make this years contest
memorable in boating annals.
The Independence Day Grafton delivered in
Washington by Mr.. Frederick Douglass, OF
which we have an abstract to-day, contains
some practical suggestions which may be COM
! mended to the consideration of thoughtful
colored people. Mr.. Douglass is tired OF
seeing his race appear in the attitude OF
| mendicants and is PANIED in view OF
the extent to which real CT pretended
friends have profted by their confldlng
disposition and comparative helplessness. Inc
remedy may be found in industry, educa-
! ton. and self-reliance. Mr.. DOuglasss denun-
citation of the men who have grown rich on
the credulity of the negro is none too severe
| and the instances he cites are timely and per
! tinent.
Committee of the Council of POLITICAL
| Reform have been considering the LABOR
question, and from their report it would appear
that the subject has been looked at with a view

Hearty approval is given to the reduction
of the wages of the laborers employed

down the expenses of the city departments
the reduction of the often excessive salaries

A duplex negro is the latest anatomical wonder IN
the Southern papers. He has acquired such powers
of sef-contortion that in exhibiting his dual organ-
cation to a Wheeling DOCTOR he dropped his RIBS one
foot and the doctor felt another set underneath the
first. lie then announced that he would throw his
heart down the same distance. The steth0scope was
placed over it, and it was shown to DO breathing
regularly in its right place lie gave his body jerk,
and the heart was beating foot below, as he had
promised After two minutes interval the active
organ returned, as the negro said it would Kill him
to keep it there longer. He dropped it again the
same distance on the right SIDE and held it there for
the same length of time Then he stopped Its beat
ing altogether, and for the space OF two minutes
there was no pulse in all his body When this re-
markable child of nature began to manipulate his
ribs and do several things with his internal organs
still more remarkable, some gentlemen present

who wrote the story.

Summer warmth is too apt to relax the hand OF
Charity. Now that there are no more keen winds
and biting cold, the few who ever consider the con-
dtion of their neighbor think that Nature with its
prodcality of heat, has driven relief societies from
their occupation. They forget that Summer brings
in its tram evils different in kind but scarcely III de-
gree from those of Winter The poor are packed,
layer on layer in tenementhouses, where their very
proximity breeds dirt and disease noisome smells,
warmed into life by the heat, carry with them the
seeds of death the decaces that are necessarles to
those Of moderate purse are beyond the reach
of those to whom all things are luXuries. These
unfortunates suffer all the trials of the seyerer
season. except that bitter cold is replaced by scorch-
ing heat All seasons to the poor hard, and there
is in this plenty of work for charity TO do. Those
who help to provide proper accommodations in hos
ptas who give the poor occasional breath OF free
air and glimpse Of green earth, who send bunch
of simple flowers or cooling fruits to the bedside OF
the sick and dying are learning again the blessed
ness of giving.

Of the recent exposure OF some spiritual
istic phenomena which he had accepted,
will be heard of with regret by
wdo circle Of friends and admirers, OF whom
very few have the least sympathy with spIntuaiism'
or, in general, with spiritualists. Mr.. owen was
man of singular purity and sincerity of char
acter. His intellectual integrity was as I'M
questionable as his literary skill, and his converse
tiou was a. fascinating as his writing. Few of
his friends attached much importance to his judg-
ment. and most of them gently laughed at the
strange notions to which he devoted SO much time
during his later years.

The absurd if not criminal mistakes of the
Ohio Democracy have given new Importance
to the political campaign now at its hight in
that State. A careful correspondent, whose
letter is printed on our third page, sketches
some of the salient features of the situation,
and reflects the hopes and fears of the leaders
of both parties. The Democrats seem to be
pretty badly demoralized, and the confidence
of the Republicans that their candidates will
be elected is by no means baseless.

Suppose that on Monday powder factory had ex-
ploded somewhere within the Federal limits, and be-
tween one and two thousand persons had been klIe,
wounded, burned, and otherwise injured. WHAT Il
cry of horror would have arisen from every home III
the land and what endless discussion would grow out
of so frghtful an accident. Suppose there had been
a riot with an equal number of casualties, what u
thrill Of indignation would have CONFUSED our
whole country Militia would have been called out,
the most vigorous measures would have been tSken
to end the disturbance, and the offenders would
have been punished without lenency Suppose
there had been an unexpected invasion OF our
territory, either from the Mexican or
Canadian border; that few thousand
citizens had hastily banded themselves
together had gone forward to meet the foe, and lost
from their ranks the number named above. There
would have been blaze of patriotic excitement like
that which made memorable the early days of 6l.
From New-York to San Francisco the drum would
have beat the call to arms, and the youth OF
America would have leapcd forward to re-
spond. Well, there neither explosion,
nor riot, nor invasion, but on Monday last
fully this number of people must have been killed
wounded, and injured by the careless use OF ire
arms and fireworks of all kinds. The number OF
accidents of which the police and newspapers took
cognzance amounted in this city and brooklyn alone
to nearly 1OO and there are no doubt, cities In when
the proportion may be largely increased. Some OF
these hurts will prove fatal, Others will disiig-
ure their victims for life; all will doubt
less occasion great suffering. 1t is easy TO
wonder but hard to say why this wanton
disregard of human life and happiness should con-
tinue, without any reasonable pretext and without
any defined patriotic purpose. Our mode OF ceie-
brating our birthday is barbarc in more senses than
one.

TO AVOID BEING SWINDLED.

We expect to read this year the usual
number of notices of farmers and others
being swindled by patent-right men, by
vendors of wonderful secrets, by travel
ing agents, by men selling goods by SAM
pie, etc. Simply learning how to avoid
one trick is unimportant. There are,
however, general principles which will,
if borne in mind and acted upon, almost
always protect one fromloss They may
be briefly stated thus
Never listen to any proposition which
is commended to you as giving oppor-
tunities for making money dishonesty or
by selling an article for much roore than
its worth. The man who proposes to
have you defraud others, will cheat you
if he has a good opportunity.
As rule, when stranger proposes to
sell you any article at very much less
than its value, it is safe to decline buy
ing, unless you are good judge of the
article.
Never make q purchase or contract
with stranger when his assurance is the
only evidence you have of value.
Never sign paper presented by
stranger without reading it and being
sure you understand its character.
AS rule, avoid engaging in enter
prises, however attractive they may APP
pear, if entirely outside your usual bust
ness.
Buy of and sell to men whom you
know personally, or who are engaged in
regular permanent business, whenever
this can be done.
Other things being equal, buy and
sell In the market nearest home Vest

IN INCIDENT IN CHARLOTTE CUSH-
MANS EARLY LIFE


More than fifty years ago, boy, some
16 or II years of age, was at work one
afternoon on the old bingham Station
Packet" which will be remembered by
some of our citizens as for years occupy
ing berth at the head of the dock where
State street block now stands. 1t was an
afternoon when there was no school, and
q girl, somewhat younger than the boy
alluded to, was passing the half-holiday
in play near the store of her father. Ven
turing too near the edge of the dock,
she missed her footing and fell overheard.
1t being high water at the time, she dis
appeared. No one saw her fall, but, by
accident, the lad noticed some bubbles in
the water, and, having just before seen
the little miss on the wharf, instantly
took III the situation. Springing into
the water, he succeeded in bringing her
to the surface, and calling for aid, she was
taken on shore and restored to her parent.
This act of heroism saved the life of one
who has become the most distinguished
American actress of the age, lady as
highly respected for her moral worth and
irreproachable private character as she is
renowned all over the world for her emf
nent histrionic achievements. Her res
cuer is to-day one of our most estimable
citizens, and less than year ago &C

tleman. Me find UNI plenty sebben-

"That will do said the gentleman,

hunts game of that kind is sure to be
hungry" The child of the desert took
tn proffered coin and grimly trod away
without word of thanks. He went not
in the direction of those places where
eatables are exposed for sale, but laid
his course for the nearest undergrad,
where q group of members of his tribe,
seated upon an old blanket, were
manipulating the pictured papers of the
white man. There, planting himself on
his launches, he took deadly, deliberate
aim, and fred one more shot at his ia
vorite draw pokee, but brought down
no meat. AS he sat sucking the end of
his bead-decked scalp-lock and gazing
wistfully about, it was plenty to be seen
that he was still very "hungry Iniun. /"

Beans are great swells-a quart oy them,

ONE WAY FOR Il DRUNKARD TO
REFORM

ONE WAY FOR Il DRUNKARD TO
REFORM.
Let every young man whose appetite
for drink is consciously growing, but
whose conscience is not yet scared by
confirmed habit, adopt the plan of MAX
ing an accurate note of how he feels in
the morning after drinking too much the
night before. Let him analyze as nearly
in detail as he can his thoughts and re-
Elections when he first wakes up, and put
down in black and white plain, truth
full description of them. 1 do not refer
to the sense of physical pain or discom-
fort which always follows debauch, but
to his moral conditions in the early
morning, and in the absence of the fac
titious excitement of conviviality. Let
this be done conscientiously, and let the
young man read over his own words
carefully, and endeavor to thoroughly
realize what he has described on paper,
every time he thinks of taking a drink,
and I believe that most young men con-
troled by principle, actuated by de
sire to do right, and struggling against
the inherent weakness of human nature,
would in short time come to the con-
clusion that the "game is not worth the
CANDLE" and in many cases eventually
give up the desire to indulge in so
treacherous and delusive a relief from
ennui-so dangerous and false means
of excitement. Journal.
