WAR IN COLOMBIA. As we anticipated some
DAYS ago, the troubles between the State Of
Panama and the United States Of Colombia
have resulted in declaration Of war against
the Republic Fortunately, we are able to
print simultaneously with the announce
ment Of this declaration on the part of
Panama history and analysis of the mis-
understandings between the State and the
general government. The story will be read
with interest, notwithstanding the resort to
arms is q common device in the South Amer
lean republics

Another Scandal.

We have o painful story all the way
from Saratoga that the Hon. John Nor
rissey has not been practising what he
breaches. Our readers will remember we
published few days ago on eloquent and
turbulent interview from this statesman, in
which he complained bitterly of the leaders
of the Tammany democracy, because of the
reduction of the wages of the laborers from
two dollars day to one dollar and sixty cents
1t now seems, if this story is true, that Mr.
Morrissey himself, in the employment of
labor at Saratoga, pays fifty cents day less
than what is given by our authorities in
New York. We can hardly believe this story
and yet it is so important that we give it this
publicity in the hope that it may be promptly
denied. &r. Morrissey's reputation as q
statesman and the leader of party depends
upon his frankness and his courage. How
can he come to New York and champion the
woes of these unfortunate citizens from Null
lingar and Tipperary, who build our uptown
improvements, when in his own business and
in the disbursement of his own funds he
limits the wages of their fellow countrymen {?
What is fish in Saratoga cannot be flesh in
New York, and the Honorable John should
promptly put his fist upon this story and
destroy it.

the affair. At any rate it deserves thorough
investigation.
Iceland.

We publish in another column q letter
from Dr. Hayes, who represented the HERALD
last year at the Millennial Celebration in Ice
land, and who is well acquainted with the
country of which he writes. There has
hardly been on the face of the whole earth
a more singular exhibition of the conflicting
forces of nature than that which has been
seen in Iceland during the past few months.
How frail seems to be the crust on which we
ive when, almost without notice, the whole
rocky foundation is broken asunder, as it has
recently been in Iceland, through thousands
of square miles, and into the midst of enor-
nous reservoirs of ice and snow are injected
liquid fires, which first flood the valleys
below with water and then overwhelm them
with rivers of redhot lava and at length
bury the whole with hot ashes, which,
mounting into the air from countless
crevices in the rocks, fall, as shower
of snow may fall, over farms and villages,
spreading everywhere an asphyxiating cover
ing, until men, women and children, hitherto
happy in their primitive little homesteads,
fall down and die of suhocation, and cattle,
sheep and all living things are overwhelmed
by the Great Destroyer The picture is the
sadder that we had such pleasing accounts
from Iceland last year. How proud were
the Icelanders then over their celebration,
the parallel Of which was never known be-
fore What a scene of misery and desc
lation now succeeds to previous prosperity

tured through third of its entire area and
at least third of its population either de-
stroyed outright or rendered destitute We
indorse fully the views of our correspondent
with respect to the need for material assist
ance to these Arctic sufferers. And when we
reflect that the Iceland winter is a period Of
darkness; that the ground is then covered
with snow to the depth of many
feet; that communication with the outer
world will be cut off for several
months, and even intercourse between the
farms and villages will be at best difficult,
and that the population, never more than
eking out bare subsistence at the best of
times, now become burdened with those
whose homes have been laid waste and
whose farms have been buried in lava and
ashes, it is difficult to imagine anything more
distressing than their prospects for the next
half year. In thus calling public attention
to the subject we but echo o sentiment
already keenly aroused in Denmark and
England, as DR.. Hayes has shown in his let
ter; and in doing this we but perform o
necessary duty of journalism by recording
events, however sad they may be, transpir-
ing even in the most remote and inaccessible
quarters of the world. We heartily join
with the London Times and other English
journals, as well as those of Copenhagen and
Reykjavik, in suggesting that prompt and
efficient aid be rendered to the unfortunate
Icelanders.

TEE FAILURE OF THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA is
one of the most startling financial events Of
the season. Both as a political and CONNER
cial power this institution exerted great in
sfuence, and the effect Of the failure upon all
the interests of the Pacific slope must be i'm
Enense. It is to be hoped, however, that the
disaster will lead to the adoption of sounder
business principles on the Pacific than have
been the rule in the past, and though much
suffering will necessarily be the result the
lesson can hardly fail to be q salutarv ono.

The Vacancy in the Court of Appeals

The Vacancy i'm the Court OF Appeals.
Since the death of Judge Grover there has
been much random speculation in the press
respecting his temporary successor, who will
be appointed by Governor Tilden. As Judge
Grover died within three months of the
State election the vacancy cannot be filled by
the choice of the people until the general
election next year, and Governor Tilden's
temporary appointee will serve until January
1, 1877. Several journals, in which such
display of ignorance was not to have been
expected, have mentioned Mr.. O'Conor has
possible appointment to seat on that bench.
Mr.. O'Conor, having been born in 1904, is
now seventy-one years of age, and the State
constitution does not permit any judge to
serve beyond the age of seventy. 1t declares
that ono person shall hold the Office of
justice or judge of any court any longer
than until and including the last day of
December next after he shall be seventy
years of age" If Mr.. O'Conor had been
elected with the other judges at
the time the present Court of Appeals was
created he would have been obliged to retire
at the end of last year. Even if Mr.. O'Conor
had not passed the legal age there are OBJ
vious reasons why Governor Tilden would
not think of appointing him. He could not
do so without making himself, in public esti-
nation, an indorser of Mr.. OConor's recent
bitter attack on the Court Of Appeals, and he
has disclaimed all connection with that at
tack in q conversation with Chief Justice
Church. AS the decision in the Tweed
case was unanimous the appointment
of one judge in seven would amount
to nothing beyond introducing an
element of discord into the Court.
Moreover, geographical fitness requires that
Judge Growers successor be taken from
Western New York. If Mr.. O'Conor's age
did not exclude him, his inclination would !;
for there has, probably, been no period of his
life when that great lawyer would have con-
sented to accept o judicial position. Gov
ernor Tilden will probably try to make Sc
lection Of such marked excellence that his
appointee will be continued on the Bench by
the choice Of the people.

THE COLLISION in the Bay between the Twi-

should not have happened at all, and from
present appearances the responsibility will
be placed where it properly belongs. If it is
satisfactorily established that the former
crowded the latter out of her course no pun
ishment can be too severe for the reckless
disregard Of human life which is involved.

The burglary ln Greenwich Street.

The public will be grieved to learn that
Mr. Noe has died from his injuries. His
unhesitating seizure of the burglar, with
view to drag him into the street
and deliver him into the custody of the
police, was so courageous and manly that it
is impossible to withhold admiration, and if
he had succeeded everybody would have
praised him. But that method of dealing
with burglar was really unwise, and it fur
nishes warning which people will be likely
to heed. Burglars are desperate characters,
who will seldom hesitate to take life if the
way of escape is closely blocked. They are
more likely to be armed than not and no.
body who grapples with them can have any
assurance on that point Mr.. Noe, being un-
armed himself, made o thoughtless mis-
take in trying to force the burg
lar from the roof down to the street
through several darkened stories. He made
great mistake in not searching every
part Of his clothing on the roof in the full
light Of day. Burglars more commonly ply
their vocation in the night, and when they
are caught in the act it is better to alarm
them and let them make hurried escape,
unless the discoverer happens to be armed.
1t is always blunder to go in search of them
with light which gives them an easy mark
and increases their temptation to shoot. The
example set last winter by Mr.. Van Brunt
cannot be safely initiated except in circum-
stances which give the assailant a mani
fest advantage. A person going in
pursuit of burglars should always
take the precaution to be armed, if
arms are within his reach; but if not it is
better to scare them and let them run. Fe-
males staying in house alone should never
make light, which not only enables burg
lars to fire with sure aim, but discloses the
fact that they have nothing to fear from any
body but defenceless women.
Had Mr.. Noe been as thoughtful as he was
courageous he would have retreated noise
lessly down stairs as soon as he detected the
sounds made by the burglar in attempting to
pry open the skylight have gone quietly out
in search of a policeman, and had arrange
ments made for returning with force suf-
fcient for arresting the culprit in the act and
preventing his escape He might easily have
been caught in fagra,ate delictu without danger
to anybody.

There is vast difference in the
flavor Of eggs. Hens fed on clear,
sound grain and kept on clean
grass run, give much finer favored
eggs than hens that have access to
stable and manure heaps and eat all
kinds of filthy food. Hens feeding
on fish and onions flavor Their eggs
accordingly, the same as COWS eating
onions or cabbage, OF drinking of
tensivo water, inparts a bad taste to
the milk and butter. The richer the
food the higher the color Of the EGGS.
" heat and corn give eggs the best
color, while feeding on buckwheat
makes them colorcss, rendering them
unfit for some confectionery purposes.

THE FARM.
PREPARE FOR WINTER.

These are deceptive days we have
had of late, and on the proposition
that one extreme is very likely to
follow another, we may expect cold
weather soon The corn and the
pumpkins and turnips are now ready
to feed, and all having stock to carry
through the coming winter should be-
gin to feed Literally at once Feed all,
and fatten all, while the weather is
moderate, is the true way. Then kill
off the old cows, or sell them on foot,
retaining the younger to winter over
These, with good supply Of flesh to
start into winter with, are half win
tered already, and if furnished with
suitable shelter, will go through the
entire winter with moderate amount
of grain, coming out in the spring
strong, and ready to yield profit.
We repeat, feed now while you are
gathering your corn. Throw AL the
soft corn to the stock cattle, and leave
plenty of nubbins on the stalks. No
profit comes Of scant feeding. All
thrifty farmers are merciful men, and
this kind give due consideration to the
demands of hunger. They should do
this no less in the stock yard than at
the fircside.
