THE COMING CENTENNI1L DAY.

There is, this Summer, but one important
historical anniversary-that which gives name
and dignity to the whole year. IL is not
enough that the Fourth of July is already "a
national holiday not enough that business
shall be silent, and labor idle, and that a few
companies of soldiers and fremen shall make
festal parade in the streets. There should be
a solemn and universal cOmmcmOration, offer
ing to the whole people at least the Oppor-
tunity of participating in some form of exer-
cscs impressive enough to be remembered.
The National Celebration of the Day at Phila-
delphia is the appropriate, but also the only
form in which the Government can be repre-
sented and probably not one-twenticth part
of the multitude which will then be present
will succeed in seeing or hearing the solemni-
ties.
This city has made seasonable arrangements
for her own independent celebration, and the
example has been very generally followed in
all the larger cities and towns throughout the
country. But there are great numbers of
earnest and thoughtful people in the smaller
communities, who are reluctant to see the
day pass by without such honors as may lie
within their reach. The following is one of
many letters which THE TRIBUNE Is receiving
in regard to this subject:
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Az we cannot all to Philadelphia to witness the
celebration OF the Centennial Fourth OF July would you
be pleased give your readers Ia the villages aud
try districts suggestions for suitable cominemor-
ton of the day DAVID SILVER.

Without attempting to prescribe any fixed
plan, we would suggest that the first thing in
order would be for each community to call a
meeting and appoint committee of its best
citizens to consider the form of local cele-
bration. The conventional order of exercises
includes prayer the reading of the Declaration
of Independence, All Grafton, an original poem
or hymn, and the appropriate music. But it is

TIE DRAMA.
PARK TUEATER-IRISH DRAMA.

PAhh lEh-lhlSil Dhthh'
There was quite crowd at the Park Theatcr
last night to greet Mr. Joseph Murphy on his fret ap
pearance in that house. and to witness the rst perform
ance in this city OF Mr. Fred Marsdcns Irish drama OF
"The Kerry Cow" Mr.. Murphy is notable. as all eI'
pericnced actor for piquaney Of spirit maDness OF de-
meanor and ease and force Of execution The
parading defect is o certain in1exiblity which
runs like thread OF steel through his expression OF all
kinds of feeling. He happeot last night, in mo-
ments of bright leyy. The text OF the Kerry Cow
particularly in that part OF 1t which is assigned to Dun
VHara-shoas a constant effort At smartness. The
points were, however neatly made by Mr.. Murphy and
his alert facial expression and ohand carriage Of tho
body, aided by winsomeness OF tone aud picturesque
dress-preseuted amidst romantic ncidents-made bis
personatiou agreeable and effective. "The Kerry
Cow" is hve-act play, constructed upon
conventional plan and hled with the usual
types Of vicious and virtuous Irish character aud
OF docile British dullness. Messrs Brentone, Rosene.
Coggswell, aud others, with Miss Mary Nunel and Miss
Annie Mortimer, took part III the presentation.

Mr.. Blaine's illness appears to have damped
the hopes of few of his more ardent support
ers at Cincinnati. There is, however, no de-
fection among delegates hitherto counted for
him, except from Michigan, and their loss is
more than made up by gains elsewhere. His
prospects with the Massachusetts, delegates are
improving. Meanwhile the Conkling men are
working with great energy among the South
erners, and patronage and cash are said to be
offered for the second choice. The Arkansas
delegation is already reported as captured for
Conk ing; but the PennsylvGnians still hold
ont against the Establishments offered, and ex-
press personal preference for Blaine rather
than Conkling. Whatever gains are made by
the COnkling partisans, the loss accrues princi-
pally to Mr.. Morton and partly to Mr. Bristow
Hence it now seems probable that the main
issue will be between the forces of Blaine and
COnElinp.

POLITICAL NOTES.

There is fear in some quarters that the
thirdterm specter may matelalze suddenly amid the
chaos ut Cincinnati.
Whether Mr.. Blaine is politically ruined or
not Il question which there is great difference OF
opinion but there Is striking unanmity in the belief
that he has utterly destroyed his Democratic opponents

Private but entirely authentic and accurate
information concerning the health of ex-Speaker
Blaine, makes it certain that his prospects of
speedy recovery are even more satisfactory
than the General Press dispatches indicate.
There is certainly no reason to apprehend that
he will not be abundantly equal, in ample bod
lily strength, to the discharge of any public
duties to which he may be called.
New-York tribune., 1876-06-13

Tobacco il generally classed rs sedative rather
than a stimulant, yet its reactions" Ito use q
chemical term) are sometimes violent rs those OF
alcohol. Recently at Hobart Town, in Tasmania.
Jury which had failed to agree on criminal case
was locked up to enforce verdict. Tho result
showed the danger of keeping twelve persons OF
different views in the same room for an indefinite
length of time. Weary with fruitleSs discussion
some of the jurors commenced smoking; Others,
equally weary but hostile to such solace, protested
yehemently against it, Discussion swelled into
rage. and words were followed by blows. There
was frightful row. the furniture was broken, the
windows smashed to atoms chairs-but fortunately
without their occupantshurled into the street, and
the inhabitants of Hobart Town alarmed aud scan
dalized After all this, the jury agreed even less
than before. and the Judge. in despair finally dis
charged them.

The great decline in passenger and freight
traffic with Great Britain accounts for large
number of ocean steamers being idle at Liver
pool. This excess in the number OF ships
needed affords promise that henceforth the
rates for conveying produce and passengers
will be very reasonable. The general con-
"sumer' at both sides of the Atlantic will, OF
course, be corresponlingly benefited.

Our Canadian neighbors are having spell
of warm weather, the Thermometer having reg

most difficult and useful part of her education
is to learn what not to do.

Ever since the discovery In the early days OF tele-
grapbpg that return wire needless II the ends
of the wire were sunk in the earth, eectrlcians
have INDUCED the hope that the earth could
be made to carry the direct as well as
the return current, and that thus all telegraph
wires could be dispensed with. Many expen'
ments have been made to test the qnes-
ton whether the return current actuany tla-
vels through the earth, back, between inc
stations at which the ends of the wire are Durled'
These experiments have given results favorable 10
the belief that the current does so take It's course
and unfayorabe to the theory that the equilibrium
is restored simply by the deficiency OF cleo
tricitv being-so to spea-ost in the great mass OF
electricity in the globe 1t is well known also, that
there are at all times electric currents Id 'he
earth, probably near Its surface, aside iion
those artifclally produced. Their directioh
strength, and uniformity have been 10 some
extent ascertained and tabulated. Among
their chief causes is reckoned the fictlonai eiec.
citv likely to be developed by the sweep OF the
winds over the earth's surface. Very recently re-
newal has been made of tho efforts to utilize
tbese currents. NJ. Bourbouze, who directed
a series of experiments of the sort during
the siege of Paris, has recently shown that
sufficient power can be obtained from earth currents
to work teleHrphic instruments, where the only
source of power was from two iron stakes driven into
the earth yards apart The experiments during Tue
siege had reference to sending through eart
or pre- erably through water, without wires Though
moderately successful, these attempts served 10
show that such a mode of sending signals would re-
ouire for long distances enormous battery power III
the new experiments lead to cheap OF obtain
ing abundant electric force. the problem OF
telepraphing without wires may be in fair way OF
solution. Earth, water or even air may then be COM
PEELED to carry the electric message That we are on
the eve of discovery of cheap sources OF electricity
seems not improbable. During great displays OF the
aurora borealis the electricity communicated from
1t to the wires has been moro than once utilized
in this country to send messages. Another promiS-
ing source Of supply is very likely to be practically
developed from experiments on metallic plates sunk
in the sea- the chemical changes being effected ana
tie electricity developed without any expense Tor
salts OF acids.

Gov. Dennison by succinct and definite
account of an interview of Mr.. Blaine with
Mr.. Bristow at which he was present, puts an
end to the current rumOrs of personal hard

Dental aspirants would show "a much good
