Nothing but precipitate adjournment
Saved the Northern Democrats in tn
House, on Monday from making record
which they are desperately anxious to
avoid. 1t was on the question of an app
preparation to pay various claims of mail
contractors in the South for services per-
formed just prior to the War, and the Con-
federates were pertenacious in their de-
mand for final action. A call for the yeas
and nays was made by Hulburt, Of Illinois,
and to prevent this calamity a motion to
adjourn was interposed, and the dreaded
record was for the time postponed. The
Southern Democrats are incensed at the
cowardice Of their Northern friends, and
viii not let the matter rest. They will in
sist upon decision of the question, record
OF no record.

SOMETHING ABOUT PICTURES.

The gallery of the late VIM. 7. BlOdgett
sold at auction this week for over $50, 600,
tidy sum to have locked up in pictures.
Mr.. Taylor Johnston, whose private gallery
is one Of the choicest in New York, opens
it to the public in his own house in aid Of
the Women's Centennial Fund, charging
$1.OO admission, and the chance is eagerly
sought. 1t is expected that Mr.. Stewards
pictures, for which he paid fortunes, and
which he kept jealously guarded from the
public, will now be accessible. Those
who do not care for pictures on any other
account will have some interest in this col
lection, knowing that It represents value
much above $500, 200.

We present elsewhere the second letter of
the series received from our tireless and gal
liant explorer, Henry M. Stanley. Accom-
pnnying the letter. which will be found of
great interest, we present map showing
the completion Of his survey of the Victoria
Niyanza. It will be remembered that he
had previously explored and mapped the
eastern and northern sides of the lake. He
now sends us the coast line of the western
and southern sides, with their numerous in
lets and tributary streams and the islands
that dot the surface Of the lake near the
shores. Mr.. Stanley has left nothing to i'm
agination in this survey, the various routes
that he sailed showing how thoroughly he has
done his work, while a perusal Of his letter
will tell at what great risk. This survey in it.
self is great service geography. When we
recall the manner in which former explorers
contented themselves with glance over
the waters and eked out by pure guesswork
the unreliable stories of the ignorant natives,
we cannot but admire the resolution and
courage with which Mr.. Stanley carried out
this portion of his task. The qualities re-
CURED to pursue the service of science in
the face of such obstacles as have beset
SANKEY'S path are rarely combined in one
person. What he has achieved has been
won amid difficulties md dangers. Friend
ship has been offset by treachery, alliance
by luminosity. Death from savage weapons
and from disease has thinned the number of
his followers, but he continues with mingled
audacity and prudence to push his dis
coveries until it seems as though he had re-
solved that when his labors are over there
shall be no more mysteries of mid-Africa to
conquer.

and undaunted zeal To Mr. Marble,
more than any other man, the party owes the
fact that it is enabled to go into line to-day
with 30 many hopes of victory. Mr. Marble
in the Governors chair would be the natural
successor Of Tilden. If Tilden fought Tweed
to destroy him Mr. Marble did the same
thing at an earlier day than Tilden and at
greater cost to himself Mr.. Marbles nomi-
nation would be a compliment to that much
maligned but useful calling, the press. 1t
has been said of political journalists, in the
words of Tennyson, that they sweep the
crossings, wet and dry, while all the world
goes by them. Out in Kentucky we have
seen how the democrats have honored the
editor of their leading journal, Mr.. Waiter
son. Mr.. Marble would excite the same
enthusiasm in New York if the Convention
will only give the masses of the party
the opportunity to vote for him.
Governor Tilden owes to Mr.. Marble the
splendid hard money platform adopted at
st. Louis. He owes to Mr.. Dorsheimer the
fact that the platform was not slaughtered in
the Convention by the friends of soft money
and initiation. Mr.. Dorsheimer represents
the liberal republicans who came into the
party few years ago and who have aimed to
strengthen and purify it. With Marble for
Governor and Dorsheimer for Lieutenant
Governor Tilden would enter the fight sus-
tanned by his chief armor bearers. The
ticket would rally the democrats and the
liberals and give Tilden better chance for
carrying the State than any other names
that have thus far been mentioned.

FRANZ SIoEL FOR TnpEN means very en-
phatically that Carl Schurz will not have it
his own way in taking over the Germans to
the camp Of Hayes and Wheeler We are
likely to witness some curious changing of
sides in this canvass. While men like Carl
Schurz, Ex-Governor FentoD and John
Cochrune are going back to the republican
camp men like Sigel are coming out.
Schurz was disappointed beca1se the demo-
Gratis failed to re-elect him, and goes back to
the party he had left in disgust. Fenton,
who left the party because the patronage was
given to Conkling goes back because he got
no patronage from the democrats. General
John Cochrane, alas having grown ashamed
to look his little band of starving patriots in
the face, goes back for rations. Sgel says
he has been well treated by the republicans,
but the country demands change, and the
men must change before the country.

congressman might be better employed
these hot days than in making set speeches
for the Presidential canvass. The session
is impatient for Congress to adjourn. There
is no special occasion for Congressional wis
dom on any of the issues Of the campaign,
and if there was occasion for it the speeches
already made show how very little of it
there is in Congress. Mr.. Hale is too young
md inexperienced legislator and too OBJ
scure politician to speak to the country
from his place in the House, and MIR. Cox's
generalities and jokes have never yet been
useful in campaign. These things come
with better grace from the stump, for be-
fore the people an orator is not required to
be particularly fresh in his facts and ar
guments or brilliant in their arrangement.
On the floor of the Senate or House Of
Representatives different rule ought to
apply. No member should seize upon the
time Of either body, especially at the close
of the session, to make speech unless he
has something to say that is new in itself or
has not been better said before. If this
rule had been followed during the last week
we would have been saved the feeble drivel
in the Senate on the Southern question and
the aimless and rambling speeches in the
House on the political situation. In the
canvass many persons would gladly hear
Mr.. Thurman and Mr.. Morton, or even Mr.
Eaton, on the troubles in the South some
people might consent to listen to Hale
if his speech was made in New England
schoolhouse and was not too long, and Cox
might repeat his stale jokes on the stump
even in Ohio without much offence but the
expense at which session of Congress is
run is too great to allow such waste of time
in either house. The thing for members to
do is to keep quiet until the campaign
opens, and in the meantime to close up the
business of the session and 60 home.

ton compelled by necessity to use it. This
water enters SO largely into the preparation
Of our daily food, and forms as well the
chief beverage for the hundreds of thousands
of our poorer classes, that, next to the air we
breathe, it may be said to rank in the order
of vital Importance. Experience has proved
that foul air exercises deadly influence on
the higher animal life, producing the various
degrees of blood poisoning by charging the
lungs with noxious gases that come in direct
contact with the vital fluid, and thus inju-
riously affect the chemical process which the
blood undergoes in these organs. Water

BILE matter acts on the system through the
stomach and poisons the source from which
the blood itself comes, and thus charges the
system with many if not oil tho elements of

foul air. and its deleterious effects can only
be lessened by diluting it. as it were, MS
much as possible with pure air; therefore
ventilation is the best remedy that can be
adopted. Bad water contains poison that
acts mechanically and must be DESTROYED by
the agency of heat. No water should be used
for drinking purposes unless it has been
previously boiled and then allowed to cool.
This simple precaution will neutralze all
poisonous matter and render the fluid fit for
consumption.

THESE ARE BAD DAYS for the temperance
cause between the low Croton and the high
thermometer. People reject Croton who
never were known to pass faucet without
their teeth watering. On the other hand,
a large number of people devoted to beer,
water, have ventured on tasting it as it runs
from the pipes. Unfortunately, like some
of Mr.. Moodys high pressure converts. their
relapse is likely to be sudden and irretriev-
able. Those who still long for pure water
ask us to foretell when they may begin drink
ing again. We reply that he who drinks
now can prog-nostoc-ate for himself.

Yesterday was great dry among the oars
men, both the single scull and four-oared con-
tests at Saratoga being rowed in the fastest
time ever made in America, professional or
amateur and the latter event being won by an
utter stranger, the Northwestern four from
Riverdale, near Chicago, with the well-known
William B. Curtis as bow. But it will be
noticed that the time for the first mile and
a-half was SIN. SIS, while Cornell recently
made it on the same water in SIN. CAS-. the

latter rowed in n six. we have seldom known

Of America as we'll. 1t is great pity that
so fast and deserving a crew as the other one
from the Northwest-the Sho-wae-cae-
mettes, of Monroe, Mich-should be
forced to stay away from the great Phila-
delphia contests because they cannot
afford to come. The excellent condi-

of gambling or by an innst thievish in
