MERcESARY MARRIAGE. = The Rev.
George G. Baldwin very truthfully says:
Gold cannot buy happiness, and the
parents who compel their daughters to
marry for money and station, commit
grievous sin against humanity and God.
And the woman who marries a churl
for his wealth will find that she has
made a terrible bargain; that all the
glitterings of the heartless are but the
phosphorescent gleamings of heart
wretchedness; that her life will be like
q crag on the bleak side of q desert
mountain; there cold moonbeams some
times glitter, but no sunshine ever falls,
no flowers bloom nor birds sing, but
wild storms howl and hoarse thunders
roar; and through the sweeping storm
shall be heard the stern voice Of the
great God, saying:
"Your riches are corrupted, your
garments are moth-eaten, and gold and
silver are cankered, and the rust Of
them shall be q witness against you,
and eat your flesh as if it were fire."

The fate of Gov. Tilden hangs upon the will
of three men. If they are pleased to agree
that he may be elected President, he will have
a chance of election If they are pleased not
to agree, he can have little more hope than
Peter Cooper. The three men who hold the
fate of the "relOrmer" and Of the "TefOrm
campaign in their hands are John Kelly, John
Morissey, and James O'Brien" refOrmer5"
all. They hold it in this way Gov.
Tlden has no hope of success without
the vote of New-YOrk State; he cannot secure
the vote of that State without large majority
in New-YOTk City; he cannot get any majority
in New-York City unless John Kelly, John
MorTissey, and James O'Brien agree to give it
to him. That is the whole situation These
men realize it fully hence their persistent
quarTellng for spOils. They can command their
own terms of Gov. Tilden, and they are not
the kind of men to be modest about doing 1T.
On their hands rests the "refOrm" issue, and
nice clean hands they are, as everybody
knows.
There has been good deal Of talk about
Gov Hayes's supposed inability to stand up
against the influences of bad men in his party.
We are continually told that the worst men in
the Republican party are working hardest for
his election, and that he cannot throw off their
claims if he is disposed to do it. We are
told that on account of these things there can
be little hope of civil service reform from him.
Now take a look at the other side, treat
ing the whole question as if it were Gas
in fact it is very far from being) merely
a choice of evils What prospect would there
be for civil service reform from an admins
trati0n which owes its power to Messls. Kelly,
Morrissey, and 0l}ricn 1t is impossible to
escape the conclusion that those men hold the
issue of the Democratic campaign entirely in
their hands; it is equally impossible to deny
that they know their power and will demand
its price, and that their price will be patron
age and spoils. Imagine one of these men
Collector of the Port Of NewYork, and an
other Postmaster. 1t is folly TO talk
about "reform - in the face of such a
situation. Gov. Hayes is free man COM
pared with Gov. Tilden. Republican success
hangs on no one State, or on no set OF
men, 1t depends upon reunited and an al
ready purified party. Gov. Iilden has been in
the power of these men TO some extent before,
but he has never cast them Off. A word from
him after John Kelly's defeat in this city a
year ago would have put that politician out of
sight forever, but he did not utter 1t. They
do not like him, they would rejoice in his de-
feat, and they will not let him succeed with
out paying dearly for the privilege. This is
the Democratic outlook for reform! This is
the meaning OF a Democratic "change" How
does the independent and dOubting voter like
the prospect

" "scIf-consecrate to Liberty and Humanity"
we have an uneasy suspicion that our orator
must be right in saying that Gov. Illden
"feels that the knell of old formalities ls

"malityn of paying ones taxes honestly uuI
ing a pcriOu of great public perm.
We should not have thought this speech

very good specimen of the cakes-and-ale
style of orat0ry when the Democratic eXh0rt-

adopted. But the millennium, according to the
New-Jersey orator, is nothing, Is stale, nat

cient in precision reminding us OF the juvenile
game of "Open your mouth ana smut your

the imagination of a Democratic Demosthenes.
One speaker, we observe, who WAS Liberal
Republican in 1872, wished on recent occa-
sion that his voice could reach all t4f brave,

year. We wish, for our OWL part tina the voice
of Mr. Greeley could reach all Republicans
who supported him, and who now, proposing
to vote for Gov. 1lden, are using thc name
of Mr. Greeley by way of extenuating their
cITatic course.

4 SPECIMEN TORNADO.

We are apt to suppose that tropical regions
are specially subject to destructive tornadoes
but there have been frequent instances i'll our
Western States and Territories of sudden
wind-storms that did quite aS much damage
as any of the proverbial "West India hurri-
sea nes." In our seacoast States such occur
rences become more and more rare with higher
ATTITUDES, being less frequent on the Atlantic
shore than on that of the Gulf and much
fewer north than south of Cape Hatteras. A
tornado coming unannounced from the Allan
tic, and first striking the Newlo ork or New
England coast, might do enormous damage in
a very brief period. Happily for us, storms do
not come in that way. Those that sweep
across this region come either from the north
west or from the tropics. In either case they
are indicated at far distant weather stations
many hours before they reach us, and the Sig
nal Service is prompt to recognize their ap-
proach and plot their course in advance.
Great Britain is less fortunate. Storms

SHALL THE EXHIBITION BE PERM1NFN1f
Our PHILADELPHIA friends cannot decide
whether or not to retain the principal OF the
Centennial buildings, and to constitute in 1t a
Permanent Exhibition of Mechanics, Arts, and
Sciences. The ground on which the building
stands is included in the Park, and is therefore
the property of the people. Whether this land
can be taken from them for the purposes of
paving exhibition Is the point on which our
neIghbors are now waglng civil war. 1t
seems to us very easy of settlement. If, as is
contcnded, the exhibition would be in every
sense national, and cOnduce to the education OF
the Phladephians as well as of other people,
by all means the building should stand. The
chance for a small fee, of seeing and studying
the best machinery, fabrics, and works OF art
surely would be of Incidentally more value to
the working classes of that city than a few
vacant acres for ball and crOquet playing on
the edge of their large park. But Will
the exhibition be either educational or ma
tional7 Two or three of the smaller countries
have, we believe, offered to make their ex-
hibits permanent provided the building stands.
Among these are some of the English colonies,
whose motive in their display has ay0wedly
been to induce emigration from this country
to their own. /. is not probable that any
country would incur the continued expense of
a permanent exhibition unless with some such
advertising purpose, in which case we fail to
see the advantages in an educational sense.
The society Just founded in Philadelphia
upOn the plan of the South KensingtOn Alu-
scum would probably place their purchases in
the vast building and occupy an infniteslmally
small corner.
For the rest, we are afraid, from our knowl-
edge of the advertising zeal of our own peo-
ple. that in six months time the National
Exposition would be turned into sample
room of pushing manufacturers OF patent
pumps. pills or pOlOnaiSes. 1t is a temptation
not easily resisted, we confess, to undertake
this exhibition, which might be made credit
to the nation. The building Is ready, and can
be bought cheaply, and many wealthy men
are pressing forward with the money. But we
would suggest to them that no museum, asy-
lum. or even school has ever succeeded OF
which the shell was built first of large pro-
portions the enduring institutions are those
which have grown slowly out of small begin
nings We would remind them too that until
the present year they found it impossible to
keep even the sacred precincts OF Their indie
ncndence Hall free from advertising lodges.
Fifth-rate artists and makers of imitation
marbles puffed themselves and their wares

In Europe the situation is substantially I'M
changed. The statement is confirmed that
Russia has demanded an armisticc OF four or
six weeks from Turkey. Alarmed at the ad-
vent of great Eastern war, the Powers are
disposed to support this demand, and may
induce Turkey to yield, although she doubt
less foresees that the truce woud be used as
the former one has been, to increase the Ser
vian ornaments, and fill the Principally with
Russian volunteers. Russia is, i'll fact, playing
the part of the wolf i'll the fable, which took
good care to find some cause of quarrel with
the lamb. The Turkish Government evidently
felt so when it recently declared that the
nation preferred to struggle now at the risk
of perishng rather than submit "tO slower
I" but inevitable DEATH" More significant,
perhaps, than the diplomatic wrangling is the
announcement that Roumanian railroad COM
panies have agreed to convey 1000 Russian
troops daily. In most respects the signs of
coming war are the same as preceded the
