erly after winds which follow the movement
eastward of areas of low barome ter such as
that which has passed off our Atlantic coast,
give us a breathing spell yesterday which
enabled us to recruit after the exhausting
experiences of the previous FIVE days. al
though BY comparison with the records Of
last year we find that the weather is now
normally warm. Still, the change from
ninety-five degrees at three o'clock on Tues
day afternoon to eighty-four degrees at the
same hour yesterday is decided relief. The
cases of sunstroke reported probably origi-
mated during the recent hot days, and the
system, being weakened by steady increase
Of heat, was unable to resist its influence.

THE SAD SToRr of poor woman who has
suffered wrong ut the hands of sewing ma
chine company which we publish elsewhere
shows that the case of Bridget Barry is by
no means . solitary one She paid fifty dol
lars in instalments on machine sold to her
for sixty-five dollars, and probably costing
che manufacturers not more than fifteen to
twenty dollars. Her machine was taken
away on temporary stoppage Of the install
nents, and when afterward she offered the
ffteen dollars balance was told she should
pay in addition six dollars and a quarter for
s.rcmoving the machine" As this was out
81 her power she has neither seen machine
NOR money since. If this is not cxtortion
from the poor we should like to see def
milton Of the term.

Prince Milan, of Servia, is mere youth,
but the eyes of Europe are following him in
his march from Belgrade to join his army on
the frontier. The announcements of Mr..
Disraeli and Lord Derby to the English Par
lament yesterday upon the matter keep the
point in view that the blow has not yet been
struck which may precipitate European
conflict, but the believers in peace at any
price cannot gather hope from the tone of
the Ministers remarks. BY far the most i'm
portant conclusions can be drawn from what
they did not say. We find no as
sertion that in the event of war Eng
land will feel called upon to interfere
openly. For all the display of energy
that Disraei has made, it would seem
that prudence has advised neutral atti-
tude SO long as the war IS only between
Turkey and the small Danubian States.
Perhaps the English Cabinet believes that
Turkey is still able to cope with her revolted
be rudely undeceived. That the Turks can
fight is beyond question but that in face
Of their failure to crush the rebellion in
Herzegovina and Bosnia they can success
fully face the Servians as well is very doubt
full. 1t must be remembered that Russia is
secretly behind the Servians and rebels,
and that she can aid them with money
without inconvenient questions being asked
at home. Fooled in her first plan to crush
out Turkey under the weight Of three en-
pires, by the rescluteness of Disraeli, she
has fallen back on the safer but less direct
mode of setting the Servians to pull her
chestnuts out of the fire.
In the events since the rejection of
the Berlin note by England the work
Of hidden hands reveals itself on every
side. When the inner history Of the over
throw of Abdul-Aziz on one side and the
declaration of war by Servia on the other
comes to be written it will be seen that the
era Of subtle and INSCRIPTIONS diplomacy
did not end with Talleyrand. These
events are moves on the Eastern chessboard
made respectively by England and Russia
playing under the table, but beyond the fact
that Sultan Mourad and Prince Milan change
their positions in the game the general pub
lie is at a loss for the true details. In the mo-
ment of suspense before the first gun is fred
there may intervene another of those mystic
rious moves. We should not be surprised
to see Montenegro, the other Russian pawn,
moved over the Turkish lines, while. if Ger
many is about to make deal with Russia,
Roumania may be put forward. This last
move is questionable as yet; but from the
first crossing of Turkish and Servian bayo-
nets we may recognize that England and
Russia are at war, although vicariously.

THE CHAMPION JOKE Of the horse car COM
panies is that made by Judge Comstock yes
terday in arguing against a rapid transit
road on Sixth avenue. Having painted all
the wrongs the company would endure if o
road were built he drew smiles of pity from
the listeners by saying -" The defendants
propose to run noisy trains of cars over
head. and the plaintiffs claim that their
passengers should not suffer from this
nuisance" Never before has man got up
with solemn face to express such tender
ness on behalf Of the companies for their
passengers. We fancy we see a horse car
director weeping at the thought of the pas
sengers in sardine-packed car having their
ears tingled by the noise of car over head.
Jam them in, crush them together until
decency is outraged, health endangered and
their fares collected, but let there be no
noise over head. With such stuff as this the
chartered plunderers of New York seek to
stop rapid transit.

The banquet given last night at Del
monico's to the National Board Of Trade was
a brilliant success. The large room was
crowded and the assembled merchants were
rs jolly as though they had never a venture
on the seas. The coming together of the
business men of this country for the pur-
pose of discussing the conditions and pros
poets Of our commercial relations cannot
but have happy influence. From the
speech Of Mr.. Low, who may be re-
garded as in some sort the official
spokesman Of the assembled merchants,
we judge that our business men look with
confidence to the future. The partial dis
tress existing in business is attributed by
them to its true cause.-the overproduction
which has taken place throughout the
civilized world during the last decade,
aggravated in our case by the sudden return
of forty-five millions OF people to economic
habits. But the merchants believe in the
return wave Of prosperity which must come
as reaction from natural causes. and which

The Geographic news from Cuba is q lit
tie reassuring as ever. Though we hear lit
tie of the insurgents their presence makes
itself felt in the burdens imposed on the
commerce of the country by the heavy war
taxes, which seem to have reached their ut
most limits. Yet the war seems further from
termination than ever. Measures of re-
preston are now adopted with the utmost
severity in the jurisdictions Of Sanctus
Spiritu and Remedies. Four years
ago the insurgent cause seemed lost
The Cinco Villas had been abandoned. the
troops of Agramonte and Cespedes were
separated by barrier that the Spanish gov.
eminent deemed impossible, and it was am
nounced confidently that the extinction Of
the insurgent bands was merely question
of time. But since that period the Cuban
revolution has taken new ife--it has broken
through the much vaunted trocha and swept
westward until it has reached the very ont
skirts of Havana Now, when the close of the
civil war promises to allow Spain full use of
all her resources to reduce to subsection the
FESTIVE Queen of the Antilles, yellow fever
steps in and threatens destruction to the
newly arrived soldiers. In the meantime
the insurgents, though quiet, are not idle.
They are taking advantage of the truce inn
posed by nature on their enemies to restore
wasted supplies of ammunition and enjoy
needed repose. Ill fortune continues to at
tend their naval expeditions The Spaniards
report the capture of q launch bringing from
Jamaica ammunition and arms. But prob
ably the patriots will not allow this misad-
venture to deter them from trying again.

A New Confidence Game.

The superintendent of the baggage de-
partment of the Troy Union depot received
a letter yesterday from G. Schemerhorn, of
Wallingford, stating that last Wednesday
night, when in Troy, waiting for the train
going TO Rutland, young man signing his
name as James Miller, No. 80, baggage ex-
press, took his sole leather valise, giving
him ticket for it, saying he would be on
the baggage car and would hand 1t off to
the writer at Rutland. OF courec he did
not get his valise. lie says the confidence
man told him he watched at the depot
nights, also ran up on the train as baggage
or expressmau. He said he had had his
foot hurt on the Rad, and bis boot was
cut open at the instep ON the left foot.
Schemerhorn deserved to lose his valiec for
intrusting it to anyone but the regular bag
gage master, who always wcars u badge,
enabling passengers TO Distinguish him
from frauds. The depot officials should
keep swindlers awsy from the depot.

a clock in her possession old enough to
make trip to the centennial exhibition,
and fully worthy Of place in memorial

and subdivisions, with as much accuracy
as when it first begun. There ID bit of
