to withdraw now, and the three EN-
pires, with England and France, have
apparently resolved TO view the open

deeply interested ones it is true, and, with
the exception of France, each wishing for
the moment when a sudden blow might be
delivered on the favored side. 1t is a curious

motives of her policy as an Asiatic Power.
If Russia takes. sides in the field against
Turkey it will be partly from sympathy and
largely in pursuit of material gains both in
Europe and Asia 1t will be so difficult for
Austria to take part against the fighting
Christians, and so dangerous for her to move
at all unless on ON understanding with Ger
many and Russia that the single temptation
of England will not avail to place her on the
side Of Turkey. With Germany alone her
pact would resemble that Of the lamb with
the wolf, and pact with Russia alone would
scarcely compensate for the danger that
would threaten her in the German provinces
of the Empire. The exigencies of her posi-

neutral unless she could come to an IN

Boss KELLY IN SrATE.-When Louis XIV.
arose in the morning he was surrounded by
noblemen who We'd with each other in dis.
charging the Offices about his person. One
embodied him in the royal scarf, another tied
the royal cravat, a third perfumed the royal
handkerchief, fourth pulled on the royal
boots, and SO on. We are reminded Of thii
as we read of Boss Kelly entering the St
Louis Convention. On one side Fred
Smythe carrying his hat, Sam Cox on tn.
other carrying his umbrella Then came
Olney with Kelly's cane, and Schell with his
green bag Behind all came Tom Dunlap
and Denis Quinn with supply of fans. As
the Boss walked up the aisle thus surrounded,
and saw before him Hewitt and Smith Weed
and other rebels, his aspect was terrible.
How sadly Wickham must have felt, remem-
bering that it was once his Office to carry the
hat, and that now he was out in the broiIing
sun!

1t does not surprise US 10 learn thas tho
friends Of Governor Hartnnff, of Pennsyi-
vania. complain of his treatment ct Cincin-
natl. They say, and with justice, that
Hartranft was better general than Hayes.
that he has proved to be as good Governor.
that he was the choice Of great State, and
that if Pennsylvania had been true to him
he might have won. On the contrary, il
was with difficulty Pennsylvania could be
induced to give him one ballot. Delegates
who had been pledged to vote for him arose
and publicly repudiated the pledge, and
but for the frmness of a few friends his can
didacy would have been farce. If Penn
sylvania had voted for Hartranft as Ohio
voted for Hayes, first, last and all the time,
he might now be the nominee. There is
much force in these complaints. Hartranft
was badly used in his own State. But SO
long as the republican party. in Pennsylva-
mia is under tho rule of ring like that
which sways Philadelphia it will send pur-
chasable delegations to conventions. Penn
sylvania, one of the first of our States, an
empire among commonw ealths, and this
year OF all years laurel laden with honors-
Pennsylvania was Of no moro importance in
the Convention at Cincinnati than Texas.
Governor Hartranft may complain with rea-
son. The Philadelphia delegation stabbed
him.

announced by the two national conventions
the country is safe, whichever party suc-
ceeds. Both parties have bound themselves
by a formal. solemn pledge to restore 4
sound and honest currency at the earliest
period when it can be done without q sud-
den shock and violent arrangement of
business, and we have no doubt that either
party, if successful in the election, will
attempt to keep the pledge. Our conf
dence is not founded on the virtue of party
leaders, which would be frail reliance,
but on the recognition by both parties that
this is the will of the people. Politicians
are mere tenants of the Offices they may
gain, and their consciousness that no party
can stand in this country which does
in favor Of sound finance and honest
administration is hopeful and assuring
sign of the times. We recognize the great
service the ST. Louis Convention has done in
relieving the public mind from solicitude
respecting the cardinal principles on which
the government ought to be administered.
1t is great relief to feel that this Presi-
DENTAL contest is mere trial of party
strength and rivalry Of personal ambitions
and that whether Hayes is elected or Tilden
is elected the country is equally sure
that the government will be admins
tered on honest principles No great
public interest will be endangered
by tho success of either candidate. We
may, therefore, dismiss anxiety and APP
prehension, and look upon this interesting
canvass as harmless struggle between two
equally patriotic parties for public favor and
approval. We shall have an honest Presi-
dent, q safe administration and . steady
progress toward specie payments and bust
ness prosperity, whether Governor Hayes or
Governor Tilden carries off the honors of the
canvass.

The discovery of six helpless infants in
various stages Of starvation and all sharing
horrifying state of filth at the home of Mrs.
McCloskey, professional baby farmer, shows
that this slow but sure system of infanticide
can exist in New York Weare glad to say that
the inquiries of the police into this woman's
antecedents make it appear that even in the
poorest localities her horrid practices failed
to be tolerated. That she was allowed to
months without attracting the attention Of
the police is sad comment upon the indif-
ference of people to wrong SO it does not
involve their own regulations or is not COM
mitted before their eyes, Wehope to see this
woman severely punished. Crimes against
human life committed by the cradle side
belong to barbarism. The helplessness Of
the little sufferers cries out to our common
humanity. The age which has fertilized the
goodly work of ST. Vincent de Paul until
the care of the founding has become one Of
the most tender and important of the chari-
ties Of all creeds is ready to take strong
measures to stamp out revolving crime,
more heinous because more fendishly pro-
longed in its tortures than what is told Of
the abandonment of infants by the Chinese
Such wholesale baby farming establishments

Of Cruelty to Children in this case gives it .

A HIST TO KELLY's FRIENDS. The friends
of the Boss should keep cooling lotions about
him. A towel dipped in ice-cold water and
applied to the back of the neck has been
known to produce beneficial results The
climate of st. Louis is too harsh. The Boss
should be brought home in special car and
taken at once to ex-senator Nortons clam
cottage on Conev Island. The sea air will
restore him.

is in the position Of the gentleman who,

that the right of asylum is sacred.

Colonel Forney writes an article, calling
on the '-Confederates" to cease their war
upon Mr. Blaine, now that he is i'll and
has lost the nomination for the Pres
idency. The country shares Colonel For
ney's sorrow for the illness Of Mr.. Blaine,
and trusts that he may soon return to public
life with restored health. But at the same
time it is not fair to charge the Confederates
with the ''war upon Blaine" Mr. Blaine is
in this position:-He tempered with
witness under subpoena He offered this wit
ness consulate to leave the country and
suppress certain evidence, and when this
offer was rejected he took forcible possession
of this evidence and still holds it in defiance
of the House. If the House asserts it's au-
thority it will either censure Mr.. Blaine or
expel him. Now this is q cold, passionless
presentation of the case, which gentleman
as skilled in parliamentary law as Colonel
Forney must see The uproar about the
Confederates was admirable as flank at
tack in the House. 1t was fair ammunition
in the hands Of fireworks orator like Inger-
soil, Of Illinois. But it should not deceive
Colonel Forney. Mr.. Blaine is in m unfor-,
tunate position SO. far as the House is con-
cerned. Nothing but the sympathy of the
House can save him. The position is Of his
own seeking, and the poor Confederates,
who will have enough to bear this summer,
should not be charged with it.

How Girls are Made Pretty.

The Hindoo girls are gracefully and
exquisitcly formed. From their ear
liest childhood they are accustomed
to carry burdens on their heads
The water for family use is always
brought by the girls in carthen jars,
carefully poised in this way. The
exercise is said TO strengthen the
muscles of the back, while the chest
is thrown forward. No crooked
backs are seen in Hindoostan. DR..
Henry spry, one of the company's
medical officers, says that "this oxer-
else of carrying small vessels of wa
ter on the head might be advantage
ously introduced into our boarding
schools and private families, and that
it might entirely supersede the pres
ent machinery of dumb-bells, back
boards, skipping ropes, &c. The
young lady ought to be taught to
carry the jar, as these lIindoo women
do, without ever touching it with
their hands" The same practice of
carrying water leads to precisely the
same results in the south of Spain
and in the south Of Italy as in India.
A Ncapolitan female peasant will
carry on her head vessel full of wa
ter to the very brim over n rough
road and not spill drop of it, and
the acquisition of this art or knack
rivcs her the same erect and elastic
gait, and the same expanded chest
and we'll formed back and shoulders.

Lack of Confidence.

The other day a young man of four
and twenty, waiting around the
forty second street depot, seemed sly
ly anxious to get into a fuss with
somebody. He was well pat togeth.'
er seemed to have lots of muscle and
no one seemed anxious for trouble
with him. By and by and cldish
man, who had been watching the
fellow for a quarter Of an hour; made
free to remark;
"You seem determined to pick a
fuss with some one"
"That's what l want, Mister" re-
piled the young man; "Pmjust roast

"Why do you wish to fght?" in

The fight opened beautifully and
closed rapidly. The man was knock
ed over table one way and kicked
over it from the other, andablow un-
der the ear as he made for the door,
helped him ten feet. He trotted in
to the depot pale as death, and head
swelling up, and as he inquired for
water and towel the gentleman
who had conversed with him came
forward and inquired:
"Did you find a fight?"
Got licked all to thunderp was the
lonesome reply.
