The three efforts made yesterday in the
House to pass bill for the repeal of the Re-
sumption act, were doubtless intended to
weaken the financial plank at st. Louis. 1t is
fortunate circumstance that the soft-money
members were so largely absent at st. Louis,
as to cause the failure Of these efforts. The
absentees will do less harm in the Convention
than they might in the House.

1t seems possible that there was too much
haste in the public congratulations upon having
good Secretary of the Treasury. Senator
Morrill, is now reported as in doubt whether
his duties as Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations are not of more Importance to
the country just now than the new position.
1t would be better, if that be the case, to have
the Secretaryship held open for him than to
run the risk of another appointment.

BY strict party vote the Democrats of the
House yesterday put themselves on record as
opposed to the Presidents scheme for reliev-
ing the dead lock on appropriation bills. This
looks as though they were tying their own
hands

London "City Missionary" appears to be most
dangerous person. One of them, in recent report
of his work, soemnly gives the following instance: :
AT No. . man tried to drown our voice with a
brass instrument. He died suddenly" The punish
ment was altogether disproportioned to the Of
fense, in this case; but read further, and learn
that no distinction is made between an act and an
intention: At the corner house man swore that
if we came TO preach there again on the Sunday he
would drench us with water. lie was taken in fit
on the saturday, carried to st. Bartholomews Hosp
tai and never came out again alive Still worse
than this a cobbler who only refused to speak to
the aforesaid missionary fell i'll the very next day.
and speedily dicdw A missionary whose presence
sows so much death ought not to he let loose in tho
streets of a crowded capital. He should he saved up
for more important service. The English Govern
ment should retain him for time of war; and then
send him out to preach to the hostile army. If a
brass instrument were heard, threat of drcnch-
ing made, or even if only silence ensued, that army
would become suddenly and beautifully extinct.

Yesterday was day to awaken the hopes OF the
proprictors of seaside and mountain resorts-a day
for straw hats, thin raiment, sun-umbrellas, and
soda-water. Everybody upon meeting everybody
said Hot" and wiped his burning brow Every
body stopped to see the great shop thermometers
registering plus 90o. The most inveterate grumbler
could longer complain of the backwardnoss of the
season. The brick walls gowed and the slate roofs
received temperature which they will not lose for
time to come. The pavements well nigh blis-
tered the feet of the walkers. Locomotion was
thing to DO scrupuousy avoided. There are those
who never learn how to accommodate themselves to
tn nneties" They cannot moderate their bodily
eDartion to suit the state of the thermometer They
plunge and press and they fly about in June Just as
they did i'll December The secret of health and
comfort and safety Ill the dog days is to do as the
dogs do-to keep as much in the shade and a. quiet
as possible.

Attention is called to the circular of the
Board of Fire Underwriters respecting the
dangers of Fourth of July. Few persons are
aware of the risk that there is of vitiating i'll

The opinion is generally entertained in
Europe that England is very powerful at Com
stantinOple, and uses her influence there to
checkmate the Russians. Some ground for
this impression is afforded by Mr.. Disraclis
statement that the British ambassador induced
the Turks to send regular troops to Bulgaria,
where the Bashi- Bazouks were committing
great Outrages. 1t is good policy for the Turks
to show this friendliness for England, but
they probably Ovcrrate her willingness to assist

In Durham, England, the terrorism which
leads to strikes was yesterday overcome by
having recourse to the ballot BY this simple
expedient it was found that 90 900 coal miners
favored arbitration, while only 10000 pre-
ferrei a strike. Accordingly there is fair
prospect that the workmen aud their employers
will promptly come to terms.

A GrasshOpper's Fiddle.

"We lay ninety-nine eggs; if we laid
one hundred we should devastate the
earth" II is a Mohammedan legend
that the Prophet found this motto writ
ten on the wings of a locust, an insect
as nearly related to the grasshopper AS
the Mohammedan is to q Yankee.
Last May, the farmer in Eastern
Kansas who saw ten acres of corn en-
tirely eaten between ten O'Clock Satur-
day morning and four O'Clock Sunday
afternoon, and who caught ninety-eight
grasshoppers with II sweep of his
hand, must have thought the hundredth
egg was Matched at last. But the hum
of the vast swarms was soon lost to the
northward. Then bird and parasite,
and Minnesota boys and girls, who were
paid for gathering them so much a
bushel, soon ended the brood of jump
ing fiddlers for as truly as the cricket
sings, SO truly does the grasshopper
play the fiddle. Any howl he does
not play the fiddle, he does something
like it, as each of you may prove if you
will watch him when you hear him play
ing his monotonous tune. When he be-
gins to play "he bends the shank of one
hind-leg beneath the thigh, where it is
lodged in a furrow designed to receive
it, and then draws the leg briskly up
aud down several times against the pro.
jecting lateral edge and veins of the
wing-cover." A learned naturalist,
named Harris, once wrote this, and
your Jacks repeats it. 1t is plain
enough if you remember that the from
wings are called wing-covers, as they
are used for protection and not fol
flight. Grasshoppers play the fiddle OF
each side alternately, supporting them
selves, meanwhile, AS well as they can

An Incident of the Cincinnati
Convention.

But the funniest incident Of the whole
session was when Richard II. Dana was
addressing the Convention, the joke be-
ing at his expense. He is a fat, fluffy
sort of a man, with ageneral disposition
on the part of his body to fill his clothes
quite full and run over a little. He was
seconding the nomination of Bristow,
and assuring the Convention that nc
other man could carry Massachusetts,,
etc. His remarks were not well receiv'
ed, his manner was offensive, and the
Convention made no concealment of its
impatience. Finally, at the close OF
one of Mr.. Dana's sentences, when he
paused to gather breath and inspira-
ton, some M in the gallery shouted
"Pull down your vest" The idea OF
saying such a thing to a blue-blooded
gentleman from Massachusetts was
funny enough in itself, but the fact that
his vest did show a tendency to secede
added infinitely to the humor Of the
thing, The hit was at once so auda'
cious and SO palpable that the Conven'
ton fairly shouted, and the dignifed
gentleman from Massachusetts, wa
himself visibly embarrassed. He proba
bly, goes home more fully convinced
than ever that Western civilization is
failure, and that the true, the beautiful
and the good find their only safe abid
ing place in Massachusetts, Iadian

The first railroad we built in the
United States, and the first coal-mine
eyer opened in this country, are both
situated within fifty miles of Philadel-
phia, at the most picturesque town
of Mauch Chunk, and ought on no ac-
count to be emitted by visitors to the
Centennial. The railroad is still OPP
Grated, and called the "Switch-back,"
for the cars are drawn up steep in
clined planes by stationary engines, and
then switched back, moving by grayita-
ton down Il slightly descending track.
Pleasure cars run over tho road, and
take one in view of the original coal
mine. This romantic town, where
the wealthy Judge Packer resides,
is worth a whole weeks stay.
Uuexceptionable accommodations are
afforded at the American
House, where plain and respectable
travellers with only one trunk receive a:
much attention rs those with q half
dozen, which, says a correspondent
who speaks from experience, is more
than can be said of most hotels in thai
and other places. A fine railroad ride
over the mountains to Wilkesbarre,
overlooking the far-famed and beautiful
Wyoming Valley, is N of the delight:
of this region.

A COMPLICATED DISEASE.

There is prevailing, at the present time,
very generally throughout the country, a
strange disease, involving, as IL were, the
welfare of the American people. The dis
ease makes its appearance with a bad taste
in the mouth. pain in the back, sides and
shoulders, a dizzy sensation In the head, q
sort OF whirling when rising up suddenly,
a peculiar distressed feeling at the pit Of the
stomach, an all gone sensation, with n dis.
tressed feeling after eating, like q load on
the stomach, the c~ountenance has a haggard
appearance, eyes sunken and tinged with
yellow, bowels are costive at times, urine
scanty and high colored, with sediment on
standing, hands and feet cold and clammy u,

all night in warm water, setting the pan
on the back of the stove. In the morn
ing pick them over, and cut opt oil

kettle and stew until soft, adding a little
cider instead of water TO soften them.
| When cool, sweeten well, adding q
grated lemon peel, and the juice Of a
lemon to every two pies. Put several
bits of butter into each pie, and bake
with a lakey, short, upper and under
crust.
BEAN S~oUP.-Soak 1 quart Of white
beans over night in warm water. Turn
it off in the morning, and add 8 quarts
of boiling water and 1 pound of pork,
and boil 4 or 8 hours. As the water
evaporates, add more. When the beans
are well pulped, strain through a sieve,
and serve the pork on a separate dish.
Season with pepper, and, If fixed, flavor
with an onion and carrot chopped fine,
added when the beans are first put on
to boil, This is a very appetizing dish,
and highly relished by many who a
not eat baked beans.
To REMOVE FRUIT STAiNs.-When q
napkin or table-cloth gets stained with
fruit or berries, If boiling hot water is
poured on the stained spot it will rinse
out entirely but if it should be over

the spots ii warm new milk will remove
them. For ink stains on cotton goods,
warm new milk is the remedy, If ap-

worsted garments, q little spirits OF
turpentine, rubbed on with n wooden
cloth, will take the ink all out; then
wash out with pure warm water.
HINTS FOR DEssERT.-Pulverized SUI
gar is better than granulatcd for sponge
cake. Boiled custards with lemon jelly
are excellent for tea. Make n rich,
well favored soft custard and with a box
of Cox's Sparkling Gelatine, prepare a
still jelly, from receipt given with the
box. When needed for tea, turn the
Jelly out of the mold into a handsome
glass dish, and pour the custard all
around it. You can leave out several
of the whites of the eggs used for the
custard, and, beating them to a stiff
froth, ornament the custard with them,
and a bit of red jelly OIL jam can be
placed on top of each spoonful Of froth
