August Opens AuspiciousIy.

The rain of the last two days has
been welcome indeed to farmers and
gardeners and though it comes too
late to wholly repair the damage OF
the dry month. it yet will do much
good.
August is ushered in with cooling
breezes and damp skies, while July
started with q broiling sun and
parched earth. That trying month
of July will win the distinction of a
conspicuous place in the weather rec
ords of people who are fond of keep
ing them, and those who do it as
part of their business. Nor were we
alone in the experience of great heat.
In London, in Paris, and generally
on the Continent the weather has
been remarkably hot, and the sweat
ing editors have been protesting
against the 1nfliction. and writing of
ice and cooling beverages. The
London Telegraph even went to the
extreme of arguing that champagne
should not. be cooled by putting
Jumps of ice in it, but that the bot
tie should be refrigerated in cooler.
The benighted population of the En-
glish metropolis may need to be told
that, but it is truth as familiar to
every schoolboy in New York as his
multiplication table or the science of
top spinning.
But happily the month is over, the
mercury RECEIVERS from its infiama-
tion, and August comes in with
smiles and tears to make us forget
that July was flushed with heat.
Gov. Tilden's letter of acceptance
will soon be out; the campaign will
begin in right earnest; Gen. Dix s
Boys in Blue will in vain seek to
stir up sectional strife; all factions
of the Democratic party are joined
hand in hand in support of our Re-
form Governor; the army of inde-
pendent voters rally under the same
flag Carl Schurz deserts the stan
dard. but he fails to draw off the hon.
est German voters, who repudiate
him and his ticket; confidence of
success inspires all hearts; and
therefore the general feeling on this
August day is that of joy, hope, and
happiness. varied by the gnashing of
the teeth Of Grant and his motley
crew of political pirates, impotent
in their rage and trembling at the
prospect Of merited punishment.
Hence we say August opens very

How Chinese Women are Ship
ped to America.

The San Francisco Call says: The
steamer at Hong Kong lies at an
chor in the bay, after she has re-
ceived her cargo. The regular Chi
nese coOlie passengers are given to
understand that on day named she
will sail, and they must be ready to
go on board at an early hour in the
morning. At about three o'clock a.
m. the embarkation begins, the cool
les being brought out from the shore
in lighters, which usually carry from
400 to 600 persons. When the light
ers come alongside. a gangway is
made, and along this the coolies
pass in single file, each having in his
hand a ticket with which he has
been provided, which he exhibits.
As soon as all are on board the an
chor is weighed and the ship steams
out of the harbor.
But before all this, which is reg
ular, has occurred, and under cover
of the darkness of night, small boats
or ''sampans,'' as they are called in
Cuba, move steadily off from the
shore, each containing from five to
ten Chinese women Of the lowest or
der. These women do not pass
aboard the ship by any gang plank,
but they are put through a port.
which has been left conveniently
when for this purpose. They are
received on board by some officer of
the ship, who has provided secret
hlding-place for them; and before
the gray twilight of morning appears,
every thing about the ship has re-
markable regular appearance. Just
before the ship reaches Yokohama,
on her way to San. Francisco, all the
Chinese passengers except the wo.
men, are mustered on the main deck,
and are made to pass through the
narrow gangway. only wide enough
| for one to pass at time. Their
passage tickets are taken up and an
other ticket furnished each one, to
show that he will be all right when
disembarked at San Francisco. While
this inspection is in progress upon
the main deck, two of the ships of
ficers go into the steerage to ascer.
tain if there arc any stowaways on
board. II any are found they are
put ashore a. Yokohama but no in.
stance has ever been known where a
female stowaway was put ashore, ex.
cept after the arrival Of the steam
er in San Francisco.
After the ship has arrived in port
opportunities are given to the own.
ers Of these women to smuggle them
ashore. This is done by the con
nivance of some officer of the ship
and possibly of some subordinate
custom-house officer.

lived together in lawful wedlock for
several years, until dark clouds Of
discord began to lower over the sky
of welded felicity, and the nina

dart its lurid flames across gloomy
clouds OF atramental blackness, OBJ
scuring every star Of hope and hap

lumined the dawn of the first brief
years of her welded life when she

month Of July, 1867, when, after
having been warmly and snugly

of her loving arms and closely nest

ingratitude by abandoning her bed
and board without cause whatever,
except the Unsuitable thirst for nov-
city, which is the great predominant
character of the defendants nature.
The defendant has abandoned and
basely deserted the plaintiff for more
than one year, and left plaintiff with

A Cat Crusade.


Mrs. Swisshelm expresses wonder
that any song birds are found in the
United States, since cats are so nu-
merous here, and proceeds to show
pretty concIusively that they have
done more than man himself to ex-
tirpate some OF our most valuable
prairie fowls. This calls to mind
the statement made some years ago
by patient observer of the habits
of these beasts of prey; he declared
that two cats upon his farm Killed
over three hundred young partridges
in one season. And more recently
the protest came from Kansas that
these animals were Killing off the
birds that ate the grasshoppers. This
is a very bad report for pussy. Now
the economist pertinently asks if the
food which the fifty or sixty thou
sand feline providers our city con.
sumo were saved, whether there
would not be more left to feed some
Of the starving children; and to put
the finishing stroke upon the busi-
ness, Mrs. Swisshelm intimates very
strongly that the cat is in a measure
responsible for the grasshopper
plague. After this it will be difficult
to find modern Cowper to defend
the sleek and bloated hypocrite that
purs before the CRATE fire, and that
is only waiting for night to come, to
Danish sleep with the voice Of the
damned.

Under Which King

The Baltimore Sun. one of the
most dispassionate and carefully ed
tied papers in The land, has this 10
say, and, as usual, says it we'll:
SIT is not, however, with reference
to the administration that is now
drawing to a close, but with refer
ence to the important question to be
settled at the balIot-box next Ne
vember that the humiliating and pain
ful disclosure of the past six months
possess their greatest value. Every
days disclosures demonstrate that
administrative reform is the one i'm
peratiove, paramount necessity of
the hour. Both of the great politi-
cal parties, by their candidates and
platform. promise such reform. Un-
der which party and through which
men is it most certain, or even like
ly attainment? Under the present
administration we have seen all the
abuses and corruptions which need
to be reformed reach their rankest
growth and development. Is the
nomination of Governor Hayes, con-
ceding him to be in all respects per-
sonalIy unobjectionable as a man
and candidate, sufficient Offset to
the emphatic Endorsement of the
present administration by the con-
vention which nominated him and in
the platform which he has accepted
and upon which he stands? This is
a serious, practical question for the
American people, in the light of So
licitor Wilson's testimony and of al!
similar development to ponder. Per-
sonally Gov. Tilden has this advan-
tage over his opponent, that his SER
vices and position as a practical re-
former are thoroughly known to the

economy and return to specie pay
ment. Hendricks letter will remove
many Of the points made by the Re-

that he is no infationist, but favors
the earliest possible return to specie
payment He favors one six-year
term for President. with a provision
making him ineligible thereafter,
and he may include this view in his

of one section of the Union against
the other. Both letters will be
strong documents, and positive in
their terms.

BeIknap's Escape.
From the Knoxville Daily Tribune

The country will no doubt feel a
sense of disappointment at the es-
cape of Belknap from conviction up
on a mere technical defense. The
question of jurisdiction for the i'm
peachment of a public officer, after
he has vacated the Office by an ac-
cepted resignation, is one about
which the best legal minds of the
country have differed. This ques-
ton was primarily voted upon by the
Senate, sitting as a court, and de-
cided in favor of the Jurisdiction. 1t
required only majority of the Sen
ators to make this decision, whereas
a two-thirds vote was necessary to a
conviction of the defendant.
A very interesting question sug-
gests itself in connection with the
two votes of the Senate in this case
Of Belknap. In our Courts of law,
plea to the jurisdiction-the first
in the order of pleas-is addressed
to the Court, and is subject exclus-
lively to the Judges decision, which,
so far as regards the further hearing
of the case, as to that proceeding.
If the plea is sustained, that is an
end of the case, as to that tribunal
If the plea is overruled and disal-
lowed, then the cause proceeds usu-
ally upon its merits, unless abated or
barred by some further plea. So, if
the Senate had sustained Belknap's s
plea to its jurisdiction, judgment of
acquittal would have been ut once
entered. But the Senate having dis
allowed the plea and decided to take
jurisdiction, was there anything left
for Senators to do but to hear the
evidence and determine the issue
upon the facts? We're not the Sen
ators, after having taken jurisdiction,
sitting rather as jurors. than as judges
-as triers of fact, rather than arbi-
ters of law? So far as we can see
from the meager reports that have
reached us, nearly all the Senators
voting "not guilty" explained that
they did so upon the conviction that
the Senate had no jurisdiction of the
case-the very question that the
Senate, as a Court, had decided at
the outset of the trial. 1t seems to
us very much as if jurors in a Grim
inal cause, though convinced of the
defendants guilt, should withhold
their assent from a conviction, be.
cause of their non-concurrence in the
rulings Of the Judge upon some tech.
nical point Of law. At any rate, it
would seem that a somewhat self
contradicting precedent had been
established in the record Of High
Court of Impeachment, which shows
that. first the Court decided that it
had jurisdiction to try public Off.
Ger after the vacation Of his office.
and that, afterwards, in the same
proceeding, the defendant was &C.
quilted because of individual opin
ions of Senators that it had no juris
diction. 1t at least demonstrates
that the "glorious uncertainties ol
the law are by no means confined

BLOWING OUT HELL GATE.
Fifty Thousand Pounds of Nitro
Glycerine and Rend Rock
To be Fired.
From the New York Evening Mail.


Gen. Newton says that the blast.
ing out Of the bottom at the He'll
Gate excavations will probably take
place about the middle Of Septem-
Der. It will require $4,000 pounds
of explosives to do the work. The
materials used will be nitro glycerine,
rend rock, and dynamite, according
to the nature of the rock to be blast.
ed. Instead of placing the explo-
sives in several large masses, it is to
be scattered over the rock in small
charges. Holes have been drilled in
the rock columns that support the
roof, the number varying according
to the height of the column. These
are to be charged with the explo-
sives, and then it is to be exploded
by means of electricity. The blow
ing up is to be done in three Sec
tions, and the effect will be to crum-
BILE the pillars and allow the roof to
sink in.
The great opinion that the whole
mass is to be hurled into the air at
one grand blast is erroneous. Be-
yond a few beautiful jets of water
shot into the air, and perhaps a few
pieces of rock hurled above the sur
face of the water, nothing will be
seen. When all is prepared the wa
ter is to be let in and the chambers
filed, thus forming what is called in
engineering parlance sc wet tamp."
The water will confine the force of
the numerous blasts, and enable them
to act with greater force. After the
explosion it will be necessary to do
considerable dredging in the way of
hauling out pieces of rock. This
will take several months. but will
probably be completed by next
spring. The persons operating the
blast will occupy a. position about
800 or 400 feet away.
The improvements will deepen the
channel about thirty feet, and allow
of the passage of the largest vessels,
where before only crafts of high
draught could go. 1t is expected
that the ocean steamers will take
this route to and from Europe, as it
is shorter than the Sandy Hook
route by about eighteen hours.

How Rich Conductor Fooled an
Iowa Railroad Company.

A letter from Des Moines. Iowa,
to the Chicago Tribune mentions the
bouncing of large number of con-
ductors on the Chicago. Rock Isiand
and Pacific Railroad. "Spotters'
have been employed for some time.
and it is said the conductors returns
did not tally with those Of the spot
ters. The letter mentions no names.
The following is an account of how
the railroad "waked up the wrong
passenger -
He came to the depot to take his
train, as usual, when an officer of the
road and an officer of the law ap-
peared and arrested him. On his
shirt front was So. 600 diamond pin :;
in his pocket a valuable gold watch
and chain, which were seized and
taken from him. He was escorted
to his house, where his trunks were
searched, and about $4,000 in gov
taken. He was next asked if he
could furnish bonds and keep him.
self out OF jail until a trial was had,
to which he made affirmative answer.
An eastern bank was telegraphed,
which responded that bonds would
be furnished in $50, 600, if necessa-
ry, as that was the amount deposit
ed to his credit there. The railroad
official opened his eyes and smiled
over the bonanza he had struck in
the company's favor. This settled
it was next the conductors turn. A
lawyer was called in, who politely
informed the railroad man that the
diamond pin they had illegally taken
had been worn by the conductor
over twenty years the watch had
been carried by him years before he
went into the employ of the compa-
nv the United States Government
bonds they had taken were the prop
erty of his wife, as proceeds of her
share in an estate as heir; as also
was the money in bank. The best
thing the company could do would
be to return that which they had
stolen, and with it $4,000. and no
further questions would be asked.
The company came to the attorneys
terms. Your correspondent has seen
the aforesaid diamond pin; and a
train man who runs out of this city
informs me he ran with that conduc-
tor twenty-one years ago, and he
then wore that pin and carried that
watch.

A FARMERS LAWSUIT.
Was the. Paris Green Good or
Bad?
From the syraeuse Journal.

from the syracuse 1OuTidl.
A rather novel snit has been COM
menced in this city by disappoint-
ed farmer against certain druggist.
The farmer applied to the defend
ant for a quantity Of Paris green.
with which to relieve his potato
vines of their obnoxious incumbranee
He asked the price. and was inform
ed that a good article was worth fif-
ty cents a pound. The farmer de-
mnrred he declared that he could
buy it at half that price. The drug
gist then offered it for twenty-five
cents a pound, and made a sale.
Into the money drawer went the cur
rency, and upon the potato vines
went the bug poison. The owner
of the patch retired from the field,
congratulating himself upon the vic
tory won, and for week left it un-
molested to give his enemies ample
time to turn their toes toward the
sun. Then he again appeared upon
the field, and, shades of the pests,
not.a vine was to be seen, but upon
the desolate hills the bugs had con-
gregated. looking as neat and plump
as a well-fed mule. He declared
that some of them really wore smiles
upon their brows, and seemed to be-
seechingly ask him for more Paris
green.
Before bug could crawl up the
stalk of a vine, he was in lawyers
Office in this city, and instituted a
suit against the druggist to recover
damages for the loss Of his crop, on
the ground that the Paris green was
a spurious article. The druggist
says that can't be proven. and, fur
ther, that the bugs in question had
eaten so much of the poison in a
neighboring field from which they
came that they had become poison
proof, and instances the fact, in sup
port Of his position, that many peo-
pie eat quantities of arsenic for their
complexion, which would quickly
kill those not accustomed to its use.
