TIE National Democratic Committee have
Issued an address Cf congratulation to the
1eople of the United States on the results OF
The recent elections. 1t is an address which
begins three times and-fOrtunatcly-en
once. 1t would have been better if Ii had not
begun so often, and better still If it had not
begun mt all. 1t is document full of sui
pfises. both in syataX and sentiment. Instead
o. cOngatulating the Republicans, as one would
naturally expect, it actually proceeds to tehcl-
tate "thc Democrats and Rcformers' on losing
one State and eight more Congressmcn than
usual, and barely escaping defeat III another
State pretty steadily Democratic. In other
words, they are congratulated on getting the
worst of what was hardly a drawn battle.
This heightened attempt to prove that the
Democratic party never felt better in its life
is clothed in all the panOply of campaign war.
There are banners and ranks and battles ana
charges. and so on, till military metaphor
givcs out. The Democracy having not uthc
of the reasons for rejoicing claimed in the
address. that hgh-somding document becomes
simply an inOpportune eruption OF unprovokcd
rhetoric Mr. Hewitt accepts the whole re-
sponsibility of it by adding to it his own sig
nature. He makes the sacrifice III vain. There
is no mstakng the product OF the bureau for
the product of brain. There Is no such
yigor in it's turgid sentences as there was III

While the exhibit made by our Government
at Philadelphia is not perhaps what our vast
resources would have justified, and is not
what it would have been if Congress had not
been in too great haste to make a reputation
for economy that would Outlast the campaign,
it is nevertheless pronounced by a correspond
ent the most complete and satisfactory dis
"pay of the whole Exhibition" To have at
taincd this result with limited means Is to
have deserved well of the whole country. a

features of this home exhibit will be found on

Messrs. Dun, Barlow q Co., in their quar-
terly circular, announce 2,45O failures i'll the
United States and 39S in Canada during the
three months ending Sept. 30, number not
exceeded in any quarter except the first quarter
Of tnsycar. The number of failures during nine
months of 1S7Gis 1850, which smore than one
per cent of all business firms. Prior to 1873
the average was not more than onc-half of one
per cent yearly, and during the three years
IS73-1S7j inclusive it was barely one per cent
yearly. In number of failures, therefore, there
is no hopeful sign, for the aggregate already
exceeds in nine months the total of any entire
year except 1875. Mr.. Wiman, the accom-
plished statistician by whom these circulars
are prepared, however, takes care to point out
a moro encouraging feature of the returns,
namely, the decrease in the average liabilities

THE arr EXHIBITIONS.

This year ought TO be memorable in the
annals of American Art. Far more than the
display at the Centennial Exhibition in Phila-
dclplia, where good and bad pictures are so
unfortunately mixed that only very linz
tied educational value can be accorded to
thcm the Loan Exhibitions in tins city have
illustrated, no less than they will develop and
improve, the taste of our people. The riches
of many private galleries ut the Academy Of
Design, tho combination OF Mr.. JOhnst0n'S
admirable collection with the Metropolitan
Museum, and the opportunities granted to the
public by Mr. Belmont have been of meal
culable benefit to the city and the nation.
They have given the widest and most endur-
ing qualification to nevcr-ending crowds of VS.
itors: they have silently instructed by the simple
mower inherent in all excellence; and
they have furnished such evidence of the re-
fined taste of the owners and its enthusiastic
recognition by the public, as must satisfy the
world that Art is no luxurious exotic, but a
bome-plant on our soil. The cultivated foreign
ers who have visited Ills this Summer-and
especially the artists among them-freely ex-
press their surprise at this evidence of n finer
civilization. Prof Schlesingcr of Dusseldorf
recently stated that he is equally amazed and
delighted to find here the originals of pictures
which he had only known through engnyings
in Europe.
At meeting of the exhibitors, held on
Wednesday evening, it was unanimously re-

inlpregnable.

As vet the lighthouse does not hold a shining
place in literature. Treatises devoted to it are
mainly technical. Yet there is much in its history
that is entertaining. A memoir upon the illumina.
ton and beaconage of the coasts of France, pre-
pared for the Government service of that country
by NJ. L6once Reynaud and translated for the Use
of the Lighthouse Board of the United States has
been issued at Washington, and contains variety
of interesting information sprnked through two or
three hundred pages of scientific detail and da-
grams. Few histories recount so many and such
serious difficulties so grandly surmounted The
chapter which describes the successive improve
ments in building lighthouses reveals long series
of struggles and ingenious devices which had been
mostly forgotten superseded by more modern
methods The old works still remain, however, use
ful monuments of bygone enterprise and skill. The
steps by which new improvements were introduced
are generally recent For long while after the
lights were incosed in glass, the pancs were fire.
quentlv broken by birds nine plnes in one light
house were smashed thus in a single night. In an
other instance wild goose broke through the pane
passed between two courses Of mirrors. and fell
upon the lamp. But the number of birds that
strike given lighthouse diminishcs year by year
even the wild geese learning wisdom by experience.
Some curious facts have been developed by the
elaborate experiments made in France in light
house matters. Among these are the proof that
near-sighted pilot cannot be relied upon to distm-
guish different lights no matter how good are the
spectacles upon which he depends. Red lights, not
withstandng the absorption Of part Of tho rays,
be seen further than white lights, especially in
fog. The improved apparatus for tho electric light
has overcome nearly all the practical difficulties
which so long checked its introduction. In fog
signals the United States has made greater progress
than France. there being more need of them on the
American coast.

the first six months which have elapsed since he
took charge of The Orange Journal, has received
letter signed by 90 of the prominent citizens of the

he has already effected in the external appearance
and editorial conduct Of the paper. In their opinion,
at is now nearer than ever before to the ideal Of

gives his views of the character which such journal
should attain, frankly states the deficiencies he
hopes to remedy and shows the necessity OF gener-
GUS local support Both himself and his leading
subscribers being now in accord on the main point,
The Journal will without doubt soon become what

That arithmetical problem was one TOO
many for the Reform Democracy. Ant-Iam-
manvs notion of what its One-third OF the
spoils ought to be would have made 1t the
largest fraction with that denomination on
record, while Tammanys idea of two-tlllrdS
was generous to fault The result is fali-
ure of the high contracting powers to agree,
and much consequent perturbation in the local
armament. 1t is a good thing to have 1t over.

Extremes of Temperature.

The most int nse heat reported during the
recent heated term was at New PatZ, near
Poughkeepsie, n. u, where the mercury re-
corded 1l2 degrees in the shade. There a.e
few portions of the globe where so extreme !.
temperature is ever felt. Standard meteoro-
logical tables give list of localities where a
temperature of 100 degrees is sometimes ex-
ceeded. They are the United States, Canada
Central America, the West Indies, Greece,
Arabia, India, Atghanistan, Persia, Egypt,
Desert of Sahara, and Cape Colony. But the
northern part Of the United States exceeds all
other localities in the wide range of the Their
mometer. 1t is not unusual in severe weather
for the mercury to fail 10 degrees below zero,
and a much greater degree of cold is often n-
dicated. If we take Is degrees below zero for
the point of maximum cold and 112 degrees
above zero for the point of maximum heat we
have therommetrc range of 121 degrees. 1t
is this yicssitude in the climate that makes it
so trying for the energetic and Industrious
American race. We are never prepared for
these sudden changes; even the wisest weather
prophet can never predict them. 1t is not I'M
usual after heated term to have ii sudden fall
in the mercury of % degrees; sometimes there
will be Il fall of - degrees in as many minutes
with the coming of fresh eastery breeze
These are the fatal seasons to old persons, in
vads and small children, for the system is
eneryated by the heat and can not recover from
the shock.
