There is in fact no reason why they should have
declined the Royalist challenge, and allow De
Brogie to boast that they were afraid to appeal
to the reople. They will enter the campaign with
a defined objert-the defense OF the Constitu-
tion-and will labor with that vigor which a
sense of wrong incites. MacMahon's follow
ers, on the other hand, will go to the county
with sordd desires and divided aims. The
Bonaparllsts will entertain hopes OF an impc-
ri restoration; the 0rleanists will expect to
have the wealthy and chil less Due d'Aumale
act as President, until it is expedient for tie
Comte de Paris to succeed him as King, while
the LeGitimists will MAINTAIN that it is about
time for the COmte de Chambord to ascend
the throne Of his ancestors. The honest men
who seek simply government for the people,
"by the people," will undoubtedly outnumber
these misguided adherentS of a lost cause.
The many thousands of the people of this
city who are interested in the subject OF the
Hunters Point smell, whether because their
personal comfort or the value of their properly
is affected, will be glad 10 learn, from the ac-

who are inficing this nuisance upon great
city. While we wait for legal measures to dis
cover whether redress is possible, it Is at least
some poor comfort to know just who the men

They have been engaged for years in business
which lessons the value of property and

these men should not be pUt in the pillory,
and we give the public accordingly look at

The story of the German banker, Gimdt

interesting one. His dupes, whD are many and

they regret that he had the good fortune to
spend some portion of his supposed absence
in so comfortable place as his refrigerator
they can console themselves with the thought
that he will be restricted to a higher tempera-

No Rapid Transit next Winter. This is
probably the meaning of the adjournment oil
the Court Of Appeals until the middle of Sep
tembcr. without decision on the Rapid Tran
sit cases, unless indeed the door is left open
for decision at an ca ier date by the word
ing of the order which authorizes the Cmcf
Judge to call the cOprt together for consuta-
tion and the rendering Of judgments on casrs
already heard. 1t goes without saying that
this announcement will be received with gre t
regret. The Court OF Appeals is, OF course, It's
own master and can delay its deci ions rs
long as it chooses; but there WAS special
urgency in these cases which the court, with
out any impropriety, might have recognized
and respected. Each Winter that goes by
without Rapid Transit Is another Winter o.
distress and discomfort TO a large proportion
of the inhabitants of this clty, another Wint +
of bigh-prced and crowded homes for the poor
and middle classes, another Winter lost t. the
growth and development Of this city. No one
wOuld be so bold as TO seek to influence the
decision of the court in the sligh est degree,
but there has been general expectation and
hope that the court would make that decision
in Il reasonable timc-iOr the time has been
anD,rently ampe-so that we might know TINT
Rapil Transit was either possible or Impossible
by the methods we are now using in dcfnult
of better. That it has not done so VIII be a
great disappointment to the whole community.

Until President Hayes has issued his order
forbiddng ollice-hoders to act as members of
political conventions and committees, it will,
of course, be impossible to say just how far it
is likely TO succeed in curing the evil of Gus
tom-hCuse politics. The President has now
undertaken perhaps the most difficult task of
all, for such an order can be obeycd 10y the
Office holders TO the letter and yet It's spilt
may be stcld'ly disregarded. 1t is easy to
conceive of many ways in which Oilice-hOl lers
cln, though refrainiHg from taking ior-
nal part in conventions and COM
mitteeS, still be as active IL pohti-
cal intrigue as ever without perhaps
doing anything which can be defined as vio-
lation of the Executive order 1t Will neeh
the utmost watchfuness and the utmost firm
ness to compel obedience to the spirit as wed
as TO the letter of the new regulation, and its
full enforcement is likely to be the work OF
many years rather than of many months. But
the President has taken the first step, and the
first step is always the hardest When 1t Is
once thoroughly understood that oilice-h0lders
cannot properly belong to delegations and
Commuters and they are seen to be rgldly
excluded from them, public opinion will be-
gin to form winch may be as eiiec-
tual in compelling ollice-holders to abstin
from secret "management as the Presidents
order Will be III debarring them from open
partnership with the machine. At all events
the President will have deserved well of his
country for doing what no President before
him since jackson would have Jared to do, or
perhaps ever thought Of doing.
New-York tribune., 1877-06-23

Instead of dsratching military force to
Galipoli to guard the entrance OF the Dnda-
nelles. il Is more probable that England in
tends to make descent on Egypt. That pro-
ject has been freely discussed in British jour
nails, and is regarded with favor 10y many
Liberals who are opposed to direct lnterven-
tion in favor OF Turkey. The great object
held III view is, of course, the protection OF
the Suez Canal, by which the length OF the
voyage to India is reduced 5000 miles. The
prostrate condition of France may enable Great
Britain to undertake the INVASION with com
parative impunty. Should, however, Great
Britain occupy Egypt. she cannot consistently
object to Russia seizing Oh ConstantnOple.
The price of silver will be improved by the
financial course when the Fast Indian Govern
ment is aoout to pursue. Finding itself
$4,000, 900 short, il proposes 10 borrow half
that sum as permanent loan, ana 10 Issue
Treasury blils for the remainder as occasion
NAV arise. This scheme will Obviate the ne
cessity of selling bills which are for all prac-
ticabe purposes the same as silver. at tunes
when they are not IN request IN London,
thereby depressing the pnce Of that metal.
In taking this course the East Indian Gov
ernment acts in harmony with the late Mr.
Bagehot's conclusions He held that, as far as
he could determine the fall of silver from
547s pence in February, 1876, to AZ pence III
the Summer following, and its subsequent Use
to 55I4 pence in April last were not the per-
mauent effect of lasting causes. As it is the
interest of the Indian Government to keep up
the price of silver, it will no donjt use the
mower it seeks judiciously to that end.

AGRICULTURE IN THE UNITED
STATEs.-Agriculture, which lies at the
foundation of all other industries, is not
apt to be exposed to sudden fluctuations,
save from unusual causes, and whatev-
or may be the case with other forms of
business, the tiller of the soil is likely
to have something always to do, and to
get fair reward for doing it. At the
time the data for the census of 1870 were
compiled, there were 1850, 600 farms in
the United States and Territories, and
it has been estimated that not far from
one-half the entire population of the
country obtain their subsistence from
Providence at first hands, owing it alone
to that source and their own industry.
The total acreage of farms at that period
was 4O7, 1885, 41, of which 1921 900
was improved, and 21S,s14,OOO unim-
proved, being about So per cent of the
latter. In some States the percentage
was much greater. The average size of
farms in eighteen States and Territories
fell short of 1853 acres, the average for
the whole. The total value of farms
was SIS, 262 800, 1861, and the wages paid,
including board, was 1910, 2S6, 900.

HARD GRIND-A Soul THAT MUSIC
WOULD NOT CHARM.-A hand-organ
man was making his way up Adams
avenue yesterday, when a boy met him
him and asked:
GLOW many tunes do you play?"
'ZiXteen shunes-nice, sweet shunes,"
replied the man.
''My father is fond of music, but he is
little deaf" continued the boy.
"Oh, dat make no Difference max a

The boy led the way up street to

ton had been arranged in bay window
to look like living man, and the Ital-
ian spit on his hand and began on the
crank. He ground out all the tunes in
rotation and back up the scale till he
got all the tunes in the garnet of the box
again. The man in the bay window
didn't move hair, and the italian drew
long breath and sighed:
"Play mour muzeek-mak him hear
soon."
He ran out eight times and then threw
some gravel at the window. The bust
didn't even work its ears, and the Ital-
ian leaned the organ on the fence and
loudly sang:
"Oh! who shall drinks of me som mour,
When am far a-w-a-y?"
The seven other tunes were ratified off
at lively pace, while the man corghed,
whistled, kicked on the fence and en-
couraged dog-fight, in order to attract
the deaf mans attention.
''Sing louder-play harder!" called
the boy from the next street corner.
The grinder secured brace for his
feet, unbuttoned his vest, and the way
he roared brought out the citizens by the
score. He kept bis eyes on the bust and
gave no heed to the crowd, and the or
gan-box was smoking hot when he let
up the grind. Resting the music on the
ground, he leaped over the fence and got

ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
A Columbia Is. CO. dispatch states that
L. Cass Carpenter, United States inter-
nal revenue collector for that district,
was arrestad Thursday at the instance
of the investigation committee of the
General Assembly, now sitting in Colum-
bia, and held in the sum of $1,000 bail
to appear for examination. The charge
is that Carpenter, while editor of re-
publican paper, the Union, published
in Columbia several years ago, obtained
two State treasury warra nts for $55 and
S95, respectively, for public printing,
which he increased by prefixing the
figure six in each instance, so as to make
the amounts read 1855 and $685.. The
Herald's dispatch says the fact that the
warrants were SO changed after having
been audited and approved, and before
being presented for payment, has been
fully established.

Those who have visited the New
York Aquarium have probably noticed
that the two tanks containing speoi-
mems of pickerel and catfish are sltua-
ted side by side and connected by two
inch pipe through which the water cir
culates. Yesterday by some means the
wire protection which covers the mouth
of the pipe fell off, and a pickerel, evi.
IDENTIFY Of an inquiring turn of mind, inn
mediately took advantage of the circum-
stance to make tour of inspection of
the tank occupied by about dozen cat
fish. The scene that followed was
amusing in the extreme. The catfish,
at the sight of the intruder, forsook the
upper part of the tank and crowded to-
gether In one corner at the bottom, NOV
ing nervously about as in council The
pickerel, although considerably larger
than any of the catfish, showed from
the first by his behavior that he had
made mistake, and instead of SWIM
ming gayly round and RECALLING himself
spect for his little friends, which was
surprising. Nay, more; so far from de-
string to force his company upon those
who clearly could dispense with 1t, he
with delicaoy that was refreshing in
one usually SO rude, kept himselfso near
the surface Of the water that he appeared
DESTROYS, II possible, to get out Of it.
The sequel explained all sudden assump-
ton of refinement, for presently the
largest of the catfish left his little crowd
of friends at the bottom OF tho tank, and,
after a few turns round, bodily rose to
the surface and took good look ut the
pickerel, who appeared not to be aware
of his presence. The catfish soon made
himself known, for taking another turn
or two, as if to gather faroe, he made a
rush and a butt with all his force, at the

was but a prelude to others of like
character, which were kept up for over
an hour, when the pickerel reversed the
position in which fish usually swim as
q signal of defeat and without strug-
gle yielded up the ghost. Strangely the
pickerel, although larger than the cat
fish, which he could have swallowed
with ease, from first to last, made no
show of resistance, and allowed him
self to be butted to death without an eff
fort to resist or to punish his tormenter.

CHURCH RULES FOR THE LADIES,
BY JOE POT, tR.

Dress hard all morning, such is fate,
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned on you,
And VIII observe your bonnet new.
Let humble n1odesty wrsathe your face,
And take your seat with faultless grace.
Let all your thoughts be fixed on high.
And re-arrange your cardinal tie.
Think how religions prone to bless.
And criticise your neighbours dress.
Let ali your heart be filed with praise.
And notice Mrs. Miggle's lace.
Put from your minds all thoughts of sin.
And re-adjust your diamond pin.
Think OF how good religion proves,
And then smooth out your buttoned gloves.
Catch we'll the precepts as they fall.
And smooth the wrinkles in your shawl.
Think OF the sinners fearful fate.
And notice If your bonnet's straight.
Pray for the influence divine
That Lady's basque, mark the design.
Let tender peace possess your mind,
And criticise that hat behind.
Reflect on Christian graces dear,
And FIX those curls beside your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent prayer,
And view that horrid green silk there.
Reflect upon the wicked's ways;
See If your gold chains out Of place.
Think of the peace the good shall find.
And wonder who are sitting behind.
Think of the burdens Christians bear,
And notice those strange ladies there.
The last words hear with con trite heart,
And fix your pull-back when you start.
