one restriction. They cannot pass NJ
will from one army to its opponent
and in case Of capture they are at once per-
mitted to return to their special heid OF
duty. In the present war the Cross and the
Crescent is worn, and on each SIDE OF inc
line we find the same neutral nations repre-
sented. Following the example set by the
American residents in Paris during the

own ambulances, surgeons, nurses and

Armies go ont to battle accompanied by

thousands of lives are saved by their efforts.

There are now as we have said, two socie-

pity they are not to be united, but though
separate these societies should be generously
supported. Money spent in this way cam
not fail to do good, and though the donors

The Panic Maker.

Of all the terrible shapes in which death
can present itself that by fire is the most
appalling. We read of hundreds of sui
cides in year, but never Of one by fire. In
Hindostan and other parts of the East,
where s'suttee" was performed, the i'm
measurable forces of religious fanaticism
timpelled the trembling widow to submit
to a fiery fate, which was to her the only
entrance to the blissful state of Nirvana or
rest. Among tho Western nations fire has
lost none of its horrors and is, indeed, the
superlative type of eternal torture. It is
thing of terror and, therefore, parent Of
panic. You may convince people that panic
is madness, but you cannot convince any
body that fire is not thing to be dreaded
when it gets the upper hand. Again and
again it has been proved that its mere
ghost-the alarm Of fire when there is no
fre--will stampede an audience of intelli-
gent people, and generally with fatal re-
suits. -.
The behavior of the crowded audience at
Niblos on Saturday night, when some
scoundrel raised the cry of fire, was in the
main praiseworthy. Those who were in
position to see that the wicked alarm was
groundless remained in their places and so
prevented q catastrophe; for had they taken
fright and crushed after those in the rear,
who, not being able to reassure themselves,
had begun to fly pell-mell, many losses Of
life and limb might have been recorded.
The cool-headed manager, Mr.. Fleming,
also deserves well Of the public. 1t is
evident that the terrible calamities
of the past few years, in which panic
did the work that fire only threatened,
have not been lost upon the public. But
this fortunate escape from calamity leaves
one very positive rcgret-namely, the ap-
parent escape of the ruffian who made dis
aster possible. 1t is worth remembering
that it is within the power of any rascal to
raise such cry in any theatre on any night.
We are not aware how the law could deal
with such a man in case it was certain that
he had maliciously precipitated a calamity
such as generally follows on panic in a
theatre. He would be q murderer, no doubt.
Even in the case of Niblos his offence has
no difference in our eyes from an attempt
to murder. The law may not contemplate
this particular grade Of crime, but it would
be well worth trying whether it could not
be made to fit the case. We would, there
fore, advise all theatre-goers to be on the
lookout for the would-be precipitators Of
panics, and, at least, hand over to the law
the wretch for whom a swing at the nearest
lamppost would not be too much.

The Tam m any Machine.

1t becomes every year more and more evil
dent that it is the true interest of the demo-
cratic party to dissolve the Tammany organ
ization or, at least to restore it to it's original
purpose as q benevolent association. Its
activity in politics has brought nothing but
damage to the democratic party. 1t has
been a perpetual cause of division and dis
traction, both in the city and the State, and
q source Of weakness in the elections.
Under the Tweed regime the very name of
Tammany became stencil in the nostrils
of all honest men, and "thc scent
of the roses will hang round it
STILL" whether the organization is pre-
served or discarded. The fact that
Tammany controlled the late Democratic
State Convention creates prejudice against
the party throughout the State, and is used
with more or less effect by the whole repub-
lican press of the interior This particular
rose would smell rather more sweet by some
other name, but even if the name could be
deodorized the thing would remain objec-
tionable and undemocratic. There is moth
ing resembling it in any other city, and in
this city it is q source of never-ending dis
sensions in the democratic ranks. 1t has
always been such plague and bother in the
State conventions Of the party that five or six
years ugo resolution was offered by the late
William Cassiday and adopted by the Con-
vention making it perpetual rule that no
organization should thereafter be recn6nized

Two REMARKABLE SERMONS were preached
yesterday. one by DR.. Tiffany and the other by
Mr.. rockingham. DR.. Tiffany was exceedingly
severe upon those who make religion a stepping
stone to commercial gain or social consideration
and in the light of recent developments his
strong utterances are pointed and forcible. Mr..
rockingham inveighed against what he called
formal religion, and took strorg and advanced
ground on the school question, the observance
OF the Sabbath and kindred topics.

THE WEATHEI,.--The depression which was in
the upper lake district and Canada on Saturday
has passed northcastward and is followed by
another which ci.coses Il storm centre. This
disturbance succeeding the other so quickly
is comparatively unimpcded in its advance
by any extensive area of high pressure
Consequently We may expect to experience
its effects very soon in increasing castcrly
winds and rains. Surrounding the storm, but
chiefly on its eastern andnorthcrn margins, heavy
rains have fallen This morning the storm over
lies the lower lake district, extending in
an elongated oval from southwest to
northeast. The highest pressure is on
the Atlantic coast, from Maine to South
Carolina. Light rains, with castcry winds
and threatening weather, reported
from the Gulf coast. In the Northwest tho
pressure is rising rapidly, with falling tcmpcra-
turo and light SHOWS, near the base of the
Rocky Mountains, in the Platte Valley. The
weather In New York and its vicinity to-day will
be cloudy and warm, with increasing southeast

FROM AN ENGLISH JOURNAL we transfer to
our columns an able and thoughtful article on
journalism interesting not alone to the makers
of newspapers, but to the general reading pub
lie The criticisms made in it apply equally well
to our own country to England. There, as
here, it is customary with u certain class of pub
lie men to depreciatc newspaper work and
achievement, and. rs our contemporary points
out, they generally the very persons who
are most indebted to journalism. Az the ag-
gregate intelligence of the British Parliament is
far less than that of the British press so is that
OF Congress or half dozen Congresses below
that Of the journalists of the United States. The
magnificent work Of Stanley and Of Forbes rs
contrastcd with the work and records Of two
penny generals is stingingly commented upon
