In the last number of Hdrper's Weekly is

American Geographical Society. This map

that continent which was possessed by the

this map Mr.. Paul du Chaillu refers to the
interesting fact, first pointed out by Judge
Daily, that the great lakes which re-
cent travellers have proved to DO the
sources Of the Nile are set down as such
sources on this ancient map, which thus

what viii MacMahon Do.

An Italian comic paper has ventured to
suggest to Marshal MacMahon that he was
"bottled up" by the result of the recent
elections and gives its readers happy
sketch Of the doughty President crouched
in cramped attitude at the bottom Of O
Florence flask, with the motto, "J'y suis,
Jy Yestc." II this joke was not suggested
by the presence in Paris of distinguished
man who once made q somewh hat famous use
of this comparison 1t is at least happy
coincidence. 1t is certain that recent events
have created difficult position for tho
Marshal, and that IN adverse major
ity OF one hundred md twenty is
formidable stopper to the ordi-
nary means Of escape from difficult
positions But perhaps no may break tho
bottle; perhaps no may refuse to recognize
those constitutional OF oven rational limits
which in the joke are typifed by the thin
glass walls OF his prison house. At tho
present moment the great interest of the
drama centres on that possibility. Marshal
MacMahon has declared that he will neither
submit to the voice of the majority nor
resign his place. He conccives that to sub
nit would be degradation, and he cannot
accept that but to resist any further by
means Of steps presumably within political
or parliamentary limits would be absurd.
1t would be like q mans continuing to
play for stakes that he lad already lost.
He would he only laughed at, and
degradation itself is rot moro fatal than
ridicule. II, therefore, he will not resign
and will not submit, and cannot longer re-
sist within legal limits, no must resist out
side OF those limits. Will he do that2 No
one has yet consented to believe that
tho Marshal would endeavor BY tho
use of armed force to set his own
will above that of the nation; but the
recent declaration that tho President
will hold his place because he believes the
ruin Of tho country would follow his leaving
IL is very near to the assumption of the
r6lc Of "tho providontial man." Men who
get into their noodles tho notion that they
are necessary and are divinely provided
instruments to save society can readily
enough reconcile with their conscences the
violation Of what they regard as few trum-
perry laws. 1t is not altogether certain, there
fore, that this possibility is excluded from
the drama now in progress at Versailles

its territory liable to invasion through it,
failure to prevent such narsuding raids.
The United States government can have
nothing to complain Of. provided the Indi-
ans from our side had really been depredat-
ing in Mexico. In fact. the prompt action
Of Don Narcios Anago's force sets o good ex-
ample to our own people who have suffered
30 severely from the Mexican bandits who
have lived for years mainly on the proceeds
Of their thievish raids into Texas. At the
same time the fact that there are depre-
dators on our side Of the Rio Grande %
we'll as on the Mexican side serves to show
how necessary is concert of action between
the two governments to put stop to such
dangerous practices. We cannot expect
such affairs as the fight Of the 18th Of Octo-
Der to occur often without involving the
two nations in more serious difficulty.

Congress Yesterday.

The House Of Representatives, having lost
its chaplain, vent to work yesterday with
out the usual devotional exercises, Those
who read the debate on the Army bill this
morning, and who are sceptical on the SUBJ
ject of the efficacy Of prayer, will be very
likely to have their doubts removed,
for during the five hours the session lasted
the House was perfect Babel Of confusion
and contradiction. The bill of the commits
tee provided for an army of twenty-five
thousand men for the frst four months of
the year and of twenty thousand for the
last eight months. It was the plain duty of
the House to pass this bill as it came from
the committee, for O large portion of the
money is now due and, as was stated in
the debate by some sensible member, every
day it remains unpaid represents loss Of
two thousand dollars in interest to the off,
GERS who are not any too we'll paid now, and
who have been compelled to borrow
money to support themselves and their
families. The subject Of an increase or
diminution Of the army was foreign to the
discussion and ought to have been avoided
That is matter for future consideration.
But gentlemen who were talking for their
constituents and endeavoring to keep on
the top of what they believe to be the popu-
lar wave could not be restrained, and every
imaginable subject was lugged in. from the
heather Chinee to the miners strike in tho
coal fields, until finally the adjournment
came and shut off the stream Of buncombe.
In the Senate nothing of Importance was
done. A resolution charging the Union
Pacific Railroad and its branches with vio-
lation of their charters. and calling on the
President for information, was offered, and q
financial bill, which indicates disposition
on his part to yield q little to the Western
clamor, was introduced by Mr. Matthews.

Professor Frank H. Hamilton told some
startling truths in relation to the sanitary
condition of our public school buildings in
his excellent remarks before the Medico-
Legal Society, on Wednesday night, and
spoke very plainly about the Board of Edu-
cation and the Board Of Health The most
competent medical authorities in the city Of
New York have for more than year given
the subject special attention, and they find
that while the training Of the mind
is going on in our public schools the
health Of the body is, through ig-
norance or carelessness, shamefully neg
lected. Evils exist which endanger the
health and lives Of over one hundred
thousand children, and many Of which
under proper laws and intelligent admins
tration are rcmediablo at once. II scarcely
needs medical science to assure us that
overcrowdcd schoolrooms. imperfect ven-
tilation. bad arrangement Of the light, faulty
construction and dangerous proximity of
closets and too long confinement arc incon-
sistent with healthfulncss in our public
school children, cruelty to them and ON
evil to the city. When . surgeon Of
DR.. Hamilton's reputation points out
these faults and calls for legislation
which shall prevent children under six
years of age from being received in tho
schools il is inconceivnblc that the
Boards of Health and Education should ig-
more the subject. Yet the several commu-
nications Of the society to both these boards
have remained unnoticed.
On the same night of tho meeting of the
Mcdico-Legal Society. and while tho ablo
men in that body were listening to the in
tcresting romarks OF DR.. Hamilton, the Board
Of Education was in session. Its action
consisted OF fining ''lady" principal Of
primary department for boxing o pupils
ears soundly lin o moment of excitement
and in squabbling over resolution request
ing the trustees Of the Nineteenth ward to
resign their appointments What wonder
that DR.. Hamilton regards the members OF
the Board as mot the proper men for the
responsible trust imposed upon them." and
that tho people do not differ with the Doctor
on tho point2

A Notable Gathering.

The banquet last evening to Mr.. Morgan.
the London banker, was in many respects
ono OF the most remarkable assemblages that
has ever taken place In this city. Apart
from the vast amount Of wealth which tho
gentlemen who thus met to do honor to ono
Of their own class and who is at the same time
thoir countryman represented, the meeting
was tho embodiment of the commercial ge-
MUS, enterprise, foresight and sagacity which
have made New York one of the great
business centres of the world and the United
States the chief of commercial nations. 1t
