speak of general considerations and

them was that they feared that these

the South unless it was by the in

Tho attractions provided by tho HAYES
travelling combination for its Southern
tour do not include many novelties. Little
Gov. VAN ZANDT, who likcncd Mr.. HAYES
arrival ut a Rhode Island clambakc to the
glorious advent of the rising sun, is To join
the party at Louisville. DEvENs and KEY
remain in their old places, although II is not
definitely announced that the latter will
venture to go through the South. Mr.
HAYES expects To take up CARL ScHURz at
Louisville. The Flying Dutchman, having
landed on the Northern side during the late
war will bo available for exhibition to the
ex-Confcderatcs as u OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Nc
CRARY and THOMPSON will make their ap-
poarance at Louisville, but, after showing
themselves there their military and naval
duties will require them to hasten back to
Washington. There are to bc two or three SUI
pcrnumcraries in the company, besides little
VAN IANDr. II EvARTs should be unable to
go along, the company will lack the element
of broad humor. This might he afforded in
abundance by taking along FRED DOUGLASS,
and exhibiting him to the White Leaguers
az poor African, for whom HAytss heart
blcd, but whom he didn't care to meet So
cially
HAYES and his party will make speeches
wherever they can find u knot of people
gathered to look at them during this tour.
HAYES should talk about the members Of
his Fraudulent Cabinet, as he did in New
England, and these should talk about the
Fraudulent President.

it, he may fail to get the Office altogether
We wish Brother SrOUGHToN wcll we are
touched by his travail we trust that he
may yet receive an Office; and we submit
these dcsultory observations 10 him in the

II is said that Mr. KEY Disguised with the
show business, and disheartcncd by the fail
ure of his proposal 10 barter the Federal
patronage for the votes OF Democratic Con-
gressmcn, IL about to retire from the Cabi-
net, and we had begun TO think OF fitting
his old boots to Brother SrouaHroN But
he must positively compose himself to
n more decent frame OF mind toward the
Confederate Brigadicrs, and he must not
run ranpaging into print, for all the world
like BLAINE himself, in laudation Of the
carpct-baggers whom Mr.. HAYES has cast
out, and in unsccmly vitupcration OF the
shriven TRAITORS" whom Mr.. HAYES has
taken to his outstrctchod arms. The
vacancy to be made by the carly abdication
Of the erring brother affords an oppor-
tunty for Brother STouGHToN to which
we look forward with satisfaction. Unless
the imprudcnccs OF which we have now
spoken, or the fact that he has been several
months at least in the Republican party,
shall stand in his way, Brother SroUGHToN
may be actually nearing the goal OF his
cherished ambition.

Of course, was useless. From this point he
pushed ON TO the Ashburton, which is the
largest Of the west coast rivers. This ho
designed to follow to its source, and then
investigate the whole watershed from
which such multitude OF streams run
westward II seemed probable that such
reservoir of rivers would have some outlet
on the cast side In this direction, il any
where, the lingering hope of new grazing
fields to be discovered in the interior was to
be satisfied.
These expectations, however, were not
realized, and even the length Of the Ashbur-
tons upper valley was found by GILES to
have been greatly ovcrcstimatcd. On the
eastern slope the watershed proved to bc
nothing but mass Of dwarf hills. which at
the 13sth meridian faded into the sandy

visited by FORREST and WARRINGTON, to the
south and north, was an unbrokcn expanse

Of animal life, and devoid of vegetation, ex-

the sage brush Of our American plains. One

and the remainder of its march TO the telc-

Hemmed between n series of coast ranges

Across the Australian Waste.

There is field Of exploration to which
general attention Is seldom drawn, yet in
which the last few years have witnessed
some striking proofs Of English pluck and
fortitude. We referred some time ago to
the journeys of Col. WARBURToN and of For
REST through the central Australian desert,
and we would now mark the last achieve
nent of ERNEST GILES, who has earned IA
place among the foremost OF modern travel
lers. His fifth and latest expedition was
IA iertaken in 1876 but his maps and jour
a. have only recently been published.
Seven years ago the whole interior Of
Australia, from the settlements on the west
coast to tho overland telegraph line which
bisccts the continent from south TO NORTH
was as utterly unknown as central Africa
or the islanu Of New Guinea Before CHANGING
at GILEs's fifth journey, it may be we'll to
sum up very briefly what has been effected
since 1870. In March OF that year. john
FORREST led the first overland expedition
into the back country OF South Aus
tralia, but its results were incon-
siderable. Two years later, ERNEST
GILES conducted an exploring party from
Chambers Pillar westward hut pushed no
further than the great salt lake Of Amadeus,
some three hundred miles long, which
seemed to bar progress in that direction. In
| 1873 Col. WAnBURTON set out from tho same
| point, and taking u northwest course made
| n series of effective observations as far as
| OakhOvcr river, but these were mainly en-
| braced within the twentieth and twenty
| first degrees OF south latitude In August
of the same year GILES started from Pcakc
station on the overland telegraph line, and
followed the twcnty-sixth parallel west
ward, being compelled, however, to
turn back before reaching the 18th
meridian, which may be considered
the midward line OF the desert. In 1874
FORREST carried out successfully his second
overland journey, beginning on the west
coast and keeping tolcrably close to the
twcnty-siXth parallel until he reached the
extreme end of GILEs's march, after which
he went on to the telegraph line along tho
route Of the latter traveller. In his third
and fourth journeys GILES explored the
north coast of the great Australian bay, and
then brought his party from Port Augusta
TO the west coast by IA course which lay DO
tween the twcnty-ninth and thrtietl
parallels. In this list we have omitted tho
expeditions of GossE and of Ross, as beng
relatively unimportant
We will look presently at the motives
prompting such strenuous exploration, hut
we may note here the significant fact thai
the expenses Of GILEs's third and fourtl
journeys, including the eighteen camcl'
which he took with him, were betrayed by

The Contest at Creedmoor,

To-day begins the long-awaitcd fall meet
ing at Crcedmoor. with Its five days sports.
eliminating ON Thursday and Friday IN the
worlds championship match between the
United States and the British Empire.
That this match will be close one the
preliminary practice clearly shows. The
shooting of the Americans has been very
brilliant, that OF the Britons very steady.
To illustrate, on Tuesday the former accom-
plished the marvellous and unprecedented
team score Of 1,654, but the day after fell to
1909: whereas the British, who made l,5si
on Tuesday, kept up to ,5s2 on Wednesday.
Again, taking the last four trials on Sept.
we find the three best British scores to he
those OF MILSER, PERCUSSION, and Hum
PhREy; on Sept. 4, those OF MILSER, FER
GUssoN, and q. FENToN; on sept. 5, those Of
q. FENToN. MILSER, and RIGBY; on Sept. s,
those Of MILSER, RIGBY, and q. FESToS.
That is, the best British shots remain, with
rare variation, clustered at the top Of the
score sheet in every successive trial. Now
note the shooting Of our Americans. They
have shot as team only twice since the
month opened. The first time, the four
highest scores were those of LAMB Jr, BLY,
DESBURGH, WEBER, and DAKIN; the next
time, the four highest were those of JEWELL,
BRUCE, BLYDENBURGH, and JACKSON, while
LAMB, WEBER and DAKIN had sunk to with
in one of the foot Of the list. falling Off an
average Of about ten points each
Finally, Creedmoor whose riiemcn are
now the champions, owes much Of its supc-
riority over Wimbledon and Dollymount To
its skllful system of team coaching and
assistance, as contrasted with the indie
pendent firing Of English, Scotch, and Irish
rillemen; but Sir HENRY HALPoRD has had
the good sense 10 adopt of late this chapter
Of American tactics, and has bettcrcd his
team totals in consequence.
These considerations, then point to close
match; and fortunate it is for the success OF
the meeting that the element of uncertaint )
in the chief contest is not 10 be wanting

The Board of Health checked the watering

The Board of Health checked the watering

the Investigations Of THE Sun within the last
two or three weeks have proved that the fraud

which was checked by the Board Of Health.

the milk business chiefly on the Harlem
Railroad which out Herods either Of the
frauds Of the dealers by the Erie in threatening
the lives Of the poor babies. Our reporters dis
