schoolrooun Headaches.

Many people who have public school
teachers among their acquaintance are
firmly Of the opinion that the schoolroom
has headache system all lis own, and their
impression would be strengthened If they
were to interview boys and girls There is
nothing strange. about the complaint the
only wonder is that 1t is not continuous md
that anybody escapes it. With systems Of
heating and ventilation that are almost uni
fcrmly detective, and. worse yet, under the
control Of janitors who have no knowledge
whatever OF these departments of their
business, and who ore as apt as any
other men to neglect or despise whatever
they do not understand, many of our school
rooms are boxes almost Theoretically sealed,
into which hot air is being driven and COM
pressed. The heat is frequently intolerable,
the expired breath and other physical cma-
nations OF the children pollute the Dir to q
degree extremely dangerous 10 health, so

collision rests more with the Morgan than

made it difficult to manage vessels in a swift
current during the night. We are curious
to know if any notice of an approaching
storm, to affect the Lower Mississippi, Was
given in New Orleans on Saturday, and if
the river steamers pay any attention to such
notices? 1t is proper to note that the OIL
GERS and regular hands OF the lost steamer
behaved with commendable courage,
quality happily not wanting in American
captains and crews.

National Quarantine.

An important part Of the Presidents Mes
sage is given to the consideration Of the
ravages Of the yellow fever in the Southern
States and to the suggestion that Congress
shall pass law enabling the government
to institute at all threatened points a sys-
tenn of quarantine for vessels from foreign
ports. An efficient quarantine against the
tropical countries from which the yellow
fever comes to this country would, in the
opinion of all persons acquainted with the
disease, absolutely protect us, as the fever,
they are convinced, never originates within
the limits of the United States. If their
observations are accurate in this particu-
lar-and there is no sound argument
against their theory-proper quarantine
at New Orleans and other Gulf ports would
render impossible, in the measure OF its
vigilance, the repetition of such summers
as the last in the Mississippi, and equally
render those disastrous visitations impossi-
bic elsewhere. Neither need such a quar-
antine be conducted on the ground that
non-intercourse is our only safety. That,
it is true, is the doctrine of the yellow fever
committee which reported its inquiries to
the National Health Association. But the
experience Of this port proves that commu-
mites may be protected in their health
without injury to comm cree. All this is o
subject the President has wisely brought
to the notice Of Congress, which We hope
may deal with it as wisely.

In the Muddy Mississippi.

Disasters that thrill the world with hor-
ror do not always occur where we have
accustomed ourselves to look for them.
Wrecks and fatal collisions at sea have
given many an unfortunate o watery grave,
while wrecks and collisions on the iron
highways of the land have also filed up the
death rolls that from time to time are read
in our columns. But when disaster over

the community and people Justly doubt
whether there is solitary place Of safety
on earth. The loss Of the steamer Cotton
Valley by collision with the steamer
Morgan on Sunday morning, the details of
which appear in our special dispatches
to-day, furnishes another melancholy in
stance Of the insecurity to life on one Of
the best known water routes in the world.
Although the number Of lives lost Is COM
paratively small, and bears Q marked con-
trast to that sacrificed recently on the River
Thames in England, it is only by for
tunate accident that we are not called on
to deplore as awful catastrophe. One
steamer--the Cotton valleyis going
up stream and rounding bend.
Another--the Morgan--is coming down

engines and a swift current. She also rounds

awakened unfortunates, who jump from their
sleeping places to find the decks under
water. Some are brave, others frantic

The Dairy Fair.

Governor Seymour's address at the OPEN
ing Of the fair for the exhibition of dairy
mems products puts before the reader very
chastely and happily the purposes and prog
ress, the system, the various excellenccs
OF method and the enormous successes ac-
tually achieved by the Dairymens Associa-
tion. 1t is true it seems to lead up to the
national apotheosis Of cheese to the view
that the glory Of the world is based firmly
and Enthusiastically upon this sapid and nu-
tri,ious substance. 1t carries just o
step further certain ancient astronomi-
cal theory Of how the world was
held up, for under the tortoise upon
which all was superimposed it put the
firm support OF a yearly cheese of million
or more tons weight. People, says Gov
ernor Seymour, rail about banks as il all
the prosperity in the world depended upon
them, and one years product Of butter and
cheese will more than buy the whole money
circulation Of the country. Perhaps the
sudden growth and great proportions Of the
cheese and butter manuiactory is the most
remarkable point yet in our industrial and
commercial history. Philosophers who have
said great deal on the theory of co-opera-
ton az the source of satisfaction and weslth
will do we'll TO study the system Of the
American cheese factories as practical
and successful application Of all that is good
in their idea.

The Great Unknown.

1t has been said that the world knows
little OF it's greatest men. The truth Of this
saying must have come home to our readers
Sunday morning when they took up their
Her LID and read that the great contest be-
tween the friends Of the most popular gen.
eral in the country for til, sword at the
Cathedral fair had resulted in favor Of the
unknown and the unsung Wiley. Hancock
was beaten. Shields, with the wounds
and the honors Of two wars upon
him, was vanqushcd. Mcclellan, the
young Napoleon Of our early war days, was
rcmanded to back seat Joe Johnston,
the greatest soldier OF the rebellion, was
unable to muster a corporal's guard OF nd
mirers. Sheridan and his famous charger
were distancei, while sherman and the
hundred generals who marched with him
down into Georgia, and Grant, who received
the sword ofthe Confederacy at Appomattox,
melted into thin air as tho conquering
Wiley swept to the head of the lists in the
great Cathedral competition. Twas great
day for Wiley. But who is he? As
we read the story Of his triumph
we turned to our war histories to
find the battles he had fought, the forts
he had taken, the cities he had captured,
the thousands he had slain. But among
ten thousand heroes in the long list Of bat
ties from Sumter to Richmond the name Of
Wiley, our Wiley, was conspicuous only by
its absence and we became more than ever
convinced that fame was fable and history
lie. Else why was our Wiley ignored and
forgotten? 1t is cause for congratulation,
however, that Justice has at last been done
our great hero and that the conspiracy Of
the historians to rob him Of his Justly
earned honors has been defeated. If it had
not been for the great Cathedral fair and the
exercise Of the one-man power of Tammany
Hall our Wiley would in all probability
have gone down to his grave unhonored
nnd unwept. In rescuing our warrior
from oblivion Mr.. Kelly has earned
an additional claim upon our gratitude.
He has added another brilliant name-the
most brilliant Of ALTO the long roll Of our
heroes If the discovery had been made
sooner what might not have taken place |?
In all probability Grant would never have
been President and our Wiley would to-day
be the recipient Of all but royal honors in
the capitals Of the world. Now that Mr..
Kelly has made great general, il he could
not make Mayor. and that our Wiley is at
lastappreciated as he ought to be, we COM
mend him to the king-seeking Bulgarians
as the man Of all men for their monarch.
Our Wiley, not Grant, is the hero they
want, for has not Mr.. Kelly shown that he
is first in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts Of his countrymen?
