Yesterday evening the people hurrying
home after business were puzzled to find
flakes Of snow falling from On apparently
clear sky. Above tho stars were shining
quite brightly, but there was the snow
blowing around the street corners with the
fitful gusts Of wind that blew coldly from
the westward. Away over Bergen Point
and Staten Island the sky was clouded, and
there is no doubt that some of the snow
came from that quarter, falling from the
high level strata Of yapor. But with a
surface temperature Of about thirty-eight
degrees q consid cradle condensation of at
mospheric vapor was going on over the city,
and this water, or fine rain, falling through
a stratum of cold air became snow. 1t does
not follow that this process would produce
cloud or even haze to obscure the starlight,
as the snow formed OF q much lower level
than that at which condensation converted
atmospheric moisture into rain, and the
snow fell as fast as formed. A recent ex-
perience in the Arctic seas has shown that
even in that icy region waves Of warm air
pass northward over the country without
being always perceptible at the surface. On
the Alert it was found one day that the
temperature, suddenly rising after intense
cold, was three degrees higher at the main
mast head than on the deck, and that below
the surface Of the ice for several feet the tenn
perature was rs low as fifty degrees below
freezing point Under these conditions
rain would first be formed in fine particles
under the stratum Of warm, moist mir, and
it would then become snow before reaching
the ground, while passing through the cold
substratum Of air.

ya-ro,u Men.

From the days Of Dogbcrry, at least, it
has been the duty of the watch to compre-
bend all vagrom men, and in the spirit Of q
liberal Interpretation of terms the police
may be taken as the equivalent of the watcly
saving only the point that they do not al.
ways watch. But the duty in regard to ''va-
grom men" is one on which they are dis
posed to act, as shown by at least three
cases in their exploits for Thursday. On that
day the watch challenged in the Princes
name that chronic ''vagrom man, DIR. Mary
Walker-for, since il is the tailor that makes
the man, she is one Of them of course. But
she chose to exercise woman's prerogative
rs to speech, or forgot her pantaloons as it
were. But the only complaint was that she
would not tell horrid policeman whether
she was man or q woman. And she was
taken into custody and dragged to Police
Headquarters for holding her tongue. Did
ever woman so suffer in such cause
before this woman? On tho same day
there was free fight between five men in
Sixth avenue, and people were "hooied"
and handled roughly in miscellaneous
way. An enormous croWu Bntnercu, put

| the usual formula-and fell into his
brothers arms. "The rest they ran away"
Evidently one Of the fugitive three was a
homicide--so far as any one could then tell.
Two of the fugitiyes were caught and
handed over to policeman who happened
that way. Confronted with the supposed
victim of the murderous assault he said
neither Of these was the man who shot
him, and the policeman thercupon let them

the attention of justice. But on the Same

If all the points Of the remarkable aHi-
davit Of the plaintiff in Gelston We. The
Brooklyn Tabernacle are substantiated it
will appear that churches, as we'll as other
organizations with business affairs to attend
to, need the occasional services Of ON expert
bookkeeper. The public, like many of Mr..
Talmages parishioners, has been led TO sup
pose that the debt of the Tabernacle was
annihilated by that great debt leveller, Mr..
Kimball but Mr. Gelston swears that the
subscriptions for taking up the debt were
contingent upon the raising OF the full
amount of Indebtedness; that this last was
understated to the extent Of about twenty
five thousand dollars; that statements made
by the pastor and other church officials
were incorrect and with intent to deceive;
that the great 'jubilee meeting" over the
payment Of the debt was great humbug, q
large portion Of the debt remaining unpro-
vided for, and many Of the subscriptions
having been made by minors who were
without legal responsibility. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that the trustees Of church
are business men who are conversant with
the four elementary rules Of arithmetic; but
if this superstition proves erroneous in the
case of the Tabernacle the aggricyed men,
bers should not forget that an expert book.
keeper is moro likely than an unfraternal
squabble to properly adjust matters.

In his testimony before the Indian Com
mission the Secretary of the Interior has
expressed some peculiar views upon the
abilities of army officers. Disavowing, as
any sensible man would do. any desire to
embarrass his own department with the
management of Indian affairs, the Secretary
more than implies that army officers are
incompetent as business managers and
humanitarians to properly care for
the savagss. As the transactions of the
Indian Bureau to date have been what they
have been it would be insulting to any
body of respectable men of known sanity
to use them a; basis of comparison but.
looking to the future, in what respect would
the army officers be likely to fail? They
may not all be saints. but it is impossible
that they can be such thieves as the gen.
eral run of Indian agents have been
our savage wards would receive rations.
blankets and other allowances in full guam
tity and according to standard. This fact
alone would prevent the cause Of many nm
unnecessary outbreak An Indian war is
to the American soldier the most nrduous,
thankless, dangerous and inglorious duty
that lie can possibly encounter; SO it is
probable that lie would see to il that dealers
in whiskey and ammunition were sup
pressed, and, consequently, the likelihood
of outbreak would be still further lessened.
TO keep the Indians quiet, compel them to

their property requires degree Of frmness
and habit OF authority and discipline
which can nowhere else he found in
such perfection as in the army. AS
for capacity to educate and civilize
the Indians, it is impossible that hu-
the army rs among Indian agents, and the
widest apologist for the existing method
will not claim that any civilian class of gov
eminent employees is as we'll educated and
intelligent as the officers Of the army. The
Secretary cannot imagine the picture Of
uniformed warrior teaching little redskins
to read and write, but does he imagine
civilian agents will do such work ? Teachers,
farmers, &C., would be employed for their
special labors. just as hundreds Of civilians
are now employed by the War Department
for duty under military supervision. Dis
cipline, system, inspection, accountability,
restraint and harmony of action would char
acterize army management from the first
and these would be more val uable to the
Indians and tho national honor than any set
Of substitutes that the Interior Department
can devise and perfect before the savages
are exterminated by the rum, rufianism and
rascality which have nearly always worked
their own sweet will in Indian affairs.

Strikes on n more or less extensive scale
arc said to be in course of organization on
several of the horse car lines. 1t is evident
that the organizers have fine field for
their operations and great chance for suc-
cess. They intend, and hope. of course, to
hurt the companies. Alas they may ruin
them, which perhaps they do not intend.
For fear they may We shall tell them how
to do it, because the danger Of those com
panies moves our sympathies. They have
only to organize strike which shall stop
the lines for three days. They can do that
Of course, else what is all this we hear
about tho tremendous power of labor and
the laboring men? If they stop line for
three days the remnant Of people who now
use it will be forced to use the elevated. =
Those people will thereby discover. what
perhaps they do not now know, that the
elevated" is in operation, is safe, conven-
lent, comfortable and swift. They will never
return to the horse line again, and it will
perish. II needs the pressure of some cri-
sis to force upon many people the knowl-
edge Of the progress that has been made
under their very noses. SO, II the drivers
do not want to actually destroy the EN-.
ployment they quarrel with they would dc
well to strike as little rs possible JUS,

As the republicans will have nearly or
quite one hundred members in the next
Assembly out of one hundred and twenty
eight it is tolerably certain that the posi-
ton Of Speaker will be filled from the re-
publican ranks. This being the case the
old politicians Of the party are ready to
seize upon the Office as if they held pre-
emption claim emitting their bid to con-
sideration before that of any new aspirant.
Thus in discussions as to the Speakership
contest we.hear Of the comparative chances
Of Hustled and Alvord and Sloan, or Of
Sloan and Alvord and Hustled. as if the
choice Of the members elect were to be nee
essarily confined to these former occupants
Of the office to the exclusion of oil others.
But there are number Of new members in
the next Assembly, and it is possible that
they may claim the privilege of looking
around and judging tor themselves whether
there are not others beside former capable
presiding officers who hsvo good claim to
the honor. 1t would not be at all sur
prising if they should reach the conclusion
that some such experienced and efficient
representative as Hamilton Fish, Jr., or
DR.. Isaac /. Hayes would make desirable
Speaker, and would moreover give tone to
the character of the session by infusing new
blood, as it were, into the Legislative
system. The large party majority renders
necessary those skilful parliamentary
tricks in which some of the chronic candi-
dates for the Speakership are supposed TO
excel, and certainly the dignity, fairness
and intelligence which arc desirable in
that high office would be as we'll supplied
by Mr.. Fish or Dr. Hayes as by Mr.. Alvord
or Mr.. Hustled. 1t would not be surpris-
ing, and it certainly would not be unwise, if
the next House of Assembly, which meets
at a critical period in the fortunes Of the
republican party, should lift the machine
out Of the old rut by electing as Speaker
some new candidate who does not claim to
hold mortgage on the Office.

Afghanistnn in Parliament.

Nobody can blame the British Ministry
for the desire to have its policy discussed
in conditions which promise more for the
government than for its adversaries but it
is plain that an anxiety on this point inn
plies that the Cabinet does not face the
opposition with the absolute confidence it
exhibited some months since. Both the
proposition advanced by the opposition dis
approving the war on the Afghans and the
proposition Of the government, made as
required by law, that the Indian revenues
may be applied to defray the expenses of
the war, may lead to debate in which the
whole conduct Of the government can be
taken up +; but the resolution for which the
government refuses to name a day faces
the subject fairly and presents it without
complication, while the other presents it
inextricably entangled with financial topic
that has no relation to the merits Of the
policy Perhaps this point will not affect
the freedom of the debate, but when the
vote comes the government may have ma
jority, though the opinion of tho House
may be against its policy, for many will
vote to give permission which will ulti-
mately take some or all the financial burden
of the shoulders of the British taxpayer,
though they would vote to rebuke the max
ing Of thewar if they had an uncompli-
Gated opportunity to do SO. AS the gov
eminent thus seems to distrust its late ma
jority the hint to prepare for general
election may be more than mere ruse.
