Factory Facts.

Close confinement, careful attention
to all factory work, gives the operatives
paid faces, poor appetite, languid, mis-
cradle feeling, poor blood, inactive liver,
kidneys and urinary troubles, and all
the physicians and medicine in the
world cannot help them unless they get
out doors or use Hop Bitters, made of
the purest and best of remedies, and
especially for such cases, having abund-
ance of health, sunshine and rosy
cheeks in them. None need suffer if
they will use them freely. They cost
but q trife. See another column. "

FRIENDs.-People who have warm

FRIENDS. who have warm
friends are healthier and happier than
those who have none. A single real
friend is treasure worth more than
gold or precious stones. Money can
buy many things, good and evil. All
the wealth of world could not buy a
friend or pay you for the loss of one.
81 have only wanted one thing to make
me happy" Hazlitt writes, g but want
ing that have wanted everything" And
again, my heart shut up ia a prison
house of this rude clay, has never found
nor will it ever find heart to speak
to-" We are the weakest of spendthrifts
if we let one friend drop off through
inattention, Or let one push away an
other; or if we hold aloof from one for
petty jealousy or needless slight or
roughness. Would you throw away q
diamond because it pricked you? One
good friend is not to be weighed against
the Jewels of the earth True Citizen.
The american Exchange this morning
says: It would seem that our grain
benefited by the Russo-Turkish war as
many predicted they would be. Not
withstanding the Turkish blockade of
the Black Sea, it is singular fact that
Russia furnished Europe with more
grain in 1877 than during the year pre-
vious. The returns show that while in
1876 Bussia exported 146, OS9, 900 busels
of grain, in 1877 she exported 1885,
625, 900, an increase of so, $50, 900 bush
els. While the exports from the Black
Sea ports fell off from 100000 to 49,
10000, the movement from the Bal
tic ports increased from 57,OOO,O0O to
"a 100000 and the overland movement
from 100000 to 61,O0O,OOO bushels.
Thus Russia has carried on a great con-
test and preserved her grain trade" Ta

MEAT FOR ENGLAND.
A New York special of July LIST says

shipment of live cattle ever sent out
from this port in single steam,
er. She took out 500 head brought
from Illinois and Kentucky over the
New York Central Railroad to the
New York Central stock yard and,
thence on the regular cattle-boat to
the steamer. Besides the cattle, there
are on the after-deck nailed up in
wooden coops nearly three hundred
head Of sheep shipped by John McDou-
gall, of New York, to Samuel Pool
London. These animals are sold in the
English markets for good prices. They

THE Mark Lane Express which is
considered authority on grain and
prices in England in its issue Of July
End concludes that there is decided
change for the letter in the appearance
Of the growing wheat crop. 1t adds
that at first sight the fields seem to
promise large crops, but in many fields
the ears are small With the exception
of barley and oats, the appearances at
present point to a fair average yield of
cerials as far as quantity is concerned,
while the quality is likely to be medi-
OGRE. The Insignificant supplies of
English wheat at Mark Lane and prov
inciai markets indicate rapid depletion
of stocks in farmers hands and that
little or nothing will be left over at
harvest time. The imports of foreign
wheat into London have been more
moderate of late. but the supplies go
into granary rather than consumption.
Small lots of white wheat have been
taken off the stands for continental &C
count, principally for Belgium and the
north of France, where the crops are
unsatisfactory and prices several shil-
lings higher than in London, but no
further sales of cargoes off coast have
taken place. Maize has not undergone
much change on the spot, but new
mixed American to arrive was offered
at 22s Sd per quarter ex-ship,-a price
hitherto unknown for this article. With
liberal arrivals at ports Of call, the
floating cargo trade for wheat is dull,
and prices declined fully a shilling per
quarter. Maize and barley receded
fully sixpence per quarter. ....... ...

The Berlin congress continues to
make good progress in the matter OF
settling the eastern troubles. The sec
ond rate powers have all been told what
they could have and they are dis
missed. England, Russia and Austria
have all been satisfied and poor old
Turkey is left to mourn. Despite the
opposition of Turkey, congress has
authorized Austria to occupy Bosnia
and Herzegovina, the rumors to that
effect which have been current the past
few days having been confirmed. The
English press takes widely different
views in regard to the results of con
gress. In one case the opinion is adj
vanced that Turkey would have gained
more had she submitted to the terms
offered her by Russia at the CONSTANT
nople conference. Another view is,
that England has met with a greater
success in the negotiations than had
been expected, success which has
been attained by firmness, and not by
unfair oyerbearance. Another journal
expresses the. opinion that still create,
results must be gained, or England viii
have failed in securing triumph. The
press of st. Petersburg takes an entire
ly different view of the present situa-
ton of affairs, and considers that the
results attained are due to the success
ability, and prudence of Russian diplo-
macy, and that Russia has gained the
object it sought, in having changed the
views of Europe in regard to the in
tegrity of Turkey.

Scores of reaping machines have al

REFORM BY EXPOSURE.

Newspaper exposures have done more Of late
years to suppress gambling in its more often
sive forms than all the Courts and Legisla-
lures put together Nine-tenths of the gam
bling bells of New Ork and there were over
100 of them at the time-were broken up
three years ago by The TRIBUNE exposures.
The police of that day were forced to raid the
gamblers mercilessly or be ranked among their
protectors. The fact that captains and super
ntendents of police were interested in keno
games of great magnitude could not prevent
the breaking up of the dens. The sale of
pools was stopped in 1876 by like efforts of
this paper. Several months ago Illegal lot
teries were virtually abandoned by their man
ayers in consequence of The TRIBUNE's expos
ures, and we make further revelations this
morning in reference to the Georgia Lottery,
which we do not doubt will go far toward
closing up another equally iniquitOus.
II such results can be accomplished by these
means, what is there to prevent the police and
the District Attorney from dispensing the en-
tire crowd of swindlers3 There is no excuse
for permitting the gambling hells, lotteries
pools, etc, which still exist, for they are all
swindling games alike. The police know every
room, Office and hotel in which this Illicit and
demoralizing business is carried on. The Dis
trict Attorney knows the rOgues who ply the
trade, for he has most of their names written
on the backs of suspended indictments in his
Office Why should both police and District
Attorney leave to us the entire duty of this
prosecution
An officer having the special authority of the
United States proposes to prosecute this matter.
Weshould be sorry to find it necessary for him to
do so in consequence of the neglect of our local
authorities. If he should be successful-and we
have found that 1t requires only little per-
slstence to succeed in so simple a matter-what
shall wo have to think of the Police Commits
sioners and the District Attorney who will so

so rapidly that its chances for doing mischief are
very small. It's thought now that the new party
will do little harm in the Congressional Districts;
and that full Republican delegation will he re-
turned The principal canse CT the tronbe seems to
be that the party splits into hopeless confusion
whenever IL attempts TO make nomination.
Secretary Sherman has been explaining his re-
ported declaration in favor Of third term. He
admits that he remarked in private conversation
that in the present state of public sentiment under
the existing excitement over the possibility OF the
Democrats getting control of the Government thus
virtually reviving the rebellion. if the National
Convention were to be held tomorrow, General
Grant would be renomnated, but his election
would not be certain. He spoke only of the situa-
tiOn at present, and had reference to what may
or may not occur two years hence. He does not SEQ
how this remark can be considered indicate for
member of the Administration to make, since the
President has declared bis unalterable purpose not
TO be candidate for reelection. This will knock
Mr.. Hastead's second term movement into
cocked-hat.
Efforts for union of the Nationals with the Demo
Gratis do not succeed very well anywhere. The
trouble always is that both parties want the offices.
and neither is willing TO give in to tho other This
disposition is likely to neutralze the mischief
making capacity Of the Nationals in nearly all the
Congressional districts. As there is only one Con-
gresham, both factions cannot nave MIN, ana IL
one succeeds in out-maneuvring the other, the re-
snlt is pretty likely TO be another ticket In nearly
all the districts in the Eastern and Middle States
where the new party has been especially dangerous
the outcome is likely to be regular third party can
didates against the Republicans and Democrats
There are undoubtedly some instances where three
tickets will help the Democrats, but they will
Oftener help the Republicans, for the Nationals
draw more largely from the Democratic strength.
There are signs that the bulldOzer is abroad al
ready in South Carolina. In the Abbeyie District
he is at work trying to discourage" all attempts
at Republican organization. The Democratic news
papers declare that a Republican ticket has been
completed and is being circulated secretly among
the negroes. This seems to be looked upon as
crime for the white citizens called upon to take
the matter in hand and act vigorously In Edge
field, a similar dark scheme has been uncovered.
and an excited editor declares that two Republic
cans are at the bottom of the movement and calls
for their arrest and hanging IL they are discovered
in political Vaccinations. Here is the cheerful lam
guage: Yes we mean exactly what we say. IL
those named and others dare to inaugurate
political schemes in Edgeiield again, let us hang
them. Not only self-respect, but our safety

dOzer what he means.

day the difficulty grows more serious. Ihere
is no dispute about the need of new buildingj
there Is no difficulty at all about beginning

The Signal Service cannot get decent pay.
The Army is perpetually hacked at by dema-
gOgues who hate it and ignOramuses who DO
not know IT'S value. The Navy has never had
decent treatment from the Democracy since
the JeffersOnian party neglected and depre-
ciated it In the days when cambridge ana
Decatur were unfolding the honor of our flag.
Yesterday THE TRIBUNE showed what the
Democrats have recently done for the Post
Office. By great skill nd labor the Govern
ment organized fast-mail services Con-
gress Immediately reduced the compensation
and broke it up. The Government went to
work again and restored the fast mails CIV
ing business men all over the country an
enormous increase of mail facilities, and Gre
ating a service of which the Nation had rea-
son really to be proud. Again, without the
shadow of a cause, the compensation was re-
duced, although the work was enormously
augmented, and even calculating at this
second reduced rate there is an arbi-
trary deficiency of half a million dol
lars in the appropriation, which will in
volve still third reduction, since the
Postmaster General is not allowed to incur
any expense beyond the appropriation. This
has brought to full stop various plans OF
the department for further expediting the
mails, and threatens to break up the fast
service altogether And all because the Dem
ocratic majority at Washington is ignorant
and obstinate.
The American people are wonderfully pa
tent, but this tampering with important in
terests by a class of politicians who do not
know what mischief they, are doing is not to
be borne forever.

presume the decree would have been promptly

bility Of excluding from its benefits all miscreant
cartmen who persist in sleeping in Brooklyn. That
the Aldermen may have further opportunity for the
popular exercise of marrying Brooklyn truclSmen

is still chance that an abuse which now exists by
custom may not be ratified by law. 1t is
