The End OF a .Miracle."

The miracle of Mauch Chunk has received
its quietus from the Catholic Archbishop OF
Philadelphia 1t is to be charitably charac-
terized as delusion, and Father Heinen
will, no doubt, as an obedient churchman,
60 about saving souls as usual and leave
Miracles to history and consumptives to
the doctors. This is very wise conclusion
of the business, and one which the
HERALD claims no especial prophetic
honors for predicting. Miracles are
a luxury which churches nowadays must
use very sparingly, and yet pious and
credulous priest may think it very hard to
have his Church robbed of what he thinks
great testimony to the faith. AS for Miss
Greth, the .privation is great one indeed.
She. must sink into Pennsylvania Dutch
oblivion with her little guardian angel,
whom nobody will believe she sees or hears.
Walk up and down the hills of Mauch
Chunk as she may, her renovated lungs will
draw no breaths Of comfort. The doctors,
with their usual cold scalpel air, will
move about in triumph. There is to be
no invasion of their business. What would
be the use of sickness if it sent folks to
another profession for relief? "Nervous or
hysterical pathophobia," says one worthy
Esculapian with wave Of his stethoscopc,
.'is what the lady had" That is enough to
discourage any maiden lady with leaning
to the supernatural. Hereafter, as that
doctor walks up and down hilly Mauch
Chunk, he will thank Archbishop Wood
and mutter free translation Of the old
French distich, something in this wise:-

Not Charley Ross.

The failure Of Mr.. Ross to trace any re-
semblance between the sun-browned boy
from Demerara and the sunny-curled dar-
ling he lost nearly four years ago will, we
fancy, cause sigh of regret throughout the
country. The story of the abduction hns
sunk deeply into the American heart, be-
cause it needed but small exercise of
imagination to bring the sorrow it typi6es
vividly before the eyes of those whose homes
are made bright by childron. The glamour
of large reward for the return Of the stolen
boy has naturally riveted the attention of
another class upon every detail of the fruit
less search. When, too the tragedy at Bay
Ridge was enacted wherein the two abb
ductors, Mosher and Douglas, expiated all
shotgun, lurid light was shed over
the painful story. It was Nemesis, but the
fates only lifted corner of the dark curtain
to stretch forth the arms that dragged the
criminals to their miserable doom. Not
breathing space was given them to tell
whether the boy was alive or dead. There
was, perhaps, something merciful in this,
for the best judges at the time concluded
that the wretches, finding the search so hot
and the public SO unanimous in its execra-
ton of their deed, had added murder to
abduction sooner than attempt the hopeless
task of securing the reward while shielding
themselves. Whether this conjecture was
the true one or not it seems now almost GER
tain that the mystery can never be solved.
Apart from the great difficulty of identified
ton it must be remembered that for the past
two years every inducement of immunity
and reward has been held out to those who
could restore the boy.

eral revival of business. With the new
economies expected in the .administra-
ton of the canals, and with such additions
to their business as will naturally attend q
revival of prosperity, it is possible that they
may be worked to their full capacity
on self-supporting basis. The idea Of
making them a burden on the taxpayers
will not be adopted until it shall have been
demonstrated that their business cannot be
kept up after full trial of the new system
of management in period of ordinary pros
perity. We are trying the system Of low
tolls, aud are about to try the new manage
ment in time of business depression; and
the people will think these enough in the
way of experiment until their full value
can be tested in better state OF general
business We do not dispute that the canals
must finally be free, but the time has not
yet come for making that proposal with

Tn. or.eI.n Complie.tton.

AS a wayfaring man. who may have been
both fool and tramp, went forth on the
wintry roads in the rural districts he was
assailed by the terriers and watch dogs of
the neighborhood, which showed their teeth
with much demonstration. Endeavoring to
defend himself by the wayfarers most con-
venient weapon he found that the stones
were oil frozen to the earth, and he cried
out in the dialect OF his native land,
bad cess to the place where all the
dogs are let loose and all the stones
tied fast" Ii this is not true
the chroniclers of tho school Of j. Miller,
Esq, are to blame; but, true or false, new
or DID, the story illustrates happily enough
the predicament of this poor old barbarian,
the Turk, in his European perambulations.
For him, indeed. il is true that all cle-
ments that may menace him in any form
are let loose, and all means of defence are
tied fast. His latest wonderful experience in
this way is with Greece. Hellenic troops
march into the territory recognized as his
by the public law of Europe. assaiI his
strongholds and drivo out his soldicry.
They make war on him, in fact. Then the
Sultan wakes up, rubs his eyes and finds he
is at war with Greece. Forthwith he de-
spatches his fleet to make war in his turn,
and all the way from Constantine
pie he can see tho Athenians tremble
at what is TO happen. But, behold |!
ere he gets at them the foreign
Ministers in Athens rise up TO guarantee the
Pirnus against bombardment. 1t is all very
we'll for Grccco to make war on Turkey, bnt
when Turkey wants to return the compli-
ment it is not we'll in the least. On the
contrary, there is IL pother about civiliza-
ton. Certainly it is a very funny war in
which all the hitting must be done by one
side; and it is not strange if simple
minded barbarian fails to fully compre-
hend it,

Rine Prospects for 1873.

The accumulated victories of American
rihemen are guarantee of the vigor with
which this healthy and nationally valuable
sport will be pursued during the present
year. The eminence attained can only be
kept by constant work and recruitment
1t is therefore eminently desirable that
wherever throughout the country the
sport has gained foothold proper
stimulus to improvement should be az
association in the past certainly entities its
decisions 10 respect, but the time is fast
coming when an organization more truly
national shall take its place Elsewhere is
reported the meeting yesterday of tho
Board Of Directors of 'the National
Rife Association" at which it was
announced that replies had been re-
ceived from the Adjutants General of
twenty-one States to the circular notifying
them Of their election as honorary men,
bers. This is not enough. AS active heads
of associations within their respective Com
monwealths they would be valuable MEM
bers of national association, but, as
''honorary members" 60, they will not give
much national backbone to the association.
We desire to see our local organization go
forward in it's we'll performed work. but
to create board with national authority
the work must be set about in more prac-
tical form than tacking on honoraries The
programme announced for the spring meet
ing at Creedmoor is a great improvement
on it's predecessors, and is fully justified
by the number OF. good marksmen coming
to the front. 1t is to be hoped that this
years match for the Centennial Trophy
will bring goodly number of COM
peting teams before the butts, and
that nothing will be left undone
to secure SO desirable q result. We do not
altogether like the announcement at the

the rock. OF the public credit and
the waters gushed forth 2" He knew
we'll enough that the public credit was SO
wonderfully established by certain laws of
Congress but the credit Of those laws be-
longed to the master mind that conceived
them and the energy that secured their
adoption. The story which Jefferson told
in his ''Anas" respecting the Assumption
law is decisive as to Hamilton's successful
son had just then returned from France and
did not understand the situation. He says
that Hamilton met him on his way to the
Presidents, walked him up and down for
long time in front of the Presidents door
steps. explained to him the hitch which
had arisen. on this measure in Con-
gress and solicited his influence to
help it through. Jefferson accordingly
invited Hamilton to dine with him the next
day and bring some of his friends, promis-
ing also to invite some of his own, and
arrangements were made ut that dinner for
exerting influence enough to secure the
passage of the bill. jefferson felt afterward
that he had been duped, because he found
that he did not approve of the bill; but the
anecdote is none the less decisive as to
Hamilton's successful attemptS. to manage
Congress. 1t is we'll known that Mr.
Chase was in !. constant intercourse with
the financial committees Of both houses
and with other influential members,
and that it was by means of snch inter-
course that he carried his measures. At the
session when he first proposed the National
Banking law Mr. Hooper was the only men,
Der of Congress that gave it any support,
but by persistent pushing for two years Mr..
Chase finally persuaded Congress to adopt
it. We need not multiply instances; they
are familiar to every student Of our polit-
cal history, and in the light of them Mr..
Hayes fastidiousness seems the mark OF
man not we'll vcrsed in national affairs.

DR.. H.y.. aud the canals.

The proposed amendments of the State
constitution introduced by DR.. /. I. Hayes
is probably premature, although we may
have to come to it in time In order to
make the navigation of the canals free the
property of the State would have to be
taxed about one million dollars per annum
for running expenses and to keep them in
order. The people of the rural districts,
especially in parts Of the State remote from
the canals, will not consent to such bur-
den at present. The canals have here
tofore been an important source Of
revenue. Those days are undoubtedly
past forever, but it will take the
people some little time to reconcile
themselves to the loss of revenue before
they can be brought to accept an annual
burden instead. The Legislature has adopted
the toll sheet Of last year, which merely
pins to collect money enough for the ex-
penses OF administration and repairs. Fur
ther changes Of policy will have to await
the result of the new system Of management

Russia and the Conference.

At least three great Powers-Germany,
France and Italy-have responded favorably
to the invitation to send representatives to
General Conference at Vienna England.
Turkey and Austria, of course, will also be
of the party; and Russia cannot afford to
stay away, although the present opinion in
st. Petersburg is that the Conference is u
device OF England and Austria to
cheat Russia by diplomacy out Of
the legitimate fruits Of her success
as o conqueror. Indeed, Russia has no
reason to regard the Conference in Il
favorable light, and would be justified in
''spiking" this diplomatic project if there
were any fair or feasible way of doing it,
since she has either actually gained by the
war all she wants or could easily gain it,
and might well desire. to be left to settle
terms with her vanquished enemy. But to
England the Conference is like full suit
of Boyton's life preservers thrown out to
a drowning man. Over council table at
Vienna she hopes to gain all that she would
have fought for in the war, if she could
have fought at all. Her endeavors there
will be to reduce by all allowable or un-
allowable arts the advantages that shall be
accorded by common consent to the con-
queror and the endeavor Of Austria will
be the same in kind, but it will be pur-
sued timidly and with many furtive glances
toward Berlin in apprehension of how far
the omnipotent Power there may be pleased
to let Austria pursue her own ipclinations.
But the date for the Conference is not
named, nor is there definite understand
ing anywhere or power to reach such On
understanding as to the relation the nego-
tiations there to be carried on will
bear to the negotiations actually in prog
ress between Russia and Turkey. This
Conference is not to make treaty Of peace
between the belligerents. Although it is to
consider the general interests Of Europe in
Oriental relations as the Congress at Paris
did in 1885, it is not as that body did, to
make the treaty that shall end the present
war. Russia will no doubt push
the conclusion with Turkey of a
treaty on the bases indicated, admitting
all the time with world Of polite formali-
ties that any parts of it questioned by a
great Power shall not have binding force
until ratified by the Conference. But by
this means she will present to the Con-
ference, not an Oriental chaos, out of which
it may create such an order as it pleases,
but IN established order founded upon con-
quest and sustained by nearly million Of
soldiers. and based upon treaty concluded
with the conquered Power. Europe, and
every government in Europe, has respect
for accomplished facts, and to ask Europe
to sustain IN Ottoman Empire that exists is
quite another thing from asking it to re-
establish and reconstruct such an empire
when it has been destroyed by war and par
celled out between conquering States
England will discover this great difference
in the deliberations of the Conference be-
fore it has gone very far. 1t must not be
forgotten that this Conference is only the
latest phase of negotiation in which Rus
sin, Germany and Austria have been con-
stantly on one side and England and Turkey
on the other.
