THE mechanics and operatives of this country know little about the misery which enforced idleness entails upon the working peoples of Europe. In countries like Italy, for instance; wages are ordina- rily so low that nothing can be saved, and lack Of employment means loss of the necessaries of life and starvation. The workingmen of England are at this moment suffering terrible hardships, While Lord Beaconsfeld is pursing his ambitious policy, applauded by the "Jingo" party, with the boast that En- gland is richer than her neighbors, the state of trade in that country is such as to alarm political economists, and hungry men and women are driven to the verge of despair. The cotton and iron trades are in very bad way, and all the depen- dent industries suffer. Large failures have thrown tens of thousands out of employment, and, owing to the scarcity of landj and the large holdings, there is no relief as in this country, every man can secure farm by settling omit. American worllingmer have every reason to be thankful that their lines are cast in a land of plenty, and they should endure with courage and confidence the compara- tivly slight ills under which they are temporarily laboring. For the future prosperity of this country is as sure as resources have only begun to be deve- loped, but the strides we have made since the war are the wonder of all who study the growth of our great interests.

A Badly Treated Inventor.

The famous steel manufacturer, Henry Bessemer complains of gross injustice done him by the British Government He says that after long study, he invented a stamp which saved the Government e100000 a year, and was asked by the authorities if instead of receiving a sum of money down he would be satisfied with a post of Superintendent of Stamps at e60O or $500 year. Although forty-five years have elapsed since the offer was made, he has not received either the money or the appointment. He says that excuses followed each other with long delays between, until he saw the whole thing sliding out of his grasp. He had no patent to fall back on; he could not go to law even if he had wished to. The Grown, m whose name these things were done have the inventor at its mercy, and it gave him neither smile nor shilling from the beginning to the end. All that it has done for him is to forbid him with others to accept the decoration of the Legion of Honor awarded to him at the Paris Exhibition.

TIE RUNNING OF TELEGRAPH WIRES As to the cause of the sounds frequently heard to proceed from telegraph wires in the open air, it has been customary to accept the wind, as producing the sounds by direct vibration similar to those of the 1Eolian harp. A writer in an Austrian journal, however, calls attention to the fact that one who gives close observation to both the wire and sounds will find that the latter make themselves obvious like wise when there is a total absence ofwind; :; and in a quiet morning in winter appear covered with frost to the thickness of a finger, they nevertheless carry on lively vibrations and swinging, while the air is totally quiet. According 10 this writer therefore the vibrations are due net to the wind but to the changes Of atmospheric temperature, and especially through the action of cold, as lowering of the tenn perature induces a shortening of the wires, extending over the whole length oi the conductor. A considerable amount of friction is produced on the supporting bells, thus inducing sound both in the wires and the poles.

SOME few years ago Captain Trussell discovered in the channel, about five miles from the Santa Barbara shore, bed of coral that is said to be in every way equal in quality to that found in the China seas. There is some talk of a party being made up to explore the neigborhood and endea- vor to discover the whereabouts of the reef It is not very extensive one as far as is known, At the time of discovery the Captain fshed up some specimens with an apparatus made for the purpose by l G.

WE regret to hear complaints that Gov ernor-General Lorne is putting on too much style at Ottawa, aping the manners of European royalty, andusing ceremonies which are tedious and meaningless. This is a grave error, and we courteOusly advise the young man not to be silly. He mar ried into a very respectable family, but the Canadians do not want to be treated as ii they were of an inferior race. He should learn to unite dignity with courtesy, as Lord Dlfferin did. We believe the new corners mean well, but they are young and have been accustomed to 6 good deal of nonsense.

Ruin ia Glasgow.

Our special cable despatch continues the
story of the Glasgow calamity. In Scot
land, rs in England, there are two sides TO
the relation of shareholders with the banks
in which their money is invested, in which
respect shareholders in those countries are
less fortunate than In some others. In some
countries the shareholders pocket enormous
profits in the days OF prosperity-profts
that return the full value Of their shares
three or four times over in ten years--and
their loss is limited to the value of the shares

also enjoyed in Great Britain by companies
organized under the terms OF the net for
that purpose, but where not so protected

dant profits of prosperity must him.
self stand the brunt of calamity and
answer to the extent OF his means for the
dishonest use of his capital and the credit
based upon it. 1t will require upward Of
thirteen millions of dollars to make up the
deficienc cies in the accounts Of the Glasgow
Bank, and that sum OF money must be paid
by two hundred and fory-four persons
who are holders of shares to the amount Of
one thousand pounds and over. Small
holders arc ruined already by the loss of
their shares, and have no property with
which to respond, and the rich holders
must therefore pay for all. From two men
named in our special the percentage de-
manded on the shares will take more than
half u million dollars each. If on the first
call less is realized than has been counted
upon, then those whose fortunes hold out
will be taxed even more than the sum now
laid upon them.

A Crush OF Adverttsing.

For several weeks we have been compelled
to publish the Sunday issue Of the HERALD
in quintuple form. consisting Of twenty
pages of closely printed matter, in order
that the demands of the advertising public
might be fully met. Each successive Sun
day we have printed from fifty to
sixty columns of advertisements, ranging
from two lines each to nearly a
page, until to-day we present our readers
with no less than seventy-three columns
of notices. embracing every branch of trade
and mercantile necessity. Taken as ba-
rometer of the condition of business in this
city-and there can be no better one-these
twelve pages of solid type show that the
fall trade is in most prosperous con-
dition, though it has probably not yet
reached it's maximum. The HERALD to-day
is an evidence of the progress of the age.
Business men in these days are not content
to wait behind their counters for custom
ers, but they go out into the world and by
the aid of the newspaper cry out their
wares to thousands upon thousands of
people who can be reached in no other
way. That it is profitable to advertise is
shown by the steady increase of such no.
tices, and it has now become one of the
maxims of mercantile life that success in
business can only be attained by judicious
and persistent use of the columns of the
daily paper.
Though so large a share of our space to-
day is occupied by advertisements the i'm
mense size of the quintuple HERALD en-
ables us to give all the news of the world
by telegraph over the land and by
cable under the sea. This is the
invariabe policy Of the HERALD; for,
while we are willing to afford the
public an opportunity to increase their
business or supply their wants, We never
tail to make the HERALD an epitome of the
time by noting all the leading events of the
day, no matter where they may happen or
what expense is necessary to obtain the

sharp Knives and Dull Eyes.

The stabbing of Alderman Morris is the
second case of attempted assassination by
stabbing that has happened within o month.
The affair of the woman who was brutally
stabbed in ST. Francis Xavier's Church was
clearly one of mistaken identity, and a
similar theory is the only one which appears
plausible to the wounded Alderman or any
one acquainted with him. These two cases
illustrate distinctly the utter blindness of
rage that is strong enough to be murderous,
and thus indicate with new force the
severity with which all persons convicted of
dangerous assaults should be treated. A
curious fact in connection with the Morris
case is that for several years the Alderman
has been endeavoring to have the Board
force the gas companies to keep the street
lamps lighted until sunrise AS he walked
mp Sixth avenue yesterday morning the
lights had been extinguished, although it
was not yet daylight, and the darkness
which he has striven to prevent was the
principal shield of the would-be assassin.
The only present clew to theory other
than that Of mistaken identity consists of
threat dropped by one of u gang of pick
pockets arrested in Sixth avenue last week
and committed, the Alderman being on the
bench with the committing magistrate, that
they would "fx" Morris. The viniictive-
ness and cowardicc of the attack were fully
in keeping with the nature of this order Of

Nobody has ever believed what he said, and

The Prophetic Conference"

This is the title given to Conference
which is to meet in this city next Wednes-
day to discuss certain promises and
prophecies connected with the second
coming Of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1t is in
fact though not in name-a convention OF
Second Adventists. The believers in this
doctrine as a fact Of prophecy ara numer-
GUS in all the churches they differ, how
ever, in details. There is scattered
church organization in this land based
upon this doctrine, but they affect to fix
times and dates for an event Of which
Christ Himself said that no man could
know the day nor the hour OF His COM
ing; that it is an event known only to
God. There is another. but very small
class of Adventists who firmly believe that
Christ came, according to the Scriptures, A.
d. 20, when Jerusalem was destroyed by
the Roman army under Titus. They insist
that His coming is spiritual, and not visi-
BILE, and that "the sign of the Son OF Man
in heaven" was seen at that time. Another
class of believers, also spiritualizing the
Saviour's appearing, assert that He comes
personally to every believer in the hour
of death, and that this is the second
coming affirmed and prophesied of in the
Scriptures. These are called non-evangeli-
cal by the evangelicals
But besides the foregoing there are two
other divisions OF this grand army OF Ad-
ventists who divide themselves into pre-
millennialists and post millennialists. The
hat ic II ~
time-a thousand years only. Those who
shall convene in this city on Wednesday
hold the former view. They are the pes
simists, and those who hold the
other view are the optimists Of the
doctrine. The pre-millennialist believes
that Christ will be visible to His saints,
whom He will gather into the air as
Enoch, Elijah and Jesus Himself we're
caught up. The pre-millennialist bases his
belief on more than three hundred texts of
Scripture which refer to Christ's second
coming The chief trouble with the inter
pretations of this class, however, is their
confusion of two advents spoken OF in the
Bible.
During the period of one thousand years,
when Christ IS to reign on the earth, true
religion will spread until the world will in
the main be converted. This theory of the
advent is not new. Papius, Justin Martyr,
Iren@us, Tertullian, and other fathers of
the Church taught it. Luther and Bengel /;
Edward Irving, the founder Of the Catho-
lie Apostolic Church, and William
Miller, the leader of the Miller
ties, taught it, the latter, however,
in an exaggerated form. DR.. Cumming, of
London, has aided to bring the doctrine
into ridicule by fixing SO many dates for
the coming of Christ, not one of which for
the last thirty years of his prophesying has
proved correct. In another column of the
HERALD will be found interesting letters on
this Conference from eminent Christian
ministers in different parts of the country.

Judicial NOmtu n tiOus.

Of all the leaders of the coordination"
only ex-Sheriff O'Brien has shown proper
appreciation of the judiciary. Judge Bed
ford being nominated on the Tammany
ticket, and being an undoubtedly fit and
proper man for the City Judgeship. Mr..
O'Brien proclaimed in advance that,
whether he was nominated also on the
ICON bination" ticket or not, he would in
any case support him. This course of Mr..
O'Brien is manly and commendable, and we
are sorry the other leaders of the .'com-
bination" did not take the same high
ground. They ought to have placed Judge
Bedford on their ticket, and thus shown
that, while for merely political Offices they
would make contest, they would not drag
the judiciary into politics if they could
help it.
There wns no occasion or excuse this time
for their nomination of a candidate for City
Judge, for the Tammany candidate is an
unexceptionable man. Judge Bedford has
filled the Office to the general satisfaction
already he was an impartial and coura-
geous Judge, Of high character; his con-
duct in refusing to bail Tweed gained him
general and deserved public appreciation ;
and we had hoped that the coordination"
leaders would see the wisdom of indorsing
his nomination, as formerly the nominal
tions Of Judges Daily and Brady were in
dorsed under similar circumstances, SO that
there might be no political contest over the
judiciary.
We say nothing against the combination
candidate for the City Judgeship, but il was
| n mistake 10 nominate him. Judge Bed
ford has and deserves the support of all
good citizens who know him. He is in
every way fitted for the important
duties Of the place. He ran ahead
of his ticket the last time he was
before the people, and he will do SO
again, because it is very well known that
the chief opposition to him now comes from
certain old friends Of Tweed, who labor for
his defeat because when he was City Judge
before he made it hot for the Ring rascals
But such opposition is an honor to him and
| must win him many votes The combine
ton leaders would gain public credit for
sincerity if even yet they would withdraw
their candidate and put Judge Bedford on
! their ticket.

safety OF tho Florence.

Since the announcement was made that
the Arctic schooner Florence, under the
command of the now famous Captain Tyson,
had left st. John, N. b.. on her return to
the United States, the gravest fears have
been entertained for her safety The tenn
pestuous weather that has been experienced
on the North Atlantic during and since
the latter half Of September added
to the doubts that the Florence
in the reported dates of her sailing
from St. John made it difficult to deter
mine her position during the recent storms,
SO that the alarming rumors in circulation
regarding the vessel passed freely from
mouth to mouth without any contradiction.
The arrival of the Florence at Provincetown
Harbor, Mass, leaking badly, and with an
exhausted and almost starving crew, shows
how great has been her escape
from destruction, and must cause
the utmost qualification to the many
friends Of the gallant Tyson and his crew.
After encountering the terrors Of the Arctic
storms among the ice and being reduced to
the last extremity by the failure Of the pro-
visions the safety of the party is now q
certainty. Indeed our reports describe the
men as being in good health and spirits.
Our special despatch giving an outline mar
rative OF the cruise, which we print
to-day, will be read with the deepest inter-
est, as it shows the calibre and resources of q
man who has been the hero OF many peril
Gus adventures in the icy Arctic seas. Few
can forget the terrible drift on the ice of
Tyson and his party who were separated
from the Polaris on the return voyage after
Captain Halls death. The experiences of
this last voyage have not been less trying
and filed with danger. We must there
fore heartily congratulate Captain Tyson
and his companions on their return to the
United States. They have performed their
duty nobly.
