feel confidence that 1T is even fair report. Con-

abuse will probably continue. Hansard. printing

as troublesome to the printer as so many mere Sen

Englishmen have long taken comfort IN being
shocked at the license of tho American press, and
believing that nowhere except in the land OF lib
erty, could Neu- York Seper, Family Soy, or
Ro,ody Journal prosper upon invasions of the re-
spectability Of private life and ndecOrous remarks
about ladies in good society. But tits our turn now
to be shocked. AS the character of the American
press has improved, the tone of London newspapers
has been lowered. 1t is no longer Jefferson Brick at
whose name the aristocratic circles quail
the most vulgar and audacous OF all
the blackguards of journalism are now
to be found in Pcoadlly and Pail Mall. The favor
tie topics of discussion this Summer in the socaled
boulevard weeklies are the physical points" the
eyes. noses lips and compilations, OF two celebrated
beauties of the London season. whose charms are
discussed with an insolent freedom which New
York husband would be apt to resent with horse
whip. But then it is ncOnceiyable that an Ameri-
can newspaper should ever get down to the low
level of these English channels Of club gossip,
the drain pipes which collect a food of filth and
dishwater from all parts of the metropolis and dis
charge 1T over Belgravia.

British feeling being never lukewarm, Lord
Beaconsfeld may expect great public well
come to-day when he arrives in London. His
colleague, Lord Salisbury will share, Of course,
in the popular greeting, but the hero
of the hour will be the Premier who
proclaimed hostility to Russia at the outset OF
the Eastern conflict, and never desisted until
he enforced his own terms at Berlin. The
substantial gains of this policy are great. but
they must be less gratifying to the national pride
than the mastery skill with which Lord
Beacousfeld reestablished England as a great
continental Power, and Beutralized the plots
of the Triple Alliance. 1t is not improbable
that the Premier will seize the opportunity to
order a general election, and thus increase
the majority which has followed his leader
ship since 1874. The discOrd and indecisiOn
of the Liberal members indicate that
their constituents are in an unsatisfactory
frame of mind. They are unprepared to OPP
pose the Conservatives successfully, who will
not fail to make the foreign policy Of the
Government the leading issue of the cam
naiOn.

When law-breaker is spared a sentence af-
ter conviction on the one charitable condition
that he shall go and sin no more, and then
straightway goes and sins good deal more,
he ought to be made to serve as a monument
to his own ingTatltude. But when this law
breaker has been persisting in a business that
endangers the health and destroys the COM
fort of thousands of people, it becomes ques-
ton of more public importance. 1t seems
that the Inerciful treatment of some of the
stench-manufacturers has been lost on at least
one of them, who has returned to the busl-
ness of making bad air for New-YOTk City, in
spite of the clemency by which his sentence
was suspended. Moral suasiOn is evidently a
failure in this case, and we are glad to see
that the District Attorney intends to suggest
sterner methods The sternest method which
the law will allow is the double sentence of q
years imprisonment and a small fine. This
contumacious manufacturer would have no
one but himself to blame, if he should have a
years leisure thrust upon him.

The decision of Justice Smith, dismissing
the complaint against the so-called " Buck
- ingham Palace" illustrates the difficulties
which beset the work Of suppressing such re-
sorts. The character of this place is as well
known to the Judge as it is to the prODrietOrs,
and yet for lack of precise evidence, the COM
plant must be dismissed. Officers OF the So
ciety for the Prevention of Crime visit the
establishment for evidence. and can get none !;
police officers testify with suspicious warmth
in behalf of the proprietOrs, and the propre-
tors carry the day. The nuisance will con-
tlnue, the danger to the morals of the younger
generation will continue, and the law seems
pOwerIess, at least at present, to break up
this .pOison-spOt in the heart of the city.
We are learning something from this In
dian Wharf.-The degree of friendliness which
may be expected from " friendly" Indians.
Yesterdays dispatches told what to-days
dispatches confirm. that friendly In
dams in this affair, at least, act, to use
Governor Chadwick's words, as midnight
"alhes" of the hOstles, as spies and scouts,
taking an open hand in fight where good
opportunity offers. To-day's dispatches de-
scribe the extraordinary scene at General
Miles's battle at the Umatilla Reservation.
The Umatillas took sides with neither party, but
watched the fight as our young men about
town watch horse race. seeming to " relish
" the sport" This is degree of friendllness
toward the whites which ought to be rewarded
by the immediate appointment of an addl-
tiOnal missionary.

The Police Commissioners ought to adopt,
with the least possible delay, Justice Kill
breth's views of the policeman who figured in
his court yesterday. An officer who would
follow up an unlawful intrusion into domi-
Gle with loud declaration in court of justice
that. in certain contingency, he would shoot the
person giving him prOvocatiOn, is so obviously
unfit to wear his uniform that it ought to be
stripped from his back in the shortest time
the police regulations win allow.

In Turkey it requires foreign influence to
have an inquiry into official abuses instituted.
When it is set on foot. as our Constantinople

prisons the principal witness, and then brides

an unpleasant surprise TO officials Of this kind,

Superintendent Smyth seems to have been
efEecting some retreDchment in the expenses
of insurance companies, without saying much
about it, In one case, noted elsewhere, he has
insured an annual saving of more than $780,
900, for which the cOmpany's surplus will
probably be none the worse of. This isn't
half so noble, Of course, as the reform which

AGRICULTURAL.
The Carpet Beetle.

In an article in the August number of the
American Naturalist, Prof. Lintner contrib
utes some new facts concerning this pest.
He says it is known in Oregon, California,
through most of the Western States, over the
State of New York, and in various places in
New Jersey. It does not confine its ravages
to carpets, but infests and Injuries wearing ap-
parel which has been left some time hanging
In closets. One person reports that 1t has
been found eating cotton goods. The beetle
so nearly resembles the one which is frequent
ly seen on bacon, dried beef, etc., thai most
housewives who happened to find one of these
beetles on the window of bedroom or cham
Der would suppose it to resemble the s'bacon-
BEETLE" In our own experience we have
found them attacking the white portions of
carpet in preference to the colored parts. The
larva, which does the mischief, is dark brown,
hairy, oval in shape, and the hairs at the
head and tail are longer than those frnging
the SIDES. If the carpet be lifted carefully
and quickly, the little worm-about three
slxteenths OF an inch long when fully grown
will lie perfectly still for a moment, and
then move rapidly into convenient crack in
the floor, or under the Dashboard of the
room. The perfect beetle is supposed to sub
sst, like its relative, the ssmuseum pest" on
flowers or the honey therein, although they
have not been taken on flowers, except in
California. The beetle Is black, with red
line down the back, from which line are three
projections on each side, opposite which pro-
jections, and well down on the sides of the
beetle, are irregular white spots or splashes.
Its length is about one-eighth of an inch. So
far as tried, kerosene or benzine seems to be
the only convenient medcament which will
kill the larvae. The ordinary remedies against
moths seem to have no effect.-COuntry Gen.
