Wicked for TIergymeu,

II believe it to be all wrong and even
wicked for clergymen or other public
men to be led into giving testimonials
to quack doctors or vile stuffs called

liable remedies known to all, and that
all physicians use and trust in daily, we
should freely commend it. [ therefore
cheerfully and heartily commend Hop

The Danger of a War with Mexico.
WASHINGTON Snecial to New York World

washington Special to New 0rK World.
The officers at the state department
have for some time past maintained an
air Of unusual diplomatic reserve on
the subject of the present threatening
aspect of affairs between this country
and Mexico. The idea of a war be-
tween the two nations has been ridiculed
The events of the past two weeks and
the receipt of dispatches from Minister
Foster have changed the complexion of
affairs at the department considerably.
1t is acknowledged that there is much
greater danger of a disturbance Of the
friendly relations between the two cOun-
tries now than at any time since the
recognition of Diaz, and the danger is
constantally increasing. The depart
ment has received no information that
the Mexican Minister of war has issued
orders to his troops to fire upon Ameri-
can soldiers if the Rio Grande is crossed
in pursuit of raiders, as asserted in the
| Worlds correspondence from the city
of Mexico. 1t is not believed that the
information can be true; for if so, it
would surely, lead to hostilities, as Gen.
! Ord's instructions to cross the river after
raiders have been twice repeated and
will certainly be obeyed. Every time
that the American troops have crossed
into Mexico the Mexican government
has formally protested against such
action, but it has never gone to the ex-
tremity of making formal demand for
reparation. The state department does
not anticipate collision between the
regular Mexican troops and United
States soldiers. but fears are entertained
Of the rural guards" as Diaz terms
the armed citizens of Mexico dwelling
on the border. These persons are
anxious for war, and, having no regard
for the central government, are doing
everything in their power to bring on
hostilities. If a conflict should occur
between the United States soldiers en-
gagged in carrying out the presidents
orders concerning the pursuit of raiders
and the border ruffians of Mexico. il
might result in a Mexican demonstra-
ton against the United States, which
Diaz would be forced to sanction.

A PRIEST in India has promulgated a
new scheme for the humiliation of all
things earthly. The story, as set forth
in the manifesto runs as follows: A
priest in the mosque at Medina has
lately had visit from the Prophet who
laments the degenerate condition of his
followers, and attributes the recent short
rainfalls and consequent scarcity to
neglect OF his precepts, and to the cor
ruption and apathy OF the judges who
sit over his people. The Prophet,
moreoN er, asserts that only seven Mus
sulmans have attained to eternal bliss
since his own admission to paradise.
This state of things is SO unsatifactory
that the Almighgty has decided that the
sun shall rise in the west instead of the
east on July II, 1879; and on that day
all who call themselves true believers
shall be struck with blindness, and dis
solution follow Immediately. "If there
be word of falsehood," adds the priest
Z" in what have stated, let my face be
blackened forever"

The relief organizations are hard
pushed to attend to all the sick and
answer calls for the destitute for food.
The increase in the number of cases
to-day has had the effect of inducing
many more to go to camp or to leave
the city for various parts of the coun-
try. Relief in the shape of money is
being received in liberal amounts, but
the necessities are great and keep pace
with the relief received.

NITROGLYCERINE EXPLOSION.

ton, while the debris of the cOmpany's
works are scattered around large area.

corporate limits of this city, but at quite
distance from the business portion of

shock. The loss on buildings and
stock cannot at present be closely esti-
mated. OF course, there is no living
witness to tell the cause Of the horror,
and the inquest which is now being

mates will elicit but few material facts
