WAY OF TREATING A BAD CoLD.-A
bad cold, like measles or mumps, or other
similar ailments, will run its course of
about ten days in spite of what may
be done for it, unless remedial means
are employed within foty-eight hours
after its inception. Many useful life
will be spared to be increasingly useful,
by cutting cold short off in the following
safe and simple manner: On the first day
of taking cold there is y very unpleasant
sensation of chillness. The moment you
observe this, 90 to your room and stay
there; keep it at such temperature us
will entirely prevent this chilly feeling,
even if it requires a hundred degrees Of
Fahrenheit. In addition, put your feet in
hot water, half leg deep, as hot as you
can bear it, adding hot water from time 10
time for a quarter of an hour, so that the
water shall be hotter when you take your
feet out than when you put them in it;
then dry them thoroughly, and then put
on warm, thick wooden stockings, even if
it be summer, for summer colds are the
most dangerous, and for twenty-four
hours eat not an atom of food, but drink
as largely as you may desire of any kind
of warm teas, and at the end of that time,
if not sooner the cold will be effectually
broken without any medicine whatever.

THE PRACTICAL PRESIDENTIAL Incl
dent is related by Mr.. Murdoch, the TRACE
dian, of Abraham Lincoln. Few who
lived through the war have yet forgotten
the poem of the "Sleeping Sentinel" which
was written by Janvier in commemoration
of an act of clemency by Lincoln in par
loning young Vermont volunteer at the
very moment when he had been led out
to be shot for sleeping Mt his post. The
first public rea ling of this poem by Mr..
Murdock took place ut the White House,
the president, the poet and large assem-
bly, being present. before reading the
verses aloud Murdochs privately pointed
out TO Mr.. Janvier Il passage where he
had described the arrival of the pres
ident with the pardon as being ac-
companied by the sounds of rolling
wheels. whereas Lincoln had ridden on
horseback to the place of execution. JAN
vier thought it II matter of very trifling
consequence. and the reading proceeded.
At its close the president and many of the
party were in tears. Lincoln. wiping the
tell-lale drops from his cheeks, then said
hastily in smolhered voice, Every
touching, Mr.. Janvier, but did not 60

"Oh, very well, Mr.. Lincoln said Sen
ator Foote of Vermont, "we all know you
would have gone on foot if ii had been
necessary" "Yes. but the fact is-and

back" insisted Mr.. Lincoln.

The regular candidates on both sides are
getting elbowed of the track. Mr.. Kelly
will not have Governor Robinson and the
Commercial Advertiser sends Mr.. Cornell to
the rear. There remain on the HERALp's
list nine other candidates on each side but
not one OF all the eighteen is soldier.
The HERALD hopes that both sides are not
going to give the Union soldiers the cold
shoulder. From now until the Conven-
tions meet il will be good time to groom
some dark horses, and we advise at least
one of the two parties to hunt up a gallant
Union soldier for a candidate. The demo-
Gratis in Ohio do not regret their 'three
legged ticket" rs the boys call it in allu-
sion to the fact that General Rice, who is
second with General Ewing, lost leg in
defence of his country. The republicans,
for their part, would be very happy if they
could speak of their candidate as General
Foster without raising q laugh.
Are there are no republican or demo-
cratic Union generals in this Slater And
if there are might it not be we'll to try one
and see how some of them would run for
Governor? II either Convention should
produce Union general as its dark horse
we fancy he might prove success.

report comes from Washington that
Secretary Evarts is willing to be the repub-
lican candidate for Governor. We observe
that the Evening Post speaks of this report
as ''rumor of the silly season." but why
should not Mr.. Evarts be the republican
candidate? The Maa, without mentioning

him in the following conundrum, which

supposed Mr.. Cornell to be the predestined

found, began to attack him and suggest
other names in the place of his. Well, il

THE WEATHER.-The disturbance which
passed over the lake region yesterday has
augmented considerably in its course eastward,
and the centre of low pressure is now off the
coast of Newfoundland. The barometric pres
sure is very much below the mean east and
north of the lower lakes. 1t is highest in the
South Atlantic States and is rapidly rising in
the Northwest. The influence Of the above
mentioned storm centre was felt over the lower
lake region, the Middle Atlantic and New
England States, where cloudy and rainy
weather prevailed. The temperature has
fallen throughout the lake districts and
the extreme Northwest, while it has
risen in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
and all southern districts. Brisk and high
winds were experienced along the coast OF New
foundland; they were fresh and moderate else
where. Heavy local rains, with electrical phe-
noincna, were numerous in the Middle Atlantic
States, and occasional light rains were expert
enced in the Gulf districts. The weather I'm

i. Gibraltar Threatened.

Sultan Muley Hassan, of Morocco, has
just succeeded in putting down trouble.
some rebellion in his kingdom. His army
is encamped near Rabat, and thirty-foui
decapitated heads OF the Berber insurgents
adorn the walls of the city. But under
cover Of dealing with the insurgents Sui
tan Muley Hassan has been very busy
in importing arms and ammur .tion,
in doing which England has been
assisting him to the best of her ability.
Moroccan soldiers have been drilled at
Gibraltar. English officers have taken ser.
vice in the Sultan's army, and number OF
fortified places, more especially Tangier,
have been strengthened by English en-.
gineers and English cannon Of large
calibre. So at least say the Spanish
papers and the Paris Aoniteur, although
the English Chancellor ridicules the
soft insinuation. But the assertions are
doubtless true, and the reasons for ac-
cepting them are not to be looked for fur
away. Spain has a standing grievance
against England. CASTELAR,, speaking very
recently, recalled to the minds of his
countrymen the fact that Spanish soil
was still in the hands of the foreigner.
There appears to the Spaniard only one
way of getting the Rock from England, and
that is by annexing Morocco. The idea is
not bad one. Morocco is the provision
chamber for Gibraltar, and if Spain were
to annex that country England's great
Mediterranean fortress would be neutral
lied and her highway to India would
be threatened. England knows this very
we'll; and Sultan Muley Hassan knows that
in England's fear of SPANS acquiring his
land lies his only hope of independent ex-
istence. SO he is content to allow the Eng
lish Ambassador at his court to be popu-
larly styled and to act as the "Vice
Emperor of Morocco" Spain again
has always considered that Morocco
sooner or later must belong to
her, either as province or colony. She
had temporary possession of the land after
the war of 1859-60, and since then has had
constant disagreements with her African
neighbor. A year ago, when Spanish
consular agent was murdered at Tehuan.
war was only avoided by humble apology
on the p6rC OF The Oultau anu tuc iueuiotioA
OF England. The Spanish papers and people
demanded war at that time, and they are
equally clamorous for it now. The result,
unless England were to assist Sultan Muley
Hassan, would prove disastrous to the Mo-
roccans. If Spain is successful i'll finding
q casus JeM with Morocco she will have
the cards pretty well in her own hands.
BY declaring war she must compel England
to active support of the Sultan, in order
that the importance OF Gibraltar shall not
be diminished. 1t England refuse to assist
Sultan Muley Spain will find the conquest
of Morocco an easy matter, and then with
Morocco in her hands she can offer to ex-
change it for the Rock. Spanish national
pride would then no longer be hurt by
foreign occupation OF her soil, and England
would not have to give up the key to the
Mediterranean and her highway to India.
At any rate, events in Morocco are worthy
of aOme attention.

Our Water Supply.

The water supply of the city is subject
of such vital Importance that the report of
the Commissioner of Public Works setting
forth the different plans proposed for its
improvement, although containing nothing
very new, will be read with interest. The
HERALD has repeatedly urged the expedi-
ency of securing a water supply amply
sufficient for a city of three or four million
inhabitants while it can be done at an out
lay which, as compared with its cost fifty
years from now, will appear trivial. II we
are to provide for the wants of those who
are to come after us as well as for our own
immediate necessities we must expect to
make expenditures that will for the mo-
ment be somewhat burdensome, although
fold in the end by increased values as the
city grows and prospers. Nothing is of
such overshadowing Importance to a great
metropolis as an ample and pure water
supply. No city can grow and prosper
without it, as the public morals, the public
health, cleanliness and protection against
conhagration, as we'll as tho comfort of
the citizens, are all dependent upon it.
II new reservoirs, new aqueducts and
the opening of new sources of supply are
needed to give New York all the water the
city can ever require, they should be con-
structed and secured regardless Of their
cost. If the Public Works authorities
could be brought to take this view of the
matter we should have a broader policy
and more comprehensive propositions on
the subject than we have yet known.
The Commissioner holds to the opinion
that the recent improvements have placed
us beyond the immediate danger of short
supply, but admits that our resources need
to be increased, and devotes some space to
renewed review of the Bronx River
scheme. In this lie includes the PROPOSE
ton to unite the waters of the Byram River
with those of the Bronx, securing an average
daily supply of twenty million gallons from
the two. Tho cost he puts at two million
seven hundred thousand dollars Other
plans are also reviewed, but the Commits
sioner is evidently favorable to as econom-
ical work,as is consistent with securing
fair addition to our present supply rather
than to heavy expenditure that would
accomplish greater and more comprehen-
sive results.

New York does not enjoy monopoly of
municipal sensations. Our sister city,
Brooklyn, comes in for her full share, and
on the whole probably beats the metropolis
i'll the novelty as well as in the intensity Of
her City Hall excitements. Mayor Howell,
who rules over the local affairs of the City
OF Churches, has been for some time con-
fined to his house by sickness During his
absence from his duties, at the Mayors re-
quest and by virtue of the charter provision,
the President of the Board of Aldermen,
Mr.. William II. Ray, republican, has
acted in his place. Mayor Howell has
made war on official corruption, and
despite hostile Board of Aldermen has
managed, by perseverance and hard work,
to get rid OF number of undesirable public
officials. Alderman Ray views these mat
ters in different light from that in which
they are regarded by the Mayor. and when
he found himself in temporary possession
Of the executive power the idea occurred to
him that he might as well use it like an
executive and provide for his own friends
while he had the chance. So he called q
special meeting of the Common Council and
got ready list OF appointments OF Commits
sioners of the several departm ents, with
the understanding that his nominations
were to be confirmed by the Board.
Mayor Howell, it appears, got wind of the
conspiracy and cut short the thread Of its
existence by formally notifying Alderman
Ray that he had sufficiently recovered to
resume his official duties. This, of course,
wiped out the acting Mayor. But Alder
man Ray made up his mind that he would
not be wiped out. The position of
acting Mayor was SO congenial to
his taste that he refused to yield
it. What did he care for the Mayors
recovery, SO long as he was not we'll enough
to attend regularly at his Office? In Alder
man Rays opinion Mayor Howell was still
sick Mayor and Alderman Ray still an
acting executive. He refused to give up
his authority, persisted in making his
nominations to the Board of Aldermen,
and was only defeated in his nice little
plot to seize upon the city government
through the backing down of some OF his
friends in the Board, who began to fear the
after consequences of their acts.
Of course Alderman Ray had no legal
right to do single official act after the
Mayor resumed the duties of his position,
and the usurpation of power he attempted
ought to lead to his impeachment and re-
moval from office. His unauthorized at
tempt to make appointments to Office was
failure, and the scene to which it led in the
Brooklyn Aldermanic Board was disgrace
full to the city. The affair shows how un-
fortunate it would be tor the cause of good
government in Brooklyn if Mayor Howell
should be permanently disabled from per-
forming the duties OF his Office.

indeed? Every fall about election time,
and every winter in Congress, we hear
great deal said in favor of the brave and
patriotic soldiers who offered their lives IN
defence of the Union but about Conven-
ton time the politicians conveniently for
parties should nominate Union brigadiers?
1t would leave some aspiring civilians out,
to be sure, but the country would be safe.
