he bettered the condition of those who re-
NAMED at home, for no matter what dema-
gogues say, the ascertained truth is
that the Irish as people are far better off
now than thirty years ago. There is less
poverty; there are fewer small holdings of
lands There were 491, 728 single roomed
mud cabins in 1S41, and in 1871 there were
but 155, CTS If Parnell could carry out his
crazy programme the mud cabins would be
as numerous ten years hence as they were in
1S41
What We say, therefore. to the Irish of
the United States is, ''Not one cent for Par
nell and his crowd, but millions to help
emigration 10 this country" Here is room
enough and to spare for all who come.
Here are cheap and fertile lands, and every
Irish family may easily. with but common
industry and economy, own its own acres.
Here is work at good wages. Here are no
landlords and no bailiffs.
But let us have no Fenian nonsense (; no
proposition to ''free Ireland" by process
sions three thousand miles off. That does
no good; it only fills the pockets of ad-
venturers and demagogues.

Another attempt to assassinate the Car
of Russia has been made at Moscow, and
has failed; the implement used, some ex-
plosive apparatus called an 'infernal ma
chine" going off too late for the scheme Of
the conspirators, and only after the Gear
had passed by. This is commonly the way
with contrivances of this sort, and has been
from the time of Bonaparte. Disaffected
Russians have shown themselves within
recent years to be very resolute assassins /;
men prepared to throw away their lives II
at this price they could strike effectively at
the life of the man who might be assigned
as victim. If it had fallen to the lot of
any one of the more desperate agents Of
conspiracy to strike ut the Gar instead of
at his successive agents of police it is
scarcely possible they would have failed.
Yet there is certainly room for tho
view that the divinity that doth hodge
king might have unnerved them at the criti-
cal moment. Russia is to be congratulated
upon this second escape of her sovereign
from assassinations prepared by the nihilist
conspiracies. But it is to be apprehended
that the persistency of these men in bloody
attempts will provoke anew the fercest
possible spirit of repression.

Killed and Wounded.

One quarter of the whole strength of the
army Of the United States has been killed
or wounded this year. That twenty-five
per cent of the whole force under arms has
been either killed or treated for wounds
and injuries of various kinds is sufficient
evidence that our little Indian wars foot up
q respectable total of casualties. These
facts are given on the authority of the
Surgeon Generals report, which gives
some other facts of interest, and one par
ticularly to junior surgeons fond of an
adventurous life--namely, that there are in
the army fourteen medical vacancies.

BRAIN FOOD.

In the course Of lecture physiology last even-
ing at Steinway Hall, Dr. I. s. Lambert incidentally
described what he called branial supper-a novel
repast which the lecturer said he had once given
to some thirty forty gentlemen. and the like
Of which feast had been known be-
fore or since. It is tho Doctors theory that
the average New-Yorker-the professional or mer-
camille man in active business life-requires much
more brain food than he commonly receives.
Tho model supper consisted of the following
dishes -First course-Toastcd crackers and toasted
choose. In the Russian fashion. as an appetizer.
Second course-Oysters on the half shell and
cold cabbage Third course-Sardines In oil. Fourth
course-Cod fish and cream. Fifth course--Lobster
salad Sixth course-Stewed tripe ana green peas.
seventh course-Calves' brains on toast Graham
bread and oaten grits. wheaton grits with cream.
Dessort-Bakcd sweet apples and baked ap-
pies. Drnks-Cold water. Concerning all
thcse dishes the doctor made special plea
to their wholosomeness. Cheese very
wholesome; of oysters he spoke enthusi-
asticay brain food and cabbage, he said,
the most easily dgcsted of vegetables. Preserving
sardines in oil retains all tho virtue OF
the fish and makes them very desirable
food. The stewcd tripe Is also noble
dish. To illustrate the importance OF proper
brain food. the Doctor said, that you can put tho
stiffcst willcd of men into prison and feed him
hard tack aud PORK and in few months his spirit
will become broken, because the brain becomes ex-
hausted and broken down.

In Professor Proctors valuable contri-
button concerning meteors, which will be
found in another column. he fairly dis
claims responsibility for disappointing the
public expectation Of a display OF celestial
fireworks Thanksgiving night, saying that
he made no prediction on the subject. but
merely indicated how desirable it was that
the heavens should be observed at that
time. An examination Of the Professors
article in Belgrduia which raised the ex-
pectatioS fully sustains this disclaimer
In that article, alluding to Biela's comet, he
remarked that it was probable" that
''many meteoric attendants" Of it would
be seen on some nights between November
25 and December l, and ''quite possible"
that "a very fine shower" would be
visible. His letter to-day certainly sets
forth sufficient grounds for the alleged
probability and possibility. The truth is
that the public have come to put such i'm
plicit trust in the control of astronomers
over the celestial mechanism that they
easily construe hint into a promise, and
are greatly vexed if the "crank of the uni
verse" is not turned to the precise point at
the most convenient time for their own
pleasure. Thanksgiving was just such a
time, and when Professor Proctor, their fa-
vorite lecturer upon his scientific speciality,
limited that they might see celestial fire.

works in all the city parks that night at his
private expense and failed to do so. But it
is by no means sure that an exhibition was
not visible somewhere upon the earth on
November q. No cable dispatches on the
subject have been received from the
other hemisphere, and we must await the
mails for knowledge. The concluding SEN
tence of Professor Proctor's letter touching
this point, in which he expresses his con-
fident anticipation that many hundreds of
meteors belonging to the system OF Androm-
edes we're observed in Europe and in
America elsewhere than this neighborhood,
is we'll warranted by previous experience.
The dispassionate and philosophical spirit
Professor Proctor manifests in relation to
the whole matter brings to our remen-
brance by contrast the temper with which
Professor Loolnis behaved some years
ago, when, after he had predicted (not
merely hinted) that q meteoric shower
would be seen here at certain time we
took pains to assunge his disappointment
by procuring news through the cable that
though not visible here it was in England,
and thereupon he ill-humoredly denied
that it was visible anywhere, being deter
mined TO have it precisely his own way
or not ut all.

IL Russia to Have a Parliament

IL Russia to Have Parltam ents
The announ cement that the Emperor of
Russia is about to declare his intention to
create quasi-parliamentary body to assist
him in the government of the Empire-a
body which will be ''purely deliberative,
without any right of control or interfer-
ence"-was some days since made in the st.
Petersburg correspondence Of the HERALD,
and is now repeated by cable on heauthority
of a Berlin correspondent of the London
Standard. 1t is said that this body will be
partly elective and representative, being
chosen in part by the people. His Majesty
will appoint, from the ranks of the hered-
itary nobility, the part which is not
elected. Although the Emperor is an alb
solute sovereign, whose power is with
out limit or control, yet this power
is not exercised directly, and he
has already the assistance of two
deliberative bodies-the Council of the
Empire and the so-called Senate. In every
department of the Empire, moreover, there
is an assembly of government, sort of de-
partmcntal legislature, made up of mobiles
WIFI u CeEIttiu pIopcIly QuuhiuCatiOu unu
of the representatives of those below them.
All the concerns of local government
are in the hands of these bodies. But
the Council and the Senate are inn
perial The Senate is Mt once su-
preme administrative council and a
court of appeal. 1t has large executive
functions and an extensive power of APP
pointment. The Council elaborates laws
and interprets them, and especially pre-
pares the budget Both these bodies are
important elements in the Russian State,
yet both exist by the will of the auto
crat, and the members have no other
source of authority than his appoint
ment In the new body, which IL
appears is intended to bo sort of
imperial congress or parliament, the popu-
lar voice is to be heard in q certain degree
in national concerns, since ut least some
members are to be chosen ''by the suffrages
of the middle and peasant classes" Cest ie
premier pas qsi coGte. This first step toward
the establishment of representative assem-
bly, of the nation is likely to prove sventiul
in Russian history.

When the Metropolitan road was first
opened the cars at night were light enough
to read in, and the stations were not 80
dark that q short-sighted man could STUN
Bile at the steps leading to the track, or
parroter find favorable business conditions
ut the ends of the platforms. Lately, how
ever, this company, whose last monthly
statement showed surplus of receipts over
expenditures to the extent of nearly hun
dred and fifty per cent, seem to have found
some special incentive to economy, and the
consequences is general toning down of
light to an extent that is extremely annoying
to the public. This cheese-paring system
of economy is foolish on the part OF any
one who Is not compelled to resort to it;
in any one else it smacks strongly of ex-
tortion or worse faults. The Metropolitan
road already receives more upon its in
vestment than the public should be COM
PEELED to pay, and the least 1t can honorably
do is to make its service in all respects
pleasant to those from whose pockets its
income Is gathered.
