Plain Words to Careless Girls.

The tender and general feeling of SYM
pathy for the suicide Lavinia Roach will
rapidly abate now that the girls history is
known. She seems to have started in life
with unusually good prospects, for though
humbly born and bred she was so pleasing
in face and manner as to excite the kindly
interest of her betters Had she maintained
the self-control which is within the power
Of every woman she might to-day be happy
wife instead of q loathsome corpse. She
preferred to have ''good time"-an ex-
preston not uncommon among girls, and
not necessarily Of bad meaning, but
though the beginnings of said good time
are never with bad intent the end is almost
universally disgraceful. ITO keep company
with men apparently above their own
station--men who dress we'll, have
money and call themselves gentlemen
is by such girls held to be de-
lightful honor, but not n particle of
honor or respect does 1t ever bring them
from their male companions. What they
usually get is shame, disgrace and terri
BILE wounding of affections really pure that
ulHy huNc DSch hohc5tiy uHucT
promises foolishly believed. Some of these
women havo character enough to begin o
new life, but the streets Of any large city
after nightfall show what becomes of most
Of them. Perhaps the womanly incentive to
love some one unselfshly may be as strong
in them as it ever was, but who Will accept
their love? The story Of Lavinia Roach,
pretty and ladylike 10 the day of her
death, gives sufficient answer. II young
women would extract tho greatest possible
happiness out OF life let them never ex-
change the pleasures of their own socinl
circle, humdrum though they may be- for
the society of bright young men who can
give them suppers and. invite them to balls,
drives and excursions. Men whose inten-
tions are honorable WOO girls at their homes,
not by STEALTH and in out-oi-the-way places.

The Franklin search Party.

BY telegram from Newfoundland of news
brought to that point by whalers from
Hudson's Bay we have some account of the
doings of the Franklin Search Expedition,
under Lieutenant Schwatka. 1t appears by
this news that the expedition reached the
upper shores of Hudson's Bay little more
than year ago, and seems to have win
tered there and to have begun an active
search by means of sledge parties to King
Williams Land in April of the present year.
Exactly how these parties were organized,
what routes were followed, what methods
were pursued in the search, we are not told
in this despatch, but all these points are
evidently fully dwelt upon in the letters
which were mailed at the same time the
telegram was sent, and which will be here
in few days. Through these we shall be
able to give the public many interesting.
perhaps important. details of this expedi-
ton.

The Great Swim.

Failure in virtue Of which man goes to
pieces after he has swum ten miles has in
it the popularity that it would be grand
success for on overwhelming majority of the
men in all civilized countries Even Webb's
failure is, therefore, an important feat;
but, of course, it is failure all the same,
and gives another striking evidence that
the one thing of which great athletes know
least is the limit of their own endurance.
One thing that they will not comprehend is
that the human body is u machine capable
Of making and expending certain amount
Of force; that it has certain amount of
labor in it which it can do in q given time,
and that when it has done it it cannot do it
again. Had Webb come to the great match
at Newport fresh he would probably have
gone through with it, instead of being
seized with cranp and compelled to
leave the water with only half his jour-
ney completed. He has made greater
distance in worse water. But he had
worked himself out on previous efforts, and
could not have been in condition. Boy
tons method is, of course, one that draws
less upon the vital forces; yet it is one more
success of his wonderful endurance.

of the press of the interior. 1t is credit
able to American journalism that this is so;
and we congratulate the press that 80 large
proportion of those who conduct 1t recog-
nize the proper limitations OF newspaper
enterprise, AMI hold with US that private
affairs and household disagreements are not
proper subjects Of newspaper comment.
While the press in general thus shows
sound and good spirit it occurs to US to say
that among large part of the public there
is foolish and vulgar propensity to "rush
into print" with private affairs, which leads
to much of that tendency 20 gossip in the

BUFFALO. N Y. August %. 1870.
young lady named Mary Robertson attempted
suicide at Batavia yesterday by shooting herself.
She is described about twenty three years Of ago.
and quite adylike in appearance. After her arrest
she gave the following story: :-she was
born in North Amherst. Ohio, and ed.
ucated in New York city. In 1876 her
father, who had lost all his property sent her to
live with her grandmother in North Amherst. where
she obtained position in y grammar school. While
there she became acquainted with young man who
eGocted her ruin under promise OF marriage He.
however left her. and the affair coming to the
OF the Board OF Education, she was discharged.
She then entered upon q life Of shame.
On Wednesday she arrived in this city with COM
mercial traveller from Syracuse. and they registered
at the Tucker House man and wife. On Thurs.
day she insisted accompanying the traveller
Syracuse but at Batavia lac told her hc could
not afford the expense, whereupon she drew
vover and tried to take her lie. She placed in
Jail and her father telegraphed to.

The Calvary Difficulty.

Some progress has been made in the CAL
vary Cemetery case, although the presumed
right of Mr.. Coppers to be buried in his own
ground is not yet established. It is to be
hoped it may be either established or set
aside without leading to such an unseemly
scandal rs was made in Montreal over the
somewhat similar case of Guibord. Public
opinion here is, however, somewhat less
excitable on points of this nature Sub
.stantial justice is believed in without much
faith in nice points and fine distinctions !;
and, therefore, as it was commonly thought
that the ground in Calvary Cemetery was
bought subject to the condition that Free
masons should not be buried in it. there has
not been much sympathy with the attempt
TO avoid that supposed condition. But it is
shown by to-day's reports that the ground
was not bought on such condition, and that
the deed specifies no conditions In that
case it will, perhaps, be difficult to keep
tho man out of his grave; but it is limited
that the ground may bo cursed. But the
ecclesiastical authorities can probably be
enjoined from such proceeding if an y body
can show that the ground will be the worse
for it.

The Russians In Asia.

The orders which the cable reports as
lately given to the Russian commander of the
expedition against the Teke Turcomans may
soothe little. the excited Imagination Of
those British statesmen who have lately in
quired in the House of Commons whether,
Lord Beaconsfeld had given due attention
to the march OF this audaclous Russian.
General Lazaref is now, it appears. ordered
simply to occupy the district on the right
bank Of the Attrak River. The Attrak empties
into the Caspian at Chikishlar and drains
the hills of Khorassan. Consequently, the
position assigned to the force is one in
which 1t can be readily supplied by way Of
the Caspian, and from which it can be
moved effectively upon the rear of columns
OF the wild brigands in case they advance
for their customary raids into Northern
Persia. AS the object of the movement
toward Merv was simply the abatement Of
this national nuisance tho fact that the
troops are ordered to remain ON the Attrak
may. perhaps, be taken as an evidence of
the commanders opinion, reported to head
quarters, that ne can amply control the
Turcomans without the occupation of Merv.

What Is Inspector Hopkins Goins
To Dot

AS Mr.. Hopkins, Shore Inspector of the
Harbor of New York, knows all about the
violations of the law regulating the dis,
posal of garbage, and knows, also, who
the guilty parties are, why does he
not institute legal proceedings to punish
the offenders? These latter have neither
defence nor excuse; they are wilful,
habitual, hard ened vioiators OF the law,
who would repeat their misdeeds to-mor-
row if they could do SO without being
detected, and who will simply grow worse
if Jet alone. Mr.. Hopkins cannot excuse
himself by the plea that he is waiting to
see what the Pilot Commissioners and the
Mayor will do. His business is entirely
distinct from theirs, although the
former propose to institute proceedings.
AS for the Mayor, he pretends to know
nothing about tho affair because he has
not been informed officially; he certainly
has not the taintest accurate conception of
his own duty in the matter, and besides, it
has come to be the first duty of New York
Mayor to protect his political friends and
allies. even if every harbor in the Union
has to be- ruined by the operation.
The spasm of activity and repentance in
the Police Board will bear good deal of
suspicion. TO be sure, Commissioner
MacLean told his associates great deal
about the dumping business that tho rest
of thelpublic has known for years, but the
only real interest exhibited by the Board
was over the removal of one of the Offend
ing tug captains and the appointment of
his successor. Such Board is never
going to do its duty in this garbage matter
unless punished first and closely watched
forever after. What is Inspector Hopkins
going to do about it?
