NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
Blaine's entertainment the other day
had been duly advertised, it did not
draw as big n crowd as one he gave
several years ago. The audience was
made up Of invited friends and good
ly array of sisters, cousins and aunts"
under the leadership of Gail Hamilton,
who seems to have acted as the Hebe
of the occasion; but withal it was a
thin house, and the performance was
not half so good as that afforded by
the reading of the Mulligan letters
and the disclosure of the ex-Speaker's 5
connection with railroad jobbery while
occupying the Chair in the other
branch Of Congress.

THE negro exodus is rapidly subsid-
ing. The deceived emigrants who
have been able to retrace their stebs
and return to their former homes in
the South, have exercised a powerful
influence in allaying the craze which
seems to have possessed the colored
population some weeks ago. In the
meantime the planters discovered they
would have no difficulty in command
ing all the labor they need, and are
likely to be much benefited by get

THE SUDDEN AND SoRRowFUL DEATH
OF AN oLD CITHES.--Th community
was shaken by wave of sorrow yesterday
morning upon the intelligence becoming
generally known Of the sudden decease Of
one of our oldest md most widely known
citizens, Mr.. Felix Mullen. The old gen
tlcman had for long time been in a very
feeble condition, but none who bad seen
him walking our streets for the last few
days imagined that no would 20 speedily
pass away from earth. We remember
passing him on the street the day before his
death, but little did we think iis cold damp
was already on his brow
Mr.. Mullen returped to his home about
six o'clock Tuesday evening and sat down
as usual TO partake Of his supper. After
eating he became suddenly aud violently

death ended his suifcrings. DIR. George l..
Potter informs US that apoplexy was the
cause Of his sudden end.
This unexpected death will be felt with
sorrow throughout Centre county. De-

intimate and confidential friend Of the late

years Of age. He leaves wife, daughter

The River Front Nuisance.

In referring yesterday TO the theory held by
Congressman that the mortality in their ranks
this winter was due largely TO malariouS causes
from defective sewerage and drainage, we
pointes out the frightful condition OF our uh-
Cared-fOr river 'front.' the channels choked up,
and the water dfffused over the wide flats in
thin. sluggish, stagnant sheet, hardly covering.
at high tide the Sickening fecal deposits from
the sewers. and at low tide leaving these de-
TOsits to tester in the sun and infeci the air for
miles around with peStilence. IL was pointed
out. further. that tritling annual apprOpra-
ton for the river and harbOT OF the national
capital. as compared with the liberal appTopy-
ations made in the river and harbor bill yearly
for points of tTifiing importance elsewhere.
would have not only maintained line channel
Tor the uses Of government at orr wharyes. and
at the arsenal and navy yard but il would have
afforded a current OF sufficient volume and
strength on our river front 10 carry off 10 the
sea the pestitential sewage that now lodges
upon the Hats and sticks there We find that
the last annual report of Health Officer Towns

ance OF this nuisance in convincing terms, as
the following extract viii show:
First ana foremost among the sanitary ne
ceSSltleS OF the District OF Columbia is the i'm

OF that great nuisance the flats, or .kidweIrs
bottoms extending along the north shore of
The Potomac from the National Observatory to
and below the Long Bridge and also those on
the Eastern branch, or AnacOstia river
Extended comment on this SUBJECT is not
necessary. Every intelligent citizen is fully
aware OF the extent and influence OF these ma
larial marshes. these hundreds of acres of
swamp which present to the eye during the
summer months a vast undulation of rank veg

many patients to the physicians. Not only does
me vast amount OF vegetation which springs
forth fall and decay. but much of the sewage OF
our cities Is carried back from the river by the

throw oil its deadly et1iuyia. Some of our sew

The French Situation To-day.

MARSHAL MacNahOn has at last come to the
point where between the alternatives Ito SUI
render or resign" he has chosen to resign. The
situation OF affairs in reference to army changes
Is sufficient TO explain his course even leaving
out OF consideration the threatened imDeach-
ment of the de Broglie cabinet He is an old
soldier, and was called upon TO eject his COM
rades from their places TO make room for new,
perhaps incompetent men. At the same time
he was citizen and servant or the French re-
public, which has wisely determined that pub
lie safety viii not permit its ill-wisherS to be re-
tained in important military commands The
overwhelming importance OF the attitude of the
French army on political affairs Is matter of
history. The power which its numbers and
training give it, and the proximity of large de-
tachmentS TO the seat Of government furnish
all the conditions of coup detdt. No analogy
to the French situation can, Justly, be drawn
from the imaginary course OF a successful party
In this country towards high military COM
manderS OF an opposing party. The conditions
are essentially different. The action or Mac
MahOn in refusing 10 indorse the course of his
ministry after they had succeeded in reducing
TO minimum the demands OF the victorious re-
publcanS seems TO place him in the wrong. IL
Is not TO be supposed that France will be ruined
it MacMahon is replaced by Grevy, unless the
danger shall arise from these same military
gentlemen who now profess TO have no power
TO harm and ask, on this ground, to be let alone
