TALMAGE IN LoNDoN.-A dispatch
to the n. Y. Herald yesterday, said the
Rev. DIR. #. Dewitt Talmage's presence
and preaching in London on Sunday had
created great excitement ; that the streets
leading to the church were thronged with
thousands upon thousands to hear him,
and thousands were debarred entrance
to the church. The Herald then in its
peculiar exultant style says: "England
must admit that America has again
beaten her on her own soil. We have
taken her championship belt, undersold
her butchers, distanced her fast horses,
vanquished her best oarsm-n, and yes
terday one of our preachers--our own
| ralmage-drew two great congrega-
| tions. each of twenty thousand people.
| Clergvmen differ from sporting charac-
| tiers in some particulars, but the sense ol
being beaten is one of those touches OF
nature that makes the world akin; SO
| when the native occupants OF the various
English pulpits hear of the wonderful
success which our special cable dispatch
| shows the Brooklyn Boanerges to have
achieved there is sure to be great deal
| of fee ing which men of any other class
would express in language most vigor
ously Scrip,ural. We do not know
what the preacher said, but no one cal
doubt that it was something that Eng
land had never heard before, and that /
was emphasized by gestures which woul'
have been impossible within conven
tional pulpit robes. We are glad tha
London has at last found preacher afte
her own heart, for she needs religion
teaching as badly as any place in tn
world except Washington, or perhal
Albany. One thing Mr.. Talmage's Lor
don success will certainly demonstrate
and that is that the big organ AMI I'll
cornet have not, as some ill-natured pe'
pie have said, been the principal attra
, lions which have heretofore drawn grei
crowds to the Brooklyn Tabernacle"

Tur Democi attic members OF the City

an embarrassing position; but happily
thew found way out of the difficulty
bv fairly meeting it, and crushing 1t uh-
der their feet. We are not in favor Oh
electing men to Office while they are YET
members Of that body nor do we aP
uroye Of members voting for themselves.
But men and parties sometimes nnu
themselves in such positions as require
such action as they would not take uh-
der other circumstances. In the case Oh
nr. Lynch it resulted in his being COM
pelled to vote for himself OF see Ills

We believe he is honest and competent

have always found there was least cor
ruption where the two great parties were

creeps in when a party becomes 81

THE New YORK Star has got hold Of
ex-Congressman Glover's report Of his
Investigations, about which there has
been so much talk. 1t contains many
serious charges, to the effect that Treas
ury officials were not only coSnizaot
of gross frauds upon the govern
ment, but connived ut them and made
money by blackmailing those involved.
1t is charged that in the case Of Williams,
formerly Deputy Collector of Customs OF
New York, who had lately been indicted
for completely In the Lawrence frauds OH
the revenue, and who was soon after de-
tected in fraudulently collecting un-
claimed interest from the government by
forging powers Of attorney, Treasurer
Wyman restored him the forged papers
when the money was refunded and thus
saved him from persecution. 1t is also
charged that Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Conant was intimate with Will
liams, and several lesser officials Of the
department are involved. The Printing
Bureau is criticised severely in its man
agement for what is said to be the facili-
| ties offered counterfeiters in securing
note-paper and copies Of plates, and IL is
| commented upon as strange that each OF
the last three Presidential elections has
been followed by Treasury announce
ment that large amounts Of "counterfeit'
notes were afioat. According to the re-
port a brief inspection Of the Treasurer's
books revealed the fact that $lo,OOO,oW
of notes wer. at one time secretly afioat
for several months, the Treasury state
ments being false during that time te
that extent. The books were falsified
and a balance forced to conceal this Sc
cret issue, by untruly stating that $l9,
OOO, 900 had been deposited as temporar,
loan, when no such deposit took place
The Marine Hospital management come
in for its share Of attention, and Gen
eral Negley is accused of selling land a

social arrangement she was trying to
conceal for business reasons. That came

The Ouinine Steal.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter,
published at Philadelphia, the head
quarters of the quinine monopolists,
saws: "The fortune of the late T. Fl.
Powers is estimated between five and ten
million dollars. Very much of this was
made on quinine, and the movement to
repeal the duty on that drug is one which
should meet the approval of all unbiased
physicians. At present the sick are
obliged to pay more than twice as much
for this medicine IS they would were the
duty removed. The excess goes into the
pockets !of the already enormously rich
manufacturers. It is striking instance
of the gross injustice Of protective duties
In fact, it is encouraging monopoly OF

ROOf.GrRftfmg.

Root-grafting, in contradistinctien to
sstock-grafting, is simply grating upon a
portion of the root instead of the stock,
and may be performed by any of the
methods employed in grating. 1t is
usually performed by whip Or tongue>
grating, since this gives alsrger surface
of contact than simple cleft grating.
Tongue-grafting is performed as follows:
A section of root, seeding of the prev
ous year, three or four inches in length,
previously cutosquars at each end, is
selected. With thin, sharp blade, 8
diagonal cut is made across the root, sevs
ering slice, say threeAquarters of an
inch long, and extending more than half
way acrsss the stock at the square end.
A slit is then made directly up the stock
somewhat more than half as long as the
diagonal cut, thus forming a tongue.
The graft containing three buds is then
cut strictly the reverse of this, or 60 it
will nicely meet the diagonal cut, with
thin, wedge>ahaped cut to be presssd
in the slit, care being taken thst the
inner bark of the root and me graft
meet nicely. The whole is .sinen wrsnped
with cloth cut into s.ltable strips and
covered with grattslng wax, and 4ept
just warm enoldgh so that it will press
nicely to me graft and root, and adhere
to hol1 all in place.
Except Tor the sake of doing the work
yourself, it will Eardly pay you to dc
your own root-grafting, since this worE
~ now done in the most perfect mannel
at commercial nurseries, and the root
gratis packed and sold for a less prict
than you could possibly do it yourself.
