A R,dicuIOus Effort.

The HERALD has pointed out the
effort being made in certain quar-
ters to hold DR.. Glenn responsible
for the De Young-Kalloch affair.
A more laughable non sequitur has
never aroused the mirth of II man
with any sense of humor. This eff.
fort is not confined to journals in
the interest of the Workingmen's
ticket. The Alta and Post ring all
the changes upon this grotesque
theme; and, were one to accept the
halting logic Of these worthless, DR..
Glenn ought really to be in prison
on a charge of being an accessory
10 the murderous assault upon Kal.
loch. Such a farcical and strained
attempt to make political capital
will simply react against it paten-
tees. The Examiner of the Goth
inst. has the following just refiec.
tions upon the matter:
There is manifest In the Railroad
and Radical organs of this State a
determination to turn the De
Young-Kalloch affair to poIitical
account in the campaign, and to
use 1t as means to promote their
own partizan and peculiar inter.
ests. 1t is shameful abuse of
journalism, o contemplate mode
OF taking advantage of an entirely
personal matter, to stigmatize a
party and attack the candidates
placed by 1t in the field. DR..
Glenn is the nominee of the DEM
ocratic party for Governor. He
certainly is not in any manner con-
nected with or implicated in the
affair which occurred near the Met
ropolitan Temple last Saturday
morning. And it is very little short
OF Infamous to assail his candi-
dacy because the Chronicle favors
his election. The candidacy of
others-for Congress-, also for State
and District and Municipal officers
lis similarly circumstanced. The
shooting Of DR.. KaIloch and the
conduct of the Chronicle has moth
ing whatever to do with the candi-
dates In a partizan or political point
OF view. The Chronicle published
hard things upon Kalloch. Nearly
everything published OF him had
time aud again appeared IN the
newspapers throughout the coun.
try, and the general impression has
been that the state ments of his life
were mainly true. DR.. Kalloch
took occasion to retort upon the
publishers Of that paper in q man.

day had before the Surrogate of
Westchester county for the purpose
of taking additional testimony as
to the Identity of Patrick Donahue,
Ann Donohue and Maria Carroll,
brother and sisters of Philip Douo
hue, who died in San Francisco,
leaving them heirs to property val
ued at $2S, 900. A man named Pat
rick Mccarthy, who has known
the brother and sisters ever since
they first went to Westchestei
county, testified positively to their
identity. The case then closed. The
Surrogate said be would send the
testimony to the Probate Court Of

Ta!oo'ng Among English Ladies.
PHILADELPHIA Record. !

ihSNCAN'i
The custom is saie. to have lately
grown up among young ladies of
good social position in England of
having various devices tatooed on
one or other of their legs. This pe-
culiar freak of the aristocracy of
Great Britain has been made
public by an advertiseme Mt
announcing the mysterious
disappearance of q we'll con-
nscted young lady. But in this
very advertisement is displayed a
comical want of knowledge Of the
customs of this country. The
friends of the missing girl evidently
believe she has fed TO America, ana
they tell us she can be identified y
a cross in tattoo on her right leg.
This is doubtless an infallibIe sign,
but who Ia to make the investiga-
tion to reveal the fair runaway?
If aboriginal styles of dress pre-
vailed here. as our British cousins
evidently think they do, ali would
be easy enough, but when the
very clocking on damsePs hose is
a matter of conjecture to the most
assiduous lockers on, how could
even Paul Pry among fashion
writers get at the cuticular orna-
mentation beneath the silk? The
task is hopeless. The missing
alden might wander among Us

LONDON, August 29th.-The FL

expected by the steamer due ut
Southampton ON the lst of Septem-
be. The bulk of the amount, to-
gether with 100000 recently re-
ceived, will probably go to meet
the American demand. A great
deal more bullion will undoubtedly
go to America. 1t is believed that
within comparatively brief space
e2,000,0O0 will be sent there. Not
wlthstanding recent expressions of
opinion to the contrary, we affirm
that shipments of bonds and iron,
or any commodity, will be quite
inadequate to settle for time the
enormous balance which must be
accumulating on account of Ameri-
can food. The possible ultimate
effect of this draft of bullion will
be Il rise from l@1f per cent, in
the rate of discount now quoted
among brokers, to four or five per
cent.

Forests and Climate.

In an interesting pamphlet by S. V.
Dorrien on The Protection of For
ests," the author points out these bene.
fetal effects OF forests upon climate: l.
Forests increase the amount of moisture
in a region by promoting the formation
of clouds and causing more frequent pre-
cipitations, ut the same time retarding
evaporation. 9. They reduce the ex-
treme heat Of summer and the extreme
cold Of winter. 8. They prevent. in
steep mountain sites, the fertile soil from
sliding Gown, and protect against ava
lanches and ~iandslips. 4. They are,
especially on the coast Of the sea OF in
mountainous regions. an indispensable
barrier against drying winds and sand
drifts. Strangers it may seem, adds
Mr.. Dorrien, that a protection against
a drying wind should be needed on the
coast, it is, nevertheless, in the main,
correct. During the eason when vege-
tation is in active progress. and drying
winds arc apt to do the greatest harm,
the sea has generally a lower tempera-
turcthan the land; hence the sea breezes
are cool in COMPARISON with the atmos
phere over the land. The warmer the
air grows, the greater will be its capac-
ity of receiving vapor without being
saturated and followed by the formation
of clouds OF the precipitation Of mois-
ture. In other words, the relative mois-
ture of the air decreases as its tempera-
ture grows higher. Consequently the
air Carried in by the sea breezes becom-
ing warmer by being brought into con.
tact with the land, absorbs a portion OF
it's moisture, and thus has a drying
effect. Experience shows that this effect
extends over many miles fromthe coast.
unless forests or mountains serve as 8
cover.

The Man OF Humble Opinions.

The other night about ten o'clock
constable who was walking up Maple
street on business was halted by q weak.
looking little man, who was a DIT agi-
tated. The officer suspected q family
row, but it didn't turn out that way.
The little man asked him to step around
the corner and take look at a certain
house and the officer stopped. 1t was
an unoccupied house, snd rs they halted
before it the citizen said:
ut is my humble opinion that there
i. no family in here and that L water
pipe has bursted. l dislike very much
to see any ones property damaged if l
can prevent it,"
Sure enough. there was two feet OF
water in the cellar and more rushing in.
1T is my humble opinion" re-
marked the little man rs the two looked
through the cellar window, THAT some
thief has cut off the pipe and the drain
is stopped up. Perhaps you don't want
to see this property damaged"
The constable didn't. In his philan.
thropy he decided to open the drain, and
the little man having procured acandle,
the officer waded in water up to his
knees, poked around for ten minutes
with Il stick, and finally opened the
drain.
Now, then. it is my humble opin-
ion that we ought to plug up the pipe"
observed the little man, and the officer
drove a plug into it at the expense of a
shower bath which wet him all over.
A s;ood iob-a good job" chuckled
the citizen, OF Sceing that you are
certain to ne down town IN he morn
ing, it is my humble opinion that you'd
better call ut the water office and leave
word to have the water shut Off"
The officer agreed. Next morning,
as he went past the office, Il red rag
around his neck and a cold in, his head
he left the message and learned that the
house belonged to the little man of hum.
BILE opinions! If the constable catches
him on the street some dark night "

A Good Story by Mark Twain.

That quaint and original genius
Samuel L.. Clemens-Mark Twain-told
Il story ut his own expense while break.
fasting with a journalistic friend, which
is too good to be lost. and which by his
consent is now published ior the first
time. There had been some talk at the
table about the Grant banquet. when Mr..
Clemens remarked with a smile and his
peculiar drawl:
Speaking of banquets reminds me Of
4 rather amusing incident that occurred
to me during my stop in smoky. dirty
grand old London. received an invi-
tation to attend q banquet there, and [
went. 1t was one of those tremendous
dinners where there are from eight hun
dred to nine hundred invited guests. [
hadn't been used u that sort of thing,
and I didn't feel quite ut home. When
we took our seats at the tables / noticed
that at each plate was 4 little plan ofthe
hall, with the position of each guest
numbered so that one could see at q
glance where q friend was seated by
learning his number. Just before we
fell t. some one-the lcrd mayor, or who
ever was bossing the occasion-arose
and began to read a list Of those present
No. l, Lord ,So-and-so; No. 2, the
Duke of Something-or"other, and so on.
When this individual read the names Of
some prominent political character OF lit
erary celebrity, it would be greeted with
more or less applause. The individual
who was reading the names did s0in 8
monotonous q name that l became
somewhat tired, and began looking about
for something to engage my attention.
I found the gentleman next to me, on
the right. a well-informed parsonage,
and l entered into conversation with
him. I had never seen him before, but
he was n good talker, and I enjoyed it
Suddenly, inst as he was giving me his
views upon the future religious aspect
of Great Britain, our ears were assailed
by a deaiening storm of applause. Such
q clapping of hands I had never heard
before. It sent the blood TO my head
with a rush, and / got terribly excited.
l Strengthened up and commenced clap
ping my hands with all my might. I
moved about excitedly in my chair. and
clapped harder and harder, who is it?"
I asked the gentleman on my right.
"Whose name did hGEead?"
samuel l.. Clemens" he answered.
J stopped applauding. [ didn't clap
any more. It kind O.! took the life out of
me. and I sat there like Il dummy and
didn't even get up aud bow. 1t was one
of the most distressing fixes l ever got
into. and it will be many 2 day before l
forget it.-Chiocgo Times.
