A small but notably jolly party
assembled at the residence of Mr..
Phil Lauth last night, to celebrate
the birthday of their host. 1t so
happened that three OF the guests,
including the writer, were born on
the same fateful fourth OF March.
The occasion was enlivened by
some delicious music by Mr.. Mendel
Meyer on the violin and Mr.. Are
valo ON the guitar. Since his last
celebration the Gods have been
good to Phil, endowing him with a
daughter, who has now attained
her fourth month. The young lady
was present and we can bear testi-
mony to the fact that che is as
handsome as a June rosebud.
We enjoyed the pleasure of a COR
dial shake of the hand yesterday
from Col. ]. J. Ayers, of the Er-
press, who has returned from his
prolonged labors as delegate to
the Constitutional Convention at
Sacramento. This body, after q
long travail, has at last happily
ended its labor. We have no in
tention to quote Horace. We were
prepared to look upon an invalid;
but, to our extreme surprise, he ap-

reputation in the Convention, what
ever the upshot of its bantling may
be. He will resume his editorial

In another part of to-days HHnALD will
be found the substance of an important
debate in Parliament, an outline Of which
was sent by cable a couple of weeks since.
One of its features is bold impeachment
of the system of free trade which. by the
American competition with British laborers,
has put the latter at q disadvantage that
has ruined them. Throughout the debate
it will be noted the changes are rung on
the theme of American prosperity as much
as on the ruin of the British farmer and
the British mechanic alike. American fac
tories produce in superior excellence and
at lower prices the articles for which Eng
land had o world wide fame; and the
American agriculturist has made grain so
cheap that the British farmers crop will
not return him the price it costs to make
it. Every word of this debate is especially
worthy the attention Of American readers.

from the western limits of the Egyp-
tian countries to the Atlantic Ocean, and
between eight and sixteen degrees moth
latitude. 1t is generally fertile, and IN
many places very fertile and populous;
and it is the most extensive region in
the world that can now be regarded as afford
ing an opportunity Tor fresh commercial
relations of Importance, or as opening
field for the establishment of colonial rela-
tons with any European Power. Some of
the products of this region-gold dust,
ivory. feathers and skins-now reach
Algeria by caravan routes and are exchanged
there for French manufactured goods, but
the limits of the caravan traffic are no
guide to what might be developed if the
country on the Upper Niger say, with the
negroes on one hand and the Mandingoes on
the other, we're made accessible by railway.
Such traffic would open market for
French products equal to that of the whole
Oriental world, while it is possible that
French energy and acuteness would utilize
the fertility Of the newly opened district
in now unforeseen ways. 1t is grand pro-
ject, and affords the Republic great OPP
pOrtunity.

The four mile single scull race at Silver
Lake yesterday was won by Courtney in
twenty-seven minutes thirty-seven and
three-quarter seconds, which is remarkably
fast time for any one to make on rough
water. 1t seemed to be generally expected
that Courtney would win the race, although
he was in bad condition, while his Compel
itor, Riley, who is not an easy man to
beat, was in fine form; this fact shows
how fully Courtney retains tho confidence
of the sporting community, in spite of
the gratuitous disparaging hints that were
numerous after the Lachine race. 1t is
almost impossible that Hanlan can contem-
plate Courtney's record Of yesterday with
out measuring oars with HRS antagonist Of
last year, even If only for fun; Courtney
himself must want to reverse the Lachine
decision, while the thousands who have
pinned their faith on the Union Springs

than o stout struggle by Courtney for no

The Jury Farce.

At last they have obtained jury for the
trial of the man who confessed that he MUIR
dered Mrs. Hull, and jury which it is to
be presumed doubts the truth of the mans
confession or never heard of it, and is not
sure that there really was murder. 1t ex-
hausted two days of the time of court only
to get this jury, which is an abuse of JUS
tice Here is the plainest possible case of
o midnight assassination, in which the fact
of the homicide is confessed, and in
which the law makes the homi-
eide murder; yet in such q case,
which ought to be completed from
one end to the other in couple of hours,
two whole days are wasted over air drawn
distinctions as to the qualifications of
Jurors. And in the end what does all that
effort about jurors amount tor Only men
of exceptionally little information can meet
the tests applied to jurors; but if the panel
includes the names of professional jurors
they will always adapt their intelligence to
the case in order to get position in virtue
of which they can sell out. Facts like these
are more eloquent than those legal reform
ers who want to abolish the trial by jury,
and who give reasons tor it,; for they show
that If society will wait little longer it
will be forced to abolish juries in self

Ninety-nine in the shade was what the
most modest conservative thermome-
tiers said yesterday, while others, true to
their mercurial characteristics, rose even
above the demands of the occasion,
rs they recorded one hundred and
one. In the presence of such a record
the public removes its hat, partly in defer
ence, but also that its steaming brow may
be wiped. Such intense heat is annoying
and facilitating to every one, but the
sufferings of people in comfortable
circumstances are not worth mention
when the condition of the tenement
house residents is partly imagined. Many

protest But no one entirely escapes
the effects of the weather, and it is
important that every one should for few
days pay special attention to diet and
physical habit if he would avoid bad per-
manent results. Heating food should be
carefully avoided, and so should overeating ;
stimulants will simply weaken whoever par
takes of them. The bath, in whatever way
may be available, should be taken daily,
being of almost as much consequence as the
table. Finally, everything that worries,
hurries or excites should be avoided as
if it we're q smallpox patient or police
man with an irrepressible club. The heat
cannot remain as intense as at present, and
proper physical care will prepare every one
to appreciate the change when it comes.

ton. The complaints made by the COM
mercial and producing interests of the

New York, of the iDjus ice of discriminating
freight rates and high local tariffs are SO
persistent as to lead to the belief that
abuses actually exist and demand remedy
at the hands of the Legislature. A WE'LL
informed correspondent, in communica-
ton published to-day, calls attention to the
committees work, and makes suggestions
which may be probably considered by that

The Russo-aerman coolne ss.

A goodly number of explanations have
been offered respecting the GOODNESS which
is said to exist between the governments
of Kaiser Wilhelm and the Gear. Some
of these explanations were based
upon stories which, upon the face,
were too ridiculous to entertain. The
Berlin correspondent of a London daily
paper assured the world, first, that the
Gar was enraged about some military maps
having been stolen by o German officer from
Livadia, and, second, that Prince Bis
marck, in his turn, was wild about
Russia having allowed o Frenchman
to inspect one of the Baltic fortresses.
Now, however. comes q more rational
explanation. 'sThe effect upon Russia, !"
we are told, s'of Prince Bis
marcks protective tariff will be to
block all her railroad lines to the
westward. Whenever Russia is in Diff
culties with England or any Mediterranean
Power the German railways become the
only practicable outlet for her COM
MERGE, and if her produce is to be
heavily taxed ut the German frontier she
can be practically shut out of Western
markets whenever she is in trouble, and
Germany feels disposed to take advantage
of them" Thus very awkward situation
may at any time be created for
Russia by the German Chancellor,
and, consequently, it is easy to find in the
new German tariff on grain and agricultural
produce rational explanation of the
strained relations that are said to exist
between the two countries. Anyway the
explanation is better than anything we
have had SO far, and must serve until q new

Another centennial anniversary involves
another celebration which, fortunately for
the celebrators, occurs at place not likely
to be afflicted with the torrid temperature
now SO fierce in the city. Were it not for
the cool neighborhood of the Highlands
and the freshness of the air, tempered by
the proximity of the river, the celebration
of battle by the imitation of its marches
and movements might in this weather make
the patriotic festival almost rs fatal as the
original event In the round of centennial
celebrations there have not been many that
commemorated more satisfactory piece
of fighting than that which the Highlanders
will glory over to-day. Stony Point was
well fortified and was held by body
of men amply sufficient to nan the
works, and was supplied with all
tina: was necessary to an obstinate
defence To reduce it. in regular
way would have cost infinitely more
than it was worth. Yet it was desirable
that it should be taken, because the pres
ence of the enemy at the place was in some
degree inconvenient. Its capture would be
a happy stroke. Yet to set on foot regular
operations against it would be piece of
folly. Hence arose the idea of coup de
main, which was carried out by Mad
Anthony Wayne with discretion, gallantry
and success, which amply proved that his
sobriquet was never meant to imply any
prejudice to his head For skill in the

Business Prophets.

Merchants complain that, though bust
ness is improving, profits are small, and
they are obliged to work very hard to make
living. That is, perhaps, good thing
for consumers, though it may be vexatious
to dealers. But one fact seems to be estab-
lished by the general experience-we have
a rising and no longer falling market, and
if by wise legislation we could now consid-
eraby increase the foreign demand for our
manufactures even the merchants who now
grumble would be satisfied.
Meantime accurate feturns show that the
number of failures during the last six
months is much less than during the corre-
spending six months of last year, or indeed
OF any of the last four years, while the liabili-
ties are very much less. The number of
failures during the last three months was
fifteen hundred and thirty-four, with, in
round numbers, twenty-five million dollars
of liabilities and this compares extremely
well with the corresponding quarter Of last
year, when there were two thousand four
hundred and seventy failures with liabilities
amounting to nearly forty-nine million

measurably restored, and that, as we before
remarked, although there is no great or
rapid rise in the prices OF products, we are
in rising and no longer falling market
fact of the most vital Importance to the
prosperity of trade and business.
There can be no doubt that this improved
condition of business is the direct result
of the successful resumption of specie pay
ments. 1t is easy to see now that the re-
peal of the Resumption act, which many
men of good intentions thought desirable,
would have been q calamity to the
country. The execution of that law
at the time and in the manner
which it provided showed the real
strength Of the country; the success of The
Treasury has measurably restored conf
dence; the uncommonly large crops which
we have been fortunate enough, not only to
raise, but to sell at fair and advantageous
prices abroad have helped US amazingly.
We have greatly and rapidly decreased our
foreign indebtedness, and, of course. get a
greater return in money or goods for the
products we sell abroad.
The general result. though it comes about
slowly, is real revival of all branches OF
industry on basis which enables us to
produce more cheaply than ever before,
and as the crop prospects are once more
excellent and the demand abroad promises
to be heavy everything now works with
us toward new period of ''good times"
and before long general confidence in the
future will be 30 entirely restored that
capitalists will begin to unbutton their
pockets and prepare for new enterprises.
When some of the shrewdest and most
careful business men in the country ex-
press the belief that we stand at the begin
ming of new and unprecedented period
of prosperity all the evidence shows that
they are not over-sanguine.
