English law sometimes works grieyous in
justice. The British newspapers are now dis
cussing case in which this is demonstrated
in curious manner. Thomas Moran is a la
borer in Chester HI conld not obtain steady
work so his six children were put in the poor
house. His wife was already in the insane
asylum. Moran was ordered to pay ZEN shi-
lings week to the maintenance Of his chill
dren in the poorhonse and he agreed to do so.
But for thirteen weeks he eonld obtain no
work to do, and just after he found job, he
ruptnred a blood vessel and was unable to per-
form his tlnties. But The righteous magis-
trates were determined that he should pay
the ten shilings week or BIO punished, and
as he manifestly conld not raise the money,
they sentenced him to imprisonment for one
month at hard labor. On hearing the sentence
Moran burst out crying and said :" For Gods
sake, gentlemen, give me a chance. | was
never in prison in my life, and if you send me
there I'll lose my work. If you give me time
I'll pay it ALL" He was removed below still
begging for mercy. The general impression
will be that the magistrates who imposed this
penalty are not only cruel bnt idiotic.

WHAT MAKES THE WIRE HuM.-Most boys
believe that the humming sound made by the
telegraph wires is caused by the messages
hurrying along to their destination. Most
men believe that the sonnd is caused by the
vibration of the wire in the wind. A writer
in an Austrian journal, however, calls atten'
tion to the fact that oDe who will give close
observation to both the wire and the sounds
will find that The latter make themselves OBJ
vous likewise when there is a total absence
of wind and in quiet morning in winter,
when the wires appear to be covered with
frost to the thickness Of finger, they never
theless carry on lively vibrations and singing
while the air is totally quiet. According to
this writer, therefore, the vibrations are due,
not to the wind but to changes Of atmospher-
ic temperature, and especially through the
action of cold, as lowering of temperature
induces shortening Of the wires extending
over the whole length of tho conductor. A
considerable amount of friction is produced
ON the supporting bells, thus inducing sounds,
both in the wires and poles.

six months ending June 30 show n decrease
of 1867 in number of failures, or 30 per
cent, and decrease of SG50o3,3Io IN
amount Of liabilities, or nearly % per cent
But in some States and cities the decrease was
much greater. In Alabama it was nearly %
per cent in Georgia over 80 per cent; III
Illinois outside of Chicago, over 80 per
cent, and in Chicago 81 per cent; IN INDIANA
over 20 per cent; in Iowa over W per cent
in Kansas 81 per cent; in Maryland over oV
per cent; in Massachusetts, outside OF boston,
over go per cent, and in Boston go per cent;
in Michigan 20 per cent in Missouri, outside
of St. Louis, about so per cent; in
Nevada GG per cent, and in New-Hamp-
shire nearly the same; in New 'er'ey
about go per cent lin North Carolir- over 80
per cent in Ohio, outside of Cincinnati, over
20 per cent, aud in Cincinnati about the same
in Pennsylvania, outside OF Philadelphia, 50
per cent, and in Philadelphia nearly 90 per
cent in South Carolina over 50 per cent; III
Tennessee 20 per cent in Texas 10 per cent;
in Virginia 60 per cent; in West Virginia
IS per cent and in Wisconsin over 20 per
cent. The decrease in this State outside OF
the city has been CT per cent, but In the
city only - per cent. 1t will be seen that the
aggregate decrease would have been much
greater but for an increase in magnitude OF
failures in few States and cities. Among
these California outside of San Francisco APP
pears with an increase of 80 per cent, and
San Francisco with over 40 per cent; Del
aware, Florida and Louisiana show some ln-
crease, aud Minnesota over 12O per cent
while the increase at st. Louis in amount OF
liabilities has been ia per cent, although
the number of failures has been only 80
against 81 during the first half of last year.
The general and large decrease, however, in
the chief commercial cities and IN the most
important producing States, renders the report
peculiarly encouraging.
IL is not unreasonable to expect that the
more solid foundation for business which the
resumption of specie payments gives, Will tend
to make trade more healthy and safe, as well
as more active. In fact, the increased free
dom of investment in commercial and indus
trial enterprises Is mainly due to a belief that
business will hereafter be safer. In this be-
lief, reports of decreasing failures will tend to
strengthen intelligent men, and there Is
strong probability that the reports for the
next quarter Will be still more satisfactory.

THE FALL or WILLIAM DORSHEIMER.


The more we consider the offence of William
Dorshemer the less we marvel at the indigna-
ton of the Democratic masses against him.
No person of ordinary intelligence can read
thOughtfully the address of that statesman at
Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July without
discerning at once that the feeling against
him is well founded and that patriots, to
whom even the dissylable offers difficulties,
and the polysyllable is a redOubt To be over
come by the indrectlOns OF zlgzags and the
tediousness of siege, have good reason TO
hate him. Reading this wasteful essay, with
IFS profuson of historic alluslOn, ITS prodi-
gality of fine rhetoric, It's graceful periods and
easy flow, and its philosOphic vein, the first
Thought that suggests itself is, " What! This

"July! Shade of General Jackson the man
"tempted fate" There was no harm perhaps
in his starting off with the purpose to " con
"sider what the causes are OF our countrys

the liability Of the patriot OF that To-
cality to be frequently overcome with thirst,

treated at any length without provoking I'M

corning the time "between drinks" The
statement too that "the greatness OF this
county is due to the fact that about hun
"dred years ago popular government was es-
"tablished here and has ever since been
maintainedn strangely AS it sounded to men
who know that the greatness of the country
is due to the late session of Congress, might
have been borne with, if the orator could
only have cOntented himself with Il backward
skip of a century, and had then returned and
settled down on the period of John Kelly.
Nor was it entirely fatal to his success that
he should have expressed the belief that "our

In this generation, however, it would hardly
be possible to "revive the animOsltles" of the

the county will remain exposed to Centen-

What a wealth of scattered and uncollected
