LeKlslatiOn Needed.

We have another instance offersd
showing the great need of legislation
fxiag q punishment for violation OF
the law governing the holding of the
Little Election" When the case OF
Zlbs Ferris VS.. Z. c. Knight charged
with changing the election return and
preventing Mr.. Ferris from acting a.
inspector at the general election, was
reached yesterday, Attorney Genera
Gray refused to send the case to the
Grand Jury because there was no
statuary provision in the law fixing @
punishment for any violation of that
Law. The Attorney General did rot
want to burthen the Court with a trial
in a case for which there was no pm
ishment even If conviction was the
result. We are not surprised at this
decision by the Attorney General, 10,
it comedies with our own view of the
case. The "Little Election" seems to
be free and easy concern for which !
nobody can be punished no matter how
loose they may hold it or what fraud |
they commit in holding it. The gan,
OF corrupt dishonest inspectors who
held the last "Littls Election" must
have been fully posted in regard to tn,
ineficiency of the law to reach Their
cases befors they held the election, and |
does It not look as If the me nberS o. |
the Levy Court knew all about this de
fciency in the law when they mad
ouch appointments Of inspsstorii
is true that the inspectors may bs sued
before a civil tribunal for the recovery
of $500 fine for such derelction OF duty.
bat what satisfaction is that to an out
ragged individual or to an outraged pub
lie, so long as the inspectors are mol
worth anything or have nothing from
which fines can be collecteiY There II

ment for inspectors to hold elections
and tamper with the ballots as they
did in several Of the districts Of this
city at the last "Littls Election"
The attention Of the Legislature
should I've called to the ipoficisncy Of
the "Little Election" law, that it may
bs amended so far az to provide for it
being held by responsible citizens in
whom the public have some little COLI

see that our, contemporary in his notice
Of our articl5 makes no attempt ct q

tries TO break their force by an appeal
to the prejudiOes Of the people on the

ANNA DICKINSON tells the Boston
Herald that she will soon return to the
platform with lecture on Danton, and
may also read from an original tragedy
called "Aurelian." OF her new play,
IAN American Girl" she says: Il
have not seen it performed yet, and
have avoided reading the criticisms.
Miss Davenport wanted tragedy at
first, and then lugubrious emotional
piece L tried to convince her that she
wanted nothing of the kind, but it was
not until July had arrived, and / had
already written large part of Rus
sian play to fill the bill, that succeed
ed in getting her consent to do a COM
edy. Then | began the American
Girl. " Miss Dickinson is said to get
$50 for each performance of the play,
besides $1,000 cash down, and at the
end of the season it reverts to her.
There is clause in the contract for
bidding the alteration or omission of
any of the language without the writer's
permission.

The Skin.

THE skin is wonderful beyond concep-
ton in the multiplicity of its parts, and
in its diverse offices and relations. Mil
lions of nerves connect it with the brain.
Thousands of arteries bring to it nour-
ishment, and almost as many veins bear
away the waste. Millions of ducts empty
out the perspiration upon it. Innumer-
able glands anoint it with lubricating
oil, and countless little scales are con-
stantly thrown from it's surface. So
intimate and powerful is its connection
with the nervous centers, that one kind
of emotions instantly blanches it and
another kind mantles it with burning
blush-the first contracting its vessels,
the other dilating them. The skin has
its peculiar diseases, but MANY of its
ailments come from its readiness to help
other organs which are diseased or tor
pid, for it exceeds all others in this "vi-
carious power. The skin is double.
The outer = epidermis = protects the
nerves and vessels of the inner from rude
contact with, and from the absorption
of, poisonous or harmful substances.
TO vaccinate, we have to break through
the epidermis. So, too, when this is
sound, it is safe to handle morbid mat
ter; but to do SO with the slightest
scratch or chafe is sometimes to incur
death in its most frightful form. Warmth
applied to the surface dilates the blood
vessels of the skin, and cold contracts
them. Hence, warm bath soothes and
refreshes, by drawing the blood to the
surface; local lamentations over an in
famed spot will relieve the pain by
drawing away the blood. A counter
irritant acts on essentially the same
principle. Cold applied to the surface
for a brief time contracts the vessels and
crowds the blood back, which then re-
turns with accumulated force, producing
a healthful glow. If the vitality is low,
this reaction does not take place, and
the cold only harms. Generally only
the purest soap (castile) should be used
in washing the hands, as the alkali of
most soaps tends to destroy the cpl
dermis. No bathing of the whole body
should be protracted beyond few min
utes, else the good effect of it is lost,
even if serious harm is not done. Sea-
bathing is additionally beneficial from
the stimulating effect of its Salts
Youths Companion.

Americans in Europe.

THERE are more reasons than one
in equity, as apart from what is called
the balance of trade-why gold should
continue to flow from Europe to the
United States for some time to come. 1t
is, we believe, a fact susceptible of DEM
onstration that a greater number of
Americans have visited Europe in 1880
than during any previous season; and it
is perhaps true that these sojourners
have proportionately spent more money
than any flight of American travellers
that has ever preceded them.
1t is computed by investigators who
have made close study of the statistics
that sixty thousand Americans have
landed in England alone this year. 1t
is further estimated that each of these
visitors has spent about three thousand
dollars, which makes total of one hun
dred and eighty millions of dollars for
the whole. We do not understand that
all this vast sum is supposed to have
been disbursed in Great Britain alone :;
but to have included the aggregate out
lay of the travellers during their stay
upon the continent of Europe also. The
great majority of these persons do their
business through London bankers; and
the foregoing figures are founded upon
what is known of these agents Ameri-
can transactions.
One hundred and eighty millions of
dollars is a prodigious sum to be thus
expended, and at first sight the state
ment looks decided exaggeration. No
doubt there have been hundreds or even
thousands of Americans who have been
in Europe this year without spending
three thousand dollars, or anything like
it. But we must remember that the
price paid for pictures and other costly
articles swells the average. A single
painting like the Meissonier for which
Mr.. Vanderbilt is said to have given
forty thousand dollars counts heavily
here; and, although this is in its magni-
tude an exceptional sum, the transaction
Is but one OF great number that have
gone to swell the aggregate of individ-
ual outlay.
1t is further to be considered that
some Americans, whether they buy ex-
pensive pictures or not, habItually dis
burse, when travelling in Europe, very
large sums. We hear of one American
gentleman travelling through Switzer-
land by special train-a practice usual
ly confied to royalty; and the CORE
spondent of contemporary speaks of
an American family met by him at Ge-
neva who habitually laid out at the rate
of hundred dollars day upon hotel
bills alone. This does not smack much
of republican simplicity, but that of
course is not the matter under discus
sion.
When the expenditure of the army of
American travellers in Europe is duly
weighed it will appear, as we have said,
that the flow of European gold to our
shores is not entirely without counter
poise in American gold already distrib-
uted in the older continent during the
current season. This of course has no
direct relation to the commercial adjust
ment that occasions the expectation of
bullion; but it has a certain equitable
bearing on the situation which NAV
wisely be kept in mind.-New York Evc-
Sing Post.

ABOVE THE STORM.

LAST eve, the thuuder-clouds were black,
The crimson lightning cleft the sky.
Before the wind, the gathering rack
OF awful storm rolled by.
The drifted masses heavier grew,
And keener flashed each fiery dart,
Till one, with sudden sword-thrust, threw
The lurid clouds apart.
And thus revealed, serene and far,
UnveXed in its high heaven of peace,
A lamp of God, shining star,
Whose glory did not cease.
Though meath it surged the tempest's wrath,
And poured the rain in angry 1ood
No wild commotion reached its path,
Nor Jared its tranquil mood.
o soul perturbed, be like the star,
Dwell grandy i'll the upper spheres.
Above times strifes, God mercies are,
And loves eternal years.
Trust thou the Lord, through manifold
Experience of loss and ill;
These pass away as tales are told,
His grace abideth still.

An Engineers COncealment Of His Ig-
nOrance.

every effort is made" said a rail-
road officer in q recent conversation,
''to procure trustworthy, faithful en-
ployes, but all kinds of receptions are
gotten up to throw us off. l have one
case in mind. There is a rule on the
road for which L labor which compels
not only the conductor, but the engi-
neer, to sign the receipt of all train or
ders. When my Superintendent took
charge he insisted upon having that
rule adhered, and in that way he as
certained that there was one engineer
in the empty of the company who could
neither read nor write, and he had been
running an engine for fifteen years.
Had an accident occurred to his train,
in which accident persons were injured
and in consequence of such injuries an
investigation had been ordered, and the
fact of that engineers ignorance been
established, we could not have saved
ourselves in suit for heavy damages,
and besides that would have been fined
heavily for allowing such state of
things.
"His cunning came into play. He was
a married man, and his wife was once
school teacher, and through her eff
forts he was able to commit to memo
ry the rules as printed on the time
cards, and he had them so thoroughly
fixed in his mind that he could point
them out on the card. but he was just
as liable to do SO with the card bottom
side up as in any shape. He was a
good engineer, but we were obliged to
let him go. He went home very much
chagrined, but went to work to learn
to both read and write. He spent one
whole winter at it, but he was too far
along in years to be successful, and final
ly was obliged to give il up, and to-day
he is firing on the road"
