FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be more effective agency than ever for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the closed 1t has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But 1t two years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. 1t called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy /;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
OF The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have most of the
struggle, 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make q good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than before to hold the distinction IL has
enjoyed of the targest circulation among the best

INCREASED attention to the laws of
health has considerably reduced the

STEPHEN d. FIELD, of New York, a
nephew of Cyrus w. Field, has patented
an invention for applying electricity as
motive power on both surface and ele-
waited railroads, and his patents are said
to antedate all other claims. The ele-
waited roads will test his motor and
adopt it if it works successfully. The
important feature in this invention is
that an attachment is provided which
will render collisions impossible, each
train automatically preserving a safe
distance from that following it. The
brakes are to be operated by the same
electrical currents which propel the
motor.
DR.. PHIPsoN has proposed new
method of solving the question of a
cheap household light. He has sue
ceeded, with comparatively feeble cleo
trio current, in perceptibly increasing
the phosphorescence of certain bodies
which are made family light by the rays
of the sun. He incloses in a Geissler
tube, containing gas in more or less
rarefed condition, phosphorescent
body, the sulphuret of barium, for in
stance. By causing a constant current
of certain intensity to pass through
the tube, he obtains uniform and an
agreeable light, at an expense which he
estimates to be less than that of gas
light.
MUCH attention has been directed to
some new processes for producing a
cheap gas by the decomposition of
water, which, in the form of steam, is
brought in contact with incandescent
carbon. The reports made by the
scientific press state that the expert
ments lately made in this direction in
Sweden and Russia have been attended
with favorable results, and various
scientific authorities, some of them Gov
eminent officials, declare that the gas
has been employed for welding wrought
iron, for smelling in crucibles, both pig
iron and steel, the effect being very sat
isfactory in respect to the heating power
of the gas. For illumination, this kind
of gas is claimed to possess some pecu-
liar advantages. When used for this
purpose, the sas is conducted through
vessel filled with cotton moistened with
benzine.

Wolf Teeth in Horses,

The so-called wolf teeth are in them
selves harmless enough, yet the popular
prejudice has foundation which it
would be well for horsemen not to TO-
more. Most diseases of the eyes occur at
that period of life when the milk teeth
are being most rapidly shed and the per-
manent teeth coming up. To suppose
that horse suffers nothing when cutting
his teeth, is great mistake, as is shown
by the frequently slow and painful masti-
cation of some young animals, by the
dropping of food occasionally in half
chewed condition, and by the heat, red
ness, swelling of the palate and gums.
The red, swollen and tender state of the
roof of the mouth behind the front teeth,
familiarly known as "lampas," is but
an indication of this teething trouble;
and in not few instances itrenders the
animal feverish, weak, and, by virtue of
the general congestion of the head,
strongly predispoSed to inflammation of
the eyes. The wolf teeth are in the
mouth during the greater part of this
period of teething, and are usually shed
toward its completion; so that once it
is limited that these are the cause of the
trouble with the eyes, the owner, look
ing into the mouth, seems to find ample
confirmation of the statement The wolf
teeth are, however, the most harmless
in the mouth, having long ago reached
their full development, and are but
slightly inserted in their sockets; while
the great and dangerous irritation at
tends on the cutting of the large grind
ing teeth, and, in the male, of the tush-
es. The presence of the wolf teeth in
the mouth at this time is an accident,
and not an injury. The temporary re-
covery often following their removal
would have taken place all the same had
they been left in the mouth, and later
attack is just as likely as if they were
present. The excitement attendant on
teething is natural; what we should
guard against is its excess. Any cos
tiveness of the bowels should be cor
rected by the feeding, or, if necessary,
by one o. Glauber's salt daily. Teeth
pressing painfully beneath tense, re-
sistent, painful gums, indicate the need
of the lancet; teeth entangled on the
crowns of their successors should be re-
moved all excessive swelling, redness,
and tenderness of the gums demand
lancing; and, finally, all unnecessary
excitement or exhaustion should be
avoided. -NdtiO1al Lire Stock Journal.

Wild Birds and the British COnstitu.
ton,

THE British Parliament has passed a
law for the protection of wild animals;
but, as "boysn are the chief enemies
of Wild birds, the punishment, like chill
dren's books, is adapted to their infant
capacity. They are to be "reprimand-
ed" As general rule boys most in
clined to shy stick or chuck stone at
wild birds, are not overburdened with
reverence, and the law has defined with
comical exactness the conduct which
shall imply that the reprimand has not
been duly and dutifully received by the
criminal. If, when reprimanded, he
"shall, by laughing, whistling, dancing,
cooking snooks, turning cart-wheels, or
otherwise signify his contempt for the
justices and their reprimand, it shall be
lawful for the Court to require the at
tendance of his mother, grandmother,
aunt or other female relative intrusted
with the charge of him to make in
quiries of them as to the way in which
he has been brought up and as to where
he is expected to 90 to-" The law
further defines its definitions by enact
ing that laughing shall include ''grimac-
ing, 'mugging' or any voluntary contor-
ton that shall appear disrespectful to
the Court" dancing shall include "per-
forming the frog hornpipe'" or "any
movements of the lower limbs unaccom-
panied by change of place and which
the Judges shall deem unnecessary to
locomotion J" Cooking snooks " s'shall
mean taking sight or the pressing or
placing of the thumb or thumbs of eth
er hand or both hands over or against
the nose and the stretching forth or ex-
tending of the fingers of such hand or
hands, and shall further include any
gesture indicative of contempt" and
"turning cartwheels" shall "include
standing on the hands or head, whether
with or without the support of wall or
other perpendicular or horizontal sup
port for the feet"
With these statutes before him, the
British boy as well as the British magis-
trate can hardly fail to detect and COM
prehend those minute fractures of the
British Constitution which, if not re-
paired in time, might end in bringing
the whole thing down upon their I'M
lucky heads. Under the @gis of such a
law, not only will the wild birds find
shelter, but the estates of the realm per-
ceive new security in the painstaking
consciousness of the British law-giv-
ers.-DetT0H Free Press.

A little girl stood on the steps of the
Arcade awaiting the arrival of stage
which would convey her across Wash
ington Bridge. Her mother was near
by to see her safely off, and had given
her the amount of the fare, which for
her would be ten cents, as she was more
than twelve years of age. While wait
ing she saw some peaches opposite aud
asked for pennies to buy some, and the
instruction from the mother was, "Buy
the peaches with one-half of your
money, and when you give your fare to
the driver say you are eleven"

also quick to learn that the mother APP

Ancient American Giants.

THE Rev. Stephen Bowers notes, in
the Kansas City Revieoo of Science, the
opening of an interesting mound in
Brush Creek Township, Ohio. The
mound was opened by the Historical
Society of the township, under the i'm
mediate supervision of DR.. j. F. Ever
hart, of GAINESVILLE. 1t measured sixty
four by thirty-five feet at the summit,
gradually sloping in every direction,
and was eight feet in height. There was
found in it a sort of clay coffin includ-
inc the skeleton of woman measuring
eight feet in length. Within this cot
fin was found also the skeleton of a
child about three and half feet in
length, and an image that crumbled
when exposed to the atmosphere. In
another grave was found the skeleton Of
man and woman, the former measur-
ing nine and the latter eight feet in
length. In third grave occurred two
skeletons, male and female, measuring
respectively nine feet four inches and
eigth feet. Seven other skeletons were
found in the mound, the smallest of
which measured eight feet, while Others
reached the enormous length of ten feet.
They were buried singly or each in sep
arate graves. Resting against one Of
the collins was an engraved stone tablet
(now in Cincinnati), from the charac-
tiers on which DIR. Everhart and Mr..
Bowers are led to conclude that this
giant race were sun-worshipers.

LOGAN.

Much indignation is expressed by Re-
publicans in reference to the methods
by the dominant faction in
the late Springfield Convention. While
their action may assure the nomination
of Grant for President, it has shown
that Might and Right have but little
to do with each other in politics.
A very large proportion of the Re
publican party are Republicans because
they believe in absolute justice and
the equal rights Of all men. These
principles were not recognized in
Springfield, and the result will be tc
ALLEVIATE many Republicans from the
hearty support which ought to be Civ
en- the Chicago nominee. We may say
to such, however, that Boss Logan il
not a representative Republican. Back
of all men are principles, and the party
rests upon these. Logan ignores prin
ciples, and therefore ceases to be {
fair representative of his party.
