adds: "The best evidence can KN0

is of patriotism the happy time does not seem 10 10
far away Wherefore he has brought In resolution
in favor of $4,000 worth OF fireworks 10 90 ic'
off, consumed and exploited in the Centrai IarH on
the Fourth of July, 1881, as aforesaid. Inc pre-
amble sets forth that the day cannot be properly
conmemoratcd without squibs, rockets, ana merry
set pieces 1t Is the Aldenmans opinion that these
pyrotechnics will tend to renew affection ior inc
great and pure men who contrOhea 'hu
pnided this Republic in its infancy" and
that fireworks are needed in cOnlmemora-
ton of the anniversary Of an event pregnant
with heroic memories The Aldermen laid over
Mr. Morris's resolution, nor is it probable that we
shall hear any more of it at present We got along
very well this year without fireworks; so did sick

Morriss resolution will only keep until the next
Fourth of July, there is no knowing what splendor
and noise may come of 1t.
Here is a strange fact, which gather from the
local columns of the Philadelphia papers and leave
to tho doctors to explain, only promising
that we believe it to be n fact. During the
last month"; six cases of tetanus have occurred In
that city and two in Reading, Pennsylvania, in
every instance resulting from wounds inflicted acct
dcntaly by toy pistols. Is the weather to blame for
this odd sequence of dsasterf Or is there any
popularity in the charge of these death-dealng
playthingsl The wound of an ordinary pistol
rarely produces lockaw. Unfortunately, it has
not been in any case the fond parent who
bought the toy for the small boy who has fallen a
victim, but some longsuiferlng grandmother,
neighbor or passer-by. Even this wholesale
slaughter will have no effect. Though the whole
community lay weltering and specchesS with
loclljaw the small boy would pop off his toy pistol
unlauntcd and his fond mother would smile at
her Young Noryal complacently behind her fan

The Democratic papers have been swearing
lately that Justice Swayne once expressed a
very unfavorabe opinion of General Garfield.
They may learn from q statement printed
elsewhere that Justice Swayne has now. and
has always had, the very highest opinion of
General Garfield, and hopes for his election.
These same papers have been led by their
eagerness to throw mud into blunder-for
1t Is to be hoped it was blunder-which
makes them very ridiculous indeed.

Surrogate Calvin believes that the LIST of
September, $780, will be the doom's-day
of the will-contesting industry, as it
has flourished in recent years. On that day
the provision of the new Code which
prohibits payment of counsel fees to
unsuccessful contestants out of the
contested estates, will take effect. Probably
the Surrogate is right 1t would not be
surprising if q good many of the legal
profession should become convinced just
about the first of September that there was
ON exaggerated notion abroad of the preva-
lence of insanity.

Owing TO one unfortunate accident,
and TO some unforeseen difficulties in
the work, little progress has been made
N the task of finding the bodies of the twenty
one victims of the tunnel disaster. Indeed, 1t
now seems likely that oil the work which had
been done up to last night must go for
nothing, owing to the steady leakage of the
rivers water into the working shaft, and that
It will be necessary TO sink coffer-dam in
order to reach the bodies. So that to the
horror of the sudden slaughter of these men
to be added the horror of long burial in
he mud and slime of the tunnel. 1t Is re-
lief to this distressing picture to think that
very few of the men had families.

or who they were. The passenger clerk OF the
Narragansett was OH the stand yesterday ana
gave some instructive testimony. He admitted
not knowing that the law required passenger
list, and had acted up to his ignorance Win con-
siderable fidelity. He took only the names OF
the passengers who had state-rooms, evidentiy
making no attempt to get the names OF Others
He said that there might be 400 pas
senccrs aboard, with only 800 or $50 pames
on the list. Every one who has travelled by the
principal steamboats, knows that it is too often
the official habit to take the names of passengers
very carelessly, usually only the last name
and that, by the time it reaches the paper,
assumes any form which the indifferent ear or
surly clerk suggests The law should DE
strictly obeyed. Then we should, under ordl-
nary circumstances, have at least the mciah-
choly satisfaction of knowing whom the
steamboat companies had drowned and the re-
lief of knowing whom they had spared.

now that Mr.. Halloran votes the Democratic

of innocence in the world, 81 asked him this
