certainly the greatest medical remedy ever
placed within the reach of suffering humanity.
Thousands of once hopeless sufferers, now loud

"No, Scth," said Mrs. Spicer, as she settled

ADO we remember the old fable OF the AMI.
NAL from whom kindly traveller would have
driven away the flies that were sucking his
blood, but who exclaimed Let them alone !;
these are already gorged; new swarm could
not bring new and keener THIRST"
The story is as good as 1t is old; but when
on any such ground q republic continues a
horde of ancient officers in their places, that
republic Is In very bad way The new swarm.
though hungry, would not he as bad as the old
swarm. For while, public officers, as rule,
are content with their lawful pay. 1t IS when
they have become vain in the pride of place
that they begin to steal to CRAFTY that pride
and to maintain Its pretensions.
Undoubtedly, the peculation by public Off.
GERS now going on is without a precedent in
its extent and amount There will be no com

Commissioner DavenpOrtS testimony yes
terday ought to explain, to those Republicans
who profess TO be in doubt about II, what the
Democrats mean by GENERALIZATION" and why
the Democrats deprecate Capitalization. AS
Senator Bayard said shortly before the adjourn
ment Of Congress- ii the courts of any State
cannot be trusted to maintain the purity OF
elections, and if the people Of any State cannot
be trusted to sustain the courts in that work,
republican government Is u failure in that COM
munity. There is no continuance by which
cheating at elections can be prevented in such
a State. Certainly il cannot be prevented by
the appointment Of ferocious and unscrupu-
lous partisan like Commissioner Davenport.
Nobody has ever imagined that Davenport
meant to detect or TO prevent illegal voting
when it was done for the Republican cadidate.
To do him justice, he had never made any pre-
tensions of impartiality until he astonished
Everybody by making such pretenslons yester-
day under oath. He is an avOwed Republican
worker" clothed with unusual powers for q
worker, which he exercises in order to reduce,
by every means IN his power, the Democratic
majority IN this city. The law under which
he acts was drawn IN order to enable him to
precisely what he has boon doing. No
doubt pretext for Federal supervision was
afforded by the scandalous action of some OF
Tweeds judges in 1868 in regard to naturali-
cations, and no doubt many persons voted IN
that year on insufficient papers. But the bust
ness Of Federal supervisor Is not to prevent
men from voting who had right to vote, but
to secure that right. Davenport's course has
been intended to prevent every innocent hold
er OF naturalization papers from learning his
error in time to correct 1t. The fact that he
has been able to do this and to defy the orders
of courts IN doing il furnishes abundant rea-
son why Davcnport's office should be abolish
cd and the law under which he holds 1t re-
pcaled. Senator Mcdonald turned Davenport
inside out yesterday with much neatness
When out of Davenport's own mouth he
showed that of 5000 warrants issued by Dav
export only twenty cases were brought to in
dictment, and not a single case 70 trial, he
showed all that was necessary to convict Da
venport of using his power simply to intlmi-
date Democratic voters, and not at all to pro-
tect the purity Of elections VOID

Those who study the stars, says the
Providence Journal, will have plenty OF
occupation in the coming years. The
index hand on the celestial dial-plate
points to events of nomentous import.
The fonr great planets reach their APP
proach to the sun more nearly together
than they have done for almost tive
thousand years. 1t is not unreasonable
to suppose that, with their strong pull
and pull altogether, they will create
some unusual disturbances ia the cha
.otic elements that make up the suns
fiery mass. The forces of the new spot
cycle are now in active operation, and
those who have closely watched the in
tlaence of the solar disturbance on eli
anatic conditions predict hot summer
from the heat waves that follow the
commencement OF the tremendous solar
outbreaks. The hidden chambers of
the great pyramid have given forth in
'oracular fashion momentous prophecies
for 1881 to the few disciples who have
faith in their teachings, and astrologers
cast strange horoscopes from the un-
usual planetary combinations.

The water power of Genesee Falls is
ito be utilized Ter mechanical purposes
in Rochester. The plan is the same
proposed at Niagara, whence the power
was to be conveyed to Buffalo by pipes,
in the form of condensed air; but it
was found that, owing to the distance,
the cost would reach 81, 600, 900, and so
Rochester was chosen for less expen-
.sive test The water is made to fall at
Intervals into perpendicular pipes, in
the bottom OF which it's weight con-
denses a quantity of air. The expecta-
ton is that steam Powerwill be entirely
dispensed with in That city, except on
railroads, and that electricity will be
so cheaply generated as to displace
gas.
