Thr "DebiIity" Discussion.

The New York Star views the mat
ter differently. 1t says Mr.. Curtis
stops short of answering the question I;
that Congress is not in session now |;
the President is unable to call an
extra session, and even il he were
able to sign the call, he may be dead
or in q fair way to recovery before
Congress could assemble. These are
the circumstances. Now, who is to
notify Arthur and summon him to
Washington to take the place of th /,
President?
We answer that the Sec, ear y of
State should take the initiative, call
the Cabinet together, and Sen / the
Vice President his SUNNI, rs. ald that
this action should be based upon an
affidavit Of the doctors in attendance
that the President is disabled and is
likely to continue SO for long period,
which affidavit should be filed in the
State Department. If there be any
error In this mode of procedure it can
be rectitied by Congress at an extra
session or at the regular session in
December should the Presidents disa-
bility continue until that period. The
question as TO the legal cessation of
the Presidents disability and his ie-
sumption of his duties could also be
settled by Congress, if, indeed, it be
seriously raised by any reasonable
being.

Artificial Ice,

The manufacture of artificial ice has
become one of the most successful en-
terprises IN the South. 1t is claimed
that the Ice thus manufactured is bet
ter than the bulk of the natural ice in
the market, and it is now furnished 30
cheaply that it controls the market
against ice shipped from the North.-
We have received the address of Mr..
Charles T. Dugazon before the share
holders OF the Louisiana Ice Manufac
turing Company, at the inauguration of
their second factory built in New Or
leans, from which we learn that that
company alone can now produce 49,
900 tons of Ice in the summer and 3d.
900 tons in the winter, which is in
excess Of the entire consumption in
the city. They can deliver blocks of
fine ice Of 100 pounds or more. Am-
monia is the agent employed in the
manufacture of artificial Ice, and Carre
was the first inventor to apply it prac
tically to the work. 1t has now been
brought to high degree of perfection
and 1t is not improbable that artificial
ice may compete with the native leo of
the North before many years.

The Crops fn England

LONDON, August 25.-It is still rain
ing or threatening rain and the harvest
outlook grown more and more desper-
ate. As have cabled you the farmers
were depending this year more upon
the extra quality OF the grain than up
on an increased abundance. and that
crop is now being knocked from under
them. Last night in London was as
raw and wet as October night, and q
constant drizzle fell until early morn
ing, when it cleared up little, only to
be followed by heavy showers during
the day. Reports from Lincolnshire
and the wheat fields of the East Riding
Of Yorkshire report that the grain
stacked in the fields is in many places
quite destroyed.
Throughout the southeastern count
les the cut grain is turning black or
sprouting and the standing wheat is
being threshed out by the heavy rain.
The root crops in some districts In
Ireland are literally under water, and
the potato crop, which promised to be
universally abundant, is likely 10 be
seriously damaged by the rot. The
farmers everywhere are disheartened.
1t is now seven years since there was
really good harvest, and this year
they had counted upon CLEARING
enough to extricate themselves from
the mortgages and back-rents which
are crushing them. On the Scotch
and Yorkshire moors grouse shooting
has been almost abandoned on account
Of the steady rains.

Last night thieves entered the dwell.
ling OF Mr.. George Paris, on State street,
efectiDg an entrance through the back
door by boring holes near the lock-. II
was their Intention 10 get money, as Mr..
p. is reputed to be quite wealthy, but
luckily he deposits his money In the
bank. His room was visited and his
pantaloons, which we're hanging over a
chair, were found down stairs the next
morning where they had been taken by
the thieves. Failing IN this, they next
went Into other rooms and raDsacked
everything that looked the least suspi.
cions Of having concealed treasures.
There were several valuable articles
stolen, among which was fine silver
cake basket, and set of silver spoons.
The latter are however marked and 1t Is
thought will not do them much good.
The only occupants in the house were
Mrs. p, his wife and one domestic,
but they were soundly asleep and did
not know anything OF tho occurrence
until next morning. 1t is no doubt a
good thing that Mr.. p. and his wife
did not wake up, for they are both ad-
vanced in years and the sudden fright
might have proven too much for them
This thing of breaking into houses
here is becoming a common occurrence
and the worst of it is heretofore no
steps have been taken to bring the
culpri,s to justice. We hope in this
case the thieves will be caught.
A few evenings ago the kitchen Of
MIR. Smith, on Governors avenue, was
broken into and robbed of all the pre-.
serves which his wife had just put up
and q large can of lard.
Work will soon be commenced on
the erection OF the water works here,
and then We will be better able tc
battle against fire than we have been il
the past.

Is rapidly progressing, and it isexpected

A Jockeys Narrow Escape.

In the steeplechase race at Saratoga,
Wednesday, Meaney, the we'll known
sreeplechase Jockey, came very near
losing his life in the steeplechase
Faustina fell In such a peculiar manner
that Meaney could not extricate him
self from the stirrups, and was dragged
nearly hundred yards. He had sufii-
cient presence of mind to catch the
mare by her hind feet, which retarded
her progress until two stable boys, who
happened to be near the scene of the
accident, stopped her. Meaney sub
sequently remarked that he thought
his time had come.

AN EsTEEMED AND AoIIAT Re,

AN ESTEEMED AND AGIIATED Re-
publican contemporary remarks -
"Without General Arthur's casting
vose the Senate is exactly divided be.
tween the two par ties, and could not
elect presiding officer nor secretary
without concession on one side or 9TH
er. Judge Davis might find here the
great opportunity of his life and reach
within one point of his consuming
ambition. The best hope of way out
of such dilemma is in the sentiment
ola common sorrow that Will subdue
partisanship and chasten ambition"
1t is singular with what zeal our
Republican contemporaries, when they
come to an uncomfortable place, sug-
gest that some Democrat should sao-
rafice himself and his party to help
them out of it. The willingness of
Artemus Ward to lay his first wife's
relations on the altar Of his country
was nothing to it. Suppose we sug.
gested that Senator Edmunds should
subdue his partizanship and chasten
his ambition by voting in the senti-
ment OF common sorrow to make
Senator Bayard presiding officer of the
Senate. Does anybody imagine that
astute statesman would adopt the sug-
gestion ? In fact he has been tried, lie
and seven other Republicans, in the
Electoral Commission OF 1877, where
they were expected, not to vote for
anybody, but simply to declare the
evident fact that Mr.. Tilder had been
elected President ofthe United States
And not one of the eight would do it.
Perhaps some Republican had better
snbdue his partisanshIp and chasten
his ambition this time Sin the senti-
ment of common sorrow."
