A METEOR FALLS IN THE RIVER
Visitation of AerOIite in
West Virginia.

Startling Visitation Of an AsrOIite in
West Virginia.
A remarkable phenomenon occurred 1T
Morgantown, w. Va, Monday evening,
about half past seven o'clock. Just ut
twilight, writes 4 correspondent, | TO-
ticcd in the heavens to the left of the
North star in the constellation of the Great
Bear, small bright spot which ap-
preached the earth with incredible velOc-
ity, travelling so fast that the eye could
scarcely follow it. AS it nearcd the earth
it grew brighter, part of it being of a
white and part of it u BLUSH light. The
size enlarged form the time my eye first
caught it and when it was but
a speck of flame until it became as big as
the moon at it's full. a small luminous
mist appeared to follow the bali OF fire.
In very few minutes the meteor passed
below the hill, which hid my view from
the river, and 4 second later 4 loud report
was heard, caused by the isncous pro-
jectile striking the Monongahela river. a
number of people heard the report, al
though but few saw the meteor. AS it was
not entirely dark, but very few stars were
visible. The night turned out remark
ably clear, and a large number of shooting
stars fell, but no other meteors. | stayed
up most of the night hoping to see more.
Mr.. Charles White, professor Of astronomy
in the university here, was away from
town, so that no scientific speculation
could be indulged inwith reference to the
meteor.

us of a miserable scheme concocted in that
state by Governor Foster, the object of
which is to convert a proposed national
Thanksgiving for the recovery Of Presi
dent Garfield into an electioneering
device for the benefit of the Ohio Re-
publicans! Inexpressibly base as such
scheme would be it really is not
more base than the attempt which, as
we see. has actually been made to
drag the wounded president Of the
United States into the faction fight at
Albany. The essence Of tho outrage on
public decency is the same in both in
stances. In tho ono case as in the other
it consists in tho brutal eagerness of low
and selfish politicians to raid for low and
selfish ends upon the generous instincts of
the people. What else can be expected of
low and selfish politicians And how are
other than low and selfish politicians to be
bred of a system in which every political
contest is reduced to an ignoble scramble
for the spoils of Office.

DRY AND HOT,
London Streets Choked with Dust Whilo the
Water Wagons Lie Idle.

London Streets ChOked with Dust Whllo the
Water Wagons Lie Idle.
In London the weather continues dry
and hot, but the heat is not SO excessive rs
it was last week. The Morning Post calls
attention to Pail Mall and Regent street,
which arc chokcd with dust. The water
carts, so active when needless, have alto
gether disappeared. The excuse is the
scarcity of water. The Post advises pump
ing water out of the Thames. Several pri-
vate citizens and representatives of bust
ness firms complained at a police court
against the water companies for shorten
ing and cutting off the supply. The mag
istrate advised summonses against the
companies, which are heavily liable, and
were taken accordingly.
Fears OF q Water Famine In France.
The intense heat at Paris continues and
there arc loud complaints of bad smells.
Fears of sickness are expressed. The
prefect of the Seine has issued public
notice that if people were not less wastel9l
of water the supply would be exhausted.
It has already been necessary to discon-
tiuue watering the streets but private
houses make the hot weather a reason for
reckless waste. There is water enough for
daily use at present, but unless families
aid in preventing waste, the administra
ton may be compelled to take restrictive
measures,

Trading on Public Feeling.

World.
That nothing may be wanting to the
story of the senatorial cat fight
at Albany, the Republican organs do not
scruplc to drag President Garfield OH his
sick-bed into the arena in which tainted
and demoralized Legislature is worrying
through its miserable squabble over ''the
spoils.'' The Times described the president
as saying latter a moments s reflection and
with earnestness, when informed6by Gen
eral Swain of the election of Warner Mil
ler, 'Thank God for that y"
Were this story true, the effect of
course would be, as its intent clearly was,
to identify the president in the public
mind with the discreditable outcome of a
tedious and disgusting battle of factions.
To do this would chill in moment the
warm and kindly sympathies with which
all good citizens, without distinction of
party, forgetting the politician in the
president, have surrounded and supported
Mr.. Garfield in the painful ordeal through
which he is now passing. OF course we do
not believe the story to be true. No right
minded man, Republican or Demo-
crat, will readily believe it to be true.
1t will be time enough when Mr.. Gar
field has been restored to health and
to the performance of his public duties for
his country once more to remember that
he allowed himself to be chosen as the pres.
ident not of the nation nor even Of a party
but of a faction of a party, and to listen
without pain or surprise to the language
from his lips of small partisan emotions
and pretty partisan feeling. But none the
less do the manufacture of such a story
about the president and its promulpa.
ton at this time illustrate the hopeless
degradation of the politics of the Re-
publican party. Iu the light it sheds
upon the spirit and the methods of
that party We are compelled to enter
tain as credible the otherwise incredible
story which correspondent in Ohio sends

Philadelphia Bulletin.
Comparing Dean Stanley and Dean
Swift, two men about as much unlike az
John Wesley and Jerry Black, the Times
observes that "bOth We're ministers of an
imbecile pulpit and an inflexibls ritual"
This sentence might possibly be found to
embody great truth if only We could as
certain what it means. It would also be
very entertaining NO doubt to learn what
the Times means when it says that STAN
ley was in marked sense . prototype of
that other great dean whose ife-work
leaves broad mark in English annals,
Swift, Dean of st. Patrick's." A protO-
type who was born about q hundred years
after the death of tho person supposed to
be typified, is worth studying simply a.
phenomenon.
