Some of Arthur'> PcrpicNitic>.

The London Times Of October | lth
takes the following view Of the diff
cult position in which President
Arthur finds himself:
He has rightly understood the
great wave Of popular sentiment
which rose around tie inur;lcrc,!
President, and which would Over
wheim any successor who sh0u.:
venture to oppose lis policy too sud
denly or too rasilY. lie has isS'Ic.i
an excellent in ugural address. and
he has shown himself in matters OF
small appointments ready to carry
out the late Presidents wishes. Yet
it cannot be denied that there are
elements of al xiety in the situation.
The latest news shows that Mr.
Ccnkiing, who is a; Washington, Is
frequently with Mr.. Arthur, and
rumor is busy with .,icculations as
to the part which the Ex-senator, to
whom place is power and power i'll
dispeaslble, will const Mt to take.
What General Gran. may do is not
known, but he would not be an ele-
ment of strength to the new Cabi-
net. 1t is to be feared that Cabinet
changes are imminent, for the an
nouncements concerning Mr.. Blaine,
: Mr.. MacVeagh and Mr.. Window
leave little room for doubt that they
at least mean to resign. The SYM
pathy of Europe, as well as that of
America, has been with Mr.. Blaine
in the sore trials through which he
has gone, and it will follow him into
his retirement, if that is finally de-
termined on. Fifteen months $50
Mr.. Blaine was one of the most for
midable candidates for the Presi-
dency; and the struggle between
himself and General Grant in the
Chicago Convention is not yet for
gotten. Wien his supporters trans
ferred their votes to General Gar
field, and secured his nomination as
the Republican candidate, no one
was more loyal to the man who had
thus unintentionally supplanted him
than Mr.. Blaine. All through Mr..
Garfield's tenure of office lie was his
righ,hand man-the most energetic
of Secretaries OF State, and the
warmest of friends. 1t will be
lamentable necessity that removes
him from the Presidents advisers.
The new Presidents course will at
best be full of difficulty. Guiteau,
who in his criminal folly pretended
to he acting as the friend of Mr..
Arthur's party, has of course proved
to be its worst enemy and the chief
obstacle in its way. Mr.. Arthur
will find it hard matter to win to
himself the hearts that have been
torn with the loss of Garfield; and
his best policy-that of carrying
ont the line of action which Garfield
had planned-is just the policy for
which he is least fitted by his past
political career. Yet the hopes.
not only of the Republican party,
but of public life in the United
States, are bound up with that pol
lev.

The COMING GLORY OF SCIENCE.
Edward Atkinson INDUCES in Wis
ion to this effect. If we can send
thought and light over a wire; and
if we can attach to the same post
another wire by which to transmit
electric power, so that every farmer
may keep o small thunder storm on
tap in his barn TO cut his fodder,
milk his cows, and churn his butter,
spit his kindling wood. and do ali
the heavy work and choring about
the house; in short, if we are to ac-
complish here what is now being
done in France, that is, operate an
electrical machine by small water
power on the farm, and run the
plows, harrows, harvesters and
threshers by electricity-if these
things begin to be apparent, that
are so bewildering that one even
gets considerably mixed up in at
tempting to describe them, and is
not quite sl:, *h,t ,cl .tion his
parts OF speech bear IL each other
why, then, perhaps the millennium of
tne economist is nearer at hand

CINE for the Providence Water Co.
These are very large for stationary
engines. But engines of much
larger power have long been in use
in ocean steamers. There are now
several transatlantic steamers which
develop from 1000 to 5000 horse
power, but the mail Cunard steamer
service will develop 10000 horse
power.
Sir John Pope Hennessy, Gov
ernor of HonSkong, says that during
the past four years thousands of
persQrs have been vaccinated in
China. At first he was puzzled to
accoul for the fact. He found out,
however, that the native doctors of
the Tungwa Hospital-a charitable
institution at Hongkong, supported
by Chinese contributions-were in
the habit, not only of vaccinating
their countrymen there, but of
sending men to vaccinate persons
in the adjoining districts. Although
Hongkong is very liable to vista
ton of smallpox, it never spreads
there now, and Sir John gives an
additional reason why it is confined
to special cases. He supplies the
Chinese doctors with the lymph,
which is sent out by him every mail
in his dispatch-box from Downing
street, London.

Bits of Wisdom.

Those who think that money will
do anything may be suspected of
doing anything for money.
Give even an angel bad name,
and the simplest of us can see the
evil expressicntin his face, whether
it is there or not.
There is but one thing in Ill the
universe to which n man is always
faithful, and which he never forscts,
and that is himself.
The time spent in re aiding books
that do not make us think is worse
than useless. One good book, how
ever, is food for lifetime.
The right Of commanding is no
longer an advantage transmitted by
ia " IN inheritance; it is the
fru., <6r, the price OF courage.
No Persons, be they in ever so
humble circumstances, but nave
some quality of mind that entities
them to an equality with their fellow
beings.
1t is q wise Frenchman who re-
marks that he who confdes in q
tattler and lends to o spendthrift
will find his secret everywhere and
his money nowhere.
Investigation frequently leads to
doubt where there was none before.
So much the better. If the thing is
not true, inquiry can do no possible
harm.
Wisdom and truth, the offsprinss
of the sky, are immortal; but cum
ming and deception, the meteors OF
the earth, after glittering for mo-
ment, must pass away.
To succeed in any life's endeavors,
be our talents what they may, we re-
quire perseverance, decision and ten
acity of will to reach the full mea-
sure of success.
Humility is the source of all true
greatness: pride is ever impatient,
ready to be offended. He who
thinks nothing is due to him never
thinks himself ill treated; true meek
ness is not mere temperament, for
this is only softnees or weakness.

OpIum smoking.

The Carson Tribune bewails the in
creasing vice of opium smoking
among the youth of that city, and it
might have made the application to
every city and town in the State. IL
saws: There are in Carson youths
whom nature, breeding and education
Intended for something better, who
are devotees of the pipe. Once a man
becomes a slave of opium, there is no
hope for him. The vice fascinates
and enervrtes. IL destroys every
principle of manly feeling, every
atom of pride and wrecks the physical
constitution. We have laws on our
statute books intended to prevent the
practice, but they are imperative.
We hold that the Legislature has as
much right and that ii is as much its
duty to protect the youth of the State
from contact with the vice as To pass
any other sanitary law. 1t be should
made felony for any inan-white or
yellow-to induce, persuade or teach
n novice TO smoke opium. So far as
the confirmed opium-smokers are
concerned, they are incurable; but
something should be done to save the
boys who have not yet acquired the
habit, but who will surely fall into 1t
if some safeguards are not thrown
around them.
