The New York Sun publishes an in
terview with Florence, the actor, lately
returned from Europe. Florence and
Mackay did Italy together. The actor
says Mackay is a plain sort of an indi-
vidual and puts on no airs when travel
ing. They were accorded an interview
with the Pope and also visited the King
and Queen of Italy.

Hartford Courant.l
A Call for Light.

Every month our city authorities make
themselves the subject of sport andof wrath,
too, by their unsuccessful efforts at weather
foretelling. Few Inhabitants of other large
cities will believe that in enterprising Hart
ford the streets are not lighted on nights when
authorities think the moon will be out. This,
however, is the fact, as we who live here can
all attest. Within week past we have had
one rainy might of thick darkness with no
moon and no gas, and another bright clear
night with both gas and moon. We are used to
it, and we have to be, for it is said in explana-
tion that there is no other way to do than to
guess at the weather.
There is just where the mistake comes in
There is another way. 1t is to light the gas
any way and let the clouds and the, moon set
tie their disputes as they choose. There is 40
call TO shut the gas off any night on account OF
the moonlight, And ii there is no call for
that, much less is there any call for the still
more remarkable Hartford practice of shutting
off the gas from the street lights an hour or
two after midnight as is regularly done here,
even on nights when it is known beforehand
that there will be no moon. Travellers who
arrive ON the late trains find a city shut in ut
ter darkness. aH.
Ii in this. sort Of thing we were initiating
other cities and had no knowledge that it was
possible to burn gas till daylight and to have
| gas burning when the moon was due, il might
| Be excused. But such is not the case. In
other cities, whose enterprise we by no means
| call equal to our own, the picayune gas-iight
economy OF Hartford is laughed at, not adopted.
| There are places where the street-lights shine
| out as soon as the twilight falls and shine on
| till the morning twilight comes around.
This is common sense. Convenience and
safety 10th demand sueh policy. WO have
had several robberies here already after The
lights had been extinguished. The petty say
ing is almost nothing. and we are really only
enduring nuisance because it used to be the
or stom 1t is time to adopt sensible course
| in the matter and to have the city at least
nominally lighted AL the time as other cities

A Scientific Inquiry.

The Pail Mall Gazette says of M. Delaunsy's
scientific inquiry into the intellectual position
of women:
He shows that among some lower forms OF
animal life the female is superior TO the male,
but that as we assend in the scale the superior
itv of the male IN all respects becomes more
and more pronounced. So. in the case of
the human race; in the lower types of
humanity the sexes are very nearly equal, as
as is Also the case among illiterate psasahtry
and the laboring class. As we ascend TO the
higher types of humanity and in the social
the litferance between the sexes tends more
and more to WIDEN the advantage being on the
side OF the male. So also when the subject is
looked at in point of age, up to about IL years
girls Intellectually are, If anything, superior to
boys, but after that the latter leave the former
far behind. Pnyselically, M. Delaunay tries
to show, the same result comes out. his main
conclusion is that woman is only undevelopeb
man; that the pre-eminence OF the feminine
over the masculine sex, being met with only
among certain inferior species or rnces, marks
a lower degree of evolution. But as even he
admits that this evolution is largely depen-
dent on surrounding conditions, his investiga-
ton rather strengthens than weakens the po-
sitton o. those who contend that on obstacles
should be thrown in the way of the complete
intellectual development Of "undevetoped
man."

The Use of Alcohol in the Treat.
meut of the Late President.

I see in the New York Tribune an article
which deals entirely with the surgical treat
ment which the President received at the
hands of his doctors, while not word Is said
in relation to the alcoholic medication that was
practiced upon him. The surgical case may
well be left with those men who had had great
experience in treating gunshot wounds and
ewes, aud NAV be supposed to know better than
strangers whether a sharp search for the ball
with probe and soalpel would be wise.
But as to the steady alcoholic treatment of the
President, there are great many medical men
with as much experience and skill as any OF
those who had the precious life Of our honored
and beloved Chief Magistrate In their hands

A MEMBER of the New York Park Board
has made the discovery that it takes five
men nine days to painr eleven park benches,
while, according to his calculations, one
man. working eight hours, ought to paint
fourteen benches day. The official is re
minded that ordinary arithmetic does not
apply to municipal labor.

In Georgia there were before the war 62,-
600 landed proprietors. Now there are more
than twice that number. In several other
States, notably those best adapted to agri-
culture, nearly the same ratio of increase is
observed. Plantations of thousands of acres
are being divided and sold to become farms
of moderate size, and the tiller of the soil is
fast becoming the owner of the land.

THE Boston Advertiser says: "The fact
that the assassin thought he wanted an
Office, and that the President could not give
it to him, is no argument against the moral
