The English radicals very properly oppose the continuance of the Duke of Cambridge m the position of commander in chief of the army. This bad old custom cannot be got rld of too soon. The royal dukes have always RGoved failures as commanders. The Duke 'of Gamberland under Geo. Il, and the Duke of York. under Geo. III, failed in nearly everything they attempted. Marlborough, and Wellington are the great soldiers of England's later hiatory there is no royal name in the list. No be sure. as at present managed, the royal duke who is the pou,inal commander of the English army meyer goes out of England; but he can do good deal of harm, and stand much in the way of better ,inen, even then.

The Springfield Republican justly criticizes the conduct of the District authorities in talk ing so few precautions against murderous as- saults on Guiteau. Three attempts have al- ready been made to take his life, yet there is a prosecution in only one. and that is hardly likely to amount to anything.
 The overthrow of the Republican ring who have been 80 long in control of Philadelphia, last fall, has led to the exposure of large frauds in tax-collection. Estimates cf the amount of plunder vary all the way frsm a few hundred thousand dollars to three mill lions.

There seems little hope that the Jeannette, the exploring steamer fitted out for the arctic regions by Mir. Bennett of the Herald, in 1879, will ever be heard from again. It is now too late to hope for her arrival, this summer, and three arctic winters in succession would more than exhaust her supplies, even if the crew could ndure such an effort. The general be- lief is tha. the vessel has been crushed between ice foes aud the crew all lost.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR PIcKLEs.-Sometimes
one calculates wrong In regard to the quan-
tity Of pickles necessary to last until 'igreen
leaves come again." and SO at this time of
the year is obliged to buy pickles. which
prove to be poor and expensive and no SUBJ
stitute whatever to the appetite of the adult
whose palate has ceased to be pleased with
''boughfen" things. If cabbage caa be
procured a really good pickle can be made
with it. Here are two rules: Slice and
boil until tender three heads OF cabbs-e, as
for coldslsw; add little salt and vinegar
to the water in which they are boiled.
when done take out and spread on plates
and dram off the vinegar and water. Then
put in jar and pour warm. fresh vinegar
over. Sweeten TO taste: celery seed and
mustard are good TO season with For the
other kind of pickle select a nice head of
cabbage. After removing the outside
leaves. and inspecting it carefully 10 see
that there are no worms or bugs, shave il
very fine, and put it in jar, sprinkle salt
and pepper over it, and spice if you choose;
red pepper sliced and put in is good.
Pour over it enough cold vinegar TO cover
it. This will be ready for use in about
three days.

The white saline substance that 'icomes
out" upon .,rick walls, and which has been
q source of annoyance to a great many,
may be remedied. In reply to query on
the subject we say: The ''sa tpetring" OF
brickwork can generally be prevented by
adding oil to the mortar. at the rate of a
gallon to a cask Of lime. If cement is used
in the mortar, an additional gallon Of oil
must be allowed for each cask of cement.
Linseed oil is generally employed. but any
kind of which does not contain salt will
answer. The incrustation, once formed,
can be removed with hot water, or by the
muriaiic acid generally used for Cleaning
down brickwork, but it will reappear again
by exudation from the interior of the wall,
and usually leaves a permanent black or
brown stain

PNEUMONIA There are few diseases In
which special treatment adapted to individ-
ual cases is more important than In pneu-
monja; for the measures that would be
salutary in one case would be injurious or
even fatal in another. In the belief, there
fore, that such general directions as could
be gwen in the limited scope of this
article would he likely to do quite as much
harm as good, the few remaining remarks
shall refer to the Office of nurse rather than
to that of doctor. The patient should lie
with his shoulders somewhat elevated. In
protracted and debilitated cases his position
should be changed occasionally. in order to
preveut the settling Of the blood in any part
of tine lungs. Care should be taken to ex-
pose the chest and body as little as possible.
The air of the sick room should be OF q
uniform Temperature, and warm, yet purl-
fed by sufficient ventilation. In early
stages, what little diet the patient can take,
should be farinaceous drinks, such as gum
water, barley wa'er, thin cruel, to which
may be added decocuon of ripe fruit. or
the juice of oranges or fresh grapes, the
indigestion portion Icing carefully rejected.
As the fever abates give tea, with toasted
bread or crackers, or a little rice; then
Indian mush milk, broths, lighter meat,
eggs, oysters. In this, as in other diseases,
nature powerfully aids sound constitution.
and with good nursing, and a little medical
treatment. will very often suffice.
