THE PROSPECT OF PEsTILENOE

On every side we hear direful
prophecies of pestilence during the
coming summer.
The superstitious see planetary
signs portentous of evil to the health
and happiness of the human family
The scientists talk learnedly of the
recurrence of another epoch of at
mospheric disorganization.
The doctors tell us that the accu-
mutation of filth in our large cities is
ten-fold greater than ever before.
The agents of the National Board
of Health tell us that the conditions
are ripe for fresh outbreak of yellow
fever In the south, and one of our
daily contemporaries announces this
morning that the Asiatic cholera has
really broken out in New York.
Truly it seems as if eve have fell
upon evil times"
But yet despite the knowledge that
their early taking off" is near at
hand-that,
"The world to an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one
the tax gatherer still raketh the shek-
els into the public treasury, the mer-
chant still selleth his goods for less
than he paid for them and maketh a
handsome profit thereby, the zone
and only greatest show on earth .
multipieth by the score and the Sen
ate deadlock yet continueth.
But, whether these dreadful prog
nostications of disaster are true or
otherwise, we should not remain OBJ
livious to the fact that we, here in
Trenton, are surrounded by every
thing necessary to breed disease and
death that our streets are dirtier
by far than those which have reused
a storm Of Indignation in New York /;
that we are wholly without sewerage
or scavenger service, and that our
death rate is increasing at the rate of
fifteen per cent. month.
Our talented Mayor and the new
Common Council will find no more
popular measures, no better policy,
than an earnest effort to remove these
menaces to life and health, and the
Inauguration of proper sanitary re-
forms.

OUR EXCHANGES.

The Neec South is the title of new
weekly published simultaneously at
Washington, d. c., and Alexandra,
Va. Despite its unfortunate name it
bids fair to be successful, being neatly
printed, and as far as we can Judge
from the first issue, well edited.
We are pleased to number among
our exchanges the Railway Aduocate
and Times, one of the very best of our
Jersey weekies.
The Trenton q. j. SENTINEL calls
on all colored men to support the
Republican nominee for Mayor It's
reasons are good. He has proved
himself black mans friend. This
should secure the support of every
colored man III the city We hope
he was elected Chicago Conserrat0r.
So did we; but be wasn't.
Rev. r. Henri Herbert, of the
Trenton, n. j., SENTINEL, visits this
city so regularly nowadays, that it
is the opinion of his friends he has
been smitten with the charms of one
of our fair ladies-New York Pro-
gressiUe american.
1t is pity that the good looking
editor of the american cannot permit
humble and obscure Trentonian
(who heretofore has been known to
be clergyman only by his intimate
frlends) to occasionally visit Gotham
on business, without being fearful of
losing one of the fair contributors
who furnish his spring poetry.

The GREAT Land League Conven-
ton which commenced its sessions in
Dublin day before yesterday, has
shown, by its temperate discussion OF
the questions of vital interest to its
members as representatives of the
Irish tenantry, that it will do good
service in bringing about better
condition of affairs in the green isle.

In the death of Beaconsfeld the
world loses man who, though by no
means great in the full meaning of
the term, has yet, perhaps, occupied
more of the worlds attention than
any man of his time, and although it
may be doubted if the world is any
better for his having lived, there is
little doubt that it is wiser.

CONSPICUOUS OF THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL

EMINENT, BY WALTER K.


HoUGHToN. A. NJ.
Granger, Davis Dc Co.,
Indianapolis.
Suo., 100 PIP. Price, $500.
In this book, Prof. Houghton has
succeeded in giving, in the shortest
possible space, vivid picture of the
political parties of the United States
from the origin of the government to
the present time. The civil and the
financial history are equally clear and
concise, and the statistical information
is most valuable Nothing has before
been published that will compare with
it, presenting as it does, at a glance,
the principles and sentiments that
have been active in forming and con-
trolling our national policy. 1t is a
work invaluable to all classes of citi-
zens. 1t needs but to be seen to be
appreciated. The book is for sale by
Woolverton & Granger at No. II East

The suspension of specie imports. and the
rise of the rate of exchange to "a point which
does not admit gold imports at profit
naturally result from the change of the moh"l
market here 10 a condition of great r,~c.
With money abundant, and rates Of interest
low. this market docs not draw from Europe
any balances that may become due 60 this
side ON current transactions. But there has
been considerable change in the move
mrnt of products Exports have unmi-tdL-
ably declined and for the la.t two weeks
have been smaller thln at any other time
since the first half of january. The i'm
ports. it is true fall far below those
of corresponding works last year, when the
rc,t mt 81 this port Wcr' unprecedented. bat
they are nevertheless quite large IN comparison
with thu present reduced NalIc Of outg"iug
products. The decrease in exports has been
very large IT, pork. bacon and lard shipments
of bacon and hams from the principal ports
for the frSt half Of April amounted Ia
1G,2l7 900 pounds against I2,llG,o0O for
the first half Of March. The obvious cause
il the artificial advance of prices 10y
the speculative movement at the West.
Exports of beef, cheese and butter have also
diminished, and the shipments of flour aud
wheat, though larger than those OF the cor
responding weeks last year, have naturally been
curtailcd by the expectation of a war of rates
between the railroads. Cotton exports remain
very large for the season, but have recently
decreased little. For three weeks of April
the shipments were 3l5,G25 hLrs against
33S. qOi for the first three weeks of March,
and l9-. 5j9 for the corresponding weeks of
April. 1850. Scarcely any other important
branch Of exports has been equally well main
tanned.
After navigation opens, or even earlier il
the strife between railroads should result in
heavy movement of grain ut low rates. it is
probable that the exports of grain may be de
cidcdly increased. When the trunk lines fixed
the rates for April at basis of 80 cents no
one complained. Ii was not doubted that this
rate vas low enough to secure for the roads n
large share of the spring grain movement in
advance of the opening of the canals. But the
emitting Of rates by some of the reads during
the first week of April, and the subsequent
reduction to basis of % cents, created
very different anticpations among dealers III
grain and provisions. Tho advance in
prices at the West was expected, and
spectators began to discount it, while
large quantities of freight were held back.
The shipments from Western ports dur
ing the week ending April were only
2,727, 900 bushels, against 1880, 900 for the
corresponding week in 1850, and during the
next week, when rates were reduced, a great
many DELAYED making contracts or shipments
IN expectation of rates still lower. OF course,
the restoration of rates caused great cutlery
of disappointment among dealers ard specula-
tors, and gave especial satisfaction to shippers

THE SLAUGHTER or THE FORESTS.

A letter recently published in TIE TRIBUNE
gave some striking and significant figures re-
lating to the rapid destruction of the pine
forests of the Northwest by the operations Of
the lumbermen. During tho winter logging
season just closed it appears that enough trees
have been feled in the States of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota to produce the ENORMOUS
amount of 6.279, 95O.Oo feet of lumber. The
summer logging work it is estimated will add
