A StalWart Organs Estimate of the
Deceased President.

The Sunday Chronicle, which lays claim to
being the oldest Republican journal of
Washington, and which has lately been in
fused with some new stalwsrt Western
blood, prints an editorial on F'Post Mortem
Gush," which has attracted much attention
in political circles. The article takes ex-
unmixed praise which has been penned on
the memory of the late President. 1t says
that General Garfield was nominated as a
makeshift, and was accepted as a candidate
by the people with more surprise than
cOrdiality. Whether his death was a
national loss or a national gain is
a point upon which it would be pre-
sumptious to pronounce, but the idea
that his decease has created an irreparable
hiatus In the ranks of American statesman.
ship borders on the ridiculous. There are
hundred thousand men in the United States
as well fitted as he for the office of Presi-
dent-as honest, as high minded, as sound
in judgment, as pure socially and domesti-
cslly, as we'll instructed in the principles of
Republicanism, as capable in affairs and as
loyal to the Constitution. The article con-
cludes: "To pay such honor as might be
justifable when rendered to deceased de-
liverer OF his country or a great benefactor
of his race to one of whom the most that
can be said is that he was a skillful and sue
cessful party politician, who accidentally
became President, and died before he had
time to do well or Ill in that capacity, in
stead of being a Just tIibute to the dead, is
a reflection upon the common sense of the

ADRIFT ON A DoOR.-Ye yesterday after
noon, about 8 o'clock, a little girl and
boy, about eight and eleven years re-
spectivelY, children of Octave Lefebvre,
a laborer at Laprairie, were playing on
an old door in the river opposite the vii
lage The wind was rather strong, and
gust carried the plank, with its living
freight, into the middle of the current,
which bore them rapidly out of sight of
their home. They clung together and
held their perilOus position as the stream
bore them mile after mile from their
home. The steamer Laprairie passed
them. Their screams could be heard,
and were answered, but no assistance
came to them. The steamer Prince Ar
thur also passed them near the Victoria
bridge, but the Captain said the current
was too strong to allow of his rescuing
them. He, however, informed the water
police, but the children foated on until
they came to the Longueuil ferry wharf
There they were rescued by the Captain
of barge, Mr.. Dessault, and given into
charge of carter named Zepherin st.
Hilaire. They were taken home by Mr..
Thompson, of HOchelaga, and a telegram
was sent 10 their parents to say what had
become of their missing children. They
had thus drifted over ten miles. Many
think it strange that two steamers should
have passed them without lowering a

Seven Spots ON the Sun.

OSf'C"SCf Ao"EOCfUGs OCtOOSF q.
Seven large spots variegated the disk
of the sun yesterday. They were not
widely scattered, and might be con.
sidered as one group. These spots form
the most striking view yet presented
during this season of maximum sun
spots. Scattered among the large spots
are innumerable small ones that appear
no larger than pins head. An eighth
large spot is forming. This wonderful
display of solar forces can be easily OBJ
served by all possessing telescopes with
out danger. Even a spy-glass fixed so
that it can be turned to the sun without
using the eye will throw an image of the
sun on white screen, This image can
be brought into focus by sliding the
tube or moving the screen to and from
the eyepiece until the edge of the sun
appears sharp and the spots become visi.
BILE. The spots can be easily seen on an
image three-quarters of an inch in di~
ameter. But the eye must be kept from
the instrument, OF serious injury will re-
suit. The earth storms seem to respond
to the great storms in the sun with re-
markable precision. 1t is to be hoped
that the sun observations during the
summer, in connection with the meteor.
illogical records, will throw some LIGHT
upon the exact nature of the influence of
sun storms upon the earth.

A Mysterious GrOttO.
Pal Mall Gazette.

A Marseilles paper, under the heading
ga Mysterious GrOtto," relates the fol
lowing story Several sportsmen in
pursuit of game in Formentera, one of
the Balearic Islands, suddenly came upon
a deep excavation, the entrance to which
was covered by bushes and underground
They proceeded to explore it, and having
with some difficulty removed several
large stones found themselves in we'll
built chamber of Moorish design, the
walls of which were ornamented with
undecipherable characters. In the
middle of the chamber were two tombs
of admirable workmanship. On re-
moving the metal covers by
which they were closed the explorers
discovered two colossal mummifed
bodies, one on the right being that of a
young woman, the other that of man.
On the head of the woman was a dia-
dem set with stones which, if genuine,
are of inestimable value. Around her
neck was a necklace of large pearls, two
enormous ear rings were attached to her
ears, and her fingers were covered with
rings. On the head of the man was an
imperial crown, and in his hand he held
sceptre. Six of the discoverers re-
mained to guard the treasure and the
others left for Madrid to consult the au-
thorities. The inhabitants are said to
have known of the cavern, but had
never entered it, thinking it was only a
resort for serpents."

A Sink of Political Iniuuity.
Washington Post.

The vilest sink of political iniquity is
the Government Printing Office. The
most inefficient agent of the government
is the Superintendent of that establish
ment. We hold ourselves ready to show
that it has been fraudulently conducted
in almost every department during the
protracted incumbency of that individu-
al; and that minimum of service has
been obtained at a maximum cost We
do not assert that tho general run of its
employees is worse than that of any other
department, because we know nothing
about them except from common rumor |;
but that the whole concern is corrupt to
rottenness we not only know but stand
ready to prove. The government print
ing office should have been cleaned out
years ago, and would have been if Con-
gress had done its duty. That Congress
failed or rather neglected to give it the
required attention is as much the fault
of Democrats as Republicans. To re-
move Defrees and substitute snybody
else is no remedy, The system should
be broken up, and score or more of
men who have been systematically pil.
fering the government sent to the peni-
tentiary.

CONFEDERATE BONDS.
The Demand for Them In WASH
ingtOn.

WASHINGTON, November Large pur-
chases of Confederate bonds are now being
made here by leading brokers to fill orders
of English customers. The average price
paid to-day is about two dollars for each
81, 600 OF bonds. Most Of the securities
bought here come from Virginia, North
Carolina and Maryland, and it is a noticeable
fact that the holders seem quite as
ready to sell as the brokers are to
buy. There is little doubt that this
purchasing movement grows out of
the deposit made by officers of the Confed-
crate States during the late war of $500 900
I'm the Bank of England. and possibly that
this sum, which still lies there unclaimed,
may be divided pro rata among the holders
OF Confederate securities. 1t is not improb-
able that the question of the disposition of
this money may become the subject of di-
plomatic correspondence between the gov
ernments of this country and Great Britain.
