peared that his strength, consisting of
twenty nine votes, was not yet prepared to
surrender. Lspham fell four votes short OF
the winning number, and so the situation
stands; but it is improbable that the Conk.
lingites will hang together much longer,
seeing that the shrewdest members have
already realized the hopelessness Of
their late speculation, and have
FASTENED to re.enter the Republican party
before it became too late General Sharpe
and his friends no doubt perceive that it is
useless to take any more chances on the
Presidents condition. He persists in pro-
crossing steadily towards convalescence.
and the idea that Arthur might fill his
place is becoming more shadowy and i'm
palpable every day. There is, therefore,
no longer any motive for maintaining the
deadlock, while it may also be presumed
that the real state of public opinion on
the Conkling position has by this time
filtered through into the peculiarly dense
mental strata of the ex-Senator's hench-
men. General Sharpe has led the way and
shown them how to rejoin the party fold
once more, and we have no doubt that
the majority of them will follow suit
shortly. Perhaps just now they are cast
ing about for BONE more or less plausible
explanation of the change of front which
they perceive to be unavoidable.

TIE Recall OF TIE CHINESE MISSION


1t is rumored that the Chinese educa.
tional mission established at Hartford,
Connecticut, is about to be recalled. The
alleged motive of this step is said to be
apprehension lest the liberal ideas gained
by the Chinese youth educated in this
country should form the germs of resolu-
tionary movements in China. 1t cannot
be asserted with any confidence that such
fear is without foundation, for it is OBJ
vious that thorough acquaintance with
modern civilization must have a strong
tendency to render the Chinese civilization
unsatisfactory. If the Chinese Govern.
nent, IN establishing this mission, enter
famed no purpose Of employing the higher
education so acquired, it must be admitted
that it has spent its money uselessly, and
it might as well recall the mission. The
truth however. seems to be that there are
IN China progressive and conservative
party in the Government, as everywhere
else, and that as these parties alternately
succeed in gaining the control, there are
movements Of progress, as typifed by the
establishment OF the Hartford mission,
and movements of reaction, as typified by
the present talk of It's abolition. 1t is to
be hoped that the progressive party may
make the most Roadway. however for I'M.
less it does all these fragmentary efforts at
better knowledge will prove but flashes in

THE PRISON INVESTIGATION.

Most newspapers possess strong enough
sense of propriety to refrain from COM
ments upon cases pending in the regular
courts, and it might have been thought
that any journals which understood the
necessity of such circumspection would
also have recognized the need of like
course in regard to the pending State
Prison investigation. 1t is true that the
Commission appointed by the Governor is
not regular Court, but it is undeniable
that it is trying a case, and that this case
is incomplete on both sides. The wit
nesses have not all been examined, the
facts have not by any means been ex-
hausted, the field of the inquiry has not
been covered, the elements of an intelligent
judgment are not yet in the possession of
journals have taken to commenting more
or less fippantly upon the half-fnished
case, and show readiness to jump at con-
illusions in the absence Of knowledge which
is anything but creditabie either to their
sense of justice or their acquaintance with
judicial principles and forms. It is posi-.
BILE that all these able editors are
much better qualified to conduct the pend.
ing inquiry than the Commissioners ap.
pointed by the Governor. Bat they would
do well to reflect that the present Commits.
sioners after all have been appointed to do
this work, and that therefore they must
perform it in their own way, however de.
fective that may be. When they have
completed their task it will be in order to
draw differences from all the facts elected.
When all the evidence, pro and con, is in,
it will be proper to pass judgment upon
it's relative and aggregate significance.
When the Commissioners have made their
report it will be open to criticism. But if
our esteemed contemporaries really desire
that exact justice shall be done if they
are free from any intention CT harrassing
the Commissioners if they do not wish to
be suspected of a purpose to create preju-
dice, or to anticipate the verdict of the &C
tual judges, they should exercise more
caution in their remarks upon the proceed.

possible from their natural proclivities to-

MORE COMETS AND HEAT.

Another comet is said to have been dis
covered, though as it is not visible to the
naked eye the public cannot be expected
to take much interest in it. But it is nat.
ural that the popular notion OF some con-
nection between the present heavy flight of
comets and the coincident heat waves now
affecting this earth, should exist under the
circumstances. For the heat of this sum.
rner appears to be greater almost every
where than has been experienced for years.
They are actually having deaths from sun
stroke in London, and at Greenwich Oh.
servatory the temperature has been 81 in
the shade. The heat in the Eastern States
of the Union has been most fatal during
the past month. In Ohio it seems to have
been perfectly intolerable. In Cincinnati
the people hsve been gasping like fish out
of water. California, though it has plenty
ofsunshine. really appears to have been sub
jected TO less inconvenience from the heat
than almost any other part of the world.
and this is a cause for seiGsh congratula-
ton.

The Camel.

Arabia has produced the best breed of
these animals, which differs greatly from
the BaetriaH os Tartary camel. The Ara
bian camel has but one hump and seldom
exceeds niue feet to the top Of it. His
proper home IS the desert. In richer
lands, where food is very abundant, he be-
comes larger and eoarser, and looses his
most valuable quality, that Of being able
to live on little food and Of passing many
days without any water at all. The camel
and the dromedary are the same ami
mai, differing only in breed, as the cart
horse differs from the race horse. The
dlomedary corresponds to the latter, and
is used to ride on. He is distinguished by
his small head and ears, slim neck, aud es-
peeially slender and wiry legs. With no
load but his rider, waterskin, and little
food, he may travel a hundred miles day
for four or FIVE days, without injury On
an emergency, he can even 90 $50 miles a
day, stress, however, which renders the
poor animal useless afterward The burden
camel, corresponding to our dray or cart
horse, carries load of 400 pounds, and
walks 2! miles an hour, regularly as a
clock. He is coarser, heavier, and slower
than the dromedary.-C Chambers Journal

A Sea Unicorn.

A curious crowd gathered about the
United States customs appraiser, on the
Pacific mail dock, yesterday afternoon,
says the San Francisco Chronicle of re-
cent date, to witness the opening and ex-
animation of case brought on the City
of Toxic, and said to contain the preserved
remains of a yeritable ''Sea Unicorn"
This is the first of the species, it is said,
ever caught. 1t was captured alive by
means of net in the hands of some fish
ermen near Cape Sagami, but died soon
after it was taken. The hide was stuffed
and carefully preserved by skillful taxi
dermist, and, as it was shown in the box
ing ease, fully mounted for exhibition, it
presented very life like and exceedingly
unique appearance. The body is of the
size of small deer and covered with scales
about an inch in diameter, with tufts of
reddish.brown hair grown quite plentifully
between the scales. Its legs are quite
slender and have long hair about the hoofs,
which resemble those of deer or goat
The tail is straight and tufted, like that
of COW, while the snout is enlarged at
the end, ike that of swine, and the
mouth shows formidable tusks protruding
on either side. From the center of the
face projects single horn, not more than
six inches in length and less than an inch
in diameter, which curves upward slightly.
This is the distinguishing feature of the
unicorn. In addition, there are two long
feelers, or tentaeles, one on each side of
the mouth, resembling somewhat those on
a horned pout. The hair upon the neck
is longer than elsewhere, of the same red
dish color, and has the appearance of a
short name. 1t is apparent that this is
very different species from the narwhal of
the Arctic seas, which is popularity called
sea unicorn, and which is a cetacean man.
NAL of the genus Monodon. 1t is describ-
ed in the books as powerful animal, from
ten to sixteen feet in length, with blow
hole on the top of its head, and single
spiral horn or tusk Of solid ivory five or
six feet in length.
A naturalist describing this specimen
calls it the "mOnocerous, which is said
to be still extant in the reeesses of the
jungles in Central Africa and Asia; but
this the first one brought to light and comes
from the Liusehetten islands, between
Lcochoo and Kinsu, in the Japanese ar
chipelago. It was shipped at Hong Kong,
and it viii undoubtedly create furore, he
thinks, among savants.
