DANGEROUS Anlusements.

The man in st. Louis who shot ut his
wife's paramour to kill and only
wounded him having been subjected to
no penalty, it was quite natural and still
more just that the Cincinnati coroner
should hold guiltless the player who
shot only at the apple on his sweet
hearts head and killed her. This sad
circumstance, which seems to have
brought more grief to him than to
anyone else, robbing him of his expected
bride and of his profession, has served
as text for quite number of eminent
journals to dilate upon the necessity for
a law prohibiting reckless and fool
hardy entertainments which involve
the risk of human life. But
as contemporary remarks tie
popularity of such entertainments is
not dependent upon their toleration by
law. 1t is due to an inexplicable popu-
lar passion, which is not confined by any
means to spectacular representations,
to witness the risk of life. "a
crowd will assemble to see an iron
safe hoisted upto third or fourth story,
not because the sight is an amusing or
exhilarating one, but because of faint
expectation, almost amounting to
hope, that the ropes will give way and it
will tumble down and kill some one. A
greater crowd will gather to see a man
60 up to paint in dead white the high
spire of a church steeple, than could he
attracted to see Paul Veronese deco
rating a palace, or a Michael Angelo
painting Last Judgment. 1t is diff
cult to make moral analysis of this feel
ing. 1t is no answer to say that
it is popular admiration for skill in Der.
formance. for it would require just as
good Workmanship to shoot the top knot
off q cigar store sign at the same dis
tance as to hit an apple on a woman's
head, and yet such show would not
draw. And while the players might be |
regulated by law, popular taste would

How tho Earrisbarg Rin. Manipulated
County Officers.
| Harrisburg Dispatch to Philadelphia Times.
An important factor in accomplishing
the aims Of the machine system in the
state is tho studied effort to compromise
county officials in every part Of tho state.
PrOthonotaries. registers, recorders and
treasurers, whether Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, are tempted by the hangers. on of the
bosses in this city to defraud the state in
making returns Of their fees. They are
told that everybody does it; that the ex.
cess fees required to bo divided with the
state arc never fully returned and seldom
returned at all, aud scores OF county officers
have been thus tempted to enlarge their
incomes by adopting the now very general
custom of Withholding tho excess
fees due tho state. am credibly
informed of many instances in which
county officers of both parties have
yielded to tho machine tempters. and
the day that they did 80, mado them the
slaves Of the bosses. If Republicans,
whenever delegates or any politica! results
are wanted III the counties, they are
ordered to perform service for tho machine
and if they hesitate they arc reminded that
they can be exposed and disgraced at tho
will of the bosses. If Democrats. they
are ordered to state the policy of tho De-
mocracy so as to best servo the machine,
or to give quiet support to boss candi-
dates or be neutral in important battles.
If they dare to take an active part for
their own party, they arc quietly notified
that they are on the brink of a volcano :;
that their disgrace is within the power of
the machine, and they arc si!enced. This
is one Of the invisible but most important
elements of power that the machine pos
sesses. Its leaders suggest and aid the
theft Of revenues due the state, to make
officials their abject dependents, and the
list, having been growing for many years.
is now very large one in both parties in
the state.
If Governor Pattison's cabinet shall bo
what is confidently expected, ho will find
congenial work for his new attorney gen-
eral in exposing the studied frauds with
the machine leaders Of this city. A false
return of the fees of the county offices
which are required to divide with the
state, is the rule and honest returns the
exception, ard an honest, exhaustive in
vestigation of this system of machine
fraud, would recover tens of thousands of
dollars due tho treasury, and expose many
of the great henchmen of tho bosses in
different parts of the commonwealth. 1t
is one OF Pattison's most inviting fields
and he will DO forgetful of his own record
if he fails to cultivate it.

Venus is about to make another tran
sit, that is to pass between the earth and
sun. The flippant paragraphers of the
ribald press are inclined to make bad
Jokes about the impending event. The
scientists have called for prayers for
clear weather that there may he unob-
scured observation Of tie great as
Economical incident and the preachers
seem to be rather gratilied at the sight
of obdurate science in the unwonted at
titude of crooked knees. For al! this
trihing the public should not lose sight
of the very great Importance of the
scientific observations of next Wednes
day. AS a matter of curiosity, to he in
vestjgated by the naked eye behind
a pair Of opera glasses or with
the familiar smoked glass from
4. m. to $40 p. ~, it has not Oc-
CURED since A. d. 1874 and will not re-
cur until A. D. oO0G. But the scientific
value of the transit lies in the fact it can
be made to measure the exact distance
from the earth to the sun, which is
itself the astronomical unit of measure
ment in the vast distances of space.
From the transit of 1860 for over a hun
dred years this distance was fixed at
from 1000, 600 to 5000, 600, and with 4
million dollars spent in observation in
1871 the variation was reduced to from
81, 100000 to 93,5OO,OOO miles. The TN
certainty will in all probability be
further lessened this year and our gov
ernment has eight parties in the field,
scattered from New Mexico to the Cape
of Good Hope taking observation. The
sun will hardly refuse to shine ut all the
proposed points of view.

Record reporter actually discovers that
cockrcaches were not entirely unknown in

"cockroach tea may he used with good
