THE PRICE or PROFESSIONS.

There was no piece of news last week-nOt even the
crisis in Irish afairs-which touched each Of orr
readers so nearly the recent sudden rise In pro-
visions. man, whatever his opinions, can afford
to wait until next week to know what the English
Government will do about the of Irish rents,
but he must know to-day how he make a prob
ably limited supply of market money buy beef or
chickens at exorbitant prices. Whether these high
prices for beef are due alleged, to the wholesale
destruction of cattle i'll the Western SHOWS of the
winter of 1879, or to the speculation of few
dealers really matters nothing to the individual
buyer. as he can affect neither the one
the other by anything which he can do. He has
his personal remedy in his own hands however,
which is, not TO buy the meat. Recourse TO that
simple expedient by the great mass of householders
of moderate means for a week or two will soon
bring down the rates.
1t seems the barest of plaitudes to adj
wise "a man to do without thing as a
resource for not being able to get it, But meat
has come to be most unreasOnably considered by
many Americans as the staff of life. The average
householder actually does not know that there are
articles which supply precisely the same kind and
amount of nutriment to the human body as the
flesh of animals The present is IA suitable time for
the study by him Of these useful facts in detetcs.
I he cheaper cuts of beef and mutton, too, quite
as appeizIng and nutritious the choice parts, if
little more attention and skill be given to their
preparation for the table. Some of the most de-
cious laS of the French cook made of those por
tons when the American housewife would reject
with scOTn from her larder. There many house,
holds, too. where oatmeal, fish, and the egumnous
vegetables scarcely known. Yet there are whole
races of men, sturdy and long-liyed men, too, who
have been reared these articles Of food instead of
meat. The present prices, annoying as they may be-
will have their use if they force the lavish reckless
American consumer into learning these long-neg-
lccted lessons in domestic economy

COUNTRP BOARD.

II is an undoubted fact that the number OF
city people who spend the summer In the coun-
try is greater each year. Every father OF
family finds that his children must have the
fresh air and free exercise of the country Tor
two or three months in the summer. That
brings them back to the city in the autumn
with stronger limbs, better appetites and more
vigorous bodies than they could ever develop
by continuous city life. Many father devotes
two or three hours a day TO railway travel,
with its many discOmforts, through the not
summer months, in order that his children may
enjoy these priceless benefits. But the children
are not the only gamers. Physicians say that
for young and old alike the long nights OF sleep
in the pure country air are worth more than all
the tonics which were ever cOncocted. There
are endless gibes at the dscOmforts incidental
to this annual summer soiourn yet when all
has been said that can be against 1t, the fact
remains that we feel the need of it more and
more each year.
The great and perplexing question with
every busy man is, Where to got lie knows
pretty nearly what he wants, but he has not
the time to hunt it up The problem is very
much easier of solution than he suspects. If he
will put plain statement of what he wants
and where he wants it into the advertising col
umns of The TRIBUNE for a few days. he will
be surprised to see how quickly he will find
what he is looking for And for people in the
country who wish to board few city people
but are uncertain how to reach just the ones
they would prefer to have the same avenue of
communication will be found equally valuable.
We mention these facts because there are SO
many people who read the newspapers every
day and yet never think how valuable they may
be to them in the perplexities of every day life

a simple mania for taking the life of any per
son who excited his anger-was permitted such
exemption from supervision that he escaped
about week ago, and was roaming at large,
till Friday last, to the great terror of dozen
persons whom he had threatened to kill, and
the restless anxiety of the whole neighbor-
hood in which his crime was committed.
A commission was raised by the late Legis-
lature to revise the criminal laws and the
methods of procedure. To disinterested out
siderit would seem to be high time. The cases we
have cited to illustrate the slow-tootedness
and tender-footedness of Connecticut justice
are only specimens. There are more, but
these are perhaps enough.

Citations in these meetings will be a fair hint as
to what Christianity is doing, and as to the
personal quality, too, of individual Christian
workers. THE TRIBUNE has never taken part
with that bigotry of religious denominations
which denounces az lacking in Christian spirit
the work of humanitarians outside of any sect
but on the other hand, it is only just to &C
knowledge that the great, systematic, uninter-
mitted effort for the amelioration of society
is chiefly made by these religious organiza-
tons. Other work may have been rs high in
aim and as effective, but was spasmodic and
temporary.

blood shed at Dublin is to be the blood OF re-
Cancellation. Much will depend upon tne
reception which the Arrears Of Rent bill, 10
be presented to Parliament tomorrow, re-
ceives from the Irish leaders, and especially
from the Irish people Our cable dispa'ch
emphasizes the difficulties of the Government
situation. Three members OF the Oapine'
stood ready to resign if the measure 10 repress
crime in Ireland, introduced on thursday hau
not been severe enough. And the bill had no
sooner been presented than the understanding
between the Government and the Irish men,
beers was at an end, as was shown by the pas
sionate protest of Mr.. Parnell. This leaders
position is certainly not enviable; plainly
thinking that he had been out-manGuvred by
the Government, he must also feel that his
grip on the Irish people is loosened.
1t is evident that the Metropolitan Elevated
Railway Company attaches considerable I'M
portance to the motion made before Judge
Russell yesterday to resettle the Judgment en-
tered in the Caro- suit If the injunction
should remain in its present absolute form ana
afterward be affirmed by the Court of APP
peals. it would probably tax the ingenuity OF

however the motion just made should
be granted there would be palmer sailing be-
fore them, even in the event of an adverse
decision by the Court of last resort. In that
case the suit would be brought back for a jury
to assess the damages; and if the company
should be able to secure from the first jury a
verdict for merely nominal damages they
might, on the strength of such precedent,
successfully meet the other claimants IN the
courts. But if the juries should begin with
large verdlcts the outlook for the companies
would be serious. The counsel for the de-
PENDANTS are hoping much from the decision
in the Story case, which is to be argued be-
fore the Court of Appeals next month; but
the counsel in the Caro- suit declare that their
case is much stronger. and that they expect to
succeed even though the Story suit should be
decided in favor of the elevated road.

When people take up work of reform they
must expect many disappointments, and if
they are easily discouraged there is no use to
begin fight to establish a principle. The
members of the Municipal Society certainly
undertook gigantic task when they struggled
with the STRENGTHENING problem, but their
lack of success ought not to be laid so much
TO heart.

Judge McCarter, of Newark, who has just
awarded the custody of little Mabel Winans to

there was an element of religious bitterness in

The friends of Lieutenant Danenhower will
be pleased if Congress honors him by
vote of thanks and by promoting him to the
rank of Lieutenant Commander 1t would be
a decided advance, for he would then be passed
over the heads of nearly 240 of his fellow
lieutenants. 1t is to be hoped that when Mel
vile returns his brave and energetic efforts to
rescue his Inflated comrades of the Jeanette

tenant DanenhOwer does not recover his eye

ton then would certainly be hard.

The Life-Saving Service has again proved
its great usefulness and its right to demand
appreciation and fair treatment. The lives of
the passengers, numbering about thirty, on the
steamship Pliny, from Rio Janelro, which
went ashore at Deal Beach, were in great
danger. The sea was heavy, and the waves
broke over the decks with great violence. The
men of Life.Saving Station No. g. who were
disbanded last week. were on hand, however,
and soon had the life-lnes out The men of
Station No. 5 also arrived quickly. All the pas
sengers were saved, among them several
women and ten children, the youngest child be-
ing only two months old. john Smith with his
wife and seven babies probably makes the
most grateful showing.
