nuE aIR WE BREATHE.

M. Miquel, scientific Frenchman, has been making some interesting and impor- tant examinations of different kinds of air in order to ascertain how much better to breathe country air is than city air. His discoveries are we'll worth the attention of all, though they are calculated to have 8 rather depressing effect on those who are obliged to live in cities.
 M Miquel finds that air in Paris contains nine or ten times more bacteria than air in the country. In the Rue de Rivoli he finds
 an average number of 760 bacteria in autumn, 40 in winter, 94O in spring, and 92O in summer Cor mean annual average of 75O), per cubic metre of air. At Montsouris the mean annual number is 75, while in the winter of 1882 there was minimum of 45, and in the summer of 1881 large maximum. In hospitals he has found 5000 in a cubic metre of air, and in some cases the enor- nous number of 20, 900.
 It is found that warm weather has less to do with multiplying these minute forms of life in the air than rainfall M. Tissandier has found that in cubic metre of air after 8 rainless week there was an aggregate of aDouG O.Ozo or 8 gEAmme or Ou5G, while ALCer heavy rain the floating matter was reduced to only O06 of gramme. But M. Miquels experiments show that soon after rain falls the living organisms swarm forth in aug mented numbers. .--...
 Those discoveries are very important and may be very useful. As the New York Her. aid points out: It clearly follows from these interesting discoveries that the most efica- cious means of purifying the atmosphere of cities consists, as M. Miquel infers, in the speedy removal of all dust and matter sus- ceptible of putrefaction. His observations also prove that after spells of rainy weather, when it is often supposed that the storm wa ter has cleared the highways of air-polluting matter and that the street cleaners may con- sequently take 8 holiday, the most urgent necessity exists for the vigorous work of the scavenger and the vigilance of the sanitarian.
 We should Ii ke to have M. Miquel exam n collection of air from the central part of New Haven gathered some day when the wind is blowing. We imagine that he would find enough unhealthy stuff in it to astonish those who breathe it and continue to live.

The Glorious Fourth.

10 the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 Is it too soon to ask few questions about the Fourth of JulyP Perhaps not, as fre- crackers are every day fired of under our windows at present.
 Many citizens will escape the noise of the day by being absent in the country, but there are many physically or otherwise una ble to leave town each summer and these certainly will be glad to know, viz First, does Fourth of July" begin early in June and extend to about the 10th of July? Sec- ondly, Is there no law to prevent the firing of miniature cannon and similar artillery under the windows of citizens? Thirdly, when the Mayor prohibits frecrackers and other explosives being fired on ''any other places in the city but the Green, Fare peo pie obliged to take any notice whatever of this announcement
 If the Declaration of Independence had been signed December 4th instead of July 4th all might be well, but the weather usual ly is inviting for general out-of door per formance and the heat necessitates open win dows. The Fourth could be celebrated in some other way suggestive of quiet enjoy ment, or at least harmonious noise at place previously agreed upon. All wish to see children happy, but this evil is not happy event. It is dangerous to those who take part in it, as well as injurious to those whom they disturb.

STRANGE JUBILATION.


 Immediately after their acQuittal the 'sStar- Reuters" with their counsel and their friends began great jubilation, which they appar- ently intend to keep up as long as it will last. Ever since the verdict there has been 8 constant round of congratulations, 'ova- tions" and glori6cstions which seems rather disproportioned to the simple fact that cer- tain well meaning servants of the govern ment have been unjustly accused and very propeEly acquitted. We can understand how parcel of rogues could be wild with delight an innocent man ought to anticipate an ac- qnittal. He would scarcely be expected to celebrate such B mattersof-eourse result of his trial as If 1t were great and unusual event. He would hardly want to be treated like man who had escaped great peril and come through 1t as by fire. Vfndicated inno- cenoe does not as rule require the services of brass band or indulge in fireworks. Under the circumstances the prolonged jubila- lation of the star-Routers seems little ps culiar. It very closely resembles the conduct of men who have got good deal better than they expected or at least 8 good deal better than they deserved. It Is easy enough to understand why their counsel jubilate. It is great point to win where you ought to lose. It is no point at all to win when as @ matter of course you ought to win. The lawyer who has obtained verdict when the most he could expect was a disa- greement of the jury has reason to ''feel good, {" and Bob Ingersoll does feel very good indeed. But why should the star-Routers go wild over verdict which if innocent they ought to have expected? Strange to say, they are acting just as men would be expect ed to act who had stolen good deal of mon- ey and who had unexpectedly escaped the punishment they deserved and were now certain of being able to keep '.the swag."
 The most singular feature of this jubilation is the very great enthusiasm which large part of the office holding fraternity of Wash ington manifest over the verdict. Somehow or other they seem to be feeling very much as the criminals are said to feel when other criminals ''get off," No more certain mark of the degradation to which politics, in this country have sunk could be found than the very open sympathy which large number of politicians and office holders have all along manifested for the Star Route gang and which now exhibits itself in ovations to Dorsey and Brady. ,zr

Professor Wright, of Obsrlin, has lately been investigating anew the signs of the gla- eial period in America, and finds that the great sheet of ice must have covered the ter ritory between it's northern limit at Alleghany county, New York, southwest through Penn sVIvania, entering Ohio g few miles north ot the Ohio river, which it crossed on the line between Campbell and Pendleton counties, Kentucky, and recrossed near the southern boundary of Dearborn county Indiana. All this territory bears marks of glacial action, and is dotted all over with bonlders, which now lie hundreds of miles south of their source. When the glacier extsnded across the Ohio it must have formed dam from 500 to 600 feet high.

LOVE VERSUS GOLD.


Farewell! Perhaps Ills better so,
We but repeat a story old
And part. as others have before,
When love has wagcd war 'gainst gold.
What matters II that eyes grow dim,
That cheeks grow white and hearts turn cold
That love no longer crowns our iiycsl
It's all for sake Of "bonny gold"
Hearts do not break. grief does not kill.
To worship gold Is worldly wise;
Does Il not make = life complete,
A perfect dreams paradise!
Twas love 'gainst gold-;he gold has won.
What matters u that love u lostg
The old-time sweetness dead and gone.
Our hearts laid wasieI Why count the cost
The gold has won. 10 future years
The tears VIC shed shall diamonds be
And dropping, iiIl up cv'ry void.
oh happy fate. Grand destiny.
oh. may our lives lie far apart
Till hearts are passionless and cold!
The dream was fair and sweet and bright,
But not go bright as "bonny gold"
