that decision, nor are they agreed
upon 1t. When the official copy of the de-
clslon can be had and considered, it may be
iound that the views of the United States

restoration of confidence, and quiet that

Facts About Flies.


Naturalists tell us that the fly is not
an insect. A true insect has SIX legs
four wings, an external skeleton and I'M
dergoes metamorposes. but fies have
only two wings; so the naturalists make
. classification for them and call them
Diptera. They seem TO have nothing
else to do but TO multiply their species,
and no hy-trap has yet ever successfully
applied Malthusiau principles to them.
II Is estimated that from spring to au'
tumn Ms many as two million descend
ants will spring from a single pair. The
green bottle'fy thrives best on carrion.
The horse.hy ia bred in filth and dirt.
One species of fly, instead OF laying
eggs, lays living msggots, and another
kind is said TO be able to shoot out his
eggs like pellets out OF pop.gun. AT
Pisa, Italy, there are hies that give out
an agreeable odor. They feed on or
ange and lemon aowers. and as they
have four wings, some naturalists Slain

Buffers Collapse in Boston.

Boston Letter to the Hartford Courant- Rep,
The Butler party is in bad way in
Boston Just now. 1t needs Buffers own
presence to bring about revival. One
Of tho most significant symptoms in poll
tics Is the extent to which it has dwin-
died here. A year ago Butler was such
power that he really held the city in
his hands. The Democratic party was
all his, and that in connection with the
Butler Republicans was in an apparent
majority Of 10, 900 with us. 1t looks o =
as II Butler had thrown nearly oil
this strength away. The Democrats
speak in the most encouraging terms OF
the support which Mr. Cleveland il OBJ.
tanning from those who have been But
Ter men, and their confidence seems
really to be justified. just now it looks
very much like collapse of Butlerism
in Boston. What the situation may be
after Butler returns from his tour in
other States to claim his old allegiance
1t is perhaps not safe to say. This is
clear, that his more efficient leaders
have left him, and that if he is to reor-
ganize his party with wisdom, he is los.
ing much precious time The Republi-
cans do not look with any special salts
faction upon the state OF things. They
would prefer the Democratic party more

ABOUT Sleep

The immortal Sancho Panza says;
"while am asleep have neither fear
nor hope; neither trouble nor glory; and
blessings on him who invented sleep
the mantle that covers all human
thoughts; the food that appeases hunger;
the drink that quenohes thirst; the fire
that warns, the cold that moderates
heat, and, lastly, the general coin that
purchases all things; the balance and
weight that makes the shepherd equal
to the King and the simple TO the wise. !"
Cervantes, like all great brain.workers,
evidently understood the value. the COM
forts, the delights Of sleep, which are no,
fully appreciated by any one until hesnt-
fers the panQs OF wakefulness. One OF the
most exquisite forms of torture devised
by the tyrants of Europe and modern
China was to inhict death by preventing
sleep. A case is somewhere recorded
Of a Chinese criminal who suffered for
sineteen days before succumbing. Food,
drink and raiment are more easily dis.
psnsed with for a considerable period
than is rest for the brain. Insomnia or
inability TO sleep is . common enough
symptom OF many nervous and mental
diseases. and deprivation OF sleep, II
kept up long enough, invariable results
In loss Of reason. The poet, Southey laid
the foundation Of that mental fnaiady
which cloudcd his later years by watch.

Old Won Moltke's Health.


Count Won Moltke has been staying
during the last three weeks at Ragatz,
where he has been taking a course OF the
hot waters of Pfaffers, which are con-
voyed from the springs along the Tamina
gorge in wooden pipes. The Count has
been a regular visitor at Ragatz for the
last ten years. and he always stays at
the Queellenhof. which has the best
bathing establishment, and to which is
attached pleasant terrace garden.
Ragstx has been very full this year, but
there are few English visitors, as most of
them merely stop to view the Pfatfers
spray on their way to the Egadine.
Count Moltke is in excellent health, and
the story that his intellect has become
impaired is pure romance.

TUESDAY next gives promise of being a
day of more than ordinary importance in
the history of American politics, for then
a conference of leading DemocIatic leaders
is to in the city of Baltimore.
Its deliberations will professionally
have a most important bearing upon the
National convention of the party which is
to be held about three months later in the
city of Chicago. Then, too, on the day in
question, the tariff bill is to be called up
in the House of Representatives and Mr..
Morrison and his friends will be active in
their .endeavors to secure its passage. In
this connection, it can bcsaid without fear
of contradiction that the action of Demo-
cratic congressman and the leaders of
their party will be directed to those ends
which tend most directly to contribute to
the best interests of the entire people
throughout the nation.

THE State officials high in power in
Colorado would earn a debt of gratitude
from the public at large were theyto make
IN investigation into the doings of some
rotten corporations in their commonwealth
and bring to justice rlscals who with
plausible, but rotten schemes, hcartlessly
fleece many unsuspecting persons, The
nefarious mining companies have been
succeeded by bogus insurance and spu-
rlous cattle companies. Were some Of
the scoundrels engaged in these swindIes
promptly sent to the %penitentiary, where
they properly belong, other villains would
undoubtedly be thus deferred from impos-

are some companies both ostensibly stock

In LEADING mercantile circles of the
east, there has long prevailed n strong
sentiment in favor of a stringent though
equitable bankruptcy law. Much feeling
was engendered against the forty-seventh
Congress for not enacting some such salu-
tary measure, The Bland bill, which is
now pending, seems to be the embodiment
of much well digested wisdom gathered
from the long experience Of successful
merchants and able lawyers. For more
than five years past, the country has suf,
fered hom the absence Of a national law
governing the question of Insolvency.
Whilst this has been so, opportunities
have been great for dishonest debtors to
defaud their creditors, and, consequently
trade has suffered on account of the con-
slant dread and uncertainty prevailing.
The statutes of the individual common
wealths of the Union give but circum-
scribed relief from many of the existing
evils in connection with the extension of
credit in mercantile transactions. The
practical effect Of the absence Of a uni
versal and competent law is amply dem
onstrated in the fact that the total failures
which in 1880 amounted to SOS, 900, 900
increased to sl0l, 100000 in 1882, and
have continued to increase ever since.
The law Of 1867 was crude and inefficient
in many of its workings, although tt was
UNNECESSARILY betterthan no law whatso-
ever. The measure now pending in
Congress has the endorsement Of
the national Board of Trade and
other influential bodies. The belief seems
to be general that its passage will ulti-
mate in much good to the business inter
ests of the country Il

VARIOUS views are being extensively
expressed upon the educational bill which
has recently caused considerable debate in
Congress, but the general tenor of the
press of the country seems to be strongly
in its favor. As amended and passed by
the senate, it provides that ST., 200, 900
shall be appropriated in such-a way as to
provide for the equalization of school
privileges to all children of school age in
all States and Territories, without regard
to color or race, and gives them an equal
opportunity for education. The expeudi-
ture is to extend over eight years, rs fol-
lows: First year. 81, 900, 900; second year,
SO, 900, 900; third year, $751; OO, 900;
fourth year, stS 900, 900; fifth year, Sill
0OO, 900; sixth year, 50, 900, 900, seventh
year, 1000, 900, and eighth year, s., 900, :
900. The money is to be discussed in
monthly installmeuts by the Secretary OF
the Interior. according to the ratio of illit-
sraey, to the Governors of the several
States and Territories on certain condi.
tons, the leading ones of which are as
follows:
81 J. That none Of it shall go TO any State
or Territory that does not have a common
school system for all children, without re-
gard to race or color.
2 That nc State shall receive from this
fund more money thanit annually expends
for school purposes.
3. That zone of the appropriation shall
be expended for the erection or rental Of
school houses, but hat accommodations
for fhe school shah be furnished by the
States 4I1A 54I1 u DlE4 j
