Democrats are appearing hostile with one
or two of the Democrats that are seeking
nominations, but they viii be wei

time comes for putting in the ticket for

discomfort viii no doubt wear away, and

As discoveries and inventions are more
frequent, the tendency to greater cheap
ness Of hfe's necessities is apparent. One
great evil, however, IS much to be deprecat-
ed; when we pay small price for any arti-
Gle we are wont to set lower estimate upon
H. and use it more lavishly, or with less
care, knowing that small sum of money
will replace it.
We should not forget that the increase Of
wealth in an individual, o. people, is meas
ured by the difference Of outlay and income.
When our earnings generally are as large
as ever, and the expense Of living proper
tionately low, the prospect of accommodating
wealth is far better than formerly. and he
who cannot now live and lay up q little is
thrifless and prodigal deserving no help
when the day of need comes.

DIVORCE IN FRANCE.

1t is said that 5000 applications have
already been fled for divorce under the new
French law. This, if true. would seem to
prove that the law is calculated to fill a
'long felt want" That is undoubtedly the
case.
There is little doubt that the open i'm
morality which has been the curse Of French
society, especially among the upper classes
has been aided by the absence of a rational
divorce law. A country where matrimonial
bonds are assumed in most cases purely as
matter of business, and where such bonds,
once tied, can never be loosed. is pretty GER,
tain to develop great deal of 'cussedness"
to the square inch.
In the divorce question. as in others.
there is q golden mean. Where marriage
is considered, as has been the case in
France, a permanent arrangement not to
be dissolved by any amount of immortality
or il-treatment on either hand. extrs-mstri-
monial attachments are never looked upon
with such detestation where there is reas-
enable divorce law. Those States in this
country where divorce law neitser too lax
nor too rigid exists are incomparably su-
prior to France in the standard Of domes-
nc morality which there prevails. .,.r
On the whole, only good results may be
expected from the new French law. But
if the French Legislators should ever rush
to the other extreme and pass laws under
which divorces can be granted for trivial
causes or at the discretion of the Judge
theywin most certainly have jumped from
the frying pan into the Ere.

THE EXCURSION SCANDAL,

The TallapOosa, one of the few American
war vessels, arrives at Bar Hsrbor, on the
coast of Maine, the summer residence OF the
Maine statesman. II has for passengers
the Honorable, the Secretary of the Navy,
Mr.. CHASDLER, and a select company of
his friends. .. .s.. ....
The Dispatch, another Of the few sea.
worthy vessels belonging to the navy, lies
in the harbor of New York awaiting the
convenience of the President Of the United
States, whom it conveyed thither with his
family.
Let US assume that this employment Of
government vessels as summer excursion
steamers for the benefit of a few officials,
while not warranted by law, is in itself so
light trespass that it may be overlooked.
We are still confronted by the fact that the
example is pernicions. As the old cock
crows the young one learns. If the officials
at the very head of the government may
thus violate their trust BY employing pub
lie property in their pleasure excursions,
why may not the thousand and one custo-
dams of government property turn it as
suits their convenience to their own uses2
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
The President and the Secretary of the
Navy are as much bound by law as the
Quartermaster or the Collector Of Customs.
They have not whit more right to utilize
public property for private benefit than has
the humblest civil servant in the land. The
very conspicuity Of their station demands
of them more conscientious observance Of
their obligation.
The abuse has grown up since the war
and has been carried to lengths undreamed
Of when it was commenced, Every collec-
tor of port now uses the revenue cutter Of
bis district for excursion purposes, and the
PRECEDENT and some members Of his Cabinet
have frigates of war dancing attendance
upon their movements throughout whole
. summers vacation.

DRIPPING BEAUTIES,

There is no severer test of feminine beau
ty than plunge in the deep blue sea. Full
many belle of purest ray serene, whose
dazzling loneliness in the ball room has
caused many masculine heart to twitter,
has emerged from the briuy deep like half
drowned scarecrow with weedy hair. Old
Neptune loves not faisehoOd. Paint, pow
der and pufs all melt within his damp en-
brace like ice cream before an ardent lover.
Well might rare Ben JoNsoN, gazing upon
the made-up watering place beauty of his
time, exclaim:
''Give me look, give me face,
That makes simplicity grace"
There were powder and bangs in rare oil /
3EN's day as there are now, and the be
draggled maiden who emerged from the sea
like 9 dissipated mermaid reappeared on
the hotel piazza like vision of beauty
dropped from Eden.

THE coNrTDENTIAL CLERK.

1t is evident from the great success attend
ing its management, says contemporary
that the confidential clerk business is no
longer an infant industry and that all pro
lection should be withdrawn from It. Will
LIAM E. ScoTIL, managing clerk of law
firm in New York city, has just been found
out defaulter to the.amount Of $500, 900 or
100000 He had the key to the safe and
the general direction of the business. Not
content with this he stole the securities of
the Office, forged his employers name to a
power of attorney and did as he pleased in
general and in particular. .., H..
The Minton Brothers carry on the bust
ness of petroleum brokers in New York.
They had youth of eighteen or nineteen in
their employ who was trusted messenger.
When sent to bank with money for deposit
he would enter the same upon the bank
book and then put it in his pocket. The
money of the Messrs. MISToS not being
inexhaustible it was soon subjected to some
strain when they drew checks. Finally one
of these was returned dishonored. They
then made the discovery that their messen-
ger had secured $4,000 from one and
81, 500 trom.another by this method. This
brought them the sympathy of their fellow
brokers, but not their money.
Now that the confidential clerks have de-
veloped their business to such pitch that
it is no longer an infant industry it is not
improbable that employers will conclude
that it is time they enjoyed the least bit Of
protection and viii organize an association
Cor this purpose.

EVERY BOOM ITS BARREL,

The time has now come for the grand
army of barrels to be tapped. The RePub-
Hcan barrels have been waiting in the hoops
for the order to disgorge. Democratic bar
rels are all ready to be opened, and even
the Independent and Prohibition barrels
NAV be found standing on their heads and
feeling as jolly as possible under difficulties.
No battle can be fought, no army man
Guvred without commiSSariat and the
sinews of war. These, in the case Of q
Presidential canvass, are barrels. All par
ties must look to their barrels. When they
are full all viii 90 well, when empty there
will be no spirit in the ranks. A lover
must be fed, so must patriot Give him
his pap and he is happy, @rve him and he
is apt to fade away.

THE CHOLERA.

1t should not be too readily taken for
granted that the epidemic Of cholera in
southern Europe is dying out because of a
diminution in the number of cases reported
nom TouIon and MarseiIles. The truth is
not only that an increase has to be recorded
in the rural districts of the south of France,
bnt that the plague is at this moment more
widespread than it has been at any time
since June 4, the date when it appeared at
Toulon. The papers now include in their
daily reports accounts of its progress or de-
cline in cities as widely separated as Mar
settles and Rome, whereas at first it was
confined to single maritime department Of
France.
But there is another reason why we should
not be in haste to rejoice over the de-
cline of the plague. 1t is one of the pc
cuIiarities Of cholera, that it will seem to
die out, as the Msrsaillaise and Toulonese
fouly imagine it is doing with them, and
then, as if it had only been playing with its
victims as a cat does with a mouse, it re-
turns with redoubled force and reaps fresh
baryests from fields that it had seemingly
exhausted. In view of this there can be
no assurance of safety until we are abso'
htely certain that the last victim has
been buried and that the plague has posi-
lively disappeared.
1t is gratifying to note that On this side
of the water precautions have not been re-
Taxed because Of the reports from Toulon,
Our only safety lies in vigilance. We can
keep cholera from our shore, and no effort
to do so should be spared. no matter with
what flattering tales the hopes of the French
color telegraphic dispatches.
