The Early Closing
 Movement,

There has now been enough of kaLk about this, and believing it is time that s0nethang- SA0nla 6e done, we propose, without waiting any longer for the de- sired united action, to close 0ur' st0re at 6 0'cLock OF Monday e0en1mgy during July and Au- gust
 This is a beginning and it is done with a view to help on the movement, but we would take this opportunity to say that the real and permanent success of the thing depends, not on the storekeepers but on the people. Wherever there is a demand a supply will be forthcoming: if people 70zV trade i'll the evening the stores will keep open for them. If the trades unions (who, we observe, have taken up the cause of the dry goods clerks) really wish to help early closing, they will most effectu- ally do it by inducing their members and friends H0t 70 6zly anyth5mg anyq0here after six o'clock.

The Marquis of Salisbury.

London Letter to the New York Times.1
 Up to certain point there can be but lit tie question that the Marquis of Salisbury is the ablest man in British politics. No one else can compare with him, for example, in terseness, vigor, pointedness and power of political statement, especially if it be of the critical kind. 1 think too, that one else has so comprehensive and clarified an idea of the foreign. situation and the part England should play in the European concert. His mind is essentially acute, clear, courageous and consecutive in habit of action. In word, he would be the ideal minister of a sovereign who was supreme i'll authority and mad no need to consider either ways and means or the security of the throne-such sovereign, for example, as his great ancestor, Lord Bureigh, served. But the other side of Lord Salisbury's character renders him just the kind of minister impossible in country where the sovereign is igurehead, and Demos is angrily suspicious of attempts to thwart popular rule. He is intensely aris- tocratic by temperament and convictions; in- tolerant of all things even remotely resem- bling radicalisfn, and profound disbelieter in the ability of the people to govern them selves He believes that the Eerrie England of the first Ceci's time WAS a better thing than this modern England of Joseph Cham berlain; hs regards democracy i synonym for infdelity; he 1oathos dissenters, aborni- mates deinagogues and rsveres the authority of the cro'Yti and ths peers temporal and spiritual. 1tt other words, ,hs is nsdiptai idhte of the best sort stfdiots, grave, hon 6tabisj big9tsd, prifeslsi [ ,t1aghifcstit PsJ tt5n, ati Hefy at1tas6hist with sqhals, i cttsi ind e6nte4bttt8Hs tfgaht 8Fef. .e8He6itsa iH- feti8ts wh8 dtsBHts lis tishtttt aHsh9ttty

The results of series of observations car ried out by the hydrograpical bureau at Washington, in order to determine the length, depth and duration of ocean waves, have been published. The largest wave ob- served is said to have had 6 length of half a mile, and to have spent itself in twenty three seconds. During storms in the North Allan tic waves sometimes extend to length of 500 and 500 feet, and last from ten to twelve seconds. The most careful measurements of the heights of waves give from A to 4S feet as an extreme limit. The average height of great waves is about 30 feet. These measure ments refer to ordinary marine action and do not relate to earthquake action or other ex- ceptional agencies.

A MOB IN LONDON.
HOrse-PIay of English STSuShs''- Charge of Human "Wedge''-A

HOrse-PIay of English ssToushs,,-
 Charge of Human ssWedge''-A SBit'' of Fun.
 From the Chicago Times.l
 A London mob is always more formidable in it's dimensions than in it's actions. In the English metropolis, unlike Paris, mob is always possible, irrespective of weather, oc- casion or cause. At any time call for a gathering in Hyde Park to denouncs some thing will bring together one hundred thou sand men. These assemblages were very frequent during the Russo Turkish war, and were universally composed to the extent of about ninety nine per cent. of men who had no interest in the war and no voice in the government. In those instances they were all jingoes favoring a against Russia, and intolerant of men who protested against an alliance with the 'unspeakable Turk '" Always the assembly of great mob in Lon don means, in the main, assembly of hoodlums, of the E'riffraff," the offscourings of the metropolis; it never represents any thing in the nature of principle; it is not agitated by notorious abuses, and does not meet to protest against popular wrongs. It is not in any sense a political gathering; the occasion affords gala time for the ''roughs," who use it for the exhibition of horse play of the most offensive kind.
 There may be such thing as the people of England, but if so the fact is never rep resented in any monster gatherings. A pop ular demonstration means, in that country, or at least in London, acres of bowling toughs to whom the public veal is of not the smallest account, and concerning which they have as little idea have the lean horses of the omnibus lines. Under the guise of some public emergency they come together to smash hats, jostle well-dressed spectators and raise-pandemonium. Dead cats are always present in force. One of these animals will be flung far into the center of dense gath ering; and a rush will be made to recover it. Bushes made by wedge-shaped forma- tion of a hundred or a thousand men, which is directed edge foremost into dense crowd into which it moves with irresistible force, accompanied by yells of terrific volume. The effect crowd of the ingress of this pow erful mass may be imagined, but not de- scribed.
 From his own point of view the unit of the English mob is not cruel; his perform ance is simply a good-natured exhibition of what he conceives to be fun. To knock down women, children and old men; to fling dead cat into the center of of peo- pie and then to charge through the crowd, knocking them down, trampling on them, bruising their bodies and breaking their limbs is simply a good-natured performance. To direct a rush against mass of people standing on the borders of one of the lakes, to force them pell-men into the water is common, but is always simply "bit" of fun. When the mob finally adjour1s it usu- ally scatters in sections of thousands So, who select the residence of government off cials and there develop some more good fun. They smash in the windows, boot, yell and then are dispersed by the police.

The Noise of The Glorlous Fourth.

A novel question has just been decided by the English court for the consideration of crown cases. A man had obtained some fur niture on the thire system," or installment plan, so common in this country. According to the terms of the agreement it was not to be his property until the last installment was paid After several of the quarterly pay ments had been made he sold the furniture without the knowledge of the tradesman and without having paid the amount remaining due on it. He was thereupon arrested for larceny, tried and convicted. The question whether he could be prosecuted for larceny was presented to the full court for the con-

Among the Illinois gambling laws is one providing that any person losing money at gambling may recover it by sait begun with in six months If he shall not so sue, any outsider may bring suit a,.ld recover treble the amount of the gambling loss, to be divid- ed with the county. The law has been a dead letter, but now Samuel Berkowitz, a clothing dealer, sues John T. Lester and Charles SWart7l, two prominent board-of- trade men, uhder it for $450, 1000. Berkowitz alleges that in February, 1884, the defend ants won from Edward Partridge $50 OOOby deal l.n railroad stocks, which is charged with solemn legal verbosity to be gambling unc4er the law in question. Partridge paid rp and has not sued for the money, so that | the plaintiffs chance to recover turns on the question whether or not the original transac- tion was gambling.
 The Pennsylvania Republicans hold a con- vention tomorrow to nominate 6 candidate for State treasurer. It is expected that Col onel Quay, who is we'll known as a 'Fboss," will be nominated. The Philadelphia Times thus discourses: None will question that the overwhelming vote by which Quay will be nominated on Wednesday next is the fairest possible reflex of the wishes and purposes of the active Republican people. They turn to Quay, machine and all, as the most hope full method of political rehabilitation in
 State and nation. They are tired of concili-
 ation to kickers: they despise mugwumps;
 they distrust the goody goody leaders and
 organs that are ever shivering over old-fash-
 toned, solid party work and they hsve start ed out to kick disputing leaders aside and to
 kick the kickers of all shades either into or out of the party fold. And with them are more than half of the old independent bolt CTS of 1882. They make their apology for
 the election of Pattison by gulping Quay down without even making wry faces over the dose.
 Detailed accounts are given in the Berlin and Paris papers of a monster movable globe, made of copper, the work of a blind clockmaker, and on the construction of which seventeen years were spent. The globe rep resents the earth, and, like it, turns on it's own axis by means of mechanism; an arti- fcial moon moves round the globe in twen- weight days and six hours, while a movable metal band on which the hours are marked indicates the mean time in the different parts of the earth. Round the upper DOT tion of this immense globe, which weighs a ton and half, and whose surface measures 126 feet in diameter, spins a railroad car capable of holding six persons, and which serves to give a better view of the regions of the north pole, The painting of the globe is done in oil, and necessitated the employment of two men during en- tire year. The sun is represented by an ap paratus lighted by intense Drummond calcium light which enables the spectator to watch intelligently the origin and change of the different periods of the day, the early dawn, the twilight, eclipses of the sun and moon &c
