much of what he said against the people of
this country, and bears witness that we are

Queen Victoria was recently swindled

THE dynamite explosion in New York
brings the horrors of this mode Of warfare
decidedly too near home. The incident
while not very serious in itself, brings the
subject of the terrible and resistless power
Of the explosive more forcibly and proni-
nently to the public mind in this country
than anything which has gone before.
The Evening critic., 1885-02-02

THAT dynamite explosion in New York
does not appear to have amounted to much.
But very little damage was done, but con-
siderable of furry was created and good
deal more has been worked up in the news
papers. If there had not recently been dy-
Mantle explosions of considerable magni-
tude in London, the affair in New York
would have attracted but passing COM
ment. 1t may be that the explosion in
New York was or is, suspected to be the
work of the Dry Goods Clerks Association,
in revenge upon the firm that would not
accede to their demands But no such
association in this country would try to
bring about anything like wholesale loss
Of life and property by the use of ex-
Ilosiv6s.

THE complaint of defective ventilation
in the Treasury Departmental is based upon
a much worse state of affairs than is gem
orally known or suspected.
The Treasury building, like many of the
other old buildings in this city, was origi-
ualIy erected without any reference to or
provision for ventilation whatever. In
some portions of the structure oxpedients
of various kinds have been introduced with
more or less success, but many portions of
the building are still entirely without
means of ventilation other than open win.
dows and doors.
The atmosphere Of the Department is
vitiated and depressing, and that of the
Easements and vaults is foul aud sickening
The contemplated improvement is conf
menced none too soon. Thousands have
suffered and some very seriously from the
evils which 1t Is now proposed to remedy.

THE Washington correspond ent of the
Toledo Biade-Prctroleum V. Nasby's paper
says of the Grant matter now before Con-
gress
"George Washington was reappolnted Gen.
eral Of the Army alter he had served two terms
as President and retained tho position until
his death. Why should not General Grant be
placed upon the retired list Tho original
dill 10 retire General Grant passed the Senate
at the last session OF the present Congress
with but one dissenting vote, and would un-
doubtedly have been called up and passed
through the House now, had IL not been for
the very great mistake Of Senator Etmunds In
Introducing his unfortunate measure, which
received nfteen negative votes. In my opin-
ion General Slocum Is perfectly right Ia his
course I'm the matter, and Senator Edmunds
and the Republicans In the House VIII be re-
sponsible II General Grant Is left 70 suifer un'

Mr.. Arthur put his foot away down deep
into a great mistake when he vetoed the
Flt2-John Porter bill, and he ought to be
afforded the opportunity Of placing himself
light upon his own record by signing the
original Senate bill TO retire General Grant.
Should the Edmunds measure pass, he
could as easily write in the name OF George
B. Mcclellan as that Of General U. S.
Grant. II is a power that has never been
granted emperors, kings or potentates, and

THE RED ACORN.

Our subscribers from all parts Of the coun-
try are sending in for the Red Aeorn-from
four to ten being received per day. There is
but one voice from all those who read it,
and that is that there is no more fascinating
war book published than it. Everybody
praises it, and everybody who has bought it
is glad that they have got it. As we said
before, the price of the book is 81, but we
will send it postpaid to those who are
already subscribers to THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE for IS cents; to new subscribers the
book and NATIONAL TRIBUNE for one year
for $1.75. This is an admirable opportu-
nifty to get book which will not only be
interesting to the elder people who passed
through the war times, but teaches, in a
most correct way, to the younger generation
the trials and terrible experiences of our
national conflict

New York hotel keepers are finding to their as
constituent that entertaining foreign notabitics
does not pay These have been sought after as
great advertising cards. but the regularity with
which houses that have attracted sweldom from
over the water go into bankruptcy begins to attract
attention. The reason given is that foreigners ex-
pect American entertainment at European prices,
which no hotel can stand. The English, German
or French mob" is always u very thrifty chap,
who intends that his nickel shall bring him dimes
worth of whatever he wants.
The Napoleonic family always was abundantly
supplied with small vices. None of them ever
hesitated TO tell lie when it would serve pur-
pose and the great Napoleon himself could be
guilty of as little tricks any keeper or
restaurant waiter in America. But the present

Our correspondent has not altogether made hfs

the entertainment was under the direction OF the
Post through its officers. and the Quartermasters
position is simply that of any other member of the

the entertainment closed they would necessarily

took place in front Of Atlanta on the ODD of
July, 1864, when Hood made a desperate
but unsuccessful effort to break the great
anaconda of armed men which Gen. Sher-
man was coiling around the doomed city. 1t
was the bitterest struggle of the Atlanta
camaign, and the story is admirably told by
Gen. Fuller. Comrades of the Army of the

should send for them at once, because there
may be difficulty in supplying them after
