The fogs of London and other large
towns, it is probable. presents to the
minds of the majority of those who suf-
fer from it an idea but much less hazy
than the aspect with which it cOmfronts

Comparatively few of the atfl cted C are
to inquire into the composition of tn cir
tOrmcntor, or even to define its cause
with accuracy. They may be aware
that it is not at all river damp. nor yet
all smoke; but the subleties of chem cal
analysis however interesting to the
professional inquirer, are for most men
lost in general feeling of present dis
comfort which is tangbly ag-
gressive, unfathomable and un-
avo dable. Sir Douglas Gallon,

the composition. origin and practical
treatment of this master evil of town

partake of the nature OF its subject, but
after traversing tho details of theory,
he was able to point his hears to certain
definite facts of causatiOn, and to adj

meet the difficulty by substituting the

Says the New York Tribune One
subject that congress can have no good
pretext for refusing to act upon is the
question of restricting immigration.
Senator Palmer made an important
speech on his bill the most comprehen-
sive of the measures relating to this
matter that have been introduced Mr.
Palmer's plan is to have immigrants
obtain from United States consuls cer-
tifcates of good character, etc, and
also to pay a head tax the amount Of
which is yet to be fixed. He does not
claim to have solved the problem. Some
of the features of his measure, however,
would obviously work to this country's
advantage

At the twenty third annual union
OF the Detroit high school alamni, Frank
d Andrus, lawyer of Detroit, and q
member of the class of '68, in his Grafton
advocated a more thorough study of
English grammar in every grade of the
public schools. He thought that the
study of the English language and
literature should stand pre-eminent in
the curriculum of both schools and
colleges, because it was the language
of the most powerful, free and vigorous
people of the world, and is probably DIES
tined TO supplant all others in the world,
and because its literature is the richest
of all languages in poetry, oratory,
philosophy, history, fiction and the
drama.

the Harrison & Morton Railroad Club of
Terre Haute. It was 10 O'Clock when the
procession drew up in front of General Har-

appeared he was greeted with three deafen-
ing cheers and the waving Of GOO lanterns.
General Harrison addressed the delegation
1t considerable length, dwelling mainly on
the responsibility of railroad employees, In
whose hands were trusted the lives of the
people and the commerce of the country,
and referring to the work shops, railroad en-
terprise, etc., in Indiana, the speaker said:
at will be hard to convince such an en-
lightened body Of ~workingmen that . policy
which would transfer from this country to
another work that might be done here IL
good for them. It can easily be demonstra-
ted that If our revenue laws were 90 adjusted
that imports from Great Britain should be
double that 1t would be good for working
men 10 England. But / think it would be
hard to demonstrate that 1t would be good
for the workingmen of America.

A Free Fight or a Free "Ad."


BosToN, August 3.-The mock sword con-
test between Viennese fencers 1t the Bijou
Theater was varied last night by a real duel.
For some months past Mathilde Tagamsnn,
atall, dark Austrian beauty, has been the
favorite s~words-woman of Prof. Hark, Man.
ager, who paid her many compliments. All
this time Anna Brantslo has been jealous OF
her big rival, and last night when the two
came on the stage blood was in the eyes of
both. After parrying . few moments
Brantslo rushed upon her opponent with
great fury. They parted and fought in
anger for ct least fifteen minutes. The
audience rose to their feet and yelled and
cheered the combatants, while several ladies
tainted away. Finally Brantslo forced the
tall favorite to the wings of the theatre, beat
her down upon the floor of the stage and
actually pulled her hair in token Of victory.
Prof. Hark, who came forward to stop the
fight, was assaulted by Brantslo and driven
off the stage. No such sword practice was
ever seen in Boston before. Prof. Hark says
the Brantslo girl has q ungovernable
temper and he must get rid Of her. Taga.
mann feels humiliated over her defeat aud
says nothing.
