The discovery that ex-senator Blair once
referred to Chinatown in San Francisco as "a
seething, roaring, blood-curdling curse" is
taken by several opposition organs to indicate
that he is unfit to serve as Minister to Pekin.
We can say with confidence that if Brother
Blair had ever referred to this matter in the
more contemptuous vernacular of his own
State, as "a cuss." it would have made no diff
ference at Pekin. The Brother of the Moon
and the Son of Heaven will permit him to
draw his salary without the slightest objection.

A RATHER queer state OF affairs IN New

rounds that Mr.. Jay Gould, by the payment of
a single fine of SlOO secured exemption from

fine of S100 fo- every non-appearance on Mr..

1t would not have been well to say within the
lines of the Eighth ward that Delegate Bren-
mans lust for power would lead him into any
Inconsistency. To-day many of his best friends
scan this card and regretfully admit that they
didn't think he'd do that"
some hostile wag has circulated the story
that suppressed first edition of the candi-
dates tickets were headed:
PATRIZZIo BRENNANO.
This is not true. 1t is vicious invention of
the enemy. Patrick Brennan is "as proud of
that patronymlc as any man might be of his
Peternymic or his Johnonymic." The wags of
the ward are having great fun over his bid for
the Italian vote, but while they laugh Paddy
Brennan enjoys the confidence of the house
holders of the ward who are content to let him
look after their interests at the City Hall. His
good nature and his cards make friends for him
in all languages.

Many notions held by the public generally
concerning cold weather and its effects on the
health are erroneous, according to a writer in
Chambers Journal In discussing the cold
weather of past years he says:
One result of this unusual cold was an in
crease of mortality in January sufficient, along
with the whole tendency of recent statistics, to
dissipate the old idea that mild winter is par
ticularly unhealthy. In London, the rate of
mortality for the week ending with January IS,
1861, had risen to 1923, 5S5 more than the es-
timaied average for the same week. and about
double the number of deaths for week i'll
autumn. This increased mortality was attrib-
uted to the effects of the cold especially on the
respiratory organs: and pulmonary COM
plants, exclusive of phthisis, carried off in one
week 702 persons, whereas the corrected aver
age was only 30l for the corresponding week in
ordinary years. Deaths from bronchitis were
nearly three times the estimated number for
the corresponding period of the year. Apo
plexy increased greatly during the cold weeks;
paralysis increased in a still greater proportion,
and heart diseases, according to the official rec
ord published at the time. were fatal in ll9
cases, Wnlle the usual average was only % Tor
the same period.
In the city the m ortality rose within seven of
the number recorded i'll lS4S during visitation
of the cholera. Among hill sheep there was
great destruction i'll the spring following that
remarkable winter. The total loss to flock
masters in Ettrick Forest alone was estimated
at f40 600. About one-tfth of the old sheep in
that locality perished, and three-fourths of the
lambs, besides deterioration in the constitu-
tion of those left alive Among hill shepherds
1t is still remembered as ''the bad year."

FFCm He 81 Louis GLOBE DsHl0cfdt.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 80, 1888.
"7o tie President Of the United States:
''SR The signer of this, your humble
servant, begs leave of you TO lend an ear
TO the statement of a case of mine against
James Gooch, a clerk in the State De-
partment He came to my store in No
vember 2G, 1881, and got measured for a
snit of clothes, amounting to S6i.50, for
which he promised to pay me in sixty
DAYS; and his having the appearance of a
gentleman, ] took him to be one, and let
him have the articles on those terms.
When the sixty days expired | sent to
him, and he promised further until
eleven or twelve months expired, and,
finding no other way of recovering my
money, ] entered suit against him, for
which received a judgment after he en-
tered the Office, when he took the benefit
of insolvency; and having understood
that your highness had taken the steps
for the benefit of mechanics and other
citizens of this place by removing or
otherwise making the clerks pay their
honest debts, | take this liberty of re-
questing this great favor, and l hope it
will not be in vain, as | have q large
family depending on me for support, and
losing this will rob them of their dues.
Respectfully, your humble and obedIent
servant,
CHRISTIAN e. KLoFF."
To this appeal is appended, in the Presi-
| dents handwriting, this:
Referred to the Secretary of State. If,
on inquiry, the facts stated be true, un-
less the clerk pays up the debt, let him
| be forthwith discharged. The Govern
ment will become party to such
swindling, provided it permits its officers
| to become indebted for necessaries and
| not see that they paid their debts out of
| their salaries. Honest men will pay their
| debts; dishonest must not be employed
| by the Government. Al.
'This case is referred to Amos Kendall
| Esq'r, and on $40 per month being secured
| to Il. Kloff, Mr.. Gooch will be continued
| in his office. A. j."
It is not recorded that the tailor got his
money from Mr.. Gooch, but it is probable
| that he did.

The Rock Creek Property Owners and
the Commissioners.

the Commissioners.
The meeting of the Rock Creek Park
Commission and the property owners at
the District Building yesterday afternoon
was by no means OF satisfactory charac-
ter. Colonel Robert, General Boynton,
Captain Rossell and Mr.. Ross Perry of the
Commission and large number of prop
erty holders and attorneys were present.
The owners were called separately into
Colonel Roberts private room and asked
to name the lowest amount which they
would take for their property, the Com
mission promising to give it proper at
tention. This manner of conducting the
meeting aroused the indignation Of some
of the owners and attorneys, and de-
mand was made that the examinations be
made publicly. Mr.. Ross Perry on be-
half of the Commission, declined to deal
with the property owners in mass-meet-
ing, whereupon several attorneys and
their clients Indignantly withdrew.
Mr.. Il. A. Lambert, representing num-
ber of owners, addressed letter to the
Commission, in which he said that the
offers were in every instance below the
market value of the property and the
owners therefore felt compelled to decline
them without reservation.
The amount appropriated for the pur-
chase of the park is 81 100000, and Captain
Rossell says that if the demands of the
owners were complied with il would take
$4,000, 900 to buy the land.
The prices offered by the Commission
ranged from 5000 to $500 per acre, the
average price being about 1926 per acre.
But little progress was made by the
Commission in their negotiation, and il is
the general opinion that the values will
have to be awarded by condemnation.

From tie Epoch.


In Paris peoplear not huddled together
like hogs in public conveyances, as
they are in the great city of New York.
Our regular correspondent in the capital
Of France tells us on another page of this
issue of "The Epoch that:
Nearly million persons move about
Paris every day, and more than half of
them use the omnibuses. Il X = In
Paris there is no hanging on by the eye
lids in omnibuses aud horse cars. As
soon as the places are all taken, the word
complet is conspicuously displayed, and
intending passengers know that it will be
useless to try to get on"
After time, when the people rise in
their might here, every person, in what
ever station of life, will have seat in the
holse'car, in the stage or in the "Eleya-
ted" There is no reason why ANYBODY
should be compelled to stand up, and far
less for the indecent packing in Of passen-
gers like sardines. If the people want
seats, they have only to say so and make
their influence felt, for, in this country,
nothing can Withstand the will Of the
people.
