Moro Anarchy.

II Ia now apparent that tho seed that was
sown by tho World and It's accomplices in
anarchy Is to spring into a vast harvest Of
crime. The events OF the last twenty-four
hours at Buffalo and other railroad termi-
nails have shown in what fertile soil
the teachings Of the World have
takan root. Men dissatisfied with
their wages. or with the system by
which their labor was enumerated.
have not been content with quitting work:
they have set fire to the property OF their
late employers. hindered as far as they
could tho efforts Of those who sought to
extinguish tho llnmcs. derailod trains
loaded with passengers. and m~urdcrously
and bruinllr assaulted those who sought to
procure employment in their places.
Tho lesson of law and order must be en-
forced in this State and in all others. and
all who ore in revolt against law aud order
must BIO put down. Tho civil authorities
and the militia. will rcpress nrsoi: and
murder and bring the guilty to punish
ment: and public opinion. as is now ai,-
parent in the case of depraved and vicious
newspapers. will deal mcrcilcss!y with that
new crime that has sprung un among us
and which is known as anarchy rorieveaue.

GENTLEMEN: I have your favor OF the 9Th
inst. and have read it with attention and
pleasure. 1t is very gratifying and encour-
aging to me to find that you approve the
ground uron which l have endeavored 10 plase
the Presidential canvass. and that you also
regard tho Force hill us the olo vital and all.
important issue OF the contest. In my opinion
IL is the only question which unites the DemOc-
racy and defeats the Republicans: and II tho
great body OF the Democrats will ndhero to il
steadily. and leave every other point Of contro.
versy in tho com narrative nnlmportance where
all such points now really belong. the success
OF the party may be regarded as well assured.
No labor could I've more grateful or at
~tractive than tho task that you request me to
undertake: but unfortunately for me my pro.
fessional engagements are Just now OF q char
acter unusually imperative. and l could not
attempt the duty you assign without neglect
ing other duties that are more obligatory.
II you will allow me to make n suggestion, I
would propose that the portion OF tho Demo.
cratic campaign which rein,es to the Eorce
bill should be Entrusted to the pen OF Senator
Hill of this State. l know o! no one who can
do 1t better justice than he: and certainly
there is no one whose namc and advice would
be moro influential than his in every house
voters are to he found.

your faithful friend and servant.

There is news from New Haven thaS the
strset-car men there object to working six
teen hours q DAY. They do well to object. A
working day OF sixteen hours Is far too long.
They should not he asked TO work so long.
They ought to be able to make n living Ivy
fewer hours OF work. They cannot enjoy do
nestle lifo. or n proper nights sleep. or have
my time for the periodical relaxation which
every person ought to have. while working
sixteen hours a day. They cannot put in good
work Tor SO many hours Of the day. The man
ayers OF the street-car lines in this city do not
ask their employees to work my such number
OF hours daily. We cannot believe that the
managers of any street-car line in New Haven.
tho proud city OF Yale University. desire TO get
sixteen hours OF daily work out OF their en-
ployces. and we must believe that they will
shorten tho time as soon US the fncts are
brought to their knowledge. We have known
mon In business aud in the professions and in
the literary limo who toiled for sixteen hours
daily. doing work that exhausted both body
ana mind and did not enrich them; hut they
worked far too long for their own good.

THE PLANET MARS.

Theories or T~hecsophica Adopts About II.
To THE EDITOR OF THE uN-Sir Perhaps
it would interest your readers to know what
the adopts. who started the Theosophical So
cioty. through tho late II. T.. Blavatsky. say
about the planet Mars. That globe is SO far
away. SO inaccessible. and our astronomers
differ SO in respect to many important matters.
that tho Theosopists cannot DO blamed for
giving n measure OF credoncc to their own
teachers.
Those latter say that the rod and ominous
Mars is not inhabited Just at this period. It is
a globe which belongs to the same family a.
this earth. and. like the latter. has six COM
panion globes accom- panying it around the
sun. But those companions arc not visible to
ono who might be upon Mars. because they
are OF a different tenuity to his matter. and so
unable to impress the organs OF vision suit
able for Marsian life. Mars was inhabited
many. many years ago by a definite number OF
Egos. who lived as We do in corporeal frames
composed Of the matter peculiar to the planet.
But Just as We say that tho third human race
OF earth disappeared eighteen million years
age. SO our adopts teach that the living. act
ing. intelligent boings Of Mars lett that sphere
some millions OF years since and proceeded TO
another globe perhaps to one OF the six COM
panions Of Mars. where they will carry on fur
ther evolution.
This emigration. being not final. but only
for n deluite period that need not be stated.
has left tho planet or scene Of former action
in n state which TO us is known as obscura-
tion OF a planetary body. during which the
sleeping body. OF the .gloho continues to re.

are not completed. long as 1t is since the

THE BACCALAUREATE.
Rev. George Elliott Delivered Nag.
niflcent Sermon
Yesterday to Very Large and Atten
tive Audience.

Yesterday morning the new com
mencement hall, though not entirely
completed, held an immense audi
ence, which came out to hear the
twenty fifth baccalaureate sermon at
the University.
The morning was most delightful
and espacious hall afforded com
Portable seating room for all. The
invigorating influence OIL the fresh
atmosphere after the gentle showers
Of the night before, as well as the
cleanliness and freshness of the hall
itself, toned up the mind of the APP
preciative audience for the great in
tellectual feast which il received.
Rev. George Elliott, one Of the lead
ing Methodist pastors Of Washing.
ton, held the congregation spell.
bound for three quarters Of an hour
by one Of the most eloquent and inn
pressiye sermons ever delivered at
this place. The whole discourse
abonnded in lofty sentiments, was
clothed in classical English. adorned
with brilliant figures, freighted with
the richest thoughts, and delivered
in the most forcible and impressive
manner. The speaker was evidently
impressed with the dignity Of his
subject and filed with its spirit; and
the congregation freely imbibed the
same feeling.
The earnest exhortation delivered
to the graduating class ito brayely
face the stern conflicts of life, TO
stand firmly by the right, to deport
themselves as men upon whom the
destiny of the race depends. certain.
" would have touched the sensibili-
ties of the most obdufale heart. Ii
was an appeal which, doubtless, will
sound in their ears all through life,
urging them to nobler efforts.
The excellent music rendered BY
the choir was in touch with the spir-
it of the sermon.
