The skill displayed by the Chinese in
carving ivory balls within each other,
has excited the wonder and admiration
of Europeans. Nothing can afford a
greater proof of patience and perseyer-


ance, as well as of the taste OF a Chi
nese handicraftsman, than one of these
elegant baubles, each ball being exquls-
itely carved, and no two alike in pat
tern. Each of these balls rolls freely
within that which incloses it, and Is
visible through apertures; so that,
however many there may be, the beau
ties Of each can be examined, and the
number of the whole counted. Much
time is spent upon the carving of these
toys; for the cleverest artist will en-
ploy whole month in the execution of
each separate ball; consequently the
labor OF two years is not infrequently
bestowed on the production of single
toy, which is formed out of a single
globe of ivory, and has no junction in
any part The outside of this globe is
first carved in some very open pattern


and is then carefully cut with fine


sharp instrument through the openings


until complete coating is detached
from the solid part inside, as the pee
of an orange might be loosened with q
scoop from the fruit without beine
taken off. One hollow ball is thus
formed, with a solid one inside of it
The surface Of the inner ball is ther
carved through the interstices of the
outer one, and, when finished, is sub


jected to the same operation as tn,

produced, still with solid one O

And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in splendOr on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter

We shall know each other better

We shall know as we are known,


Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
If we err in human blindness


And forget that we are dust.
If we miss the law of kindness


When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our way,
When the weary watch is over,


And the mists have cleared away.


We shall know as we are known,


Never more to walk alone.
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have veiled lis

Floats the golden fringe Of day;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,

A Western physician-as we with
hold his name in cannot be said that
this is a free advertisement for him
has made public remedy for con.
sumption that is said to have been
tried with very excellent results.
This is the prescription:


One-halc pound flnely-eut-up beefsteak
(resh);


One drochm pulverized charcoal;


-Four ounces pulverined sugar;


Four ounces rye whiskey;


one pint boiling water.


Mix an together, let it stand in a cool place
over night and give from one to two teaspoon
uls liquid and meat-beforc each meal.


The theory Of the above is that
food containing large amount of
carbon produces the best effect on
consumption sufferers. That is an
acknowledged axiom in the medical
profession. The virtues of remedies
are in proportion to the amount of
carbon that can be infused into the
system to feed the consuming flame
that wastes the body. The internal
fever burns up the carbon in the sys-
tenn faster than the food eaten can
replace it. TheIdisease then preys on
the fatty substance Of the body and
destroys the lungs, and eventually
the life. The prescription spoken of
has at least the merit of simplicity,
and can do no harm,

What must be the judgment of an
intelligent public as to the integrity
and reliability of journals which
claim TO be Oracles Of truth and ell
lightened opinion, when every public
offpnse against decency and decorum
can be explained into silence in the
face of notorious facts? The testi-
mOny ofall, members and cOrrespon-
dents, is concurrent that the closing
scenes Of the last session of Congress
We're disgraceful to a degree never
before witnessed in Washington.
The general picture of the national
shame has been faithfully presented
by the public press, and criticised as
it deserved, but the intelligent reader
has been taught the profoundest con-
tempt for the integrity Of many pro-
fessedly reputable newspapers by
their willing prostitution of their
columns to the Individual vindica-
tion Of some Of the most guilty of the
offenders. And it has been done
with the fullest knowledge that the
representative who have been al
lowed to manufacture and publish
specious denials without question,
were guilty of every offence imputed
to them, and, in most cases, had been
guilty on previous occasions without
having been publicly called to ac-
count for it. In not less than half a
dozen instances during the late
session of Congress, members Offend
ed against common decency when in
the discharge Of responsible public
duties ; and it is a lasting stain upon
the public press that, in every case,
the offender has been allowed to
| manufacture specious denial for his
own constituents, and gain publicity
for it in respectable journals with the
approval Of silence. Even the Acklen
disgrace has been transtormel by
Washington newspapers experts into
"a a.
every Congressman who displayed
the beastlinesS of the drunkard be-
fore the gaze Of the country has been
certified to his people as blameless
and injured man. 1t is just such
yielding to the opportunities of those
who have disgraced themselves and
the nation that has made a large
portion Of the public press contemp-
tible, and the only compensation is
widened disrespect for newspapers,
for intelligent public opinion is not
shanged by such servility to those
who have stained themselves and
their high offices by the freaks of the
bIackguard. Until the public press
and good citizens call public repre-
sentatives to strict accountability for
such offenses, it is idle to complain
of the degeneracy of our Legislators
and our legislation, and never was
there a more imperative demand
made upon all for a new departure in
the selection of representatives for
State and nation than now.-PbHd-

might have remained closed, and the
country have escaped the long train
of similar aggressions which aggran-
died one section and impoverished
the other, and, adding insult to in
jury, finally destroyed the fraternity
which had bound them together.


How or when a restoration of the
Government to the principles and
practices of its earlier period may be
accomplished is not given to us to
foresee. For me it remains only
earnestly to hope and hope, fully to
believe, though may not see it, that

New YORK, May 1.-The arrival of the
steamer Cambria on the coast of Maine,
with large company ofVffcers and sea-
men of the Imperial Russian Navy, when
considered with the rumored preparations
of war cruisers for the destruction of British
commerce on the high seas, is an event of
uncommon interest.


Whether this detachment represents an
advance guard of large force which we
have been repeatedly informed is to man
steamers to be purchased and equipped in
American waters by the Russian Govern
ment, or is merely party sent out to create
scare and thus influence British diplomacy,
is not yet known. According to the terms
of the treaty of Washington we can not per.
nit our harbors to be made the basis OF
operation against Great Britain, but there
is nothing to prevent Russians or any other
prospective belligerents from sending un-
armed bodies of men to this country, even
for ultcrior purposes. as long as state of
peace exists.

The crime record is heavy one to-day.
The shooting of James p Deering by George
Foster Howell is one of the most cowardly,
committed. Mr.. Deering had been guilty
of no offence toward his dastardly assailant,
and was unconscious that he had IN enemy
in the world. BY gross misconduct Howell
had forfeited the situation he held as clerk
in his brothers Office on Pine street,
This incensed Howell. and his feelings
were further irritated in consequence
of having been turned out of his brothers
house because of his dissipated habits.
Yesterday he saw Deering walking on Full
ton street, walked up close to him from be-
hind and shot him through the back. Both
are young men but little over twenty years
of age. Deering piteously begged to be
taken home ut once to his mother, and the
scene when the two young men were
brought face to face was very dis
tressing, Howell apparently regretting
then his murderous act. Equally brutal
and unprovoked was tho murderous
assault made by a Brooklyn saloon keeper
on man who owed him q small amount of
money. The savage ruffian followed the
man into shoemakers cellar under his sa-
loon, and, after few words, seized ham,
mer and dealt him two heavy blows on the
head, each blow driving in the skull A
third case is that of police detective, who,
under the influence of liquor. attempted
to shoot citizen in the streets,
and, being disarmed and arrested,
broke loose and stabbed him in the
hand on tho way to the station house. The
result of this case is noteworthy. The de-
tectivc was taken before Police Justice
Smith, and there being no complaint
against him he was discharged. Some con-
siderntion ought to be shown by police
justices to the public safety, and it is their
duty in such an outrageous assault 10 COM
pei a prosecution. especially when the
offender is IN officer whose business IL is TO
protect the public peace. At all events the
matter claims the prompt attention Of the
Police Commissioners.

It has often been remarked in Washing
ton that the Indians are never so threaten
ing as about the time when the Army
Appropriation bill is before Congress. 1t
used to be said that the Cuban insurgents
were always on the point of driving out the
Spaniards just when General Grant was
preparing his Annual Message. Since
President Hayes accession the Mexican
border troubles seem to increase = in the
newspapers-as soon as Congress adjourns.


All this means, of course, only that
spectators and adventures know how to
choose the most suitable times for their
operations, and those restless or acquisitive
persons who think they have something to
gain from war with Mexico, but who have
discovered that Congress will not help
them, prudently wait until the adjourn
ment before propagating rumors Of new
and serious border troubles. Fortunately
for the country the present administration
is not believed to be Of an adventurous
turn, and General Ord, who commands on
the Rio Grande, has shown himself to be
the right man for the place-skiltul, good
tempered, sensible and determined to keep
the peace.

Regattas and murders are the staple of
the news--the recreations and distractions
of the day. How to come out first in the
four-oared race, and how to make way with
the man whose life you have insured Tor n
handsome sum; how to distance your
opponents in the pair, and how most ex-
peditiously to settle scores with your wife
and your unsatisfactory mother-in-law-
these are the themes that occupy the mind
of not inconsiderable portion of the
public. Buckbee shoots his wife and his
mother-in-law and then serves himself
with sauce from the same revolver, by way

up in court and faces the music like n SOL
dier. Poor Mrs. Wertheimer gets rid Of the
awful weather in the Hudson River, and
Hunter, Hubbard and hundred others give
way to their impulses with more or less
discretion and free themselves from bur-
dens, embarrassments and dangers of one
sort only to fall into troubles front which
extrication may prove more difficult. In all
the murders now on the calendar it is OBJ
vious that the people are too terribly
serious. They are taking life too much in
earnest They are losing the capacity to
enjoy themselves, and they are killing one
another about troubles that might be for
gotten at picnic. They ought to go to the
boat races they may feel bad when they
come home, and desperately bored, but
there is no hanging in it, and if they are
inclined to kill any one they can exhaust
their energies on the bad rowers.

It is unfortunate that the four young
street Arabs, who were charged with plac-
ing an obstruction on the track of the New
should have escaped punishment. There
seems to have been little disposition on the
part of the prosecution to press The case as
it ought to have been pressed. The counsel
for the prisoners, by shrewdly demanding n
separate trial for the youngest of the offen-
ders, boy only nine years of age, secured
for him the sympathy Of the jury, who wero
naturally indisposed to convict mere child
of criminal offence. There can be little
doubt that their verdict would have been
different if the prisoner had been of
ripper age. The evidence of the lad
was that the prisoner and his other COM
panions had invited him to ''como up and
have some fun on the track" "Lct's make
the cars jump" was the expression used by
the young ruflians. They had been accus-
toned to amuse themselves with the inter-
esting operation of "squatting" on the
track until train approached, and then
dropping beneath and hanging on by their
arms while it swept by. Their object
doubtless was to enjoy the jarring sensation
occasioned by the passage of the trains
over their heads, and as only their own
lives were endangered by the gymnastic
feat it was not Of much consequence On
the night when the offence was COM
mitted, however, they had resolved
to enlarge their sphere of operation.
They intended to make the ''cars
jump" When they got on the track tho
witness found ON old pair of drawers, and
examined them. Nothing was in them,
and he threw them away. They were
then picked up by the youngest lad, and by
him placed on another tie. When the train
passed it did Jump" narrowly escaping a
fearful leap from the track to the road be-
low, and then it was discovered that the
drawers had stone wrapped up in them.
It is evident that the stone would have
been seen by the witness il it had been
there when he examined tho drawers, an d
as no one but the prisoner subsequently
handled the drawers he must necessarily
have put the stone in them. Yet the jury
returned verdict of acquittal.


No one likes to punish children, although
the city would be better without such pre-
cocious specimens of ruflianism. But as
the fun these boys INDUCED in might have
caused number Of deaths and widespread
misery the public safety demanded that
their offence, which can be easily repeated,
should be checked at once by severe SEN
tence. The verdict Of acquittal was dis
graceful. 1t is true Judge Sutherland gave
the prisonera "wholesome warning" which
he received no doubt with his thumb
Hguratively at the end Of his nose. But
