LOUIH is waiting for Jny Gould to onpiniza a center of low depression for that city. GUITEAIT'S confession is of little value except as it establishes his entire Sanity. THE "Duke of Albany" lias boon very effectually dotitleil. MILLKU Jielp'od do it. NmmABKA is preparing to acknowl edge tlio com , and a good largo crop in tlio bargain.

IT is suggested tliat tlio tinio for or ganizing Arctic search expeditions is at just this time of tlio year. Volun teers would bo plenty. I THE editorial contest was one of the most interesting ovontsof the Now York archery tourramcnt. Ntny York editors arc noted for ' 'drawing the long bow. " EVHN the heat cannot wilt the met ropolitan airs which Omaha is putting on. The sound of the trowel and hammer is heard on nearly every street in our city. THAT hitch in the street sprinkling ! l contract may bo amusing to the parlies immediately concerned , but it ia working great injury to the best interests of the city. Nuw YOIIK papers are calling atten tion to the remarkable increase in the use of morphine. It is said that the persons addicted to this habit are numbered by the hundreds of thou sands. THE railroad organs are warning the farmers against participating in poli tics. So long as the alliance talks stock and crops , and fails to act for their own interest , the corporations have little to fear. Mn. BOOKWALTEII , tlio democratic nominee for governor of Ohio consid ers the nomination worth just 820- 000. According to the Now York Times that is the amount which ho expended - ponded for the empty honor. TUB dttngor of carrying deadly weapons lias been vividly brought Tjeforo tlio country by the attack upon * th president. In Philadelphia Mayor 3Cing is enforcing strictly the law Against carrying concealed weapons , and tlio press is upholding him in his action. FEW realize the drain on our pub- 3io revenue occasioned in years past by the payment of interest on the na- lional debt. Since 1805 $1,7U-13D ( , , . 000 have been expended in interest . ' alone , while $758,057,1195 ot prinojpai lias been wiped out , Tlio pres ent interest-bearing debt of the country is $1,022,872,000. Wo have " ypaid at the rate of over § 108,000,000 , * per annum. The debt per capita in 28C5 was § 78.25 , and the amount of t interest to bo paM per capita per mi- 9 mini is $1.29. Now the debt per cap- iUi h 837.7-1 and the annual interest to bo paid per capita is 81,00. MANY of the loading journals of the country are earnestly protesting against the presidential fund. Siys the Boston Journal ; This whole business of presidential gifts , -whether us regards the Grant fund or the ( Jarflold subscription , wo do not like , It invests the railroad Id up and other moneyed magnates with a Und of inlluonco which > vo can not regard with favor. If it over ! comes to the time that the American nation ia content to leave the pay- inei-t of its debts of grat'tudo to bo made out of the ostentatious largess of a few wealthy men , it will bo a . .melancholy day for the national pros- .porlty and the national pride , BODY GUARDS AND STAND ING ARMIES. Rev. Mr. Shorrill shoots wide of th mark in his instructive scnnon o "Garfield" when ho urges as n neccs snry reform a president's body guan and a largo standing army. Thor may bo a divinity to hedge in king but no body guard has over been abl to protect them against the assassin' bullet or conspirator's bomb , Th emperor of Germany is alway surrounded by a body guan and the public thoroughfare and promenades which ho frequent are always guarded by vigilant po liccmcii ) but tli.it did not prevun Hocdel from firing a volley of buck shot in broad daylight at Kaisc Wilhclm. Thc.lato emperor of Ilus sia was never without n body guar and a whole army of picked policemor patrolled St. Petersburg night am day , hut that did not nave him fron the exploding bomb , thrown by the nihilists. It would bo utterly itn possible for a president to guard hu person against assassins. If they did not shoot him down in a theatre , or in a railway depot they woulc murder him in church or in the White House. Tliero is no way of forestall ing nn assassin if ho is determined cunning and reckless of his own life An upright , bravo president like Garfield , will move about in his patl ol duty without fear , unattended ant unarmed , with just as much safety am a good deal more comfort than if hi were surrounded by n regiment o cavalry , supported by a park of artillery lory and a monitor on wheels. During the Pittsburg riot of 1877 , Jay Gould wanted a standing army ol a million ot men , with General Grant at their head , but wo doubt vorj much whether oven Jay Gould wouli now faror a largo standing army. In a country where every able-bodied man is liable to military duty in defense of law and order , a regular nrmyis entirely unnecessary , except tor police duty among Indians and on the border. Rev. Mr. Shorrill labors under the impression that our ivholo standing army of 25,000 men could not put down a great riot in Now York city. Mr. Sherrill forgets Lhat this country docs not depend en tirely on a standing anny for the main tenance of order. At the inaugura tion of President Garfield more than 20,000 volunteer soldiers marched in the procession , Pennsylvania alone furnished 12,000 of them , fully urmcd and equipped for active duty. As an eye-witness the editor of THE BEE can assert , without fear of con tradiction , that those troops would liavo compared favorably with the crack regiments that followed Grant , Sherman and Sheridan during the ivar. In a country where the ballot box and cartridge box go hand in hand largo standing armies are un necessary. To maintain an army of drones at the expense of the workers af this country voulcl end in inoimr- 3hy. The only standing army the \morican people should enlarge is the irmy of schoolmasters. THE danger of anarchy through ni- lilism , communism and socialism , vhich Mr. Shorrill so much dreads , is niroly imaginary. As long as America lupplica every man , woman and child vith bread and meat earned by well mid labor , there is no danger of ) loody revolution by nihilists or com- nunists. PENSION FRAUDS. There is no doubt that the govern- nont is systematically swindled out > f hundreds of thousands of dollars umually by the frauds of pension igonts and bogus claimants. Under pho present method of making up jvidonco to sustain applications for pensions , thogatos are thrown open for .ho most flagrant violations of the law. I'ho irovornmont haa no opportunity .o examine the evidence pro- lonted. The attorney for the ilaimant finds out just what ; ostimony is needed to push through ho claim and proceeds to got it. Any njury from across eye to an attack of heumatism ia suflicient for the baais > f a claim , and if the party assorts hat auoh disability waa contracted in he service and can get a doctor and wo other individuals to back up his tatomont ho gets upon the pension oils for life. There may bo any lumber of people who are perfectly .waro that ho loft the army i sound man , but the gov- irnmont has no moans of earning this fact , or of summoning horn aa witnesses. Under a grossly lofeotive law , unscrupulous claim ionts ; are growing fat , and equally ilishonost claimants are drawing ilrafta from the treasury to which they are not entitled , while thousands of Boldiers who are really deserving of aid , but are too honest to make use of disreputable menus , lind their claims thrown out ut Washington to make way for men who never smelled powder in the army. Under Una unhealthy stimulus the pension list is growing to alarming di mensions , Two thousand now appli cations are filed monthly and no fewer than 200,000 new cases have been filed at the pension ollico during the past t\vo years under the arrearage of the poimion act. Enough men within that period have marched up to the treasury to make two hundred full regiments aud un- othtr regiment is added each month to the list. It is sincerely t < bo hoped that the change in the pen ftion oflico will not result in the aban donmcnt of the measure urged upot congress by ox-Commissiono Bcntley. This bill for tin appointment of district agent to examine claimants near their owi homes , nnd to t.iko the testimony o neighbors familiar with their history The measure was bitterly assailed tin Washington claim agents , becaus its passage would have seriously cur tailed their business. Some hostility was stirred up by those claim shark among the soldier element , by mean of lying circulars , intended to awakoi prejudice against the bill , and tin commissioner , but a document prepared pared in the pension oflico , giviiij the facts as to the effects of the bil nnd explaining the need of its passage sago , entirely changed the current o feeling. All honest pensioner ! and nil honest claimants sav that something "must bi one to protect the pcnsioi rolls from being Hooded with Login invalids and to preserve the pcnsioi system from becoming unpopular bj reason of the enormous and unjus burdens such fraudulent claims placi upon the tax-payers. If the now commissioner knows hii duty ho will use every effort to pusli to its passage the wise measure of hit predorcssor , a measure which will al once protect the interests of the gov eminent nnd those of the nation's do fenders. THE growth of the feoiing in favoi of the loaialativo regulation of corpor ations must bo no less surprising k the monopolies , than it is gratifying to the pooplo. The sentiment ie spreading among the mercantile and financial classes , as much aa among the laboring nnd agricultural com munities. Eight years ago , when THE BEE first raised ita protest against the exorbitant exactions of western railroads , it stood alone among the great dailies of the west. The monopoly question was discussed only by the fanners , and that small circle of merchants who had suffered Erom railroad exactions. Now the issue is discussed in every city , town and village in the country. The press , the pulpit , tlio platform , all are commenting upon the subject so vital to the interests of the nation. Boards of trade and transportation are urging the importance of the question upon , hc mercantile interests nnd the form ers have banded together in their al- ianccs to present a united front to nonopoly aggression. The issue bo- , wcen the corporations nnd the peo- ) lo ia clearly defined. Producers are letcrmincd that corporations , like in- lividuals , must bo kept within proper jounds or made to fool the force of awa enacted for the protection of so ciety. Tin : stranger who , eighteen months ago , sauntered up and down Ilarney treot , would find it hard work to-day o realize that ho was traversing the amo section of Omaha. A now life a infusing itself into the street , vhicl-i is rapidly making it the whole- ale center of the city. Beginning vith Stophonson's superb stables , a tructuro of which every citizen is carcoly leas proud than its owner , and extending to Fourteenth trcot , nro a mass of build ups , either erected or in ourso of construction that would bo a rodit to any city , The Mjllard block , lor's now building , both in course of ( instruction of completion , Broatch's milJing and the establishment of iteolo & Johnson are models of solid- ky and ornaments to the street. Tlio vholcsalera of Omaha scorn to bo tuni ng their attention especially to liar- ley street , which by its nearness to both the centers of transportation and o the retail business portion of the ity , makes it pouliarly fitted for the inudling of heavy goods. Pivo years lenco Hnrnoy street is likely to rival rarnain street in tlo | number and hnracter of huilipgs. HAILIIOAI ) building in lown is pio- vessing with wonderful rapidity , low M. \VoodrufT , one of the rail- oad commissioners of the state ; says Imt more miles of railroad are being onstructed than in any rovious year , mmigration is konping pace with the nilroad development , especially in orthwestorn Iowa. Says Mr. Wood- uff ; "Never , since 185(5 ( , has Iowa , vitncssod such an intlux of emigrants , fully thirty percent , of the emigrants n the Milwaukee and St. Paul lands , mounting to probably 5jO,000 people re actual Bottlers , and the lands uwnod Ly them nro largely under cul- ivntion. This is duo to the excellent mlioy pursued by the Milwaukee and U. Paul officials in granting to the mrchasor n rebate for breaking land luring the first year , of from 82 to 12,50 , making the first cost of the and to the settlers nominal. The settlers going to Iowa are , largely , naive - ivo Americans , while the majority of broignors Booking lands settle upon ho homestead or pre-emption lands of Dakota. " Elbridgo Q.Lnpham. Elbridge G. Laphnm , the nominee > f the Republican caucus for the sent n the United States sonata made > 'acant by the resignation Roscoe 2onkling , is the son of the late Judge John Lnpham , and. was born in Fnrmington , N.

Douglas , and also studied civil en gineering. After spending soim time in work upon the line of tin Michigan Southern Railroad , Mr Lapham studied law , and in 1844 hi was admitted to the bar. Ho settlec nt Cannndaigua , where hu has sine , practised law. Soon after his ndmis sion to the bar Mr. Laphnm formed i partnership with Judge James 0 Smith , which continued until the hitter tor was raised to the bench. Mr Lapham was n member of the Consti tutional Convention of 1807 , an dyot ed for the adoption of the conptitution In 1874 he was elected as n republi can to thoXLlVth congress , nnd hi has since Leon elected from the snini district ( the XXVllth ) by largo majorities joritios to the XLVth , XLVIth anc XLVIIth Congresses. Mr , Laphnn acted with the democracy until 1847 but ho supported the Wilmot Provisii nnd the van Huron ticket in thn ( year , and was n delegate to the Buffa lo convention. As n republican hi : zeal and nbilitics have long been re cognized. Wnraor Miller. Warner Miller , who has been nonii nated by the republican caucus to sue ceod ox-Senator Thomas 0.

After leaving college lego ho bcean teaching in the Forl Edward Collegoiato Institute , bul when the war broke out ho enlisted at n privnto in the 5th Now York cavalry , Ho served in the Shcnandoah Valloj with distinction , and was promoted tt bo Borgeant-mnjor nnd lieutenant. Al the battle of Winchester ho was taken prisoner , and remained in captivitj till the close of the war. Mr. Millet then made a trip to Europe , but soon roturncd nnd established himself in the paper manufacturing business in Horkimor county , and a few years age ho erected a mill at Lynsdalc , Lewis county , for the manufacture of pulp and paper. Mr. Miller made his first appearance in public life in 1873 , when ho was elected to the assembly as a republican from Hcrkimcr county. Ho was elected in 1874. During his two years in the assembly ho was an influential member. In 1878 ho waa olrctod to the XLVItli congress from the XXIId district , and in 1880 he was elected to the XLVIIth congress. In addition to his largo manufactur ing interests , Mr. Miller owns n fine farm in Harkimer county , which lie manages himself , and nil efforts for the promotion of the interests of agri culture nnd agricultural laborers find in him a warm and generous supporter. MRS LINCOLN'S HALLUCINA TION. Tlio Trno Condition of the Wife of tlio Martyred President Her Illness Has Boon Magnified. A Springfield dispatch to the Chicago cage News says : Of late the newspa pers of the country have contained an ilmost countless number of paragraphs relative to the serious illness of Mrs. Lincoln , the widow of the martyred president. These have not originated ivith the nownpapor correspondents of Springfield , who have been familiar with the true condition of affaire , but liavo originated from outside and irre sponsible sources. Inasmuch , how ever , as they have done no harm , and liavo gratified no one more than Mrs. Lincoln herself , they have been al- owed to pass uncontradictcd , and : iavo been repeated in an endless va riety of forms by all the nowspaners of the country , except these of Spring field. field.Ever Ever since the tragic death of the lamented president Mrs. Lincoln has been the object of an affectionate nterest and concern of the entire na- : ion. This has boon abundantly at- ; cstod by the eagerness with which ; ho slightest bit of information con cerning her has boon received , and in nany other ways unnecessary to men- lion. The paragraphs recently dis- ; ributed so wildly , representing her ; o boat the point of death , have great- y increased the popular anxiety for further particulars , and it is perhaps iropor that the Morning News should low state her oxaet condition something - thing that lias not yet been done by any newspaper. Mrs. Lincoln came to Springfield ' on November 3 , 1880 , and has 'since nado her homo at tlio residence of , ho Hon. Ninian Edwards , whoso wife s her sister , whore she has been ten derly cared for. The most notable 'eaturo of her arrival was fie extra ordinary amount of baggage which she brought with lier. This consisted of over sixty trunks which , according o the railway ollicials , weighed over > ,000 pounds. In thcso trunks is contained a remarkable collection of ordinary possessions of the most mis cellaneous kind , comprising' nearly ivory thing in the shape of clothing , rinkots etc. , that she yhus accumulated since childhood , all ) f which she treasures with foalous caro. Mrs. Lincoln has NEVEIl IlKCOVEIUSI ) FKOil THE 8IIOCK iauscd by the assassination. It lias icon well known to the public that ilrs. Lincoln has never fully recovered roiu the terrible shock , shared with lor by the country , occasioned by the atal bullet of Wilkcs Booth. Under uch trying circumstances aa these she hen encountered , it would not have ) con surprising if her mind had been hattercd and reason had lost its sway , fortunately , however , this result was nvoided ; but the effects of that terribje > rdcal have since been manifested in he development of certain jicculiari- ies and eccentricities , which , while hey have been mainly of a perfectly lurwlcss character , have been the ourco of great anxiety and constant rouble to her immediate friends , > mce coming to Springfield it has > eon Mrs , Lincoln's pleasure to con- aider herself ill n confirmed invalid , vuh the slightest chance of recovery. About a month after her arrival aho shut herself up in her oem , professing to bo unable oven o go down stairs. And there she cnmined persistently from lastChrist- nas until Wednesday of this week. I'lui burden of her conversation was about her sufferings. No one could ive a week nnd suffer the pains which she described us alllicting her. She constantly complained of severe pains n her back nnd limbs. Her most requent expressions were that she was "on fire , " and that she felt n though she was being "cut to piece by knives. " Many times ft day wouh she reiterate the statement that sin did not expect to live another day Her greatest grntificntion was to rea < the newspaper statements that sh < was lying nt the point of death. Thesi were carefully collected for her edifica tion , and she seemed to desire tlm the news should bo circulated as wide ly as possible. This desire has cer tainly been gratified to the fullest ex tent by the press of the country , am it was on Mrs. Lincoln's account tha the statements wcro not sooner cor rcctcd , AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF BAGdAdE. While undergoing the sclf-imposcc imprisonment already described , Mrs Lincoln often spent the mornings ii looking through her immense collcc tion of trunVs , occasionally fishing out spmo dilapidated garment am " mending it carefully. "She received but few visitors and scorned to care but little for reading anything excopl the newspaper paragraphs nlrcauj mentioned. She is constantly in re ccipt of n Inrge correspondence , largelj from autograph hunters , though i number of friends write to her rogU' larly. These letters she soldon : answers , na she docs not like to write , but occasionally she requests some of the famil ) to answer them for her. All hci business affairs are transacted by Mr , Jacob Bunn. In the afternoon it has been Mrs. Lincoln's habit to darken her room as much as possible. She has declined to use gas , except when visitors called , and has preferred to obtain what light she needed from ordinary candles , or from fapcn floating in water. _ During the winter , at her dt'sirp , sisters from the hospital remained with her through the nmht. During all these imaginary troubles Mrs. Lincoln's appetite has been good , but she has insisted that she has al was boen.'n good eater ; that her condition cannot bo judged by her appetite , and that her disease is of n nature that requires her to consume a ijreat deal of food. EATS AND SLEEPS WELL. Through all these months she had always slept well , and a great deal , though she has strenuously insisted that she has not. Recently she sent for her physician , and said that she wanted to sleep ; that she had Imrdly slept all winter. She wanted some thing to mpko her sleep , but diel not want anything that had an opiate in it. The doctor complied with her re quest , and she slept nearly all the time lor three days , being very drowsy during the short intervals when she was nwako. Since then she has com plained of feolincr bettor. For some : imo the doctor has advised her to take a drive as soon ns she was able to ; ot out After setting several days ror making tha attempt , she felt enough better after her long sleep to ; o , and not only took a drive on Wed- icsday of this week , but wants to soon take another. Mrs. Lincoln islet lot really sick She does suffer rom a slight trouble , causing this lysterical condition , and of course her jcneral health has not been improved jy her six months' confinement to her oem and her general mode of life. 3ut her sufferings are almost wholly imaginary , and she may at any time conclude that she has recovered. Ail ) f her fancies and whims are indulged ; o the fullest extent by her friends , uid this may bo said to comprise the whole course of treatment adopted. It will bo seen from the facts herewith given that there is nothing in the con dition of this lady , who occupies such a peculiarly prominent place in the in- ; erest and affections of the people of the United States , to give ground for especial anxiety as to her health and well-being. While it is not reasonable 10 expect that she will live a great nany years longer , being now about sixty , there is at present no reason why she should not live out the full neaauro of the years allotted to wo- nen ; and that her remaining days may jo days of peace , contentment and reedom from suffering , will certainly by the earnest desire of the nation. Temperature and Respiration- Washington Correspondence to the New York Star. The average temperature or natural ipat of the human body in good con dition of health is 08i degrees (98.5 ( Fahrenheit. ) The 98th degree is narked on the thermometers as blood icat. Cases are on record in which ho tomporatnro rose to 108 in chil dren and 107 in adults , but 105 is re garded ns almost certain death , and 01 as extremely dangerous. Raying rollow fever patients are said rarely o go above 100. The president's empornture haa boon as low as 98.9 , only four-tenths of a degree Above lormal. Last night it reached the lighest point , 102,8 , The surgeons scribed this unusual rise ( it had not iroviously been going above 101 and ractions ) to the excitement of the pa- iont produced by + ho hammering and other noises and stirs that are necessa ry to the introduction of pipes for omprcsscd air , The president's respiration has va ried from 10 to 24. In health , when ntircly free from any exciting influ- nee , the natural respiration of an adult is from 14 to 20 , but in cases of icknoss and of wounds it has boon re- orded as low as 7 and as high as 100 > er minute Thus it will bo scon that vhilo thudo outward indications in the iresidont's case mark him aa a very lick man , they are not such as to war rant the theory that the doctors are , nialeading the people about his general - oral or particular symptoms. Very Old Rum , Indeed- Voshtnpton Coircsx | > ndencc to the New York Herald. Colonel Rockwell , who came out rom the sick room a moment , in ro- ponse to an inquiry said ; "Tho president is doing splendidly , lo had a very good day , restful and liiiot. Ho haa not talked very much , When his wound was dressed there vds quite a largo discharge of healthy ) iis. This morning wo gave him a iicco of milk toast and then some milk vith just a dash of old rum in it. " ' Is that rum as old as it is claimed o bo ? " "I have every reason to believe that t is. It was sent hew by Sam Ward , rho enjoyed an intimate friendship with the president when ho was in congress , and ho wrote nib a letter tating that the rum had been present ed to him by the Earl of Lounsborry I think that was the name. The earl had told him that it was sent to England from Jamaica in 1791 , and i ia not probable that it WAS much of a infant then , so that it is safe to sa ; that it is one hundred years old. 1 came in a quaint , old-fashioned bottl at any rate. It is splendid liquor whatever , ago it may bo , if I nm nn ; judge of the bouquet. " THE GREAT EASTERN. A Rumor that Jay Gonld Will Bu ; . . , , , , the Mounter. . Now York Sun. Uncle Rufus Hatch was mopping hi brow in an East Side elevated trail the other day , and was asked whethc there was anything now in the mar kot. "Nothing , " ho replied , "oxcep that there was an Englishman in ti see mo to-day who wanted- sell tin Great Eastern " "Do you think that you could fine a purchaser ? " was asked. "Certainly , " Uncle Rufus answered "Jny Gould would buy her sure She requires a grcnt deal of wntc ; and that's just in his lino. Ho cai float anything. He'd float the bigges iron anchor in existence. " "You forcgot , " wo observed , "tha ho doesn't ' run to yachts like hii former partners. Charley Osboni , Bil Boldon and Hnnk Smith. Whnl would ho do with the Great Eastern ? ' "All that may bo so. " Uncle Rn fus nssevcratod , "but. like the boj nfter the chipmunk , ho s g ot to have her. He's got nil the big railroads , telegraph lines , elevators and blnnkol newspapers , nnd ho must ndd the Great Eastern to them to complete his assortment. What would liii junk shop bo wejrth without her He's going to lay his cable to Mexico and shos just the boat for the business. Then the World ought tc have her for a dispatch boat. The Herald's yacht is played out , and il would bo a big advertisement for him to have the Great Eastern steaming down to Sandy Hook and hoarding ] incoming steamers for marine newt for the World. Oh , I tell you Gould's got to have hor. Bennett's tub will stand no chance with her. How she'll raise the circulation. Then there's Wash McCorckindalo , who writes Gould's Wall street gossip. He's got to bo provided for. Such a liugh nautical toy would bo just the thing to please liim. Besides , Goulel jan't nflbrd to show any partiality il lie buys Great Northern and Western Union , and Northwestern and South ern extension , ho must have n Great Eastern. While ho's boxing the coin- pas ho can't afford to slight any one of its cardinal points. He'll take her , " sure pop , "But how can she trade between Pier 1 and Sandy Hook , and float the American flag , when she's an English bottom ? " Wonsked. Uncle Rufus again mopped his jrpw. "Oh , that'n cosy to fix , " ho said. "A man who can consolidate ill the telegraph and railroad lines , md control all the newspapers in the United States , can put down one flag ind put up another any time ho ihooses. Blame's congress and Stan- ey Matthows's supreme court would jack him in anything. " "Why , Uncle Rufus , you seem to jo down on Mr. Gould. " "Oh , no , the sago responded. You're mistaken , On the contrary , [ admire talent .Mid enterprise , especi ally when exercised for the benefit of ; ho masses as against the few. They enlarge and develop the brain ami the country , and reflect a lustre on tlio inancial ago in which wo live.1 "So you really think that Jay Gould will buy the Great Eastoni ? " "Buy her , " Uncle Rufus repeated. "Of course Jio will. Why , ho can make a receiving ship of her. " "How so ? " wo asked. "A receiving ship for Western J. ion and canceled prosa dispatches , " was the reply. "They could be stowed between decks where nobody could find them. And then sho'd make a good towboat for Gould's Mis sissippi barge lino. Oh sho'd work in i hundred different ways. She could ) o employed in carrying railroad iron , vorkmen and supplies to Mexico via Lessop's Panama canal , or she could jo sent to Bermuda in the crop season 'or a cargo of anti-malarial onions. 3ho would bo especially valuable as a ) lace to stow away the 'syndicate of iars about whom the World has boon ircaching so many sermons of late ; jut whether she would bo big enough , o hold them all , including the nembors of the different 'lying syndi cates , ' is a question that no one but ho proprietor of the World and the supercargo of the Great Eastern can answer. I wish that Win. Henry Gould , Jay Reid , Whitelaw Hnrlburt , or some other member of the moral n-esa would explain the difference jotwecn a 'syndicate of liars' and 'a yiw syndicate. ' Some portions of ho community need the instruction , . 'in not much of a liai myself , or I vould undertake the job. It needs in. accomplished professor of morals o do the thing justice. The Great Eastern could bo utilized in a thousand vays. Probably her best paying charters would bo her trips to Europe o bring back the American securities low being taken by foreign investors.

A friend in need is a friend indeed , ? hJB none can deny , especiall when issistanco is rendoreel when 0110 is proly afllicteel with disease , more par. iculary those complaints nnd weak- jesses so common to our female pop- ilation.
