This theory of “partial suspension” which the banks of New York, Philadel- pbia, Boston and New Orleans have lately put imto practice is an extraordinary and demoralizing idea. They claiin the right to override law and precedent by paving cheques at pleasure, by refusing all cheques over a certain amount, or by re- fusing to meet their obligations in other cities, and yet at the same time carrying on an ordinary deposit and banking busi- ness. No wonder the Senate is discussing the matter, and men with genuine states- manship in their composition denouncing he policy. It must prove a ruinous one for the banks in the load run. People who are now coming home from summer vacations will find it harder to work than ever, says the Boston Giobe.

It is simply the reaction that comes from t he relaxation of nerves and muscles and brains. A man after a long rest feels tired, on the same principal that he feels drowsy after a long sleep. So after a long vacation one should know that he is rested, although his feelings tell him he is tired.

Mr. Astor has forbidden this, and, it is said, he will also stop the priv- ilege of visiting Cliveden woods. In the prevailing dullness high society finds absorbing interest in the following incident : The other day at Homburg the Prince of Wales happened to call. on a lady who was occupying a villa. He en- juired if she was at home. The abigail who answered the door did not recognize the visitor, and said she would go and see. She shut the door, leaving the Prince out- side. Finding her mistress out, she re- | turned and reported the fact. The Prince | la-t year, and beings been ex- and some | } } retired. When her mistress returned and found who had called and how he had | been treated, she wae furious and dismiss- ed the girl. When the Prince heard thia he requested that the lady would take back the girl and forget the ciz:umstanee, for it had merely amused him and the ‘girl had done no harm. Of couree, his wish was cbeved. Mr. Van Horne’s advice to farmers is to bold their wheat fur a while. He argues that the price of wheat has been reduced to the present low figure by several causes, some of the mest potent of which are, be- yond all doubt, temporary. The financial disturbance in the United Slates is one of these. The lack of currency has retarded the moving of grain, and has consequently reduced prices in the west. As soon, how- ever, as the price of wheat recovers from the effects of these merely temporary causes, farmers should sell. They should not hold wheat in the expectation of a still further advance in prices after the prices have recovered from ‘he recent heavy decline caused by a stringent money mar- ket. The general course of wheat prices for years has been downward, and there is nothing to indicate that it will take an upward turn. Production is greater than ever, transpertation is more extended and cheaper communication is more universal, and as a result competition in the world’s markets is keener and prices are lower.

Mr. Best informs us that : with your Health Richord Johnson, I found that he he adoption of the sewage farm an = In eonver- Officer, Dr had ad Woertthe admirable ior a city situated as Clrar it wonkd b water of the ha: the city I agreed with him that this system | I ] wa is, and avery great pity toc mitamnate the bor and rivers by conducting sewers in that direction as Analyst Best “found” what the pr spose ee Health Officer “advised” and straightway paid him homage and “agreed with him.’ Such complacency on his part would | surely deserve all praise had he confined it to an inoffensive conversation, but the moment he gratuitiously put it in printer’s ink, it became impertinence and overween- ing vanity. Had Analyst Best any idea of all that is | implied in his condemnation of the plan “proposed.” His letter when properly analyzed woul read something lke this:: “Tadies and gentlemen,—I am delighted with your beautiful little city (of course it appears little to large minds), but you need sewers to make it healthy and attractive. with your health officer ‘Il found’ that your City Council sent to | Newport, RB. l., fora sanitary engineer, | viz., Col. Member of the Royal Engineers (Holland), Member of the Institute of Civil Engineers (England), Fellow of the Sanitary Insti- tute of Great Britain, Corresponding Mem- ber of the American Institute of Architects, to make plans and estimates of a sy tem for Charlottetown. That important pre- liminary work has been accomplished by Col. Waring, who, no doubt, with his then knowledge of sanitary science, did what he considered the most advisable in every re spect, he having very fully and carefully regarded the question from every stand- point. He is unquestionably pre-eminent in his life-long profession, an author of an able work on sewerage and land drainage; thoroughly acquainted with the various methods of sewage disposal and sewage farming in all its various forms; travelled in Europe, he knows all about Berlin; called to Paris, he successfully supplemented their sewerage system by what igknown as Waring’s system. The Board of Health of Ontario, composed of a staff of able medical men, speak of his work done there in the very highest terms. In short, wherever Col. Waring proposed or executed plans or sewerage, satisfactory invariably followed. Neverthc- leas, and knowing all this, I agree with your Health Ofticer in advising you not to adopt Col. Waring’s proposed plan for sewering yourcity. Vide also P. Bige- low’s article in the Guardian.” The foregoing is the real interpretation of Analyst Best’s letter to the Guardian; and if it is not impertinence or presumpr | tion, or words to that effect, I must own \ to little insight into hunian nature. How- which he reminds us ‘I haye seen,” one fact of must not be overlooked. he Says, * Berlin, Germany. Lubbock’s uncultured Highlander, on returning home to his native glen after visiting Inverary Castle, had no misigivings as to his know- ledge and descriptive powers when asked by his neighbors what he thought of it. ‘Ah! said he, ‘that castle, everything wass there that any would need, even to a herd forthe geese?” Analyst Best may know somewhat more of systems of sewerage than poor Donald did of ca tles, still their experiences are not unlike—they both show their object. In my next I shall crave space in your columns to review in a more manner the Ilcalth Officer’s Yours truly, Sir John wess the valuable serious report. ; DANITAS. Septen ber 4. 1593.

EE CRUELTY TO SOLDIERS The Cause of Many Complaints in the Ger- man Army. A late Berlin despatch says: The sui- cide of a private in a guard’s regiment in Potsdam has revived a public diseussion of bullying and abuse in the army. The private was the victim of his corporal, whose inhuman practices he described in a note left for his family. The Vorwaerts, organ of the social dem- ocracy, is quick as usual to turn the inci- dent to its own account. In a long leader it directs attention to the fect that the 11- year-old c*own prince comman'!s the half company to which the dead private be- longed, and therefore, according to mili- tury law, is answerable for the whole af- fair, The crown prince ought to be court- martia'led, says the Vorwaeit, and con- demned to rigorous arrest for several months. He must not be allowed to es- cape punishment on account of his youth, thinks the social denfoeratic editor, for, if teo young to bear the blarne, he would be too young also to command. Finally the Vorwaerts appeals to the emperor to carry out his scrupulous regard for military law and let his eldest son fare as would any other similar conditions. A social demo- eratic reporter, whose account of the sui- cide appears in the Vorwaerts, says that evry effort was made in Potsdam to keep theg-uicide secret and that the body was hurried under ground without even - the pretence of religious services. The radi- cal journals say that the whole affair is but another proof of the need that the procelure of the Prussian military tri- bunal should be reformed. This proced- ure dates back to 1845. It is secret and hence it is the source of endless abuses. Tn Bavaria an cffivial report published on Wednesday shows that in 1892 privates in the Bavar'an army complained of sev- enty non-commissioned officers and eight commissioned officers. the complaints were, as usual, physical violence and abusive language. All the commissioned officers and the ma/ority of the non-commissioned officers were found guilty and were punished. only German state in which military pro- cedure is public.

The loss will be very large. Acres on acres, which a short time ago were fresh and green with ripening crops, are now bareand barren wastes of leafless stalks and branches. At first little atten- tion was paid to the flying and hopping pests, but as they increased in number hourly the farmers became alarmed and steps were taken to drive them away. A strong mixture of salt and water was used with but little effect. Sr. Jownssury, Vt., Sept. 1.—Hon. Henry C, Ide, of this place, has been ten- dered the position of Chief Justice of Samoa.
