Box 4,68, New York The Ghicags Teibune, Bunday Morning, Septomber 14, 1873 HUGH MAHER'S GAMBLING DEBTS, Tho action brought by Hugh Maler, Esq., against the Hon, 0. B. Farwoll, to recover titlo to olghty ncros of land, which Lo alloges wan givon to sald Farwoll to securo a gambling dobt, bids fair to tako its placo among the causes celebres of tho prosont doy. Mr, Mahor allogos, in substanco, that ho had lost $1,700 at play with Farwoll, ton or twelve yoars ago; that, be- ing unablo fo pay tho monoy, ho gave his noto to Farwoll for thoamount ; that, being unablo to pay tho note at maturity, ho offered to givo him o deod of this land, to bo hold by Farwoll until ho should pay thio noto, with interost. M. Maher aMrms, further, that ho has offered to puy tho note, with intorest, nud all taxes, nssoss- ments, and costs, in return for a reconvoyancoe of tholand, and that ou one occasion ho and Faiwell camo within $1,000 of ronching an agroo- meut for such roconveyanco, He thon shows that Mr. Farwell subsequently conveyed 60 acres of tholaud to tho heirs of Goorge Trusscll, deccased, and 20 acres to Mr. Aloxandor Whito, Trussell kopt o gambling-houso hore somo years ago. The bill filed by Mahor allegos that Mr, Aloxan- dor Whito claims no intorest in tho land con- voyed to him. Tho land ie situated noar tho YVillage of Riversido, and ia worth nearly or quite £1,000 por acro, At first blugh, it would seom that Mr. Mahor was seeking to avold payment of his gambling dobts by taking advantage of tho statute which’ mnkos all contracts and conveyances based upon losscs at cards void. 'Cho law of Illinois is very oxplicit upon this point. It says: 8£0, 1,—All promitacs, notes, bills, bonds, covenants, contracts, agreements, judgments, mortgages, or ofher socurities or convoyauces, made, given, granted, drawn, or cntored into, or exccuted by any person or - persons whatsoover, whero the wholo or any part of tho considuration thereof shall bo formoney, proporty, or othier valuablo thing won by any gaming, or playing a¢ cards, dlce, or any other gamo or games . . + = 1 5ll bo void and of no offect, Seo. 4 of tho same act declares null and void 9 y ussigument of a nole, conveyance, ote., awven for o gambling dobt, snd. gives the party maoking such noto, convoyance, etc., the samo remedy ngainst tho assigneo as sgainut tho orig- {nal holder. But Mr. Maber claima thot Lo is ready and de- eirous to pay his debts of honor to Farwell, prin- cipal and interost, and only wants bhis land back, which is not surprising, sceing that itis now worth £00,000 to $80,000, whilo his losses at cardy in this particular instance amounted to only 1,700, Ha rosts his claim on the principle of law that & deed givon to securo o debt, and not intended to bo a salo of the property, must be construed as s mortgago a8 ogaiunt tho party to whom it is given aud all partiea to whom the facts are or might bo kaown. Mr. Maber contends that Trussell. aud tho other partios who lave sinco received title to tho land wero Luowing to those essontinl facts. It does not appear, however, that Maher ‘waives Lis right to recover tho laud undor the gaming statute, if ho fails to recover othor- ‘wiso. It appoars, from the papers fllod, that Mr. Far- well gave only & quit-claim deed to tho Fruseell hoits aud Mr, Aloxander Whito, for anominal con- sideration, Therofore, whichever way thosuit may ‘bo decided, it cannotaftect him pecuniarily, Ifthe Trussoll hoirs havo any claims upon bim, in sat- iafaction of which the land was given, they Wore probably of the same illegal charactor as those which ho had againat Maber, ond not enforcoa- bloat law. Therefore, our Congressmau’a in- terest in the caso ig only as to his reputation, and is of jmportanco to the public only because ho is Congrossman. Wo shall forboar to commont upon tho matter until his reply to Mr. Muher's bill ie filed. He may dony that Lo evor played with Maher, or over won suything from him, 1#, howover, tho facts aro substantially s stated by Maher, it will bo vastly bottor for him to own up. With tho oxamplo of tho Credit-Mobilier chaps bofore him, he must perceive that it ia far beiter to tell tho plain truth at once thanto dony it at first, and havo it dragged out of him sftormards, Mr. Maher makes ono further allogation, viz., that tho money waa won from him by ‘* frandu- Jont contrivances and devices.” That is to eay, it way not only won at cards, but by choating at coards, Tho law doos not know any such crime a8 chenting nt cards. The act of gambling in- cludes all the losser contrivances and devicea Kknown to the knights of the groon cloth. Mr. Maher porhaps introduced this allogation into his bill to vindicate himsolf as an adept aud *bampion of the * square game.” ‘THE HOSPITAL QUESTION, Tho erection of a now and commodious County Tospital caunot Lo delayed much longer, snd ought not to bo delayod any longer. No publio Improvement is 8o imporatively nooded. The old honpital is, on all lLanda conceded to bo to- tally nufit for hospital purposes, besides bewng quite too small to comfortubly nccommodate the olelt poor of this county, A now hospital, thoroforo, is not n question of oxpediency, but of paramount neceswity. 5 Tho doings of the County Cowinissionors, in conneotion with this hoepital quention, refloct no oredit eithor upon themnolves or Cook Cquin. ty. Aftor two yonrs of cffort, they have accom- plished oxactly nothing; they havo pocketod bids for sovernl lots which they don't intend to buy, and bave contracted for ano lot, which ju #o proposterously unfit for houpital grounds that popular indiguation compoelled thom to rescind thoir vote at thoir earllest opportunity, Such, in brief, in the history of tho hospitul businecs, eo far 28 the Commissloners are con- corned. Wo undoratand that two tracts of land aro now offered to tho county for hospita} sites; ono ia tho so-called “Daldwin lot," o 4ract conslating of about twelve acres, boundoed by Harrlson, Polk, Wood, and Luefiin stroots; ¢ho other s tho lot owned by MeAllister, of Philadolphia, consisting of thirteon aud one- $hird acres, bounded Ly Polk, Laflin, Taylor, and Loomis streots, The *Baldwin lot” has beon unsnimously @, mmonded by the Medleal Board of tho Iospitai, and tho MoAllister lot would bo oqually sntiafaatory to them,~in taot, botl those lots seom to bo, in all rogards, ontirely sultable for lhospital purpomos. Thoy aro both largo onough to accomimodato the hospital which' tho futurs Ohiongo will roquire; both are of sullablo shape for Isying out into ornamental grounds, and both are contrally locatod, In tho mattor of location porhaps the AeAlllwter lot han tho advantagoe. DBut uo real objeotions can Lo urged against oithor lof, nud the quostion vory naturally arlees, Why do not tho ospital Oommitteo recommond, and the Commissioners purchinge, ona of them without furthor do- Iny? The problem secoms a vory simplo ouo: Wanted a hospital sits of sufMcient sizo, contrally located, at a reasonable prico, It Bearcoly seoma necoseary that the solution of & problem so straightforward and simple should consume 50 much timo, In view of tho dilapi- dated and filthy condition of the old hospital, and of tho consequont prossing ncod of & now one, {t s littlo loss than an outrago for the Com- misslonors to allow this matier to drag along month aftor month without any dofinite action being taken, COLLAPSE OF A HUMBUG, ‘Thousand of yards of rotten and ront cotton, usecloss boats, Instrumonts, and provisions, and & sudden stonch in the atmosphore, aro the out- como of the proposed aorial voyago to Eurapo, which has boon leralded ovor tbe world with such a vigorous blowing of trumpeta by tho pro~ priotors of tho Graphic nowspaper. The great gas-bag, which was ouly equaled in quantity and quality by ita ownors, has collapsed, and with its collapao oxploded also onmo of tho most impudont humbugs of the day. It is foriunate that the ond is complete, and that it only required omo littlo filthy minuto to complote it, and that the collapse does not involve any distrossing hard- ship, or fleaco the public to any appreciable ex- tent, iu & pecuniary senso. Tho ciroumstances attending the proposed voyage have been keph boforo the public so porsistently that it is un~ nocesnary to robearse them at this time. Wo havo no doubt that the firat proposition was made in merious onrneat, and that, if Prof. Wiso had boon furnished with what he desired, by parties ‘who took a personal and sclentific interest in tho matter, he would have attempted thovoyage, Un- fortunately for him, the managers of the Graphio, sooing an opportunity to advertise thomselves and their paper, got control of it. By a series of most extraordinary exaggerations and misatate- monts, they succoeded in heralding their ontor- prise sll ovor the country. The tolegraph, the Bignal Borvice, the scientific institutions and eavants of the country, woro used with tho most unblushing assurance, and half the prominent men in the country indireotly lent their influenco to further the private purposcs of these men. With conslderablo ingenwty, tho public curiosity was arousod and kopt oxcited until the Lalloon was flnished, and something must bo done. Then the proprietors commonced hedging and proparing io got out from undor. Ifany ong will take the trouble to read the balloon dis- patchos of the past fow days, it will be noticed that, whilo the time of asconsion was fixed, it was in ovory instanco statéd with qualifications and roservations, which grew sironger and more dectded 88 tho time of the ascension approached. At last came a very decided hint that tho con- struction of tho balloon had been a failure; that, instend of $16,00u being epent upon it, it bad not cost $4,000; that it had been Jying upon tho Capitoline Grounds for woeks, slowly rotting under the influence of the woather ; that Prof. Wise bad declined to maico the trip because the contract bad not been fulfilled; ond that an irresponsible aeronaut, who is better known as an acrobat, would possi- bly make tho trip. Tho logical onding of all those reservations has'come at last. Tho bal- loon, the life-boats, tho acrobat, and all the son- eational praphernalis, have dissppeared, and all that is left is a profit of some thousands of dol- lars in tho pockets of thoe Graphio proprietors, the advertising they have got, and a griov- ous wrong done to Prof, Wise, whom we Doliove to have beon an innocont victim. Prof. Wise ia now an old men, whoso reputation is without & blemish. Ho has given ‘his whole life to the study of aeronautics, both theoretically and practically. He was nevers soneationalist or o charlatan, and it was an evil day for him, therefore, whon ho foll into the hands of tho Bohemians who managa tho Graphie. His knowledge of the subject and his ardent de- votion to it have commended him tothe scientific men of the country, and they have alwsys treated his theories and statements with respect. The idoa that such a man in his old ago should have lent himself to a sen- gation is proposterous, Ho bolioved implicitly | in his favorito theory of wind-curronts, and was prepered to risk his lifo in tho verification of that thoory ; and Lo was undoubtedly looking forward with pride to this trip ns a fact that would repay him for years of study and danger- ous oxperiment, and would crown his life with sn enduring fame. The imposition, thore- foro, .which has boon practiced upon him s, as wo havo characterlzed it, o griovous wrong, and ontitlos him to the sympathy of the public. Tho publio is now {roated to anothor of tho assuring statements of tho managars of tho Graphio that another bal- loon will be immediately constructed. Fortu- nately, thero is no dangor of this, Tho Mossrs, Goodsell will build no moro balloons, and, if an nir-voyage slall bo made to Europe in the fu- ture, 1t will bo under other suspicos than theirs, Meanwhile, the subject suggesta but ono moral, sud that was propounded by Theodore Tilton, who remarked, a8 he behold the collapso, that. human gas-bags might evolve s wholesome moral from it, The Now York Tribune thinks that the cur- ront oxpenditures of the Govermment call for very sorjous attention, and, from a comparison; of the figures which it furnjshos, tho warning appears to be timely. Tho compargtively small radyction in the Public Debt, and the lsrge gojd’ salos, are aufliciont to indicato that the oxponses arc on the incroase, This is actually ntlualefi,i moroover, by tho publin accounts, The expopdituree for tho flscal yepr ond- ing June 30, 1878, largely excecdod tho gatimato, Fortunately thero wae alio an oxyers of roveuns over thp ostimate., The Public Debt was roduced $58,763,4853 byt if the rovenue had not exgooded tho Seoretary's osti- mato, tho reduation would have beon only 884, 076,809, Tho tota! estinated oxnonditures ' for the yoar wore 260,651,049 ; tho sctugl expondl~ furea reached $284,280,826.

The shrino Laa alao boen visited by thousands from varlous parts of Germany ; and, in addition to crowds who have gono there in small groups from Groat Britain, a formal pilgrimago of 400 persons, hended by thoe Duko of Norfolk, reoontly and in somowhat os- tontatious mannor loft England to attost their faith in the miraculous powors attributed to the' walors of this shrino. And now an Amorican pilgrimage is on foot to the same placo. ‘I'ho ovents loading to tho rocent intorest in this place aro familiar to the public, but the story of the eaint, as rolatod by hor biographors, isan old one. It hnsa peouliar intorost in the OUnthollo Church, bocauss from Lor datos tho ceremony known in that Church as ¢ Dovotion of tho Baorod Hoart of Jesus." Tho eaint Marguorito Marlo, nee Alacoque, was born July 23, 1647, at Verosvros, in tho Dioceso of Autun, In the ecclosiastical Province of Lyons. Hor father, who was & Notary, died whon sho was 8 years of age, loaving & widow and five children in rather straitencd circumstancos. Marguo- rite Liad proviously found n home with n noble lady, her godmother, and had lived with hor four years; but tho death of this lady aboubt tho timo hor father died forced hor back to her mother. Sho was placed in & convent of Urbanistes, romaining thero two yvears, whore,. when 0 yoars old, sho rocelved tho Sacramont. Bpeaking of this timo in ono of her lotters, writton long after, sho says: 1 foll into & pitiable condition, and was about four yeara without the poworof walking; my bones piorcod my skin on all sides, and at the ond of tho yoar I was taken away from the con- vont, thero boing no other remedy for my slck- nesa than to dedicato mo to the Holy Virgin, with tho promiso that, if sho made me woll again, I should one day bo ons of bher dsughtors,” When sho returned to her bhomo, sho dlsciplined hor already omaclated body, sleoping upon the bare floor, spending the night in prayor, passing wholedays without food, and othorwiso murtyrizing her body., Fourteon yoars lator sho devoted herself to a roligious life, entoring tho Convent of the Visitation at Paray-le-Moniel, Provious to this act she claim- ed that on ono oceasion, after baving received the Bacrament, eho was addressed by Christ, who snid to her : “'I pardon thy ignorance which pre- vents thy knowing mo frooly, but, if thou follow- ost mo constantly, I will mavifest mysolf to theo.” Subsoquently this promise was ‘made good,—the time, place, and manner boing thus rolatod by horself ¢ Ono time, Lelng boforo the Holy Bacramont, I found ‘mysolf invested with {ho Divine presouco 8o power- fully that I forgot myzelf and tho place whare I atood, and abandoned myself to tha Divine Bpirit, delivoring my heatt over to the power of Hia lovo, He made mo ropoao for n long timo upon his Divino Lreast, whers He diaclosed to mo the marvels of His love and the in- explicabla secrots of His sacred heart, 1fo had always kopt it hidden from me bofore, but now Ife opened it for the firat time, and ina manner 8o cfloctivo that Ho left me no room to doubt, And this s how it scoms to me thia Interviow passed, Hosaldtome: “My Divine lieart is so full of paesiomate love for men, and for you in parifcular, that it can no louger contain within jtaelf tho flow of its ardent, Joving kindness, Tt s neceasary that it should bo distributed by your agency, and that it should manifest tsclf to mankind in order to enrich thom with tho precious treastires that Ishow you, and which contsin tho manctifying and esaving graces necessary fo their salvation, I havo choson you for the accomplishmont of this deaign, as ‘belng in the depth of indigence and ignoranco;

Thero are two oladsos of cascs which seom to 'bo constantly bofore tho English courts, namely, broaches of promise and offending clorgymen, and neither of thom soom to ocossfon much scandal in that country, but are taken as mattors of course. In thoflrat-namod olasa of cases, tho Baturday Review gravely proposos that the pub~ Ho reading of lottors which have passod botweon the parties shall be disponsed with, arguing that thoir only nso is to tickle the ears of tho gosaips and make tho genoral publio laugh; nod that, as evory many and woman in tho community is addioted to writing ridioulous love-lotters, it is unfair to singlo out those who happento got into thooourts, and oxposo thom toridioulo. Tho other class of cagos, however, involves a serious mat- tor, for if tho shophorda go astray what will bo- como of the flocks? In a rocont issue of Tup TRmUNE wo cataloguod somo half-a-dozen clor~ gymen whose offenzos wero onumerated in o single issne of the London News. By a curious coincidonco, the last English mail that wo have rocoived contains exactly the same numbor. Thelr offonsos may ba briefly stated. Tho Rev. John Borrington, who has just boen sontonced to fifteon yoars' ponal servitudo, Lins passed twenty-~ #ovon yoars of his life in obtaining monoy undor false protenses. Tho evidonca showod that ko bad bon three times a bankrupt, and that hohad lived and preached in scores of towns, whoro ho had doliboratoly defrauded scorcs of tradesmen and othor peoplo. The next caso is that of two Primitivo-Methodist miniaters, who were aont to prison for obstructing the public highway in Liverpoal, draxving togother a disorderly crowd, and rofusiitg to move on whon ordored by tho polico. The third caso is that of the Rev. Philip Froat Haing, of Wigan, who was arrested and punished for maliciously proscouting a school- master in his employ. The fourth caso is that of Potor Honry do Lolme, a Church of England clorgyman, who has hold soveral vicarages and curacies, and who was brought up on the chargo of vagrancy aud rofusing to work in the workhouso while recolving rellef. ‘The last caso doos mot involve any criminal sct,— the clorgyman in question having simply Iot & woman and child drown without making any attompt to rescue thom. His ponalty was a sovere censure for cowardico from the Coroner's jury. Considering the extraordinary number of English clergymen who aro continually gotting into trouble, it becomes an interosting question to discover the cause. Tho great majority of their offenscs are obtaining monoy under folse protenses. Is thore any ocoult influ- onco in the damp weathor of England which dopresses them and leads them into such rockloss conduct ? Has the fact that tho larger ‘proportion of them do not recoive a atipond suii- olont to liv upon have anything to do with it ? Or ia tho standard of clorical morality lower in England tlen elsowhore? Tho problem is & curious one, to say the least. MILK AND TYPHOID FEVER. THow much has milk to do with typhold fever? In Eoglaud this question is growing to be a sorious one, aud is now being discussed with great soriousness by the English physicians. At Marylobono, Brighouso, Southowram, and other distriots, typhoid fever has boon raging with great violenco, and has bocome epidomic. In ono of the London districts thore aro 600 casos of woll-defined typhoid fever, attondoed by & so- veoro mortality. In gearching for the causo of this sudden outbrenk of this disease, the physi- cians, at once, and without any difliculty, traced it to the milk supply, and immediately com- moncod & systomatio visitation and inspection of tho dairy farms. Dr. Whitmore, of Marylebone, who wasengagedinthoinspeotion,roported thatho - found the sanitary condition of thesedairios to bo of tho worat possible kind,and that Lo wassatisfled tho contamination of tho milk was duo to tho ‘wator-supply on these farms, and to tho trifling quantity loft aftor rinsing the cans, Dr. Mur- chison and others have tostified to tho same ef- foot, and thoir roports have brought to light many other cages of a similar charactor in Eng- land and Scotland, At ono farm, Dr. Murchison found a cow-drinking from o cesspool, formed by & drain running through & fold in which was & largo manure-heap. Upon furthor investiga- tion, it was found that thers was typhoid fovor in every family which was supplied with milk from this dairy. Tho Board of Hoalth at onco forbade any furthor supply of milk from theso infooted farms, and the epidemio commenced to abato, ehowing very conclusively hat had caugod it. The facts which have been brought out by the English investigation are vory perti- nont a8 concorniug our own milk supply. Wa aro informed that thore are at present numorous casos of typhoid fovor in Will County, in this Btato, and it is probably true of other counties, and that almost ovary ailmont {8 attonded with typhoid symptoms.

Tho Assoolation had to con- tond with tho regulnr milk-doalors, who got up “cornera” on cans, domoralized the cmployes, and conapired to compromiso the quality of milk doliverod by the Association; with house- sorvants, who weroe hired to wator aund sour tho milk, and to inform tho Association drivors that 10 mora milk was wanted—and then complained to their omployers that tho Association drivers did not'eall; with dishonest drivors and alorks; ond, finally, with the railrond corporations, who wero in loaguo with the middle mon, to discriminato ngainst the Association’s fraight. Notwithatanding all thoso obutacles, tho Bocioty workod on, aud now thoy have ten dopots and soveral wagons in oporation, and a portion, at lonat, of tho pooplo of Boston aro gotting pure milk and at & chonpor price than that which they pald for tho adultorated stuft. Tho following extracts from the roport, relating to the quality of milk, are pertinont to the gonoral subject undor discnssion: ‘Whan the milkist adds from the city hydrant 20 to 40 per cont of water, it i not, s tho gancral publie term 1t, aweeak solution, but itis in reality a ery strang mixture, inasmuch s docomposition {natantly commences, Tho chemical result of introducing live (f. e, not boiled) ‘water, and the docomposed or decomposing fiuld taken to tho slomach of the infant causpa more bowel com- plaints and deatlis than it regular polson, in moderate quantities, was put into pure milk, The milk-and- ‘wator dealers add carbonato of soda snd salt, ond this salted-down-cxtonded milk {s thus artfully kopt from showing indications of decomposition, and in ita somi-docompoasd condition apyearato keep bottor than puro milk, - Whother such an association ia practical or not in this oity, thero is no doubt of the im- puro quelity of much of tho milk rotailed horo, and that impuro milk {8 directly productive of disonse. There is special noed, therofors, that dairymen should look after thoir water eup- ply, the quality of food used, and tho ventilation of their barns, as it has been shown boyond quostion, that an impuro atmosphere, as woll as impuro wator, will contaminate milk, It is s sorlous quostion which must sooner or later como up for settloment, and it is as woll to be- gin now a8 at soms future time. The fact that Naturo is full of compensations 18 beautitully illustrated by a recont bit of scien- tifio .information, which announces that the houne-fly is tormontoed by paraaites, of which it cannot got rid, and that it suffers dreadful agonies from their tickling. Thia curlous pieco of information will undoubtedly arouse sympathy for the fly, and mitigate tho indignation whioh hag hitherto beon vented upon him. Hego- sftor, the blua-boitle who persists in iight- ing upon onc's nose, although he is re- peatedly driven off, will bo entitled to commiseration from the fact that his agonics aro the grontest, and that a parasite is worry- ing his norvous systom, and slowly but surely tickling him to death, If now tho sciontists can ooly assure us that musquitoes are preyed upon by other parasites, then those small pests will cortainly Lo entitlod to commiseration. In -trict justico to thom, howevor, tho sciontists ought to establish tho fact that the parasites themselvos aro afilictod by othor parasites, and soon adinfinitum.

DAS DEUTSCHE REICH IM JAURE 1872, Berlin, Tho fow yoars that have elapsed sminco tho TFranco-Prussian war have hoon a perlod of pro- found penco for the Emplro, so far, at loast, as a nation may bo snld to be at pence thiat is with- out an enomy {n the fleld, But thoro aro battlos | othor than those wagod by contending arimnios with whot aud shell ; conflistss moro dangerons to o nntlon's existenco than thoso with its tradi tional enomics. Tho Intestivo difileultios of & Stato may at any time end in ity disruption, and do what no amount of extornal forco would suf- fico to nocomplish, The Gorman Em- piro has mot beon freo from those intornal difficulties; and, judging from tho policy of {ts statosmon, did mnot oxpoct to be freo from thom whon it was foundod. To n certaln oxtont oven thoso difi- cultios aro of its own creation ; for it did not walt for symptoms of disaffootion towards itaelt o manifest themsclves, to doclaro tho presoncoe within Its limits of clemonts daugerous toits existonco, It antloipatod that suoh disaffection might possibly ariso in cortain quarters, and pro- coodod forthwith to eradicate the assumod canso. In thooconflict thus precipitatod botwoon itsolf and somo of its subjoots, and which is not yet at an ond, the Empiro took tho initiativa and compolled the weakor party to assume an attitude whion, under a passive polioy on the part of the Emplre, it would scarcoly have dared to assume, and which would cortainly not have beon necossary—an at- titudo of antagonism. Ono cannot study the dotion of tho Empiro during the past yonr-and-a- balf and not sco that ita whole poliey dur- ing that timo has boon dictated by a dread of disgolution, = droad made to look very much liko nn oxtremo anxioty to insure its porpotuity— an anxioty, however, which botrays its wonk- ness—porhaps the ono wenk point is its mechan~ ical construction. Not o singlo groat stop haa beon teken sinco tho close of ths Franco-Prus- sisn war by Gormen statosmen that does not glvo evidonce of the foar of disruption from in- tornal cauaos. . 'Fhero is an appraliension deop in ovory Prussian hoart that tho now Gorman Empiro may bo tho creation only of a day ; that ita foundation is on sand, on sand only, and that it may fall from tho alightost internal atorm, Indeed, the Lmpire 1s no growth, or, if & growth, a mushroom one. It is an Empire founded on an iden. Ita strongth lios in the arms of Prugsia and in tho hends of a fow statesmon, not fu tho hearts of a poople. It is & hotaro- goneous, forced union. Its parts do mot yet cohero, but aro hold togather by the power of tho sword, True, Gormsns sro proud of the Empiro. But they aro proud of it 2s » mon may bo proud of o huge house about which cling no associations of his childhood. The German Empiro excites the wondor of its subjects; it does not excite their love. It is only a stop-father to mostof them, whom they will nover cherish 28 their own parent, It may be asublime thing tolook at. It has magnitude and apporent strongih. It has nccomplished groat things, It is credited with baving dofoatod the Fronch; but peoplo forget that not till it had dofeated thom did it become tho German Emplre. But, apite of all this, {tis wank for the reason that it is not part and parcel of tho German's nature. He did not grow up with it. Io is not used to it. It camo nftor him, and its ways aro not Lis woys. 1t is cortain that for o long timo Germany bas aspired to national unity., Gorman poots base sung it and Gorman political writers pointed out what the German people ought to be. Dutno amount of writing, no number of vorgos, can mako & pooplo what by uature they aro not. The Empire may oxist in Gorman braine, To bo porpotual it must bo given an existenco in German tissuo aud Gorman blood, Novw, thero is oue groat fact that stares Ger- man statesmon in the faco, and must throw over their political dromms “tho pale cast of thought” Tt Is this: ihut bitherto, ut lenst, the Gorman people have manifosted no political genius. From the dawn of history thoy have heen divided, or shown a tendoncy to divide, into small political communities, Tho Gorman Empiro is in direct conflict with their chiaracter in tho past. They aro not o contripe- tal poople. Whon they mado the acquaintance of the Romans they had no conception of tho State ; and it is not many decades sinco they have beguu to Iook upon it ‘in any light but as tho property of thelr King. The statesmon of the now German Empire 8seom cquacious of all theso things, They seem to undorstand that thors -is at pros- ont no natioual consciouencss, no na- tional coberonco,no unifying principloe, in the Empire; and all their efforts are directed to- ward tho creation of such a coherence, toward tho bringing about of - & homogeneity, which at presout doos not oxist, but which must bs pro- duced if tho Empire would bo made permanent. Looking at the presont map of Europe, thero soems little for the Empire to fear from without, Tho moeting of the three Emperors at Berlin, not long ago, if it had any political " pignificance whatevor, meaut, practically, an alli« ance of Russis-Austria and tho new Empire ; the political isolation of Franco, aund the transposi- tion of tho political contro of gravity of Europo from D'aris to Berlin, Political Italy has morn in common with the now Empire than it has with Franco. Hence it may bo safely assumed that the dangers to tho Empire from without are in- finitesiwal, Thero are, bowover, a8 befora intimated, dan- gors from within. Wiat they are, sud whonce their origin, wo have alroady hinted. To coun- toract those dangora thoro was but ono way opon to tho new Empiro—the strengthening of the Qovornmeut, tho practical assortion of Btate absolutism; and, accordingly, it has boon ns- sorted aud actod upon. Germany assorts the monnrchieal principlo with more emphasis than pothaps any other Europoan Btato, Russiu searcaly excaptod. Tho Crown, howovoer, would Lo poworloss if it atood alone, But the futellect of Germany, depondent as it is upon tho Gov- ernmont for almost evorything, is tho CGovorn- ‘mont's strongest ally, Its professors aud doctors of philosophy aro tho preachors of the now politioal crood, if new it can bo callod. Tho pross, tho school, all the machinory of intellect in fact, Is arrayod in tho service of tho Empire. Tho pon and tho sword are allies, Tho now Ewmpire has an intelloctual armyin its sorvico scarcely inforior to tho hosts it lod againet France at Gravolotte and Bsdan, Troa- son in tho Univorsity is punisked almost as so- vorely ns in the camp, “‘Thou sbalt think nothing adverse to tho Gorman Empire!"—such is tho now. commandmant. 'Tho Government aud tho intelleot of the country thus, q?:biuflfl Liave undartaken no loss a task than Hjerogon- oration of the Gorman pooplo, Ever§“Gormsn mustbe born again, croated anew in tho imago of the German Empire. 'Tho Empiro must bo mado to loavo its impress on tho hoarts and in tho bralns of ita subjocts in such a manaer that it shall novor again o offaced, To bring about this rogoucration, Gormany has mado ita sohiool, during tho past year, moro & Stato fustitution than over.

Nor is it sought to justify tho Clovoramont on aoy othor principle than that the new Empira must bo atrongthoned within. The ondeaver to convert the prosont mochanical union of the Empiro {nto a chomical union is the oxplanation of Gorman history and German logislation sinco tho war, It botrnysgroat distrust in the minds of tho framers of tho new Coustitution themsolves o8 to its pormaneucy, and must eatisfy any ono who looks into tho matter that only by sacrificing many & high principlo, and, porliaps, only by tho maintonance of the prinoiple of Biato absolutismn can that union bo pormanently insured. It romains to bo seen whother the gigantio taske of romolding tho minds of a wholo nation can bo nccomplished ; whother it is possiblo for the Stato not to dictato to mon what thoy shall bollove and what thoy shall think, but whother it is possiblo to Elncn men in such circumstancon, to surround thom by such intluonces, that in course of timo thoy will, spito of thomaelves, thiok as thinks tho Governmont, Tho ago is perhaps gone when roligious dogmas will bo pro- scribed by the Stato, Political dogmas, howevor, may bo yat enforcod, ~In Germany, the Imporial Orown, tho army, the univorsitios, and tho progs— the physical and intollootual power of tho nation —hava conspired to bring sll this about,—an end which they, no doubt, beliovo is dovoutly to ba wished.” Upon thoir success doponds the per- manency of the now Empiro. e THE LOCATION OF THE HOSPITAL. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune § Bin: Bowo vory curions idoas prevail horo in Chicago concorning hospitals and thelr offocts upon noighborhoods and property. No wonder. Wo have not a single model hospital in this great city ; houco tho popular ides must bo based upon thoso wo have. Vory many paople beliove that & hospital must of necessity injure or de~ preciato ndjacent property for residenco-pur- poscs. This notion i n long way from tho truth, sa all oxperionco in building decent hospitels sbundautly domonstrates, St. Luko's Hospital, in Now York, is situated 1n ena of tho most favored residonce-localitios, and the occu~ pauts of the coutiguous brown-stone fronts nover dream of looking upon this boneficont institution as 6 nuisauce, Tho Boston City loapital aud tho Massachusetts General 1ospi- tal are hoth regarded as ornamonts to fastidious Boston. The famous old Peunsylvania Hospital, with lvs broad and boautiful grounds, iu_ sitnated in tho honrt 051 the resideuce-section of Philn- an dolphis, nobody thinks of com- plaining of _it. 'Lhe Rotreat for the Inesne, in Hartford, Conm., occupies tho contro of nmagnificent \n\vn, located in what was tho outekirts of the city, but what is now the most _desirable residence quarter, people of wealth and cultivation having been attracted thither by thoe beauty of tho park surrounding the hospital. Thess charming grounds aro daily visited by many people in carringes and otbor- wiso, nud they nro constantly made choerful by hilarious troops of childron from the noighbor~ hood, thus affording continual amusomont aud 'divarsion to tho unfortunato poo- ple within tho howpital. Ono vory significant fact is truo of all, oxcopt porbaps ono, of these well-known hospitals; they wora originally located upon secludod grounds, far from tho chosen romdence-sites of the varioun citios mentionod ; henco, if peoplo lived near o hospital, it must be from choioe, not from necoa- sity. The people went near the hospitals to build thewr homes, bocauss thero they found a spot of groou earth, carofully kapt and benuti- fied, and thus rondered ploasing and attractivo aliko to sick and well, A _woll-known capitalist, residing in Philae delphia, who is not wuch accustomed to doing foolish things, has recently offered the County Commissionors a largo and very desirablo lot for houpital purposes, eituated in the heart of n larga aud vory valuablo tract of his own land, This offer was made aftor nscertaining tho effect of Liospitals unon the value of ndjoluing prop- erty in Philadelphia; but it is & sure thing that LoTound in that old eity—the head-contro of American medical inatitutions—no such old rat- traps a8 wo can slow him hero ; aud twe call our rat-trap s County Hospilal ! In othor clties, tho fact scoms to have been discovored that landscape-gardening i ap) Dlo to hospital-grounds; that blossoming fl ors; aud bubbling fountaing, and_ wingiug birds, and graveled walks, and grassy lawns are plena- ing to thooyes of tha destitute ik, whom vico or misfortune—charity asks not which—has made tho compulsory recipionts of public boun- ty. Henco, in other citics, the pooplo do not look with loatking and diegust, but with laud- able pride, upon their hospitala; they do nob shun them as ccutres of contagion and the headquartors of all mannot of vermin, but thoy go and bulld their Lomes @ mest them, ~and then send their children to frolic upon thoe beautiful gronnds which enlight- oned and far-geéing publio oflicors havo created. Tho genoral iden concerning our County Loepi- tal iv, that it is an excellont placoto keep out of; and & vory correct idea it is, 100, Tho gruoral iden concerning the public hospitals of other cities is, that thoy aro ploneaut_nud_ homo-like, clean and airy; that rats, aud bod-bugs, and cockroncbes, and other oqually cheerful and comforting companions, ero not, a8 a general rulo, admitted to the various warda; that pationts can 'stop out of doors withont gotting stuck in s mud-holo, or blundoring into a liquor-dog- gory, or being scrcechod aud hissed at Ly a tribo of locomotives ; aud this idea is also mainly cor- Yect, Lot it bo understaod that no blume is cast upon the medical otlicers or the Warden of our Hoeitals thoy aro ail faithful und efiicient me ; But the faults of tho buildings and geounds are simply irrmediuble. A mow hospital, upon Jargo and beautiful grounds, is tho one impora- tive demand which cannot bo evadod, Auothor fact may hero bo alluded to: The now hospital must be locatod as near tho goo- raphical centre of tho nir{ a8 poseible, 5o o8 to o oqually accessiblo to all, 1t would ha an net of sheor cruolty to place the howpital far nwry from tho ceutro of population, thus nocessitnt ing long and oxlinusting journcys, too ofton by menns of rough and rude convoyances, befora sick and wounded pooplo could reach a placo of oomfort and roposie, In carey of sudden illness, —whick uro always occurring,—it is imporatives 1y necossary that tho Lospital bo easy of nccesn, Prooness, e THE RAID UPCN THE PEDDLERS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribitne : Bin: On Mondny last, eight peddlers woro are restod on tho South Blde, and locked up, for peddling,—the bail being £200. We woro kopt in tho cells until lato at night bofora wo wero bailed out.
