Tho Yaryan affair causes a commotion here and is undoabtedly unpleasant to the republicans. Several republican Senators have been discussing privately the advisability 0( asking the President, for the sake of the party, to dismiss General-Babcock from the public em- ployment he holds. There 1s a feeling that it is desira- ble to “unload,”? to use a phrase of General Grant's, and now comes this removal of Yaryan, showing that there is an inclination at the White House rather to load up, It was said some woeks ago that the Presi- dent, in conversation with a frend, had said that during the remainder of bis term he hoped to be al | lowed to please himself, If he goos on an attempt will | be made by the party leaders to distinctly separate themselves and the party from bis acis, as a necessary means of eoll-preservation. On Saturday morning the White House organ con- tained several charges of corruption and malfeasance in office against Yaryan, One was that he had kept a mn of Commissioner Donglaa on the payrolls whiis that young mau was absent fron duty.

Last evening, at nine o'clock, a family qgarrel took place in Madison street, near Ferry, in Hobokon, between Michael Sullivan's family and that of Mr. Menzel, which ended by the Menzels setting an im- | mense mongrel bloodhound upon Sullivan. The animal sprang upon him, and, seizing his right arm between hus fangs, tore off a large piece of flesh.

THE HEAT YESTERDAY. Yosterday was another blazfng hot day. One did not need to glance up at the thermometer to know that its degrees were considerably above blood heat. The languid step, exhausted, encrvatea look, tho dis- play of fans and frequent use of hand- kerchiofs were evidences that old Sol was “up to his business.” Tho car horses suffered keenly, ana changes, on the shortest routes, were fre. quent. Several animals were prostrated by the heat in spite of thoir protective head gear, The drivers did not seem to care a _ button | whether the brakes worked or not. They looked wist- fully at the passengers who wero “fanning gentle breezes’? and sighed faintly at tho contrast. The condnctors assed through the cars with slow, faltering steps, and in very weak tones called for ‘fares,’ while their punches, too hot to hold, dropped from their nerveless fingers, Newsboys failed to leap on onssing cars or run after customers. The most energetic could only ware his steck gently and serve his patrons with slow and submissive movements, The forryboats were crowded, some of the pas- sengers making successive trips to enjoy the breeze thus obtained. But the water itself looked hot, and certainly the sail-breeze wax far from invigorat- ing. Central Park was thronged, but = the pedestrians sought the most shady paths aud rambles that could be found and seemed even there to sigh for the icy mountaits of Greenland. Sod water fountains were active, In fact—the trade was brisk; but the clerks were loath to put down their’ fans long enough to wait on their | customers. Scarcely « ripple ot air was noticeable all day. ‘The Stars and Stripes hung list- less from countless flagstaff, as if their glory had de- parted.

The horses are changed and then the wagon continues {ts rapid course through Mendham, | Chester and German Valley to Schooley's Mountain, and them still om to Hackettstown, All along the route the papers are distributed, and at every village, cross road and from many a country residence and farm house persons are in attendance to getaSunday Hxxato. The wagon moves so quickly from village to village that many lose the opportunity to get papers, but in the future it ts to carry a guard with a regular English conch bugle, and so, when the Dugle sound is heard, those wanting papers can meet the | wagon and got them. This is for the benefit of the country people, for the Henan will po left for sale in | every town and villago along the route, A wagon also | leaves Morristown for Boonton and Dover and dis- | tributes papers to those towns and villages along the route, People may and do ask, ‘What does tho Hexarp expect to make out of this enterprise, for the ex- pense incurred must be very large and the returns comparatively small?” The answer is simply this, that Mr, Bennett is a man of enterprise and energy and is willing to oblige the readers of the Henanp, even at a pecuniary loss to himself, He knows that on Sunday tho small newspaper dealers aro put to great expenso each by having to send spocial wagons to Newark for their papers, and that as a consequence they are obliged to sell ILKRALDS at fifteen cents each to make them come out square. Further back in tho country the expense is still groater and fancy prices aro charged for the Hematp, which is an imposition | on the readers of the paper. Now tho Heraty wagon does away with all this extortion and tho papers are sold all along the route for ten cents and no more. Mr. Bennett deserves groat credit for bis en- terprise, and we trast he will meet with nis reward in due time bya still further extended circniation of his | paper in this vicinity. | OBITUARY, ANTHONY V.
