The Heuse committee which has been teekteg into the working of the scientific bureaus etthfl gevernmeut, has prepared ite report upon the coast survey, and the geological departments. It finds the con dition of things which we have learned te deem inseparable from government pursuit of .scientific Inqury ; namely, that It is a never-ending and very costly cliase with very peer results. The coast survey has been in progress since llie beginning of the century, and has expended twenty-four millions of dollars without having com pleted the first survey of the coast line. The practical geed that it has accom plished is very small In proportion te the premise and the effort. Inland surveys have been going en, which have much puz zled the unsophisticated country folk among whom they were prosecuted, te knew their meaning and utility; nnd they have been taken en faith, as the demand of a science beyond the ordinary ken. The hills of ,our own county bear the decaying J timbers of towers which bore the coast survey instruments .a few years age; and J the Heuse committee tinds that these topo graphical inquiries have cost us the pretty sum of 350 per square mile. The geological survey has been a still greater absorber of the nation's cash , although a much younger institution than the coast survey, it has already taken sixty-eight millions of dollars. It has mapped out a very wide scheme of research, and engages the services, beside its exclusive force, of some sixty-nine sci entific gentlemen who are employed in like work by states, individuals and colleges. It publishes elaberate reports about every thing remotely related te geology ; and generally at remote periods from the investigation that is recorded. Their stateness is one of the most marked features of the government re ports. Discoveries made and theories framed by the scientific reporters find their way te the public in the ordinary avenues of communication, several years before the government reports are printed. And this lack of freshness in their disclosures is one great reason why there is no demand for them ; though there exists another geed reason in the.fact.ef. their .free distribution by congressmen. The committee finds that the sales of the geological reports which cost sixty-eight millions have amounted te Sl.SM.lO. It recommends tliat the scope of the in quiry be cut down and that the survey be confined te the making of a geological map and the collection of geological specimens; which seems te be a wise recommendation. Scientific gentlemen may naturally le re gardless of the value of a dollar ; and when they get held of the government pay their recklessness of expenditure becomes marvel marvel eous. They always think that theirlabers are of inestimable value, and the consideration of their cost wholly unworthy of them, as the agents of a great government seeking great truths. We liav experience of this in eurstate as well as in our nation. When our geological survey is completed, the remote generation that sees it done, and views the acres of reports, will knew inore than we de, perhaps, of the geology of the .state; but net much. The (Jusy Slate. Hen. Themas 31. Marshall" Glorious Old Tem" of Pittsburg, announces that the nomination of Beaver and Davies means Republican defeat ; that the Independents are net going te submit te a general "vin dication" of the boss candidates and ring methods at their expense. He thinks that if Beaver and Monteoth were nominated the former would run far behind the lat ter, but he suguests that the better way out would be the abandonment of the whole Quay slate. He says the Independ ents will organize against Beaver, Davies and Norris, slated by Bess Quay, and will increase their vote thirty te fifty per cent, ever that of 16&2. If the ring men, handled by Quay, really desire harmony, why don't they take Stewart and Beaver, or Marshall and Da vies, or Wharten Barker and Monteoth 't It is very remarkable that while they pratu se much of harmony they piopese none but Iren-clad ring men for the ticket, and the boss set-up is te be completely "vindi cated," by compelling the Independents te swallow the dese they spewed out four years age. The truth is that Beaver and Qunyure the very head of this eflendiug. Beaver is te be made governor and Quay senator. The two schemes are interpendent, and they mean the restoration of boss rule, with all the disreputable practices of the old ma chine. The Independents will beat Quay when they beat Quay' state ticket. It will require but a few honest Republicans te save the state from the impending shame. m (ilre Netice te the Taxpayers, The new tax collectors of the several dis tricte of the county, who were chosen at the late spring elections, under the new Jaw of June 25, 1B85, will de well te remcra- ber that according te the seventh section of this act they are required te give public uotice, by written or printed handbills, posted in at least ten public places in dlr- ' " ferent parts of the district, that the dupli- ? cat is In their hands ; of the five percent. abatswmit within sixty days and the five ? ytceMt. penalty afteraixmentls. It is te ' berj&red some of the collectors in this 'oeuiity lave overlejked this requirement, ttwy should remedy tueir negieci ni Itksise te be noted that en the last thrs days efiMt) of the last two weeks of these dirty Jftys'tlie collector or some one rttrtslinglilta is te be nt n designated eenrflriest place between 2 nnd 0 p. in., te recelve such taxes. Seme of the collectors have chosen different points In their town ships te meet the convenience of the tax payers; and the new law In tills icicct premises te be satisfactory. A Had System. Dr. Buttermero and his associates have vbecn convicted at Ilarrtsburg for obtaining !from the state 412,500 te build a hospital 'out in Fayette county te which the local subscriptions were net forthcoming, nnd 'the whole of which transaction showed an (evident nurnose te cheat the state. The able manner in which thu case was pre sented en the trial by the attorney general ( broke down the technical defense erected by skillful lawyers for the accused ; and laid bare the conspiracy as it K-came famil iar te the peeple Of the state when first ex posed. Upen no view of it is there reasonable ground for the belief that the enterpiise was projected in geed faith, or the appropriation procured for praise worthy nud honest public piupese. The disclosures and result of this case, however, ought net te be Ithuut a warn ing that would help te regulate our state sjstem of charities and of uppiopriatiens. Even had the Buttermero enterprise been all it claimed te be, and had it been "pro jected and carried out honestly and in geed faith, it was net a proper subject for the grant of state aid ; and the bill should have never passed the legislature and ought never te have received executive approval. It provided for one of the mixed public and private charities with which the state abounds. We believe that in grauts for endow meut or sustenauce the state should limit its bounty te its own institutions; and everything it supports should be under its own exclusive and en tire control. We have the spectacle everywhere of private, local and iersenal Institutions, controlled by their founders and patrons, and jet constantly luuutng te Hnrrishurg for suppei t from the state. It is all wrong ; it breeds just such conspir acies as that for which Buttcrmere has beeu convicted ; and a great deal of money has been of late jears abstracted from the commonwealth by means little less lespect able if net se criminal in form as these he employed. English politicians are linurluK ou lut chances of the Irish home rule bill. One estimate makes Gladstone's majority 20, while another puts him in a minority of Tf. These figures show hew clese the contest will be. A NOTEWenTHY dlvoree ease was tried in Philadelphia a few days Bge. The couple had mutually ncrecd te soiurate and llve apart,and after thoybiKlsellvcd for HOuiptlme, 1 the husband went te his wlfe te the place where she was living and akcd te be al lowed te live with her. She refused, aud he then sued ler a divorce, claiming that this refusal was n desertion. Judge Finletter held that-it was net, and directed a verdict ier the respondent. Judge Gorden has sus tained his colleague in dHmlsMnj; the motion for a new trial. He says: "It is a funda mental doctrine of divorce that the pirty who asks te have the marrip,e contract aunulled must himself bae discharged nil his lawful duties and be iree from the faults he alleges against the ether party. The hus band has net, and has, therefore, no right te the relief he nsks. Te bold that a mero verbal request by him te be allowed te live with his wife qualified him te come mte court as a Reed and faithful husband aud ask a dive.ee from her becauu the refused his request would be te make the marriage rela tion hinge upon a inere quibble. It would, moreover, be n dangerous precedent, which would Invite collusion, .siibterfugesand sharp practices in litigation that ei all otberssbeuld be characterized by the fullest i'rankues, sincerity and geed faith. De-wtleu is an actual abandonment of matrimonial cohabi tation, with an intentiiin te desert willfully and maliciously peristed In for two years The guilty Intent is manifested when, with out cause or consent, either party withdraws from the resideneeef theether. The present libelant has net brought hU canto within this definition."

Thi: growth of thu bicycle as an American institution is surprising. At theannual elec tion In Bosten et the officers of the League of American Wheelmen, in Massachusetts ever S00 votes were cast, aud in New Yerk the number was considerably mero tban 1,000. Pennsylvania turned up with neatly 600, and every state In the I'nieu was repre sented by a goodly imeta.

The erchblstiep cordially apjirewis Mr. l'ewderl's public statements, aud while he has net examlned the eoiii-iltutleii or purposes or the Knights of Latier, he believes tbey areln no way antagonistic te the church. I'uthermere he expresses the view that the t'athellc prelates will te a man declare In favor oftlie organization nl Inler. And this gives an opportunity te Dr. Gib bous te explain the views of his church to te wards secret societies, Ve bold that if a man Joins aseclety, swearing never te rec.d its worklng,ne matter hew- criminal they maybe, and te ebey the illctatuser Its oil! eil! cers blindly, he surrenders bis personal liberty, becomes u slave te his fellow men aud can no louger partake of the sacraments of thechurcli. On the ether hand, it a man joins an organization swearing te keep secret Its workings with the proviso that nothing therein shall he contrary te the laws of the land, te his conscience and his lellgleus tenets, we held that his action Is perfectly justifiable.

The line between her Up Indicated that nature had glen her n sweet temper, which experi ence might push hard uuw nud then under stress ei circumstances. She had what it would be Mifllcieut te call a busy voice, pitched like the American fcmiulun voice of her class, but without a shrewish note; en the whole, making nllewauce for the nation al key, what might be called a motherly or wifely voice. She had the curleu, watching leek common te the women of Knlrharber, iicnuirlug from that ebserva tien of the se.i with whu-h the summer boarder is uuramlllar.

Fer the rest, Ellen Jane Salt were a navy blue calico dress, well tilted (by horelf) te it pleasant Hgure, and tucked up oer the hips under a gray crash washing apron, ,.u which she wlped her steamed and dripping bauds te glve Miss Rlttergreeting. Tberu was a strip et tourist's milling In the neck of the navy blue calico, and the house, like the mistress, was ns neat as a honeycomb. One might also say, with out straining a point, that there was a certain poetry in her avocation ; for Ellen Jane Salt's old cottage seemed te the chance laltern kind et temple of cleanliness. The small kitchen was suuu.v and sweet, and dosplte the disproportion or the ironing talle and stove te the environment, the only litter seemed te be the signs of the presence of children, which nbouuded. Then it must be distinctly understood that Mrs. Salt had n "parlor." What New Euglauder has net? Whether his debts be paid or his soul saved we need net step te Inquire; he will attend te that presently s meanwhile, a parlor or your life I In Mrs. Salt's parlor was a carpet of n high-art pattern uuder reduced conditions olio green, te be sure, playing at geome try with Indian red, nnd sepia brown aud Ivery black ; it was an excellent carpet, and protected by a strip of oil cloth nailed across like a little plank walk ter the chil dren te ln el ever te the bedroom beyond. There was a new paper en the walls of the parlor, ery Jclean and very gilt (ellie green, or course), and the price per roll such a trllle that a coo-fish could nlferd It, as Mrs. Salt had often tald ; the paperer being Ellen Jane herself, nt midnight, alter a day's washing, when "he" was asleep. In the parlor were n blaik hair-cloth sofa, a centre table with a red cloth, a Bible, a Jcepy of a children's paper, an old Harper, and a patent-medicine almanac ; a chronie called ' Innocence Asleep," (pre sented with a petiud of green tea, and since framed in gilt), and a framed photograph of Rafe ; but whtn we route te ltafe Meanwbi'e, in the parlor tnere was also "an instrument " Mrs. Salt bail privately meant it te be a piano ; but Mr. Salt had a bail year haddecktug, ami that overgrewu atnbltleu was silently set aside. Anyhew.lit was an instrument, it Old net matter whether oue called it a mclodcen or u lablnet organ, or whatever; the musical future of the Salt family was thus assured. In a nar rower perennl sense the instrument was in tended for Kmma Eliza, who took music les les eons In prosperous seaseus, and played te Kale. Emma Eliza was the eldest daughter, and Itafe was tbe youngest seu. Mrs. Salt hsd slx children two babies. Rafe was a cripple. "Wasn't that Mrs. Hannibal P. Harrow stone ceinln' up the beach alongside of you?" began Mis. Salt, promptly, hhe ironed as she talked, making small ceremony et Mlts Hitter, who was au old customer, and regarded quite as one of the family. Mrs. Salt's irons thumped when she was tired or excited, though she would have you understand she knew hew te Ireu scientifically and silently, and no fuss about it. Te-uight she thumped a geed deal.' She's a geed customer, Mrs. Hannibal P. Harrow stone. Hut there!

The child had a dolicate face, retlued by fluttering, and a hiugularly sweet mouth ; he had long blonde hair, which !ullever his face as he steeped.

"H' your scru-boek," fald Mrs. Salt, in a low elce that one you gae him with the chremes nud magazines when you come in June. Yeu never see such a sight of comfort as that child gets out (' them things bless your soul ler it! It's the prcltuies.i that pleases him. The boarders give him money sometimes, but he uen't pay the same attention te it It ain't that, you knew. There's a kind of prelii ness about Hafe like the ladles and gentle men I de for. He ain't like n fisherman, Hafe ain't, aud se sweet of his temier in nil his spells. New last night never a word. His fattier and inu hate te see Hafe suffer."

'1 he young lady had qulte dignity enough even for this awkward and exceedingly warm position, aud seemed te fill the little heuse with a kind ei splendor distant, uncomprehending, ac cidental like that gilt of the scrap-book. She thought tee little about them te know knew when she did the right tiling by peer people, until they told her She did net mistake her taste for her principles, though they some times might. "1 saw Henry," said .Miss Hitter, in heratlable tone, that the wash, woman did net alvas distinguish from per sonal friendship. "He was going off In the dory after these Benzlne children that always get lest foggy days. I thought he was pretty patient, though he had te have his say about It. All the children were with him, 1 believe Tem aud Sue and the bigger iiaby and the rest" "There ain't any rest except Emma Eliza," corrected the mother.
