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.

(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."
Tjik funeral of Senater Miller cost the
country 7,350; which Is iartje money for
even n congressman's obsequies, A lle
congressman may net be the most usulul
person In the world, but he is cheaper alie
than dead.
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. It must be re
membered that these figure de net Include
the thousands of Independent cyclers, who
have affiliated with no organization. Penn
sylvania's cblef consul is Eugene M. Aaren,
of Philadelphia; and we nole tlut our dis
tinguished clerical friend and famed bicyclist,
Itev. Sylvanua Stall, of this city, Is among
the Keystone representatives clie-en. Hi
cycling Is magnificent exercise, and it fs a
pleasure te uetethat it Is being carefully nur
tured in Pennsylvania.
.VliciiniHllei' Ginno.NN,el lialtlmere, who

is the highest ecclesiastical authority of bis
creed in the country, anil whesu eluviitluii te
the dignity of the cardlualate Ismkiii te come,
has delivered an imiwtaut Peiiliuient as te

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

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 whole miehtieti as te the
chumh's position towards the Knights of

whole, making nllewauce for the nation

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

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

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

Miss Hitter, glancing Inte the "parlor,"

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. Tliore was no ether children
visible, except the baby, asleep in the crib or
cradle at the llttle cripple's feet. New and
then the hey Jogged thu cradle with his feet,
as he bent eer Ills work or play.
"H' your scru-boek," fald Mrs. Salt,

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

Hafe ain't, aud se sweet of his temier in nil

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
