The Morning Mistake spreads itself over a two column notice of the Italian liepul>lican, Mazaiuiy and with persevering and unwavering stupidity, spells his Christian name “Guiseppe.” The opening sentence is “Joseph, or properly speaking, Guiueppe Mazzini!” The blunder is not as big as the average of those that have given

as has been done with such striking success and profit in many European towns, j We have no fancy for city investments in ^ private business, or for city assumptions • of the work of private enterprise, but a municipal slaughter house has so many j decided advantages over independent pri- j vate establishments, and is subject in so slight a degree to the evils of political interference, that the idea of such a resort

is worth serious reflection.

It need not be very costly. It ran be kept perfectly clean and free from offensive odor. Its meat can all be held under constant inspection. And it can be made to pay a handsome profit on the outlay. The cost of five enormous “abattoirs” in Paris was about $600,000 each, and they pay altogether nearly 8 per cent, yearly. The enormous artesian well of Crenelle was bored for the use of one of them, and formed part of its cost. One adapted to the wants of our city need not cost more

Tub Rhode Island Republican Convention has renominated Seth Padelford for Governor, and instructed for Grant and Colfax. It is as dear as anything can be which has not happened, that the fcininner-Hchurz-Tmmbull movement must be abandoned or made a “split” of the party. Such a thing as heating Grant is out of the question. It is a light now, not between them and the widely-related President, but between them and the clear majority of their party, a change of phase which may have tome effect in diminishing the size and influence of the Cincin-

nati Convention.

MA. Brown’s ordinance restraining the moving of. freight trains through the city is not wiiat we were led to think from the first reports in the morning papers. Instead of prohibiting the movement of freight trains altogether during day light, it only stops them between the hours of 7 and 8 a. h., 12 m and U r. and 4 and «»i i*. \t. At all other hours, amounting to twenty-one of the twenty-four, trains are not interrupted. Authority is given to the Fire Engines, or any fireman, in case of an obstruction of the street by railway trains, to clear it away and to arrest the engineer or conductor of the obstructing train. No freight train moved within the city must exceed fifteen cars. VVk have never heard any hint that the conduct of Mr. Kramer, our Minister to Copenhagen, in reading to a dinner party of diplomats a letter giving our side of the Cataeazy controversy, against the protest of the Prussian Minister and the indignant rebuke of the whole party, is to be brought into question by his superiors. It was the act of an ass, a brain-softened, skull-thickened, “ Umce-aoddcn” ass, and dismissal with every mark of contempt would de too alight a punishment. Yet ho is not punished. He is not even questioned. For all the public know’ his folly is accepted as good service. Xo censure has been whispered, no displacement alluded to. Explanation: He is the President's brother-in-law. ME Motley, who offended only in differing from the views of Mr. Fish on some matter in the Alabama Claims, was promptly recalled. He was not the President's brother-in-law.

Ws copied yesterday from an exchange a paragraph about the great Pyramid of Cheops, of which the following passages arq worth a word ot correction. “ Have any of our readers an adequate conception of the vast si sue of the Egyptian Pyramids? A friend lately returned from thence, has visited the great Pyramid of Cheops, wading in the deensand fourteen hundred feet l>efore he had passed one of its sides, ami between five and six thousand feet before he had made the circuit. * * * One layer of bricks was long since removed to Cairo for building purposes. Cheops was built 2,122 years before the Christian era.’’ That “friefid” never saw the pyramids, or he has used the “ traveler s privilege” with amazing looseness. Ho “waded tourieen hundred feet before passing one of its sides.” If he did, he “waded” all the way along and pretty nearly all the w ay back, for “the Cheops is 740 feet on each aide, reduced, by the removal of its outer layers to build Cairo with, from an original length of 704. “ One layer of bricks'' has never been “removed,” principally Itecause it never existed. The Pyramids of Gixeh or Memphis, a little above Cairo on the west bluff of the Nile valley, usually called “the Pyramids,” as being the largest and best known of some sixty or seventy scattered along the river, are built of stone. There is not a brick in them, though there is a little brick wdrk in the “Sphynx,” close by- That “truthful James” had better go back to Egypt and stay there. “Cheops” rates about 2,500 B.C. Tke OHy’s Sweet-Scented Subject, A paragraph in the local columns of The News yesterday evening suggested the possibility of such a connection tween a city dUxk yard and the city “butcheries” as would, while supplying

eai’h, or nearly eight times onr population. The proportionate cost here would be £75,000, if built in the same way and under the same disadvantages. Built of wood, upon ground costing not more than one-fourth as much, our house and acorn panying pens need not exceed $40,000. Mr. Kingan, or somebody on his 'round, has an “abattoir” in operation now, where butchering is done for city dealers. So the project is not without a little practical pioneering. But if we follow the Paris fashion, we should only rent ‘killing stalls” and convenience^ and let the butchers do their own w T ork, subject to the inspection of a city supervisor, just as we now provide market houses and stalls and market clerks to attend to them. In fact, what is there more incongruous in i he idea of a city slaughter house, to be rented and ruled for the benefit of the city, than in that of & city market house, managed in the same way for the same

end?

The Paris houses have eight divisions. 1st, A general stock yard, where all market cattle are delivered and each owner may hunt out his own wdien he is ready. 2d, Stables to keep and feed stock till wanted for killing. 3d, Slaughter houses with all the appurtenances for butcher ing, skinning, cleaning and cutting up. ith, Houses for “ijendering tallow”. 5th, A plan for preparing the entrails, heads, feet and other minor parts for use. 0th, L’anks or reservoires for offal. 7th, Water •isterns or supply pipes. 8th, Sewers. Each butcher's division is made entirely separate from every other. In such an arrangement as this, an inspector can tell precisely the condition of all the meat that gets to market, and we have had reason enough here to know that this is no slight advantage. We think no intelligent man can doubt that such an establishment would be a vast advance on the little, filthy, stinking, private homes that now infest the city. The number of persons connected with it will be too small to make it worth a political squabble or available for political uses. The rent paid will sustain it and leave a profit, as it does in Europe in every case. The system is really nothing but the market-house system run back to the beginning. . It supplements and completes that by putting the whole course of meat supply under city inspection and regulation. It has decided and obvious merits, and while we are discussing the means of keeping onr health and our pork packing together, it may not be amiss to think of the practicability of keeping our market butenering and’ our atmosphere aliip clean and wholesome.

Conanltlnic the Doctor. Holmes, in the “March Atlantic” safs: queer discoloration about my forehead? yuery, a bump? Can not remember any. Might have got it against the bed post or something while asleep. Very unpleasant to

look so.

I must consult somebody, and it is nothing more than fair to give our young doctor a chance. Here goes for Doctor Benjamin Franklin. There were opthalmoscopes, and rhines copea, and otoscopes, and laryngoscopes, and stethoscopes, and thermometers, and spiioim eters, and dynamometers, and spygometers, and pleximeters, and probes and probangs, and all sorts of frightful, inqusitive, exploring contrivances, and scales to weigh you in, and tests and balances, and pumps, and elec tro-magnets, and magneto-electric machines, in short, apparatus for doing everything but turn you inside Out. Dr.*Benjamin set me down before his one window and began looking at me with such a superhuman air of sagacity, that I felt like one of those open-breasted clocks which makes no secret of their inside arrangements, and almost thought he could see through me as one sees through a shrimp or -jelly fish. First, he looked at the place inculpated, which had a sort of greenish brown color, with his naked eye, with much corrugation of forehead and fearful concentration of attention; then through a pocket glass which he earned. Then he drew back a space, for a perspective view. Then he made me put out my tongue and laid a slip of blue paper on it, which turned red and scared me a little. Next he took my wrist, and instead of counting my pulse in the old-fashioned way, he fastened a machine to it that marked all the beats on a sheet of paper, for all the world like a scale of the bights of mountains, say from Mt Tom up to Chimborazo, and then down again and then up again, and so on. In the meantime he asked me all sorts of questions about myself and all my relatives, whether we had been subject to "this or that malady, until I felt as if we must some of ns have had more or less of them, and could not feel quite sure whether elephantiasis and ceriberi and progressive locomotor ataxy had not run in the family. .

Let me describe him as he then showed: A tall man with stooped and rounded shoulders, speculiarly shaped head, fast denuding itself of hair, but with the hair that remains still as black as ever; a complexion of dull brick dust, a face puckered up like an old mask, or as if the wearer of the face was always screwing up his face to whistle, and never accomplished the feat. A small chin-tuft adorns the countenance, and let me

add that the expression on the countenance is lugubrious enough to become an artistic and

The Non of Robert Barn*. The last surviving son of Robert Burns is dead. The poet had six children, of whom three sons survived infancy. Of these Wm. Nieol Burns was the second. He lived to be 82 years of age. having been born in April. 1791. His elder brother, Robert, died in Dumfries about ten years since. His younger brother, James, died some seven years since. Like him, he was an officer in the East India Coni}>any’s service, from which he retired, after a full term of service, thirty years ago. Of the three sons of Robert Burns, all were childless except the second, James, who left two daughters. Of these, one married an Irish physician. Dr. Hutchinson, (her sister Annie never married i She bad several children, of whom one, Robert Burns Hutchinson, recently c ompleted his education at Christ Church Hospital, London. This gentleman and his sisters are the only descendants in the fourth generation of the poet. Col. Burns was not a very remarkable man; he was a qice old gentleman and when ip the army an efficient officer. His recollections of his father were not many, for he was but five years of age when the poet died in 1796. He was named after his father’s friend, William Nichol, a master in the Edinburgh High School, and one of the three celebrities named in “Willie Brewed a Peck o’ Maut” Col. Burns has been buried in the Burns mausoleum, at. Dumfries, where his father, his brothers, and his worldwidely celebrated mother, Jeannie Armoor, rest. • Turning White. White elephants and white monkeys, which are held in such religious estimation in Siam, that are gorgeously housed and fed with extreme care by specially-appointed dignitaries at the public expense, are found in the kingdom of Lao, and also in Kam-

bogia.

As they are not white in any other country where those animals exist, it is the opinion of naturalists there is some peculiarity in the climate which determines their color. Certainly in latitudes north of the 25th degree very many small animals, as rabbits, weasels, owls and some other birds, turn white in winter, but resume their characteristic color in summer in the Canadas. It is, therefore, pretty conclusive that white elephants are not a distinct species, but blanch-

ed by climate influences.

Wherever Buddhism is in the ascendant,

elephants are sacred, especially if white.having the rank of kings by the laws of Siam. When his majesty dies his soul is supposed to take }>ossession of one of-them. No reigning monarch of th&t benighted region e\er presumes to ride one, because he would be guilty of riding on the back of a royal pre-

Spunky Ladies.*

The Bangor Whig says a few days since while the driver of a stage "was doing some business in the poqj office of a down river town, his horses took fright and commenced to run, whereupon two ladies, who were alone in the coach, crept out of the windows on either side, crawled to and upon the box, and together hauled up the horses. This done, they turned round and went back for the driver, who was in a terrible fright lest his team and passengers should meet with a

general smash-up.
