Ier than has been expected.
No QroRux.-In consequence Of the rain the Coun-
cilmen did not get quorum yesterday They meet
this afternoon.
BRoApwAY.-The nightly sweeping of Broadway
will commence tonight, il the weather is favorable.
The committee having the work in charge par icalarly
request all tenants to sweep their stores and sidewalks
at night 20 that the refuse may be taken away. 1t is
important that this should be done, since morning
sweeping of all the stores would foil the best efforts to
keep the street free from dust.
FRENCH CONFECTIONERY By The AMERICAN TRACT
SocIrrY.-The American Tract Society, we observe,
has opened department Of French Confectionery
This new branch of evangelical labor deserves word
of notice. The Tract House in Nassau street, as some
of our city readers may know, embraces four eligible
stores one Of which ia occupied by the Society tse
ss depository and salesroOm, while the three others
are annually rented, and yield handsome revenue to
the Societys Treasury One Of these stores has just
been rented by the officers Of the Society, aud is now
open as a Hgvor.stcp, under the name OF French
Confectionery. We seldom go into the depository,
and have never been into tie confectionery but we
learn thing or two Of both from the advertisements
in both windows. Printed bills, on one side, show us
"what Evans elical Christians approve" and printed
cards on the ether eide show us what, We prcsu ne
Evangelical Christians relish for there 0re Evan
eelical Christians" who sOmetimes relish wnat
they don't "spprove." On the one side we have
evangelical tracts, and on the other evangelical
liquors. On the one ride We see advertised, BILE
Arguments for Temperance" and On the other
"Choice Wines Liquors and Cigars ID one window
"Kredpes Address on the Effects Of Ardent Spirits,
and in the other the French Confectoners Invitation
fret to "try the spirits" add then see what the
"effects" are. In one store the Society exhibits
"The Manufacture of Ardcnts Spirits and in the
ether it carries on the vending of the same We see
on the right hand SewaIl against InemPerance, and
on the left we might the same Sewau on bender
On one side the debates Of Conscience on the Zee
of Ardent Spirits" and on the other, we see those
"debates. practically decided. One window al
legee, "Four Reasons against the Use OF Al
coholic Liquors." which the other window ex-
plains to mean, first "Schiedam Schnapps,
second. Lemonade with Sticks, third, "Londou
Ccrdial." and fourth, g Brandy Gum-D'oPs'
ON The one hand like writing ON the wall, we see
"The Rewards Of Drunkenness" and on the otherthe
Interpretation thereof which is ia. annual rents from
confectionery draD-shops. From ore eide we hear
warning "Sgn the Pledge" aud from the other an TO-
yitation to "gh.,lipgs" IL one ear we hear Set
Down thst Glass and in the other Philadelphia
lager beer" in one ear Don't Unchain the Tiger
and in the other pheasant Summer Drinks" 90 one
ride the Tract Society announce One Glass More,
and on the other they 60 in and take it.
But there are other tracts ether subjects, in the
Tract Society's window. For instance there is one
"a Strange Thing" atdthere is another "Willt Ever
be Known1" Then there i also The Bold Bias
pbemer," and a ccmpauion-piece The Necessity OF
Repentance. To these fo2r tracts, the other window
does not pretend to offer MATCH The ast mentioned
may not be wholly on side; but 60 tar as we have
been able to Sec there is adequate parallel in the
dram shop wirdew TO the Soc:etys Necessity for
Repentance
In addition TO the above there two other con-
spcuous tracts ore Of which the Tract Society itsei
should read without delay while the other should be
given to its Fre ch conf ctioner; they are The IA
tai Mistake" and $40 Retailer in Ardent Spirits.
In the mean time perhaps there is need OF aoo'hef
Committee q Investga alton to inquire into the con-
stiutionay Of the new office Of French Con'eetionef
to the American Tact Society.
