DECLINE OF ORATORY.

Every circumstance has its law and every age its dis
tinctive character The swords great scene is spec
tacle of rapid changes Tho age of chiyary, according
to Mr. Burke, is gone So is the age of oratory. We
have fallen on evil times, far eloquencc is

is almost wholly unknown among us. The age is COM
mercial and utiltarian and It's influence is extended
through all ranks of life The profession of law which
both in ancient and modern times has produced very
eminent orators is becoming less and less liberal art
and more and business pursuit. SO far as the
interests of the community concerned this may
be very we'll But the fact is obvious and undeniabe
that the bar is longer the theatre of great eoquence

thought the Doctors sermons were better suited
to Garrisonian Convention than the pulpit of a
fashionable church. If you cant agree, gentle

CENTRAL PARK-The Mayor has done a very
good thing, in spite Of the solicitations of Mr..
A. II Green, President, and Mr.. ABB. c. Gray.
Commissioner Of the Central Park, In refusing
to give his approval TO the appropriation Of
$500 600, except upon the condition that the
loan should be raised and paid to the Commits
sioners only at the rate of $4,000 per month.
as appears by the advertisement of the Comp.
trcller, inviting proposals for the Goth inst,
in another column of the HERALD. Whilst this
monthly payment will be fully sufficient for all
the purposes Of the Park, this mode Of raising
the loan will save three per cent TO the city. II
the whole amount were raised In one sum IA
would be deposited In the Bank of Commerce
selected by the Commissioners as their de-
pository-which allows only three per cent for
the use of the money, which would not be
wholly wanted for year; and, as the city pays
six per cent upon the loan. there would be an
actual loss to the city Of three per cent. As
the Mayor sad, he twas opposed to borrowing
at six and lending at three per cent" This
movement Of the Mayor is also important as the
first blow by the city government at the selfish
private and partisan interest which, hitherto.
has kept the working majority of the Park
Commissioners together. When will the Legis.
lature cease TO usurp the chartered rights OF
the city in selecting men to perform duties
that are strictly local'--or, II they will do so.
when will they appoint men to city trusts who
will regard city interests, and not their own
