esyrg the land to experd its further violence on the
ocean. New York, in the neghborhoOd Of the Bat
teIy, South Brooklyn and Staten Island were exempt
from its ravsses.
The STORM OF TIE Observation-Disclosures was
rot yisited by drop OF bresth OF air yester
dsy. Five miles from that city the rsr descended IN
torrents, the wind blowing perfect gale sll the time
TIE storm did ro reach farther than TarrstoSn, and
though severe it did not prevail TO such extent
in the city.
SAVE The BoYs.-If ore will take walk down
Nassau Fulton, Ann and other streets OF this neigh
borbooi lste at night or toward morning. ne will ind
if be will take the trouble 10 look at the bottom OF
mspv of the steps leading TO easements boys who find
10 these pisces their nights lodgings Some of them
have 10 other homes, and are merely unfortunstes
Others prefer these comfortable, but more con-
fined quarters, ard only vagrsuts others still,
whether they have better homes not choose these
places because, in their criminal courses they answer
their purpose better than respectable and fixed
abiding places-snd these are thieves.
As question Of political economy, putting ide al
humane impulses, il is worth while to these boys,
or even fair per ceutsge of them for they are TO go
to the m.kirg far they court of the men of this
city half dozen years hence They will all have the
tight TO vote at the next Pres ienal election but one
and they will help US mske-psrhaps make for us-our
Mayors and Aldermen long before that time comes
round Would it not be best that somebody should
dive down into these dark stsirways where so much
nascent wickedpess ssd.ers through the hot Summer
nights. and drag il out into the light Should not
some effort be made to turn these boys, who
bound straight to the devil, somewhat in another
direction if it were only little way One
man we understand, Mr.. Revel who is connected
IN some way with the Five Points Mission, has under
taken to do something in work loudly csled for
and has met with success. The unfortunate are
generally clad CROUCH to go with him. and the needy
yagrant can sometimes be persuaded when home IN
the country and promising future are held out to
them. But the criminal he cannot even catch, much
less persuade, for green fields and kindly farmers
houses have no allurements for them compared with
the delights Of tbievng and other adventures to which
they devote their vicious young energies. For Thu,
class therefore but little dope except through the
aid OF the police-snd Mayor Temsnn could not do bet
ter than take the matter in hand But for the rest,
great deal can and should be done, and the who,
like Mr.. Revell, undertakes such work, would re-
ceve not merely countensnce but aid, To save few
hundreds even of these boys during the Summer would
be an act of large and far.sghted bsnevolence..
STRAwBERRIEs-A STANDARD MEASURE WASTED
is It because it is small matter that city
fathers cannot provide standard Of measure for
strawberries thatwoud open all eyes with astonsh
small fruits The city is now consuming amount of
ment if could be correctly stated The sum of money
daily paid by this city for strawberries is enormous
We guess it is $4,000 day, that is only "a cest
head for the people in and around it that buy straw
berries. Yet, with all this great interest pending
actually have regulation whatever OF the standard
Ct measure TIE fruit is sod sometimes by the quart
and toeraby ia measure aud sometimes by the box of
doubtful measure, and frequently by the bowl of
yery uncertain messure but almost wholly by the bas
ket of all sorts Of measure and frequently varying so
much in size that one of mans baskets will I'LL
three of another mans. Probably tue average is
about 10 the quart-l2S to the bushel-and average
pros to the consumer, at this me say cents bas-
ket-S5 u bushe The baskets sold at cents
generally smaller sized or damsged berries. We tried
al experiment yesterday with baskets out two crates
stardpg eide by eide at grocery and both for sale at
the "a ne price four cents basket, and found that in
ole the berries Of three bsskets weighed pound and
in the other took the coDe nts offour baskets yet
the similarity OF appearance was such that person,
unless very skiul in the art of measurement BY the
eye, would be Just likely to take one kind as the
other. Here, then, is a difference oy the only true
standard Of measurement, the balance of three TO
our-one person getting Gst much for twelve cents,
as another gets for sixteen. In many cases the differ.
cree is still greater, and the appearance by measure
s very deceptive, the only true standard s weight.
1t would be very cay to pass an ordinance, one which
would work no hardship TO the producers, but
promote honesty among them requiring al Strawberries
to be cold baskets OF half pound each, pin of
fo1feitue for violation of the ordinance.
Bulls HEAD.-The supply of beef cattle this week
il likely TO prove % much above the demand that
prices will probably range ceLt pourd for the meat
lower than last week. There reported last evening
at The great cattle market in Forty fourth street, )r
sale this week over 100 head and some other small
lots were expected and We have rarely seen duler
prospect Tuesday evening than the present. Very
few buyers present, ard We heard some of them
acknowledge that they bought cattle at $40 81
head less than that d,y week. It is not probable
that snytbing can be sold at this market higher
than $40 a cxt., ard certainly some OF the sales
Yesterday evening were below that figure. Two or
three droves of as fne steers any 10 market
were taken to 60 into The country, and We wish that
more CT tie surplus could take the same course. We
hear of sales to butchers Bergen Of 400 head which
with the small stables added TO the stock at Forty
fourth street, will make up sbou. 1900 head for this
week That will account for the fall OF price. 1t is
possible, however, not withdrawing the gloomy pros
poets yesterday that the market msy rally today.
