Music IN THE CENTRAL PARK We are glad
to see that the music in the Central Park on
Saturday evenings is to be kept up. This
afternoon there will be an excellent band
and no doubt numerous attendance. Why
not have it on Sunday evening? It would
be one of the most innocent and delight
full recreations for our citizens on Sunday.
Good music within doors is fine for those who
can pay for it; but music for the million, music
in the open air for all who have ears to hear or
souls to appreciate, is something better still.
The Opera is civiizipg Intellectual amuse-
ment but it cannot be compared for its bene-
fetal effects with the music of the open air on
the minds Of the masaes of our population. If
it be true that Emusic hath charms to soothe
the savage breast" its great mission as q
civilizer lie among the comparatively uneducated
and rough population. What is it that refnes
the French workman with the blouse and makes
him the equs], in politeness, intelligence and re.
ineInent, to what are called the upper classes?
1t is his free access to the fine arts music, paint
ing and sculpture. This great social quality in
which the French exceed us, with all our liberty,
is the result of high civilization. In this we
are making rapid strides, and will soon be equal
to them Already we are far in advance Of the
English.

The WATERING PIACEs-APPRoACHING TERM
NATION OF THE SEAsoN.-It will be seen, from the
letters of our watering place correspondents that
life in those latitudes is becoming rather prosaic-
If their effusions reflect at all faithfully the en-.
joyments to be met with there, we must say that
dulness seems to be the prevailing influence.
With the exception of the flip given to
the Newport people by the visit of the New York
Yacht Club, the routine life of that once CAV
spot has been unbroken by single stirring Incl
dent. At Saratoga, Cape May, Sharon, and
others of the fashionable summer resorts, the
general complaint is that their vitality has de-
parted from them Extravaganza in dress has
produced its concomitant evils-exclusiveness
and pretension. The snobbishness that walks on
stills cannot, Of course, descend to hearty and
innocent enjoyment
With 30 few attractions to keep people at the
watering places, we may expect that our absen-
tees will soon be glad to return home. New
York, with its pleasant temperature, its magnif-
cent bay, its charming suburbs, and its noble
Park, offers attractions which are nowhere else
to be met with Add to these its summer thea.
tres and gardens, its musical festivals its rural
concerts and its picnic excursions and we have
an aggregate OF seasonable amusements which
renders visit here during the summer one of
the most delightful trips that stranger can
make, and that certainly ought to render the city
tolerable to it's habitual residents II the latter
prefer being bored to death at the watering places
we can only pity them and set the fact down to
the necessity which they deem themselves placed
under of being out Of town at particular pc.

No LESSON LIKE HUMILIATIoN-OUT OF De-
FEAT CONES SrRENGTH.-We publish elsewhere
significant article from the Austrian Gazette on
the present relations Of that government towards
Europe Taken in conjunction with the tone of
the French journals towards their late adversary
it establishes the fact that the entente cor1;qle be-
tween Austria and France is as complete as
pledges can make it. So much the better for
the Italians, go much the worse for the govern
ments which are indirectly menaced in this ar
ticle. The eulogiums lavished on the Emperor
Of the French, the determination expressed on
the part of Austria to fulfil faithfully her engage
ments with him, augur well for a satisfactory
settlement Of the Italian question. 1t is evident
that Francis Joseph will not allow such tri1ing
points Of difficulty as the restoration of the petty
Italian soveregns to interfere with the new bonds
OF anity into which he has been forced, but which
he seems to wear go kindly He is determined,
be says to find in the reform Of old abuses and
the Development Of the internal resources
Of his empire the strength that was
wanting to him in the late struggle
For the future the governments of Europe
Cd the forces which they can create out of
their own administrative abilities This promises
well for the prospects of Venice. If good gov
erpmept is to be recognized by Austria as the
rock of strength which other nations have found
II, we do not see why that Disconnected member
of the new italian Confederation should not en-
joy equal happiness and prosperity with the con-
stiiuticnsl States Thus the much abused treaty
of Villafranca seems likely TO work out the OBJ
jects of the campaign as efectually as if the war
had been carried into Germany and Hungary
and Europe plunged again into the horrors Of a
general coIvulsion. 1t remains to be seen
whether the embittered feelings which Francis
Joseph seems to indulge towards his former allies
wal keep him long in the new and creditable
path which be has chalksd out for himself.

A CHANCE FOR THE ARTIsTs.-Tho Committee
of the Mechanics Institute Fair intend pub
fishing an Illustrated Catalogue of the Ex-
hibtion and they propose to all the artist ex-
hibitors to get up their own cards, furnishing
them ready printed on paper, and page cores
ponding to that used in the book, and the Com
mittee will bind them in the book without
charge to the artists. To those exhibitors who
desire to illustrate-by engravings, cuts, lth-
ographs &C., their work exhibited--the Com
mittee offer the most liberal inducements.
Their should be splendid catalogue produced
one to be kept as an advertising record Of
the proceedings-worthy to be laid upon the
parlor table or the Office desk--to be read both
as an advertiser and an instructor in the arts
and their application to manufacturers and
commerce. The artists of the city should see
to it, that the publication be worthy Of them.
