CITY I7IEMS

Tag CENTRAL PARK.-A Sunday visit to Central
Park at this season must convince the stuDbOrhes'
cavler of the beneficial influence Of that great and
beautiful public work In one minute after leaving
the rough rocks, the muddy bottoms, and the teem-
ing bowels of upper Sixth avenue, the visitor finds
himself amid charming landscape, and surrounded
with the most agreeable evidences Of rural taste.
Sunday was bright, cheerful day, and the crowds
moving along the Mall, under the bridges, on the
Terrace, and through the winding walks of the Ram
bic, were very large. The universally good bebav.
Tor of children and sdults and the respect paid to
the admOntiOns against walking on tho grass, or
plucking flowers OF twigs, were very noticeable. In
the course Of long rsInbe through the Park we did
rot see single act of Vandalism committed, and
cannot but think that in very shorttime our American
crowds will be as oreFyas those of Europe, without
recourse to the stringent pains and penalties enforced
abroad The foliage in the Park has fairly begun its
Aulumnal change, and we may now see the thickly-
wooded Ramble rising out of the CLASSY waters Of the
lake 10 leafy robes of gorgeous dyes Side by side,
crimson beeches golden elms, silvery willows, and
dark-reen rs reflect their varied tints in the water
and ia charming confusion blend hoir branches from
base to summit Of the rocky hill. Even to those who
have watched the Park through all its successive
rtages of development it is very hard to realize that
only three years ago the site of 30 much beautiful
landscape was wilderness Of novels, and covered
with nuisances Of the most disgusting nature. We
must sgain suggest TO the Commissioners the propr-
ETY. of establishing at some favorable point Swiss
chalet or dairy, where visitors may procure draugh
of pure, sweet milk, or II luncheon of homemade
bread and cheese. For furnishing milk aud cream,
the pretty Adeney cows would seem most appro-
pirate, while for cheese-mskiDg it would be well to
have either thoroughbred Devons or grade Short
horns We should also like to see one or two parks
Of American deer and in the Lake specimens OF the
woodduck, diver, and other varieties Of waterfowl

This cord began to descend from the ring to the
floor, lowered by the mcrcess hands of dozen con
sIrators who contended for the post of vengeance.
Stand back there" commanded St. John, 'there ore
regular officers for that duty"
The crowd retired from the wall leaving the cord in
the hands Of two men, who threw off their masks and
revealed two savage vsages, one Of a white man the
other negro.
I"Ah! will they hang the wretch cried Viola when
she saw four men seize the miserable and drag him

''Gag him. exclaimed St. John calmly, and in a mo.
men the traitors cries for mercy forced down his
htoat with great sad Of dry sponge held in his "a
piag mouth by cravat tied his white and horr
big face.
The doomed man already suffered all the horrors of
uocation, for the sponge became saturated with the
moisture of his tongue and mouth it sweled his Jaws

He could n0t speak his prayers for mercy, but his
rolling eyes and distorted features alive with the

A Fatal EeeIusiOn.

"Delay is dangerous" is a remark al
most reduced to an axiom. Several months
ago the New York Courier and Enquirer
stated that all the Republicans wanted was
delay on the part Of the border States, and
their ends could be accomplished. That
paper said that its party could afford to pro-
mise anything if by that means Virginia
and her sister border Slave States could be
induced to postpone action until after Lin
coin was inaugurated Anything tangible
the Republicans would not give, but pro-
misses would be doled out by the scores. :
Upon this policy Seward is acting. He has
deluded the Country into the belief that he
is conservative !! Mark what we say, that
his policy is to secure the power Of the Fede-
"a, government, and after that to use the
persuasion Of bullets instead of words. It
is a fatal de,usion to entertain the thought
that Seward is going to be Conservative
His whole public life utterly repudiates such
an inference. He is seducing Virginia into
his meshes, and it will be found, when too
late, that bis sole purpose has been to pre-
vent prompt action on the part of the State
Convention until Lincoln is inaugurated,
when any demonstration by that body
looking to secession, will be responded to
by U. S. military force in the city ofRich-
mond.

Aims of Politicians.

It is very evident from current indica-
tions that the efforts of the principal actors
in the peace movement are being directed
IA ore to the formation of party organiza-
tior which will be sufficiently powerful to
succeed in getting control Of the government
in 1864 than to the settlement of our ma
tional difficulties upon firm and final
basis, which the Vaccinations ofpcliticians
cannot shake. We have heard it said that
the candidates for the next Presidency and
Vice Presidency would be two dish2 guish-
ed Democrats, both of whom are eminenSly
entitled to the confidence of the Nation
But in our opinion, men and parties should
be totally ignored until some satisfactory
adjustment is effected. When peace has
been restored to the country, thea, and not
until then, will it be time to think Of the
successors of Lincoln and Hamlin. We are
fearful that unselGsh patriotism is being
made secondary to personal ambition, in the
efforts that are nov being pat forth by many.
If this conjecture is right, then we can ex-
pect 30 satisfactory disposition of our ma
tional troubles, until there are two govern
ments formed out of the present Union.-
Better barry every politician and every par
| ty in the land. never 20 be resurreeted, than
the vast interest of this great country and
its innocent people, should be made sub
servient to the sordid ends Of unprincipled
fplace-hunters.
