CONDITION or THE METROPOLIS ToDAY.-This
Is the nrst OF May; but as 1t Il Sunday, there can
DO no moving, and . comparative quiet must
perforce exist throughout tho city. Could We,
however, Asmodeus like, unroof the dwellings
In Gotham, what queer sights we might witness,
and, above all, what Q vast amount of petty
misery we should have to commiserate. Thou
sands Of homes in disorder, the inmates remain
ing indoors because all their "things' are
packed up. On all sides dust, dirt and worry.
Beds rolled up, carpets ditto, and articles Of
the richest and most expensive nature lying in
proximity to those applied to baser uses. Pots
and pans rubbing against mirrors and ormolu.
Rich damask curtains trodden upon by the
carmen, who have set down all the heavy
and annoyance. In some instances those NOV
ing in and those moving out have come in con.
tact and We find their household gods inextri-
eably mixed The servants are sullen, and
Justly SO. They are aware that to-day is but
lull in the storm. and that early tomorrow
morning n mus oil break out anew. People
will force in and others fight out, and there will
be strewed shout The homes lately go comfort
able - ruins Of many valued ariolea The
ladies, now that the moving must be 'dose, will
regret that they gave mp their houses and com
plain bitterly that they will never feel at home
elsewhere. The men will thank their stars
that business calls then away, and will find it
convenient to breakfast and dine ut Delmonico'h
For period there will be anger and ill-feeliny
Fervading 50 many usually happy circles. and
oil because people must move on May day.
Custom becomes law in many cases; but we
should learn by experience to- break this custom
when irkseme. 1t is apaccerted fact that three
movings are 40 disastrous az one FIVE. Why,
then, will people, whom they have comfortable
homes, leave'them 80 rashlys We csanot un-
dernGaad the moving mania, and condemn it as
