PEY0LnTInM

We seeIn o. be on the verge of an Industrial
Revolution Everywhere is the cooperative
movement discussed, and tho hopes held out
to the abOrer are almost electrifying Two
things are favorable and will be noted by those
who have seen mahy hopeful schemes perish.
One is, there are no attacks on the Social Sys-
TEN, and the family relation is as firm as the
ancient rocks. The other is the conviction that
no cooperation is possible if members are idle,
incorporate or even immoral. In self-protec-
ton, and in common prudence, only the best
materials will bo selected Thus does co0pera-
ton arise TO the dignity of moral reform and
even of religious movement. Beside thus,
there are startling results in quarter quite
unexpected. The prOprietOrs of heavy manu-
featuring establishments are aroused. Antci-
pating that labor may. become still more un-
certain, some of the heaviest firms are propOs-
ing consolidation, that they may have oil the
advantage which abundant capital can bestOw.
They know what it has done. Some, already
have consolidated.
Another important movement is about to
take place in this city. Sufficient capital has
been raised to start a cooperative Importing
and JObbing Dry Goods House, and it only
remains to complete the details Of the organ
izaton. The outlines Of the plan are to en-
plOy experienced managers, and statesmen fitted
for the place, who now are in our large estab-
lshments, but who have no prospect OF rising
not because they have not qualification, but
because there are no vacancies. There are said
to be salesmen in large houses in this city
who, having percentage on their sales, make
S2OOOO n year Some few are making even
more. The location Of the new house will not
be in marble building, but where rent is
moderate Silk sold in Centre-st will be as
valuable in Michigan as if bought in Broad
way. by such economies il is expected that
at least 100000 year can be saved, and this
sum will enable the projectors to sell goods
cheap COuntE merchants will be expected to
become stockholders, or if they do not, it is
in the scheme that they will be such, in part,
for they are to draw dividends according to
the amount Of their purchases. Meanwhile,
capital has a share, and the clerks and mana
gers another share. 1t is thought that If tho
concern is wisely managed the final result Will
he that oil other establishments in time will be
forced into tho measure. Then hosts OF middle
men, commercial travellers, and high-salaIled
clerks will be displaced.
One might think this enterprise unconnected
with the interest of the labOrer. Not so. First,
tho laborer VIII be able to buy cheaper goods.
Then the house will be Immediately connected
with the manufactures. All that is needed to
complete the circle is that the manufacturing
establishment should be conducted by cooper

When Blubb or a Stobbs, having made a

the charmed circles of aIistocratic life, and 10
bury his original meanness in everlasting 0biy-

his plobeian patronymic for some high sounding
name, like Fitzclarence or De Courcy, however
we may laugh at it, is at least Ineligible.
But the passion for changing tho names Of
towns and villages, to which we Americans are
40 much addicted, is not only silly, but incOm-
prohonsible. We sweep away our old Dutch
and Indian words, which, IL not al

politicians OF rich mill l-owners, who a genera

localities oil about New-YOrk, memorable in
Revolutionary history or immortalized in the
pages of Irving and our otherNbest authors,
are rapidly putting on shoddy disguises, and
in a century moro may become objects of
antiquarian search. A littlo while ago some
vandals laid profane hands upon Spuyten

tie it by we forget what modern and
utterly unmeaning name; but, thank fortune,
they were defeated. Tubbyhook-not pretty

Dobbs' Ferry belongs to history. 1t is in the
Revolutionary records, and if we lose it
leaf will seem to have been torn
out OF our chronicles. Beside, there Is
pleasant flavor in the name itself, q
suggestion of shady lanes, comfortable old
farm houses, cool springs, and all the sweetness
of q rural Summer, while Paulding, which is
proposed as tho substitute inevitably brings up
to mind staring railroad station and brick
grocery. If we must honor our great men by
making them stand sponsors for our villages,
there are surely new settlements enough to
supply any reasonable demand. In Difference
TO history and common sense let us keep the
old names as they are.

A Cable dispatch from London, received here
early this morning, announces news of a
startling character. Last night a mob at
tackled Tory meeting at st. James Hall,
stormed the platform, and erected red flag
surmOunted by cap of Liberty. There was
much fighting, we are told, and there have been
many arrests, but we are not informed whether
the soldiers have been called out. The dis
patch says the attacking party was :" Re-

sufficient TO indicate that the trouble has
grown out of the Reform agitation. In what
way it has done 90. however. We arc left to
