Coop DlGEsTIoN.-A foreign reviewer
thinks that the advantages of good diges-
ton cannot bc oyer-cstilnated. He says:
"Men who succeed need not have any
subtle minds, OF brilliant imaginalionS, or
marvellous powers Of industry. Some in
dusty, some Imagination, and some acute
ness, are, doubtless, indispensable. But the
one Indispensable factor is good diges-
ton. The laborious man or the lndustri-
Gus man is often Of an atrablliOus temporal
ment, gloomy and austege: or he is ncr-
vous, hdgctty, anxious, and irettul. In
neither case is he successful. lie may con-
sumo gallons Of midnight oil on some very
clever or very learned book, but after
being u three weeks lion, he viii find him
self supplanted in the homage OF society
by his own book, or by some sharp, quick
witted, hand spark, who picks his brains,
repeats his sayings, appropriates his facts
or his differences, and gains all the credit
that is really due to the genius and indus
try OF disconnected dySpeptic. Who IS
the successful man! The man with good
stomach, ample barrel, broad face, glow
ing cheeks, and ruddy smile, which may
denote good humor, sympathy, or perfect
Indifference. Who does not know the
capital good fellow Of society, with his
rosy gillS, habitual smile, and white teeth,
his little inuendoeS, and his significant
looks, indicating that he knows your latest
secret and last-tormed plans!

THE GRAND HOTEL or New 1ORK.-The
great Cranston Hotel, which is to be built
on Fifth avenue opposite the entrance Of
Central Park, and about which the public
has heard more or less from time to time,
will be commenced in about six weeks, or
as soon as the season will admit. The
structure is then to be completed, ready
for occupancy, within the shortest possible
period consistent with the proper cxecu-
ton Of the work. The plans and details
have all been completed by Mr.. Gilman,
the architect; the stock has been nearly
all subscribed, and the trustees will soon
hold a meeting for the purpose Of giving
the elegant structure 4 name. 1t will pro-
badly be called the Grand Hotel Of New
York.
1t will be remembered that this hotel is
TO be two hundred and one feet wide by
four hundred and twenty feet in length,
covering thirty-four lots, or eighty-tour
thousand superficial feet. 1t will be seven
stories high, crowned with a ma'tSard, or
French roof, and will contain one hundred
and seventy-iour private parlorS, six hun
dred chambers, single and in suites, besides
over one hundred other rooms.
The size and style of this immense build
ing will exceed that Of the Grand Hotel in
Paris, making il the finest structure of the
kind in the world. The exterior of this
building, rich with facldes, pavilionS, high
roofs, etc, will he truly beautiful and I'M
posing, contrasting wonderfully with the
square masses Of marble and stone known
as the Astor House and the Metropolitan
md Fifth typnra Hotels.
The plan Of the house is for the accom-
mediation Of large number OF families
who wish TO occupy separate suites OF
rooms. but there Will bc single room, for
transient guests. Il is TO hc for this city
what F,ulou'S or Mivart's is for London, or
She Hotel dc Westminster for Paris.
The most distinguishing feature OF the
plan j. a grand central court or corr
dhoimou, covered with glass roof, and
from which alone access Is obtained to the
whole building. This cJf is entered by
two Dori-c0c,ercv, cach twenty-SiX feet
wide, one on Forty-ninth and one on Six
licth street. On one side OF the co"F there
will be the safe DE- reception, thirty by
forty-siX feet.
Eight spacious staircases will lead TO
different parts OF the house, and two lifts
will run from The ground floor 10 the sixth
story. # is expected that the location of
this hotel so far up town will causc this
part Of the city to grow rapidly, hand
some private residences and churches
springus up on all sides.-Nclc York 3D.

Sensible Dissertation upon Political
Economy.
From the New York Times,

from the We" OiA iIllNS'
Suppose Congress should declare that
every pound Of meat should contain TWEEN
~ ounces; that every barrel OF flour should
hold 1--WE hundred pounds; that every ton
Of coal should weigh twenty-five hundred
weight; would the same money buy any
more meat, or -four, or coal, than il does
now Yet the case is precisely the same
with the price Of a days labor. Illinois
mas an eight-hour law. Employers now
hire labor by Tie hoiw, and not ~ the day.
That will inevitably be the case Wherever
4 similar law is passed. LaborcrS may
..strike" and refuse 10 work. but 5" they
nav. and do now, against low wages or
long time: but it makes no difference.
They work now for the market rate Of
wages, not because they like II, tut be-
cause they must, OF starve; and they Will
DO the same thing then.
1t is curious to see how much time and
labor is wasted in efforts TO do what can't
ne donc--to change H'pys Ivy changing
names. Politicians are constantly trying
this, not because they expect TO do 1t, but
because they hope 10 make people 1et,rc
they will. And it is also curious, ana a
little melancholy, to see how oiten they
succeed.
if eight hours is made legal days
work, the first result will DC that the pay
for days work will he lessened accord
ingly. Nothing but the sheerest folly can
expect anything else. II any man expect,
to ret the same pay for eight hours labor
that he would get for ten, he viii most
certainly be disappointed. lie must first
