The question of locating the Post Ofice in tho
City Hall Park has been pretty well ventilated,
and il seems to find favor in no disinterested
quarter. In the Common Council report has
been presented against it and laid on the
table. The public generally ask by what
right the Corporation offered TO sell portion
Of the peoples property for half million dol
lars which is worth, as every one knows, from
four to six times that amount The ground
upon which the Park Bank Is being erected,
contiguous TO the new HERALD building, cost
about four hundred thousand dollars, and the
lot Is not one-tenth as large as the slice Of the
Park proposed 70 be transferred to the general
government for Post Office purposes at five
hundred thousand dollars. Apart from the
pecnniary question involved there are sanitary
motives which render this selection for site
for public buildings particularly Objectionable.
The City Hall Park is one OF the lungs OF the
city--a breathing place and grand venti-
lator for the down town population. In
stead of encumbering it With piles Of
brick and marble it should be made
even more open than ic is by cutting
AWAY the trees and converting 1t into
grand plaza, such, for instance, as the
Place de Ia Concorde, in Paris, or Trafalgar
square, in London. IF the Park Is to he applied
to any other purpose than this, why not gene
raj terminus for the city railroads--which now
concentrate in the streets at that point, to the
great inconvenience Of traffic and contrary to
law--be ERECTED there. which would pay rent

Labor TreubIcs-ssrikos and Trades Unions.
The house carpenters of the city are striking
for higher wages The masons, plasterers and
housepainters are doing the same. The move
ment runs through the whole class Of trades
concerned in building and is due to the sup
posed activity in the erection of new ediices
in the city that may be incident to the opening
season. These strikes either indicate or antici-
pate greater demand in our midst for certain
kinds Of skilled labor, and 80 far are health
full sign. That they have no deeper cause and
are not due to any greatly deranged state Of
the relations between labor and capital is evil
dent from the fact that while labor of one class
is thus demanding greater price other classes
Of labor are submitting to reduction. Ship.
builders and shpjoiners have just lost por-
ton Of an increase In wages secured some
months since. and there is an agitation among
employing tailors that Ia likely to reduce the
rates paid in their trade. In other trades also
there is a tendency in the same direction.
II is to be hoped that the striking trades will
take notice Of the important facts involved in
the above statements. No useful industry is
ever oppressively underpaid in great city
like ours nor can any trade successfully make
unreasonable requirements. II there is any
real basis for the strikes IL is not that builders
are paid below fair average, but merely that
there is present scarcity here of these kinds
oflabor. That scarcity can only be temporary;
and by holding out for unreasonable demands
the strikers will glut the market with labor
from other quarters, and may end by
losing some weeks employment and leav-
ing wages just where they are. Thus
the carpenters here are now demanding
four dollars day, while the same trade is
only paid from two and half to three dollars
in a city 80 near as Philadelphia; and the
highest paid in certain parts of Canada is
under two dollars, and In some cases runs
down as low as dollar and q quarter. II is
the same with plasterers and painters. Wages
rule lower in the neighboring States than the
rates demanded by the strikers. The course
of events with The shipbuilding trades quoted
above should warn the builders. The ship
joiners and others engaged in building ships
struck year ago and secured such an cx-
travagant advance as to nearly paralyze the
industry by which they lived. The result Is
that wages are now going down again. Let
the builders take care that they do not gain
their demands at the expense Of that regular
and constant employment that will alone make
them valuable.
Trades unions are not so serious complica-
ton Of difficulties between labor and capital
in this country as they have recently become
In England. They are, however, not without
their influence, and here, as everywhere else.
that influence Is pernicious. They are organ

The Two Dromiss Of the Associated Press.
Simonton, the agent Of the Associated Press,
sends us q long rigmarole for publication
about one Of the news reporters hired by the
association and In reference 10 his own con-
duct as agent We have no space in the
HERALD for any such rubbish, and 1t is great
piece Of impertinence in Simonton to suppose
that the matter is Of any interest to MS or any
of our readers. He evidently presumes upon
our indulgence in allowing the two Dromios,
Craig and himself, to abuse each other in three
or four letters apiece through the columns Of
the HERALD; but we did 90 for the purpose Of
showing that neither Of them was at for the
position Of Associated Press agent We care
nothing about Wilson, the London reporter,
or Simonton, the New York agent, or for the
Associated Press cable dispatches either. The
latter are of no importance to us, whole
batch Of them being seldom worth as much as
a single HERALD special. But we insist that
while Wilson and Simonton are paid salaries
for doing work for the Associated Press the
former shall not 60 into the advertising agency
business, and the latter shall conine himself to
q proper discharge of his duties and keep him
self out of the newspapers.

trade--tbe no;siest, LATEST, most conceited
and obstinate, though often shrewd, man being
the chosen one Of every set. These become
the presidents, secretaries and, above all, the
ireasurers Of the societies draw salaries from
their funds, manage their more tractable fellows
at their pleasure sud live and thrive upon the
trouble they create. II we should have any
permanent arrest Of labor among the builders
and consequent distress, IL will be due only to
the obstinate counsel given by such coteries
but it is SO much the nature Of our people to
think and act for themselves that we do not
believe these organizations can have sufficient
influence in the present case to do serious
harm.

Liberals before Queretare.
The news from Mexico would be important
n were more reliable. Imperial reports say
that Eseobedo had been attacked in Celoya,
where he had taken up q position, and CON-
pletely routed by Mejia, who had sailed forth
from Queretaro for the purpose. The defeat,
1t Is further reported, was Immediately fol-
lowed up, and San Luis :Potosi. Juarez's tenn
porary seat of government, was occupied
ny the victors Escobedo's army, it will
be remembered. although numbering only
twenty or twenty-five thousand men,
WINS extended over sixty miles In . cir
cult round the city. Amy one point in the
line was, therefore, necessarily weak and the
imperialists, completely cut of and sadly de-
moralised, were probably bent upon despe-
rate effort to force their way through the
enemy's lines. On the other hand the news, if
true or reliable, should have reached us by
way Of Matamoros sooner than by way Of Vera
Cruz, where it was compelled to pass through
the besieging force Of the liberals.
II, however, the news is really true, 1t only
complicates the affairs Of the unhappy Haps-
burglar and his mimic empire. It. merely
delays his final discontinue. 1t may give him
and his followers renewed hope and confidence
for time, but IL need not give the friends of
constitutional liberty any doubt or anxiety
for q moment.

The National Observatory mt washington.

The National Observatory mt Washington.
The volume of astronomical and meteoro!ogi-
cal observations made at the United States
and which has just been issued from the gov
ernment printing Office, is creditable in every
respect but one, and that is its date. We see
no reason why the publication Of work Of
so much interest to the members of the naval
profession and to scientific men generally
should be delayed so long. Making all due
allowance for the time required for the intri-
cate calculations of which it is made up, 1t
ought to have been in their hands some seven
or eight months earlier
In matters of purely scientific character
government, we regret to say, does not take
the interest which their importance demands.
Abroad every encouragement is given to re-
searches and discoveries in connection with
them. No vote Of public money is
deemed too large for such objects. In England
and France especially astronomical science
has been carried to point of exactness which
no other countries have approached. Green
wich and Paris give their time to the rest of
the world. We have let things take their own
course in this regard. The little that has been
accomplished by us has been set down to the
credit Of m individual. frequently without
reason and almost always unnecessarily.
Whenever .we have made any advance in astro-
penical Or meteorological science the cry has

professor Maury has done that" Luckily
Professor Maury has relieved Us from his
oppressive individuality, and II the

ing to scientific men generally . fair
amount Of encouragement we shall soon
distinguish ourselves in this a. we have distin-
guished ourselves in other branches of human
knowledge. There can be no better evidence
Of the disposition existing among US for 1t
than that the observatory at Albany Is run by
Q banker and doctor, that Yale boasts Of .
wonderful astronomical star, though latterly
falling one-the great Loomis-and that we
ourselves have our weather prophet. It only
depends, as we have said, upon Congress to
develop the taste which exists for such pur-
suits and to make their results rebound to the
glory and benefit Of the country.

Caught in His Own Trap.

Once two ministers of the Gospel were
conversing together on extemporaneous
preaching
swell" said the old divine, waxing warm,
"you are running yourself by writing your
sermons and reading them off. Your con-
gregation cannoy become interested in your
preaching, and if you are called upon to
preach unexpectedly, unless you could get
hold of an old sermon, you would be COM
plctcly confused"
The young divine used all his eloquencc,
but in vain, to convince the old gentleman
that the written sermon expressed his own
thoughts and feelings, and if called upon he
could preach extemporaneously.
GAS we arc Of the same faith said the
young minister, "suppose you try me next
Sabbath morning. On ascending the pulpit
you can hand me text from any part of the
Bible, and l will convince you that I can
preach without having looked at the text be-
fore I stand up. Likewise, | must be allowed
the same privilege with you, and see who
will make the best of it. !"
The idea seemed to delight the old gentle
man, and was Immediately agreed upon.
The following Sabbath, on mounting the
pulpit his senior brother handed him slip
of paper, on which was written, "And the
ass opened his mouth and spake;" from
which he preached a glorious sermon, chain
ing the attention of his delighted hearers,
and charming his old friend with his elo-
quence.
In the forenoon, the young brother, who
was sitting below the pulpit, handed his slip.
After rising and opening the Bible, the old
man looked sadly around Am [ not thine
ass?' Pausing few minutes, he ran his
fingers through his hair, Strengthened his
collar, blew his nose like the last trumpet,
and read aloud, cam mot thine ass?' An
other pause, in which deadly silence reigned.
After reading the third time, cam | not
thine ass 2" he looked over the pulpit at
his friend, and in doleful voice said, I
think am. brother.

Booth and the LORDS PRAYER.

In the palmy days of Booth, the father Of
Edwin Booth, the great tragedian, together
with several friends, was invited to dine hy
a person who was opposed to theatres ana
-goings- and yet had curiosity enough
to wish to see something Of the lion of the
day. During the evening, some one request
ed Booth as particular favor to read The
Lords prayer. He expressed his Wiling
ness to afford the company this qualification.
and all eyes turned expectantly towards him.
Slowly and reverently he arose. All were
astonlshed at the play of emotions that. con-
vulsed his countenance. His face became
deathly pale, and his eyes, trembling turned
upwards, were wet with tears. The silence
could almost be felt; it became absolutely
painful before his rich toned voice from the
death-hued lips indescribably syllabled forth,
''Our Father who art in heaven, etc.."-
| Every heart was thrilled with the pathos and
solemnity of the occasion After he had
finished, the silence continued until sub
dued sob from the remote corner of the room
broke the spell. The host stepped forward
with streaming eyes, and Selling Booth by
the hand, said: ''Sir, you have afforded me
a pleasure for which my whole future Life
will feel grateful am an old man, and
every day from my boyhood to the present
time thought l had repeated the Lords
prayer, but have never heard if before
never"
Booth replied "To read that prayer as
is should be read, has cost me the seycrest
study and labor for thirty years; and I am
far from being yet satisfied with my render
ing of that wonderful production. Hardly
one person in ten thousand comprehends how
much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can
be condensed, in space so small and in words
so simple. That prayer ofitself sufficiently il
Illustrates the truth of the Bible, and stamps
upon it the seal of Divinity"
So great an effect had been produced by
the reading, that after few minutes Of sub
dued conversation, the company broke up
and retired, for the time at least, with full
hearts.

In MemOriam.

VIRGINIA is no more The historic CLOS
ries which encireled her name, the glorious
recolections which throng around her mem
Dry, her sacrifices, her patriotism, her ardent
love of liberty, her imperishable hatred to
tyranny, all could not avail to shield her from
the parricidal stroke. The children which
sprung from her body, made rich and pow-
erful and great by the princely patrimony
with which she endowed them, have with
felon hand dealt the blow which numbered
her with the things that were. 1t is peculi-
arly and touchingly significant, that by the
same blow constitutional liberty has been
stricken to the dust and the same power wit
nesses the destruction of the principle, and
the extinction of the State in whose history
it has had its brightest cxemplifcation. 1t
is perhaps a fitting finale. Who that mourns
the demise of all that was grand, and glori-
GUS, and chivalric, and noble, viii not unite
in the aspiration, that one word may be in
the pencil of prophetic fate on the
monument which we rear to her momory in
the misty and desolated plains of District
No. l, and that word RESURGAM."-
