returned to the tender mercies of Fernando
and Boole.
Our city and county expenditures are enor-
nous, and the city is badly governed at that
The Corporation "rings, with the Mayor at their
head, manage to concoct some very profitable
jobs, even with their present limited power;
and the various commissions, each acting
independently Of all other authority and
running their own machines, are certainly
somewhat costly luxuries. The only real
remedy for oil these evils lies In the adoption Of
q system of government that shall concentrate
the authority in one executive head and make
that head directly responsible to the people.
By this plan alone can the taxpayers rid them
selves at once Of extravagant commissions
and corrupt "rings." 1t Is to be hoped that
the State Constitutional Convention, which will
meet early in the summer, will bestow such
system Of government upon New York as that
before this time next year we may be reaping
its benefits But 1t must be one that will rid
US Of aldermanic and councilmanic profigacy,
a. we'll as Of spendthrift and irresponsible
commissions.

The Academy Of Music was inaugurated last
combined with mirth, fashion and music to lift
up the sorrowing and bring comfort to the
destitute. The widows and orphans Of the
members Of the old volunteer Fire Depart
ment are to be the recipients of the handsome
profits which must have accrued from
the ball last night, and, judging from
the appearance Of the house, the vast
crowds which filed it in every parton
the floor, with its kaleidoscope variety of color
and costume, and in the different tiers of boxes
and galleries, which were filed with hundreds
Of elegantly dressed people-the receipts must
this excellent charity. The community is not
ungrateful to the volunteer Fire Department
It has many obligations to fulfil with regard to
that institution, and perhaps no better way Of
releasing itself from those obligations could
have been devised than by inaugurating the
half of those who have been left as
sacred trust to the members OF
the organization, the widows and orphans
of the men who have died in the service Of the
public. Four hundred widows and their families
are now in receipt of pensions from this fund.
To keep the treasury full for this commendabIe
purpose the splendid ball OF last night was gotten
up. We trust that the receipts were common
surate with the good intentions Of those who
had it In charge, and we have little doubt that
the worthy object has met with as great pecu-
MARY success a. that which crowned the
occasion in a social point Of view. Nothing
could have been more appropriate than that
the new Academy should have had Its inaugu-
ration festival in the cause of so deserving .
charity as the Firemen's Widows and Orphan

THE ELoPEMENT OF AN HE1REss WITH
HER Music TEAcHER.-The New York
Ne,os gives the following details of the
elopelnent of a young lady, daughter of
awealthy citizen of New Rochelle, New
York, with her music teacher:
The lady, whose name is Jenny Smith,
is the daughter of retired hide and
leather dealer, who has accumulated
his stamps in the ''swanlp'' in this city.
Miss Jennie has just arrived at the ripe
and susceptible age Of sweet eighteen.
Having left boarding school a year ago,
her head was consequently full of ro.
mantle ideas. She is dark-haired,
dark eyed brunette, of petite, yet fault
less form, and of a very attractive, not
to say bewitching manner.
Her lovers name is Charles Mason,
a young man of considerable accomp-
lishments, we'll educated and skilled In
vocal and instrumental music. Char
lev sported delightful moustache and
imperial, which he always kept well
waxed; was scrupulously neat In his
dress; was an excellent dancer and
brilliant conversationlst.
The upshot of all this was that Mr..
Charles and Miss Jennie resolved to
skedadle, for the obtaining of her pa
rents consent to their union was en-
tirely out of the question-it was me-
salliance that they could never tole-
rate.
On Monday last, having packed up
the most valuable of her portable ar
ticles, she joined Charlie at the railroad
depot, where they took the train bound
East.
The parents of the young lady did
not discover the fact that she had gone
off until the next day.-On making in
quiry from the ticket agent at the de-
pot. who knew the parties, her father
learned that she had purchased a ticket
for Boston. He telegraphed to the
Chief of Police in that city to hunt them
up if possible, and took the next train
East himself to join in hot pursuit.
But before this, in all probability, the
marriage has been tied and duly con-
summated, and all the old gentleman
can do is to allow the young lovers to
return to his home.

THE CLIMATE OF RUSSIAN AMERI-
cA.-Lorin Blodgett, Esq, author of
Blodgett's Climatology of the United
States, has, at the request of Commits
sioner Wilson, Of the General Land Of
flee, examined in to the meteorological
statistics of Russian America, collected
during the past twenty-five years, by
authority of the Russian Government.
The west coast of North America, from
Prince of Wales Island to Alaska, i'll
climate, is equivalent in winter to the
east coast of the United States from
Baltimore to Portland, Maine. The
climate of Prince of Wales Island, in
winter, is equivalent to that of Balti-
more and Philadelphia. The climate
of Sitka is equivalent to that of New
York city; and Kodiah is equivalent to
Portland, Maine. The summer there
compares with the summer of the Bri-
tish Provinces north of Halifax and the
coast of New Foundland. Sitka being
warmer than St. Johns, New Found
land.

SUMNER IN JERUSALEM. M.-During the
two months of March and Aprilit (Je
rusalem) is dense mass Of flowers of
an incompatible freshness Of colors.
The animals are small, but extremely
gentle. Lively and graceful turtle
doves, blue-birds so slight that they
alight upon blade of grass without
bending it, crested larks that come al
most to the feet of the traveller, little
brook turtles with quick, soft eyes,
storks of grave and modest air, putting
off all timidity, allow themselves to be
approached very closely by man, and
seem to call him. In no place in the
world do the mountains spread out with
more harmony, or inspire loftier ideas.
Jesus seems to have loved them espe-
eially. The most important acts of his
divine career were performed upon the
mountains; there he was best inspired !;
there he had secret conferences with
the ancient prophets, and showed him
self to his disciples already transfigur-
.

INVOLUNTARY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
DErIS!ON.

An important decision has been given
lately at Troy by District Judge n. *.
Hall, II. B. Clafin & Co., of New York,
petitioned that A. L. Wells and A. l..
Wells, jr., be adjudged bankrupts. The
L. Wells & Son made an assignment OF
all their property last March, "wlth in
tent to delay and hinder their credl-
tors" AT the same time they suspend
ed business, and did not resume pay
ment of their commercial paper within
q period of two weeks. The court held
that the assignment having been made
by insolvents against whom suits had
been brought and judgments obtained,
and whose intent was to secure the
common and equal benefit of all their
creditors, is not void under the statute
of this State, which avoids conveyances,
made with intent to 'lelay, hinder or
defraud creditors and, notwithstand-
ing the provision of the thirty-ffth sec
tion of the bankrupt act, that a sale,
assignment, transfer or conveyance not
made in the usual course of business of
the debtor is prinau fucie evidence OF
fraud, this assignment-having been
made under such circumstances, aud
with such intent-was not properly an
act of bankruptcy.
The court held that the second
ground of the petition was sufficient to
entitle the petitioner to an adjudication.
There is some doubt about the construc-
tion of the clause which authorizes pro-
ceedings od noituns against any per-
son, "who, being banker. merchant
or trader, has fraudulently y stopped and
suspended payment, and not resumed
payment of his commercial paper within
a period of fourteen days"
1t is claimed by some that proceed
ings cannot be taken under the clause
unless the original stoppage or suspep-
sion of payment is shown to have been
fraudulent. The court, however, agreed
with the United States district court of
South Carolina in thinking that this
clause contemplates two eases-the one
of an original fraudulent stoppage of
payment, In which proceedings may be
instituted at once, and the other of sus-
pension of payment not fraudulent, and
not per Sc an act of bankruptcy, bat
which, if continued for more than four
teen days, becomes ah act of bankrupt
'cy by it's continuance.
The presumption is tha& merchant
of fair character, who is solvent and de-
serving of credit, can, by means of tenn
porary loan or otherwise, provide for
resuming payment of his commercial
paper within the fourteen days.

BUSINESS SUccEss.-It is worth while
to netice the almost wonderful success
achieved by some business men in this
city, who commenced with only mo-
derate capital. The means adopted by
our most prosperous merchants, we
learn, on inquiry, are, first unceasing
assiduty to their business, and watch
full attention to all it's details, great and
small; second, determination not to
encourage the desire to grow suddenly
rich, and, thirdly, to make a reputation
and establish a good and reliable name.
A reputation, in retail business, is
made, in great degree, by liberal ad-
vertising, in being satisfied with a mo-
derate profit, and by making a rule not
to misrepresent the articles sold. A
noted millionaire says, to realize a for
tune, you have TO do but two things ::
first, get hold of good thing, and
then let the whole world know of it.

NIAGARA EoLIPsEp.-An astonished
tourist writes to the Frontier Ludec
from the curious district surrounding
the Yellowstone Lake of Montana:
sNear the outskirts ssfthis monstrous
locality there is lake on the top of the
mountain that is yet frozen over, the
ice and snow covering its surface some
twenty feet deep. Two main forks of
1the Yellowstone, one heading opposite
Wind and Green rivers and the other
opposite Henry's Fork of Snake river,
i'm the same vicinity that the Madison
and Gallatin rise, empty into the big
lake, which has for its eutlet the yell
lowstone river, and just below the lake
the whole river falls euer the face of a
mountain thousands of feet, the spray
rising several hundred. A pebble was
timed by watch in dropping from an
'overhanging erag of one perpendicular
fall, and is said to have required eleven
;and half seconds to strike the surface
'ofithe river below.-That beats Niagara
Falls 'all hollow The river at these
greatest of falls is represented to be
half as large as the Missouri at Omaha,
and as clear as crystal. The great
lake, like all others in these mountains,
is thick with salmon trout, of from five
TO forty pounds weight, and where the
milky boiling mineral waters from the
>geysers intermingle with the pure clear
water from the running streams, these
elegant tish can be forked ;, UP by the
