explicable maze of streets and squares

applicable maze of streets and squares
and alleys, is surprising to one &C
customed to the extortion of New
York Carriages" But you must
look sharp to the time and distance,
for "cabby" is not without that love
for filthy lucre which characterizes
the race. Evince for a moment your
greenness, and the lawful rate of six
pence per mile becomes half a crown.
But order him with knowing air to
your destination, pay him according
to your own figures at the end, and
you will usually have no difficulty.
But the "Cabbys," of which there
are about ten or twelve thousand in
the metropolis, have become dissatis-
fed with their present income, and
initiating other trades. met the other
night in Great Queen street, where
they formed themselves into a "pro-
tective union," sat down to a supper
at Freemason's Tavern, provided
memorial to Parliament, and then
went home. At present they are held
responsible for lost luggage, which
they consider very grievous. Their
patrons look at the matter in a very
different light.
THE PARKS.
Although there is never a ray of
sunlight, St. James and Hyde Park
present all the greenness of early
spring. The myriad swans and duck
lings in the ponds are lively, and some
of the early flowers are in bloom
has brought out the gentry in great
numbers, and on afternoons the great
drives are teeming with horsefesh
and footmen. Within the sacred pre-
cincts of this adjunct to the palace,
no vulgar "cab or hired carriage Is
admitted" as you read on the board
at the Queens gate. Yesterday after
noon Her Majesty came out in a four
finland, dressed in plainest black, and
drove rapidly into her private road in
the interior of the park. Then came
the dowagers and countess and "fairle
ladies'" as Chaucer would say, airing
their aged limbs, and reclining luxu-
riously, surrounded by no end of pow
dered wigs and meeklooking attend
ants.
1t is impossible to view the grand
turnouts at the parks without draw
ing a contrast between them and our
own popular drives. Here every
thing is heavy, numbering and out Of
all manner of taste. Who would
desire to drive on the Brighton road
in an ugly old thoroughbrace coach
hung at least six feet from the ground
with wheels large and heavy enough
to mount a columbiad Add to this
weight the liveried servants, number
ing at least four. on top and sides
and the drive would indeed be any
thing but a pleasant one. Yet these
are the only vehicles-except, per
haps, the two-wheeled dog cart of thu
"sport" that come into the park OF
a pleasant afternoon. We sigh for {
sight at the natty turnouts to be seer
only in America, in which one CA
ride at as rapid a pace as ever h
likes, if his horsehcsh is equal to hi
desires.

A MIRACULOUS EsCAPE.-A Boy
FALLS ONE HUNDRED FEET INTO THE
w .rrp The Peoples Ian " D.
Greenwich, Washington County, \.
Y, has thrilling account of all oc-
currence in that vicinity, as follows:
On Friday, the 9th ult., a party
Of young boys left our village on an
excursion to the Big Falls, Oh the
Battenkill, about one mile beyond
Galesville. One Of the boys named
Samuel Eddy, about thirteen years of
age, son of Mr.. James NJ. Eddy, of
this town, had the most miraculous es-
cape we ever heard of. Whilst stand
ing on the steep bank of the south
side, he caught hold Of young sap
ling to support himself; it gave way
and precipitated him down into the
roaring cataract, about 100 feet be-
low. He struck on ledge about 20
feet from the summit, and from thence
bounded off like ball. He seems to
have lost all recollection after his fall,
till he found himself padding about
in the water. His clothes were heavy
with water, and he could hardly keep
afoat, but after several attempts he
managed to gain footing on rock
a couple OF feet beneath the surface of
the water. Whilst standing thus tc
breathe himself, and to gather his
scattered senses, he found that hi;
face was covered with blood, which
flowed profusely from a wound in hi;
forehead. He took out his handker
chief to wipe it away, and then strucl
out for the shore. On his way h,
sank several times. On gaining tn,
bank he became quite dizzy, and again
nearly lost his consciousness. Hi
companions on seeing their conrad,
> fall, ran along the bank crying for help
Luckily, Captain Abram Reynolds
happened to be passing by at the tim
and on hearing the cry of the boys

boy. But he was astonished to Sc
him running about on the bank, be
low the rocks. Captain ReyDold
took him home, and the boy appear
now to be but little worse for his fal
1t seems nearly as impossible that an
one could have such a fall and escap

that more narrow escape was neve

THE "CABBYS. F"

Without its cabs London is a maze
and a mystery, even to its own cit
liens. Through the smoke that low
ers over the narrow and unfathomable
streets, only "cabby'' can extricate
you. The way from Paternoster
Row to Hyde Park or Piccadilly is
as much mystery as the millennium.
There is little use of starting, you
will surely never get there, for the
smoke and fog will never lift, and if
it did you could not find your way
Then the sight of a cab-be it one
of the two or four wheeled persua-
sion-is godsend. And then the

from clothes washing and ministers
of the gospel forbid his worship Of
Joss. Such is the inevitable, logical
conclusion. 1t flies in the face of law
statutory, international and moral; and
has its origin in error the most fragrant.
Again Let US look at the inseparable
consequences of violence toward the
Cinnamon upon the part of any number
of men of good standing in the commu u
nifty. What have been the effects OF
the " Anti Coolie Leagues " of Cali
fornia ? Have they lessened the influx
of Cinnamon to our shores Have
they prevented their employment by
contractors, manufacturers and farm rs
in that State And have they no,
merely prompted the vile, the cowardly
and the malicious to acts of brutal vio-
lence against that inoffensive people
And if any considerable body of men
bearing good regulations engage in
bringing force to bear against Chinese
wood choppers, may we not reasonably
expect to see every bullying, drunken
vagabond taking it upon himself to
wreak his individual vengeance upon
poor john? Violence, in contravention
of law can never be safely employed.
This is not plea in favor of Chinese
labor as against white labor. Speed
the day when these forbidding noun
tains and plains shall be swarming with
the temperate, Industrious, Intelligent,
home esiab lishiug and wealth
producing sons Of the opulent, over
peopled East, of Germany, England,
Ireland and France for then indeed
will industry assert its dignity, pros
perity, and good morals prevail and
society be builded upon the most noble
and permanent foundations. But let
Us not make the terrible mistake that
i is possible to pave the way to such
\ desirable condition by acts of inias-
ice and violence against the weak and
'riendless but, rather, let Us by our
industry, our forbearance, our thrift |
md our constant respect for the laws
which govern US and them alike, prove |
,ur worthiness and capability to build
lp and maintain this young State upon |
he principles of honor, order and just
lealing toward all mea, remembering, |
that the Creator has given |
o no race or condition Of men the |
light to a monopoly of labor.

AHT1-CooLIE NEETING.-Last evening
quite a number Of the citizens Of Washoe
met at the Court House to devise ways and
means by which they might, il possible, pre-
! vent Cinnamon from engaging in any laboIi-
! Gus occupations. As near as We could under
stand, this meeting vas preliminary to per-
manent organization. The enterprise, as we
understand, is purely benevolent move; in
fact, 4 man can see with his nose that there
is no politics in 1t. We observed that the
active controlling members of the organiza-
ton are wei! known phl.a nthroplsts, men
ever ready to sacrifice themselves for the good
OF their fellow men. Chairman of the meet

more than we can tell some member Of the

in our opinion this addition would not IN
crease the numerical strength of the Club
nuchiy. All this is, however, foreign to tie

Cinnamon from the burdens OF manual labor
We feel a lively interest in this matter, and
propose to give it serious thought. Coolies
must rot lator, their constitutions will not
permit it. Coolies must live, and, curiously.
live by the aid of such solids and fluids as
anti-coolies use. The object of this inquiry.
then, is to devise means by which Cinnamon
can live and not labor. After a careful con-
sideration of the whole matter, we can see
but one opening for them, and that is the
law There is neither mental nor physical
exertion required of its professors in this
