We find in the columns of Philadelphia
paper direct confirmation of tho account first
published i'll The TRIBUNE nearly a month
ago of the real nature of the Emperor NapO-
Icons sickness. A wel-informed correspondent
then told rs that his disease was fungus of the
bladder. Now The Philadelphia Inqsirer prints
n letter from Mr. George Wilkes in Paris to
friend in Philadelphia, giving some particulars
of conversation with the distinguished Dr.
Browns equard, in the course of which the
latter directed Mr.. Wilkes's attention to certain
articles which had recently appeared in q Paris
Journal on the Emperor's health. They were
written, DR.. Brown-Sequard said, by a man who
had once been physician to the Emperor--a man
of great ability but dissolute habits-who had
lost his standing in society and his employment
by the Emperor, but who, nevertheless, knew
the latter's constitution well.
"Ths has violated all professional obligations in
these articles. and has disclosed tho secret that the
Emperor suffering under an lncnrabe disease which
must soon put an end TO him."
"Wmt do you call soon Z" asked.
"well, certainly within Six months" was the reply.
And what is his disease I" inquired
Fungus of the bladder" he answered.
This ID secret worth knowing, for the stock markets
Of all the world Will be affected by the death OF the

Emperor had been made acquainted with his fate, and

RROWN STONE.

AS we have passed through the era Of pine
boards and stuccO, SD there are not wanting
indications that the days of brOwn-stOne
fronts for dwclling-hOuses in New-York are
numbered. Their exclusive possession OF tho
field for almost generation illustrates rather
the force of custom and the tyranny Of fashion
than good taste or even common sense. The
man who first covered the whole front OF his
mansion with clean slabs of sandstone. instead
OF inserting only a few pieces over and under
his doors and windows as his nelghbors were
content with doing, was doubtless famous IN
his day among builders and stOne-cutters. His
name il unknown to us, and perhaps to fame;
but the owners of sandstone quarries ought to
have preserved his memory, handing 1t down
TO posterity by regular celebrations OF his
birthday.
1t is evident that thin vcneering of soft
stone, hooked on TO brick wall, adds almost
nothing to the strength of a building. Neither
il sandstone as durable as brick. 1t is the
common opinion among intelligent stOne-cutters
that the brown-stone fronts of this city, by
the time they have been exposed for sixty or
eighty years to the severity of the climate
will be the majority of them in ruins, and the
remainder much dlapidated. An inspection of
the City Hall, the sandstone of which was
originally of a very superior quality, or of the
crumblng lntcs of the houses which line
some of the older streets of the city, will
show that this opinion has ample foundation.
Ii makes no very great difference whether the
stone is laid parallel or perpendicular to its
grain. In the former case its destruction is
more rapid. In the latter rOttenness soon APP
pears in the lintels, columns, cOrnices, and other
projecting portions of the ediiice. Several
of the fronts along Fifth-ave., some of them
less than ten years old, already look frightful
to the experienced eye of an honest stone
cutter. A little reflection will persuade any
one of the fact, well known to builders, that
brick and marble, not to mention granite are
vastly more durable than their more fashiona-
BILE rival. Plain brick can be made into forms
pleasing to the eye, rs people who have trav-
eled well know. The various cOlors of different
kinds of brick can be employed with fine effect.
Philadelphia brick and white marble are fit
for palace. Pressed brick, used with carefully
selected pieces of brown or yellow stone, forms
one of the richest combinations known to our
streets. All of these are less expensive, far
more durable, far stronger, and, We may add,
handsOmer than the somber material SO much
affected by the present generation of house
builders. Since some of our new streets are
lined with mansions which, standing together
like dOminOes on end, with their edges pro-
sented to the spectators eye, have very
mean appearance for palaces. tho sum which
by this piece of true economy might be saved
in the cost of the front might be wisely
expended in giving increased width to the
house

We are not at all surprised that we have not
secured the appreciation of The World, or that
it should turn, even with its hands full of
forged ballots. to call us bad names and burst
into one of those furies of prOfane scOldng by
which it so often excites the pity Of mankind.
For the last few weeks indeed The World has
exhibited melancholy infrmity of temper
which no other paper that we can remember
no, not even our little friend The Erpress-has
ever displayed; but it is SO natural-THe World
has been so sorely tried-that we pass it over
and forgive it. No COunterfeiter was ever yet

Mr.. George Peabody as successful banker
was not man of special consequence to the
worlds economy; as an American abroad, his
patriotism was sometimes called in question
by his more ardent countrymen; as a man
whose political prejudces long blinded him
to the atrocity of Southern treason, he
had few claims on American recOllec-
ton but as the princely philanthropist,
the benefactor of two continents, whose statue
adorns the commercial capital of the Old
World, whose splendid educational fund will
prove far more enduring monument in our
own stricken South, his death is an occasion
for universal mourning. la his later days his
health was the subject of affectionate solicit
tude on the part of the Queen Of England
His funeral rites will command reverent atten-
ton from the rulers and the people of two of
the nightiest nations on the Globe.

We had two purposes in view when we
quoted at various times within the past ten
days The Worlds attacks upon its own candi-
dates. We wanted first to show our readers
how little real harmony of feeling there was
in the Democratic party; and then we wanted
TO show them, by the result of the election
that The World is entirely without influence
even over the voters Of its own political per-
suasOn. The time to fulfill this second pur-
pose has now come. Take the case of Mr..
Tweed for instance he was pursued by The
World with the very bitterest hostility. He
was denounced as a shameless cOrruptionist,
and accused not only of cheating at the polls,
but of betraying his own candidates. Does
this deter anybody from voting for him7 Not
mt all he comes in 10y handsome majority.
Then The World published a shameful charge
against Samuel b. Garvin. which ought to have
ruined his chances ofelectiOn if the party cared for
ANYTHING The World said but we don't find
that it made the slightest difference. The same
paper also got up Strikers Directory, and
pilloried all the Democratic candidates who
don't pay incOme-tax; well, we believe every
one of them was elected.
of course if Republican journals had made
these charges against their political opponents,
we could understand their producing very little
effect, because Democrats generally don't read
such papers as THE TMBUNE-if they did they
would soon be converted-and those who did
see the accusations might ascribe them to the

Because we seek to fix public attention upon
the evils of our present financial condition and
the necessity of fastening the effort to "strike
bedrock" because, indeed we believe there
is no security in any financial policy which
does not contemplate an early return to specie
payments and the rapid conversion of our debt
into form less exhausting in Its demands for
interest, we continue this morning our publlca-
ton of bankers plans and speculations on the
situation. An elaborate article will be found
on our second page.

From the report of the Superintendent of the

seen what can be done in the erection of pub

Hon. Calvin 4. Hulburd, superintendent, aud

We have little more of the City canvass,
save the vote for Supervisors. Of the three
candidates, Roche, Tammany, has 63,6O2, or
5000 less than Nelson; Smith, Rep, has
1850, or 1851 less than Sigel; Foley, Indep
DEM, has 1895. 1t is claimed that Costa,
Rep, is chosen to the Assembly in the Ninth
District by two majority. That is rather a
slight bar in the way of the Democratic County
Canvassers, and we scarcely dare to hope that
Mr.. Bergen will not be counted in.
