THOSE OTHERS

With all due humiliation, we confess that
New York is an extremely ill-governed and
wicked and untidy city. Even if we were
likely to forget the fact, we have always the
cry of murder in our ears and the hint of
miasma in our nOstrils, to remind us of our
deplorable fate while the admOnitOry news
papers of all the cities in the land, when they
have nothing else TO talk about, can always
discourse with didactic dignity concerning the
total depravity of Gotham. Still, we have
"bOrne it with patient shrug;" for conscience
told us that we deserved even more, and that,
too, of a severer sort. But, heretofore, we
have felt that our case was not altogether
hopeless, since We had always before us the
precious example of several altogether lovely
municipalities which seemed to be all that cities
should be, and to be leaving undone all those
things which cities ought not to do. But
it appears to us that this inestimable privilege
of perfect patterns will soon be altogether de-
MED us. The other cities seem to be trying
their hands at BabylOnian exploits and al
though they may not surpass, it is possible
that they may equal us in perfect sin and un-
surpassabe iniquity. We read the newspapers
of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati,
st. Louis, and Washington, with a tendency
TO burst into tears of disappointment for
great are the grOwls and fiery is the indigna-
tion of these journals at uncleanly streets, at
the squabbles of City Fathers, at the ineifi-
cheney of the police. at the inflammation of
taxes, at the rascality of street railroads, and,
in short, at everything which, when observed
in New-YOrk, incites tho country editors to
an exhibition of their proficiency in En-
glish composition. The public smells of
Chicago are declared by the Chicagoese to be
the most intolerably malodorous in the uni
verse. The liberal views of its rulers con-
cerning taxation drive many of the rich men
OF Boston to become the rich men of some
village within easy distance of their daily
business. The Cincinnati newspapers present the
most piquant variety of assaults, defalcations,
robberes, and horse-railway jobs In St. Louis,
not to mention anything else, we observe that
New-l ork man--(who could have thought that
he would be so jolly green P)-has been cheated
out OF considerable sum of money by /" a
sport" and there is complaint of "the ire
hgious gamlns or unconyerted wild Arabs'
infesting that pleasant town. AS for Washington.
- it not known of all men what Puritanically

matter of morals, it rather errs upon the side

horse-raiiways were undoubtedly devised
partly, though not to any great extent, to ac-
commodate tho public but their main busi-
ness seems TO be TO show unto mankind how
badly such matters may bo managed. In the
