The FARRAGUT OBsEQUIEs AND OUe
BOARD OF ALDERMEN. We learn that but
two ont of the entire number OF our
Board of Observation-Disclosures Jerome and
Alderman Littieteld-wil 60 to Portsmouth
to attend the embarkaton Of the remains
of the late Admiral Farragut and accom-
pany them to this city. The public may
wonder why our patriotic Board of Aldermen
fail to 60 in a body and testify their regard for
the late great naval hero. Is it because there
is no money, no job, in it? Or is it because
it is not juuketing frolc, where the cham
pagne is accustomed to flow in torrents? Per
haps it may be because there are no free kid
gloves in the affair, nor any Of those attrac
tions which distinguished the grand reception
of the Prince Of Wales. But, whatever the
reason may be, we hope our worthy Aldermen
will carry out their economical designs a little
farther and, instead of putting the city to the
expense of carriage hire, march on foot to the
wharf where the ilIustrious remains are to be
received and in the same manner join in the
funeral cortege az it passes through the city.
This is practical reform and economy in our
city government Let it be encouraged

denoe in setting an imperlshable lesson before

mankind.
| A few turns Of the wheel Of swiftly revolving
time and behold that lesson repeated in our
own immediate hour and while we write. AS
the Romans themselves clamored at the gates
of Jerusalem, and as the Goths and
Huns swarmed over the crumbling
walls of Rome, so are the modern
Allemanni assaulting the Notifications of Paris,
that elegant Rome Of the present day. The
French capital, like her Latin predecessor, is
likewise mistress of all the luxuries and heir to
all the wretchednes of an utterly corrupt and
decaying civilization. Enraptured with the
unsubstantial name without the real sub
stance of glory, sinking supinely under
the feet of perjured usurpation, Civ
ing herself up to "the lust of the
eye and the pride of the flesh" she has
sung and danced and voted and applauded her
Cesar and his myrmidons, the ''curled dar-
lings' of the ''Bas Empire, the adventurers,
male and female, from all corners of the uni
verse, the ''chevaliers" and ''dames de lanti-
chambre' of the palace and the 'slionnes," and
"cocottes" of the boulevards and the Bois de
Boulogne, until for her, and through her for
France, and, unfortunately, for the weak and
giddy Of all other lands, efrontery had become
the ton, cold-hearted scepticism the religion,
and meretricious title and trappings, no matter
how obtained, the supreme controlling good.
Not only did all France groan with
the poison that was spreading through
hnr taIo h,tt tha yian aul nnnd
throughout the world murmured in their
despsed secusion, almost despairingly,
''How long the orgie lasts!' But sudden
access of blind fury, defying sense and justice,
and, look Hannibal is at the gates!' The
Neo- Goths the Allemanni-nO longer savages,
but coming, sturdy, honest, armed with sruth
and right, simple in their faith, true to God
and Fatherland, full of the fresh vigor of the
North-are at hand to replace the true people
and laws of their old kindred, the republican
ish an exhausted blood. Again the North
nvades, and again luxurious Rome goes down
before the logic of humanity and the repeti-
tions of history.
But as to the debilitated Southern empires
the strong blood Of the upper climates was
liie-renewing stream, so to the European East,
diminished by the grander development of the
transatlantic West, is the growing empire on
this our own American soil the rising source
of purer breath and brighter light. The cycle
Of ages and of nations completing its revolu-
ton yonder recominences here to terminate
with us, where it, as deeper annals prove,
originally began. ''The land shadowing with
wings, the Great Republic, has her arms wide
open to all her elder and now feebler sister
nations. In their glory and in their downfall
alike she is their hope, and to morrow will be
their help and their leader. Warned by the
fate of artificial empires and the folly Of arro-
giant kings, she will yet build her power on the
love of the people only and on their advance
in public and private virtue, and, like all that
has ever been truly great on earth, in the
earnest fear Of God.

THREE FRENCH WAR VESSELS have recently

Failing Bnildings-EugsheII Architecture.

Falling Bnilslings-EggsheI Architecture.
The record Of fallen buildings is growing
alarmingly large The wonder is that the loss
of life has not kept pace with it. Sunday
morning at an early hour fortunately so) a
four story structure in Henry street, Brooklyn,
was the scene of one of these oft-recurring
accidents The highest story, which was over
laden with the materials used in making wall
paper-certainly not a weighty article in
itsef--gave way, and falling on the floor below
broke through story after story until the
whole interior of the building was
collected in congomerate mass in
the cellar. Had the accident occurred
girls employed in the establishment would
have been buried in the ruins. The Superin-
tendent Of Buildings in Brooklyn should make
closer inspection Of all such places and
exert his powers most vigorously to compel a
decent regard for human life. Only few
weeks since building on Fulton street, ada
cent to the ferry. literally burst open because
the upper stories were filed with -four and
grain In this instance there was also q
lucky interposition of chance to prevent loss
of life, as the accident occurred just at day
break. But the building, which was origi-
nally erected az "a dwelling aud not for such
purposes as those to which it is now devoted,
has been repaired, few iron rods inserted in
the walls and the assures painted over. The
Superintendent of Buildings should give these
cases his particular attention

Wal Street Frolic-Bsaok HAT. w.
Whito Hats.

The annals Of history record various strifes
which have been carried on under curious
guises. Thus we have the famous wars of the
Red Roses and the White Roses while the
whole system of knight errantry is replete
with contests Of Blue Knights, Black
Ever since the battle of the Boyne the factions
of Ireland have rallied under the Orange and
the Green. Political writers tell us that man
has natural propensity to unite in society
with his fellow man, but facts really demon
strate that mankind is very prone to disiute-
grafton.
Down In Wall street people separate into
bulls" and ''bears" and wage constant Gnan-
clal war on each other. Latterly, however, a
sort OF social disintegraton has been going on
among the brokers, owing to their respective
like and dislike of certain styles of head cover
ings. 1t seems that the fashionable tall hats
in light colors, which were 80 common during
the summer, have provoked the good-natured
indignation of the sporters Of beavers of a
darker hue, and the antipathy of the respective
wearers led to challenges, which were printed
and posted in conspicuous places around the
Stock Exchange. The Black Hats threat
ened to obIiterate all White Hats. Matters
reached a crisis yesterday. When the
last formal session of the Board was over the
demonstration against the White Hats, which
had been rather desultory skirmish all day,
took the form OF an organized movement. At
a signal the white hats were suddenly dashed
from the wearers' heads and kicked and
knocked in every direction until the air was
filed with flying fragments Of white felt aud
beaver. The struggle certainly brought out
the best points of the brokers' characters; for
the destruction was attended with the utmost
good feeling and the victims took
their discontinue as matter Of
course. The White Hats made vigorous
defence, and even sought to carry the war
into Africa by daring saIiies on the Black Hats,
bat numbers and enthusiasm were against
them, and the white cOlors trailed in the dust.
But the warfare extended beyond the Stock
Exchange. The Black Hats. flushed with vic
tory, poured up the stairs of the Government
Board, and sallying in among the brokers
there repeated the destruction of the offensive
tiles. From this apartment they next repaired
to the Gold Room. and taking the place by
storm finished The achievements of the day by
demolishing every white hat within reach, or
forcing the owner to beat a precipitate retreat.
or course the leisure which permitted 80
prolonged and boisterous frolc is striking
commentary on the business activity Of Wall
street Just now.

Pat Woods Congressional Term.

The lucky hod carrier who mistook Con-
gressman Porter, of Virginia, for an ordinary
mortal--the latter having no Congressional
label on his person-and assaulted him, and
who was imprisoned for three months by an
outraged Congress for the mistake, seems to
have made an exceedingly fortunate hit of it.
His aggrieved constituency intend to give him
grand reception when he returns to them
after his term Of Imprisonment is over, which
will be next month, and it is in the wind that
he may be returned to Congress in place of
Porter at the next election as further conces-
sion to the law of compensations.
Who can say that this is not encouraging to
ndiscriminate assaulters and discouraging to
the general run Of Congressman If it be-
comes an accepted maxim that whoever whips
Congressman may take his place we shall
hear Of dozens Of bruisers in this city making
for little Sam Cox, another dozen probably
going for John Fox, if any one really cares to
succeed him. and some rash fellow may even
put in blow at John Morrissey. Ben Buffers
seat is not safe day unless the Gloucester
fishermen rally for his defence. Little Sprague,
Of Rhode Island is very precariously situated,
and, indeed, nobody is safe except such giants
as Pratt of Indiana, and McCreery, of Ken
tucky, whose personal proportions render it
impossible for any one man to overcome them
in struggle or to fill their seats af.erward.
We do not know what sort Of Congress
man Pat Woods, OF Virginia, may make if
elected. II is quite likely there are worse
men in both Houses. II seems quite certain,
however, that he will have to be very attentive
to the wishes Of his constituency, and make
himself very agreeable to all his old friends
and enemies in his district, or be may find him
self compelled to resort to that very question
of privilege raised against him by Porter, and
which seems likely to be the tide that leads
him on to fortune Any other Pat Woods or
Jimmy Doolan or, for that matter, Sambo feel
ing the slightest irritation at the original Pat
for failing to get that little bill through, may
assault him as he assaulted Porter, aud get
three months in the Washington Jail and two
years in the House OF Representatives in Pats
own seat as a penalty. Then Pat will have to
90 back to his bricks and mortar and await
long time for another Porter to come in his
way. Altogether, for his own peace of mind,
he had better stick TO his hod.
