scholar and thoroughly good man. In his
will he stipulated that his library. containing
twenty thousand volumes, which he gave to
the Cathedral of Seville, should be free to the
people, and it is to this day. From books in
this collection, the late Washington Irving OBJ
tanned considerable portion of the informa-
ton on which his Life of Columbus" was
founded. The following quaint epitapb. al
most obliterated by time, appears on the tab
let which marks his tomb "Wbat doth it
profit to have sprinkled the whole world with

THE BROAD STREET PA VEMENT.

THE BROAD SIhBEI IA HEMHNT.
AN ordinance creating a loan of 100000
for repaving Broad street with an improved
pavement was passed by Common Council
Yesterday. This is considerable sam to de-
vote to paving a single street, even if that
street is to become great fashionable tho
roughfare We would like to see the pave
ments improved not only on Broad but on
all other great thoroughfares in Philadelphia,
and scarcely an argument can be advanced in
favor of the loan bill referred to which
could not be urged with nearly equal force
in favor of loan bills to repave scores of
streets. But such a sweeping measure is
manifestly impracticable under the financial
system applied to Broad street. for it would cost
in the aggregate hundred millions of dollars,
and bankrupt the city treasury. What
Councils should aim at is the dis
covery of some general system by
which, through the joint action
of property h olders and others specially inte-
rested in maintaining good thoroughfares,
universal improvement could be effected;
and such moneys as can be spared from the
municipal revenues should be devoted rather
to assisting such comprehensive effort than
to the Improvement of a single mile or two
out of hundreds of miles of streets.
AS different policy is favored, it behooves
Councils to exercise the greatest possible
care in expending the $500,000 loan. 1t
would be monstrous to squander any portion
of this fund after taxing the people of the
whole city for the special benefit Of single
section; and the best, if not the only. justif-
cation for the proposed measure, should be
sought in an especially wise, thoughtful, and
prudent provision for the Broad street pave
ment. If $500, 900 is thrown away upon
perishable clap-trap wooden structure, that
will soon be filed with dangerous and ,un-
slightly holes, such pavement
will give satisfaction only to
ring schemers and favorites in receipt Of
moneys filched from the treasury, while
every oppressed taxpayer will be justly in
dignant. The true course to pursue would
be for Councils to select a committee outside
of their members and officials, and composed
of men above suspicion, to examine thor
oughly into the merits of the various pave
ments used in different sections of the world
and decide which one is best adapted to the
improvement of Broad street, as well as to
see that, beyond all doubt or equivocation,
the city derives full equivalent for every
dollar expended. If this course is pursued, the
$500, 900 loan may be defended on the ground
that it serves good experimental purposes;
otherwise, the sober second thought of the
city will inevitably condemn the loan; and if
any portion of it is put into the pockets of
mere jobbers and plunderers, all who are
implicated in such scheme should, and we
hope will, be exposed to and condemned by
sn outraged community.

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN PARIS
The scene at the funeral of the insurgents
killed few days ago in the fight before Mont
Valerien, which is described in our cable
dispatches, more vividly recalls the horrible
pioturesqueness of the Reign of Terror than
anything that has occurred in Paris in our
day. The slaughtered Communists are con-
sidered as martyrs, and their corpses were
followed to the grave by thousands
of weeping and bowling men and
women, who had worked themselves
into a condition of frenzy, and it
is evident that Paris mob law has assumed
one of its worst phases, and that the unfor-
tunats city will be again the theatre of ter
ribIe dram. unless the frenzied shriekers for
the liberty of slaughtering all who will not
Countenance them are speedily overpowered.
1t would perhaps be the best thing that could
happen, however humiliating it might be to
the whole French nation, if the Germans
were to return to Paris and restore
order. The men who are now endeavoring to
inaugurate new Reign of Terror need to be
taught they have been conquered, and that
Tor their conquerors Partisan mob law has no
terrors. They need to be informed by actual
contact with the victorious Germans that they
have really found their masters; and while
we believe that Bismarck would gladly avoid
any Interference he would be real benefac-
tor to France if he would complete his work
by demonstrating to those who refuse to sub
NIT to defeat that they can do nothing if he
bids them keep the peace. The
present situation in Paris confirms
the worst fears of those who despaired of the
French Republic, and unless the insurrection
is speedily suppressed return to impe-
rialism in some shape or other can be
the only result of the anarchy that now exists.
Unfortunate as was the condition of Paris
and of France when the terms of peace Of
fsred 10y the Germans were accepted, the
present situation is far more lamentable, and
the professed friends Of liberty are apparently
the ones who viii complete the work of the
Empire and sink France TO a lower depth of
degradation than that from which the despo-
iisn Of the First N'poleon rescued her

OBITUARY.
Hon. ZadOclk Pratt.

HON. LauOck
Hon. Zadock Pratt, formerly member of Con-
gress from New York, died yesterday at Bergen,
Nj. He was born at Stephentown, Rensselaer,
county, New York, on the 30th of October, 1870.
He commenced life without means, but by his
great business talents and industry he succeeded
in gaining a large fortune. He devoted himself
to tanning, and obtained eminent
success ia that branch of the mechanic
arts. His vast tanneries at Prattsville
were famous throughout the entire country, and
previous to his retirement from active business,
in 1886 there had been tanned in them more
than million sides of leather. In 1928 he was
elected a colonel of militia, and in 1880 he was
sent to the State Senate. In 1886 he was
Presidential elector. Mr.. Pratt was elected to
Congress in 1886, and afterwards in 1842, and
he proved an active and efficient member of the
House of Representatives. His Congress
sional career will be remembered on account
of his efforts in behalf of the reduction
of postage. He superintended the preparation
of the plans for the new Post Office Department
buildings and for those of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, which owes its origin to him. In 1852 he
was again Presidential elector. He established
q newspaper and a bank at Prattsville, and was
the president of a number of societies and in
stitutiens. In 1852 he was delegate to the
Baltimore Convention, and also to a number of
other Democratic conventions. For some years
past Mr.. Pratt had not taken any active part in
politics.

tinguished officer of the Austrian navy, died
yesterday at Vienna. He was born at Marburg,
in Styria, in 1927, and was educated at the I'm
perial and Royal Naval College at Venice, and
became a midshipman in August 1S45. He
served as aide-de-camp to Admiral Martini, and
was employed in the blockade of Venice on
board the corvette Adria in 1849. In
June, 1851 he was promoted to lieu
tenant, and in 1857 he was sent on a spe-
cial mission to Egypt. He became captain
in December, 1867, and in 1859 he commanded
the corvette Archduke Friedrich, in the war
against France and Sardinia. Afterwards he
became chief of a separate department of the
Admiralty. He accompanied the late Archduke
Ferdinand Macmillan to Mexico, and in 1862 he
commanded the Austrian squadron in the Adri-
attic and Mediterranean. For his gallantry at
the head of this squadron in the ac-
tion with the Danish fleet Cff Heligo-
land May 0, 1864, he received the
military decoration of the order of the Iron
Crown. Having been made rear ar-admiral, he
received the chief command of the Austrian fleet
in active service in January, 1855, and inflicted
a crushing defeat on the Italian 1eet com
manded by Admiral Persano, off LISA, in the
Adriatic, ON July 10Th, 1866 For this victory
he was made yice-admiral, the highest rank in
the naval service of Austria. He was COM

The death of Mr.. William j. Rose promi-
nent journalist of New York, is announced
Mr.. Rose was gentleman of fine talents, an ac-
complished linguist, and a man of marked cru
dition. He had travelled extensively in Europe,
Asia, and Central and South America, and at
one time held official positions under the United
States Government. For some years past he
resided in New York, and was at various times
connected with the principal newspapers, and
latterly held position on the Herald editorial
staff. Soon after the Burns anniversary he was
stricken down by the malady which carried him
off. MIR. Rose was native of Pennsylvania,
and was connected with several of the most
prominent families of this State.

an occasional but effective contributor to the

long been conspicuous for his deep and
intelligent interest in American yachting.
He returned less than year ago from
an extended tour with bis family and his
father-in-law, the late Mr.. Peter Stuyvesaut, in
Europe; and he was still in the prime of life,
and to all appearance in the flush of health and
strength, when he fell without warning under
his own roof, and in the midst of those whom he
loved.
