Without another word she left the room,
closing the door behind her, and leaving
Arthur in the dark. who, having nothing to
do, began feeling his ankle, which he was
delighted to find was much better; the
sprain had been but slight, although ex-
tremely painful. Having relieved his mind
upon that point, he began musing over his
hOstess's want Of politeness, but he was dis
turbed by the sound of voices in the next
room, and turning IN the direction from
which they came, he perceived light shin
ing through a chink Of the wall
"Hallow thought Arthur, '.my hostess
told me she was all alone, and that is a
mans voice I'll swear. At all risks, viii
try to hear what they say; perhaps with the
assistance of that chink in the wall, may
see what they are after"
Placing his eye to the aperture, Arthur
gained good view of the next room, which
if anything, was dirtier than the one he oc-
cupied. A big, coarselooking man was
seated at table, drinking and smoking
whilst the old woman was crouching over
small fire, and putting loudly at a short
black pipe.

man; sin hObble like this you should risk

For some moments the two smoked on
in silence, evidently deep in thought, when

STRANGE SORT OF ECONOMY IN
LEGISLATION.

IL has been charged on the outside
that the present legislative body had
economy on the BRAIN TO such an
extent tina. IL was Liable 10 fall into
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and defeat the
passage OF just Claims against the State.
The action Of the Legislature, how
ever, a few days g in appropriating
n thousand dollars for the purchase
OF one hundred copies Of the statute
of this State of 1861, does not sustain
this assumption. A bill passed the
Senate appropriating one thousand
dollars for the statutes named, and
was sent TO the House, where il was
referred TO the Committee on Judi
ciary. While in the hand of That com
mittee, aproposition was received from
the State Printer to publish GOO copies
OF n! the general laws u~nrepealcd, in
the volume of 1861, and bind the same
with the statutes OF 1871, for the am
sum OF money-tbe Supreme Judges
TO designate tho laws which were still
In force. The Judiciary Committee
reported the facts as above stated to
the House, and recommended that the
proposition OF the State Printer he &C
cep;ed, instead of the one providing
for the purchase OF 100 copies which
had passed the Senate. The House.
however, refused TO accept the propo-
siiion made by the State Printer, aud
voted TO pay ten dollars per copy for
N hundred copies, instead OF one
dollar and sixty-six and two-third
cents per copy for six hundred vol
uines. After this exhibition oi
princely liberality or the part OF the
Assembly, no further fears need be
entertained that they will run economy
into the ground. So FAR rs the S;ate
Printer is concerned, he is rot, o.
course, disposed TO complain, As the
price was put so low tina; there was
but little it any margin for profit in
the work. His principal object wa "a
have the volume of the statutes fol
1871 swelled to an average SIC, which.
from present appearances. it will not
be, as but ten or n dozen laws have
been enacted so far. As there wa
no money in the offer, he can wei.
afford 70 have the proposition rejected
by the Legislature, il it thinks 1t i,
representing the true interests of thC
State in no doing.

The chances yesterday for getting rid of the
snow and slush which cucumber the streets
were glorious. The air was warm and of a
melting mood. The rain fell in torrents all
the forenoon. The cutters ran with water like
mountain streams. The snow heaps became
undermined and caved in gracefully to the
flood which was rushing onward to the sewers
and the rivers. In short, city inspectors and
street cleaners and all the salaried and or
ganized bands whose duty 1t is supposed to be
to keep the streets clean have been forestalled
by the weather. But unfortunately the rain
storm did not last long enough to complete it's
sanitary mission. Last night the air became
crisp again. 1t was evident that King Frost
was asserting his rights, and was disposed to
protest against the too sudden close of winter.
We are going to have plenty more of frost and
snow and nipping airs and sitting fogs on the
rivers before we see the butterflies and hum
ming birds again. But we ought to be thank
full for the blessings enjoyed by one days rain
Indeed, we ought to be very grateful to nature
for giving helping hand to our sleepy city
authorities. If these gentlemen would only
take the advice urged upon Mrs. Dombey and
s'make an effort" to assist nature we might
have our streets clean before the LIST of

Is 1t Vandalism 2

The bill known as Genet's bill, now
before the Legislature, for the opening
Of Lexington avenue, it is said proposes
to take in some fonr blocks which have
been purchased for the purpose of erect
Ing thereon building by the Industrial
Exhibition Company"-a palace of art and
science and machinery on moderate scale,
somewhat like the long-lost Crystal Palace
We want institutions of this kind. We are
behind all the leading cities Of the wcfsd in
this matter of public institutions located in
various quarters of the city, where resident
citizens and the thousands of daily visitors
from the country can 60 for instruction and
amusement. Therefore we can hardly afford
to lose the chance of obtaining popular
institution such as this which we are informed
is to be erected in Lexington avenue. We
presume that this highway can be opened with
the perfect satisfaction of all the requirements
of the occasion, without infringing upon pro-
perty already purchased and set apart for
purposes in which the whole community is
interested. The Legislature should look up
this job with very keen eyes before they pass
the bill. 1t Is an old stager. 1t was trotted
out upon the boards at Albany last year, and
comes up again little modified, but modified
in the wrong direction.

North American Colonial AgitatIou-Nsva
Scotia's Opposition to the High Commission.

North American Colonial AgitatIou-Nsva
Scotia's Opposition to the High Commission.
Queen Victoria's appointment Of High
Commission to treat with the United States
government on the subject matters which
remain In dispute between the two countries
has agitated the minds Of her Majesty's sub
jects in North America vastly. Tho Nova
Scotians are alarmed for their fishing interests
They have debated the subject In the provin-
cial legislature In very animated manner.
BY telegram report from Halifax we learn that
the lawmakers Of Nova Scotia have placed on
the records of their Parliament very forcble
protest against any attempt at the trading
away OF their local interests by the Dominion
Of Canada men. They stand upon their
integral colonial rights as they have been
guaranteed by the Crown of England, and re-
pudiate the idea of government absorption
and representative ebiteration at the hands Of
the Dominion people in Ottawa. The truth of
the matter is that the operation of the very
canvass of this Joint High Commission move
ment will tend to elucidate many international
subjects as between England, he North
American colonies and the United States,
bringing into prominent notice--as our
dispatches to-day tend to show-the artisan
and industrial depression which is produced in
the cities of the great republic in consequence
of our having the frontier border tapped
laterally from Canada by the introduction into
our markets of smuggled goods of British
manufacture--produced at the rates of
pauperized labor in Birmingham, Bradford
and Manchester-by which American CAPT.
talists are really undersold in their own home
market. This High Commission matter will
become very interesting before the close of the
sttings of the delegates in Washington.

The DISCIPLINE of Lent.

His Grace the Archbishop of New York has
issued his pastoral instructions for the peni-
tential observance of the holy season Of Lent
in the shape Of a circular, which is addressed
to the Catholic congregations which have been
committed to his care through the clergy. The
disciplinary routine differs scarcely at all from
that which has been enjoined by the American
branch of the Roman Catholic Church during
the past few years. The publication Of the
rules, however, denotes the herarchical au-
thority, while the obedience of the congrega-
tions gives evidence Of the universally of that
powerful bond, the unity of faith, which links
the Catholics Of the world to the clergy and
binds them to the altar in every cline.
Wednesday next will be Ash Wednesday. On
that morning will arise grand fish question for
the housewives of New York-how and where
to get the fish, and how to cook them best
when they are had? These will divert the
active mind Of the metropolis from the Joint
High Commission and the British fishery
subject to very considerable extent.
Our relations, both with the English and
Canadians, may be much more friendly on
Easter Sunday morning, Notwithstanding the
ominons fact-for dyspeptics particularly
that thousands of free Americans will have in
the meantime '1ived for forty days on i'll
dressed iishes,' and many, very many, others
"dined in sin on ragout' during the same
period.

THE POPE, THE PEOPLES AND TILE LAY
CROWNS. We have special letter from Rome,
published in our columns to-day, which goes
to show that the aged Pontiff, Plus the Ninth,
defends what he considers the right Of his sue
cessors and of the Church in the present,
sturdily and with brave spirit amid many
distracting and very Immediately conflicting
influences. His eminent and indefatigable
Secretary of State, Antonell, standing on the
principle of legitimate right, has officially exc
pounded to contradictions of Italian royalism
in the Holy City to the surrounding thrones.
The two principles of government remained in
every day contradiction, the one of the other,
as will be seen from our correspondence. In
the meantime, however, "Young Italy" dis
ported itself pleasantly near the Vatican in the
persons of Prince Humbert and his wife, the
Princess Marguerite.

THE AsIATIo CHOLERA A correspondent
calls our attention to an extract from recent
issue OF the HERALD touching the ravages of
the cholera in India at the present time, and
suggests the proprety Of timely precautions
against its introduction here by ships from
the East Indies. We throw out the hint to
our health authorities and to the government
at Washington. Surely when danger is threat
ened the closest vigilance is advisable con-
cerning the movements Of this terrible
Asiatic pestilence.

THE TENNESSEE. Nothing has yet been
heard of this steamer. The government is
satisfied that the one reported as being seen
of the coast of Hayti was not her. We were
satisfied on that point when the despatch was
received, and, like the government, we are
also satisfied that the Tennessee will be heard
from In due time, which is when the island of
st. Domingo Is heard from, and that will not be
for few days yet. Have patience, anxious
ones. Your relatives and friends are safe, and
enjoying balmy tropical temperature, the
fruits and other delicacies Of tropical climate;
the eourteses and attention of their sable
tropical brethren; they are being shown all
the good points Of the island. Nothing dis
agreeable is permitted to come before their
eyes, and the news of our being so much
worried on their account will be the first un-
pleasant incident of their excursion.

MARINE INSURANCE. marine insurance
companies of this city make return of their
business operations for the year 1870. The
number of companies who join in this return
amounts to nine. The figures show total OF
premiums paid to the extent of $l3,871 ,537.
The losses and expenses mount up to
81, ,203, 1888, while the gross assets show a
total of nearly twenty-five millions. The nine
companies put down their net profits for the
year at $2,s47,14l From this we infer that,
despite the frequent disasters at sea which we
have to record from day to day, the marine
insurance business is paying affair

THE GoUTY OLD BRITISH LION is getting
more kicks than compliments in the British
Parliament. They say in that body that Eng
lands hesitancy has lost the respect of the
belligerents in the Franco German war, and
that 'the tight little island" may next be called
upon to defend her national existence. Nor is
there any telling what s'those blarsted Proc
ehians" may next be after, inasmuch as they
iave limited that they are disgusted, as we
were some time ago, with what John Bull calls
neutrality,
