Babes i'm the Park.

To the Editor of the Press:
If our young and handsome Mayor knew
how many fond mammas would bless him.
how many nursemaids would look upon him
with alteration, am sure he would not hest
tate longer to throw open the gates of Lincoln
Park for the baby-carriages.
Many of these poor infants are not familiar
with Central Park, or even Boston Common as
drive. Their rustic bridges, cool sequestered
hooks, winding paths and artificial lakes are
only known to them by tradition; but Lincoln
Park is before them, in plain sight; its cool
green walks and sparkling fountain are spread
out before the infant vision, allurng, entcing
and beautiful; but alas! how NEAR and yet SO
far"
Is our Mayor the father Of numerous off
spring? / hope so for then he can but answer
my appeal in the affirmative.
Can he imagine himself shut out from Para
disc in the dust and dirt, il. full view of the
elysian fields If he can let him repent e'er
it is too late and give the word of command to
open wide the gates and though St. Peter holds
the key usually, our Mayor shall be st. George
to all the rising generation forever. He shall
he canonized on the Fourth and all the babes
in the land shall cry aloud for him.
/ take pleasure in subscribing myself

ment in regard to closing the fancy good stores
at o'clock every evening but Saturday is max
ing encouraging progress, all but two of the
fancy goods firms in the city having given their
consent to the proposed change. The opposing
firms claim that ladies prefer to shop by gas
light and that they do the greater part of their
shopping in the evening. There is a certain
class of women, we are aware, that do all
their business in the evening, but we do not be-
leve the ladies of this city wish to entail longer
hours and harder work upon the employees of
the fancy goods shops just to crafty a desire to
shop by gas light. The ladies ought to be will
ing to make little sacrifice in the matter.

A New York paper says, in reference to the
defeat OF the Mormon bill, that .'the gentle
opposition in Utah affirm that they are in pos
session of one check for $40 600 that was paid to
a prominent Representative, and also the
checks paid to the publisher of a Washington
paper, and to popular correspondent of a
Western paper, and, besides these, other evil
dence or corruption in favor of Brighams pro-
jects."
Some such charge of bribery was made
against the Mormons during the last session of
Congress, and was denied by them in very posi-
tive terms. Now that the charge is renewed,
let US have the names of the prominent Rep
resentative" and the publisher of a Washing
ton paper" and the popular correspondent of
Western paper" that got these checks. Ii
there are any black sheep here tarred with the
Mormon money let US know who they are.
These vague charges amount TO nothing, and
have the ppearanee of being manufactured for
a purpose.

Although telegram suthorititavely states
that General Davis has gone on a scout with
Hooker Jim, Bogus Charley, Steamboat Frank,
and several other of the Modoc worthless who
recently surrendered the story requires con-
firmation before it can safely be accepted even
by the moderately incredulous. Most people
challenge the right "to live, move, and have his
being" Of at least one of the savages who il is
reported are engaged in hunting down Captain
Jack. We refer to that delectable hair litter
and tomahawk singer, Hooker Jim, who was
one Of the party who massacred Gen. Candy
and Peace Commissioner Thomas. According
to accounts received at the time Captain Jack
shot CANDY, Boston Charley killed DIR. Thomas
Hooker Jim chased Dyer TO kill him, when the
latter turned and fred upon his pursuer. Ii
may be policy at present to waive our little ac-
count with Hooker James, but justice requires
that sooner or later he should receive his de-
serts- Ii Gen. Davis has really gone out to hunt
captain Jack with the party in question, il Is
quite probable he is accompanied by an escort
OF cavalry large enough TO prevent the consum-
nation of any scheme Of treachery which the
Modocs may cherish. The simple statement
that the latter have gone out with the ayowed
purpose of hunting down and killing their
former chief is in itself suspicious, and If true
illustrates an unnatural and despicabIe trait
in the Indian character.

We do not concur in the views of many who
regard the late CONGREGATIONS in Boston as spe-
cial visitations of Providence to punish the
denizens of the Hub for their manifold short
comings- Boston is wicked enough in all con-
science, and there should be no sympathy with
the pride which arrogates to her citizens social,
moral and intellectual superiority over the rest
Of mankind. We cannot believe, however,
that Providence, who sends rain upon the lust
and the unjust alike, steps aside to infiict pun
shment in special instances. If such were
really the case New York and several other
cities we wot of would have been reduced To
smoldering heaps of ruins long since.

1t is possibly our fault; but really we are not
able 70 see how anybody is bettered by the pub
hcatlon of the covenant entered into be-
tween Henry e. Bowen, Theodore Tilton and
Henry Ward Beecher, a year or more ago. 1t
doesn't clear the atmosphere at all, and If it
has any effect on the public mind it appears to
us 1t must be to enforce the conviction that
where there is so much smoke there must be
some fire concealed. Else why a covenant?

There are unpleasant indications of the re-
turn of the epizootic which so generally
afflicted the equines last fall. The telegraph
reports about hundred cases of the disease in
Brooklyn and on Coney Island, and an epidemic
Is feared. Ii is hoped that il may prove simply
endemic. Aside from the loss of horse flesh
which was not inconsiderable throughout the
country last year, the suspension of business on
account of the prevalence of the disease occa-
stoned great inconvenience and doubtless in
volved the loss of millions of dollars.

The telegram published elsewhere announcing
that the president of the Union Pacific railroad
has decided to locate the depot of that line In
Omaha, instead of Council Bluffs, gives ground
to the apprehension that the swindle of treating
the bridge over the Missouri river between
those two points as a separate interest is to be
perpetuated. IL this be permitted by govern
ment, il will amount to nothing more nor less
than direct violation of the company's char
ter, and an outright robbery of every passenger
who travels over the road.
