st. Mary's Market in Decline-A sRg.
gestion.

This market once one of che liveliest and
fullest in orr city, is in 90 decided decline.
The building and all its surroundings wear
dreaIy look and fully one-third Of the
stalls are vacant. a few years ago this
section had % prosperous community, and
there is no good reason why it should be
deserted. A change is needed, and almost
anything would be an Improvement. 1t is
suggested that she puoccupied portion be
made profitable by converting II into some
thing like bazar market. The neigh bor-
hood is thic]-'y settled by small purchas sers,
such as seldom or never visit CanG' street
for shopping, and they would be greatly
accommodated r change, such as is hinted
at, were consummated. Meat sellers world
find their receipts nearly doubled, and the
city thereby obtain more money for the
market. Besides, IT is thought that such an
alteration would raise the moral standard
Of that vicinity. The place is at present in
a d'apidated condition, forbiddlng in ap-
pearance, and the articles offered for sale
OF poor quality. Let something be done
to attract people, and st. Mary's market
may yet regain its former glory.

The Graphic Balloon.

The great air ship is still in process of
completion, but her end on this side of the
water seems to be near. She has received a
set of coIors, comprising six fagso four feet
long and two and half feet wide, mounted
on stats twelve feet long. They comprise
the stars and stripes and the mercantile
flags of England, France, Spain, Germany
and Sweden. These countries are supposed
to be the most likely to be the host of the
adventurous air pilgrims. The lifeboat of
the expedition has been completed, and is
supposed to be good enough to carry the
crowd across the pond if the balloon comes
near enough to the water. The whole con-
Germ is now on exhibition at the Capitoline
grounds, Brooklyn, New York, and will be
all the long looked f6r start, which os now

Your editorial Of the tbipSS -frse altimo,

request that Sou publish iS as 90 act of

Your allusion 20 the obituary which you
read is ungenerous. The mortliying report

licity but for the fact that mistook as
gentleman and friend one who proved him

necessary by a severe domestic atfiiction

Of course, if it suits yolr own or the
taste of your readers to evade legitimate
criticism by ungenerous allusiOn, to such
misfortunes, however much l may feel the
disregard of professional courtesy and
amenities of social life, cannot complain.
Your reference to the photograph is not
altogether clear, but is construed by my
friends as an offensive insinnation that my
silhouette ornaments that Republican in
stitution, the rogues' gallery, and your
special remembrance OF my service as
committee clerk of Republican Legisla-
ture is 'the most unkindest cut of ALL,
because in gratitude, more strong than

gives, perhaps. an air of probability to the
vile insinuatiOn.
But even if it be true that the photo

such legislators, may shock the sensi-
