REFRACTORY CITY xARsHALs.

Almost every day complaints are lodged against
city fnarshals before His Honor the Mayor. some
OF which are frivolous. while others again only
contain too much OF grave reality to be lightly
overlooked.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Friedman, OF the nrm
OF Friedman q Webster, No. e8 Duane street, sub.
mitted an afidavit to Mr.. Emil Benevnle, Mayor
Havemeyers private secretary, charging John A.
Weth, o city marsnal, with gross misconduct
From the afndavit 1t appears that MIR. Weth called
az the above store and asked whether the frm
had case or Shaker SOCKS belonging to a
man named Isar. Mr.. Friedman answered that
Buch case had been bought by his house, and
showed the QuestiOner the entry on The cash book
and recetpted bill. The marshal said he would
take the goods, upon which Mr.. Friedman de-
manded his authority. Throwing card on the
moor, Weth said, "There Is my authority" at the
same time using rough and threatening language,
and accusing Mr.. Friedman OF receiving stolen
goods. MIR. Friedman told the marshal that unless
bond was given for the goods they could not
be moved. Weth then drew q revolver and
threatened to snoot those In the store. Captain
Kennedy was called upon and the rlOtous mar
shal arrested and brought to the sixth Precinct
station House, where he exhibited q document
looking like replevln, but which ne did not
show TO Friedman webster. The case WILL be
fully investigated by the Mayor.
The case OF Marshal Lnbuscher was further In.
vestigated BY MIR. Beneville yesterday, but no new
iacts were eItcited Captain Kennedy and several
other witnesses were on hand. The case Is not

David WOodstdes
The mystery in the case Of the unknown man
found noating In the dock foot OF pier No. North
River, under circumstances which indicated that
he might have been the victim Of foul play, was
partially cleared up yesterday. A MIR. Dee, who Is
engaged in the shipping business, identified the
BODY as that OF Mr.. David Woodslde. q retired sea
captain. who Tor twenty years past had been en-
gagged in shipping crews, bavng an Office loot OF
Dover leet East River. Captain Woodside was
married and lived at Bayonne, N. ]. He was tenn
perate man, but 10 said to have been unfortunate
IN business operations, having lost considerable
money. which left him In reduced circumstances.
On the afternoon OF the nth INST he left lis ofice
In Dover street, and being seen no more alive IL Is
believed that In O ut OF dependency he took his
own lie. There appears to have been no motive
for the infiction OF iata violence, as ne was sup
posed to have had no enemies, ana possessed bus
little or no money al the time OF his disappear
ance. Coroner Elckhon has the case In charge,

DRAWING AS A BRANCH OF EDUCATION

The Importance of drawing as a branch Of ed
ucation is perhaps hardly sufficiently estimated,
nor the valuable cultivation it affords to the per-
ceptiye powers and practical faculties of al
kinds. To learn to notice with keen eyes the
forms of things around US, their changes and
passing incidents is certainly of great practical
Importance, and nothing so cLltivates and stim-
ulates this power of seeing as learning to imi-
tate and fix the thing seen by drawing it. Lack
ing special cultivation, the most of us wall

story of eyes and No Eyes," noticing vaguely
or not at all the facts of the surrounding uni

absolute inability of witnesses to truthful,
state the things they saw, or rather which the,

We should rejoice to see some Of the time
which is in schools devoted to working count
less repetitions of examples in arithmetic, util-
lzed in learning to draw correctly not in copy
ing trumpery little landscape cards, OF course,
but in initiating real objects, "drawing from the

powers that take cognisance of outward things.

A PICCuEkE.
BY KLIzABETH AKBRs ALLEN.

Within my rooms serene seclusion
Dwells evermore pictured face,
Dream-haunted, like a rapt Carthuslan,
With solemn eyes of tenderest grace,
Which seem to compass land and sea,
Yet never look Tn me.
Oh, eyes which gaze beyond and over,
Yet never meet and answer mine,
What may your seaufast quest discover
On the horizons hazy hae?
What charm in yonder distance lies,
Oh, sad and wlstful eyes?
Hopeful despite their depth of grleving,
Still patiently they watch afar,
As though awaiting or perceiying
The dawn of some unrisen srar-
The star which often and again
My own have sought in vain.
Sometimes methinks its growing splendor
Brlghtens and gows on brow and cheek
The eyes grow luminous and tender,
The lips haf tremble as to speak,
And all the face transhgured seems
by sweet prophetic dreams.
All, II when years have told their story,
= hose dreams shall come disinely true,
That dim dawn bloom to sudden glory
This face will shine as angels do,-
These eyes, more dear than angels be,

Though talent may be transmitted hereditari-
iy, and special bent often appears in family
generation, the children of great geniuses are
notable breaks in the chain OF inherited intelIi-
gence, and rarely attain even the full average
which might be expected of them. The SON Of
Robert and Elizabeth Browning will perhaps be
the exception which proves the rule, though not
IN the direct line Of his parents genius. His
Dent is toward painting, and he is SAID to give
much promise of future distinction in that art
Best of all and least to be expected in the
child of such parents, is the fact that he was
distinguished at the University not for scholar
ship, but for muscular development and skill in
athletic sports. The son of Englands best-be-
loved poetess is in some sort the kin of all of
the same race and tongue, and what concerns
him interests the world.

1t can hardly be doubtful that the public opin-
ion of this city political and otherwise is strong
ly opposed to the maintenance of the monopoly
granted to the Excayator machine. This opinion
has been indicated pretty decidedly, already, and
it will be more strongly expressed, in future un-
less judicious adjustment of the difficulty is con-
ceded by the Board of Health If that body, in
recognition of the public feeling upon this ques-
ton, and in justice to its own reputation, as well
as to the unfortunate night workmen, will take
counsel Of its own better judgment, it will see,
we think, that single manly course is open be-
fore it. This is to open the monopoly, and grant
licenses to the old workmen. Let them have a
chance for living. Let them take employment
where 1t is offered them. Let them pursue their
honest and accustomed occupation without being
threatened with arrest and fine. The members
OF the Board Of Health certainly knew that the
colored people are debarred from nearly all me-
chanical trades, and that only the rude and poor
ly rewarded occupations are left open to them.
1t is, therefore, a hard case to drive them away
from an important branch OF their work. in or
Ger That patented machine may monopolize
the business,
The owners of the monopoly contract will stand
In their own lghtif they do not give up, willing
ly' whatever exclusive privilege they now hold
and ask the Board Of Health to let the hand
workmen have licenses, and chance for en-
ployment. If their machine is better, and cheap
err why need they fear competition2
Contrary to the statement Of those who wish
to involve and embitter the controversy of this
Excavator question, we have at no time reflected
upon the motives of the members of the Board
OF Health, and we now appeal to them to act in
manner at once fair and judicious.
