He turns round three times at each SEN
tence. and tells you the exact way IN
which each country of the globe came
into the possession of bis family and HIM

and refuses to water his garden because
if his Father, God, wished it watered he
would send rain, and to interfere would
be disobedience On bis part.
Further down the island comes the
Work House, filled with drunkards, va
grants, street-walkers; and further still
the Aims House for the aged. blind and
decrepid. One department of this insti-
tuition is the Incurable Hospital, occupied
by old men and women, paralytics, and
sufferers from incurable disease. More
than one has come here to cad life
which has endured already for more than
century, and all have exceeded the al
lotted three score and ten.
Next is the Penitentiary, with its 900
cells, all full, and its distinguished guest,
Boss Tweed, performing resignedly and
quietly the mental duties of hospital
orderly. What an episode in the politi-
cal annals of New York VIM. NJ.
Tweed, who ruled US ALL who gave and
who took away, whose statue was to dec
crate our public squares, brought up a
felon on the very boat which had so often
borne him and his retainers of the Amer
icus Club as distinguished visitors to the
island. tumbled into the bath-tub by a
man whom he had himself appointed,
shaved, cropped, clothed in stripes and
cast into cell six feet by for! There is

him the credit for the perfection of the
management is entirely due. He is de-

and best in the country. He is man
of wonderful attainments. which, COIN
bined with great executive ability. makes
him emphaticailv the very man for the
place.
LABOR IN THE CITY.
On Friday last another attempt was
made by the foreign agitators to bring
about conflict between labor and CAPT.
tai. A meeting was to have been held
10 the City Hall Park, but it was not
held. The real laborers were too busy
and the agitators could do nothing with
out them. The times are undenlab!y
hard, but there is, nevertheless. labor
for every man who will work And to
show the groundlessness of this move
ment the Commissioners OF Emigration
have offered to pay the fares of a large
number of the ,dl., able bodied inmi
grants to parts down South, where labor
is in demand.
These foreigners will keep on disturb
ing things till one Of these fine days they
will raise native American party that
will amount to something. The Com
munists and InternationaIists in Europe
have grievances here they have none j;
and the laborers of New York feel that
ali these disturbing are making uunec-
essary trouble.
THE WEATHER AND STREETS
