Let us begin with the frank abandon
ment Of any formal parlor, but, taking
the largest and peasantost aud most ac'
oessfbe room In tho house, let ms give il
up to the wife and children in the day
time, and to the meeting of the whole
family when evening comes. There ia
not much need at the present time to en-
phasize this suggestion, for Il is one which
experience and necessity have already
made to a good many people; and now
that the problem, GLOW to get a dwelling
at a rent within moderate means il be-
ing solved by the increase Of "ilats' aud
the apartment houses, the ''parlor' must
be given up, there being no provision
made for II in the common plans. But II
is by no means my notion that the living
room should be homely, matter.oi.fact
apartment, conseCrated TO tho utilities,
while the MUSES. and Graces are left to
kick their heels in the hall On the oou.
trary, we want in tho liyiDg-room, for a
foundation, that the furniture shall be the
best designed aud best mado that VIC can
afford, aud all OF il intended to be used
aud necessary to our comfort; not an ar
ticle to be allowed that doesn't earn its
living, and cannot prove its right to be
there. These wants being provided for
first, then we will admit the ornaments
Of life--casts, pictures, engravings, books
brouzes, chief nourshers in lile's feast
but in the beginning these arc to be few,
and of the choicest, and the greatest care
is to be taken in admitting a newcomer,
The room, from the very first, ought to
represent the culture of the family
what is their taste, what feelings they
have for art; il should represent them
selves, and not other people, aud the
troublesome fact is, that it will and must
represent these, whether its owners would
let 1t or no. II young people, after they
have secured the few pieces Of furniture
| that must be had, aud made sure that
they are what they ought to be, have some
money left to get picture, an engraving,
or cast, they ought to 90 to work to
supply this want as seriously rs they
would the other, which seems the more
necessary, but in reality is not bit more
necessary / look upon this ideal living
room Of mine as an important agent In
the education OF life it will make a great
difference 10 children who grow up ia il,
and to all whose experience il associated
with it, whether It be beautiful aud
cheerful room, or only bomeiy and
bare one, or q mere formal and converse
tional one. The relation Of theal things
to education is all that giy3s any digaity
OF poetry to the subject, or makes it al.
llowable for reasonable man 10 give
much thought 10 il. Bat il has a real VI
tai relation 10 life aud plays an important
part IN education, and deserves 10 be
thought about a great deal more than tits.
1t Is therefore no tdling matter whether
we hang poor pictures on our walls Or
good ones, whether we select a iue cast
OF second rate one We might almost
a. well say il makes no difference wheth-
or the people we live with are hrst-rAie
or second-rate.--Scrjbner for June.

I. O., himself and his associate counsel-''nnd
no suspicion that like agencies had influenced
the construction OF the highest court" He
even goes SO far as TO throw out an intimnton
against Chief Judge Church. Abiding to Gov
ernor Tilden Mr.. O'Conor says, "a glance at
the names that during the preliminary canvass
came into notice as his rivals for nomination
to the executive chair would be suggestive of
pertinent inquiries" Considering that the
most prominent Of those rivals was Judge
Church this is a curiously suggestive hint in
such connection, as Is also the allusion to
the fact that the Court of Appeals was elected
when the Tweed regime was at the height of
its power in tho State. Mr.. O'Conor suggests
a possibility of further impeachment of
judges, and states that four-fifths of the men,
bers OF the Court of impeachment are soon to
be elected. He indeed mentions only local
judges in this connection, but the whole bur-
den of his argument is against the judges of
the Court of Appeals, who have SO often de-
feated justice and saved the robbers by over
ruling the local tribunals If the local de-
oisions had stood Mr.. O'Conor and his asso-
ciates would have triumphed in each of the
Ring suits. Speaking of the final decision of
the first by the Court of Appeals he says,
'"This was the peculators' first triumph"
He goes on to describe the second, and
adds, at was the second triumph of
peculation Coming to the cnse i'm
mediateiy in hand he says Whatever
may become Of these two decisions the
third is likely to live in story" Live in story
it undoubtedly would if it should be made
ground of impeachment against the Judges OF
the Court of Appeals. Reminding them of
the fact that the thirty-two Senators who form
four-fifths of the Court of Impeachment ''will
soon be elected" is very noteworthy in pro-
duction whose main intent is to bring the
Court of Appeals INTO discredit and vindicate
the decisions of the local courts. If further
impeachmcnts of judges are necessary in
order to secure justice upon peculators the
readers of Mr.. OConor's letter can hnve no
doubt as to where, in his opinion, this great
remedy should be applied. The public rob-
bers escape because the eour. of last resort,
sswth unvarying constancy," reverse the
decisions OF the local courts against them
and have given the peculators first second
and third triumph. This is bold hint
which the menaced judges will not be slow to
understand, and it is only with a view to i'm
parchment that there would be justification
in assailing their character with SO much
severity by the head of the New York Bar.

our Rinemen Mt wimbledon.

The uuwillingness of the Wimbledon au-
thorities to extend the usual courtesies to the
members Of the American team has produced
an un willingness on the part of some men,
bers of the team to take any part in the
meeting. We always had the utmost conf
dence in the manliness and self-respect of the
team, and it is not to be wondered at that
some of the members resent strongly the un-
friendly attitude assumed toward them by the
Wimbledon Council. We can understand the
effect of letter such as that sent 10 the captain
of the team by Mr.. Parson, of the English
eight, on gentlemen like Colonel Bodine
and Mr.. Yale, and the natural resentment
they feel toward the men who had the bad
taste to send It, The acceptance of the elee-
mosynary cup proffered by the Wimbledon
Council was probably only an act of ordinary
courtesy in the opinion of Colonel Glider
sleeve, but il will be seen by our cable de-
spatches that it does not commit the team,
and that some of the members may refuse to
take part in the contest. We cannot see what
English rifemen have gained by the course
they have seen fit to pursue. In refusing to
meet on their own ground the American team
they have acknowledged the superiority of
our marksmen, and their refusal to fight is
more disastrous to their reputation than would
have been an overwhelming defeat. We hope
the differences existing at present between
our rifemen and the Britishers may be salts
factorily arranged, so as to allow our men TO
measure themselves on equal terms with the
English and Scotch marksmen. If not we
fear our people will consider that the Ameri-
can rihemen have been shabbily treated by
their dear British cousins.

The French Governments Sustained
in tho Assembly.

During the session of the French Assembly
yesterday member delivered a speech ei
three hours duration ON the subject of tina
annulment of the legislative election in the
Department of the N.evre. NJ. Savary, the
speaker, is the reporter of the COMMITTEES
upon Elections in that district He re-
ferred to the prominent dangers which
are just now present before the Re-
public. These he classifies as Bonapart-
pound of political elements, apparently, but
power which has hitherto moved France
rapidly in the most remarkable eras of her
modern history. Minister Buffet said that
the Bonapartists are more dangerous to Macs
Mahon than the revolutionists-an acknowl-
edgment which may be taken as another indi.
cation that the policy of the President is and
will be that of a progressive reformer under
the guide of moderate conservatism. The
members of the different party sections were
deeply agitated at times. NJ Gambetta was
moderate in his expression. He was, per-
haps, pleased with the confession of the Ex-
ecutive against the Bonapartists, and its par-
tial adoption of the revolution. The division
appeared to warrant this assumption, for the
government managed to obtain vote of con-
fidence by four hundred and eighty-three to
three votes. The members of the Extreme
Left sustained defeat; the Bonapartists ore
pleased the President is so, most probably;
SO that the government must remain pretty
much as it is until after the general election

own stupidity. The excuse made by their
spokesman for voting against the water ordi-
nance was desire to obtain information on
the subject When that information was
rendered by the Commissioner of Public
Works they objected to receive it, Tho
course of Alderman Morris and his associates
proves the folly Of the minority representa-
tion principle. If these Aldermen, without
constituencies at their backs and denied the
confidence OF their districts, had not been
legislated into Office the public business would
not have been obstructed, the impending
danger of destructive confngration would
have been averted and the abominable nui.
sance of the pestilential Harlem fats would

LrUSDATIoNs IN FRANcE.-The frightful
calamity which lately befeIl the fairest dis
tricts of France, causing widespread dcstruc-
lion of life and property, has made profound
impression on this side of the Atlantic and
created deep-felt sympathy and an earnest de-
sire to alleviate such miseries by practical
.harity. When Chicago was almost swept ont
of existence by fire the generous nature Of the
French people was evinced in the most noble
and kind-hearted manner and on numerous
occasions, from the days OF the Revolution
down 10 the present time, the American people
have had reason to feel grateful for the active
sympathy of the French nation. There is an
excellent opportunity to return those fayors.
Our Franco-American fellow citizens have
responded nobly to the appeal and it may be
earnestly hoped that all others will follow
their example. A subscription list has also
been opened at Montreal by the French Vice
Consul, and in this city at the Office of the
Consul General of France, acting under in
structions from the Duke Decazes, Minister Of
TorAin0 Affairs.

The RAPID TRANSIT COMMISSION was again
in session yesterday, but its proceedings
were yelled in secrecy. We publish q COM
munication sent to the Board by Mr.. Daniel
Butterfeld, advising that no specific plan of
construction be determined on by the Com
missioners, but that the choice of materials
and mode of building be left in great meas
ure TO the contractors II is fatal OBJ
lection to this advice that the Commission
ers cannot adopt it in consistency
with the law which requires them TO
decide on plan after examining such as
may be offered for their consideration. The
Law under which they act also requires them
to fix the amount Of capital stock and divide
IL into shares. How can they estimate the
cost Of the road and fix the capital stock ex-
cept on the basis of some definite plan of
construction which prescribes the kind and
amount of materials? Moreover, the public
authority must judge whether the conditions
imposed on the contractors are complied
with, which is impossible il 80 much is LETT TO
thoir discretion.

CUBA. Exactly who is maneuvring the
latest plan for the termination of the war in
Cuba, or even who is man@uvring the pub
lished story in regard to that plan, we cannot
say; but the story is put forth adroitly and
is one of the sort that should be true. If
there is no such plan it should be invented
Immediately, for the story involves the right
parties-the United States, England and Ger
many. Germany is quite ready to take q
hand in the hope that her good influences
will inure to her advantage in the possession
of q port in the West Indies England would
like to help in order to see the dispute in
Cuba settled on basis that would keep the
island out Of our hands, and we should be de-
sirous to further every step of the inevitable
progress of Cuba manifest destiny" So
there is not such plan on foot it should be
put on foot at once. What does Uncle Dick
know about it?

INDICTMENTS AGAINST LOADER AND PRICE,
were found by the Grand Jury of Kings
county yesterday, and they are expected to be
arraigned to plead to the indictments to-day.
They will doubtless get their deserts in the
State Prison, but their conviction will depend
as much on the confession of Price and the
observation-disclosures of Loader as on the testi-
mony of Mr.. Beecher and Mrs Tilton, the
only witnesses against them. IF their filthy
story had been consistent with itself and
steadily adhered to it would have been diff.
cult to convict them, because the parties to
such illicit intercourse as they swore to would
equally contradict them whether their story
were true or false. It's intrinsic improbability
make very strong case against them, and
their trial may not occupy more minutes than
that of Mr.. Beecher did days. They have
really no defence and will receive speedy
retribution. Moulton will never be tried for
perjury, and it would be absurd to attempt it,
because he could never be convicted if guilty.
The law requires two witnesses in case Of
perjury, and from the nature of the circum-
stances Moulton could be confronted with but
one. If he committed perjury it was in
swearing to statements made to him by Mr..
Beecher when they were alone, and Mr..
Beecher is the only witness who could be
brought into court to contradict him. There
will be no perjury trials except those Of
Loader and Price

Txz OvERHAULINo OF THE CUSTOM HOUSE
of this port by special agents of the Treasury
brought from other cities will be great thing
if the rascals are discovered and punished. 1t
would be premature to praise the inyestiga-
ton until it is seen whether it is likely to be
successful. A statement made 10 one of our
reporters by a Treasury agent will necessitate
great change of opinion as to the recent con-
dition of our foreign trade If proved by COM
petent evidence. We have been consoling
ourselves with the Treasury statistics pur-
porting to show large excess of exports over
imports, which is a delusion if it be true
that "nearly one-third Of the goods imported
into this port last year we're undervalued fifty
per cent or smuggled boldly" Neither the
smuggled goods nor the undervaluations sp-
pear in the government returns, and we there
fore know nothing of the actual amount of
our imports.

The TAArdANY BRous CONTINUE to excite
the interest and incite the eloquence of the
corner grocery politicians. Will Morrissey
be expelled? is the momentous question
among the short hairs. 1t may probably be
consolation for them to learn that there can
be no 'expulsion" about the matter. The
Tammany Committee on Discipline is exam
ining the condition of the Assembly
district in which Mr.. Morrissey resides,
with the object of ascertainipg whether
any cause exists for reorganization
of the district in the interest of the
regular democracy. This duty is assigned to
the Committee on Discipline by the Commit
tee on Organization, and the former commit
tee will report to the latter committee the re-
suit of their inquiry If they find it unne-
cessary 10 reorganize tho district they will so
declare. If they find reorganization desira-
BILE they will report that fact, together with o
resolution directing such action to be taken
by the district If the Committee on Disci-
pline shall accept this report and resolution
the reorganization of the district must
take place. No action is necessary on the
part of the General Committee, the full power
in such cases being delegated by the rules
and bylaws to the Committee on Organiza-
ton. The Assembly district must then be
reorganized and if Mr.. Morrissey has
strength enough in his district to get back on
tho General Committee he returns to Tam
many Hail. II not he goes out This is the
polite manner in which such affairs are man
aged. There Is no expulsion. Nothing un-
gentlemanly takes place. The offending men,
Der, if he goes out, is handed to the door by
kidded hands, not kicked out by hob-nailed
boots.
