people now give IL their confidence and
mean TO restore It TO power.
We have thus drawn for our correspond
ent the dividing line between these two
parties-the one corrupt because OF Its
long, irresponsible, aud almost unrestrict-
ed tenure Of authority, and because the
worst men have got the upper hand in it,
and also centralizing, tending to the con-
solidation Of power in the hands of the
Federal Government; the other pure, be-
cause long exclusion from power has left
the control in the hands of its better ele-
mepts, and also holding MS its fundam entail
doctrine to local self-government and the
development and strengthening Of the po-
litical ideas, traditions, aud institutions
which prevail in the Declaration OF indie
pendence and the original organization Of
the republic.
This is the dividing line between the par
ties, and our correspondent can, we think,
now choose intelligently between them.

pictures OF London high life suggest the
days Of JUvESAL- Its lords and ladies are
profigates and sinners, and Its society
talk is that Of men and women destitute
OF sense or modesty. We refer particu-
larry to a series Of papers II publishes
from supposed contributor inside of high
life. OF course, this sort OF illustration OF
London society is mostly libellous, but it
is a straw.
II Is plain that the time for putting so

DCNsBY WHITNEY.

The young editor of the Powerful N8H
is fond Of writing about schools. teachers, ana
pupils. and yesterday he spread himself UNI
usually on this important theme. His article Is
shallow, snobbish, ignorant. false in Its estimate
Of the comparative values aud distinguishing
compens itions OF professional services, and, In
deed. In all respects characteristic OF the Mind.
This Is OF little consequence; but II is OF con
sequence when a pretender mounts the pulpit

debauches tue public taste with shoddy writing
Tell the fathers aud mothers who read your

cause Of their Office; that they shall not wor-
snip the main chance; that they shall not toady
to the ricn nor lack in sympathy for the poor;
that they shall In all honesty hold and express
opinions that they shall carry themselves with
simplicity and not vaingloriolsly that they
shall take nothing, not even IN the way Of fame,
that Is not Justly theirs that they shall hold
their honor higher than gold, their self-fespect
above the Establishments Of nattcry; that they
shall be what they seem. aud shall take thought

day.
But one thing more was requisite TO rem

sary-absolutely necessary, in the opinion
Of these pious toadies-to make the Presi-

VINCENT was deputed TO air the eloquence

preached the object of alteration In

trepidatiOn, lest the boot-licking process

less understood that DEEMS could never be
rivallcd I'm that special devotional exercise
of which the President had just been the
subject, and so he announced that his
present intention was merely to give him
the Bibles. "Slver and gold we have not
to give" said VINCENT, and as he spoke
dark shade passed over the Presidents
countcuancc and the stubble Of his IRON
gray beard was observed to bristle with
uncommon ferceness. "Silver and gold
we have not 10 give, but we desire to pre-
sent you in memory OF this occasion with
the symbol of our work" The Presidents
eyes were cold aud stony until VINCENT,
apparently in mere desperation, remarked,
These are well bound, well printed, well
projected"
At this announcement of their pecuniary
value, the muscles of the Presidents
face relaxed, and with a smile half kind

Mayor Wickham's Dunsby.

A fortnight ago to-day Mayor WICK
HAM transmitted to the Common Council
resolution which the Rapid Transit Com
missioners desired to have passed. The
essence of the resolution is contained in
the following modest request:
Resoieed That ia hereby given for the oca
On, construction aud operation OF steam railways or
connections thereof In ove under through, or across
city subject to the control Oh the Common Council"
The Common Council appear to have
thought this to be pretty steep request.
They suspected an African in the wood
pile. Accordingly, they transmitted to
the new Corporation Counsel Mr.. w. 9.
WHITNEY, request TO give them answers
TO six very carefully drawn questions re-
spectng their powers and duties touching
the passage of such a sweeping resolution.
Among other things the Common Council
were afraid that the working Of Art. 8,
Sec. Is, of the new Constitution, would
make il "cvident and logical" that the
routes should be located by the Rapid
Transit Commission before they asked the
Common Council to approve of them.
But Mr.. BUNsBY WHITNEY places the mat
ter in nutshell, and true to the wishes Of
Mayor WICKHAM, says:

4 CONTEST or POETS.
Child-, A. VI. Fur Ahead Of Tennvson.

From, me BrookiyH Atgus.
Alfred Tcnnyson having packed mp his
duds and completed his arrangements To 90 To
tine Continent, AT down ana wrote letter To
his fellow poet Chllds In which, inter ala, he
saws:
"You are doing a great work. People think
too seldom ~ death. The world and is vani-
ties are always before them. such poetry ~
yours teinpers their frivolous eXultation, and
turns their thoughts To sections and sepulchres
aud worms
This set Chllds to thinking, and the result Of
his mediation came ont a few days ago In the
following lines;
Come to the graveyard, Maud
In the gloom Of the fallng night,
The sentinel to"'bstoncs rise
Coid. silent, ana CHASTITY white.
Wen sit on some pallid slab,
And think ~ the aear ones again
OF poor little sCalded Bob,
And Hannah Maria Jane,
Gone TO shout Tor glory.
We think that the foregoing reveal strength
and richness of genius Of which the poet has
not hitherto been suspected, and that u oWln-
burne would only stimulate nin on letter. ne
might produce something TO vie with the best
efforts OF Ovid or Anacreun.
