Summer Gardens.

The example Of Mr.. Thomas, whose in
fuence on the musical taste Of New York
could not be too highly commended, is about
summer garden at the Central Park, over
which Mr.. Thomas presdes, and we are now
about to have another at the Hippodrome,
which will DO under the inspiration Of Mr..
Gilmore. The purpose Of these gardens is to
furnish pleasant, attractive and thoroughly
reputable entertainment for a small sum OF
money. II is q disposition to cater TO that
outdoor sentiment which the Americans do
not possess in as large degree as tbs French
and Germans. The Englishman and tho
American are selfish creatures in some re-
spects. When the American goes to take his
ease in his inn he prefers to be alone and to
leave his family behind him. As a conse-
quence there is disposition on the part OF
both Englishmen and Americans to seek club
life and to provide amusements only Tor them.
selves, permitting tie ladies to do what they
please in the way Of entertainment and be
content with matinee on Saturday after.
moons. We like the Continental fashion much
DeLlGT. a gentleman buOulu HOJ NlSlG any
place where it would be improper for his
wife TO accompany him. Of course it would
be impossible for any lady to visit one place
out Of twenty of the resorts Of gentlemen"
barrooms and billiard rooms, places where
the American frequents. The advantage OF
these summer gardens is that the citizen may
take his family and be certain of an evenings
entertainment, without the restrictions in the
way of smoke aad drink imposed by the
opera or the theatre. He can smoke cigar,
or drink his glass Of beer or wine and stroll
around amid the flowers and cooling fountains,
and have much Of the enjoyment of home
We are glad to see this taste increasing in
New York. We hope that Mr.. Gilmore will
be rs successful with his garden as Mr..
Thomas has been, and if we could have four or
five others in different parts of New York
during these hot summer nights it would SO
far toward offering entertainment for our
people and improving the moral tone of SO
ciety.

reasonably hope for a more cordial state Of
feeling between the lately divided sections OF
our afflicted country. In proportion as they
come to labor together in the same cause as
Christians they will seek to bury whatever
may yet remain OF the old political animosi-
ties.
The Young Mems Christian Associations will
The more securely promote these benefcent
results BY the fact that they have 10 secular
or political aims. If they contemplated the
incidental consequences Of their labors their
motives would be open to Suspicion and their
influence impaired. We trust we shall not be
thought irrevcrent if we quote passage from
the Sacred Writings which places the unde-
signed effect of their labors in its true light.
Seek first says a high authority, "the
kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and oil these things shall be added
unto you really honest man is one who
is honest from principle; but he receives
what he does not directly seek the temporal
advantage which attends reputation for
probity. The freer his motive is from the in
fuence Of such incidental rewards the greater
is the certainty that they will follow him.
These Young Mems Christian Associations,
who think Of nothing beyond arousing and
quickenlng the religious sense of the
community, are of more value than
all the reform committees which look
merely to political publication. The
motives of professed political reformers
are always looked upon with doubt,
because the banner Of honesty may be raised
merely as a passport to Office. But an as
ISOLATION of men who have no other purpose
than to awaken dormant consciences and i'm
press those they con influence with the moral
beauty of Christian life are doing politi-
cal service which is quite foreign to their
contemplation. In proportion as the Christian
standard Of morals is made practical in CON-
munity there will be less need Of the vain
contrivances of mere politicians to stem the
torrent Of official corruption.

sides. If they only permitted it out OF care
lessness and stupidity they are unfit for then
places and ought to be removed tos
ineffciency. The other suggestion is equally
clear. The contractors have made large sums
Of money by falling to fulfil their contracts
with the city. The manner in which this
money was obtained was as much fraud
upon the city as if they had obtained it upon
false vouchers, without having done the work

Eric In London.

As will be seen by our special despatch from
London the price Of Erie shares improved IN
that market under the influence Of the news
that the road had passed into the hands Of a
receiver appointed by the Court. They un-
derstand there the exact significance Of an oc-
currence Of this nature from extensive expert
ence and in the present case they seem to
have readily comprehended that it was not
only the salvation of the road from the imme-
date ruin that was threatened by bankruptcy
and foreclosure, but that it was even an adj
vantageous fact aside from the consideration
of that danger. Any road in the position Of
the Erie can be run more economically by
receiver than it can be by the ordinary ma
chinery Of railway organization, and economy
is critical point in the case. With the road
in the hands of receiver all its purchases
are made on q cash basis, because they who
furnish supplies have an ample lien on the
property but supplies sold to an insolyent
corporation are necessarily sold at exorbitant
rates to cover the risk Of loss. Erie, there is
no doubt can pay its interest with fair man
agement in ordinary times, and the economy
thus insured is the great element toward
that result. 1t was said formerly, when the
road was rescued in the famous campaign
against Gould, that it only wanted honest
management; but the result Of the organiza-
ton then created was that ncapacity well
nigh completed what roguery had begun, and
the effort then made failed for that reason to
put the property on a good basis. Recently
it has been managed with honesty and ca
pacity; but in this unusual phase Of its his
tory it has had the misfortune to fall on evil
times-on a period when traffic is almost
dead, and when the little business done by
railways is done at ruinous rates, because of
the destructive competition Of a railroad war.
Out of this difficulty time alone can deliver
it; and the receivership gives time. We are not
surprised, therefore, to find the prominent Lon
don bankers who are familiar with American
securities giving utterance, as if by common
voice, to the opinion already expressed in the
HERALD, that the appointment Of a receiver in
the present circumstances is favorable TO the
interests Of the company. Our own people
interested in the welfare of this great prop
erty will note with satisfaction that the name
OF the receiver appointed is evidently in good
repute with the London bankers. The init
nation Of Mr.. Morgan that there was treach-
cry in the Erie Board is apparently founded
on erroneous intelligence, as the fact is known
here which was apparently not known to him
at the time Of speaking, that the failure Of
Erie TO borrow half million from the Della
ware and Lackawanna was not due to any diff
ference in the Erie Board but to disinclina-
ton TO lend the money from apprehension
that it might lead to troublesome litigation.

Henry Wilson on Ms Travels.

There must be some very profound mean
ing TO the journeyings and sojournings Of
Henry Wilson. He is like the wind which
bloweth where it listeth and no man knows
whence it cometh or whittier it goeth. A
fortnight ago be was at the deathbed of
Breckenridge. week later he was in Ten
nessee and Arkansas. At last accounts he
was at Leavenworth, Kansas, and we are
told he even consented to become the guest of
Senator Caldwell Why all this uneasy going
from State to State and from town to town?
Why this consorting with all sorts Of people?
Why those oracular speeches uttered in pri-
vate but intended for the public? Clearly
Mr. Wilson has made up his mind to get well
and become a candidate for the Presi-
dency. He would scarcely 60 to all this
pother unless he has some such design upon
his admiring countrymen. Indeed, we shall
not forgive him upon any other terms. II

An Indignation Meeting Called 80

IN AitEhhH rOE-
We print communication this morning in
regard 70 the outrageous manner in which the
Harlem fats have been filled that contains
one or two suggestions worthy Of the gravest
consideration. The first Of these is that an
indignation meeting shall be held by the
citizens Of Harlem and Yorkville to denounce
the wrongs inflicted upon them BY the plant
ing Of pest beds all over the upper part Of the
island on tho onst side. Our correspondent
also thinks that Commissioners Matsell and
Disbecker should be removed on account of
completely with this great wrong against the
city or reckless disregard Of tho public in
terests and the public health Another
suggestion Of orr correspondent-that
McQuaid and the other contractors shall DO

the city-is scarcely less important. We can
not see how we can withhold our assent to
either q these propositions. Mr.. Disbcckc!
in his garrulity has convicted himself Of par
