In an article on the above subject In ScrIo-
ner for September, DR.. Holland says: at is
with great qualification that we notice here
and there the organization OF village inn
provement societies and the beautiful work
which they are accomplishing. Wherever
they have been In existence long enough to
accomplish any thing. shade trees are planted
commons are fenced In, graded and planted:
sidewalks are laid In all the streets, and
public interest In order and beauty Is devel-
oped, which makes every man more careful
OF his own. Two villages, of which we hap
pened TO know, have been quite transformed
within two or three years by the operations
OF these organizations; and all their bench.
cent and beautiful work, already done, will
insure to their localities a certain amount of
beauty and convenience for the next hundred
years. They have not been met by the pub
lie apathy that they anticipated, and they
and festivals, to raise sufficient money for
the work they have instituted, while indi-
vdua! citizens have CO operated with them
There IL no good reason why every con-
siderable village Of the country should not
be made convenient, healthful, and beaut.
these. There 1s no good reason why q public
feeling OF pride should not be engendered by
them, and an earnest purpose developed to
make each village more attractive than its
OF the societies; for Improvement in beauty
and comfort means Improvement in value.
Emulation between peighb0rs and between
holders are shamed into efforts to contrio butte
to the popular desire for harmony. This is
not theory; 1t IL experience; for, wherever
they have been tried, these societies have
done the work and exercised the influence
we have stated.
Again, these societies are agencies of Gull
ture. Developing public spirit and feel
Ing OF local pride, they cannot fail to bear
fruit in other and higher directions. Public
and domestic architecture will be the first
TO feel the effect OF the new sentiment. Men
new order OF things. New ambition viii be
developed with relation TO public buildings
and their surroundings. The new town hall
Will be better than the old. The new church
Will be an ornament and glory, which the
old was not. Lyceums, reading clubs, and
Libraries, are just as natural An outgrowth
OF public spirit engendered by these socie-
as they are, themselves, the outgrowth Of q
public necessity.

"THE SCENT OF THE RosEs."-The most
ingenious trick that has yet been devised by
the poverty -strtcken swind Ter IL the "ottar
Of rose" 60 me. II Ii played In the following
manner: A worthy looking seafaring man
has been going around the business offices Of
this city, and contrary to the usual tom,
hasn't been asking for money, but has told
this narrowing tale. He said that he was
poor man, had been sick and lost all his mo-
Dey. He didn't ask for any aid. He only
wanted some purchasers for several bottles
OF that seductive perfume called the "ottar
OF roses" which were worth SIS apiece, but
under the circumstances he would sell for
81 so each. He found several purchasers,
among whom were very prominent fast
freight man and q distingufshed gentleman
who runs An insurance office. Both of these
gentlemen invested largely, thinking that
they bad indeed struck q bonanza; but upon
investigation they discovered that they had
paid $3.50 for Q bottle OF common hair oil,
scented with about drop OF ottar of rose.
After raking In about 500 the sailor skipped
and left no trace OF his whereabouts. In. less
than week we shall probably hear OF his
turning up In some smaller town. There is
no Likelihood Of his trying Indianapolis
again, at least during the present century

KEEPING AN EYE ON BAD MEN.
How II IL Proposed TO Watch Criminals
After their KcIeasr from Prison.

ALBANY, Feb. 23.-Sixty-eight Assembly
men responded to the roll call this evening and
spent two hours discussing bills In Committee
of the Whole. Among them were Watts's bill
cutting down salaries OF New York city oficials,
and Osden's doing the same thing for BROOKLYN.
Not much progress was made on either bill,
their movers consenting to postpone their con-
sideration until there shall be q fuller house.
Among the new bills Introduced was one OF con-
siderable Importance by Mr.. Englehart, entitled
an act TO provide for better supervision OF
persons convicted OF crime and to prevent the
assuming Of false names by persons charged
with crime. 1t provides that every person SEN
fenced to state prison OF penitentiary for a
period OF six months or more SHALL after his dis
charge from prison, report as often as twice a
month to the Superintendent Of Police OF cities
or to SheriGs Of counties, giving his name and
residence. date OF conviction and discharge,
and In case OF change Of residence notice
10 that effect shall be given to the same
private. and shall not be divulgcd cx-
