Governorship to that me- ~,,,o.. -
The Richmond rya W vgI
dem thinks it CO. VIE
sha. .ns nolnlnF lion for the presi-
uerhs ~ I'd one-the strongest
pelnaps' ~cept that of Bristow's,
q within the reach of the
co" IGNITION.
The Washington Star thinks
that whatever Individual prefer
ences may be entertained, there
can hardly be a doubt that, all
things considered, the nomination
of Governor Hayes for President is
| the strongest that the republican
party could make at the present
time.
The San Francisco Chronicle re-
marks "that the ticket is a strong
one. The republicans can now en-
ter upon the canvass carrying no
weight and free to wage an aggres-
sive warfare"
The San Francisco Alta says
"Of all the candidates before the
convention next to Blaine, Gov
ernor Hayes is the most popular.
The general sentiment seems to be
that Hayes is the second choice OF
almost every one, and that the
nomination will secure the united
support of the party. Wheeler's
nomination also gives general sat-
isfaction.
The Boston Advertiser (republi-
CAM says:
1.-THE nominations will be ac-
copied by the republican party
without reserve and with liveliest
feelings of satisfaction, and the
whole party can work harmoni-
ously to accomplish success. And
while Gov. Hayes is by no means
a leading representative of repub-
lican principles, the circumstances
under which the convention met
rendered the choice ofeither of the
leading candidates impossible
What has been done has been very
we'll done, ana the choice made is
every way desirable.
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, is
pleased with the ticket and says
it will receive the support of the
liberals and reformers of that
State.
Thurlow Weed will support
Hayes and Wheeler, and says the
ticket will certainly carry NJ
York.

The great decline In the building business
cannot fail to be noticed by every observer who
Is familiar With the past Of New York. During
the year no large eda1ces have been commenced
In any part Of the city. For the first time in
long period, Broadway is unobstrueted BY
mounds of building materials. This is a gain
to stage-drivers and pedestrians, but great
loss to trade formerly most prosperous in
this metropolis. Buildings are still going up
in the side streets, but they arc mostly
modest structures for residences, cheap in
cost, and more likely to be rented ut a profit
than the stately brown-stone fronts/of former
days. In this class Of enterprise there is no
great falling off from last year. Wages and the
cost Of materials are row much lower than IN
1873 3-'774, and the owners OF large estates still
think they can do nothing better than tp I'M
prove their property gradually BY etecting
cheap and desirable houses. Their calculations
are probably not far out of the way. There will
always be fair demand for residences on this
island, but It will be some time before We again
See the rents up to recent figures.
We may now look for a long pause In the work
Of beautifylng the city with those grand, impos-
ing piles which have been reared within the last
five years on Broadway. Ambitious owners
have found, to their cost, that such Investments
do not pay.-!Ntw York Journal! Of Cons'''e7r<'

alternate glances at the fair one and the vacant

bowed and sat down, while the young man
bowed and stood up, and imagined himself
martyr She carried beautiful child in her
arms, and It was very playful One young man
thought she was its aunt, and two others were
quite positive she was not its mother.
Meanwhile the child amused itself. It
climbed, aud crowed, aud laughed, and played,
aud the lady laughed and petted it. Ono ol the
young men, sacrilegfous wretch, commenced

child, kicking in playful mood, knocked a

For such worthy ones, and those who are too

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Having noticed in your
columns an article which conveyed the i'm
preston that there was not, and has not been,
free Homeopathic Dispensary in this city, beg
leave to state the following facts: The Dis
pcnsary connected with the Hahnclnaun Hospi-
tai was organized and opened nineteen
years ago last April. Since that
time it has never been closed to tue
sick and poor, aud more than 100, 600 free pre-
scriptions have been made. Medical and surgical
treatment and the necessary medicines lave
always been given without charge. The dis
pensary, located at :s7 and 2s9 Cottage Grove
avenue, is open every day, is in charge Of COM
potent corps Of physicians and surgeons, and is
now averaging 800 prescriptions every month.
This institution has always depended upon the
charity OF the friends Of homeopathy in this
city aud vicinity for its support. It must and
will continue to do so in the future Very re-
