T RINID A D
From Far Pioy)

When, about a year ago, we challenged
and opposed the centralizlng and despotlc
manifestations Of the policy of IL. f.. the
Governor, we were not aided by a single
one of our contemporaries, except, If we
recolIect Alright, the "San Fernando Ga
~zette." They wrote either approvingIy'
or in a way that made doubtful the view
which they took, of that policy; and as
for our contemporary of the "ChronieIe'"
Welding to the pressure of circumstances
he doggedly pursued the track OF forgone
conclusions, and stood out the sturdy
a~pologist and incorporating supporter
of everything His Excellency said or did
One by one, however, the inexorable logic
of facts has driven conviction home to
the hearts of our contemporaries; they
have seen the correctness of our antlcl-
nations of what was lurking in the breast
of Governor Irving /; they have recognised
the genuineness of the tocsin OF alarm
that we sounded at the time and have
one after another raised their voices
against a policy as mischievous in result,
az it il narrow-minded, %tyrannlcal and
wrong in principle. Last OF all our con-
temporariss, the "Chronicle" haa follow

ed in our wake and, out-heroding Herod.
has written in a strain which, if we had
employed but a month or two back, our
contemporary would most probably have
lifted up his hands over his head in dis.
may, and wondered to what further ex-
cesses our RadicaIism would lead us.
If H. E. the Governor has eyes to see,
surely the significance of this detection
on the part of the "Chronicle" is sufi.
GENTLY visible. His only friend has
turned against him, one who owes him
a debt of gratitude for having in the
teeth Of public opinion as good as made
him an indetensible present of $3.50 OF
the public money, can no longer conceal
even from his partial eyes the disastrous
mai administration of the present gov.
eminent he has joined the ranks Of OPP
position, and H. f. the Governor now
occupies the position of a ruler whose
policy is condemned by the whole COM
munity, headed by the United Press. Lis
ten to the words of the "ChronicIe !"
" Change without reform. The stop
page or slackening of useful works. The
Encouragement of primary instruction.
Glass legislation or something Ominously
like it, and more looming ahead. Increase
among the larger salaries, and cutting
down the small. Shutting the poor out
of the Hospital at the same moment the
cost of these establishments and of the
Medical service generally is immensely
increased, and while the profession Ia pri-
vileged monopoly, interlopers being amen
able to law is encouraged to charge in
private practice fees quite beyond the
means of most to pay. Great numbers OF
tradesmen out of work, we hear-while
great and useful works are standing still
whilst large sums of public money are
lying idle. Business ~frightfuIIy dull for
months-after the biggest crop known 1!
Disabilities monopolies, interdictions, stag
nation favor and incompetence, doubt
and discomfort. The hand of the clock
has been set back, the sky is morally dark
and the future made uncertain. II is
partly the work of our own vice, folly and
imbecility, and partly the work of q new
regime. We had hoped better things of q
conservative government, but if conserva"
tism. in these colonies at least, consists in
crushing or reversing the good work of it's
predecessors, the sooner its reign is over
the better for US all in this part of the
world.

Indirectly, stolen from the taxpayers.
Apart altogether from his liability tor the
monstrous aggregate of plumber which
was wrung from the City under the sys-
tenn which he fostered, a satisfaction in
full of the judgment now obtained would
leave the City still his creditor to q very
large amount. But admitting that the
Judgment will pass safely through the
series of legal assaults which still await
it, there is no chance of getting it satisfied
in full. 1t is difficult to estimate the
value of TwEED's property, on which
attachments still lie, but it is probable
that it does not exceed q million and a half.
Three times that amount might have been
obtained but for the impertections OF the
law, the misplaced I~euieacy OF the courts,
and the blunders of the lawyers, which
have combined to retard the progress OF
the prosecution.
Still, it is something, even at this late
day, to have dispelled the popular impress
sion that a man need only steal on q large
enough scale, to evade the necessity OF res
t|itution. The Master Thief of tn century
kept enough to be able to retain In his de-
fenso the foremost legal talent Of the
United States, and when his fortunes SEEM
ed hopeless, to bride his custodians to help
him to escape. He probably possesses
enough Of his plumber to enable him to
live at ease for the rest of his life but
still he is a fugitive and q marked man.
The remains OF his property, at least, are
likely to be used to reimburse the Treasu-
nv which he robbed, and the close OF his
career has been made ignominious enough
to bring home the moral lesson which its
eaDly success appeared to belle.
Popular indignation may be said to have
long ago spent its force upon TWEED, but
there IS no honest man who will not feel
that this latest Judgment against him is a
moral gain of no small value. La these
days of smaller. though not OF meaner'
thieves, it will also serve to recall the 81
gantic proportions of the system OF plum
der whose unwilling first startled the peo-
pie of this Union into a perception OF how
grossly public trust could be abused.
Exposure after exposure has followed those
OF 1871, but the frauds of the Tweed Ring
still stand alone in their boldness OF con
~ception, their completeness OF organise
ton, and their browning intamy. 1t will
be the fault Of the people themselves II
they do not remain SO for oil coming
time.

rapid march Of the "rebels," and from
Its cupola the CLEAN of bayonets would
nave been plainly visible. The Amer
cans were not distant, indeed, but there
was another and more insidlous foe near
at hand. Close to the Middle Road, at
point now designated by the corporation
as Fifth avenue and Thirty street,
stood the unpretentious but exceedingly
comfortable mansion of Robert Murray,
Quaker merchant Of approved loyalty to
the crown, as well as of large wealth.
fortunately the shrewd merchant could
not control the feelings of his household,
and his wife and daughters were ardent
patriots. When Lord Howe and his staff
reached the edge of the Quaker's gardens
they were enraptured to find Mrs Murray
and her beautiful daughters ready to
greet them with warm welcome. The
parties had once met in more peaceful
days.
William,' said the fair Quaker ma
iron, 'will thee alight and refresh thy
self at our house,"
1 thank you, Mrs. Murray said the
pleasure-loying commander, "but must
first catch that rascally Yankee Putnam"
The Yankee General was not to be
caught this time, if w0man's wit could
save him, even if the truth must be tor
tured into q shape that should deceive in
order to save life. Very demurely the
lady rejoined, in that plain language of
her sect which always carries with itsuch
an emphasis of truth:
" Didst thou not hear that Putnam had
gone: i is late to try to catch him
Thee had better come in and dine"
The invitation was seconded by the
brightest smiles Of the daughters, and
Howe wavered. Promising to pursue the
hated Yankees after he had dined, the
British commander alighted and entered
the house, where the destinations of his
charming hostesses made him forget for
hours the object of his expedition. Put
nam meanwhile was flying up the Bloom
ingdale road, never daring to draw breath
until he caught sight of Washington's
tents. Thacher, in his " Military Jour
nal" writes that it became common
saying among the American officers that
Mrs. Murray had saved Putnam's divis-

A Piece of Quaker Strategy.

IN Scrt6ner for February, in his i" New
York in the Revolution" Mr.. John F.
Mines gives the following account of the
way Putnam escaped from Howe when
the British captured the city in 1176:
Neither soldier nor fugitive knew how
narrow had been the escape of Putnam's
army that day. When Sir William Howe,
accompanied by Clinton and Tryon, had
landed at kip's Bay with the main body
OF the British army, they struck across to
the Middle Road, intending to make their
camp on the heights of Inclenburg, mid
way between New York and Harlem.
They reached the road at point just OPP
posite to where Putnam was stealing
along, under cover of the woods that
skirted the Hudson, to reioin Washing
ton. There was house near by, from
whose upper windows they might easily
have discovered the dust created by the

Household C8nvenienees o Hundred
Years Age.

IN speaking Of the comparative COM
forts and conveniences enjoyed by our an
cestors in their homes of a hundred wears
ago, with their descendants Of this genera
ton, DR.. Nichols, in the Boston Journal
Of Commerce, says: Our fathers were
cropping N almost utter darkness, so far as
a knowledge Of the sciences was con-
cerned, and but little progress had been
made in invention and the arts: scarcely
one OF the modern contriv noes for cook
ing, and for warming and lighting dwell
ings, was known. Not a pound of coal
or cubic foot of Illuminating gas had
been burned in the country. No iron
stoves were used, and no contrivances for
econOmiZing heat were employed until
DR.. Franklin invented the iron frame fire
place which still bears his name. All
the cooking and warming, in town and
country, were done by the aid of fire kim

wells by the creaking "sweep," and it was
often at a long distance from the house.
No form Of pump was used in this coun-
try, so far as we can learn, until after the
commencement of the present century
There were no friction matches in those
early days, by the aid of which a fire
could be speedily kindled; and if the fire

the finder was damp so that the spark
would not "catch," the alternative re-
manned of wading through the snow a
mile or so TO borrow brand of neigh
Dor. Only one room in any house was
warmed (unless some of the family were
lily; in all the rest the temperature was at
zero during many nights in winter. The
men and women of hundred years ago
undressed and retired to their beds at night
in an atmosphere colder than that of our
modern barns and woedsheds, and they
never complained.

The rosy lip, the lofty brow,
The hearts that beat so gayly now:
Oh, where viii be loves beaming eye,
joys pleasant smiles, and sorrows sigh,
A hundred years to come:
Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years to come?
Who tread yon church with willing feet,
A hundred years to come!
Pale, trembling age, and fiery youth,
And childhood with its brow of truth
The rich, the poor, On land and sea,

A hundred years to come?
We all within our graves shall sleep.
A hundred years to come;
No living soul for us will weep,

But other men our lands viii till.
And other men our streets will fill,
While other birds will sing as gay,
As bright the sunshine as to-day,
