While the property-holder and the landlord are
having their say against rapid transit. the young
householder should be permitted to speak IN us
favor. He is the person most interested in the sub
iect for rapid transit means for him better anu
cheaper home and more comforts for the wife and
little ones At present he must either live outside
the city, or put up with the dreary life OF board
ing-Louse or pay a large portion OF bis income Tor
rent of a fat The reduction in house rents seldom
reaches him. for the demand for desirable flats was
never so great as now. Men who have been paying
from 81 800 to 5000 for houses economic by
going into flats at rents which the young house
holder cannot pay except with great difficulty. The
rents for good flats have remained nearly at the
same figures for several years while those of houses
have fallen considerably The city has plenty OF
tenement houses which dignified by the name OF
fats but they are unfit for babtation. The rooms
are merely series Of cells opening into each other,
but entirely beyond the purifying reach Of sunshine
These are cheap enough, but it is cheapness which
means ruin to health. With rapid transit to the
upper end of the island thus making il more con-
venient to live at Mount Washington, or even at
High Bridge, than 1t is at present to live above
Fort -second-st the rent problem is solved and
cheap and comfortable home within reach OF every
one. The property-owners on Sixth-ave. might
suffer some, but they are not to be exempted from
the common lot of humanity.

Mr.. Grady's Life Insurance bill in the AS
sembly is specially interesting, as it handles
a branch of the subject that has hitherto had
little consideration. The methods proposed by
this bill for securing to pOlicy-holders larger
share in the election of officers and the con-
troll of company are singularly elaborate.
1t is scarcely to be expected that any of the
bills now before the Legislature will be passed
separately or in their present shape. Much OF
committee work and consultation with insur-
ance officials will be needed before the meas
ures are passed upon. Mr.. Bixby's bill in the
Senate may need prOmpter treatment, since 1t
is meant to check the amagamatiOn of COM
panes, and the performances of the New-Jer-
sey Mutual have shown that there is special
danger of such attempts when weak compa-
mics are undergoing examination.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 2. 1877

carded and simplicity of worship has been restored
in many churches which q few years ago were
classed as Rituastic. In this city there are Only
three churches where extreme ideas and practices
prevail, and these ARE supported by small, albeit
zealous congregations. The High Churcbsm Of
Trinity has been toned down. In Brooklyn there Is
scarcely trace of Ritualism. While the churches
are at peace after years of controversy over rubrcs
and canon law, wholesome zeal in missionary work
has sprung up. 1t is good sign.

The predictions of reduction in rents
grow i'm volume as well as in number. PrOml-
nent real estate agents, whose opinions are
reported elsewhere, seem to look forward to a
general reduction of not less than ten per cent,
and one of them to fall of from fifteen to
twenty-five per cent. However opinions may
differ among agents on minor points, there
seems to be substantial agreement as to the
further reductions likely to be enforced in
almost all dwelling houses, ranging above, say,
twelve hundred dollars; and this dropping III
prices is expected, by these dealers at least,
to run through business houses as well as
private residences.

As some persons have confounded the Florence Oil Stoves with the tin stoves which have caused the recent nu- merous explosions, resulting in loss of property and almost of life in one or two instances. We beg leave to inform all per sons interested. (and everybody is,) that with constant use of between one and two years there is no single instance where the Florence Oil Stove has exploded or has shown any indication of doing so. and 8 few moments examination will convince the most skeptical that the FLORENCE OIL SrovEs are absolutely aud entirely sGfe from erplosio7l, even with the use of pnOr oil (but teGt of course we do not recom- nerd, as the best is the cheapest.) We have not time or space to enumerate all It's good qualities; we simply say that they are entirely and perfectly safe, beyond possi- biiity of explosion. A sale of 2,0OO of these stoves in the month of May, 1877, and a constantly increasing demand goes to prove what the general estimate of them IS, by discriminating public. Find out all about them by addressing the subscribers or either of the following named gentlemen who are agents in this vicinity; MT: Chas. Morse, of Norfolk, Agt. for Norfolk. Ga. naap, North Canaan, Colebrook and Barkhampsted; MT. Levi 5. Howe, Corn wall Bridge, Agt. for Litcbtield, Goshen, Morris, and Harwinton; c. F. Peck, Els worth, Agt. for Kent and Cornwall.

GRANT IN LoNDoN.-Ex-Pr sident Grant is still receiving the most complimentary attentions in England. On Friday June l5, he was presented the freedom of the city, by the Lord Mayor of London, at Guildhall. Thousands of people crowded in the vicinity to cheer the distinguished gentleman. The document was presented to him in gold casket, of rich and elabo. rate workmanship, and large value. After the presentation he was conducted to hal where an elegant banquet had been provi- ded. After the repast the Lord Mayor pro- posed the health of the Queen, which was drunk silently, with music of '"God Save the Queen" Gen. Grants health was then
