Before the Legislature adiourns, and while New.
York City affairs are under consideration we ven
ture to suggest the propriety Of passngperhaps as
an additional section to the new charter-a declara-
tory act concerning the uses of the mixed archi-
tectural monumental structure now occupying
the permanent cement basin in the City Hail Park
Hundreds Of people have sat around upon the
benches in the circle day after day and week after
week whenever the weather permitted, for the past
three or four years. and wondered and wondered
what it was all about. Years and years ago there
was a delusion that some day other if the men on
the benches only waited long enough, water would
be seen to exude from part Of it. But that was
exploded long ago. Clearly the Legislature ought
to take some action about it in the way OF defining
it, uses, OF else nave it removed How would it 90

A second terrible disaster caused by q
weakly supported roof comes now to point
the moral of the first. The total Of The killed
and wounded at the Rockford Court house is
greater than that in the NewYorll Po,t-Oilicc,
but the casualties are alike in the sacrifice
of human life 10y professional incompetency.

Nothing more clearly illustrates the reckless
haphazaId style IN which phases OF Ring
politics in New-YOrk have been recently dis
cussed than the loose charge thai Judge
Folger was d representative of Tweed
on the Court of Appeals. The letter printed
IN another column this morning only puts in
connected form what everybody at all familiar
with the history of those days has long since

The sinking of Turkish ironClad in the
Danube is the first important blow struck on
that river. The disaster will make the Turks
less confding in their monitors, which are not
secure against the powerful artillery of the
Russians, concealed behind well-constructed
earthwOrks.

A decision is reached at last with The new
Code. The Assembly has concurred, by large
majority, with the Senate, in dcfcring its OPP
Grafton until Sept. l. Even the strongest adj
yocates of the new law will be satisfied With
this second assurance of its adoption, aud Che
whole profession will be relieved to find that
uncertainty has come to an end.

A Mississippi letter, printed elsewhere,
shows that even in the state which mas given
its name to the shotgun policy, a division IN
the Democratic party is impending. The
negroes are shrewd enough to see that this
division will give them the balance Of power
and they await it in patient silence. When
the splitting once begins, tho face oi.the solld
South will be badly scanned.

a Fearful death.

"After many years" says the In
dian Standard, "there wasian execu.
ton at Lucknow on Tuesday, the
29th ult. A Moulvie of some little
repute paid the last penalty of the
law. He was convicted of q most
brutal act of murder, albeit rot COM
mitted by his own hands, but through
means the most revolving tolhumanr
isy, and wac sentenced to death. He
kept small school,, ,and one of the boys
who had been absent for two or
three days, on coming to school was
locked up by him in a small room.
In this room q snake had been put
some days previously, but was not
killed. A little while after the boys
incarceration he called out "a snake!'
and implored the Moulvie to open
the door. 'Ohr he said, open the
door and see for yourself-for Ma
homed Russools sake open the door,
The, Moulvie would do nothing OF
the kind. At last tho poor boy was
bitten in several places in the ankel,
and he called out, 'Ol now that
have been bitten open the door, The
Moulvie was inexorable, he would
not open the door. About midday
the father Of the boy came to the
school and inquired for his son-aad
inquired why he had not come home
for his usual meal. The Moulyie
said: Il have confined him for his
ABSENCE 'Well,' said the father,
'release him now.' The door was
then opened, and the corpse Of q lad
IL years old, the only child of his
parents, was the sad and shocking
sight which presented itself, with
the snake coiled near his neck" 49,.

PoL1TIos IN THE PULPgr.-If the
Liverpool Post has not been heaxed,
Mr.. spurgeon, the other Sunday took
occasion to pray for change OF min.

ordinary folly of our rulers load our
country into war;" Should he not
rather have prayed that they might
have the extraordinary wisdom to keep
out of it.-Punch.

When Field Marshal Won Moltke
was simple Colonel, he astonished
the members of his mess by regularly
taking ten Frederick d'ors out of his
pocket, at the beginning of dinner,
and laying them beside his plate
Always after dinner he rcpocketed
the gold, buttoned up his coat, looked
sourly around, and disappeared. It
was resolved to ask him the mean
ing OF this strange behavior. SWELL"
he said, 81 have noticed that from
the time 1 entered this regiment the
conversation at table has ALWAYS
turned ON women, or cards, or hose
racing; and I had determined to
make q present Of the ten pieces OF
gold to the first man who should start
a sensible subject. No one has yet
earned them"

The New Orleans Democrat makes
the Returning Board of Louisiana a

The Commodore Secret.

1.-The great success of the late Com.
Tnodore Vanderbilt 10 stsamboating
and railrOading, whereby he amassed
hlarger fortune than any other pri-
vate person during lifetime, has
naturally awakened a stoong desire
70 learn the secret of his uniform and
most surprising achievements. The
Commodore himself, when question
ed!upon the subject during the latter
years of his life, gave various expla--
nations of il. To one young man who
was shout entering upon tho career
ofs Wall Street broker, and who had
sopghtthis. counsel, he said:' "Sonny
don't never sell what you haven't
got,"n which was an excellent piece
Of advice for stockbroking adven-,
turer, Notwithstanding it's defective
grammar. To another he said: Sam.
don't never put it into any mans
power to ruin YOU" And this might
be put in letters of gold over the desk
ofevery one who runs financial risks
whether in Wall street or elsewhere,
and it would be an excellent maxim
also for politician. To another ase
pirant for fortune, who had asked his
advice he said: "Don't never buy
what you can't pay tor.".
Those were three admirable max
ims tor business, and he probably
acted through his long and success
ful career in strict conformity with
them. He never speculated, nor
made any rash ventures. But his
fayorite maxim, the one which he set
the highest value and most seriously
incnlcated upon those who were on
themost intimate terms with him,
was 8 condemnation of one among the
Wisest Of the proverbs Of Solomon:
sin all labor there is profit; but the
talk of the lips tendeth only to penu-
ry." The Commodore had probably
never read this golden proverb, and
he can hardly be said to have para
phrased it in putting it into his home
ly advice: "Keep your mouth shut"
This was what he said to his young
grandson, upon whom he based his
hopes of founding a dynasty, only q
few days before his own mouth was
cloGsd forever. He had been giving
the young man some words of serious
advice, and he onded by saying:
"But above all, keep your mouth
shut" lie used to say that he owed
most of what was called his good
fortune to the practice of keeping to
himself what he meant to do until he
had done it. And this has been the
habit Of all great men who have done
anything during their lives to excite
the wonder OF their fellow beings
