WHAT sORROW COSTS TIE CITY.

Pale Death, as the Roman poet tells u.s.
knocks equally at the doors of palaces and OF
cottages. We are enabled positively TO state
that His Majesty of the TerrOrs pays the same
polite attention at the City Hall. This, how
ever, is important specially because it is found
ont that his visits are almost as expensive as
if he were Japanese ambassador or Grand
Duke Of Russia. The city is now defendant
in a suit brought by an enterprIslng person
who, for the sable gloves. the melancholy
Grape, and other incidental evidences OF an
gIiish furnished for the Obsequies OF the late
Superintendent JOurdan, wants the sum OF p15o'
The pain felt upon the demise OF Alderman
Thomas CODnOr was not 80 intense,
and the demonstrative .regalia OF wretch
edness came to only $3.50. But when
County Auditor Watson was inhumed, the
trappngs and the suits of woe, costing s1,OS5,
indicated a Iaceratcd condition of the Alder
manic bosom too painful to be dwelt upon.
Ex-Aderman Florence Scannell, on the other
hand, was regretted only to the extent OF S55o,
and the same was true OF Alderman Henry
Rogers, deceased. Gloves and Grape, there
fore, for these loved and lost ones cost the
City of New York, or rather will cost it If the
plaintiif wins his case, the pathetic sum of
S3,468-almOst enough to hang the heavens
with black
We suppose it must sOOthe the struggles and
suftcrings of moribund alderman to know
that he will be 80 extensively lamented. AT
the same time we hardly see why the tax
payers should be compelled to foot these bills
of bereavement. 1t has indeed happened that
the final departure of an alderman gave the
tax-paylng citizens occasion for putting on
anything but mourning; though we do not say
that this is true OF all these defunct worthless.
We are far from thinking that in any case it
would be in better taste to ring the bells and
hoist the rational flag at the peak; but this
we are sure would be as true an indication OF
the real feeling as mile of carriages behind
carriages, one hundred thousand yards of
grape, and one thousand boxes OF the best
Paris gloves.
There is some opposition, we suppose, to the
payment OF these dismal bills. II Is u delicate
me- tier to say anything about, but we may
venture to remind the Aldermen that if they
discard the expensive use of gloves, We shall
all see how clean are their honorable hands.

railroads with a view to benefit their prop
erty near the line of the road; The re-
port states that the projects would in many
instances have obtained no support IL the
maps and surveys of the State had shown the
obstacles that those railroads would have TO
encounter. Millions Of dollars have thus
been thrown away on njudicious schemes
which only made greater losses il the roads
were actually built, since the construc-
ton was carried on over hills where valleys
might have been utilized, and as soon as a
road commenced its traffic 1t began to DO busl-
ness at loss. The total waste thus occasl0ned
is estimated in the report at $4O,OOO,OOO. II
reliance can be placed on these estimates, they
may be fairly offset against the expense OF the
survey. TO which Gov. Robinson has forciby
objected; an expense of $4,000 q year for
ten
