THE TWIN s.

A4A LIN ~
In form and feature, face and limb.
1 seem SO like my brother,
That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one another,
1t puzzled all our kith and kin,
1t reached an awful pitch,
For one of us was born a twin
And not a soul knew which.
One day to make the matter worse,
Before our names were fixed,
AS we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed.
A n thus you see by fates decree,
Or rather nurses whim,
My brother John was christened me,
And 1 was christened him.
This fatal likeness even clogged
My footsteps when at school,
And 1 was always getting logged
For John turned out a fool.
I put this question hopelessly
To every one i knew,
What would you do, If you we're me,
To prove that you, were you?
Our close resemblance turned the tide
OF my domestic nfe,
For somehow my intended bride
Became my brother wife,
In short, year after year. the same
Absurd mistakes went on,
And when 1 died, the neighbours came
And buried brother John"

and Albany is the natural centre OF this
great branch Of the public business. AT the
eastern terminus of the Erie Canal and the
southern terminus Of the Champlain Canal,
it is the proper administrative centre
of our vast system of public works,
which could not be transferred to the
mouth of the Hudson without great in
convenience. The current discussions are
idle and futile, and are, therefore, very
harmless amusement for the journals that
indulge in them; but if there were any seri-
GUS prospect of removal OF the State CAPT.
tai from Albany to New York we should
deprecate it in the interest of city morals,
purity Of legislation, and the convenience
of the county and canal officers, which
maintain q constant intercourse with the
executive Offices at the seat of the State
government.

Our issues of quintuple HERALps so far
into the summer this yearare evidences that
advertising during this season is unusually
general As regards the HERALD quintup pies
we have never before had to issue them so
far into the summer This fact proves either
Of two conditions of trnde--unusual dulness
or unexampled activity. In the first case,
advertising would be resorted to as the very
best means of forcing business. 1t presents,
even to those not intending TO pur-
chase, SO many attractions, both rs to
goods and prices, that economical res
outions melt away before the tempting
opportunities to secure good bargains, and
tagging business is therefore spurred to
activity On the other hand, the brisk
competition of thriving trade would be
manifested by advertising In anticipation of
a prosperous season all our merchants have
stocked their stores with the most attractive
novelties suited to the wants of the commu-
nifty. These must be disposed of during
the early summer months to make room for
the fall and winter stocks. Therefore the
merchants advertise to attract to New York
customers from other cities where goods are
not SO cheap, SO varied i'll kind or so
abundant. Whatever may be the objects OF
the advertisements the HERALD quintuple is
the favoritc medium for advertising.

Several Of our city contemporaries are
making Governor Robinson's veto of the
appropriation for the absurd and extrava-
CANT new Capitol IN occasion for advocating
the transfer of the State government from
Albany to New York. Merciful heaven, de-
liver us This suffering city is bad enough
without n new accession to its dangerous
classes. The effect of the proposed removal
would be merely to bring the Legislature
under the immediate control of Tammany
Hall and the Custom House, which are al
ready the chief agents Of corruption. The re-
moval would save great deal to those inter-
meddling agencies in railroad fares and hotel
bills, and enable each Of them to practise
all it's arts upon raw rural members with
slight trouble or expense. Such change
would substitute Tammany Hall for the
democratic side Of the Legislature and the
Custom House for the republican side
That body would be even more servile to
these bad influences than it has been here
tofore, and they have been altogether too
potent at the distance of hundred and
fifty miles. The city Hobbies have long
been the curse of State legislation. These
Hobbies would be not merely influential but
omnipotent if the State capital were trans
ferred to New York. Apart from this de-
cisive objection Albany is better place for
the seat of the State government There is
not county in the State which has not fre-
quent occasion to transact business with
executive departments which are more ac-
cessible to majority of the counties than
they would be in New York. During the
season of navigation our great system Of
public works, with its swarm Of engineers,
collectors and superintendents, must be in

The capture of Arabian, with all its guns
and military stores, by tho Russians is the
first success Of the war. The occupation of
Bajazid recently by column from Erivan
gave them decided advantage of position,
but it was one yielded without a
struggle by the Turks. Ardahan, on
the contrary, has withstood lombard
ment and two assaults, the second
of which was successful. Perhaps the
Turkish commander, knowing that the
town would be completely isolated in few
days, and needing the garrison to strengthen
his own position at Bardess, may have in
structed the commandant not to make a
defense d la mort but to retire when he saw
that further stay would endanger the whole
body Of the garrison. The next news from
Asia Minor will undoubtedly be of great
battle ut Bnrdess, followed, probably, by the
retreat Of the Turks on Erzeroum. Our
special correspondent at Kischenef gives a
graphic description of the city and the i'm
mense camp surrounding it. His letter,
which we publish to-day, is peculiarly in
tcresting in view OF the latest developments
OF the war on the Danube The mass
ing of troops on the Russian right
looks like q movement in force across
the Danube between Widdin and Rustchuk
and the practical severance Of the Turkish
communications with the west If this
can be accomplished the passes Of the
Balkan, via Sofia. will be in the hands Of
the Russians very soon, and tho bulk of the
Turkish army must change front to the
westward to cover the quadrilateral. An
other large force must be hurried to defend
Roumelia on the westward. The Turkish
fleet is still operating on the Circassian
coast, but its attacks are upon unimportant
points. Batoum will soon be completely
invested by the Russians.

Polo I'm England.

Polo, which was originally imported from
India into England and thence transferred
to America, is not. like many other foreign
games, matter of mere brief curiosity, but
grows rapidly and steadily in popu-
larity, and is destined to be per-
manent amusement. The season has
begun already with our own clubs, and
yesterday we published an account of the
first games played in England this spring.
They took place at the Nottingham grounds
on the 18th and 10Th of May, and were con-
tested by the Nottingham Club and the In
ternational Polo and Gun Club. We learn
that the attendance was brilliant, and the
display of skill in the game and equestrian
ism excellent. The points made by
each club being equal. the decisive
match will be played next Saturday;
and in June there will be battle
for champion cup. Polo is not only
q fashionable sport in England and this
country. but one which is based upon
enduring elements of skill and exercise So
long as men value physical strength and
culture, and SO long rs the horse is Of all
the lower animals looked upon as the most
useful, such games as polo will be popular.
1t is now one of the leading amussments of
our wealthy young men, and it is not one
of it's least merits that it furnishes beauti-
full outdoor entertainment for the ladies,
who have honored it with their complete
approval. We hope our English cousins
will have q successful season, and do not
doubt that our own clubs will do the best
to emulate their skill.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-05-21

The intense heat Of the past few days has
turned the thoughts Of those who dwell in
cities to the country. They look with the
minds eye upon the blue ranges of the
Catskills, crouched by the side of the silver
Hudson; upon the White Mountains, the
fair islands OF Lake George, the cliffs of
Newport, or the green wales of Wyoming,
and say, 80 had the wings Of dove. that
way would fly for rest" 1t is the season
when those who can get away begin to look
for country board, and to study the seduc-
tive advertisements of the benevolent
farmer and the generous hotel keeper.
Visions Of unadulterated milk and honey,
of butter that can trace its ancestry to the
COW, Of eggs whose freshness is announced
each day at sunrise by the maternal hen,
of waving woods and refreshing streams are
inspired by these advertisements in which
every place is pictured as Paradise. Daz-
zled by the multiplicity of attractions, the
eager family discusses whether it shall
spend the summer in castle in the noun
tains, palace by the river side, or villa
by the ocean. Wherever they decide to go
they are likely to prove that distance lends
enchantment to the view. The castle
frequently proves to be ruin, and
even the hospitable farmhouse delusion.
The purling brook is found n stagnant
pond and the shady forest is often
several miles away. The new milk, butter
and eggs are brought from the New York
mnrkets where thew can be bourht better
and cheaper than they can be raised, while
the playground for the children, so beauti-
fully described in the advertisement proves
to be merely dusty yard before a
dusty road Paradise often turns out
to be purgatory. In fact, there is
nothing more deceptive than the title
of Country Board" particularly when
it il associated with all the comforts of a
home Home is precisely what the seeker
for rustic pleasures does not want; but
when be makes the fatal mistake Of finding
desert out Of town the name has
swcetcr charms. Home then become dearer
than ever, and he frequently returns to it
with greater joy than when he left
it. SO do not lot all who cannot
leave the city too much bemoan their fate,
for there are many attractions iii town which
balance the discomforts Of the country, and
the true philosopher will know that content
is, after all, the only basis of domestic en-
ioyment. II the millions in great cities
cannot have country board as they wish they
can Mt least have comfort at home.

blunders such as buying support in the
South by i'll considered internal improve
ment schemes, or if he should become timid
and show favor to the old and reactionary
leaders of the party in that case we believe
the country would accept the democrats
gladly in 1880. But it is too early in the
new Presidential term to speculate either on
the folly or the genius of the President. He
has begun very wisely. But he has only
begun. and one thing is tolerably certain,
the country is no longer to be put off with

Dc Broglis's Theory and Practice OF
Revolution.

nI0&xA0'0
Revolution.
By our news from Paris it will be observed
that the De Broglie Ministry, like the fla
nous General Trochu. has plan. 1t was,
however, the great popularity of Trochus
plan that he kept il to himself-never
dazzled the understandings of mankind by
the disclosure of its startling conceptions
while the De Broglie plan is given fear
lessly and pitilessly to the world.
All men in France have foreseen
that the danger of the game played
for the spoils by De Broglie and his fellow
adventures is that it will extend the faith
of the people in republican institutions as
guarantee against the surprises that are a
part Of the scheme of personal government,
and consequently that if the present Cham
Der is dissolved the inevitable new
election will result in the return OF
a Chamber of Deputies more strongly
republican than even the one that now
stands in the way of Dc Broglies schemes
and MacMahon's delusions. 1t is against
this possibility, as the critical point in the
case, that the plan provides. The great
feature of this plan is proclamation. 1t is
proposed to suddenly change the French
people from republican to monarchical by
proclamation. If simplicity is any advan-
tage in n plan it certainly exists in this one,
and we venture to say that if the pro-
ceeding is successful it will be initiated
on all like occasions in otrer countries.
This proclamation is to inform the French
people that ii they do not scrupulously elect
Chamber less republican than the present
Chamber. then MacMahon, President, Mar
shall of France, Duke of Magenta, &C., &C.,
will incontinently and absolutely resign his
position as the saviour of his country, and
abandon and give over this wretched French
nation to its own impulses and inevitable
destruction. There is no indication by
which ii may be judged whether the Mar
shall will a,tually resign if it comes to the
pinch, and the country, seeing cheap and
easy way to safety, shall take him at his
word. 1t is apparently not contemplated
that the nation will be able to calmly face
this dreadful danger. 1t is confidently
thought by. the Ministry that this
threat will throw the people into
paroxysms Of reaction and SO save the
conservative" cause. All this is given out
by NJ de Fortou. If that gentleman were
more disposed to tell his thoughts plainly
he would have said that the Ministry does
not deem it unwise to have two strings to it's
bow. AS the Cromwellans trusted in God
and kept their powder dry, SO these gentle
men have every faith in their plan for
proclamation, but they do not neglect the
precaution Of concentrating in their own
hands the machinery of the elections and
the great processes Of counting in" the
right candidates at important points. The
change Of sixty-two procedures in two days
shows how practical they are in this par
ticular.
