Most of those who noticed the half empty Sixth
Avenue cars starting uptown yesterday evening, at
the time when they have generally been the most
densey packed, comfortably sohloquized, " Serves
'em right" The Sixth Avenue Road was one Of the
most persistent and vicious opponents of rapid
transit, and suffering citizens haye enough fallen
human nature IN them TO rejoice in seeing their
old oppressor lose money. Bat it is not clear that
in the long run 1t will lose The elevated roads will
unquestionaby take away from the horse
cars tho through passenger traffic, and the
result must for time be seen in q
marked loss of receipts. But there will be also a
marked reduction of expenses. Fewer horseswill be
worn out tugging at overloaded cars. One-horse cars
without conductors will frequently do the work.
The passengers win ride for only short distances.
and thus tine same car may come TO carry on single

1t is not unlikely that the commission Of the
sweet little cherub that sits up aloft looking out
for the life of poor Jack, includes in some degree
the care of all red-headed men. There was tho
well-knOwn case of the two men drowning, when
a person rushed frantcally to the wharf, and cried
out in such agOnizing tones, Save the man with
red hair!" that the rescuers left the other man
to perish while they pulled in the one with the red

in favor Of civil liberty may be very power
full.
If Socialism is to stalk into the European
Congress, there is likely to be some squlrln7
ing and signs of alarm. M. Waddlngtoh
knows the temper of the French people TOO
we'll to sanction any reactiOnary measures
and no British Minister would dare to 90
so. AS the Congress is called for speclnc
purpose, it is not clear how 1t can enter on
the discussion of other topics. But as the
Congress which met in Paris in 1886 took up
the Italian question and privateenne, 1T may
be difficult to restrain this one to Turkish
affairs.
Adolph Ballschniieder may belong in the
same ROgues' Gallery with Jesse Pomeroy.
If his mind is not diseased, he is certainly
one of the wickedest boys in the world. On
the night of the day he was sentenced to a
long term in the penitentiary, he warned
fellow w-prisoner who had offended him that he
would kill him, and boasted of having killed
another man IN Texas When the time came
he did his bOyish best to carry out his threat
and, after he had been put of in separate
cell, solaced his thirst for blood with murder
stories. Civilization brings with 1t good
many new diseases and new crimes, but
Adolph Ballschmieder is certainly one OF the
strangeSt known products of the printing
press.
Nothing could more certainly cOnduce to
comfortable frame of mind on the part of
those who cannot go to the Paris Exposition
than to learn that those who can will inev-
l. Il o,,k or laal Of
money by hotels and restaurants and hack
men. This pleasing assurance is most en-
phaticaly given in our Paris letter this
morning, aud, If it be tue that half the world
delights in being swlndled by the other hail.
those who are bound for Paris will be glad to
know that they are not to be disappointed
But the increase in prices is so extravagant
as to suggest the fear that Paris may kill the
goose before it gets even the first egg. When
a f01rth-story bedroom and parlor in the
Grand Hotel cost $1S day, though hired for
several weeks, and hack-hire is equally ruin
Ous, it is time it occurred to Paris landlords
to ask themselves whether or not, in the words
of our correspondent, "they have Oyerdone it,"
Censure Of legislators by the Chamber Of
Commerce will mean good deal in the minds
of New-YOrk business men, if it has no
appreciable influence in the nominating
conventions. The Chamber declares, and
rightly, that Senator Jacobs, of Brooklyn,
and Hogan, Wagstaf and Ecclesine, of New
York, who voted against the investigation of
the whole railroad problem, as it affects the
commerce of this port, by that action
"misrepresented and betrayed the inter
"ests of their constituents" That inquiry
was prayed for by all the great busi-
ness houses of this city; it was designed
only to promote the general good, and was
opposed only by the NewYork Central Rail-
road. These Senators gave the Chamber of
Commerce the right to ask that they resign
places which they have abused.-And has Mr..
Ecclesine anything to say about the commit
tees statement that he promised to vote for
the resolution?

MILLARD AND MENDELSSHON.
WILMINGTON AND BOSTON. THE FLORAL
CONCERT LAST NIGHT A GRAND SUCCESS.

WILMINGTON AND BOSTON. THE FLORAL
CONCERT LAST NIGHT GRAND SUCCESS.
Never before on any similar occasion has
there been and audience collected in the
Opera House of such intelligence or culti-
walton, as last evening on Che occasion of
the Floral concert given by the Mendesshen
Quintette Club of Boston, under the
auspices of the Millard Club of this city.
Notwith standing the inclemency of the
weather, every seat was occupied, while a
goodly fringe of spectators extended
around tho back of the rear row of seats in
the Orchestra circle and balcony. The
stage was beautifully decorated with a
splendid display of flowers, and from the
top of the scenes was hung the word "Mil>
lard' in large letters of beautiful roses. and
from each chandalicr was suspended hang
ing basRt ts of trailing vines.
After an Introductory chorus by the
Mlllard Club, the Mendelsshop Club was
introduced and received with loud ap-
plause.
The following is the pro. ramme:
PARTI.

Bo'ero, from the sicilian vespers,

pally to the Millard Club, Of this city y, who
deserve the thanks of the music loving
public at large for their earnest efforts in
bringing this about.

COMMENCEMENT OF DARKNESS
ACADEMY.

The tenth annual commencement and sixs
teenth exhibition of Harkness' Academy
was held yesterday afternoon In the
Academy building at Seventh and Market
streets.
The Address of Welcome was delivered
by Frank 0. Bright, in particularly bright
and sparkling style, which was followed by
the defamation of poem the Drunkard's
Dream, by William G. Temple. A humor-
Gus dialogue called "successful donation
party" came next, in which part was taken
by twelve OF the scholars, nearly all whom
acquitted themselves cred;tably, especially
Charles G. Sanders as Master Goodman.
Following came a defamation "give me
the hand" rendered very well by Harry
Simpson, and al original essay by Miss Sal
lie E. May, entitled "An Unknown Land"
which is worthy Of favorable comment, and
certainly bears the imprint of talent.
"Aunt Polly's Lessol," acted by four young
ladies. "rhe man sud his two wives" by
Charles L. Sanders, and Examining q
Teacher" BY eight young folks, were all
good, especially the Ia ter piece. The reci,
tation (Which shall it Be-" by May G.
Primrose, was quite pleasing the Acting
Cbarade was very good, especially the parts
taken by William Q. Tempe and John j.
Mahony. Annie Mitchell rected bea ut!-
fuI poem emitted, You put no flowers on
my Fathers Grave" this in our opinion
was one Of the best in the whole programme.
The graduating exercises consisted OF an
original defamation by Thomas BaLsou, on
the elements Of Success" and an original
essay by Miss Rachel Bigger, telling How
to uoe an EducatIOn," both Of which were
well composed, and thoughtful in ther way.
Professor Hardness then conferred diplomas
on Miss Bigger AID III. Beuson, and made
brief address to them, in which he gave
them much good advice.
The exercises were then brought to
close, and the Professor thanked the
audi4nce for their kind attention and the
assemblage dispersed.
