a Thanksgiving Present.

The Eighth Avenue Railroad corporation
made its conductors happy on Thanksgiv-
ing Day by generously fixing their pay Mt
ST 81 per day, thus according them the
liberal advance OF one cent day over and
above the wages of the city laborer, as adj
iusted BY ex-Mayor Wickham. To be sure,
the pay Of the Eighth avenue conductors
prior to Thanksgiving was 81 IS per day !;
hence their turkeys were favored with the
sa,tce Digudate of fourteen cent reduction
Of their former salary But then it might
have been fifteen cents, in which case they
would have been on n par, as to remunera-
tion, with the city laborer under the Wick
ham scale, although their working hours
are nearly double. They have cause for re-
joicing and gratitude in the generous ac-
ton OF the corporation in bes owing upon
them the additional one cent.
The corporation finds that living is
cheaper now than it was few years ago.
There has been n general reduction in
prices. Horses that used to cost the COM
pany $50 or 5000 can now be purchased for
SO or $780, and oats that were worth 81 30
n DuSnGl now cost W Genus COHuuctOIS
who received so 80 day only a short time
since can now manage to live on 81 GIL. But,
them it's poor rule, as the old saying
goes, that will not work both ways, and We
have not yet learned that the Eighth avenue
or any other street railroad corporation in
New York has yet reduced its rate oil fare IN
consequence of its own diminished ex-
penses. Indeed we find, on the contrary,
that children who formerly rode free on the

against the very supposition of such
abasement. There are good excuses
for having spent but little money on
the navy for the last few years. The uni
versal stagnation of business has required
economy, and the new experiments in naval
architecture By foreign governments have
justified delay until we can learn what are
to be the most approved models for ships
of war. Secretary Thompson is wise in
keeping down his estimates for the present;
but with the revival of prosperity, which
seems to be dawning, our people will insist
on measures for the recovery of our lost
shipping and on an adequate navy for its
protection.

Conversations OF Bismarck.

Some additional extracts from Buschs re-
port Of the conversations of Bismarck are
given in the HERALD to-day. They are
characterized by the same keen discovery
of the very essence of the subject dealt
with and the fierce and downright express
sion OF extreme opinions that have been
noted as distinguishing previous excerpts
from the same volume. They are the
opinions of man with his foot
on other peoples heads, and who
scorns, and ostentatiously scorns, to
square his views with any convention
alities that might for a moment rein
in the utterance of his malice or impa-
tience or spleen. They are filled in great
degree with sort Of braggart defamation
that cheapens them somewhat, bnt they
give wonderfully accurate pictures of the
light in which man Of robust mind re-
CARDS some OF the most distinguished and
respected humbugs Of the time Perhaps
the loud and imperious tone of these say
ings is in some degree fictitious n
consequence Of the point that seems
to blurt all these uncomplim men-
tary phrases into the very faces
of the men constantly referred to. But it
is to be remembered that they were spoken
privately, and it is not the Prince who de-
fies all the people he has ever met by this
publication. Busch received authority to
print, it is said, but upon the pledge that
he would not print for yet thirty years. He
preferred, however, to get out his volume
while it would sell and he was alive to get
the proceeds. He was evidently one man
that Bismarck did not thoroughly see
through.
