4 GOOD HOTEL.


There are hotels and hotels in New York.
There are hotels whore it is the rule to ex-
tract the largest amount of money from
the victim and give the least possible &C
commodation. You can still fool away four
or five dollars day if you choose, but it
is not necessary. The best house in New
York to-day is the SturteVant, kept by the
Lslands, Lewis and George. Located on
Broadway, between 18th and 29th streets,
it is in the very heart Of the city, both as
regards business and amusements. The
table is unequalled and there are no better
rooms anywhere. You can have exactly
what you want at the Sturtevant. If You
want plain home cooking such as ''your
mother used to give you, you can have it,
and if you want French kickshsws your
taste in that direction will be gratiied.
The servants are attentive, for there are
two Of the best hotel men on the continent
constantly watching them, and the estab-
lishment is conducted with an eye single
to the comfort of the guest. The propri-
etors are genial, pleasant gentlemen and
they won't have q man about them who is
not. Everybody is made to feel at home,
and the prices? well, you can live as cheap
ly or as extensively as You choose at the
Sturtevant You can have q room at a
dollar day and eat where you please, or
you can have a delightful room and full
board for from $3.50 to $4.00 per day.
You can live we'll ct the house as low ss
$1.75 per diem. It is the favorite resort
for Californians, and of late years, it has
been head quarters for Ohio, Illinois and
the Northwest generally. 1t has held its
trade during the dull times, because the
house is well and honestly kept, and every
body who comes to it feels At home from
the time they put foot inside its doors till
they leave. If you visit New York this
summer don't forget the Sturtevant. My
word for it, you will never go elsewhere.
POLITICAL.
The Potter investigation is the only po-
liticsl topic of interest here, and that ex-
cites no special comment. Everybody
knows that Sammy Tilden inspired it, and
everybody knows its object. He does not
want an investigation, but he does want to
be kept before the people, as martyr, to
make sure Of the nomination IN 1880. Pot
ter is working solely in his interest. The
leading Democrats here laugh at it, and
the Republicans pay no attention to it. It
has had bad effect upon business, for peo-
pie outside did suppose it was in earnest,
and that there was danger of the Presiden-
tial question being re-opened. But it is
pretty we'll understood by this time, and is
no more q matter Of comment.

IDIOT ASYLUM, HORRORS.

The same Indifference to human life, be-
low favored rank, and callous cruelty is
shown by the report Of the idiot asylum
on Randall's Island, where the pauper
sick and insane are huddled together and
treated with intolersblS inhumsnity. The
well paid physicians never enter the wards
from month to month, and idiOtic children
are left to the care of nurses, who are the
lowest Of the low, one Of whom said she
did not care whether the idiots under her
charge died or not, and it was good rid
aence if they did. The children have
been so starved through the winter that
they are dying of of scurYy, and are suf-
fered to sicken uncared for. till the nurses
carry them to the hospital for fear they
will die on their hands. There is fright
full undersids of crime and brutal hard
ness to the government Of New York, that
so years from now will be read with such
horror as we feel over the black history of
English prisons and bedlsms a hundred
years ago.

TOrturing Apprentices.

J. H. Hargreaves, the proprietor of a hair factory at London, Ontario, was ar rested, charged with excessive cruelty to young apprentices, male and female. The implements of torture-consisting of ropes and pulleys, leather thongs, pad locks and gags-were produced in court One of the victims, Annie Sparks, related the cruelties that had been practised on her by Hargreaves and his partner Jar wis. She had been repeatedly left sus- pended by the hands from the ceiling of dark room-one time for four days. Hargreaves would slacken the rope at dinner time and hoist her again at night She described the gagging and hoggine process as applied to herself and seyera others. Hargreaves was committed fol trial. The foreman has been arrested for complicity, and Jarvis, the partner has absconded. At the close of the cour the police had difficulty in keeping liar greaves from the mob.

Edmunds's Little Joke.

g The Washington correspondence of the Buffalo Commercial AdUertiser says: Senator Edmunds says there are so many Presidential candidates on the Committee on Judiciary, that business is very much behind. He says that on the day when the Committee meets, Conkling will come in first and find 8 slim attendance. He will sit a little while, impatiently, and say . "Well, I don't suppose there will be quorum this morning, and have other matters to attend to. If Davis and Thur man would drop their Presidential aspi- rations and attend to committee business we could do something"
 And he will go out. Then Thurman will come in and ask
 Where's Conkling?"
 When told that he had been in and left to look after other matters, he will say:
 "Where's Davis?"
 "Dav1s hain't come."
 ~, ." We'll" Thurman will say, "Conkling and Dav1s have got the Presidency on the brain, and of course we can't expect any thing of them. Call me when you get 8 quorum" r.......
 And he will go out. Then Davis will come in and say {:
 Well, Conkling and Thurman are absent again. Those two men are so busy working up their Presidential cam paigns that they neglect their Senatorial duties.
 And so it goes, every week, Edmunds says.

The Income Tax.

A Washington dispatch says The discussion for several months past over the revival of the income tax has finally assumed definite shape. Messrs. Tuck CT, of Virginia, and Burchard, of Illin- ois, the Sub Committee on Internal Revenue of the Ways and Means Com mittee, have prepared bill to tax in- comes, which will be submitted to the full committee as soon as the Tariff bill IS disposed of. The proposed bill ex- empts from taxation incomes of $2, ,OOO and under. Incomes of over $2, GOO and not more than $5, ,0OO are to be taxed 2 per cent. Incomes of not more than $1O,0O and not less than $5, ,OOO are to be taxed 3 per cent, and all incomes of over $10, ,000 are to be taxed 4 per cent. In all cases where an income tax is col lected the amount of rent and other taxes paid is to be deducted from the income. It must be borne in mind that the subcommittee which has agreed upon this bill is composed of only two members, and that a favorable or ad- verse report upon the measure will depend upon the votes of the other nine members of the committee. A majority of the members of the House from the West and South favor the imposition of an income tax. Only four members of the Committee of Ways and Means are Eastern. men, and it is thought that there is only one Western man on the com mittee, MT. Garfield, who will oppose if

He Was All Alone.

A Baltimore American correspondent writes: eff any one would like to know what manner of men were those who fought round Osman Pasha, they can gain an idea of them from an anecdote that my friend told me. A very steep rock was to be stormed. It rose to the height of 250 feet, and was crowned by Russian batteries. A Turkish colonel. desirous to set an example to his men, scrambled up first by the help of occa- sional projections in the rock, and roots and weeds. When he reached the top he found himself entirely alone. The Russian soldiers looked at him in amazement. Their guns were pointed at his breast, when the general gave the order not to fire, hastened up to the Turkish colonel and called out to him :: Colonel, begone at once you see you are alone The brave man said nothing. He stood still a moment, gazing at his enemies then turned and went back safely as he came. All the Russian sol diers began to clap their hands and cheer him."

Amateur Printers.

At the instance of MT. Albert Veil, of the firm of Guggenheimer X Veil, of Baltimore, bill has been introduced to compel all persons engaged in the print ing business in Baltimore, other than newspapers, to take out licenses, upon the payment of $10O, in lieu of any tax which may now be assessed upon the materials used in business. The penalty for violations is fixed at $1OO. This is to prevent amateur printers from prose- cutting the business without paying the State something. MT. Well says "We find ourselves placed in competition every day with some of the 600 amateur printers now abounding in Baltimore City, the entire number of whom, can safely state, do not contribute one dollar to the revenue of the State or city. We also labor under the disadvantage of being unprotected from the solicitors of competing houses East and West, who annually carry off large orders, and should, in our estimation, be made to bear their proportion of the taxes which we, as local traders, are compelled to do."

STRIKES IN ENGLAND. English strikes of 1877 numbered no fewer than 191. They are grouped under thirteen classes of occupation - building, coal mining, iron, engineering, railways, ship building, ceramics and glass, wood and stone work, clothing, textiles; printing, and carriage building, besides miscel- laneous class including cab drivers, bakers, and tanners. Sixty-two subdi- visions are enumerated in this list-for example 10 building trades and 13 diff ferent guilds in iron working. Among the striking trades were the lath-renders and the deal porters. Among the joiners and carpenters. there were 27. strikes i; among the masons, 20; among the col Hers, 19.

Revive the Droopinx Enersies.

When the physical energies droop, revive them with that safest and most active of tonics Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By timely use of this salutary and agreeable medicine you will save yourself from positive diseaseS for be assured that the ianguor and loss of strength and appetite which troubles you is in fact the precursor of some malady of, perhaps, se- ious nature. Appetite, tranquility of the nervous system, and pristine vigor will assur- edly be restored if the Bitters are used system atically, and the almentary disturbance, which in nine cases out of ten gives rise to debility and nervousness, be entirely removed. Regularity of the bowels, active bliary secretion, the ex- pulsion of impurities from the blood through the kidneys, are also among the beneficent effects of this admirable restorative.

A SToRY.-This story comes from Holyoke (" A prominent physician was making an evening call on Mayor Whit ting, when an alarm of fire was sounded. The first rumor located the fire in the Opera House. The doctor asked if it was insured, and when the Mayor told him it was, he coolly remarked, let the good work go on! The next message from the fire announced that a certain shed was burned instead of the Opera House, whereupon the doctor evinced no little excitement, exclaimed, why, my sleigh was in that shed r Let the good work go on,' quietly responded the Mayor"

Gold and Silver.

When the Roman Empire was at the summit of its glory, and its citizens en- joyed maximum of comfort and happi- ness, it is estimated by the best authori- ties that it possessed not less than $1,- 800, 000,0 900 of gold and silver. But the sources of the precious metals began to fail. During the first and second cen turies of the Christian era $2OO, 1000, 900 was lost. In the year 400 there was only about $1, 100, ,O00, 900 left. By5OO it had sunk to $500, 900, 900; by 700, to $6OO,- 100000; by 800, to $4O0, ,OOO,O 900; and by the year 1900, it is believed that the total money-wealth of the Roman Elm pire was not more than .$15O, 900, ,OOO- only one-tenth of what it had been 1 200 years before The European world, meantime, had gone from bright light to thick darkness-from happiness to wretchedness-from intelligence to deg radiation and deep barbarism. When Rome possessed $1, ,500, ,OOO,OOO, each Emperor, on dying, left from $2 to $2O to every citizen of the Empire when the amount was reduced to $50, 900, 900, the utmost poverty prevailed; COW could be bought for dollar and sheep for s1xpence, and human beings became so cheap that they were scarcely con sidered worth holding even as slaves, but were transformed into live money currency-a man or woman passing from hand to hand as representative of BIO! These were "The Dark Ages" and now occurred the horrors of history. Not one in ten thousand could read or write. Europe was steeped in crime.
 Suddenly Spain discovered Central America, with it's gold and silver mines. The amount of the precious metals quad rupled in a century. It has been in creasing ever since, but it is now esti- mated by the best authorities that all the gold and silver in the world could be stored in building 300 feet square.
