pavements and filthy condition of our
streets. Intelligent citizens have no craze
for m economy which would arrest the
hand Of improvement, whether along the
line of our piers or in the streets OF
the city but they do insist that the
work shall be solidly done and that it shall
cost no more than the real value of the
labor expended npon it. If, therefore,
Mayor Cooper shall prove equal to his po-
sition. he will favor needed improvements
and take good care that they are not brought
into discredit by their excessive cost. AS
the business Of the country and OF the city
is likely to recover from its long stagnation
during his term, he will have great oppor-
tunity to direct the march of local inn
provements if he is wise and courageous
enough to ahjure politics an lend all his
energy to the material welfare of the me-
tropolis.

The Decorative Art Exhibition.

The movement started by some Of our
leading citizens about two years ago, with
the object OF encouraging and assisting
females who seek to earn living by the
pursuit Of the decorative art, has expanded
into what promises to be before long one oi
the most useful and fourishing Of oul
many benevolent enterprises. The loan
exhibition at the National Academy of De-
sign last year was very successful and
promises to be even more profitable this
year. This exposition. which is now open,
affords our citizens an opportunity to ex-
anime and study a valuable and classi.
fed collection Of rare articles of art
and virtu, loaned to the society
from many private collections and
grouped together with care, as we'll as with
excellent taste and judgment. The visitors
have the qualification of seeing works Of
great value, that have been brought to New
York by wealthy citizens from all parts Of
the world at enormous cost, and which,
being private property, are not to be seen
at other times except by the personal
friends of the owners The small entrance
fee goes wholly to the charity in behalf OF
which the exhibition is arranged, and
which is the more deserving as it unites in
struction with relief and promotes the self
respect Of the recipients of its favors by
enabling them to earn living by their own
industry and genius Two or three hours
cannot be more agreeably spent than I'm the
six rooms Of the exhibition which sre nov
thrown open to the public.

Willingness Of victim to testify against a
notorious woman, who was one of two who
are alleged to have iorcibly detained her

of Emma Grosjean is one of hundreds.
Endeayoring to stop in a downward
career she finds herself graspcd by two
female harpies, both, it is said, rich from
their crimes, and placed amid such foul
surroundings that escape seemed impos-
sible. Nevertheless she escaped but freed
from the first she found she had only fIut-

these harpies is held to answer for her

UnjustiGabic Arrests for shopIifting.

A respectable married German woman
was arrested two or three weeks ago at dry
goods store on tho. Bowery charged with
shopliiting. A piece Of embroidery which
was similar to that kept in the store was
seen in her satchel, the accusation was made
that she had taken it from the counter, and
she was arrested, subjected to a search and
committed to the General Sessions on the
affidavit of the proprietor and his assistants.
The accused was tried yesterday, and after
hearing the evidence the Court, on motion
of her counsel, ordered her immediate dis
charge. The piece Of embroidery had been
bought by the lady at the store few days

affront to their sense of decorum to assume
that there is danger Of their misbshaving them
selves unless they are objects of perpetual
espionage.
We are begin aing to feel something OF the
quiet which generally comes upon US as We
draw near to the summer solstice, but the enor-
NOUS export business keeps commerce uncom-
monty lively. The quantity of grain and pro-
duce coming to the seaboard is fully double
what it ever was before. This enormous cur
rent of wealth has been sweeping to tide water
with uninterrupted velocity ever since the year
began. The effect of it is already being felt in
the increased value of the shares of the
railways whose earnings from freights
have improved and in the readiness with
which government bonds at the low rate
OF four per cent. interest are absorbed.
There is every promise of fine fall business,
beginning early and lasting through the sea-
son. Prices no doubt will be low. Goods of
all kinds are abundant, the people are economi-
cal and everybody who has got to buy anything
Is determined to get the fullest equivalent he
can for what he has to spend. But the expense
OF doing business will be correspondingly re-
duced. Rents are down to half what they used
to be-in some instances to a third-wages are
lower, there will not be as many ''drummers"
hired nor any thing like as many risks or bad
debts incurred. 1t will take New York five
years at least to recover sufficiently to have &C.
cupaton for all the present population, but the
condition of things will meanwhile be on the
mend all the while. YARMOUTH
