Revival of Lu.iness.

With the bright autumn weather, the re.
turn to town of city people and the incoming
horde of country merchants, the fall season
for all ordinary city traffic sets in with
great vim and spirit. The extent and char.
acter and life Of this trade, the vivacty
and movement of traffic in the metropolis,
are indicated in the advertising columns OF
the HERALD as faithfully as change Of
temperature is shown by the thermometer,
and to meet it's requirements, to give all the
space necessary for advertisers and give the
news as we'll, our regular double sheet is
spread out into supplements. triple
sheets, quadruple sheets and quintuple
sheets. No more complete mirror Of the
daily life of the people is to be found
anywhere than in our fity-six columns
and over of advertisements. Does any one
want coachman, cook or chamberinaid,
all the coachmen, cooks and chambermaids
find it out in the HERALD. Are coachmen,
cooks or chambermaids out of places, every
householder can learn in the HERALD where
to frld them; and very important news il
is too. Who has rooms to let and who ia
in want Of rooms; when the steamers go to
Europe and what is the price of passage,
houses for sale and houses to let; sales at
auction; rewards offered; sermons to be
preached; the great events in sport, and the
innumerable announcements of shopkeep-
ers of all sorts--these are few heads Of the
wonderful variety offered by our advertis.
ing columns, the quality that constitutes

life

as means of rendering the city a pleasant
place of residence. The overflow of our
population into New Jersey and Kings
county will be arrested, and it will move
steadily to the northward, the wealthy
preferring residences around the Park and
along the Hudson River, and people of
moderate means seeking cheap and
healthful homes in the less picturesque
region north of the Harlem River. Our
city will become to America what Paris is
to the world the most pleasant place to
live in. People who acquire wealth in the
interior cities will come here to enjoy it,
because they will find here what they can
find nowhere else on the Continent art
and refinement and intelligence, easy facili-
ties of intercourse with wide circle of cul-
tivated people, and rational enjoyment OF
the blessings of fortune in the eyes of peo-
pie whose sympathetic appreciation is one
of the chief elements of social pleasure

The small Boy at sch ool.

When the summer vacation ends and the
mother of the best boy in the world sees
her hopeful off for school she is not to be
accused of lack of affection if she gives vent
to a long sigh Of relief. The small boy, if
worth rearing, is generally rs bright and
sharp as a new pin, but he is also as irritat-
ing, and any relief from him which can be
taken without causing neglect to himself is
within the right and duty Of every parent
to take. But after this is allowed, justice
to the small boy at school suggests that his
parents should look backward few years
to their own school days, and recall some
of the peculiar troubles they experienced
at that time and which their offspring can
not escape to-day. Except in some partly
civilized rural districts boys are not fogged,
cuffed and abused in school as those of the
last generation were but they do not OBJ
tain all the benefits which school organiza-
ton could give them. In England the
teacher looks to the boys recreations al
most as closely as he does to their studies.
The English schoolboy frequently plays
cricket, swims, rides, rows, runs, jumps
and enjoys other sports under the direction
and with the express encouragement of his
teacher, who also offers prizes, al
though these are never costly, and thus ply
steal training and athletic tendencies keep
The New York herald., 1878-09-15

pace with mental development. In the United
States, on the contrary. it is an unusually
lucky school that has in its ungrassed yard
swing or couple of parallel bars
the general diversion is confined
to marbles, which have done much TO de.
velop the taste for gambling which SO many
parents have reason to deplore in then
boys. ALI this can easily be changed.
There are games--lawn tennis, football and
others-which can be established within
the school yard itself, and in which the
teacher should manifest as much interest
as he does in the boys lessons, encourag.
ing the spirit of emulation and giving
prizes to the most proficient. There ID
something supremely ridiculous in the
fact that the American boy scarcely ever
participates in athletic sports, under
proper organization and training, until h
is almost man and goes to college, Will.
his English cousins begin from the first ia
develop body and mind under the same
teacher.
The New York herald., 1878-09-15

fact that the Sunday sermon Is
positive punishment to nearly every
child who goes to- church. Ihis
is entirely unnecessary and inexcusaDle.
There is no religious truth which cannot De
expressed in language which any child can
comprehend, while simplicity of diction
can never belittlo great idea to adult
minds. A positive reform in the manner OF
pulpit oratory is demanded by the interests
of the Church as well rs the people. For
a business man to look forward to the peace
and rest of Sunday, and then in church be
compelled, by long, thin, labored Sermon
to wish himself back again at his hardest
work, is not creditable to the pulpit; but 1t
is very common experience. and among
reverent men, too. The Sermon on the
Mount has never been equalled for compre-
heiisiveness, strength and simplicity; but
if 6'sermon equally short was ever preached
in New York city we have not heard OF 1t.
1t is no excuse for long sermons to say that
many of the most popular pastors preach
them. Phenomenal sense or eloquence will
make listeners oblivious to time; but not
every man. no matter how conscientious and
devoted pastor he may be, has phenome-
nal gifts. Let pulpit utterances be as brief,
forcible and distinct as their matter justi-
ties, and they will cease to be the bores they
too frequently are and become the benefit
that they should be.

Managers, Operas and Piays.

Our dramatic columns this morning re-
produce some of the opinions of Managers
Hess and Sim, the latter being the lessee
of the Brooklyn Park Theatre, where the
former will open his season of opera with
Miss Emma Abbott as prima donna. Both
are in accord with all New York managers
in expecting successful season, and are
showing their faith by the earnestness with
which they are preparing 10 compete with
other musical and dramatic attractions.
Az Colonel Sim believes in combination
of first class entertainments with pop
ular prices there seems nothing more
for which the Brooklyn people can
ask him. Miss Abbott, whose Amer
lean debut in opera will take place
ut the Brooklyn Park, gives our readers
some interesting information about herself,
her peculiar experiences and her hopes, and
attributes her successes to the quality
without which no one can be great. We
also give some particulars of the approach
ing revival of the "School for Scandal" at
Wallack's, with an extraordinary cast, and
an outline of Sardou's "NTother and Son,
which is in rehearsal ut the Union Square
Theatre. 1t is quite evident, from the at

Thiers Triu ln ID n a N (.

A year ago, when Thiers died, ex-Pres-
dent of the French Republic, and. whether
ruling or ruled, the greatest of the new Re-
public's statesmen, politics were more infu-
entail than honor in France, and the funeral
service took place in an obscure church.
But politics have changed much since
then, and the first yearly anniversary of the
old patriots death was celebrated by
mass in famous Notre Dame itself That
Thiers' successor went shooting instead Of
attending the service did not detract at all
from the impressiveness of the occasion, for
Thiers dead completely overshadowed
MacMahon living; the Marshal-Presi-
dent would have been less con-
spicuous if present than he was by
his absence OF the dead statesman the
service, the historic church, the audience,
the scenes and demonstrations our corre-
spondent writes at great length, yet no one
can read his letter without wishing it were
longer. The occasion was an extraordinary
one, even for extraordinary Paris, and its
peculiar features, as detailed in our col
umns, are worthy of the close consideration
OF thoughtful readers.
The New York herald., 1878-09-15
What the Politicians Are Saying
and Doing.

Although the local campaign in the city
will not fairly open until after The adjourn
ment of the democratic and republican
State conventions our local columns to-day
show that the politicians are not idle and
that the rumor mongers do not evince dis
position to forego their favorite amusement.
Beneath a quiet surface, if We are 10 credit
the current gossip. plots deep and dire are
IN process of Matching, bargains and trades
Tor property which it may be difficult to
deliver are being industriously driven and
the giants of political warfare are girding
on their armor for terrific battle. The
onslaughts are to commence, We are told, in
the State conventions The enemies Of
Mr.. Conkling will lead the charge in tho
republican gathering at Saratoga, and,
as they are certain to be in mi
nority, are likely to withdraw and
attempt to divide the party in the State on
the outside issue of indorsing the Pres
ident's policy or saying nothing about it.
In the Democratic State Convention is to
be fought yet more severe contest--a
struggle between Ex-Governor Tilden
and Mr.. john Kelly. If Mr.. Tilden
should fall in the lists the trumpet call Of
the next Democratic National Convention
will fail to recall him to political life. If
Mr. Kelly rolls in the dust the knife of his
helmet and consign him and his Tammany
organization to the tomb.
The question of the Mayoralty, in which
all citizens feel a lively interest, like all
other local issues appears destined to re-
main in abeyance until after the return of
the democrats from Syracuse and the re-
publicans from Saratoga. In the absence
of any sign from Mr.. John Kelly as to the
intentions Of Tammamy his followers seem
to look upon the chances Of Mr.. Conover
for the party nomination as the most prom
ising. The report that Mr.. Kelly may
himself be in the field is discredited,
although there is unanimous admis-
sion that he would be stronger than any
candidate he could name. On the outside
All interesting story is afoat of negotiations
betwee the regular republicans and Mr..
Ely looking to the latter's denomination on
q combination ticket, and the schedule of
the effects the present Mayor can bring into
the partnership is carefully given. But
then the question is asked if the republi-
cans accept Mayor Ely what, besides the
offices enumerated, can they get with him !?
It certainly would seem important Tor the
Mayor to build himself up party among the
democratic opponents of Tammany before
listening to the seductive overtures of
the republican leaders. Meanwhile the
people Of New York may watch quietly for
the future development of the greenback
and labor movement, and live in the hope
that they will receive from the hands of Mr..
Kelly or somebody else strong, earnest,
capable and faithful man for the next
Mayor of their city.
