The New York Times Of Tuesday gives
thu following pictnrs of the character Of
legislation which has been carried out by
the Democratic majority, and how the
country is to be crippled by the criminal
neglect Of providing means for meeting It's
current expenses.
The country is likely to have very
sharp reminder Of the penalties attached
to the passage Of Revenue and Appropria-
ton bills by a bowling mob OF excited leg
islators during the closing hours of q long
session. As Mr.. Foster pointed out yrStsr-
daY. in an interval of quiet in the House
there is already an absolute certainty Of q
very large deficit at the end Of the next
financial year. The reduction of the tax
on manufactured tobacco from "a cents to
16 cents viii cost tbs revenue at least ten
millions of dollars, and the abolition of the
duty on matches will account for two mil
lions more. As the appropriation bills al
ready passed call for twelve millions more
than those Of last year, there is very good
prospect Of a deficit on the fiscal year, 1875
9, of twsnty-four millions, even assuming
that the estimated receipts viii be affected
only by the reductions on internal revenue.
But, from the diminished volume Of exports
and other causes, the revenues ef the current
fiscal year bid fair to fall sight millions be-
low the estimates, and as those Of next rs
cal year are virtually an extension OF the
estimates, of the current year. there IS
reasonable probability that the deficit on
June 80, 1879, viii exceed thirty millions
of dollars.

Spite Of the efforts Of its friends who wish
ed to see Mr.. Stewards kind intention car
ried out, was, as predicted, turned into a
general hotel, on the pretsnce that women
would net patronize it, for want of mems
society. 1t is proper to stamp this as 3
coarse and shallow excuse for the peryer-
sion of trust. The arbitrary rules, which
forbade boarders a droplight, picture, an
extra chair, provided by themselves, made
women hesitate to enter, but as the accom-
modstions became known, they would have
given liberal support spite Of these draw
backs. Some useless misStatements about
the hotel deserYe. correction. 1t is rspor-
ted that it cost $4,000, 600, which carries
sbsurdity on the face of it. The Grand
Hotel in Paris, the largest and most sump-
tuous in the world, only cost 81, 900, 900 to
build; while the Woman's Hotel, though
tasteful, was not in the least expensive.
Its $500, goo worth Of pictures belonged to
the Stewart estate, and might as well hang
in the hotel as anywhere, if they cost half
tie sum named, and the ''vast" library
talked abOut, though.goOd, was no larger
than common village library. Women
stayed away because they could have neith-
sr psts or sewing machines, not because
they could not live in the society Of men.
There is more truth in the assertion that
the deprecated income Of other parts Of
the Stewart estate made it desirable tocon-
vert thiSnOtsl into paying property. One
of the Leland brothers, the best known ho-
tel men in the United States, said he could
have run the WOman's Hotel at paying
rate, for less than its lowest charges. The
WOmanis Hotel was no more legitimate
failure than Stewards store.

A story Of the olden time


When legendary Greece was young,
When ROme's beginnings were unsungi
And Egypt yet was in its prime,
Relates that, all the earth around,
Glad peace and lOYe together reigned.
That every evil was restrained,
And in q massive jar wss bound.
And none might lift the bolted lid,
Lest from their csverns hurrying 90
The monstrous shapes that lurk below,
In ever deep'ning darkness hid.
Alasl Pandora, strangely bind,
Impelled by fate. hasteE to unbar
The fe.tered fast'nings Of the jar,
Its hidden mysteries 70 find
And forth there troop the wretched crew
That hover Ger this sin-cursed world,
And from their hands are ever hurled
The darts that pierce Us through and through
Nor could we with these monsters cope,
Had not Pandora, in alarm,
Forced back, with terror.s siren gtheheo ArAl'
The bolt thst yet imprisons Hope.
The battle ragged, and every fend
That hoyeTs IN the murky air,
In hasty fight seemed gathered tnerei
For frenzied revelry convened
peath-hends. with Kissing, darting locks,
MALIGNANT spriLeE Of air and earth,
And every shape of hideous birth,
That Issued from Psndora's box,
Here seemed to have unbridled scope,
Unfettered freedom TO eface
Gods image nom Its dwelling place,
Till allis lost, aye-dtt bta Hope.
Ali well for man that Hope remainsl
Else, why endure perplexing strifef
Else, why not better death than life
Amid harassing tolls and pains2
Sweet HopeI God-given, priceless boon,
That, shining through the rayless night,
Makes darkness even as the light
That flashes at the highest noon
Sweet Hopei that thrO' HES sdreary way
Grows brighter with each added load
