Like the ladies, our public parks are just
now preparing to put on spring attire to
increase their attractions, which Gas in the
case of the ladies again) are always great,
winter and summer. Elsewhere in our
columns to-day will be found an account of
all that is going on at Nine. Natures grand
opening, and we have no doubt it will be
read with almost as much relish as the
descriptions of the many beautiful things
that are promised for the season of sun
shine and flowers by our own accomplished
modistes as we'll as by those of the gay
French capital. In the case Of the parks
nature is to receive valuable assistance at
the hands of art and the Commissioners,
and what with new paint, new flower beds,
new ornamentation and other improve
ments, we are promised sort of revival in
the charms Of our public pleasure grounds,
although the customary plant Is heard from
the department of insufficient funds for the
accomplishment Of all that might have been.
But there are other attractions in prepare
ton for the people Ct New York outside the
parks, of which they are so justly proud.
The entire upper section of the city, includ-
ing the newly annexed district, is to be
made to add to the general beauty of the
metropolis and to the enjoyment OF its citi-
zens and visitors. Rapid transit opens up
the fine country north of the Central Park
to all our residents, and befors long the
mansions of our wealthier classes and
the picturesque dwellings Of humber
householders will make the annexed terri
tory the most charming portion of the city.
Already active men who mean what they
say are moving to secure a new rapid tram
sit road from the Harlem River to Port
Chester, directly through Morrsania and
the populous towns Of Westchester
county. The Riverside Drive is to
be pushed forward to completion,
the difficulties in the way of the contrac-
tors having been surmounted, and will be
finished and ready for travel, it is said, by
next July. This drive passes along the
high land overlooking the Hudson River
for three miles. and will, with the Central
Park, form q splendid continuous drive Of
ten miles for those who leave the Park for
the drive at Seventy-second street and re-
enter it on the return by way of One Hun
dred and Tenth street, taking the west side
Of the lark going out and the east side COM
ing home. We are as yet only in the in
fancy Of our uptown Improvements, but in
few years time the upper part of the city
and the adjoining portion of Westchester
county, covered with fine mansions and
picturesque cottages, surrounded by gar
dens, will form one Of the most beautiful
spots on the American continent.

If half be true that is said Of the present
good disposition of American publishers in
regard to an international copyright law we
shall have such law one of these days. be-
cause there has never been any opposition
to it save on the part OF American pub
fishers, and, that opposition removed. the
natural justice of the case and the literary
opinion Of the country will sooner or later
force Congress into the right path. Con-
since but for O potent booksellers lobby,
which found it not difficult to convince the
wisdom OF the nation that the end of the
world would suddenly como il an American
publisher had to pay an English author
for the right to print anything what
ever that he could lay his hands
on. We are glad that the publishers
are convinced at last, even though
they have only been convinced by the
application to themselves, of the tactics they
hitherto used against publishers in Eng
land. But We do not see why statute for
conceding the protection Of law to the
property Of British authors should be per-
verified into protecting the industry OF
American publishers. That, however, is
what the publishers want. For a genera
ton they have opposed copyright with the
cry that the people ought to have cheap
literature now they say we ought to have
copyright, if the books may be made here.
But if the books could be made cheaper
elsewhere why is it not as good now
as formerly that literature should be cheap?
1t is not necessary to have treaty for an
International copyright law, and still less
necessary to load such a law with provisions
for the protection of the publishers. In the
Revised Statutes there are several Sec
tons which define the terms and con-
ditions upon which the works of citizens
of the United States have the protection of
the law as property. Let Congress add TO
these simply one section, declaring that all
the rights and privileges guaranteed to citi-
zens OF the United States by those sections
shall be extended to the citizens Of any
foreign country whose laws give. similar
protection to American authors, and the
whole thing is done. Every country in Eu-
rope will meet that with suitable legislation,
and international copyright will be reality.
Under the system proposed for the protec-
ton Of the bookmsking trades it will be q
mere nursing of two or three publishers.

1t is certain that the people who pay
literally for the Blackwells Island inst.tu-
tiors are entitled to know truthfully how
they are managed. No one can visit them
without official sanction. They are occa-
sionally inspected by the Grand Jury, but
the visit of that important body is made
after due notice, and everything, including
refreshments, is in readiness for such dis
tinguished gentlemen. OF course every
institution is on such occasions found TO
be perfect, and the management is pro-
nounced efficient, Christian and exemplary
in every respect. There ought to be some
plan by which the Island can be pounced
down upon suddenly by competent
authority and seen in its everyday suit. A
commission of five prominent citizens of
New York might be created by law, or
the Mayor might be authorized to ap-
point examiners from time to time, with
power to inspect the institutions at any
hour of the day or night and to perform the
duty unannounced in such manner as they
might elect. Such commission would
serve without pay. 1t would be salutary
check on the officials who are intrusted
with the guardianship of the prisoners and
the care of the unfortunates, and whose
eccentricities are illustrated by the dis
closures that now and then take place when

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of the Swedish Medicine
Company which appears in another col
umn. The compound called Swedish Bit
ters has been used throughout Europe for
ages with the most wonderful results, and
is now used and recommended by nearly
all the physicians, royal families and peo-
pie of Sweden, Norway, and the United
German Empire. Thousands of families
now residing in America can testify to its
great value as a family medicine. The Bit
ters are composed entirely of roots, barks
and gums, and have no injurious effect on
the most delicate organism. They are put
up in packages containing sufficient mate
rial to make one half gallon OF strong tinct-
ure, making it the cheapest as we'll as the
best medicine in use-putting it within
reach of all classes We understand that
the gentlemen composing the above firm
are perfectly responsible, and understand
their business thoroughly, having been en-
gagged exclusively in the manufacture OF
medicine and pharmaceutical preparations
for years. Your druggists have the remedy
for sale.

Some unprincipled dealers, because they
could see few cents more profit. have been
guilty of Offering worthless substitutes for
the only original and genuine Sui phur Soap
-Glenn's by name. Therefore the public
should guard against this deception, and
always ask for "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" by
its full name, and take no other.
Read the following evidence from q
highly respectable source:
DETROIT, MICK, Aug. 6, 1879.
G. N. CRITTENToN, ESo.-Dear Sir: have
travelled for three years for Messrs. Charles
Scribner's Sons, Publishers, New York, and
desire to inform you that have used your
incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex-
clusively for about four years; also have
recommended it to very many persons and
my constant experience has been that it
possesses all the medical advantages that
you claim for it. All to whom l have re-
commended it say, as we'll as myself, that
1t deserves its established reputation as the
best and most efficacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing, as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to SUBJ
stitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap for
Glenn's-saying they were "just as good"
but having myself tried other kinds, find
none are so good or so beneficial as the
genuine Sulphur Soap stamped Glenn's,"
which also have learned to observe always
bears the name of &C. N. Crittenton, Pro-
prietor," OH the packet.
Yours truly,
G. T. D. DURAND.
