NOVEMBER l4.-The funeral Of Mrs, Jos.
Buck, one Of our oldest residents, was very
largely attended on Tuesday Of this week.
The weather for a week past has been
anything but agreeable-snow, rain, frost
and sunshine alternating. Bad for health,
good for the doctors, and shocking for pedes-
trians These dark nights and dismal days
are most auspicious occasions for passing
judgment upon our pavements. There is
certainly room for improvements in this
direction. Improved pavements and we'll.
lighted streets would add vastly to the COM
fort aud convenience of our people and the
good opinion ofstrangers when visiting town.
Miss Mary L. Dodson the eflicentteach
er of the B Secondary school, is seriously i'll
with bilious fever. Mr.. A. j. Rowland is
temporarily filling the vacancy.
To aye local. Of the Carbon Democrat,
we would say, Guess again. Prof Rowland
may, no doubt, "volunteer some informa-
ion," but we challenge him to name the
author of these briefs Besides, Prof. Rowland
lives "on the other side Of Jord Jersey.
by courtesy of the principal Of our
schools we have been furnished the follow
ing list Of attendants for the month of DC
tUbcr.

II is now generally admitted that the pres
ent tcncment-l 0use system is a blight and a
curse How can New-York he delivered from
ltP Wise legislation will do much, systematic
and thorough administration even more, 10
promote the welfare Of the working classes !;
buf If the one hundred thousand families who
now live in tenements are ever To have clean,
comfortable and healthy homes, new buildings
must be constructed As soon as improved
accommodations are furnished at low rentals
the better class of tenants will move into the
new buildings, and the tenements which they
glye ND will be occupied by "A poorer class.
The worst roOkeres would be lett vacant the
teuements that were not 50 bad would be
mcuded. and the worst Of them would be
made over from the bottom and in tins way
the whole system would be levelled upward.
Three New York capitalists, we are glad TO
observe, have taken step in the night di-
rection. They are building near the Grand
Street ferry a block of teucments six stories
III height, on an improved plan, winch has
becn successfully introduced in London. The
characteristic feature of the design is u cen
trail tower leading from the sidewalk to the
roof In this tower are circular stairways in
closed by iire-proof walls, and from the land
ings balconies with slate flooring give access
TO the rooms. The danger from fire is thus
reduced to the minimum. Each family has a
set of two or three rooms entirely apart from
the other tenementS on the same floor, and
each apartment has direct light and thorough
ventilation. From the iiving-roOm a door opens
into an extension which is fitted up Is a wash
room, with a Water-coset in the rear The
rooms are large, the windows are OF unusual
size, and all the appointments are excellent.
The building is closely modelled after the
three blocks erected by Mr.. Alfred 4. White
in South Brooklyn. Ii may not be In all re-
spects the model home for working people
which our architects were planning last VIM
fer. but it is a thoroughly good design, and,
moreover it is paying investment. Mr..
White charges his tenants from 50 21 to
81 90 a month for tenements OF three or
four rooms-very low rentals, and yet his
buildings yield him a fair return on the cost
of construction. The rentals OF the New
York block are TO he set at higher figures,
from So TO $40 month, and there is every
reason to believe that it will prove a remuner-
alive investment.
This complex problem of municipal life has
been worked out with excellent results in
Glasgow. large class of working people
has been induced to settle in suburb of that
city where tenements with home conveniences
and pretty gardens have been provided at
low rentals. In London the attempt to legis-
late the evils of tenement-hOuse life out Of
existence has been most expensive expert
ment. When the Artisans Dwellings Improve
ment Act was passed, it was taken for granted
that the reforms would cost the taxpayers lit
tie or nothing. The owners of plague spots

1t to be taken for granted that our Minister
10 England must be a rich man who can supplement
the Deficiencies OF his salary by drafts upon his pr-
va.e e1ch,qHcr. Nobody ventures to suggest that
~ Ambassador living rosoiu.ely ia London upon
his heal Income might still be respected. When
John Quincy Adams was in 1t. Petersburg. the En-
peror asked him il he going out OF town for ne
season. The sel-respecuug young man answered
that he was not. and intIuatsd that he could not
sford to do it. "Ah! see" answered His Imperial
Majestyi Considerations of finance, | suppose
and seemed much pleased wish the American's
frankness. If Minister has money OF his own. and
chooses to spend 1t N keeping up appearances, ha
does his country favor, perhaps which it
should be thankful for. but which il has
no right to demand of him. We ought not
10 lose the services of an able man because he Il
Door and cannot make a snow. When Samuel Adams
was sent by Massachusetts, TO the Continental Con-
prsss his nelghbors took a subscription and pre-.
sented the old Roman with "a suit of clothes which
he sorely needed. There were good many rich
memberso OF the Congress but though they gave
dinners, kept equlpages. aud lived generally in
handsome style, we are not aware that they con-
tributed any more than Samuel Adams to the
achievement of American Independence. Benjamin
Franklin, while representing US abroad before the
French Revolution, lived with great frRahty.
dressed plainly, aud took good care Of his countrYs
money and his own. He may have been disked,
but he never was despised.
1t is little odd that much stress should be laid
upon WIT called the necessary personal e1pen-
ditures of an American Munster in London. because
Englishmen themselves are never ashamed OF econ
