against the Education bill, that measure is
shelved for this session, which closes to-mor-
row. In view Of the grave changes proposed,
nothing may be lost by the delberatiOn which

Ii was suggested some time ago when Con-
greSs was arranging its tours" for the Sum-
mer that it might be well to call the
Subcommittee by the names which they
ought honestly to bear starting of with the
Subcommittee on Coney Island. That Sub
Committee has arrived and has formed itself
with wonderful promptude into Sub-Sub-
Committee on Brighton Beach.
Mr.. Tillen'is said, on nigh Democratic au-
thority, TO have been actually weak enough
TO admit for a moment the possibility of his
defeat in the struggle IOr a nomination, and
to have indicated Justice stephen Field, OF
the United States Supreme Court, as his re-
siduary lcgatec But he soon recovered, and
remarked that, after all, there was only one
man whom the party could afford, etc, etc.
The mongaged Democracy won't find their
moItgagee making many such lapses.
No doubt the public will be interested IN
the reports that an attempt is to be made
with foreign capital to build an underground
railroad in this city, under an old charter
which permits the company to use a portion
of City Hall Park for a station and also
portion of Union Square for the same pUr-
pose This is truly . pretty project. There
is very little left of City Hall Park now, and
probably the public will not be any more dis

any serious error 10y STIMULATING that no money
shall be advanced until all legal difficulties
me removed. IL may be that the project is
merely designed to alarm the elevated roads.
The Count de Chambord has emerged from
his seclusiOn at Frohsdorf to remind the
French people that he is willing to accept the
throne which the II use of Bourbon lost by
the Revolution of 1880. Henry ", as the
Legitimists persist in regarding him, claims
that he acted a patriotic part when in 1873
he insisted on the "white flag instead Of the
tricolor. and intimates that there is much to be
told about the transactions Of that critical
time. France he says, expected a King, but
"political intriguers had determined chat the
country should have Mayor of the Palace "
Implying that he was only to rule in name,
while some astute statesman was to play
the part of Charles Martel and exercise
absolute sway. 1t is, however, his expressed
purpose never to become the King OF
a faction OF a party, and his appeal TO
all honest men for support render the old
Counts address of current interest. In
this way he makes bid for Bonapartist sup
port and reminds the Orleans Princes who
have lately shown uncommon anxiety" for the
throne, that he must be taken INTO account IN
their dynastic combinations. While the man
