PAYING FOR E1LLEN BUILDINGS

Curious questions are raised in modern courts
about making compensation to the sufferers
from building which falls. The story of what
befel Miss Kendall, in Boston, is good exam
pie. When the Grand Duke Alexis few
years ago, made his noted visit to this country,
the city of Boston gave a great entertainment
in his honor The Common Council appointed
committee of arrangements. This committee
engaged the Music Hall for a grand concert,
and issued tickets. Miss Kendall obtained one
of these tickets and attended the performance.
Her seat was placed just under balcony built
around the upper part of the Hall. This bal
cony bore various architectural ornaments, one
of which was bust of Benjamin Franklin. The
printed programme requested the audience to
rise when @0ld Hundred" should be sung. The
immense crowd arose accordingly, Miss Kendall
among them. At that moment, from some
cause unknown, the bust of Franklin fell upon
her and broke her shoulder. She brought two
suits, one against the city corporation, and one
against the gentlemen of the committee The
court decided against both suits on the ground
that neither. city nor committee was negligent.
The Judges said, that in ordinary cases, the pro-
prietors of structure are supposed to be in
fault when any part Of it falls, unless they can
prove to the contrary, because they are respOn-
sible for the manner Of constructing it. But in
this instance neither the city nor the committee
had anything to do with fastening the bust of
Franklin in its place. They did not own the
building, or pnG up the bust, or give orders 10
have it done. They simply hired q building
which every person supposed to be suitable and

where he will. But the expenses of this church
usually betrayed by pew renD must be paid
so tho end of this plan is that the box is always
going round; the poor are necessarily urged
TO contribute; printed placards are even dis
played stating the number of cents which each
nearer should give as his share, and the ques-
ton of money is made more prominent in every
way even than in the other churches.
There arc two solutions to this difficulty
which suggest themselves to secular minds as
efiectual. First, let the church be less costly
Second, let the money thus saved be spent in
endowing the church, in rendering its pews
absolutely free to all comers. In this way the
temptation to quarrel for personal rights would
be removed, and the poor would in truth and
for the first time have the Gospel preached to
them as freely IN New-York and Chicago as on
thn Mains of Galiep.

SPRLNG on TIE COST

Along our Atlantic coast the first breath of
Spring has brought this year unusual activity.
Nature, as usual, is In no hurry there, whatever
tales we hear other dOings elsewhere. She sits
o half-frozen laggard upon the shore, the
gray, unthawed sky bent over her, lightened
only now and then by the chilled sunshine on
the black, fr0st-btten marshes, where the sand
has drifted from the beach during the Winters
storms, and lies in gray, Curled ridges There is
nc sign of reviving life beyond the reddening
knobs of the bay bushes and the little sage
green heaps of poverty grass Here and there,
through the wlthered salt-grass of last year, a
scared little hepatica lifts its head, or yellow
wind flower which the Jersey fisherman by tho
way calls by the same name as did the Persian
wOrshipper of Astarte two thousand years ago.
The same black wind-blOwn codars stand along
the coast and keep their melancl oily watch upon
the sea as when poor George Arnold sang his
ospreys came back weeks since to their huge
nests upon the trees they have killed, and flap
their great wings overhead with a piping cry,
which they probably intend as welcome to
Spring. but which is melancholy as the wall at
an Irish wake. The beach itself is blackened
with the burned fragments from the great forest
fires blown seward for miles.
On the shore farms the apple orchards are
only beginning to whiten and the peaches to
blush a faint pink; the farmer is leisurely maxi
ing ready to turn up his sandy ground to plant
his corn and potatoes; a few fields of Winter
wheat break with patches of pale emerald the

THE HEROES or POINf Aux BARQUES.

THE HEROES or POINT Aux BfRQUES.
Is no provision to he made by Congress for
the widows and children of the men who were
lost IN trying to save the crew Of the vessel
wrecked at Point aux BarQues2 Our readers
are already familiar with the details Of the trag
cdy. The lifc-saving crew, seven in number,
WAS the same which showed such dluntlcSs
courage and skill last Winter in bringing ashore
tho crew and passengers of the propeller Bert
.chv. aThc act,r We are told, was regarded
"by Yaterinen as one of the most difficult felts
sever performed on the lakes" This tried,
skilfnl crew put out in driving storm one
ni.ht las! week to the aid Of an unknown vessel
which had been driven on the reefs. The life
boat which they manned was swamped quar-
ter of n mile from the vessel, and the men
chung to 1t until one by one they sank in the icy
water and were lost, only one reaching the shore
in safety.
Now, if these men had been privates IN the
army, killed ut the post of duty, their wives OF
children would have received IL pension. Any
man whose service to his country demands the
risk of his life should be given the security that
if he dies in the discharge of his duty his family
will be taken care OF by his Government. 1t is
a matter of simple justice. There is no reason
nor right in the distinction now made between
our soldiers and life-Saving crews in this
matter. The latter are employed i'll the business
of saving human life and prOperty-assuredly
nobcr work than destroying them. The hard
ships and exposures they are habitually called
on to undergo are moro severe than those of
men enlisted in the army. The skill required
is NJ great, and the danger involved as a rule is
greater. Why should their families, therefore,
bc left Daupers, while those Of the soldier are
provided for by his cOuntry2
Mr. Cox, in bill before Congress, has
provided for the giving of pensions to the
widows of men killed in the life saving service.
Now is the time to pass it. Or if that cannot be
done in season to help the families of these gal
liant fellows Mt Point aux BarGucs, let their case
be specially looked to before Congress adjOuns.
Mr.. Cox is the friend of this service; it Will no
doubt be his welcome duty to see to it.

The confidence of the foreign bankers who
have ventured to make new loans in the face of
hostile legislation at Albany is based upon
their own willingness to compromise and to
meet the Committee on Taxation half way.
They have dispatched strong delegation to
the State Capital and have already hit upon
several schemes of taxation that would be sat-
isfactory to themselves. Their conciliatory
bearing should win support. The Legislature
will make terrible bhunder if it deliberately
drives away foreign capital from our city.

The Radicals have made positive gains IN the
English elections. They now have Cabinet
office and the most important Under-Secretary-
ship, and are in strong force below the gangway.
Our London correspondent explains many
points respecting the organization of the
Cabinet which have been very obscure
in the general press dispatches. Sir Charles
Dixie, for one thing, would not take even the
best Office outside of the Cabinet until Mr.
Chamberlain was made President OF the Board
of Trade. Mr.. Stansfeld, for another thing,
is not in the Cabinet at all. The Ministry, as
whole, is an exceptionally strong body of finan-
ciers and practical statesmen. The Queen Will
not find her favorites there and the Premier IS
not courtier like Lord BcacOnsfield, but she is
spared the modification of admitting to the
Cabinet so democratic representative as Sir
Charles Dixie, who once made some pointed
remarks about royal establishments.
