and fourteen. There have been laid upoh
them layer after layer, strata upon strata,
and all, so to speak, of different architectural
formations. The consequence is marvellous
development of the city in altitude.
1t is a development too winch could not
well be avoided, any more than the surface
extension nOrthward could have been. Ihe
peculiar cOnfOrmat ion OF the city-c0nihcu
for its entire length to narrow limits between
two broad rivers-made both necessary. Inc
facilities of these rivers for commerce VIII
ALWAYS keen the general wholesale business OF
the CITY in the lower districts, and rs III these
paris the city cannot grow literally, u
grows perpendicularly. Another. though
a minor cause, producing the same effect, Hes
in the extraordinary costliness of the land III
the business section The occupation OF the
surface space only frequently repeated py
story after story could make building pay.
Some Of these developments in the last de-
cadc or two have been very interesting. when
The present Herald Building was constructed
1S6S-one could look down from its roof upon
every other building below Cinal-st. Seen
from either river or the bay it stood head
and shouders-at least one story mSher-than
all its fellows. To-day it is completely shut
out by its taller surroundings The Erenng
Post and TRIBUNE Building, have double the
number of floors and almost twice the a!tl-
tude i'll feet of the older publication Offices.
The owners OF the land on which the Equ Ia
bic and Western Union Buildings are erected
found the ground too va'uIblc for structures
,f ordinary height, and they literally built
castles in the air. \ score of other instances
will recall themselves 10 observing readers
familiar with the city.
The daring schemrs of architects, which ten
years ago excited laughter, prove to be tame
projects compared to those which have since
been carried ont. Tweve-story buildings are
constructed now where five years ago the
suggestion of six and seven was thought cX-
travagant From sub-basement to the top
floor in actual use. The TRIBUNE Building,
for instance. has twelve stories one OF them
more than double the usual height, ana the
easements are necessarily DEEPER than Is GUS
tomary. Buildings which i'll other cities OF
tie Union would be looked upon "a almost
palata are every year torn down to give
place to higher structures Witness the demo-
htlon of the fine buildings which lately
stood opposite Trinity Church and next
the Stock Exchange, and in b oadway oppo-
site the Post Office, and cv IL those as high
ND as Union Square and Twentythird-st.
The altitude of Union Square, far north as 1t
is. has almost doubled sace the Tiiianys tore
down DR.. Chervcr's church to build their
present handsome store. In lower Broadway,
block after block is thus growing III height
with the rapidly OF youth.

1iLE HOTSE OE PEERS.


Oar English exchanges come to us full OF
furious dcnunciation ana defence oil the House
Of Lords. II is an incubus upon the Nation !;
it is the bulwark o. the Nations safety; 1t Is
eraycly warned that il stands upon preciplce
and is daily tOpplHg to RUN; II Is adlnied to
remember that it is the stable foundation OF all
Euelish prosperity. The Adrer'isr declares
tb,t English constituencies thank Heaven for
fine House of Peers with as much iervOr "a
General Staney's daughters; Ihe Ddiy AeTS
waIns it that il can only endure II II conducts
itself with discretion Ih" T'meS gIavely bal
anccs the weight of the TWO houses in judicial
.cales. and tries to say nothing, ETC., etc.
All of which mighty poihcr comes from the
fcl.e attack made uron tie Upper House by
thr lrsn Cnicf Secretary IN WhIri he Ie-
min led it that il existed only by accident of
"b'rh,7 and declared plainly ,hat if the peer
age were toolhady enough to obshnaWly trifie
w,;l the 1i224t Of The people as thc7 hal done
since Lord Bcaconsfeld's Withdrawal, their
spsn of life WAS bur a shor one Coming ftom
a Minister Of the Crown, the speech and tnreetS
were sIanificqnt enough. so were the ringing
cheei- with which BIS threats were received IL
the House Of Commors. But 40 American
cxDects. even aft.r al t5is fuious blOwlneof
hons around the walls of the House of Peers
10 see il tumble 10 tie ground Ike ancient
Jericho. We have heard the horns blow too
often and 100 loudly before without effect. W"
all remember the deadlock under Lord GrtY
when the House of Lords was brought down by
a threat TO make enough neN peers to change
its vote. Radicals. both British and Cont.
nenIal. went wild with delight then; the ctlctc
aristocracy of England was coming TO the
ground, tie Upper House would he dissolved,
dukes, earlS maIquises III u week oI two WOlld
he plain citizens 1t all comes 10 nothing. it
ALWAYS Goes come TO nothing. AbOut once IN
five yeaIs the House Of Peers aud the Commons
Get INTO ,be same TOsit.On; very like, tn use a
homely figure TWO beligercnt he-goats; their
horns aie locked ho,h are in Il " bite heat OF
fury death, the lOo'ers-On think will ensuc be-
fore either will budgc Then suddenly they
mildly unlock and 90 pelccably away.
The Radical n England Is always threatening
destruction % the hereditary pccIagc; he
thinks he means what he says. But he
doesn't mean it, Tie average Engishman i'll
lis soul dearly loves lord. He is one Of his
national pIer0gatiyes. He has MIN tC toady,
10 abuse, to knucklc down 10, 10 swear at he
could not do without him. OF all men he is the
most uncomfortable when with his equals re is
used to looking down or up. AS Hodge SAYS OF
his wife: She ba COnyaynient thin; to have
"ahoot a thrash er when n be in my cups but
az be main fond of the idle wench, too"
New-York tribune., 1880-10-24

prOper he frightened our cares at any
rate by making us laugh; as If laughter
were always commendable, no matter
what we laugh at But it is impossible 10
think of Offenbach as q iOvial and light
hearted minstrel, who merely transgresseu
the bounds of decorum now and then through
an uncomfortable exuberance OF humor ana
excess of animal spirits. 1t is SAID that nc
began his career as serious musician, Wlth
reverence for the classical and romantic
schools and an ambition to do something IN
