/ remember whimsical incident oc-
curing in theater where the leading
member Of the company was celebrated
for his magnificent physique. One night
he was enacting "Virginius," and his
mother, who had never been in theater
in all her life, happened to be in the
boxes. Fresh from her native Yorkshire
village, it will be readily imagined that
she was somewhat bewildered with the
novelty Of the scene.
When her son appeared she was amazed
at the grandeur Of his presence in flesh
ings, sandals and toga. His appearance
caused great deal of enthusiastic ap-
plause. When it had subsided the proud
mother, unable to restrain herself, and
to the astonishment Of all around her,
said, "Pm so glad you like him. He's
my son." Whereupon the mother imme-
diately became the center of attraction,
and one admirer exclaimed, "Well,
Madame, you may well be proud of your
son, for he looks godlike as a Romanp'
"Ah," sighed the poor old lady in reply,
81 didn't want him to be a Roman. He
would have looked splendid as a police
manp

THE TREES ABOUT THE EspLANADE

Workmen are busy cutting and trim
ming the surplus tops and limbs of the
trees on the Fifth-street Esplanade about
the Fountain, and generally putting them
in shape for the time of green leaves and
shade. We can not refrain from ex-
pressing the regret we feel and tnat every
lover of beauty of form in trees must
feel that each alternate tree can not be
removed before all are ruined by their
contiguity to each other. Left as they
are we shall in few years more of
growth have only bean poles to look at,
the branching elegance of form that is
only attained by separating growing trees
from each other having been by that
time wholly destroyed. Sycamores, such
as are growing about The Fountain,
ought to stand forty feet apart to de-
velop into their full beauty of shape.
Thirty feet is the nearest that should,
under any consideration be permit
ted. =, The magnificent trees that
under the Government of the
late Emperor were planted in
the streets of Paris were none of them
placed closer than forty and some of
them as far as fifty feet apart. While
trees are young this closeness does not
much matter, but in few years they
grow up, limbs interlace and finally, for
want Of sun and air, die, and the tree is
permanently deformed and its symmetry
destroyed forever. These are too beau
tiful trees to suffer such fate, and we
hope they may have the treatment
needed to preserve their symmetry unim-
paired.

On Monday night, two men residing at
Cap Blanc, on their way home from
Montcalm Ward across the Cove Field,
got upon board which they tore from
fence to slide over the incline leading
down toward the head Of the Cove steps
leading into Champlain street. So great
was the velocity which they attained,
however, that on nearing the edge Of the
cliff they were unable to stop themselves,
and were thrown over the precipice, from
a height Of over one hundred and fifty
feet into yard at the back of house
below. Xavier Drolet, one of the two,
was very dangerously injured; the other,
Victor Desnover, has also received sew
eral painful contusions.

The Gazette says: There are no reasons
for electing to a third term which would
not be stronger for re-elccting to a fourth
fifth and successive terms. Also, when this
traditional bar had been broken down, the
Influence of the President to renominate
himself through the forces of organization
and patronage would grow stronger in each
successive term. We know OF no support
ers of General Grant for a third term who
do not include therein as many terms as he
shall desire; nor do we know OF any reason
why they should not.-Cincinnati will be a
busy place this season. First, we shall
have the May Festival; next. the Meth d.
st Conference; then the Millers' EXPOSE
tion; next the Democratic National
Convention, and finally, the Industrial Ex-
position. All these gatherings will keep
our hotels, railroads and city generally in a
state of activity. Meantime the Board of
Public Works should see that the streets
are put in good order.-The conclusion has
been reached that Tilden demands and will
receive a nomination for the Presidency.

different and distinct in character, al
though there is an attempt to connect
them. The first is the COMPLAINT of unem-
ployed and idle whites that they are de.
prived of employment by Chinese laborers.
The other is that the Chinese quarter is
dangerous to the public health, and is
therefore nuisance. to be abated by the
authorities. The scheme seems to be to
purge the Chinese quarter in so thorough a
way as to drive the Chinese out
Tof the city and country. Newspaper
reports Of the condition OF crowded,
unsewered, unventilated, and under
ground tenements in the Chinese quarter,
Of the filth in which they live, Of their
concealment of smallpox and other con-
tagious diseases, thus making their quarter
a pestilence breeding bed, sustain the judg-
ment that it contains great dangers to the
public health. But to declare g.eat quar-
ter, embracing twelve squares and thirty
thousand persons, nuisance in bulk, with
out discrimination, to be abated by the
health summary powers, raises the ques-
ton, How shall it be abared? Laws have
been enacted forbidding business corpora
tions to employ the Chinese. These have
so far been Intellectual, and the Kearneyites
threaten the property of these corporations.
The capitalists and employers appear to
have combined to protect themselves and
the Chinese from riots
