On Wednesday, March 80, will be opened at tine
rooms of the Decorative Art Society, NO. "a Eass
Nineteenth-st, an exhibition Of remarkable series
of enbroideries by Mrs. Oliver Wendell Holiness jr.'
of Boston, These pictures-for such they are
although the work Of needle instead OF pench--
have already been shown in Boston, and have eVoKeu
unbounded praise from both amateurs and artists.
The embroideries are said to be as unlike ordinary
needlework as the impressionist school Oh palntlDg
is unlike the preRaphaeitej but the artistc reSuis
are rephted to be wonderful. The subjects are
chiefly sketches from nature, landscapes ana water
scapes as perfect ntheir effects as the work Oh tne
ablest colorsts 1t has long been adesre tnat tneso
embroideries should be seen in this city by the
many lovers of the beautiful who could not see them
in Roston and as the exhibition will be but for
limited time it is desirable to call early attention
to it,
Among the most persistent and annoying Oh the
volators of city ordinances is the firm that STORES
its goods on the Park-place sidewalk at the foot OF
the northern entrance to the Elevated Rallway
station At all hours Of the day the PLACE is blocked
with packing-cases causing Rrea. inconvenience to
the many people passing to and from the trains.
There were once some city officials whose duty 1t
was to look after such cases. Perhaps they are
buried somewhere under the heaps that cumDer tne
streets Certainly the public gets little proof that
they are still alive.
The wrath of the average New-Yorker toward the
Street Uncleaning Department is not assuaged by
the mouthfu Of dirt he acquires every time he steps
into the street.
Owners of suburban property can well afford TO
nav the landlords and real estate agents OF New
.sor.As anfr a p
with great ability and success TO drive tenants ouI
of the city.
The hog cholera excitement is the biggest thlng
in the porcine line since Theodore Thomas bad to
leave Cincinnati because he refused to beat time
with h9m.
IL is said in disparagement Of Colonel Forney's
new novel that it chiefly remarkable for Its eccen
trio grammar There was q similar peculiarly IN
the famous Life of Hancock" but nobody ever
called it a blemish 1t was one of the great beau
ties of that remarkable work. A volcanic, genius
under the spell of articuate inspiration cannot
afford to bother himself about so commonplace
thing as correct grammar Any pedant can Writo
correct grammar. but only Forney can emit aruc-
ulate inspiration"
Pinchback is unhappy He says he does not ike
the looks of the last New-York nominations. Il
can't tell where the lightning is going to strike
The best thing ne con do is to put up 0 lightning
rod.
There isn't 50 much filth in the streets as there
was The unfortunate wayfarer has carried OF q
large portion Of 1t in his eyes and mouth.
That efervescelt patriot, Ben Hill, says the South
wants peace and good government. hthe South
would show its zeal for the same in other ways than
by stung ballot-boxes and bulldOzing negroes, the
North would have more sympathy. So longas peace"
in the South means suppression of the Franchise and
good government means Bourbon rule or ruin, all
the fine words of Mr.. Hill will have no more effect
upon the Northern mind than Dea-shooter on an
| alligator.
The number of houses in this city ornamented with
the symbol ITO Lett is larger than it has been for
many years. This would seem to indicate that there
are several people who object to paying the whole OF
their incomes for rent There is room enough outside
for everybody and if the present rate Of departure
continues the landlords and agents Will have the
| city all to themselves soon. They can suoIet 10
| each other then.
There ia to be no extra session, and after the Sem
ate adjourns there will be mighty little politics any
where. We shall have peaceful and happy sum-
rer. with nothing to do but watch tho Democratic
| Party fade away.
