THE PLAGUE or THE HOUSEHOLD.

Mr.. Charles Readc brings a post-matri-
monial cuogy of one of his hcroines to an
abrupt close with the declaration, "In thirty
years she never once mentioned tho SER
wants to him." No keen observer who ap-
plies this test to his own circle of acquant-
ances can avoid the conclusion that heroines
are declining rapidly as distinct class in
American society. The kitchen IL discussed
in the parlor quite as cxhauStively as the
paror is discussed in the kitchen. The do
nestle service Is fast becoming the staple of
household thought and conversation, to the ex-
cluson Of art, letters, society and reig-
ion. SO much attention is paid to the
mechanical processes of housekeeping that no
time is reserved for the cultivation of the
gentler graces of hospitality and home life.
The incompetency, defects of temper and
moral delnquencies of the help now below
stairs, the redeeming traits Of servants for
merly employed IN which their successors are
lamcntably deficient, the signs Of an approach
ING domestic crisis, the ways and means of
ayertng it without resorting to employment
agencies aud the prospect Of deliVerance when

Our regular London correspondent explains
how the runners respecting the reorganization
of the British Cabinet originated, and shows
how little ground there was for them. The
heads of three of the most important depart
ments are not likely to be chan sed about when
each is personally responsible for measures
which have been already maturcd. At the
same time Lord Derbys accession to office Is
considered only question Of time. The great
Lancashire Peer was snubbed by the Court
during the closing years of Lord Beaconsiields
reign, but he never lost the confidence OF
sober-minded and steady-gOing Conservatives
so that his return to Office would strengthen
the present Ministry. A Liberal Conservative
IN the late Ministry. he would be ConselY-
alive Liberal under Mr.. GladstOne's leader
shin. While the rumOred changes were pre-
mature, they were in accord with the fitness
of things The Premier is Overworked; Lord
Harrington would be at home III the War
Office and Mr.. Childers is financier OF the
first rank, although no stronger than Mr..
Goschen, whose rowing commission to Con-
stantinople seems to be drawing to a close.

Broadway is, of course, the great artery OF the
city at least for Its lower half; but it is not safe to
assume that the busuess-blood Of tho great city
flows through lis entire length. The Ill success OF
several ventures above Ihrty-fourthst on
Brollway-notably tho Metropolitan Concert Hail
has ia, ght canton 70 SPECTATORS. The fact Is
that above Thrty-fourth-st the business turns into
the avenue and leaves Broadway. 1t did so years
ago even further down. When the Grand Opera
House the Lyceurn I theatre and Booths were first
built they were unsuccessful because TOO far re-
moved from Broadway; ard it was not until Four
teenth and Twenty thrd-sts.. which lead west to
those places grew into great business thoroughfares
that the theatres became successful.

Plain talk is what is needed in regard to
the Worlds Fair One of the Commissioners
discusses with commendable candOr the chances
Of the failure of that enterprise. 1t is high
time that the Commissioners and the public
should find out precisely where they stand in
this matter. We have not thought the site
which has been selected the best one by any
means, but we have not opposed the Fair,
although we have insisted that the Commits
sioners must be sure before going on that
they have the hearty support of the public.
Failure at this stage would be discreditable,
but failure two years from now would be
absolutely disreputable.

Nervous women are warned against reading
the details of the invasion of a Brooklyn
household in broad daylight, and the daring
robbery which followed. Seldom have the
local columns Of this journal chronicled an
outrage so audacious as this.

The English Conservatives have won seat
at Coventry, but at high cost. Mr.. Parnell
issued orders to the Irish section of the con-
stituency and the Liberal candidate was voted
down. Lord Beaconsfeld appealed to the
country after scheming for several weeks to
identify the Liberals with the Home Rulers
and thus to prejudice the constituencies against
them, and his election manifesto made great
flourish over "policy of decomposition"
which was so much worse than famine and
plague. The Parnellites are now fully enlisted
as Conservative allies.

long deferred, but we are glad that Judge
Daniels brushed aside sophistries and sentl-
ment. The sentence of the Court IL eight
months imprisonment in the Penitentiary and
fine of $1,000. The fidelity of the wife,
the prisoners humiliation, wanderings and
financial losses, and the mawkish sentimentallty
of circle of goOd-natured acquaintances did
not alter the fact that he had been fairly
tried and justly convicted. The penalty
would have been considered scant enough ten
years ago, but it will serve the ends OF justice.
Lord Beaconsfield's novel has disappointed
the extravaganza expectations of his publishers
who find themselves $3.50 out of pocket
although they hope to balance the account by
issuing cheaper edition. If the imaginative
Premier had dropped few Eastern serpents
into his basket of stale fish, his temperance
in the role of romance writer would have been
more remuneratve for the bookmakors. Amerl-
cans cannot fail to make note of the fact
that English readers have not been allowed 10
see cheap edition Of this work. II English
publ shers controlled the American trade under
such an international copyright law as they
have been clamoring for these many years.
readers who could not afford to buy expensive
three-vOlume editions would have to wait UNI
til public interest in the work had died out
The Manhattan Club banquet was not seri-
Gus enough to be called political wake nor
so ardent as to have the effect OF an
inspiration meeting. 1t was so business
like and dull as to suggest the idea
of private accounting of stock preliminary to
voluntary bankruptcy. The guest Oh
the evening, General Hancock, made
quiet speech in acknowledgment of the
compliments sh0wered upon him, ana
being spared the necessity of dealing with
harassing "lOcal" questions, such as the
Tariff, put every one in good humor. There
was no lack of oratoTy, and whenever
eloquence was lacking political vaccination
was possible. Although everybody made an
effort to be CHEEKY and was ready to laugh ut
the minutest pleasantly, there was very little
humor on tap. Even General Gordon failed
to abash the company with any unexpected
ideas, and although Mr.. Marble had seat
assigned to him, there was no fire-bell at any
stage of the proceedings.

expensive or burdensome in any way.
Their meetings would be regulated by the
desires of the members or the exigencies es
of public affairs, but the organization,
once established, would be there and
available for any emergency, like the Wig
ilance committees of the Revolution, and
the Democratic Societies. which con-
tributed SO much to save the constitution
in 1900, dissolved the Federalist conspiracy
of that day, and gave US the glorious Dem
ocratic-R Republican administrations of
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson.
This, then, is no new thing under the
sun. 1t was the plan of action adopted
by the illustrious founders of the Demo-
cratic party to meet dangers almost pre-
cisely similar to those which confront rs.
It has the hearty approval and recommen-
dation of such leaders Of this day as
Samuel J. Tilden. Winfield Scott Han

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 90, 1881.

THE ISLES OF LONG AGO.
lovely isles 30 far away
In life's vast, surging sea,
Around their slopes the sunbeams play
Their silent melody.
Above their heights the changing skies
Their lights and shadows throw,
As they again before me rise
The Isles of Long Ago.
lovely iaaes. forever fair,
And clothed with green they stand:
No change or death can enter there.
In that fair summer land
Where happy birds. in shady bowers,
Sing with tho brooklets dow.
And myrtles deck, and fadeless flowers.
The Isles of Long Ago.
I've sailed out ON tho sea Of life,
Far from their pearly strand.
Yet often thro ugh tho din and strife
SEQ that summer land.
The ocean surging round it there
With ceaseless ebb and fiow;
so grand and pure and deathless fair
Tie Isles of Long Ago.
Time, while lites mighty tide moves on.
Stands over at the helm,
To guide DER quicksands and through storm
Safe to q higher realm;
There, standing on the hills of light,
To view the scene below.
I'll see them With clearer sight
The Isles OF Long Ago.
Far from the csasoless rush and roar
OF lifc's vast, surging sea,
They stand in light forever more.
In Gods eternity.
There in that blessed land of truth.
No death or change to know,
III walk again the ways OF youth.
The Isles of Long Ago.
