NeIC York Herald.
Our readers cannot fail to note thepromi-
ncnce' given in this trial of 6uiteau 70 that
curious and revolving phase OF religious
fanattcism which has for so many years
existed in New York called the Oneida
Community. Public attention has never
been directed &c the Oneida business De-
cause the whole subject was so disgust
ing. so offensive aud so indecent as 10
be even beyond the limits of popular DIS
cussion. The institution died OF It's own
accord. and is now, we believe, simply CO.
operative affair, fourishing rs all THESE
concerns do flourish when managed WIN
thrift and care and due consideration Oh
the principles of cooperation. The moral
Il
that from so foul q source nothing could
come but such evidences OF crime ana oe-
nro,ity rs are shown in the case Of Guiteau-
Business A ctiStty.
INe,o York San,
Down town, too, the work of building is
going on at an unexampled rate. Yet as
fast as the CONSTITUENCIES are completed
thew seem to fill up with tenants, the de-
mand for stores and offices being unusually
brisk, and the rents paid much in excess Oh
what they were three or four years ago
even. Accordingly vast amount OF the
capital which has been earning only two or
three per cent. annually Is put in these
structures, which RE increasing so rapidly
and are so enormous size that their owners
could not expect to find tenants for them
if the city was not growing in population
and business in wealth and the yolvme OF
its transactions, at a rate unparalleled In the
past. :!
This activity in building is atfording the
mechanics plenty Of work, and enables
them to command wages which seem 10 DO
satisfactory. The high prices OF food this
season, however, tell severely against taml-
lies with small or moderate incomes, and
there is no prospect that we shall have
markets more favorable to them for many
months To come Articles OF clothing, on
the contrary, have not advanced, though IN
general the cost of living is now consldera-
bly, more than it was year ago. Board is
higher, the hotels hold their rooms at Stitf-
er rates, restaurants have put up their
prices for food, and rents have been in
creased.
Trained Servants and Mistresses.
A great deal, though none too much, is
heard nowadays about training schools for
servants; but who is to train mistresses to
be fit for the servants graduated from some
good school? Girls who have been specially
taught by philanthropic ladies to be skill.
| full, correct and neat at every species OF
ehosuwork are also provided, while learn
| ing, with neat and comfortable apartments
for themselves. Such girls will never be
content to divide every twenty-four hours
between the cavernOus, unSavory kitchen
of city house and the shabby den called
by courtesy a servants room. Such quar-
tiers are an improvement upon those from
which some servants come, but no girl so
we'll trained as to be satisfactory elsewhere
in house will accept such accommoda-
tons for single day.
