Certain editors and statesmen of New-Jersey are
just now deeply afflicted over the possibility that
he Republican party may lose the valuable services
of Mr.. Robson in the House on account OF MS
translation to the Senate. These gentlemen should
console themselves with the reflection that ability
training and experience be used TO excellent ad
vantage in the Senate as well as in the House.
Learning skill and success as q legislator ana de-
batter ought not to constitute a bar to promotion
and a Senator Of all men in public lfe should Do
made of tried aud seasoned timber Mr.. MCPHERSON
represents his patent cattle and other spe-
cal interestS with great ability, and if New-Jersey
Republicans are satisfied to send him colleague VINO
will be nothing but match for him IN that line OF
business they can hcw Senator out OF almost any
sappy stick But if they want q man wbO will be
heard from, and who will be positive force IN the
legislative councils of the Nation, they must be more
careful in their selection. Mir. Robson may not DO
the best man. but he should not be rejected for the
reason that no has done so well in the House. 1rel-
ton legislators will have the best reason in the
world for passing him by as soon as they have dis
covered bigger man.

that as the Matching of the eggs and the winter

Miss Kate Fields Ladies' Cooperative Dress
Association. of which the public has not heard
much of late, has received reinforcement in
the shape of the assistance of the Englshman
who organized the very successful society in
London which is taken as the prototype of
the New-York project. He holds ont the at
tractive prospect to the members of the as
ISOLATION that they will be able to get three
dresses for the money they now pay for two.
This ought to give the enterprise plenty of
fresh zeal and as many new members as it
wants.

Amateur fnanciers in Congress, who have
views about refunding, and think themselves
competent to teach the Secretary of the Treas
ury, should remember that it is possible to
save at the spigot and waste at the bung. In
their eageness to pare down the interest rate
to the lowest possible figure they should make
sure that they do not plunge the country into
serious currency troubles which will check the
present current of prosperity. If there is to
be any mistake as to the rate of interest which
will float the bonds at par, it had better be
on the side of making them too strong rather
than fO0 weak.

A monument which is to cost over 100000
ought to be an impressive work of art, and
competent critics pronounce the design Of the
Yorktown Memorial to be worthy of the
event it commentaries. Unfortunately there
seems to have been some question as to what
particular event it is proposed to celebrate,
and in a letter published elsewhere Mr.. II. P.
Johnston, of the College of the City OF New
York, presents bis reasons for differing with
Nr. John Austin Stevens upon this point.
The inscription has already been criticised by
such authorities as Major Asa Bird Gardner,
Mr.. Stevens and Mr. Johnston. so that it might
appear that the Congressional Committee and
the designers have not consulted the best
authorities. 1t is to be hoped that the matt,
will be thoroughly discussed SO that the most
appropriate inscription can be settled upon
before the monument is erected.

A century ago little boys Of four

Sweet il the summers evening gale
Pleasant tho autumnal winds that shake

And pleasant to the soborod soul
The silence Of tho wintry scene
When nature shrouda her In her trance,
In deep tranquility.
Not undelightful now TO roam,
The wild heath sparkling on the sight;
Not undelightfnl now topace
Tho forests ample round.
And see the spangled branches shine,
And snatch the moss OF many a hue
That varies the old trees brown bark,
Or DER the gray stone spreads.

Der the bright hollys gay green lcAycs;
The ivy round the leafess oak
Clasps It's full foliage close.
