THE Bridgetona Patriot says: "Hornets
are said to be correct prognosticators re-
garding snow storms, and to have built
their nests slose to the ground the present
season. which is considered q sure sign
that there will not be any deep SHOWS
through the winter. When they build
their nests high, it is said to be an indica-
ton of deep SHOWS, which they build high
to avoid" Then we have passed some
"high" old winters within our recollec-
ton, for often we have observed hornets
nests on trees twenty feet or more from
the. ground. n

racy in the Assembly. Tammany proved AN
ant pupil. It's voto for Mr.. johnson, and the
consequent defeat of poor Mr.. Bum, are to Dc
regarded as its emphatic and drastic way Oh
letting Anti. Tanmany understand that II can
not be snubbed and sat down upon anu reie-
gated to Grievances with impunity.
1t goes without saying that all the lliuen
organs will greet this action OF Iammahy WIFI
acurses red with uncommon wrath, ana Will
supplement the curses with feroclous chargeS
of bargaining between Tammany and the he-
publicans But the Mysteries of these papers
will not impress the people. There Is notnihg
but nebulous and gratuitOus rumor TO support
the assertion that Tammany's vote Tor MI
Johnson was not Tammanys affair pure anu
simple-the outcome of its indignation at the
treatment it received at the hands OF the
Speaker. The majority has been industriouSy
sowing the wind ever since the session com
menced in January, and is now reapinS the
whirlwind. 1t is not a good kind OF crop.
But then it is the only kind that could possibly
be expected considering the totally depraved

q r. POTTER'S NEGLECT.

The coroner's jury which has been invcsti-
eating the burning of the Potter Building mas
finished its work. 1t has proved to be mid
and merciful body, but its tenderness OF heart
ia rather for the owners of death-tTaps than
for the victims who die because OF them. The
only censure that these sensitive and sympa-
thetic Jurors have for Mr. Potter is for neglect
to apply to the Department of Buildings for
the proper permit to make repairs. lr TINS
permit had been applied for, the jurors say,
an inspection of the building would nave
been made and the break in the ovcrtaxed
hue, which caused the fire, might have been
discovered They are careful to wound Mr..
Potter's feelings as little as possible. Having
censured him, though with the utmost moder-
alton and dcicacy, perhaps they think that his
conscience may be trusted TO supply the de-
fciencies of the verdict. But the consclences
of men who take no pains to guard Their ten
ants against death i'll its most horrible form
are broken reeds to lean upon.
As to other points the finding is somewhat
confused, and mixes up recommendations ana
condemnations in prOmiscuous and untor-
tunate manner. 1t states that the fatal fiue
was improperly constructed and defective from
age. and that its side wall was broken. The
elevator-shaft is declared to have been the
most efficient agent in distributing the flames
through the building. The jurors very prop
erly condemn the practice OF dividing large
buildings into small offices by wooden
partitions, and recommend that stairs ana
elevators be built remote from each
other and inclosed with fire-proOf materials /;
also that fues should not be placed near
stairs or elevators. 1t is further urged that
the Department of Buildings prepare bills for
submission to the Legislature providing for the
proper construction of tiucs and Tor
frequent inspection of all tues, both
new and old, hereafter. Evidence was
presented which showed that the work of the
liremen was not all that it should have been,
but the jury finds no fault with the depart
ment, though it points out the delay in giving
the alarm, the absence of firemen detailed to
other duties, and the obstruction caused by the
telegraph wires as serious obstacles to the ef-
ticiency of the force on that occasion.
On the whole, the finding has good sense
though the framing of it is clumsy. But why
should Mr. Potter have been suffered to escape
so lightly

4 PHOSPHORUS INSTITUTION.

The Metropolitan Museum OF Art Is appa-
rcntly slander-proof. The management has
been persistently, sometimes absurdly and
even maliciously attacked, and the institution
would have been seriously injured if the public
had not reposed implicit confidence i'll the
honesty and sagacity of the officers and trus-
tees of the association. Recently the stale
sander has been revived that the Museum Is
fast losing the few friends it still has, and is
irretrievably in debt. Now the truth is that
the institution has never been in better tnan-
cial condition than it is now. The annual re-
port shows that on January l there was ba l.
ance of 81, SIS 30 in its treasury, and that a
floating indebtedness of $4,000 incurred in
recent purchases has been wiped out by sub
scriptions received during the last month. An
institution whose property and collections ex-
cecd 5000 600 in value does not to-day owe n
single dollar, but has several thousand dollars
to its credit in bank.
The Museum is bankrupt neither in means
nor in friends. Owing to IA change in the date
OF the annual meeting, the present report
covers only two-thirds of year. yet during that
time the gifts to the institution have been
$74,4 ,435 in money, and S67, $50 iii books, por-
traits and collections Among these gifts are a
collection OF glass from Mr.. James Jackson
Jaryes, series of casts Of ivory carvings. a

cOyS0lATIOyS OF TIE DEADLOCK


In the matter of the chronic Democratic in
harmony in this city, we presume our friends
of the different factions understand perfectly
the position of THE TRIBUNE, so that it is
hardly necessary for us to repeat that we look
upon the continuance OF the quarrel with SIN
cere satisfaction, or to say that without sym
DathiZng with the ultimate objects OF any one
Of them we are deeply interested in all, and
quite willing to encourage, so far as we may,
each faction in its turn. We are ready to cry
" More power to your elbow" to each az the
fight goes on, and the warmer 1T wakes the
more we and all Republicans enjoy 1t. To
honest men there is provcrbially no more pleas
ing spectacle than the falling out of rOgues.
Lovers as we all are of peace and brotherly
love there are circumstances under which we
are willing to fOTegO our natural preference
and look with calm and serious content upon
q scrimmagc the continuance of which insureS
the safety of the spectator while its termination
wond be sure to endanger it. With the merits
of this Democratic quarrel we have little or no
concern; we are chiefly interested i'll seeing
the fight go on, and in having the cOmbatants
work themselves up into such rage as to put
compromisc out of the question and make
peace impossible Believing as We do with all
our hearts that the purposes of the Democratic
PARTY are unworthy and that its success would
be a great public calamity, we view its intestine
ouarrels with something more than com
placency, and do not hesitate to say in all
frankness that we should regard their ceSsa-
ton and the establishment Of harmony among
them as a detriment to the pubic welfare and
menace to the pubic peace. We prefer two
Democratic parties to one, and beyond two the
more the merrier. Whatever tends to widen
the breach between the factions or to increase
the number of rival organizations we regard
on general principles with satisfaction.
In this state of things we shall not he misun-
derstood when we say that the conduct Of
Sneaker Patterson, as of the Country Democrats
generally since the beginning of the present
session of the Legislature, meets our most
hearty approval. There have been moments
since this growing over the small Albany bone
began when we feared there might be a COM
promise or a division agreed upon, and that
event we knew meant trouble for the public
larder, upon which the reconciled and harmon
lied mastiils would at once proceed to pounce.
But there was really 40 danger. The sublime
fatuity that has reigncd over all the attempts
that have been made III the past few years to
adjust an old quarrel by beginning new one,
| To reorganize by disorganization, and to put
an end to factiousness by increasing the num-
Der of factions, could safely be trusted TO STUN
| ble over every reasonable or practicable plan
of adjustment, and in the end widen the breach

Spinola seems to have jealous care of her fame for
speaking of Speaker Patterson's alleged breach Of
faith with Tammany, he said: "Troy has lost ono
championship for Paddy Ryan got whipped but

Of the State Of New-YOrk" That does not sound
like n remark made in the interest Of Democratic

On the whole, we are inclined 10 think that Dr.
Newman failed to surpass Mr.. Foster. He did very
wel-came nearer to Foster than anyone familiar
with that gifted mans speech would have thought
possible--but he did not quito reach his level. To
demonstrate this il is only necessary TO reproduce
few passages of Fosters speech and they certainly
cannot be reproduced too often: "Iie tCOnkling)
never spoke within the walls Of any building-a
Nation his auditors and the world his adj
mirers.D "Bis grandeur awed the thousands; his
logic convinced the millions. and bis eloqnencs
charmed all mankind" "Ie will be known M the
grandest son of the grandest State the grandest
Union Gods sun ever kissed with its lOyehness."
Those are perceptiyely intense and cOnsummately

UUSIC And THE DRAMA.
FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE.

"Pendragon" with Mr.. Barrett as King hrtlur
has had crowded houses each night of the week
thus far at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. and has been
received with genuine interest and sympathy. Tho
performance last night passed smoothly and at
times brilliantly within two hours and threequar-
ters-the text having been judiciously cut. No ono
who cares for real dramatic literature or tho
AIT of acting will omit to witness this
representation. The piece contains situations Off
markabIe str myth, and is pervaded 10y an atnos-
phere of poetical beauty without being raised above
human sympathy or overlaid with the pedantry OF
literary art Mr. Barrett's acting is freer and moro
spontaneous than at first,-nober in spirit or moro
intense in expression 1t could not be. Mr. James.
also rs Ldncel0t, expresses a strong conception OF
manly virtue 0verb0me by passion and sorrow. with
