The Mayors views on the defects in the city
government and on certain legislation pro-
posed at Albany, which are reported elsewhere
have much good sense and sound reason
though some OF his conclusions are open to
question. Mr.. Grace has shown in his messages
anG other uttcranccs on municipal affairs that
be has given careful thought to tie interests OF
the metropolis, and many of his recommends
tions have been marked by good Judgment.
The trouble is that his practice has not always
squared with his professions. Unfit nomina-
IONS cannot be justified or even excused on the
ground that the Aldermen will not confirm any
other. The Mayo. ought to DO his duty, how
ever badly others may fall short. Mr.
Grace insists very properly that New-IOrk
ought to be allowed to work out her own saliva
ton with less meddling and muddlng from
Albany. But is it surprising tl.at we can get
no relief when we send such men as make up
most of our present del, cation to represent our
interests at the State Capitol

reason for suicide is known or can be surmsed.
Dir. Van Rensselaer, apparently had everything
TO live for, and his friends had no reason to sus-
pect that he was keeping any trouble or grief

theory of accident with the nature Of the
wound, although the Coroner declares himself

Jirn's Education.

looked forward to the event, and
had arranged a dinner, to which he
invited u large number of acquaint-
anees. The young man was modest,
and, to the great humiliation OF his
father, made no attempt to display
his learning. The old man waited
several days, and when at last he saw
no evidences OF his sons education, be
approached him and said:
