THE ANNUAL MOVING-D1Y.

In many houses Of the metropolis there will
be an uneasy feeling to-day. The cause VIII be
found in the near approach of the annual NOV
ing-time. Already tho work has begun OF pre-
pairing the household gear for its yearly change
of abode. The skirmish line of the army of
movers took possession Of the streets yesterday
and the great rowing body will follow to-mor-
row. AT noon on Tuesday the landlord will cry
ont the time Is up" Dispossess summons
returnablc in two hours, may be issued for re-
fractory tenants. And he who has not then
proyided IL roof to shelter his homeless ones
may be made to suffer for his neglect.
Happily. however the hard hearted landlord
with his evicting bailIff is an anomaly in this
country. Though rents are high and New
York is an expensive place III which to live, 1t IL
only the lazy, shiftless or dissolute man who
cannot as q rule earn sufficient to house his
family. There are sOne unfortunate persons
without the means of doing that, and there arc
some landlords who care only for the dollars
and cents they can get out of their property.
But both classes are small and they do not often
come in contact in this city.
The absence of homes i'll NcwYork Is great
drawback to its moral progress. There are
1O2. 624 buildings in the city, of which 7S,3GS
are occupied wholly or in part as dwelling
houses. Over 100000 families are sheltered
in those houses, or sixteen persons for every
building in the city which is occupied in any
way rs a dwelling. But only 32,O9G families
own the houses they occupy, leaving 10000
families in rented dwellings. These belong to
TINT part of the population which goes to make
uu the army of movers. 1t is estimated that at
least sc, 900 of those families move every year.
And place can hardly be called home which
is only intended to be occupied for few
months.
The old custom of celebrating May Day with
a festival has been turned into one which has
the very opposite effect. panorama of NOV
ing furniture vans. with sidewalks numbered
with shapeless parcels and bulging boxes, ia not
a good substitute for the old Roman festival
in honor of Flora. But the world moves, as
well as the people upon it, though in mysteri'
ous wuy. And the reason for this latter day
migratory habit on May l which results in q
shattering of the household gods, must De put
down as one of the mysteries.

A Tax Commissioner is soon to be appointed.
Mayor Edison, himself one of the solid men of New
York, knows that this is one of the offices that
ought not to be fooled with. Above all things,
experience and integrity are, in this place,
indispensable, -whether. with reference to the
interests of the city, or to those of the taxpayers
We do not know what candidates may be pressed
upon the Mayors attention, but there is one about
whom he can make no mistake. Mr.. Coleman has
been a deputy for fifteen years; has in that time
mastered every detail of the office, and
has never had word of complaint breathed against
him from any quarter In these Civil Service Re
form days there ought to be no other recommends
ton equal to that; and we hope to hear that Mr.
Coleman is to be promoted.

Nowadays, thanks to the powerful ana wide

eager for the eulogles of the multitude, than

former has never been able so successfully to
popularise his sort of science as to draw an
audience filing vast garden whenever 1t is
announced that he Is to have benefit. That Is
where the latter has the advantage But the
former. on the other hand, undoubtedly har-
vests more of that ultimate, clarified, enduring
fame which to some people is more attractive
than that efiervescing applause OF tho hour
which ia ant to be untimely ended by the ar
rival of the police.

Last Monday small party Of gentlemen
made an excursion up the Hudson to Fish
kill to celebrate the hundredth anniversary
OF the founding of The Order Of the Cincinnati.
Their trip and its purpose attracted only n
brief passing notice from the newspapers as
matter Of minor consequence. The mem
bers OF the order included in the company
were almost without exception men I'M
known outside of Il narrow circle. There was
no public interest in them, and none in the
anniversary they went forth to celebrate.
Yet the formation of the Order of the Gin
cinnati, at the suggestion of Gen. KNOX, ex-
cited the most bitter controversy and awall-
ened the greatest alarm throughout the con-
federated States in 1888. The most far-sccing
statesmen and the sinccrcst patriots of that
day thought they discovered in 1t the germ
OF an hereditary nobility. and their fears
were shared by n large part Of the people.
The members of the order We're to be ex-
clusively officers Of the Revolutionary army
and navy, and membership was to be handed
down to their eldest male posterity. They
adopted a badge-a bald eagle, suspend
cd by q daik-buc ribbon with white
borders, symbocal Of the union of the
United States with France; and, the
privilege of membership having been cx-
tended to n number Of French officers,
the decoration was proudly worn at the
French court side by side with the collars
OF the Golden Fleece though no subject had
ever before been permitted to wear there the
decorations OF a foreign State.
FRANKLIN satirizcd the order In q letter
from Paris. SAMUEL ADAMS assaulted it with
severity las stride toward an hereditary
military nobility as rapid as ever was made
In 81 short time" and he especially CEN
sured the admission OF European military
subjects into the Society. He called that con-
cession as prcposterous and dangerous as
would be the admission OF delegation Of
Frenchmen into Congress. JOHN ADAMS
thought it contrary to the Confederation
and against the Constitutions of the several
States for party Of men to set up such an
hereditary order. Tho citizens Of Cam
bridge, in Massachusetts,. then, as now a ia
nous seat OF learning and cultivation, in
structed their Representative in General
Court to work for the suppression Of the de-
tested ORDER and the Massachusetts, Legis-
laturo declared 1t to DO dangerous to the
peace. liberty, and safety OF tho Union"
Rhode Island DISTINGUISHED such Of her citi-
zens "a were members Of tho order. Even in
South Carolina, where there was more Of q
leaning toward aristocraoy, almost all Of the
chief men Of the State denounced it with
violence; and ADAMUs BURKE. stanch
South Carolina patriot OF Irish birth, pub
ilshed pamphlet bitterly assaillng the
order, which was reprinted in every State
and widely read, being circulated more or
less extensively in Europe even.

Revolution was just over. The States had
succeeded In throwing on the yoke Of King.

women who sincerely desire what Is vaguely
termed the higher education. and who have

The Mexican agents In London have so far

The Philadelphia Collection of Livinl

In order to see . permanent, respect
able, well-housed, and well-kept collection OF
beasts, birds, and reptiles, the inhabitant Of
New York ia obliged to go across New Jer-
soy to Philadelphia. The fact Is not credit
able to this town; nevertheless, 1t Is fact.
Compared with tho highly interesting gar
den and mena9erie Of the Geological Society
Of Philadelphia, the collection In the Central
Park is almost ridiculous in its poverty. In
stead Of heterogeneous congress OF show

aged. The Garden is spacious and attrac-
lively laid out. The buildings are comfort
able and handsome. The collection Is both
extensive and comprehensive. The invest
ment In structures, furniture. and animals
amounts to nearly half million dollars;
and the institution is self-supporting; that
Is to say, the receipts for admission fees
more than pay all the current expenses.
We learn from the eleventh annual report
Of the Board Of Directors governing this ad-
mirable institution that In the twelve months
ending with March the Garden was visited
by 252, 500 persons, an average OF about 100
day the year round. Adult visitors pay
twenty-five cents at the gate; children, ten
cents. The Garden is open every Sunday,
the attendance being thrice that OF any other
day OF the week The Superintendent of the
menagerie reports that during the year 1873
living specimens were added to the collec-
ton, some by purchase some by gift, and
nearly 100 by birth. Among the specimens
born in the Garden arc n macaQuc monkey,
two Bactrian camelS, two zebus, one wal
laby. two wapiti. and six alleged dingos.
The Superintendent pays fitting tribute to
the memory OF ToPsY, an accomplished
young female oran9-outang, who died last

One OF the most interesting Of spectacles is

thropist and poet pass from cage to cage and

watching with childlike delight the antics OF

derful," said SAMUEL ADAMS, "that men
should imagine that people who had freely
spent blood and treasure in support OF equal
rights should, the moment the struggle was
over, DO reconciled to tho odlous hereditary
distinction Of families"
But the Order OF the Cincinnati continued
to exist. Before many years. however, 1t
ceased to attract public attention. The soci-
ETY. has gone on to this day, membership be-
ing handed down from father to son, and yet
1t has created no distinction which the public
either respects or fears. The living men,
bers arc good enough mon perhaps, but who
they arc only few know. Merely because
they are members Of the Order Of the Cincin-
natl they get no particular consideration.
however proud they may BIO themselves OF
their hereditary badges. Membership In tho
order merely means that Q man traces his
ancestry back to Revolutionary officers, and
In these days very many families arc prouder
OF their descent from the Tories Of the Revo-
luton, because they fancy tho Tories were
better placed, socially, than the patriots.
Yet the opponents Of tho Order OF the Gin
cinnati In 1888 had reasonable grounds for
their hostility. Tho theory on which 1t was
founded was one which has no proper place
In republic, where there can be no trans
missible honors. But, because such an order
does not belong here, the Cincinnati inevitably
dropped into insigniflcance. Tbefears OF the
patriots and statesmen Of one hundred years
ago have therefore, proved groundless.
They buildcd better than they knew-found-
ed social and political system which made
all arstocratic pretensions and all claims to
hereditary distinctions ridiculous vanities.
BEN FRANKLIN, take him all In all per-
haps tho greatest man this country has pro-
duced. accordingly pursued the right course
when he merely made fun Of the Order OF tho
Cincinnati, which tho ADAMsEs treated 30
solemnly. mans share In his family. he
said, was but half part; In the second
generation but fourth part; and when the
ninth generation was reached but tho five
hundred and eleventh part. When, therefore,
tho badges and the titles Of the Cincinnati
had come down to the eldest son OF the ninth
generation, his share would be but the
thousand and twenty-second part Of that Of
the first recipient.
Last Mondays celebration shows that the
honor has been evaporating at about that rate.
