ing the account of the loss of we'll known actress
in Phiadelphia-the name is suppressed, lest we
might cause her to be suspected of seeking an adj
vertisement-p probably smiled in highly sagacious
manner and murmured: Good advertising

A great many actresses have diamonds. Theatrical
people are VIGOROUSLY lavish and careless. Here
are all the circumstances inviting the pckpocket
and the sneak thief 20 potential spoils beyond the
dreams of avarice Why should not the average of
such losses be greater therefore. among this class
than among othersi And yet we venture to pre-
dict that the periodical announcement that Miss
Dash, the well-known actress, has been robbed OF
her diamonds will continue to be received with

Mr.. o. b. Potter was one of the few men before
the Aqueduct Commission on Wednesday who
seemed to recognize that the New-York of twenty
i've years hence will dwarf that of to-day, and
require a constant and unlimited supply of pure
water Yet he argued for the most strait laced
economy in thu present expenditures, suggesting
that the work necessary to be done twenty-five
years from now will be less to the city of that
day than the present work is to the New-fork OF
to-day" This rightly construed is an argument in
favor Of liberal present expenditures III the con-
struction OF an aqucduct capable of supplying the

charged with keeping the children of poor parents
out of schools because many Of them are so crowded.
and the imprc sion 10 given that they are "sDOng-
ing upon the public school system This Is absurd.
The children Of ali classes in the community stand
on the same level in the schools. The children OF
the rich who pay large proportion of the taxes,
certainly have as much right TO be there as tho
children of the poor. who do not pay so much. Ii
has always been tho pride of the public school sys~
TEN of this city that many parents who could afford
to send their children to private schools sent them
TO the public schools because the standard OF in
