Friends of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
will find many points of satisfaction in the
annual report of the trustees. The condition
of the institution and the art schools attached
to it is prosperous There is no debt on the
Museum, and there is small sum in the
treasury. The report further points out that
this prosperity is almost entirely due to the
liberality of the trustees and their friends In
TIE way of gifts and loans of choice pictures
and other objects of art. Due appreciation of
this kindness is expressed.
1t might naturally be expected that even DEM
ocratic legislators would be inclined to diminish,
rather than increase, the difficulties with which
the trade of this city is burdened; but bill
is now favorably entertained by them at AL
bany which does no. justify any such expecta-
ton. 1t is measure to prevent freight trains
from running below Sixtieth-st. The bill is
awakening good deal of indignation among
the merchants, and with reason. One OF them
asserts that it now costs $30,000,OOO a year
to transfer through this city the 15,O0O,OOO
tons of freight handled by roads. 1t is well
known that excessive terminal charges and
lack of proper facilities in that regard greatly
retard the commercial growth of this city.
The bill ought to be defeated.

oCrooENARIAN ECCENrRrCIrY.

John Gill, an octogenaran, OF New York,
is sought to be interdcted by his children as
incompetent TO take care of his property, and
to be consigned to an asylum as lunatic to
be taken care of himself. The proof, both Of
ncompetency and lunacy consists in his hav-
ing permitted pair Of young English girls
whom he had imported as servants, to get
away with half million Of his money, and to
expel his children from the family domicile.
The old man is Unfortunately deal, and inveter-
ate shouting through an ear trumpet had 10 be
done by counsel in order to reach him with
their questions as a witness. When asked
what monarch reigned in England he replied
George the Fourth" but, excepting that he
seemed unaware that the royal George, half a
century ago, handed in his checks there was
no evidence of insanity. His counsel as
cribed that error to his deafness, which is OF
many years standing. On being asked if he
proposed TO marry either o. the girls, he replied
that he "was 50 years Of age, and he thought it
about time he gave up" There is q rational
probability that the Introduction and lunatic
inquiry will both fail and leave the old
codger to have his spree out and, in a little
while, get matters in the mortuary court,

Hoist with His own Petard.

It was Christmas time, and the train was
almost full. A quiet looking gentlemen
walked down the platform in search of
place. He stopped before a carriage in which
there was vacant seat-no, not quite vacant
in it stood a small, black handbag. A stout
person stood next beside it in the corner.
"Room here ?" demanded the quiet gentle
men. NO" growled the stout. mo one

Got out Coming back, growled the stout.
Perhaps the newcomer had bis own views as
to how far this vague statement was reliable;
for he ssid in his quiet tone, II will sit there
until your friend returns" The train began
to move. your friend is late, )" said the quiet
1t was fairly in motion. "Your friend has lost
the train" exclaimed the quiet, in tones oil
sympathy; "but" he added, "he shan't lose
his properly" and he hurled the black bag
out of the window. The stout made an inef
fectual effort to save the bag, and hen burs
out into language not that Of blessing The
package was, OF course, his own. He onll
wished to keep the seat unoccuped with
view to his own comfort. He did not try tina
plan again on his next journey.

why American ships DO Not Pay

From the Boston Advertiser.
The steamships constituting the American
line are good boats, well equipped, reasona-
bly, swift and having good reputation for
safety. But the expenses of operation were
very heavy and among these expenses are all
the extra petty charges for shipping sesmen,
for consular service and others, from which
steamships not under the American flag are
exempt. These were more than sufficient to
convert what would have been a profitable
into a losing business. Relieve American
shipping OF these unnecessary burdens and
we shall have American shipping, whether we
buy ships abroad or make them at home.
Leave these burdens on the business and
though we make our registry perfectly free to
all vessels, wherever built, we shall never
have merchant marine worthy Of our com
mercial greatness.

THE cheapest revolution extant has broken
out in Hayti. A revolutionary army con-
sisting of 100 men under the lead of General
Barlow, equipped with Winchester I2-shoot-
ers. took the town of Miragoane on March ~
At o'clock. a. m. The government forces
were not on hand, and as the General armed
all insurgents with Remington rifles most OF
the able-bodied men joined him. The latest
heard is to the morning of the 29th, at which
time no tangible indications of government
or any enemy, had been discovered. Boyer
and Bazelais were at the head of the revolu-
tionary party. The war is not expected to
turn out as disastrous as an average railroad
accident.

IT is just 80 years since Julian, a then
famous musician, came over from Europe
with band Of so instruments and surprised
and delighted the Northern and Eastern
cities with such instrumental music as, prob
ably, has not been heard since. As no SINH
lar combinations followed, it probably did not
pay We now see that Max Brusch, Ger
man musician and composer, arrived on the
10th instant in New York with the design, as
conductor, Of giving a series OF concerts upon
grand scale He proposes to present chiefly
his own compositions, while Julian gave the
choicest productions OF the old masters. Max
has, probably, but one advantage over his
predecessor, and that is that the field from
which he will assemble his audiences is OF
about so times the extent it was then. New
York city, alone, has 10 times the number OF
millionaires that the whole country contained
80 years ago.

THERE was NEE ing Of the Jay Gould syn
dictate at St. Louis on the 10th inst to raliiy
the lease Of the Wabash road and its branches,
Obtained from the directors Of the Iron Noun
tain road, in New. York, on the Sth inst. The
lease is for 90 years, and its terms are very
favorable to the lessees, which is a familiar
feature in Mr.. Gould's operations. The Iron
Mountain railroad proper has something less
than 1000 miles of road, while the system ii
leases has $500 miles. But 90 years are a
long time at this stage OF the worlds progress
and only an inconceivably complacent mind
would accept the idea that the world will not
read of railroad as an obsolete and forgotten
mode Of crawling over the earth's surface,
long before the lease expires. There is, be-
sides, the probability that the Jay Gould SOW
ereignity, and all the.dominions of railroad
monarchs, will have fallen into government
possession before sixth OF the time is gone.
Revolutions move fast nowadays.
