THE District Commissioners have
aroused some hostility and will encounter
some opposition in their efforts to secure
the passage of bill providing for the en-
ployment of workhouse prisoners on the
street improvements.
The Commissioners recommendation, ap-
proved by the President in his message,
had so much that was wise, advisable aud
beneficial in it that tho evil was likely to
be overlooked.
Tho opposition comes from benevolent
and philsnthropic people who have made
prison life and discipline study, and who
protest strongly against n project for the
employment Of prisoners guilty of any de-
gree of crime upon the public streets where
their prison garb becomes brand which
can never be removed.
The worst possible evil Of prison manage
ment, they assert, is to expose the con-
victs to the public gaze, to make them live
and work in public places whore hundreds
and thousands of people will learn to asso.
ciate their faces with their striped suits.
1t IS important, If our jails are to be re-
formatories at all, that they should allow
those who complete their term Of imprison-
ment to emerge from their dark doorways
prepared and capable to lead an honest life.
This would seem almost impossible If the
offender has been branded, paraded and ad-
vertised as thief
Publicity is humiliating, demoralizlng,
and in every way prejudcial to the well
fare and future prospects of prisoner.
That prisoners should be taught and com.
| PEELED TO work is a proposition that will be
generally regarded with favor. That such
work should be confined to unfrequented
regions and to thinly settled precincts is i'm
portant. Work on the public streets, where
crowds assemble and passers-by look on, i!
TN evil that should not be tolerated. 1t Il
very desirable that our. streets should bt
graded, and very desirable that our pris
oners should be employed, but better fal
that neither should be done than that II b,
chargeable against this city that at thi
enlightened day system was adopted tn,
admitted tendency Of which is to make th
bad worse, the wicked more brutal the THE
moro dishonest, and to multiply the OBJ
stacles to repentance and steepen the wear,
pathway to reformation.
Let the prisoners work on the flats of tn
eastern branch, and till the soil of tho asy
lum grounds. Let them grade the street
beyond the thickly settled neighborhoodi
but shield them from that publicity tina
deadens shame and remorse, hardens tn
heart and brands as thief and transgres

THE proposition to put General Grant on
the retired list of the Army, with the rank
and pay Of General, meets the general ap-
proval of the press. 1t is felt that such q
movement would be in full accord wit the
dignity that attaches TO the ex-PresI lent
and former commander of tho leral
armies. The Senate bill to effect sdcl q
retirement, passed on tho 18th of last May,
is in tho House, and efforts will soon be
made to bring it before the consideration of
that body. Tho House by passing the
Fitz-John Porter bill has shown that it
docs not hold the views promulgated
by tho President in his veto Of that bill. 1t
docs not believe that to authorize tho ap'
pointment of man to the retired list Is an
encroachment upon the rights of the Exc
cutivo and is unconstitutional. Nor does
the Senate, which promptly passed, but not
by the required two-thirds vote, the Porter
bill after the President had vetoed it. AS
the Grant bill is identical,with tho Porter
and the Averill bills, Congress can have no
objection on constitutional grounds to pass
ing 1t. If IL fails, it will be because of dis
like to tho man whose nsmo IL bears. 1t is
not likely, however, that 1t will fail in
Congress.
The question is, can the President sign
it? Can ho endure the charge that will
certainly bo mado of inconsistency? Will
he have tho courage TO declare that he was
wrong in vetoing the Porter bill aud ne
glecting to approve tho Averill bill? Ho
certainly will bc inconsistent if he approves
tho Grant bill. He used the following
words in vetoing tho Porter bill
1t will create new oflce upon condition
that the particular person designated shall bo
chosen TO flll IL. Such an act, II eeems to pne,
ie either unnecessary or ineffective, or IL In.
wolves an encroachment by tho Legislative
branch OF the Government on the authority OF
the Executive. AS the Congress has no power
under the Constitution TO nominate or appoint
any oflcer and cannet lawfully impose on the
ing to oflce any individual OF its own selec-
tion, this bill, If 1t can be fairly construed as
requiring the President to mako this nomina-
tion and by and with the advice and consent
OF tho Senate the appointment which 1t au.
thorlzee, is in manifest violation OF the Con
stitution. If such be not Its Just interprota-
lion il must bo regarded as a mere act or ad
vice and counsel, which lacks In tho very ma
ture OF things the force OF positive law and can
servo no useful purpose on the statute books.
Exactly the same words apply to the
Grant bill. But he will not daro to use
them with the latter measure. He must
stand before the country as man who
suffered his partisanship TO swerve his
Judgment, or rs the one who stood between
the greatest captain of the age and his we'll
earned reward.

insisting that their estimates should be

AN ENSILAGE CONGRESS.
A Meeting of Farmers ON the SubJeca
of EnsiIage.

A Meeting of Farmers ON the SubJect
of EnsiIage.
Atthe third annual congress of farmers
interested in the ensilage system in New
York, over 200 agriculturists were present
representing nearly every State east Of the
Mis- issippi. DR.. A. S. Heath, of New York
city, presided Prof. Miles, of Amherst ceIlege,
delivered an interesting address on the sub
ject of ensilage and the best methods of pre-
serving green fodder. He though it should
be placed in the slos slowly, thus allowing
it to become heated. This is contrary to the
usual custom and occasioned much debate.
Elder L. W. F. Evans known as the head OF
the Shakers declared that the ensilage
system had been used with much success bv
his people.
Havemeyer's famous farm at Norwalk,
Conn, said there was twenty-four siIos on
the farm and that fifty times as many cattle
were kept on the same ground by the ensllage
system as before the method was used. The
cattle, he said, were also healthier. a reso-
luton was passed requesting the agricultural
department to make an analysis to determine
the comparative value of the qualities of the
milk from ensiage and ordinary fed cows
Professor J. P. Edwards, of Randolph, N.
Y, said that he fed sixty cows on nothing
but ensilage maize, and that they gave better
milk and were in better condition than ever
before.
Mr.. Mayer, on behalf of Mr.. Havemeyer,
invited the congress to visit his farm In Nor
walk and inspect the silos and cattle, A
large number accepted the invitation. The
congress then adjourned for one year.

To a cold.Eootsd Lady.

Madam, allow me to prescribe for you.
| have had long experience in the
management of delicate women, and be-
ieve | can give you some important ad-
vice. For the present I prescribe only
for your feet.
1st. Procure quantity of wooden
stockings-not such as you buy at the
stores under the name of lambs wool
that you can read a newspaper through
the kind that your Aunt Jerusha in the
country knits for you, that will keep
your feet dry and warm in spite of wind
and weather.
I'd. Hyou want to be really thorough,
change them every morning, hanging the
fresh ones by the fire during the night.
Sd. Procure thick calf-skin boots.
double uppers and triple soles, and wear
them from the first of October till the
first of May. Make frequent applications
of some good oil blacking.
4th. Avoid rubbers altogether, except
pair of large rubber boots, which may
be worn for little time through snow
drifts or food of water.
5th. Hold the bottoms of your feet in
cold water a quarter of an inch deep.
just before going to bed, two or three
minutes, and then rub them hard with
rough towels and your naked hand.
9Th. Now, madam, go out freely in
all weathers, and, believe me, not only
will your feet enjoy a good circulation
but as consequence of the good circula-
ton in the lower extremeties, your head
will be relieved of all its fulness and
your heart of its palpitations. You
complexion viii be greatly improved and
your health made better in every respect.

The First Horse Car.

'Tn 1881" !" said John Stephenson, the
veteran builder of horse cars, 81 designed
and built the first tram-car of the first
railway for street service in this country
or abroad. This car consisted of three
separated compartments, each compart-
ment holding ten persons and being
entered by separate doors, on the side,
from guard rail. Seats were provided
on top of the car for thirty more persons.
The car was very much like the English
railway coach, though it was set consid-
erably lower. 1t was hauled by team
of horses, the conductor remaining out
side ON the rail, rain or shine. The
company for which it was built was
called the New York and Harlem road,
running from Prince street, on the Bow
cry, along the line of the Bowery to
Fourteenth street, thence along the
line of the present Fourth avenue to
Yorkville and Harlem. Fourth ave
nue. at that time had not been
opened, but the line had been
surveyed in 1910. The fare paid
varied with the distance, being sixpence
or six and one-quarter cents from Prince
street to Fourteenth street, sixpence
more to point where Forty-second street
now runs across Fourth avenue, sixpence
more to Yorkville, and twenty-five cents
to Harlem. These fares were paid in the
silver of the old Spanish currency then
prevalent. In time the through fare was
reduced to eighteenpence, and then to
twelve. But the road did not succeed.
In 1887, after six years of construction,
it temporarily gave way to the steam cars.
In 1845, however, it resumed working
under its charter, which had not been
given up, and which. by the way, is the
charter under which the present Fourth
avenue horse-car line is operated
'In that year, 1845, the cars were re-
modelled nearly to their present style,
the great feature being the adoption of
end platforms and entrances. No other
horse-car line was built till 1852, when
at about the same time charters VIZ e
granted for the Second, Third, Sixth
and Eighth avenue lines. Outside of
New York in this country, Boston first
adopted the system in 1856, Philadelphia
following in 1867, after which it spread
over the country. New Orleans, in 1861,
was the first to adopt the small car, or,
as it is called, the bob-tail car. And I
should like to say just here that out Of
the 428 horse car lines now existing in
the United States, 279 use the small cars
only, the remaining 149 having the con-
ductor cars. ."-Nel0 York Tribune.

Mrs. Lanut.y V a, Home.


Writing about Mrs. Langtry, the Eng
lish professional beauty and actress. W.
A. Croffut says in one of his New York
letters: 1 don't know as she will think it
worth while to be naturalized, because it
wouldn't carry the right to vote; but she
has gone to housekeeping here permanent
ly, and has settled down as New Yorker
for good and all. She has bought a
pretty little house-a dainty maisonette
on West Thirteenth street, close to
Macy's, near Sixth avenue; not in very
fashionable or expensive locality, but
well enough, and her residence will
henceforth alternate between here and
her London house IN Dover street, Picca-
dilly. Beside the other servants, her es-
tablishment consists of an accomplished
French cook, Velour, of Paris; a
butler, six feet two inches,
and coachman and foot
man in livery of white cloth with real
sable capes and cuffs. I do not know
how many carriages there sre, but have
seen three or four. Her personal maid,
or file de chambre, has been in the
Duchess of Buccleuch's service lately.
Mrs. Langtry is furnishing her pretty
house tastefully and luxuriously, but,
withal, in home-like and comfortable
style. About the first thing one notices
on entering is several mosque rugs from
Arabia, sent to her by the khedive Of
Egypt. These are, in value, well-nigh
priceless, as they were brought from
Mecca to the khedive during the last pill
grimage Of the sacred carpet from Cairo.
This carpet goes out every year to be
blessed, and is accompanied by vast
throng of 100, 600 or 200, 900 of the faith
full. The attention Of the visitor at Mrs.
Langtry's is also attracted by the fine and
very rare oak carvings on the walls and
stands. Among these is famous fifteenth
century cabinet by Verbrugen of Ant
werp, the great sculptor, whose work so
enriches the St. GuduIe Cathedral Of
Brussels. l believe the wonderfully
elaborate-carved pulpit which l saw last
summer in the old kirk at Amsterdam
was also fashioned by him. The tea ser
vice of Mrs. Langtry is very choice, and
includes marvellous collection of china
perfect bits of blue, in pattern ranging
from Wedgewood to willow. Her dinner
service is decorated with designs by
Millais and there is handsome teapot Of
solid silver of old English pattern, given
to her by her company on Christmas day,
and bearing the inscription: Presented
to Lillian Langtry by her loving and
loyal company, Christmas, 1888. " Mrs.
Langtry's preferences at table are for
solid food rather than tribes. Mrs.
Langtrys mother is with her now--Mrs.
lie Breton. the handsome wife Of the
Dean of Jersey.

Under Adverse Circumstances.

The death of Jean Trottet, of Geneva,
Switzerland, recalls man of an energy
and courage which have seldom been sur
passed. He was born without legs,
hands or feet, yet he learned to write,
fastening his pen at his elbow, and when
he grew older became an active hay
maker, used the reins with dexterity,
and was SO good shot that he often car
ried off the village prizes for mark firing.
He was independent and sagacious, and
has left widow and four children amply
provided for. Tempting offers were made
to his parents, and later to himself, by
showmen, but were invariably declined.

in this wise: | was brought up in

Whereupon my grandfather said You
may give me back the money, William
