The published statement that tho streets OF
BROOKLYN were kept cleaner last year than ever
before does not mean that they were not hlthy last
year, but that their condition in previous years
was unutteraby vile. And yet the lay OF the
landp is such that Brooklyn should be one OF the
,Ioorcst and heaIthest cities in the world

1t is good thing to keep the water from

are warned by the burning of their Music Hall

the loss of these buildings, and, indirectly, the

,sThc first of May is likely to witness many changes
in the church chors of this city and brooklyn. Tie
churches are usually among the first to feel hard
times and the recent business depression has
brought the question Of economy home to many OF
them in n very practical way. In such cases the
pasor is likely to suffer unless he is strongly in-
trenched in the affections of the peoples then tie
p,usc committees begin to look up to the choir
gallery and wonder if the church could not get
along with cheaper music. The tendency in recent
wears has been in the direction of hghprced music,
and there is no donbt that in some instances this
tendency has reached extraordinary lengths, 30
that the idea of music an act of worship has been
practically lost sight of. If the hard times should
hiring homo to such churches the truth that snowy
musc is not actually necessary. the loss of their
birh-prced chors would be u beneficial thing.

The somewhat uninteresting proceedings of
the trial of James d. Fish were enliyened yes
terday by request for the testimony of Cen
eral Grant. 1t has been said in some quarters
that the General is convinced that the
people held him responsible for much
of the wrongdoing in the FISH Ward
transactions. This can hardly be true, for the
press of the country has abounded with ex-
pressions of belief in his entire ignorance of
any irregularities. All the same, it was doubt
less a relief to General Grant yesterday to
make clear his innocence in the matter. The
publication of what he said will be awaited
with interest but it certainly was not needed
In the Generals own defense.

Even if affairs on the Russian frontier did
not absorb the attention of London, the Eng

ing around Suakim turns out to have been use
less. The positions which the English have
won at so great cost within the last few days
are of no particular advantage. and Hasheen

like these would throw the British public into

Germany will be found most instructive. 1t
explains fully the adjustment of the recent dlf-
ferences between Lord Granville and Prince
Bismarck and shows that friendly relations be-
tween Berlin and London have been re-estab
lished. This has not been entirely clear here
tofore. The Importance of the information, of
course, is its bearing upon the situation on the
Afghan frontier That Bismarck desires peace

says that st. Petersburg must give way. give

One OF j. II. Thomas agents was the vic
tim of pretty neat joke yesterday afternoon
In the Arcade Hotel Office. There were about
fifteen of the agents sitting around large
table talking over their experiences ION the
road, when one of them walked over from
tbe cigar stand and handed one OF the fell
-fows in the crowd a cigar, at the same time
winking at the rest of the crowd to keep still.
The recipient of the "smoker" liz his cigar and
commenced talking. Presently the Office be-
came filed with an odor that would make a
glue-factory blush The smoker took the ci-
gar from his mouth and shook the ashes off
it, when about six teeth OF a small pocket
comb fell out. Then was the time tor the
noise, and such yelling and screeching is
seldom heard outside OF pack of drummers
There was a general movement then for the
cigar stand, and just fifteen OF the jolliest set
OF men on earth called for a Henry Clay.
There was one fellow there who had laugh

or, both as the greatest commander Of his
time, and as the first citizen Of the mightiest
republic on earth. lie became the most emi-
nent man in the world.
Once more engaged In the business pur-
suits Of private life. General Grant exper-
enced . reverse Of that prosperity which had
80 long attended his public life, caused by
the perfidy and crime Of those who in the
money mart Of the great metropolis had the
standing which secured the confidence and
respect Of men OF worth. He was
plunged into the deepest humiliation
and chagrin. Closely following this
dreadful blow, 1t was decreed by an inscrut-
able Providence, that msligant disease
should at last attack and destroy his IRON
constitution, terminating, after months OF
excruciAting suffering, his noble life, ere yet
1t WAS touched by the winter Of age. He
met II all With . hero SUI that WAS sublime,
because marked with the spirit of christian.
But these sad features OF his declining lie,
were 10 q measure compensated by what has
been accorded TO few, il any gres, public
characters while living, namely the universal
esteem and love manifested for him by his
countrymen and by people Of all na-
tions. The congress Of the United
States restored him to the rank and pay Of
General, on the retired list, In obedience to
the undivided sentiments OF the people, The
depths Of his aiiiicton drew all men unto
him, and when at the last solemn hour his
spirit ascendtd from the top OF the

Resolved That we, in common with the
peor.e Of the whole nation, unite thi, hour, in
an expression Of profound grief at the dispen-
sa,ion which has removed General Ulysses s.
Grant from earth, and sent sorrow through
out all civilized lands. But we
most devoutly, reverently and sub.
missively recognize this dispensation
as coming from the same source OF Infinite
wisdom, power. goodness and mercy, which
raised up our great chleftnin, at the propitious
hour, 10 he the savior Of our national life.
Resolved, That the beIeaved widow and
