The movement recently set on foot to pre-
alley ways Of the city is one that ought to sue
coed, and those now so occupied should be re-
stored to the proper uses for which they were
originally intended, if such restoration be pos
sible. Manifestly they were intended, in the
economy Of city and town life, for the erection
Of stables, carriage-houses, and other out
buildings connected with the residence in front,
and when devoted to any other purpose they
are pretty sure to become nuisances in greater
or less degree. From the nature of things,
dwelling houses erected in these localities must
be Of an inferior order, and they are almost
sure to become harboring places for undesira-
BILE II not dangerous tenants, the inevitable re-
suit being TO depreciste the value of property
In the neighborhood, and to make less attrae-
tive all the surroundings of the immediate
locality. No argument on these points is
needed. Every reader will be able to recall at
once half dozen places which meet all the
conditions herein referred to. Not only are
they noisy, and highly Objectionable ON that
ground, but they are the permanent abodes Of
filth and immortality, and therefore sure to be
the hot beds where both disease and crime are
bred. II the city ever suffers from a fatal cpl
demic, such as yellow fever or cholera, the
scourge will be found to have had its starting
place and spreading point in these thickly pop
ulated and unwholesome localities, which some
way or other, under existing conditions, seem
to be largely beyond the control of both the
police md health authorities

The statement that the Attorney for the Dis
trict ''has discovered that there is no law pun
ishing persons who allow their cellars and
premises to be covered with foul and stagnant
water recalls the circumstance that once upon
a time the announcement was made that there
was no law in force in the District prohibiting
the blowing of oyster horns and making that
kind of noise on the streets. One citizen, how
ever. who had been seriously annoyed by the
nuisance, of which he had frequently made
complaint, without securing a remedy, con-
ceived the idea that preventive law could
possibly be found if sufficient search we're
made, under proper provocation. Accordingly
he hired a number of hoodlums to blow oyster
horns, whistles, and other similar ear-splitting
devices for some time, at varying intervals.
before the residence of the near-sighted law
officer, who thereupon discovered that there
did happen to be on the statute books law
under which that particular nuisance could be
suppressed, and the same was forthwith
abated for time at least, and in that imme-
diate neighborhood.
AoraL-well, almost anybody can see the
moral.

Judas and His Master.

NJ. D. Conway in North American Review.
Disraeli's championship OF Judas,
as a self sacrificing disciple willing to
be accursed through all time in order
to complete conditions necessary for
human salvation, remains q monu-
ment Of his audacity and Christian
lied cynicism. His remorseless logic.
however, has long been felt. Various
theories have sought to vindicate the
divine purity from the appearance OF
having prearranged and required such
baseness and treason for it's ends.
These are signs of the advancing
ethical spirit which is humanizing
Christianity. The enthroned Christ
seems to be laying aside the crown
once more, and becoming a plain
workman. His human life, sympa-
thy, radicalism, are dweit on. AS
Jesus has been %reinvested with HUI
mainly, so may the diabolized figure
of Judas; the same humanity includes
him and the teacher he is said to have
betrayed. An artist once painted a
lovely child as an infant Jesus. Twen-
ty years later, having to paint the
"Last Supper" he found q model for
his Judas in an imprisoned murderer.
As he scrutinized the face ofhis Judas
it grew familiar, and he ultimately
found that his Jesus and Judas repre-.
sented the childhood and manhood oil
the same person.
