Window Washers Perils,

The primitive plan Of washing win
dows by sitting on the sill to clean the
outer sesh killed one woman, who
fell backwards into the street. It
is always a marvel, seeing this peril.
GUS plan for cleaning upper windows,
that more of such unaccustomed
gymnasts do not loose their balance,
and, with it, their lives. Nothing
can save them when they once topple
over, because their hands are other
wise employed than in holding on.
A fashion OF sash that hinges. in
stead of being raised by weights and
pulleys, is Q desideratum. There are
CONTINGENCIES for this purpose, but it
will probably take q number Of
funerals before house builders and
house owners conclude to adopt
them. Even when the window wash.
er does not fall out backward, the
strain upon nerves and muscles is
most injurious by this bad old plan.

Or Abssndine Good Xaturs,
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Even as Sir Edwin Arnold praises
Us, he reminds us ofsome of our
short comings. He is good enough
to express delight with our country
in q general way, and of many ofour
institutions in special way. But
even in the flower OF flattcry there
Turks the nettle of criticism. 81 have
noticed" Sir Edward snys to n re-
porter (who calls him, with q rare
mixture Of respect and democratic
indifference, "Sir Edwin" in one
breath and "Mr. Arnold" in the next),
81 nave noticed the absence of re.
striction on the number of passen-
gers in horse-cars. In London crowd
ing of these street vehicles isprevent-
ed by regulation, yet here as many
get in us wish. A certain degree of
Inconvenience is the natural result,
yet l have observed that the people
bear the Inconvenience with thegreat-
est good humor. Indeed, good hum
or and kindly feeling are what have
found manifested everywhere byyour
people. 1t may he that Americans
arc little more brusque and curt in
their speech than the English-a DIFF
ference noticeable in railway porters,
horse-car conductors, and especially
hotel clerks-yet there is behind itall
a hartiness and real effort to be kind
and obliging which soon mike one
forget that there is any difference at
all." This is very neat, indeed, and
honestly magnanimous. 1t is not
really to our credit that we endure
horrible overcrowding in street-cars,
and submit patiently to be bumped
over railroad tracks and herded and
driven like cattle in railroad stations,
with es little respect for our comfort
and safety as is commonly given to
cattle. 1t is not to our credit that
we submit patiently to the scornful
impoliteness of railway servants and
the contumely ofhotel clerks. But
Sir Edwin kindly set down all this
cowardly submissiveness to the cred
it of our Astounding good-nature,
which is certainly very kind of him.

BROOKLYN N. Y, spccial.-The Rev. T..
Dewitt Talmage preached his first sermon
