shifting City Populations.
Prof. CHARLES Blot Norton

The Improvement of our cities is
due largely to the facts that q compare
lively small part of their Inhabitants are
but temporary residents In them, and
that Uf their permanent residents the
greater part have in the course OF life
time changed their abodes. The sense
in the individual of responsibility for
the good OF the community Is, weakened
by the constant shifting aud alteration
Of It's members. A man naturally takes
less interest in the affairs ',at concern
the welfare Of Imperative strangers
than in those which affect his friends;
and naturally cares less for the welfare
of community of which he = tran
sjent member than of one TO which he Is
bound for life, and with whose past and
future he Ia united by indissolabe ties
New York is. a city OF strangers to each
other, without common traditions or con
trolling common interests. So vast an
aggregation OF friends with 80 few Of
the elements Of true community has
never before been seen. In such a city
the social sentiment Is feeble, and its
part is largely taken by the mere sense
of the necessity OF maintaining the IN
st!tutions requisite for the defense Gt
material lHterest1. Civic pside, one Of
che most powerful motives in the history
of the progress of civilization, has lost
its force among us.

malice toward none. charity towsrd'-both
and was quite successful in manipulating the
"two strings to her bow" In the course of the
evening she produced pair Of handouts and
playfully put them on the hands of the young
men and they found themselves bound tightly
together. After enjoying their plight for a
time the young lady attempted to take the irons
of, but they had locked with spring and she
had no key. They were forced to bid the
young lady adieu simultaneously at IL o'clock,
and 1t was suggested that the police might part
them. Each pulled a sleeve down close over
the bound hand and they started. At the cor
ner of 9th and n streets they found Officer
kendig, and timidly approaching him one said:
Mister, will you please show us the way to
the second precinct station?" This was done
and Sergeant Duvall was appealed TO, but he
could find no key to release them. They were
then directed to police headquarters, where by
the good offices of Sergeant Perry they were
