NEUTRAL OBLIGATIONS.

The current rumors respecting the purchase
of an American steamer by agents of Hyppolite
are neither confirmed nor denied by the ship
broker responsible for the sale of the vessel
The Madrid is preparing to sail from this port
to New Orleans, where she is expected to clear
for the West Indies. The report that the YES
sci is to be used by the insurgents in Hayti for
hostile operations against the Legitime Govern
ment seems hardly credible. The Madrid is an
old tramp steamer which has been employed
for many years in the fruit trade, and is OBJ
viously too slow to serve the purposes of pri-
Watering or flibustering. No possible use
could be made of her in offensive operations
against the Haytian gunboats and it seems in
credible that Hyppolites agents should have
purchased her for facilitating the shipment Of
arms and men to the insurgent provinces.
Neutral obligations require, however that the
Government should exercise due diligence and
keep watch of the steamer while she remains
in an American port.
As the Legitime Government in Hayd can
not be credited with the possession of COM
merce, it would be absurd to regard the Madrid
in the light of a possible commerce destroyer.
II Hyppolite contemplates making any use Of
her, the operation would naturally take tho
more familiar West Indian form of filibuster-
ing. Now the Legitime Government is not
only officially represented in the United States
and in possession of the capital of Hayti but. it
has recently been formally recognized by Ad-
miral Luce, and its flag has been repeatedly
honored with naval salutes. The United States
is at peace with that Government, as the gall
liant Admiral took pains to demonstrate rather
effusively after the Haytien Republic had been
towed out Of harbor. American ports cannot
be made the base OF operations against that
Government, which is now suppressing do
mestio rebellion. Under the neutrality laws

CLARK UNIVERSITY.

When it was first announced that gentle
man of great wealth and public spirit had set
apart magnificent sum of money for the
foundation of a new university in Worcester,
Mass a disposition to critcise the project OF
Mr.. Clark while applauding his motive, was
generally manifested by New-England edu-
Gators. II was said by many of them that,
whatever the requirements OF other parts OF
the country might be- there was certainly no
need of another great educational foundation
within a hundred miles Of Harvard, Yale.

learning which are doing good work with linn
tied means almost within speaking distance
Of each other. Whether or not MIR. Clark S
views and intentions were modified by con-
sideration Of this argument is not known to us,
but the fact has lately been disclosed that in
its scope and purpose the new university which
is soon to be is radically different from the
colleges by which il will be surrounded; and
the early criticisms, which not infrequently
took on the tone and color of complaints, have
given place TO a universal sentiment of graft
tude and appreciation.

of students who have learned elsewhere IN

lie and have acquired that love and capacity
for patient investigation without which SOUND
learning is unattainable and the pursuit of it
waste of time. In the varied arguments on
all sides of the large and small college question

expression of hostility to such a foundation as
that which is now being laid in Worcester.

The decision OF the Clinton Hall Association TO
construct new and splendid building for the
Mercantile Library upon tie present site in Aston
Place Is somewhat unexpected. There had been
freouent intimations that the Library would soon
follow the upward current, and build not far from
Thrty.fo urth-sp and Broadway OF late, how
ever. IL has become apparent that the section in
the centre Of which the Library now stands will
he the home of large proportion of the book
making and boosseling trade of this city. Broad
way in this neighborLood, Astor Place and La
favette Place are already largely occupied by
publishers booksellers, magazines and periodicals,
printers, and all branches Of the book industry
The presence Of the two chief Libraries OF the
citv. the Astor and the Mercantile, has undoubtedly
been instrumental in giving this character to the
ouarter and will preserve it. The section is
central. and has excellent means Of communica-
rion with other parts of the city. When we get
real rapid transit, too the need of being uptown
will not be SO important. The Clinton Hall
Association has apparently made a wise decision.

A PLUMBERS QUEER STORY.
Why All thesCeiling Fell Down in a Fifth
Aran..n Mammalian

Why All the.Ceiling Fell Down in a Fifth
Avenue Mansion.
"a good Zeal of fun is made of plumb
ers," said John H. Connolly, the we'll
known plumbing expert of New York.
."sWe are the butt of all the humorists in
the country, and are credited with more
diamonds than those decorating the per
son of the Queen of Sheba. However we
come across some funny experiences in
the course of our business, and one of
these occurred to me the other day. A
Fifth avenue millionaire customer of
mine came running around in great agita-
ton, saying that there was something the
matter with the plumbing in his house,
that the ceiling and walls were dropping
off, and that the whole house was mum
dated by a flood. I sentithree of my best
men around there in a hurry, and they
found that all the exposed lead pipe in the
building had been cut away and taken
from the premises. The damage was re-
paired at a cost of $1,000.
IAN investigation into the facts of the
case showed that the owner had been alb
sent for some time and that he had left the
house In the care of the hOusekeeper. She
had harbored a young relative who by
prodigal living had exhausted all his
money. In order to fill his empty pocket
book he had cut away all the lead pipe in
the house as far as he could reach into
the walls and sold it for two cents a
pound. OF course when the water was
turned on the waters fell and the flood
came, and the plaster was loosened and
there was the dickens to pay generally.
The young rascal ran away and has not
been heard from since. "-EUening Sun.
