NOTHING BTT REWINISCENCE.

Clio, the Muse OF History, in her sarcastic
moods. is a dsagrecable old woman neverthe-
less when we apply modern instances to her
conduct. she is an interesting, young, though
giddy, creature.
This is 1890. Twenty years ago 1t was only
1870. And in this city on the bench OF the
Superior Court was certain Judge McCunn
who INDUCED in the Justification of records.
He was highly respectable and very religious
old man. but he had the habit of obliglng his
friends. out of good nature. or between drinks
or to maintain his political status with the
powers that were then. But his offence was
made public he was impeached he was con-
victed and he had the dcccncy to go off into
oblivion and die OF broken heart.
There was a Sheriff in those days-twcnty
wears ago-named Brennan, and he had a
Warden in Ludlow Street Jail who had come
down to him from former administration rs
a political legacy 10 be taken care Of. lie had
also a Deputy sheriff named Jarvis who made

abuses. and a general jail delivery followed
subsequently the deputy escaped Indictment
through the Offices of the reporter, but the
sheriff himself was sent to be confined III MS
own prison under the charge OF his own war
den and like a gentleman. he died OF chagnn
and the disgrace of his confinement.
There was in those dayS-twenty years ago
q gallant Young Mayor named \. Oakley Hall,
of militant attainmcntS and hlavado bearing
fond of horses and fast driving but of very
bad temper. who occasionally called his OPP
moments liars and accused them of various vul-
gar acts. He was indicted. and went through
an unpleasant experience during two trIalS
from which he emerged with shattered health
and he ha, since been Il voluntary exile from

the storm blew over.
And there WAS also n great big man who

from the pa vement blew up in his eyes ana nearly
blinded him, and that then and there, amid the
flying cloud, with his eyes closed LOOMS swore
an oath which melted a letter-boX that he would
dedicate the rest of his life to the fighting OF
dirt. The supcrstitious whispered that he was
more than human: said he was
giant in stature, and made the East
Chester earth trcmble when he Walked
and that he would come down some night single
handed and alone and sweep the very paving
stones into the frightened North River. Others
suspected him n wizard, Michael Scott sort of
man, who would sit in his spc-guarded castle up
at the hcadwaters of the Bronx River and sweep
the streets Of New-York with fire and birthstone.
Indeed we were told much OF the new appliances
which LOOMS the Admirable would bring to bear
on the streets. There were dark hints of engines
like the new rotary snow ploughs, which would
sweep up the dirt and pour it out in great
stream like water from a steam fire-engine. Again
we were told that he would brush the dirt from
the streets into the avenues, and then with one
grand rush sweep it down to the Battery and
load it into great gun, which would shoot it
through the helpless atmosphere out over Coney
Island and halfway across the Gulf Stream.
The paving stones would he worn down half an
inch every night after LOOMS got nicely started.
If man threw cancelled postage stamp in
Mulberry-st he would get ten years in Sing Sing.
Many night during the last two months have
curious New York householdcrs risen and cautiously
drawn aside the curtains and pccred out thinking
10 see strange, gobin-cndcd engine sweeping
down the street. reaching from curb to curb, and
throwing out weird flashes of fire and polishing
the granite blocks till the morning mlkman slipped
up and cxtingushed the Pickering gasamps with
the flying contents Of his can.
But did none Of these things ever happen the
stranger asks. No, none Of them. Then LOOMS
never applied his hand? LOOMS never did.
NEWCOMERS are here yet. and, as it were fiat on
their backs, with the accumulated dirt of years
gradually drifting over them. LOOMS has gone
South by way of the Ncw-lorll Central and llud-
son River and Rome. Watcrtown and Ogdcnsburg

Lieutenant-G overnor Jones's action in adj
iourning the Senate abruptly on Friday was
subjected to review when that body met last
night. Mr.. Jones undertook to Justify his con
duct by saying that his action was dictated
by desire to impress on the people the fact
that the Senators were ncglecting their duty.
As thirteen of them were in their seats on Fri
day ready to do business, and as several others
had been excused in order to conduct inycstiga-
tons in this city, Mr.. Jones's explanation is
painfully flimsy. However, he admitted that
he had exceeded his authority and promised
