Hotels and Housekeeninp.

The other day I heard a prominent
merchant say that the building of so
many elegant hotels uptown would lead
trade to follow them, and that the day
was not far distant when Fifth avenue.
below the Cathedral, must be given ND
wholly to stores and club houses. 1t was
with this thought in mind that I went
into the Plaza hotel and looked at it's
parlors and dining rooms, its cafe and
restaurant. While wandering about 1
came to the conclusion that American
women are fast becoming, indeed that
they have already become, indolent.
The new hotels afford beautiful resi-
dences for people who can pay for the
high cost of living in them-the man
agement at the same time taking upon
itself all the cares of housekeeping.
Fashionable women, as a rule, detest
housekeeping, for it interferes with their
society duties, and I thought, while re-
fecting upon this subject, that the time
may soon come when there will be hotel
cliques composed of rich families that
belong to the same set. Such family
hotels will have no transient custom, but
will be constructed solely with the view
OF meeting the needs of rich, INDECENT
women, with a ballroom and private
dining rooms at their disposal. In such
a hotel a family could maintain a pri-
vate establishment and pay only one
bill-the landlord's-for which individ-
ual, by the by, society may yet invent a
more elegant title.-Epoch.

Bottom Facts,

"That court house of yours is a credit

BROKEN FLIGHT.

Isaw q bird, Light winged. gay,
Leap from the earth in circling fight,
! saw it cut the clouds Of gray
And dart into the drifts Of light.
And II envied and I yearned,
Like it, to break the bars of fate
While fierce the fame Of longing burned
To do and dare-but not to wait.
Isaw a bird beneath m y.feet,
Laid in the dust with broken wing.
All hushed the minstrel music sweet
A crushed and wounded, dying thing.
All, me! not those who cleave the sky
Are safest when the storm gods jeer-
Not those who fret and fume to fly
Are always fitted for that sphere.
All, well that DER our judgment weak
A heart OF mercy throbS for all
To hold from us TIE hurt we seek.
And, plying, note a sparrow's fall.

ALBANY, Aug. l9.-The blockade has not
improved 70 any extent since the first day
Of the strike. The men engaged by the
railroad are incompetent, and over fifty Of
them left work on Monday, claiming that
they were brought here through misrepre-
seniation. Furthermore, the road is run-
ning empty cars backward and forward
tarougn the city, so as to give the impress
sion that they are trafticking. In reply to
question as to whether the road counte-
nanced the shooting down Of the citizens Of
Albany by the hirclings Of the detective
agency, Superintendent Bissell said
I'VE have hired Mr.. Pinkerton and his
men 20 guard the property OF the road and
the lives OF the employees. We have left
the matter in his hands as an experienced
msn, but we certainly do not countenance
the uS Of firearms, except where self pro-
tec;ion demands It. When Chief OF Police
Willard notified me that citizens lives
wsse endangered by the reckless use Of
firearms, ! sent for Mr.. Pinkerton, and, ia
answer to my demands for an explanation,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Through Mr..
Maish (Pa.) the Democratic menlners Of
the house committee on elections have filed
a minority report in the contested election
case OF Clifton r. Breckinridra W..
John NJ. Clayton from the Second district.
OF Arkansas.
The report admits the stealing OF the
ballot box from Plummerville precinct on
which the contest hinged, but it is held
that this did not change the result. The
report says;
The Subcommittee Scored.
1T is far short of the truth TO say that
this investigation has been a miserable
farce and that the majority report is un-
founded on truth, not justified by the evi-
dence and is defaced by the repetition of
partisan ISLANDERS not sustained by auy
testimony. Never has a great question
been so wretchedly, so feebly and SO un-
justly, SO scandalously treated and iu-
dicated, but passion under injury and
wrong is not the mode of redress, and if
the house puts the seal of approval on the
report and recommendations of the com
mittee, then we appeal to the people 10 re-
buke and right it by their votes.
