From Boston comes mOurnlul tale of fair
but false credentials, OF ill-rcquitcd hospitality.
Of money eagerly loaned and hopc,r sly lost, of
envy. rage, CONSERVATION and despair The
victims are many and all the talents are on
the list. social instinct, critical omnl>ciencc
and the conservatism OF hereditary atlucncc
have alike been baAlcd by slender and mcliiiu-
Gus NluScOyitc with soulful eyes and damp

the world calls Boston have been taken captive
by a bogus Count. whose name was 50 long that

nor stopped to ask how it happened that his
bank account was shorter still. Never was 50

4 few weeks ago The Tribune called attention
10 what we believed was an unprecedented thing
in the history of jursprudence-thc fact, namely
that in one of our police courts a judicial de-
cision had been rendered TO the effect that an
umbrella is Property, and that person who
abstracts one Of these elusive articles of personal
furniture is liable to be arrested, arraigncd ana
punished for petit larceny. Up to this time inc
umbrella has been regarded as the most I'M
certain thing that the genus homo could lay
claim to. But this position is challenged by the
claim made by a popular actress that certain
nose which She assumed when being photographed
is all her own and that other actress or photog
raphcr has any right to appropriate SAID pose
When this case comes to trial, the proceedings
will be observed with much interest. \ ques-
ton that naturally occurs TO the mind is VIII

The action of the United States in officially
recognizing the new Republic of Brazil appears
to have given much satisfaction at Paris. where
it is regarded as paving the way to the adoption
of similar course by tho Governments of
Europe Frances relations with Brazil are
cordial and friendly, and according to a Paris
letter, published to-day, her official sanction
is only delayed by the necessity Of President
Carnot's Administration proceeding in accord
with the other Governments Of Europe in such
matters.

Just WHY the boys Of Ncw-lork and its
vicinity as often as the night Of election day
comes round, are possessed with an uncomfortable
desire 10 kindlc boniTes has never yet been

ENGLISH custom of celebrating the anniversary oil

Der ) by means of bonhrcS and the like our
election day always falling near, and every FEW
years exactly upon. that date. Any way the
custom is well established. and il has given rise

Wynnc laid a claim for SSH damages before the
Aldermen recently. and demanded payment OF

10 a committee and the decision has been reached
that the claim cannot be paid ont of any APP
propriation and that Mrs. Wynnc, in order to OBJ
tain what size seeks. must bring suit AGAINST

The death of Mr. John Jacob AsOr will not
leave large void in the actual life Of New
York, for he has always. and especially since
the death Of his noble wife preferred to be in
conspicuous so far as that condition was pos
sible. But the sudden removal of the head
OF family which Las been 50 closely identified
for so many generations with the growth Of the
city, and has, in fact, represented to so great
ali extent its visible expansion, is an occurrence
OF unusual import. 1t Will revive host Of
traditions concerning the early days of the me
tropoiS, recall grateful sense of numberless
and great benefactionS associated with an hon
ored name. and bring sincere mourning into
many households.

that lligh-License and Local-Option League

should try the novel experiment OF treating its
negro population with justice, is evidently des-
dned 10 be the keynote of much discussion of
the race problem. In two important public
orations yesterday this idea was put forward
In various lights. Mr. Cable, addressing the
Massachusetts Club at Boston, argued that the
white men of the South have never yet given
the negroes fair chance to prove their desire
for pure government. and that the white men
themselves have miserably failed to make and
