Some time ago the NewYork Aldermen took
upon themselves the responsibility OF blottn5 out
the ancient, historic and honorable name OF Chat-
ham-st., and substituting for it commonplace FarH
Row. Strange as it may seem, there are some
people in the city who do not think the Aldermen
showed the best of judgment in their action: ana
so We have a suggestion for the eleven glnmin
keepers and other persons who make up our
Common Council Why not blot cut Par< Row
now and substitute therefor Paddy Diyver-ave''
You have the power Why hesitate to honor
feow-citizcn in this conspicuous manner? lhefe

The correspondence between Attorney Zen
eral Tabor and Senator lliScock discloseS the
gratifying fact that a bill has already been IN
troduced in the Senate to amend the section OF
the Revised Statutes of the United States winch
permits a score or more of appeals in the case
of every convicted murderer. 1t certainly
never was the intention of Congress to abolish
the death penalty in this indirect way. Inc

Since the departure of Amelie RiveS-
Chanler from this country almost lmmed-
lately after her marriage, We have had only
brief newspaper paragraphs concerning her
life and literary intentions. Not little
curiosity has been displayed as TO the pos
Sibility of her complete withdrawal from
the field of letters. 1t is now nearly three
years since any thing of Importance has ap-
peared from her pen. but no one has oelleNed
that the exceptionally brilliant author OF
"A Brother TO Dragons had finished her
career as Il writer. \ recent paragraph in
the daily papers announced the fact that
Mrs RIVeS-C -Chanlcr was hard at wOIk upon
"A new novel destined TO arouse the entire
literary world by its artistic merit and
bold originality. There have been many
conjecturcS advanced as To the probable
source through which the new novel would
be given to the public. Notwithstanding
the high prices which Mrs. Chanltr de-
mandS for her manuscripts. il was known
that many publishers were in the field in
competition for her latest work. While
many rumOTS were atloat. the COsmOpON-
tan MdgUziuc had quietly secured 1t and
placed in the hands of a famous Paris artist
for illustration. 1t i announced now that
the first chapters will appear in the August
number of the Cosmopolitan. and that. in
the estimation of critics who are most COM
petent To judge. this last story Will be the
most finished aS well aS interesting. product
of this versatile Southern pen. The story
is likely To be the literary sensation of the
year. Its publication in the Cosmopolitan
is Il guarantee that il will contain nothing
of the kind that excited criticism in Amelie
