II there be any citizen Of Ncw-York who has
not within the last year or TWO made an early
morning visit TO Central Park, he Is earnestly 10
he advised 10 do 80 NJ his frs; opportunity. Espc-
cally at this season the early morning Is Of all
times the most delightful for such n visit. The
air is fresh and fragrant. The sward seems a
purer green and the wisteria blooms n richer
purple, and the humble dandelon more like re-
fined gold, than in the more garish light Of mid
day The songs OF The birds are AT their best.
and even at the very borders Of the Park are
not yet dcadcned by the rising roar of the great
city Earth and air, fora and fauna. unite TO
bcst0w an exhilaration which no matutinal cock
tail can rival and no midday stimulation replace.
He who never visits the Park at that hour never
sees the Park at It's best; and he who does not
do so often loses from his life what should be
some OF it's most joyous experiences.
But such a visit. If now made for the first time
in year or two will be fruitful Of bewllderlDg
revelations. The Park VIII lot be found desert
ed. save by an occasional wanderer. On the
contrary. its drvcways are literally throngcd
with whcelInen and wheclwomcn. and wheel
children. TOO. The rays Of the rising sun flash
upon almost as many nickeed spOkes as drops
Of dew, and the silvery tinkle and clink Of bells
wellnigh rival the songs Of the birds In number
and profusicn There are 'all sorts and cOndi-
tons Of men" in the unceasing procession, save
only those sorts which are most pleasing In
their absence The noisy hoodlIm, the vicious
scorcher, and the rest who bring discrcdt upon
cycling and upon manhood itself, are not there
Later in the day Is their time Of perniciOus
activity. But there the lovers OF Nature,
and lovers Of rational exercise, and lovers OF
early rising for IT'S own sake. There are those
whose busy cares permit no other opportunity
for cycling than this. There are old men and
matrons. and young men and madens. and now
and then n whole family, awhecl-father mother
and half dozen children of graduated ages
and sizes. II the procession Is not as numerous
as that on the Boulevard on holiday afternoon
or evening. II az any rate has an air Of greater
pleasure. There are no bicycle faces" no

life invests each rider, and makes the scene.
even to the non-rding spectator one of pure
delight.
| How great a social and hygienic revolution is
indicated by such n scene one must hesitate TO
say. OF these multitudes who thus throng the
| Park between daybreak and breakfast II Is prob-
able that scarcely 1.-THE could afford 10 60 ont

There Is not likely &c be war over 1t between
Servia and the Dual Empire and the riots

Bulgaria. Hitherto. for natural reasons. rela-
tlons between Seivia and Austria Hungary have
been very close. The bulk Of Servian trade has
been with the Dual Empire. and Austrian money

The death of Fire Chief Shaw yesterday from
the effects of the injuries which he sustained
in responding TO an alarm on the previous night
constitutes notable addition TO that long list
of brave men who have sacrificed their lives
in their efforts to protect the people of New-lork
from fire He had met with many injuries IN
fighting confiagrations before he received those
which resulted in his death, and had succeeded
Chief John Bresnan, who was likewise killed
while directing the operations Of his men AT a
fire There are no more deserving servants OF
the pubic than our gallant fire laddies whose
courage and heroism in combating the flames
are fully equal, if not superior to those displayed
by soldiers on the battlefield; and 1t Is not sur
prlsing. therefore, that the death of Chief shaw
should excite a widespread feeling of sorrow
in our city.

Of the removal of the s32,000,000 Of gold coin

order to appreciate the magnitude Of the task
and the responsibility involved by the transfer
of all this specie from the vaults of the Mer-

until now, it Is only necessary to mention that
the weight OF the bullion amounted to sixty -four
tons. that II was carted from one building 10 an
other in a single one-horse truck. 100000 TO
each load, and that for obvious causes 1t was
imperative to complete the removal without at
tracing any undesirable attention. SO cleverly
was the whole affair managed by the Clearing
House authorities that, although the work Of
removal lasted from April 80 until yesterday.
the public remained in happy ignorance Of the
undertaking until 1t had been safely and salts
factorily completed
