VELooIpEDEs IN THE STREETS. MANS own
feet or crutches and a wheeled vehicle with
horse in front-these, 1t seems, must be
the Alpha and Omega of locomotion in the
city streets. A wheeled vehicle without
horse is a thing so preposterous to the eyes Of
aldermen that it must be forbidden altogether
Such is the experience Of several cities, and
our city promises to follow suit. Now, though
the horse is favored by ppeular prejudice,
man may move his wagon with mule, or q
jackass, or goat, or dog; but he is not per-
mitted to move it without one of these in front,
or he will be fined twenty-five dollars. We
recommend the sports to tie their tan terriers
in front of the machine with piece of pink
ribbon, and go it on the same dodge adopted
for the dummies, where an old blind horse trots
in front of the locomotive within city limits.
Although the aldermanic abdomen is guaran-
tee against any experiment Of the Fathers on
the velocipede, can not some juvenile Of alder
manic lineage convince the old fellows how
ridiculous they are in endeavoring to prohibit
what only needs regulation?

The Hcrald's Progrcss-A Quadruplc Sheet.


We issue the HERALD this morning in q
quadruple sheet form-an absolute necessity,
necessary for the complete fuldlment Of our
journalistic mission in the reporting Of news
from all parts Of the world, civilized and un-
civilized, and the making known the wants,
requirements, commercial progress, financial
speculations, marine arrangements, real estate
operations with the supply and demands of
and for artisans and servants, to the immense
population Of New York and the surrounding
cities at an early hour every morning in the
year, and, radiating from the great metro
politan centre, hence all over the Union, with
the rapidity Of steam conveyance. By in
dustry and enterprise we have come to produce
in the HERALD reflection of the advance Of
the solid interests Of New York, of the subur-
ban towns, and we may claim Of the country
at large. Our special correspondents cover
every point Of interest in the home territory
and Canada, are to be found in all the
European capitals, in Asia and at the
antipodes; so that the American people have
been convinced years since that the columns
of the HERALD, 80 varied and interesting,
supplied the most profitable medium for their
advertising patronage. Convinced and inter-
ested, they acted, and with effect. Influenced
by their continuous advertising patronage the
HERALD was advanced from single sheet
issue to double sheet form, printed at first
occasionally, but soon afterwards permanently;
an increasing pressure from without produced
triple sheet HERALD two or three times
tailment Of our news space, and the triple
HERALD appeared daily and to-day, going on
in the like ratio and with similar effect from
similar causes, we produce quadruple sheet
HERALD work which we entertain not the
slightest doubt we will soon have to repeat
street and Broadway.


Why should it not be So? We have just
shown how the HERALD has grown with the
growth Of the city of New York and its sur
roundngs and that Of the country at large.
The civic and national advance and develop
ments cannot halt or be limited, so that fresh
demands on our space continue, and will con-
tinue, to pour in every day. The perfection
Of plans for the immediate and complete sup
ply Of these demands has received our most
anxious attention. Our mechanical appliances
are Of the most superior order, ample in force
and always in complete working trim. In
every department of the building, from our COM
posing rooms to the pressroom, active brains
and busy hands are ever at work employed In
giving form and shape to our news matter, so
that it may be said the NEW YORK HERALD is
ever in motion, ever active, ever alive, and
t'sleepeth not" This state of facts is fully
appreciated by our fellow citizens; hence our
quadruple issue, with the prospect of it's fre-
quent repetition and ultimate permanency.

TRYING THEIR HAND AT ALBANY.-The
republicans in Congress having no time to
spare to amend the naturalization laws for the
benefit Of their party in New York, the subject

this job it will probably fall through at
Albany likewise. Legislation that does not

CLAMoR OF CORRUPTION. section OF
the republican party that opposed the election
of Fenton is making great parade in the
press at its command Of charges and declara-
tions Of the venality of Mr.. Fenton, but these
republicans are careful to make no effort to
present proof or to do aught but declaim.
People will know exactly how much weight to
attach to what is thus said when they UNDER
stand its origin. 1t comes from Senator Conk-
ling. Fenton, it seems, has some influence
with Grant, as the city appointments indicate.
Conkling, we know, has none, as we sec him
leading the hunt in opposition to the repeal of
the Tenure of Office law. Conklihg, thus COM
pletely in the wrong in regard to the office, has
his organs vent his spleen in uttering against
Fenton the same old charges that have been
made against every public man from time i'm

The first State election In which the adop-
tion or rejection Of the fifteenth amendment
to the constitution has been made an element
of the campaign will be that in Connecticut,
which occurs on Monday next. The State has
repeatedly voted down negro suffrage on .
naked Issue, although the Legislature has
voted differently. Looking over tho politics

democratic Governor and republican Legis-
laturc elected and re- eelccted, as II there had
been bargain somewhere TO give democratic
votes for republican members OF the Logisla-

year the issue Of negro suffrage comes before
the people OF Connecticut upon the question Of
the adoption by the Legislature Of the If
tcenth amendment almost with as much force
as If the direct question were put. Hence we

THE BUFFALoEs' LUxURY.-The buf-
faloes found in the telegraph poles OF
the overland line a new source of de-
light on the treeless prairie-the novel
ty of having something to scratch
against. But it was expensive scatch-
ing for the telegraph company; and
there, indeed. was the rub, for the BIZ
sons shook down miles of wire daily. A
brig BIT idea struck somebody to send to
St. Louis and Chicago for all the brad
avis that could be purchased, and these
were driven into the poles with view
to wound the animals and check their
rubbing propensity. Never was great
er mistake. The buffaloes were delight
ed. For the first time they came to the
scratch sure of a sensation in their thick
hides that thrilled them from horn to
tail: They would go fifteen miles to
find brad-awl. They fought huge bat
ties around the poles containing them,
mountainous heap of rump and hump
of the fallen, and scratch himself into
bliss until the brad-awl broke or pole
came down. There has been no de-
mand for brad.awls from the Kansas
region since the first invoice.

The letter of General ROSECRANS de
clining the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Ohio, has at last been pub
lished. The document is very lengthy
one, and clearly shows that while there
are many points of agreement between
the General and the Democracy, and some
between himself and the Republicans,
yet his position on some of the most i'm
portant issues before the county would
have made him very awkward candi-
date for either party, and especially for
the Democrats.


Upon the financial issues he clearly
does not sympathize with the green
back movement; he is specially careful
about the public credit, and the pay
ment of the bonds according to their
face. At the same time he is opposed
to robbing the poor for the benefit OF
the rich, n queer position for a man who
want the bonds redeemed in gold.


RosECRANs is also sort of impartial
suffrage man. His declarations on this
point are wordy and obscure, but are
not fairly susceptible of any ether inter.
probation than the one given. The Fif-
teenth Amendment is not favored, but
the idea is conveyed that RoSECRANs
acquiesces.


Ia general terms. it may be said that
some of his views differ so radically
from some contained in the platform on
which he was nominated, that there is
no reason left to regret his declination'

A correspondent of the Rural asks
about keeping grapes. 1t is the easiest
matter in the world, providing the
grapes are of kind to keep, such as
the Diana, Isabella and others, but
chief of all, the Clinton. This will keep
till in the spring, and then be better
than at any other time. Simply gather
when ripe and put for few weeks
where the air, under shelter, without
artificial heat, has access to them, say
IN chamber, or any out.room with the
windows open. The object is to dry the
stems. Then there will be no evapora-
tion, and consequently no mold, or but
little at the worst, as the grape itself
loses but little moisture, its thick skin
holding it. Then put in dry wooden
boxes; covering the boxes. Lay dry
leaves or cotton in the bottom, and COW
er with the same for a second tier of
grapes. Two are enough, or at most
three. This way is varied somewhat.
By it we keep our Clintou's nice and
winey till May. March and April find
them prime. Put boxes in a cellar
where the temperature is uniform and
cool, with the medium between the dry
and the damp, such as will keep fruit
generally.

Probably before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence OF mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most Of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known q
liable protector against them. while adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most eGectual remedy that
be given for ncipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.


Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PecfOrdI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toraL they subside and disappear.


Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.


Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.


Bronchitis Is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectora4 in small and frequent doses.


For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night until the
disease is broken up.


For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.


For WhOOpinD Cough, give small doses three
or four times day


For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.


No family should be without the Cherry PecfO-
raj on hand to protect them. in case of attack,
from the above complaints. It's timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents keep itin your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved by it.
So generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that the best qualities it ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
