Those who pretend to know, say that ex Chief Campbell win be a Police Commissioner, and that Captain Ferry will be Superintendent. Of course tbta may be counting unhitched chickens, but there ie one thing that is nnanhnoualy agreed upon, except among Republicans, and that Is, that the party expected to reorganize the Police Bureau, should make aa clean a sweep aa did General Jourdan and his friends in 1872.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. Sir Giles Overreach. E. L. Davenport began his engagement at the Brooklyn Theatre last evening with the promise of a fitting appreciation from our public was but last Saturday that one of the most experienced of our American managers, while deploring the poor support extended to amusements an over the South, Southwest and West, remarked that while It is evident people will not in these times pay present prices to see an ordinarily good performance, they will still moat cheerfully pay them to eeo anything extraordinarily good.

If this be true, E. Davenport will certainly play one of the finest engagements ever played in Brooklyn. Since Forrest, no acter has displayed in Brooklyn such a magnifieent work of hlstrionio art aa was the Sir Giles Ourrtoch portrayed by Bar. Davenport at tho Brooklyn Theatre last evening. The effect of the portrayal can perhaps be best described by reference to tho kindred art or painting.

The conception and ih carries out the conception with was doing a man's business, and was perhaps too proud to ask ihe conductor to stop. Any way, down she stepped, and instead of jumping with the car, took an opposite leap, and fetched up where Plump INTO A MAN'S ABMS, who, fortunately, waa just in a position to catch her. "Just where they all belong," said a masculine truth teller, who bad watched the pert ormanoe. That woman required, first, some instruction in regard to momentum, and next a pair of pantaloons, for in constant leaps of this Und there is no safety In the ordinary petticoats. There is a good deal of buncombe about woman's work, and a good deal of unnecessary sympathy bestowed upon certain specimens like the above, who have determined upon making themselves disagreeably conspicuous.

And, on the other hand, thero is a profound feeling among all thinkers that women are, to a very large extent, crowded out of their legitimate avenues of employment. Bald a well known Brooklyn woman, "It makes mo angry whenever I visit a dry goods store. A day or two Bgo I wont into a large house on Fulton street to purchase my Winter flannels. 'Ladies' under said the usher, pointing to the right counter. 'Low nocked and short sleeves inquired the clerk.

The man was respectful enough, but I submit to every lady, if it isn't embarrassing to bo obliged to mention the many articles of necessary wearing apparel to the men who stand behind all our dry goods counters. How much pleasanter and more suitable to have these positions flllod by women 1" "Yes, but women tire out so easy," was the answer of another lady. According to the statement of a prominent dry goods dealer, it takes two women to do one man'B work, and then if not complaining, thoix looka are so pitiful, that it is a hardship to have them round. No. 1 resented this, and pointed to Loeser's fancy store as an example.

"I am sure," Bhe said, "brighter or more cheerful faces could not be found anywhere than in this establishment, ''and Bhe had heard that Mr.Loeser declared himself perfectly satisfied with their work. If a woman can stand from morning till night in a fancy goods store, she can certainly do tho same in a dry gooda house; but if a man can outwork and outlast a woman, in olhor words, do a wholo day's work to her half, there is an excellent reason why men should be employed in such places. So wo split upon the SOYiLA OF BEFOBM, and are dashed to pieces by the Charybdis of work, and there is but one conclusion that women with brains can come to, and this is that in all probability God knew what He was about when He made the difference in the sexes, and that the most natural place for a woman is where tho religious newspaper vendor found herself in some man's arms, under some man's protection. It does not deteriorate from the logic of this argument to be reminded of the hosts of women who have no such protection, any more than the fact that it is the most LjniRdGATE'S COURT.

Tho couplo united wero Ainsworth V. Zaohos, a young florist, aged 24 years, doing business at No. 945 Broadway, and Miss Dora Myers, residing with her aunt at 24S East Thirty second street, Now York. It was nearly noon when the eeromony waa concludod. and the party left tho church, tho bride and grooin proceeding nrst to a wedding lunch, and shortly afterward to Barnum's Hippodrome, where they remained throughout the afternoon performance, repairing at its termination to No.

To all present he seemed In the best of spirits, and terrible tragedy that ensued a fow moments later was all tho more appalling because of it entire unexpectedness. Thoy had been iu the houe but about an hour, the time being six o'clock, when Zachos stepped iuto an adjoining bedroom and closed the door, hiH wife remaining in the parlor conversing with her frifnds.

In a few momenta three ominous reports of a pistol in quick succession were heard, and the affrighted inmates, rushing to tho door of tho room, were horror etriclien at the ghastly si(Gt of the newly married man lying on the bed weltering tn bis blood, a pistol lying by hi. side. The agonized wife, comprehending the awful tragedy, fell on his neck, HEB WEDDING OABMENTS, receiving the fast flowing lifo blood of her unfortunato husband, and, uttering a shriek that pierced the hearts of ail who heard her, swooned away. Commotion and excitement indescribable ensued. Onoran for a policeman, another for a doctor, others endeavored to revivo thebrido andBtill others remain motionless oa if petrified.

In a littlo while tho sought ot medical aid arrived and every effort waa made to save tbo dying BUlclde, but his lipa wero sealed In unconsciousness though his pulse still showed signs cl lite. Tbo young lady, recovering from her swoon, broko loose again from those around and throwing herself upon tho body of her almost lifeless husband, clung to it in wild despair. It was truly a piteous sight. The officer and others on doavored to have her release her hold, but In vain. She screamed loud abovo her wanderings could bo distinguished the pathetic sentence, indicative of her great mental agony, "I shall die with my husband." It waB many minutes before the poor woman Bufflclontly recovered from her paroxysms to listen to reason but she was finally coaxed, away by tho argument that unless she desisted his lifo was irretrievably lost.

Whon comparative quiet was restored an Investigation revealed TWO BITLLET WOUNDS, one in tho right temple and one in the heart, either of which would undoubtedly prove fatal. Tho man's vest was open and his shirt blackened by the powder, making it evident that he bad purpoBely opened it andclose ly pressed the muzzle of tho weapon to his heart and fired. The bullet In the tomplo penetratod deep Info the brain, making a frightful wound. It Is thought he shot himself in tho heart first, and fearing it would not prove fatal immediately afterward placed the pistol to his head and fired. Three reports were heard altogether, as above mentioned.

The third bullet waa found tn the wall, having probably glanced oil from hia watch, which waa deeply indented, and struck where found. At about eight o'clock tho suicide waa removed in an ambulance to Believue Hospital, 8tiU unconscious and rapidly expiring. Up to half paBt eleven o'clocfe, strango to relate, ho was living; but hia medical attendants were in momentary expectation of blfl death. No cause his as yet been assigned by his friends for the rash act. ATTACHMENT OF A MONSTROSITY.

The Ball with Hi Human Arm Claimed bf His Shipper ond the United Status. The readers of the Eagle will remember that a few weekB ago a description of an animal monstrosity, which had thon just been brought from was given in its column. It was a monster bull with a human arm. It was brought from Calcutta on a Bailing vessel, and upon its arrival in Brooklyn, was inspected by hundreds of citizens, among whom were many scientists. The owner of the monstrosity, or, as he terms it, "Tho Sacred Bull," claims to have paid $5,000 for it in Calcutta, and to have refused five tunes that sum for it in this country Bince he brought It here.

Under a writ of attachment Deputy Sheriff Ben Middleton, this morning, after a laborious search, seized his saorod bullship at the stables of John J. Martin, No. 83 Columbia heighta. When Ben seized the beast he undertook to inako free with him, but to uee the deputy's own language, "he up with his arm and nearly knocked me over." Mr. George Harrison is the plaintiff in the case, and claimB the biiio of 417, for the freightage hither of tho bull.

A Mr. Wm. D. Fulger is the ownsr, and Inasmuch as he Is a resident of Calcutta will have to give security for the claim or surrender of his "sacred" treasure. Aud here a curious feature of the case arises.

It appears that the Government of the United States lay claim to his "bullship" also, or rather to a tax upon him. Had he been brought hero for brooding purposes, the owner would have been exempt from that duty, but aa he waa brought hero as a furiosity only, Uncle Sam insists upon his rights, nor will he, tis said, fully assert them, until tho animal is sold under the present attachment. The sale, it is expected, will realize over $25,000, and It iB upon that, or whatever snm he is sold for, that the owners will be taxed by the United States authorities. Meantime, Ben Middleton has an animal on hand which, though sacred, he feels justified in doing the contrary of praying before. WOMAN'S EPISCOPAL HISSI0.NARY ASSOCIA TION.

The North Second street and Middle Village Railroad recently made application in the Special Term of the City Court, before bis Honor Judge Neil eon, for an injunction restraining the Olfcy of Brooklyn from interfering with the laying of a side track on First street, near South Seventh etroet, E. D. Tkis morning Judge Heilson filed an opinion denying the application, for tho reasons iet forth below. The decision is important in rts bearing upon the rights of railroads to occupy the public streets. The following is the full text of the opinion This is sn application to continue a preliminary injunction, restraining the defendants from interfering with the plaintiffs fn relaying or restoring a turnout or elding, formerly used by them.

The terminus of the plaintiffs' road is at tho ferry, at the foot of South Seventh street, and the contention is as to the precise point, north or south of that Btreet, at which the turn out or siding should be placed. That which is sought to bo restored waa constructed In I860, on the west side of First streot, between South Seventh and South Eighth streets, where the plaintiffs' cars pase from and to tho truck of another railroad company. It is stated in the complaint that the point at which paid turn table, turnout or switch waa situated is at the uu Iranco of the ferry at the foot of South Seventh street that there iB a gato there through which paBRengers and vehicles pass snd repass to and from the ferryboats. THE PLAINTIFFS CLAIM that the turnout or siding was thus locate I with tho proper consent and authority, hnt bi eu iu use ocveval years without objection and ehoxild still bo retained as necessary to their business, and that the act of tne defendants in removing the aauio waa an improper and unauthorized interference. On tho part of tho defendants it is shown that the turnout or siding was not thus located for the accommodation of passengers, as that gate was not constructed until aftor the turnout or Biding had been placed aud in uso that the plaintiffs' cars on the siding interfere with and hinder tho vehicles using that gateway and that in running to aud from that point the cars paas the principal entrance to the forry, and delay and discommode the passengers.

Indeed, some of the deponents regard tho pressure and interruption as having been so great at this point when very many passengers come and go, that, in their opinion, such use by the cars has been dangerous to the people and a nuieance. It is stated in ceveral of the depositions that, in view of all the circumstances, tho carB should not come upon South Seventh streot. It further appears that, preparatory to the repaving of First street, this Question received the attention of the Common Council, that tho plaintiffs, by thoir Managing Director, assented to the proposed change of the location of the siding, and that after personal inspection and observation, tho Mayor of the city gave tho permit to the plaintiffs. It is denied that the defendants caused or procured tho Biding to bo torn up or removed, but they admit they have repaired that part of the street. Tho plaintiffB state aa the reason for retiring from the arrangement that opposition has been made by owners of the adjoining property, and that they have been unable to construct the Biding.

It is the common experience of persons engaged in laying or changing railroads to meot with such opposition and to ovorcome it. But while I have occasion in determining the question presented as to granting, or, for the present, withholding the injunction, to form an opinion aa to the merits of the case, and to certain questions involved, I do not assume to go beyond that. The view thus taken may bo Tory imperfect as contrasted with that to be obtained on the trial cf the cause. Ab the best judgment I can now form, frcm the pnpers and proofs before me, I am of opinion that the pfktntilTa have not such apparent right to be restored to tho uso of tho turnout sidiug at the ferry gate as to justify us in protecting thom from tho interference of the defendants. THE PLAINTIFFS1 BIGHTS TVERE GRANTED TO THEM BY THE LEGISLATURE, and the municipal authorities have not the power to impair their rights.

I am not prepared to find that lhfy have sought to do ao. Tho plaintiffs take the benefit under the statute, according to its terms, purpoae and Went. They may run their cars to and from tho ferry at the foot of South Seventh street. Those words are to bo understood as giving them leave to come as near to the ferry as may be necessary, convenient, reasonable. Their rights and duties are to be considered with somo reference to the rights and duties of the city and of other parties.

They may run their cars to tho furry, but could they lay their siding or switches at the very onto of tho errv.Tjh.ee their cars there 7 They are to come to tho foot of South Seventh Btreet. Does that ly mean tnat they can bring tneir cars in ana uaon ana across that street, occupy any portion of it? Their hrifinrss Urn north ot thai street when their cars reach the north side of it they are at that stroet and at the ferry; that, according to tho aflidavits, is sufficiently near to thB ferry to answer the practical purpise oi meeting the wants of paBBongurtj and securing their custom. I am of opinion that the statute is respected, zv.A the benefits of their franchise rjecured to the plaintiffs with out etint or evasion if they have (heir terminus on the north sido of South Seventh, and are not allowed to en ftrraich iinnn that tttrcfit. I have not been much imnressod by the consideration i that this turnout or siding was originally thus placed 1 by consent, and was used for six or seven years. It was in and upon the street; there was no power to fix upon that point irrevocably as a practical location no dedication of that street, no prescriptive right to attach, nor had the Legmiaturo aesignatea mat piaco.

It seems to me, upon these proofs, that business and travel upon this ferry are so great that it would be improper to have the space between the ferry gates and the centre of First street, where there is a railroad traclr, blocked up by auy permanent arrangement for standing cars, or for their use. I think that to maintain such an arranBemcnt would boprejndiclal to the public, a perversion of the Btreot to an improper use, ana tnoroiore inequjvaDie. it uppeara mu, uwu, mm the city authorities have a right to intervene to prevent that misuse, ana suoniu noi do restrainca ineir ei forts to so order and arrange matters as toonabletho nlftlntifffl. in a substantial and reasonable degree, to profit by their enterprise, and, at the eame time, to give laemty anu security 10 inc puuuc irawi auu uutmese.

THE OFFICIAIi CANVASS. Preliminary meeting' of tlae Board of Supervisors Counting: le Votes for County Officers.

At noon to day the Supervisors met in the office of County Clerk Geo. G. Herman, for the purpose of organizing as a Board of County Canvassers to canvass the votes cast for county officers on Tuesday last. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Herman, after which, on motion of Sup.

Bichardson, Sup. Howell, of the Eleventh Ward, was appointed Chairman. Sup. Howell then administered the oath to the several mombers of tho Board. On adjourning to the chamber of the Board of Super THra Hi, R.rJiardRon moved that with the exception of tbo hour of meeting and a quorum, the rules of the Board of Supervisors do moae ine ruies ui buiu of Canvassers.

Sup. Fisher moved that THE HOUR OF MEETING be half past ten o'clock in the morning. As an amendment, Sup. Mclntyre moved that the Board meet at two o'clock. Supervisors Richardson and Fisher eatd It would he inconvenient and undeairablo to meet in the afternoon.

Sup. Strong did not want. anything done to give the people the idea that they were going to work for 60 days at counting the votes. He did not see. any reason why they should not be through with the work in ten or eleven days at the furthest.

Mr. Herman said if they did not meet before two o'clock, it would certainly take them 20 days to canvass As sDamendment Snp. Bichardson moved that the Board meet at ten o'clock. The motion was lost. Sup.

Stilwell said he understood from the clerk that unless THE VOTE WAS SENT TO ALBANY by the 20th instant, it would be thrown out. Sup. Dunne moved an amendment to make the hour of meeting eleven o'clock every morning. The motion nMcIntyre moved that a Committee of Five be ap pointed to aBBist the clerks. Carried.

The City Canvass. The Board of Aldermen met as a Board of Canvassers, in the Common Council Chamber, at one o'clock this afternoon.

AM. Bergen, after calling Aid. OHoilly to the chair, stated that the Clerk of the. Board of Elections had called upon him and informed him that the returns of the vote for city and ward officers were ready for delivery.

Aid. Bergen therefore moved that the Serge ant at Arma snd a special committee of two be directed to bring the returns to the chamber. Aid, Clancy was of tho opinion that the Board of Elections should be required to bring them. Aid. Bergen's motion prevailed, and the Chair appointed Aldermen Nolan and Fisher to accompany the Sergeant at Arms, P.

Tormey. Tho Board thereupon took a recess for twenty minutes. The Committeo soon returned with a latge basket contaming the returns. Mr, Sherry, Clerk of the Board of Elections, who 1 accompanied the Committee, asked for a receipt for the returns, but Deputy City Glerk. McNamara.

refused to give until thoj bad nUaaea thronjih his Unearthly Sounds in an Atlantic Avenue Tenement, The Occupants Alarmed Mr. Morris' (the Owner) Eetinest of the Police Frank Masterson's Solution of the MysteryIf the Police Fail He Will Succeed. The occupants of the tenement house corner of Atlantio avenue and Henry street, have been etartled, annoyed and frightened for some time past by arrange and unearthly sounds and rapplnga. These sounds are heard only on Saturday and Sunday nlghta. During the rest of the week everything in and about the place la quiet and orderly as it should be.

When these sounds and rappings were first' heard bnt little attention was given to them, ufitflf it traa noticed that they occurred on stated evenihjtttrl increasing violence. Begu arly on Saturday night, a'few minutes before midnight, the sounds of footsteps were heard on the stairs and along the hallways. As they passed along to the unoccupied roomB on the third floor of the house, chains were rattled, and the doors on eithar side of the hallwayB were stricken with what la described as "iron hands." The ghostly visitors on roaohing the rooms for some moments remained quiet. Thon having caused all the doora to rattle on their hinges, the unearthly sounds would begin, and for an hour the noises heard were terrible and unearthly. Sunday night the same sounds were heard, except that, instead of tho rattling of chalnB, SOFT SOUNDING BELLS, were jinglod preparatory to the commencement of tho ghostly performance.

Mr. Morris, tho proprietor of the house, waa notified and informed that unless he had something done to allay tho spirit, his honso would be vacant. At first he gave little heed to the reports, until the tenants in a body yesterday afternoon waited on him, and corroborated what had been said concerning tho mysterious sounds. He at onoe repaired to the place, and fn company with the writer, made an examination of the promiscB. On the first floor is Mr.

floldriol's liquor store, and Mr. Dietrich's shoe shop; The floors above are ocoupled by small famib'os. The third floor Is unoccupied, except a email bedroom which one of Dietrich's workingmen sleeps in. "This room," Mr. Dietrich said almost seared Mm to death.

"Oh, you should have been here, but I wasn't for you see I waa not by my house on Sunday." "Mine daughters" he continued, becoming excited while relating the story and speaking in broken English, "Mine daughters were yumped from their beds by them ghosts, mit iron hands. Den when day had dem good soared day played mit little bells, und den raised the mit a lot of things yust like iron hoops, Veil dat make me dink somedings, though I said to de girls oh you make things what yon don't see, but I have Been dem, und 111 tell yon how. One night I went up stain to make dem closets have boards In dem, and when I come down I saw do ghost coming up stairs, but he say nothing. He looked JUST LIKE A LITTLB LOAFEB, and I said nothing to him, but come right away down stairs, for I would not for de world speak mit a loafer. I said so to mine man what sleeps here in this room, and he said nothing, but looks at me and grows white." During Mr.

Dietrich's remarks Mr. Morris looked nervously about the place and then started from the houso on a run. Tho reporter, surprised at his sudden departure, bounded after him, followed by Mr. Dietrich, who, in his anxiety not to be left alone in the roome, toppled over the reporter, and taking two Bteps at a time, rushed into his store yelling, in anawer to the reporter's inquiry, ''What's your hurry "Somebody's, been in de Btore since I've been gone." Following Mr. Norfis to tho Butler street Police Station, that gentleman excitedly Informed Sergeant Cad den of tho ditturbances at his house which threatened to ruin his preporty.

"I want protection for my place, and I wish them ghosts to be arrested. Will you please send some men there Saturday night. I ain't afraid, and I will be there with a nice bundle of segars and some "Oh, little good that will do you." said Frank Nostor bou, who was among the number of those in the Station Houso, listening Mr. Morris' story. This by Frank aroused curiosity, and ho waa asked why he thought so, for Frank is considered an authority on such questions by those who know him.

"Why do I think so? Well, IU toll you. I'm as well acqainted with (heir trick aa one can be who has been with TUP FAIBIES AT HOME." Frank was carried off by the fairies when a boy in the old and, it is reported, remained with them over two weeks in their fortress and burrows on the cross roads In Ireland. "It is my opinion," Frank continued, "that give me the name of the man who keeps tho liquor store in your place ho said, speaking to Mr. Morris. "Mr.

McGoldrick," he replied. Then tho less I lie" said Frank, looking scornfully at Constablo Burns, of the Ttvelf th Ward. "It's them, as sure ae I'm here, and I can, demonstrate my proposition to you in a twinkling. What more do you want than what that man says the iron hand, and the gentle twinkling bells that are heard. And ain't the hoUBe in tho Sixth Ward, and dont Mr.

Morris live there, and didn't he vote agin Phil. Clare I hold that he did." "I didn't vote at all," said Mr. Morris. "Right agin; if you didn't vote agin him you didn't rote for him, which la just as bad, and you see that's the cause ot all this trouble. The fairies knew Clare and all his family at home, and have taken a little trip over." 'What?" said Mr.

Bums. "Yes they havo and you'd know that it would be easy for thom to do it if you only road the papers, for ain't THE PASSAGE MONET reduced to $15." Aa Frank said this he ran from the place to servo an ejectment warrant. In case the police, who have promised Mr. Morris to be present at his house next Saturday night, are unable to dislodge the ghosts, Frank will be furnished with full authority to serve a notice on them. Before leaving the Station House Mr, Morris said that he thinks it is all a humbug.

Some funny fellows, he thinks, wish to annoy him because he dispossessed a tenant who occupied the apartments a few months ago. The police account for the noises being heard on those particular nights, from the fact that considerable spirits are let loose on Saturday and Sunday from McQoldrick's barrels. DRESS REFORM. Brooklyn and New York Women en the Subject, Wliat the ladies of the Woman's Club and Sorosis Think A Great Reformation of Venerable Garments. Of all the questions at present engrossing the attention of the feminine world, there is none re ceiving quite so much notice as this of dress reform.

For a long time the radical wings, composed of Jaoa sonites, and Walkerltes, have had the floor, but just now the conservatives are largely in the majority. There seems a way out of bands, and straps, and weighty clothing, without resorting to pantaloons, and double breasted coats, and this to the genuine woman is really a subject for thanksgiving. By genuine Is meant that home loving, home serving, instinctively erninine woman, who dresses tastefully, because tasteful toilettes are a necessity, and who would as Boon think of cutting her own throat aa appearing on tho Btreet in an eccontrrc or unsuitable ooBtumo. To this class any ohangc which shall insure added health and usefulness, without detracting from self respect is a welcome one. "It may be better," remarked a prominent MEMBEB OF SOBOSIS, for women to adopt nantalaons aud suspenders, rather than curve their spines, ruin their healths, and murder their unborn children but my opinion is that most of us would rather die than bo compelled to wear such a rig.

If there lent any compromise, for one, shall continue to commit slow suicide." This was putting it pretty strong, but Soroslans arc a privileged set, and have had this question of dress reform in solemn consideration for some timo. The majority of them have warmly seconded the abandonment of corsets, and the rules of the society prevent any member from wearing trained or demi trained ekirts upon the street so it is plain to see that the Soroslans have alwaya been a little ahead on this matter of sensible dressing. THE WOMAN'S CLUB of Brooklyn are also in the advance ranks, many of them having long ago effected a very marked reform in their manner of dress. Jfow the change, if ft is a wholesome ono, is not perceptible. Dresses fit just as weU, and the underclothes admit of just as many ruffles and furbelows, all the difference consisting in tho garments being joined at tho waist by buttons, and every article depending from the shoulders, not tho old fashioned shoulder straps, but by the waists, which, fitting the neck" and ehoulders properly, receive all the weight of all the undergarments.

COSSETS are being abandoned by all women who have given the subject any thought. Tight oranug lacingpreventafree respiration and corsets loose sag upon the hips, affecting other and quite as delicate portions of the feminine anatomy. The notion of few Brooklyn women, discussed considerably a while ago, in reference to the propriety of a regular aaltorm for women, dhTriot receive much attention. While many were quite willing to remove their corsets, provided something better was suggested, they were not at all pleased with the idea of compulsory anit. There Is no compromise between ft skirt of respectable length for the atreet and pantaloons, and, thanks to woman's good sense, there are never more than a half dozen UABY WALEEB3 to the century.

Such costumes may be worn in water cure establishments, and other reformatory institutions, but they are never Been upon the street, notwithstanding the publicly expressed opinion of their wearers aa to their beauty and healthfuInesB. No better criticism could be offered upon the innate modesty and good taste oi most of our sisters. Reform is one thing, delicacy quite another in questions of this kind. To blend the two in this business of dress haa been about as difficult as for women to decide upon their "rights;" and just here comos the dresB question again, in full force. "You are selling papers," a reporter said to a middle aced woman in New York, who had just hopp2d on to a Eleecker street car; "do you find it a pleasant busi ness "A woman must do something to earn her was the answer; "I don't sell anything but religious newspapers," holding up daily, with fear and trem The reporter watched her leave the cox.

She From Tcstardas's Fonr O'clock Edition. THE SPOILS. Catalogue of IscaS Victors What Claim the Minor Offices that Considered Political by the Republicans and Which the Democratic Workers Now Urge Shenld be Ghen to Them. The certainty of a change in the heads of moBt of the city as tie result of the trana fer of power from tho Republicans to the Democrats, ha3 had the, effect of directing the attention of the politicians to tho patronage of the offices in question. "To the victors belong the an old political maiim, and as the Democrats have not had very great contra' for the past few years, they can keenly appreciate the justice of such possession, more especially sinco tho Republicans, with Controller Schroeder at their head, haw niido almost a clean sweep of Demooratic em ployed.

This was notoriously so with Schroeder, wco, when he ontered upon the duties of Controller, KICKED OUT THE DEMOOBATIO clerks he fonnd there. During Mr. Schioeder's administration, the clerical force has been largely increased so that tlio office is also quite a plum In respect to tho patronage. There are now nineteen employes under tlio Controller, including two docimaeters, one for tho Eastern and tho other for the Western District, who are Republicans. The salaries in the office range from $3,000 to tOM per annum.

Mr. Rich, the Doputy and Mr. Bostwick, tho clerk of Accounts, receive 3,000 each. One of Mr. weaknesses which was evinced more particularly perhapB in the last campaign, is nationality.

He evidently believes "OEBMiH KNOW NOTHTNGISM Hence we find nearly a dozen Germans employed in his bflloe, and among his entire clerical force there are but two Democrats. Mr. Schroedar says that be 1b glad he was defeated as far as ho himself is concerned, but bo is really sorry for bis clerks. His poor clerks, save perhaps those two lucky Democrats, are sorry too, for they know that when Mr. Sonroeder goes out on the first of January they will soon follow him.

The salary of the Controller Is $10,000 per annum. The terms of tho Commissioners of City 'Worloj expire in May next. The Mayor nominates their successors and the Common Council confirms, the patronage of this Department is immense. There are between three and four hundred appointments, Including engineers, superintendents, keepers, clerks, Ac. There are a great many Republicans in the employ of the Department, the friends of the Republican commissioners, Messrs.

Palmer and Whiting. They have already begun to tremble al the very thought of the impending decapitation. Iu tho City Auditor .) office, there are but three places to be tilled, a deputysbip with a salary of per annum, and two clerkships at $2,100 aud $1,200 respectively. Iu the Departments of Collection ami Arrears, there are Borne sixty clerks. There is hut little said now about any change iu tho Collector's Department, but in the Dopartuitut of Arrears there will probably be a lively shaking up.

Tlie Police Dcparuueut. The Demooratic vriiirlwind which swept the County of Kings on the third of November has made it painfully evident to tho loaders of the Republican party in this city that tho hold which they have uau upon the fat offices is broken, and will not continue longer than fivo months, if as long. The Democracy, ontbo contrary, are jubilant, and havo already prepared, in their mind's eye, a list of tho positions out of which they will very soon unceremoniously tnrnsr tneir beaten political opponcntB. If among all these deportments thero is any one in tho recovery of which tho Democratic party iB delighted, and to be congratulated, it is THE DEPABrilBJrT OF POMOB, which, since 1872, haB been misgoverned by the Republican party, under Oeueral James Jourdan. The PolicB Department, when it shook off the Metropolitan yoke iu 170, was duly organized as a municipal department, and was supposed to bo run by the then dominant party the Democracy but so unselfishly was tho make up cf the force performed, there being an even apportionment of tbe Hcveral subordinate positions, that it is the only period withont question in which it was thoroughly non partiean.

THE OLD DEPARTMENTS. The Brooki Department was organized on the first of May, 1810, ami the various positions, from Commissioners down, were filled in tho following order CommisFioners D. D. Briggs, Isaac Vau Anden and Mayor Kalbfleisch, ex oJRcio. Chief of Police Patrick Campbell.

As before stated, the force was bo evenly divided as regards the political complexion of the members that it was, as it should always have been, thoroughly a protective body, and not a political machine. But the Republican Legislature of 1872 hatched out a bill overturning the Department to Buit the demands of ambitious local politicians of the same stripe, and on the 21st of May of that year there waa a reorganization. And this is how THE EErUMJCAN POLITICIANS BEOBQANIZED the Department, Commissioners James Jourdan, James L. Jensen Dauiel D. Briggs.

Sanitary Squad Sergeant Kogers. General Jourdan entered tho department duly im pressed with his own importance a military man and with a equal determination to nave none but military assistants (Republicans of course), snd in a short time thanolice was reorganized upon a political basis, ihe first inquiries made regarding the subordinates wa, not "are they capable and efficient?" out "are tuey oi our i tripe politically 7" and many who failed to come up to the required standard were dismissed or removed aa the public is pretty well aware. THE FIBBT MOVE waB to get rid OS Chief Campbell, who had persisted in finding the murderess Kate Stoddard in his own way and In opposition to the clairvoyant medium recommended by the General. So the Chief was set aaido that a berth might be made again for irUncle" John Folk, and equally as quickly did Chief Clerk DeWitt "step down and out" to make place for Adjutant Richards, whoso sole qualification seemed to consist in his being a member of the General's regiment, a Republican wire puller, and one of tho jfjd glove aristocracy. Then, without any pretext but simply to strengthen the Department, as a tender to the Republican party, were Captains Mc Connell, Powers, Mullen, O'Nell and Cassidy removed in favor of Messrs.

Bourne, Kaiser, Craft. McKellar and Campbell, wb030 polities were of the correct pat tern In the estimation of ths General. Most of the Pre cinct Sergeants were also shifted about, quite a num. oer were removed without cause, and where they stood two and two politically they are now three to oue on the RAnnblinan side. Even Drill Caption Dean was "put in the cellar" to (commodate Captain Jewett, who is recognized as a power In Seventh Ward Republican politics, and Boiler Inspectors Cunningham and Faron gave place to Re publicans Powers and Short.

Mr. Holt, the Property Clerk, a gentleman of ability, was superseded by Mr. Kraushaar. who claims to Je or consiaerame weigui among the German Republicane, and rode around the polls on election day to learn how badly his "nasi" was being beaten. That the Department was rather more than ordinarily unfortunate in its selection of a Fire Marshal is evident from the fact that ths present om cial hasn't time to make out hii monthly reports.

After reorganizing the Department to bis satisfaction and GETTING RID OF ALL DKJIOOEATS, the General proceeded to enlarge tho boundaries to accommodate other friends who needed office. So the Eighth sub, tho Tenth sub, tho Eleventh and the Twelfth Srecincta were formed, aDd ex Assessor O. B. turned up again as a captain, and, until the result of Tuesday's vote became known, had been in Uocas of one day alippliiil into QajjUln tttdushlin's jy86mW NICHOLAS 1 rB i i ll Kxecutor.

Reports of the General of the Army, Eai. Lieutenant, and of the Assistant Postmaster General Tlie Genoral in Ohief of the Army, General Sherman, and his subordinate, Lieutenant General Sheridan, have submittfid annual reports to the Secretary of War, and tho Third Assistant Postmaster General, Hon. M. Barber, has also completed his annual report. General Sherman's Report Is dated Headquarters, St Louis, Oct.

24, to the Secretary of War speaks of the efficiency of the army, nnd declares it to bo tho hardest worked body of men in any country. The efficiency, and especially the Department of the Pacific, is due to its remoteness from Washington. The total number of enlisted men up to tho date of the report was 26,441, "I havo no doubt," the General eavs, "that by the first of January, 1875, tho number of enlisted men will be reduced by ordinary casualties, dinchargea, and deathF, to the number limited by law, namely. 05,000, and will i vonturo the expression of opinion that this limit forces 1 tho companies to bo small a standard that the efficiency of the Bervico is greatly impaired thcroby. It ia utterly impossible to maintain the companies at remote stations up to tho very small legal standard, because months must i necessarily elapse after discharges and deaths before re oruils can bo sent from tUu goueral rendevouz." He then refers to tho several military divisions and departments into which tho country is divided, and to the reports of 1 commanding officers as to the condition of tho troopB, fho changes havo occurred, In regard to the Military Division cf the South ho states "Sinco tho rendition of tho report of the commander thereof, owing to the disturbed condition of civil affairs there 1 and the constant requisitions of the civil officers for military help, tho Thirteenth Infantry has been ordered to New Orleans, and six companies of the Seventh Cavalry havo also been ordered to the Division of the South from the Department of Dakota, These troops, together with what wore previously on duty there, are deemed amply adequate to the necessity." Kef erring to the Military Division of the Missouri, commanded by IJoutenant General P.

H. Sheridan, he Bays, this important division embraces substantially all the territory east of thoBooky Mountains to the Mississippi River and cast, including the States of Illinois and Mlnne i sota. Within this immense area are grouped most of the Indian tribes, who are in a transitive state from Bavago barbarism to a condition of comparative civilization. It is within this area that there has been, and must continue for years to come, that contact or the frontier Bottlers with the aboriginal savage, resulting in a chronic state of war. "During the past year, by the EXTBAOBDINABY ACTIVITY of tho troops and the good sense of our military officers, the frontier has been compamtivelo safe.

On tho northern line ef Texas and the southern line of Eaneas tho untamed savages, Ktowoa, Comanchee, Cheyennee, and Arapahoes, began this season their usual raids, and as tho Indian agents confessed their utter inability to manage their respective tribes by the usual humane and Christian treatment, tho wholo aubject was turned over to the War Department and committed to the management of Liont. Gen. Sheridan, who has laid hold of it with his accustomed energy. He is at this moment down in the Indian country near Fort Sill, giving hia personal attention to the subject, and I have no doubt before the Winter is over these Indians will learn a lesson which will enable the civil agents to bring them within tho sphere of hunianization if not of civilization. In regard to tho Military Division of the Pacific composed of the Democrats of California, Columbia and Arizona, he says these Departments aro luclrily so remote from headquarters that to the officers on the spot is left the Bupremo control of all the details, and tho consequence is the utmoBt harmony of action and economy of administration.

I have not the least doubt thai to Gen. judioioiis supervision, and the prompt action of Gon. Jeff. Ci Davis iu Oregon last Spring, wo are indebted to a peaceful solution of what for a timo threatened to be a war with tho Shoshones and Snake Indians "Also Gen, Crooke, being armed with tull authority and but little complicated with civil agents and thoir administration, hus maintained on almoBt uninterrupted peace in that moat difficult country, Arizona. I inclose the reports of all these officers, and refer to thom with pride as samples of military literature, clear and concise in the statement of facts, and demonstrating that the small army of the United States, called a peace establishment, is the hardest worked body of men in this or any country.

The discipline and behavior of the officers and men, have been worthy of all praiee, andwhether employed on the extreme and distant frontier, or in aiding the civil officers in the execution of civil processes, have been a model for tho imitation of all good men." In regard to the removal of his headquarters to St. Louis, ho says: "I am prepared to execute any duties that may be devolvod on me by proper authority. Here I am centrally located, and should occasion arise, I can personally proceed to any point of this continent where my services arc needed." Lieut Gen. Sheridan's Report Lieut. Gen.

Sheridan, in his annual report, says: Within the limits of his command tho Military Division of the Missouri) there arc seventy six established posts and camps, garrisoned by eight regiments of cavalry, seventeen regime ntg of infantry, and a small detachment of engineer troops, aggregating, at tho last official report, 17,819 commisBioned officers and enlisted men. He says, to protect tho frontier from depredating bands of Indians, to assist the Department of the Interior to maintain its authority on tho various Indian res ervations, to oxpiore anu survey unknown territory, to aid the civil authorities in enforcing the laws and maintaining peace fn remote districts, to escort national boundary, State and Territorial surveying parties, to protect and defend the advanced UneB of railway in the far West, and in fact to do overy thinc within our power to forward the odvoncine war of ch ilization on our frontiers and at the same time ten keep wittun the limits of our appropriation, has taxed the energies of both tho commanding generals and their subordinates throughout the whole division; and taking into consideration the small number of troops, the great extent of territory covered by their operations, and the amount of money appropriated by Congress to cover our expenditures, we havo aucceoded as well as could be expected. Beferring to the Black Hills expedition, under Colonel Custer, he says The reoonnoissance was successful; the country of the Black Hills waafound to be muoh better than was expected, with plenty of good timber, and considerable good soil at high altitudes, and an abundant Bupply of good water and grass. Some gold was found near Harney's Peak, but of its abundance there is at present no reliable information. Sufficient timo could not be given by an expedition such as that of Colonel Custer's to prospeot and determine Ita Quantity." Gen.

Sheridan again recommends the establishment of a large military post in tho Black Hills country He reviews at some length the Indian troubles in his department, particulars of which have heretofore been published. Inrflgard to the operations of Col. Miles, Lieut. Col. Davidson, Lieut.

Col. Buell and Major Price, be says it is hoped that the very best results which could be expected will be accomplished, and that we may settle tho Indian question forever, so far as the Klowas, Comanches and Obeyennea in the South went are concerned. CAUSE OF THE INDIAN TROUBLES. "I respectfully dlfftr with Gen. Pops us to the chief causes bf these Indian troubles, and attribute it to the immunity with whioh tae tribes have been treated.

In all their raids into Texaa for the past three years their reservation have fwnished them supplies with which to make raids, and sheltered them from pursuit when they returned with their scalps and plunder. There is no donbt that the advance of settlers and the operations of authorized surveying parties in tho Indian Territory and Kansas, and also tho buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls, irritated them, but the business in which these parties were engaged, made war an exceedingly undesirable thing for them. No man of close observation, it seems to me, can travel across the great plains from Nebraska and Wyoming to Texas, and see the established ranches, with their hundreds of thousands of head of cattle, sheep and horses, together with the families of the owners, and reasonably think that these peo. pie, ao much exposed and bavmg bucIi valuable interests, are desirous of provoking Indian wars. There was a time, possibly, when the population of tho Indian frontier may have been desirous of Indian troubles, but that has passed long ago.

It was when the country between the Missouri liiver and the Rocky Mountains was a barren desert, while now it is the grazing ground for the stock consumed by the population of our Eastern citieB. "This outbreak does not look to me as being originated by the actions of bod white mon or the Bale of whisky to the Indians by the traders. It is the result of the restless nature of the Indian who has no profession but arms and naturally seeks for war and plunder when the grazing gets high enough to feed hia ponies. "Affairs on the Rio Grande line, especially on the upper Rio Grande, have been almoHt entirely settled since the handsome chastisement given to the Indians near Santa Bosa, in Mexico, by Col. MeEenzie of the Fourth Cavalry.

It has resulted in the return of many of the Eickapoo Indians to their reservation in the Indian Territory, and the mot friendly action on the part of tbo Mexican authorities to prevent Indian raids in the future. "Considerable annoyance has been given on the southern line of the Rio Grande by Mexican cattle thieves, but even these raids have recently subsided to a great extent." Postmaster Uarber Postmaster Barber in his annual report, shows that during the last nscal year there were iasued to postmasters for sale to the public, 632,733,000 adhesive postage stamps, of the value of of plain stamped envelopes about 65,000,000, valued at $1, 972,952 of atamped envelopes bearing a return request 52,000,000, valued at of nowspaper wrappers some 19,000,000, valued at $220,000 and of postal cardq 91,000,000. The increase in value of the ordinary issues over the preceding year was $1,668,448, or over eight per cent. The increase in value of the ordinary isssues over the preceding year was or over 8 per cent. These figures represent the cost of manufacture added 1 to the postage value.

It is estimated that for the fiscal year ending June SO. 1874, there will be required to de fray the cost of adhesive postage stamps, of etampod envelopes and wrappers, of postal cards, $159,800, and of advertising $116,000. The num ber of EtampB iBsued each year Increases at a uni i form rate of about 10 per cent, per annum, but In con sequence ot more ad van lag eons contracts having been effected, the estimate for the abovo items some $31,000 Less than the amount appropriated for them for the current fiscal year. The Dead Letter Division received during the past year 4,601,773 letters, representing an actual or nominal value of $4,637,429, exclusive of jewelry, and other property, which class or inclosurea is treated as pons easing no money value that can with correctness bo determined. One million, three hundred and ninety two thousand, two hundred and twenty four letters, representing $3,909,868, were delivered to the owners or writers, including 225,893 foreign letter's, which were returned unopened to the countries whence they came.

Of the remainder, some 2,600 ,000 were either worthless, containing circulars, or could not bo delivered and were destroyed. The rest are filed for reclamation or in the hands of Postmasters for delivery. The Third Assistant strongly recommends that provisions be made by law for furnishing to every Poatmaster throughout the country indelible ink and other requisites for effectually cancelling postage stamps, and for post marking. None of the Post Offices are now furnished by the Department with any such articles for the protection of the Government. Mr.

Barber estimates that the proportion of washed stamps used again in payment of postage is five per cent, of Ihe value of all the stamps sold each year, causing an annual loss of $1,000,000 to the revenues of the Department. The report describes the plans devised by the Third Assistant, and annroved bv the Post master General for collecting newspaper postage under me prepayment uw, wuicn ts to go xnco eaecc next January. ASHAMED TO BEG. Officer Connery last night arrested John Wilson, 37 years old, on complaint of Mr. Adam Davis, of No.

356 Henry street. At the time of the arrest Wil son was walking hurriedly along the street with a door mat under hut coat. This mat Mr. Davis claimed had been stolen from his door step by Wilson. He did not deny the charge of theft, and when brought to the police station said that he was ashamed to Deg, ana being hungry took the mat to buy bread.

He is friendless and homeless. This morning Justice Delmar sent him to the Penitentiary for twenty nine days. The members of the Noble street Presbyterian Church held their monthly sociable meeting in the lecture room last evening. There were over three hundred people present, among whom waa the pastor, Eev. William H.

Taylor. After spending a few hours in pleasant conversation, they dispersed. The boy O'Brien who stabbed Lannigan after a row with him in a liquor store, in Doughty street, was discharged by Justice Walsh this morning he did it in self defense. Lannlgan's wound wa very trifling. startling fulness is purely that of a Rembrandt.

Tbo heavy sombre back ground of remorseless ambition, lighted only by lurid revelations of tho crimes through which it works toward the end that finally evades it, finds parallel in its effect nowhere else. From the very intensity of evil he evokes in the spectator a certain degree of reBpect not unlike that which tho reader of Milton is forced to yield to Satan, the Archangel Ruined." What such a will and such a brain could have accomplished, had its aim been good in lieu ot evil, expels contempt from the awe which the picture evokes; and aa the bitterness of rage and disappointed wrath bring on tho apoplectic death, while we are glad that Overreach diea baffled, we leul a certain satisfactiou that Overreach did not live despised. Were we to psrUoularize any passage of pecnllar excellence in a performance whose chief excellence lies in ita entirety, we should point chiefly to the scene between Overreach and his daughter, tho second scene of the second act, wherein Overreach advises hia daughter to sacrifice her virtue in order to secure the aristocratic husband hia ambition yearns to secure her. TheSa tanio gamester staking a maiden's virtue against a title, with the confidence of a Lucifer arming against Heaven, was bo portrayed by Davenport as to curdle the blood in a man's vetna. The passage itBeU Is so powerful, so peculiarly writton in Masainger's finest vein, that we cannot resist the temptation to quote It: Sir a He comes to woo you see yon do not coy it This mincing modesty hath spoiled many a match, By a first refusal Mmt.

Margaret You'll have me, sir, preserve tho distance that confines a virgin 1 Sir Virgin, me no virgins! '(( have you lose that name or you lose mo. IU havo yon private start not I say private. If you are my true daughter YouH venture alone with one man, though he came Like Jupiter to Sewole and come off too And therefore when he kisses you, friss close. It is fairly impossible to describe the devilish autocracy of vice over virtue, which Davenport throws into these lines. We havo striven to mark his reading by the weak uBe of italics but the flondish despotism of his face, tho iron positiveness of his tones aa he commands his daughter to oiler up her virtue to a man she has never oven seen is as impossible to describe as tho demoniac expression of his face when the last two words gr3te out between his teeth.

The self reliance of Overreach was not less finely rendered in his very next Bpeech. Naturally, the girl's nature revolting at obedience to such a command, she ends by saying "If to obey you, 1 forget my honor, He must and will iorsuke me." When uttering the command to kiss close Davenport had bent toward her, now his form raised to his full height, hia eyes flashing with the conecioua power of a will nevor successfully opposed, ho reveah) in tone, look, gesture.pose, his apparently indomitable rclf reliance as he exclaims How! forsake thee! Do wear a sword for fashion? Or is this arm Shrunk up or withered? Does there bye a man, Of that large list I have encountered with, Can rraly say I e'er gave inch of ground Not purchased with his blood that did oppOEe me. Forsake thee! He dares not. Though all his Captains, ecnoeB to his will, Stood armed by his side to Justify the wrong; Spite of his lordship, and his colonelship, would make him render A bloody and a strict account, and force him, By marrying thee, to cure thy wounded honor. Meg have Bald it.

As Davenport ends the speech wo see indeed what Massinger meant to draw a human roflex of the devil himself. Intellect without principle courage without honor. To enumerate every passage in which Davenport reflects with equal force and truth Massingcr's great creation would be to quote and describe his reading of almost every sentence of tho part. One touch, however, wo cannot pass over. It oconrs near tbo end of the last act, after Overreach ha9 found himself bamed by a mere potty stratagem of hia daughter and the man Bhe loves.

Estopped in hia attempt to kill his daughter, he turns on the Lord he schemed to have her wed, and in tones fraught with hate and quivsring with defiance, hisses out his challenge, nervouBly twitching at his sword hilt Lead the way let's quit the house, and change six words in private 1" The answer is quick, "I am ready." Having heard It, Davenport exits, only to return in a minute finding the Lord has not followed. He leans against the wing, and with taunting contempt, and hate that oonveya insult In every letter of the three words, sayB aloud, "Are you pale?" From that moment the delirium seizes him, and the climax, reached fn the fall and death, Is a piece acting certainly unique of its kind, and wholly unequaled by anything on our stage to day. Great In all ho plays, Davenport is certainly greatest in this par. His Richelieu, which lie will play to nlsbt, is of the Macready typo, a fine study, but it no where attains the sublimity of his Sir Giles. It is the best we have; but that, alas, haa come to moan too little to be a compliment.

It Is finished with tho minute care of a picture by Mcissonicr; but is too wholly Intellectual to move as his Sir Giles moves or to naunv we mina bb niB Sir Giles it. Next to Sir Giles, his best work Is his Hamlet. I.otta. Lotta made a suoeesaful rentree on the Brooklyn stage at the Park Theatre hurt evening in Maeder's play of "Zip." No one present but was pleased to see her, and pleased to see that the little favorite was as healthy, as full of vivacity and In as exuberant spirits as ever. She was most enthusiastically greeted; and almost at every scene drew down either sympathetic laughter or applause.

Judging from her reception, therefore, it eeema Bate to predict that Lolta will lose nothing by her present viBit to Brooklyn. Few people on the stage afford as much harmless mirth as Lotta, and nono have dono more by a life of the utmost purity, of constant toil and self abnegation to render unjust the animadversions which of tafe it seems fashionable for the pulpit to cast upon tho stage. The histories of such women as Maggie Mitchell and Lotta, if told in full, by the continuity of self sacrifice they reveal, by the unremitting toil, and ever present pace with success which has marked tlSelr every step, would lead many todoubt that such women have done wrong in affording pleasure to thousands, while from thai pleasure they ward the means to practically benefit hundreds. "Genevieve de Brabant." To night Offenbach's pleasant music in. "Genevieve do Brabant" will be given to an expurgated h'brelto, in tho Academy of Music.

Joseph Jefferson commenced an engagement at Booth's Theatre last evening.

Sothern has bad an advertisement of himself carved on the tomb of Frederick Cook, the actor who lies buried in tho churchyard at the head of Fulton street. He had Cook's tomb, which was reared by Kean, carefully repaired, and his own name carefully carved on it as the repairer. This reminds ono of the gravestone al Fare La Chaise: Here lies Jean Dupuy. His disconsolate widow still keeps the Fancy store No.

MISS ANTHONY scouts this idea, and yet when she first established the Revolution, in Park Bow, she tried with all tho strength of her will power and everybody knows that is prodigiousthe experiment of employing only women and girla in every department of tho paper. The type setters were women, and these, through careful education, and on account of the work being in every way adapted to their strength and nimble fingers, were perfectly satisfactory, Susan herself most inconsistent of women agreed that the intellectual department had better have a masculine head, and PABKEB MLLSBTJBY became editor in chief. Here again the feminine brain, under P. jurisdiction, was all that was desirable, and indeed without it would probably have been qulto aB aatisf actory. Why 1 Because the work was precisely on the line of the cultivated feminine aptitude.

Miss Anthony determined that no boys should sell tho Revolution, but cantankerous "woman's was, the time came when she was thaukf ul to bid farewell to the IiAST LITTLE PETTICOAT. They bothered her life out. They were pcrpotually falliug down, losing their money and having trftir pnpers stolen. Not a day passed that the honest old maid was not summoned on deck to dispose of some mutinous frowsy head. It was not unusual to see two or three of those news renders climbing the stairB, in one day minus thoir skirts, or with the dilapidated rags hanging upon their armB.

At first Susan was pitiful; and then it was, "Those dreadful boys By and by tho tune changed, and she was forced to ad mit what Mrs. Stanton bad vainly endeavored to impress upon her in the beginning, that OrBLS WEBE OIBL8, and boys were boys, and there was an ond of it. "The radical woman'B rlghte advocate," said a mom berof the Brooklyn Woman's Club, "seems, in her zeal and oxottement, to lose sight altogether, of the physiological differences of tho sexes. Now, while I believe that a woman has an equal right with her husband to the choosing of a President, Governor or Congressman, and in the broadest sense of the word that 'taxation without representation 1b I am quite BUre that Susan B. Anthony nor any other woman can improve upon tho DISTINCTIVE OHABAOTEIttSTIOS of the sexes.

I believe that the original intention was for men to make the money and for women to bear the children and tako care of the details. Tho woman who, by the force of her genius, can go it alone, success! ully I respeot, but to me there ia nothing sweeter, purer, holier than this earning on tho one hand, and caro taking on the other. Tho woman, who is not mar, ried to a kind, loving husband, is occupying an Bbnormal position, living an unnatural life, whether this is from Choice or necessity. Ab for this question of dress reform, this casing up of the feminine load, indorse it heartily. I can walk ten miles a day, I was not able to walk one, by adopting thiB method of having my clothes as light as possible, and suspending tho weight from my shoulders.

My health has improved wonderfully, aud the backache formerly a constant companion, is now almost unknown; and another delightful point is I haven't had to sacrifice a single BOTIXK OB TOOK. There are just as many plaops for valoucienneB and fine needlework on the new garments as tho old." yhls was the verdict everywhere that the reporter visited. Contentment with the new rhj, first on account of its great superiority and tho one so long in vogue in point of healthfulness, and next becauso of its unique conservatism. As usual tho more intelligent the woman, the more determined to dress according to the laws ot good taste. THE EAST SIDE LANDS.

Aldermanic Protest against the Proposed Sale ParK Commissioner Strnnahan's Explanation low Prices" but No Sacrifice" Expected Throwing (lie Responsibility on the mayor ana Controller. Alderman Bowley has prepared the following resolution, which ho will offer in the Common Council at the earliest opportunity: Rttolved, That in the opinion of this Common Council it is inexpedient, in the present depressed condition of the real estate market, to offer for sale at public auction tho property known as the East Side Park Lands. And that tho Park Commissioners he, and they are hereby respectfully requested to take into consideration the postponement of such sale to a period oi greater financial prosperity. This morning a representative of the Eagle called upon Mr. Stranahan, President of the Park Commission, and handed him a copy of the above resolution for the purpose of ascertaining his viewB on the question.

After carefully reading the resolution, Mr. Stranahan said I fully agree with what the Alderman has set forth, and I shall endeavor to see him in order to ex plain some matters which I think he ought to be familiar with in respeot to this Bale. There is no doubt of the fact that prices are now very low, but the Bale will go on at the time already We expect the bidding will be very brisk, but prices will not bo high. I should explain, in connection with this Bale, that we have expended $300,000 in improving these lands; to raise that money we had to beoome personally responsible, not having tho legal power to Issue bonds. I myself became personally responsible for a large amount of that money.

Wo naturally ox pocted when the city took some of those bonds that the purchase price, $212,000, would be paid over to us, and thon we could have paid off this debt. But tho Mayor and Controller have decided that we are not entitled to that money they aay it must go into the sinking fund, and so as a matter of necessity we shall be obliged to sell the lands. Reporter At what time will that debt of $200,000 be due? Mr. Stranahan It ia already due it has been duo for some time now. Tho sale ia advertised for Tuesday, December lBt, and we really expect a large company to be present, and mainly for tho reason that it is expected that the property will sell at low rates.

We do not expect to sacrifice the property by giving it away, but it ia expected that the land will go at low rates. You understand, wo relied on getting that $212,000 from tho city in order to repay the money we had borrowed to improve these lands, ut the Mayor and Controller say we are not on titled to it, and that it must go into the sinking und. So active is that feeling against us, and so powerful is the opposition that is, the official power is so potent that we are compelled to sell the not simply to pay the debt that we have contracted for the Improvement of the land, bnt to save the proporty from still further and greater harm, and we do not know into what unfriendly hands It may fall PHILHARMONIC.
