OLD ST. GILES1 CATHEDRAL is a llttlo further on. Whon tho schisms rent tho churches, the owners of this placo of worship did tho very sensible thing of dividing It Into three places. Hore is the pulpit where John Knox used to thunder hard things ut tho head of conservative Scotchmen, until he became a great power lu the nation. His old house Is shown with reverence, and every association connected with his name id closely chorUhcd.

HOLYJlOOD PALACE lias had many a tragedy enacted within its historic walls. A secret staircase leads up to the room occupied by Queen Mary, where entered Darnluy's hirelings when they stubbed Itizzio before her very eyes. The bed, chairs, once used by this unfortunate lady, are still here, as aro somo pieces of her needlework. An immense amount of old armor and tho portraits of old Scottish sovereigns, aro scattered about. A portion of tho bulldlDg is still fittod up for Queen Victoria when she journeys through.

A trilling nll'air not over a couplcof million dollars of furniture and works of art kept from use. The chapel has never been repaired since soma of tho religious Iconoclasts battered in its roof. Hero are supposed to be buried King David JameB James Darnlcy, and any quantity of jovial old fellows, that, although kings, have not now the powor to prevent the boys from playing marbles upon their very faces. Museums, picture galleries, a water gymnasium, botanical garden, libraries, fountains, statues, arches, parks, public institutions and universities abound throughout tho city. Manchester, England, and Brooklyn, New Yorn, each bos 450,000 population.

Six hours was moro time than I could advautageously spend in Manchester, while six days would not satisfy one in Edinburgh, which contains lesB than half its population. What havo we to show a visitor in Brooklyn, or even New York What is there to tempt people of leisure and meins to linger at our hotels, purchase articles of luxury, give orders to our artiBto, and add to the wealth of our city When we have recommended our parks and Greenwood Cemetery, wo have exhausted our list of attractions. Why, there is more to be seon in llttlo Cork, Ireland, than in all Now York. Thero are fifty private residences surrounding any of these lesser cities that have each moro in the way of architecture, fences, hedges, grounds, flowers, fountains, conservatories, Btatuary, etc, than can be found on Manhattan Island. I presumo that thero ore twenty stores in Bond street aud a hundred tbroughout Loudon, any one of which has moro jewels and household silver than is to be found in all the stores in Philadelphia, New York and Boston.

You can't riae five minutes iu any of the3o cities but you will run against monument, a little park, a fountain, or something of beauty. I understand perfectly well that I hore look at the accumulation of centuries yet I also look at what is being added to day wfiat was added last year aud thj year before, and I recognize quite plainly that these pecplo look upon such attractions as a matter. They bring people to their towns aud they keep them there. The gradiug and laying out of all tue parks in England have not coat as much as we havo spent 111 Prospect Park yet there is not one of them wbicU has not more attractions and interest than ours. Wuero iro the swans that ought to swim in our lakes tho deer that should be fattening under those trees tbc fountains and statues which ought now to be raisiog thoir htadsiu appropriate places whoro tho beigiuuing of geological and botanical collections? They are not wanting because our peoplo have not tho means, or bciu ie thev cost any vast sum.

Taste and public spirit is what we are deficient in. Just suppose that we should get a free art gallery so that people would come 10 Brooklyn to Bee art; suppose that we should build a flue studio, and donate its use to artists, so that people wou'd come to Brooklyn to buy ivorks ot art suppose that others should build pretty villas, others ornimont our expand our libraries, etc. bow long would it be before Universities would rise, public monuments increase, institutions multiply and Brooklyn bo considered tbe place to reside in It docs not answer to icply that Brooklyn is overshadowed by New York, Wo hive country, space, drives, room for gardens, publij buildings, which New York has not. All Europe aud the traveling public go to little Dresden and Munich and FUrence and Nice to see art, to buy art aud to reside among people of cleganco and refinement. Brooklyn does not appreciate her ad vintages, she muft concentrate her municipal power upon one band, and make larger drafts upon individual nride upon the other.

Here it Is a popular thing when a man has secured an income sufficient to increase without further labor, for him to devote the surplus accumulation to improvement of his private and tue public estate, in the benefits of which all participate. If it be eaid that a gentleman in Brooklyn must have a high, close fence around his garden to preserve It from spoliation, I reply, let him unite with me in forming a city government that will render such things impossible. I almost think that the Queen could have her front door open in Buckingham Palace without fearing molestation, Depot grounds are here adorned with flowers which no one thinks of disturbing, and perhaps, first from fear of certain punishment, everything is generally safe and Becure. Britain's police hold their places during good behavior, there is no interference for political opinion, and there arc no friends to reward or felon9 to shield when their service is required. I could have the Lord Chamberlain arrested for ary misdemeanor just as easily as I could the match boy at tho corner.

I have just noticed in a recent copy of the Eagle a beautiful illustration of the wisdom of our city government in ordering that the numbers upon our houses shall be chaDged iu midsummer. It is quite well uu derstood that our people move on the first of May, and that a directory of names and residences is then published for tho ensuing year; yet your Common Council, instead of making it obligatory to havo the necessary numbering done before the first of May, a3 they sbojld have done, wait until your name and miue aro recor Jed for a year, aud then undertake to fiuo us if wo do not mako fools of ourselves. Fine gentlemen I prefer you should. My number sha'l stand until next directory day. Such a ridiculous advertising exhibition of a want of sense could not exist under auy other government but ours.

The sermon was mainly doctrinal; closing, however, with an excellent and truthful tribute to the many good qualities of the deceased, who, he said, 6tood iu need of no flattery, and of whom the truth could be told without fear, so pure was his life. The Kev. Doctor, out of courtesy to Dr. Cuyler, who has long been Mr. Hoxie's pistor, refrained from saying all that might be said, or all that his heart prompted him to say, that the way might bo clear for his reverend colleague.

Rev. Dr. Eddy, of the Church on tho Heights then pronounced tho benediction, and tho friends came forward for a last look at tho departed, and old eyes from which it seemed tho tear font had dried long Since, wero suffused as they saw him cold in death. The caBket was covered with sweet flowers, tuberoses, formed into three crowns surmounted with crosses, and one largo cross which lay upon the lid. Their fragrance was intense, filling the room for eome distance lrom the altar.

Tho pall bcarers then raised the casket and bore it forth to the hearse which waited to convey it to Greenwood, the last earthly resting place of "old JooHoxio." Tho sad office was filled by Messrs. Francis Skiddy, James Stuart, Luther B. Wyman, Nathaniel Hayden, Richard Thorne, Caleb Bnrstow. Among the attendants were many of tho oldest merchants or retired merchants and citizens of New York and Brooklyn. Mr.

John Lovcridge, ninety three years of age, Mr. John Allen, a retired shipbuilder, full of years, and others.

LOCAL POLITICS. Eleventh Ward Democratic club.

A regular meeting of this organization took place at tbe rooms, No. 10 Do Kalb avenuo, lastovening. Tfie Prcrident of the Association, Mr. P. J.

Walsh, occupied the chair. After the reading of the minutes of tho last some discussion took place as to the name of the organization, when Mr. O'Connor explained that the Asaocla lion had been heretofore known as the Young Meu's Democratic Club, but, as this appeared to make a distinction, it was (bought proper to drop it, and simply to be known as a Democratic club. An attempt was mado lo chango the title of tne Association to the "Regular Democratic Club," but this wuo effectually combated, aud the minutes were finally adopted. The Chairman of tho Committee on the Boom re porlrd tbol tney bad engauedtlio Im'l in wbioli tho As fociaiion wub, and thut tlin proprielor, a Democrat had inloinicd tuo Club that it wasut ihoir Hervieo us long as they ehoso 1 0 occupy it.

To tho north of tho Clyde, extending from tho west coast of Scotland to.ncar Its eastern Bhore, aro a Beries of hills, mountaiLB and lakes as pretty, grand and varied in scenic effect, and as sublimely interesting iu their national and legendary hfBtory as any country upon the face of the earth. It was here that Bruce and Wallace, Douglass and McGregor, Fitz James and Boderlck Dhu sounded their bugles and led their elans it was here that Bob Roy marshaled Ui3 brigands and laid tributo upon those who refused to acknowledge his power; it was here that the haughty Ellen Douglass re luscd the hand of Dhu, to whom she said: Bather through realmB beyond the sea, Seeking tbe world's cold charity Where ne'er was spoke a Scottish word, And ne'er the name of Douglass heard An outcast pilgrim will she rove Than wed the man she does not love." It was here from whence Burns drank his poetic inspiration, and from whence Scott obtained tho material for the "Lady of the Lake," and tho "Bride of Lammer moor," and It is from among these lakes, with old Ben Ledt's towering side looking down upon me, that I now write. Few tourists take the time to viBit all those Lakes or Lochs as they are here called for thoy are numerous and cover a vast extent of country.

I am not an excep. tion. Tho principal are, Loch Long, Loch hirnoud, Loch Katrine, Loch Tay, Loch Awo and Loch Levin. The mountains ore all called "Ben's," the prlucipal of which rise from 3,000 to 3,200 feet high, and are, Ben Lomond, Ben Arran, Ben Moore, Bon Venue, Ben Lsdl, and Ben Cochan, LONG DAYS. June and July aro tho months to travel in a Northern latitude.

Those who have not visited Labrador or James' Bay will hardly believe me, when I inform them that wo cm read the newspapors out of doors until ten o'clock at night, and again as early aa two in the morning. Yet this is a fact. I was entertained the other night by a friend near Glasgow, who kept us talking upon the front porch and pointing out objects across the Clyde, long after I wished an invitation to retire. On tbe 25th of June, tho sun rises in GlaBgow at 3.31 andEets at 9,03, or a suu light of seventeen hours and thirty two minutes, A most striking peculiarity results from this, in the lengthened dawns and twilights. Upon bright days and nights which seldom occur, there are but two and a half hours real night, indeed there is none at alL At St.

Petersburgb, only three hundred miles further North, you can reid all night. Of course tho winter days are correspondingly shorii tho buu rising on 1st of Jauuary at 8.51 and BOttiuj at 3.42, without auy dawn or twilight. Remember that wo are iu parallel fiC. about niuo hundred miles north of New York. THE HIGHLAKD3.

We steam down tho Clyde, with umbrellas and light overcoats, on a fast pleasure boat, which, like all tho beats here, has no cabin or upper covering, and pass a succession of villages aud country villas, with hills swelling into mountains in tho background, inakiug most lovely scenery. We enter Loch Long amid similar scenery to Arroachar, take stage through a deep mountain pass of exceeding beauty, threo miles, to Loch Lomond. Here wo again take a boat, pass several old castles and romantic dwellings, among them one where lived Smollett, tho historian, and author of Humphry Ciincker'' a book which I do not advise any one to read. Hero are the ruins of a castle which was once the stronghold of the Duke of Lenox, opposite to which is Mount Misery. It was iu this vicinity that Sir Walter Scott took his notes for the tale of "Bob Roy." Then comes the Pass of Balmaha, Where kept our strongest kerns in awe, Even at the Pass of Balmaha." We land at Inversnaid, and stage eight iuilc3 to LOCH KATEINE, passing Bob Hoy's Cave, where ho concealed his clansmen, and from which he issued Mb order: If they rob me of name and pursue mo with beagle', Give their roof to the flames and their flesh to the eagles.

Bob Boy is buried atBalquidder, a few miles distant. Bruco bIbo occupied the same cavern before the Buttle of Bannockburn. Next comes ellek's isle. (Ellen Douglass,) the Lady of the Lake. It is a most romantic spot on which the haughty chieftain sou ght to keep the lovely girl from the sight of men.

Like Hinda'a turret there was a way to reach it. Walled in by two mountains it seems to slcsp in poetry. It wao upon tho opporite shore where Fitz James in his wooings lost his way, and where Scott makes him say: "I am alone, my bugle strain May call some straggler to my train." Ellen heard the notes of tho hunting horn and found means to get to him. I presume her pa was obnent. Our boat lands at the foot of the ike between rockT too narrow to allow it to turn round and we are in tho TROSCACns, otherwise "Bristled Territory." On the left is Bon Venue, 3,000 feet high on tho right "Ben Avon heaves bis forehead bare" 1,800 feet into the sky.

Between theso two mountains through which Cromwell was compel'cd to retire, not being able to work his way through, is now mado our slage road. It was hero also that Fitz James encoun tered Roderick Dhu. and from whence occurred the memorable passage, "Come one, come etc." Everything throughout this delightful section is alive with Scotch and Scotch romance. The double deck Btagta are striped iu tartan, aud (hey and the Like boats rejoice in the names of Boo Boy, Lady 0." tho Lake, Holen McGregor, Boderlck Dhu, Clan Alpln, Scottish Chief, Balquidder, Ellen etc. Scotch heather is upon the mountain side and tbe laurel is ever presont.

Wo aro agaia in a stage and work our way tnrough tho lips and downs of the pass follow the Bides of Loebs Achery and Vanacher to Calender, a beautiful little village, where we strike the railroad and emerge into level country. A few miles further carry us to MiisJ STIBLTNG 0A8TLTT, in which yet stand the palace of James and Mary of Guise, and whore has been enaotod much that enters into the history of Scotland. Ncir this, is the battlefield of Bannockburn when Bruce with hardy Scotch warriors defeated King Edward with 100,000 men. Thirty miles more and we are at EDINBTJBGH. Of tbis city bow shall I speak? In stability, grandeur, architecture, art, history and reunenent it probably has not its equal at this time upon either hemisphere.

Here is tho old castlo Edinburgh quite in tho center of the tity, 403 feet to the top of tho rock upon which it stands, covering seven acre3 and approachable but upon one side. Leading to it, upon the narrow tongue of land which gradually elovates from the level of tho city to tho height of the castle; is old Canon street, with stone buildings (all buildings aro granite here) five to seven stories high, the rears of whioh commenco lower down the hill, and present six to nine storieB. Adjoining this rocky rear, is a straight park about an eighth of a mile wide and a mile long. Facing this park upon the other Bide is Princess street, the principal street of the city, whereon aro located the hotels and many pub. lie buildings.

As we look from our window across the park upon the terraces of buildings increasing in altitude and ending by tho battlements on the old castlo to the right by daylight, or twinkle of gas jets in the street, tho park and the distant windows at evening, wo receive impressions which aro poetic, grand and sublime beyond expression. The left or lower end of the street closes in with fine buildings upon both sides, crossing tho "Waverly' brook and ends abruptly against Carlet on hill, 160 feet high, upon the top of which, and immediately facing the Btreet is a building exactly resembling the Parthenon at Athens. In the park aro numerous monuments, tbe most prominent of which is that of Sir Walter Scott. It is an open Gothic cross 130 feet high, covering with its groined arch a colossal statue of the poet. The niches aro filled with subjects taken from his works.

Beautiful and chaste in every rospoct. It was iu Edtnbur gh that Scott had hiB town residence. Byron's mother, Lord Brougham, John Knox, Hume, Wallace and Burns all residca here by turns. Each still live in monument3 of stone. Returning to the OASTLB which has a record back to the year 800, but which has had accessions during the different dynasties down to tho time of tho confederation with England, tvhen it was stipulated that it should bo kept as a place in which to preserve Scotch antiquities and emblems of national grandeur.

We pass through gateB where many have passed never toreturn. I was In the room where Queen Mary was immured for threo years where she gave birth to King James VI. of Scotland the First of England. From the window of this little room he was lowered in a basket 290 feet to the ground, when ho was eight doyB old. Here arc old crown insignia found by Scott when searching for history by an order from Parliament.

Here is old Fogg's from which is derived the name or "Old Fogies." Thore a little chapel, ten by fifteen feet, the oldo st in Sco land. Here is where tho Queen used to walk there a dungeon in which seditious kings and princes wero confined and there the placo where many a royal head has fallen into a basket. I try to bo brief ln those references they ure not descriptionsfor every inch has a separate history and evory year for centuries back has its chapter. It is full of in terest everywhere. Hero is the old cannon Mons.

Meg" so large that my littlogirl could si: In its muzzle' There is a guD which is fired precisely at 12 o'clook each day by electricity, from tho Obsorvatory, a mils away Bight hero is an old sewer, 300 foet down, through which a poor fellow managed to oscapo after lourteuu years' incarceration iu a dungeon. He had earuod hh freedom, but was caught, brought back and had his head cat off fur his audacity. There opens an old tup room, which leads down through the rocks to a Hubtorranean passage connecting this castlo with Holyrood Castle over a mile away. On our way down town we enter tho OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE, which is now called Advocate's Hall. Each Judge wears wig and gown peculiar to his station, while every barrister must do ihe.samc, A young lawyor, not over twenty five, was nddressing tho court with the dignity of a Itoman senator, and the air of an Adonis.

This kind of toggery looks badly to us free and easy people, but I am inclined to believe that a little more attention than we bestow upon forms and ceremonies would not Inltiro our manners. I have hoard a great deal about John Bull's airs and exclu eivenese. universal experience has been that wherever a gentleman Is approached as a gentleman should be, thero Is a moasured politeness and cordiality of bearlnc which wo never moct fn America, The Courts ro arranged around different wings of this magnificent building, with wldo, clean lODoiea connecting.

Guck Who is it direclod to? The Clerk This is dircded to John Mcflroarty Aid. Guck What has this Board to do with a writ directed to John McGroai ty? The Clerk said the original writ was directed to each member ot tbe Board. Tho writ was then read and Aid. Whiting offered the following resolution: HesolveU. That the Counsellor for the corporation be, and he is hereby directed to make the proper application to the Court for the appointment of commissioners and to take all such further legal steps as he may deem necessary and proper to carry the improvement of North Thirteenth street and Pratt street into effect, in accordance with chapter 50T of the laws of 1809.

Aid. Nolan I have not been served with a copy of the and three or four other members havo not been served. I have no doubt whatever but that it has been issued by the Supreme Court, and the Court Is but carrying out the law, but, for all that, it is an unjust law. The parties who got that law passed are not now willing to do what they offered to do when the Legislature was in session, and now they want the peoplo of the Eastern District to pay tho expense of opening the street. The person who got that act oaBsed by tho Legislature did not consult the Interests of the people of the Eastern District he consulted the interests of private individuals.

Aid. Whiting I do not intend to controvert anvthing which has been said by the gentleman from the Fourteenth Ward, lor everything he has said may bo truo. Wo are all aware thatarguinent will not serve us; and I offered teat ri solution oecause I was commanded to do so by the Court tho law is very explicit about tbe matter. We could with propriety decline to tako auy action in the matter until the Court issued its but now I do not see that any course is open to us except to obey tho commands of the Court. Aid.

Guck The'question is just this, is the Common Council coinpt lled lo voto upon this when they havo not hud any copy of the mandamus? I ask that question oi tbePrcsident, lor I would like to beset right aui.ut that matter. Aid. Bergen All that I can say is that I have been served with a copy. Aid. Waiting I did not propose to aid iu serving the maiidamus wben I asked tuat it miht be read, but as il wis been read I suppose it is to all intents and purposes tbe same as if it had been served on every moin btt Aid.

Nolan If it is not oompnlsory to servo every individual member of the Board, how is it that just about one half of the members hive beon served. I am of opinion that it is their duty to serve each individual member of the Board with a copy of tne mandam is. The President declined to express auyopiuion in regard to ihe matter, aud a volo was taken on tho adoption 1 1 the rt EolutioD. Aid. BemeD.

in explanation of his vote, said: I shall vote "aye" because toe Court has directed mo to do so. The Couit has issued tho in imUmus and served me with a copy tf it, and I cannot therefore do otherwise than vote fn the afhrmattve. Alo. Cunnintrham I have not ben served with a copy of the mandamus, and as I believo this thing to be a very great wrone, I shall tlierefore votu "no," in the absf uce of any special information about tbe matter.

Whiting I would like to know whether it is the intention of the Alderman from the Ninth to appoint Ibis mini as Pound Muster of the Ninth Ward.

Aid. McGroarty There is no Pound, and, therefore, there is no necessity for a Pound Muster. I shonld think Hint is a sufficient answer. Aid. Wtuitng itisnotaaufflcient answer, for it has been relerred to tne Aldermen of tho to wards to indicate a locality.

There is no necessity to rcscittd tt'is resolution. If it is simply to lucorporato tho dominion ef the Ninth in the Twenty first Ward, it cin bo done by a simple resolution. doclaHps that tu is man shall be the Pound Master of the Ninth as w.dl the Tweuly Orst Ward. Tne gen. "'o ooen ttus matier thisman is buck; there is the key to the whole problem.

Aid. Clancy Is ho a Democrat? (Laughter.) Aid. Whiting Naturally, ho is. am McGroaTty i'wottld correct the statement of tbo Twenty firit by stating that this is oue of the leading Hepublicaus of the Twenty 11 TirVhiting It is simply because he is a black mt that this effort is made to put htm out of this I Sbohi office. Now I stand here to protest 2 a' such action on the part of tins Board.

If it i th ng had been attempted beforo our recent war, en lThonld not have beon surprised it would have en strictly In order. But since the war, and since he ifliuiou that has followed tho war I am sur nrUo that after the nation has conceded that black men ive rights that white men are bound to respect, hat in his Common Council, after a man has Dcen annVinted, and when it conceded that he is in every fitted to ail it, thatan attempt should be made to oust him from his office, simply because he is a black man In this district, for which this pound is ap nointed there ore hundreds of blackmen. In the two SrJt there aro hundreds of black voters, and I am mrn Airman or tKinth had blundered Into this thing, ho did not allow tho blnnder to remain. Aid. MeGroarty.

I wish to ca 1 the gentleman to order I was not alone in thte matter, every Democrat the Board, as well bb myself, voted for him. Aid Whiting. Well then, every other Democratic momber of tbo Boud thought he knew what kind of man he was putting in as Pound Master. Now ho asks hat they shall share in his blunder, now he asks that they shall declare that the man is ineligible to fl0 inalg niflcant an office as this because he Is a black man, and that tbey shall publish themselves to the world as blunderersthat 1b a very mild term to apply to it. 1 did not know whether this man was black or white, but' it is 'a faot that men are appointed to offlco and some of them by this Common council is ono or a Bmall numbor of mon who are always roady with a bUrlosquo rendering of ovory Bobor theme just as Mr.

naclv. On the northeast corner of Pearsall and Bergen streets, near Fulton avenue, a now Station House for the Tenth Precinct pollco Is being erected. Tho brick, stone and iron work have all been finished, the timbers laid and tho roof put on. Moat of tho i aside woodwork remainB to be done, but as that ia generally Blow work, the building will probably not be ready for occupation before December. A new Station House was very much needed in the Tenth Preoinoi, and Captain Cassidy may congratulate vhimse)f that it will bo second to none in accommodations and appearance.

It will very muoh resemble tho Third Precinct Station House in Butler street. The now Station House Is erected on one half of four full lots of ground, and consints of a main building for official accommodation and general business, and an extension for prisoners and lodgerB. The main building is fifty feet front on Pearsall street, and sixty feet deep on Bergen street it is of brick with Iron trimmings, three stories In height, and combines beauty with solidity in remarkable degree. The height from the ground 1b fifty feet. The front and gable end bricks are of the Philadelphia style, and the iron trimmings over the doors and windows are arched.

Through the centre is a party wall, rendering it firm and strong. The basement wilt bo used for storing fuol, aud 83 a drying room for the officers' clothing. On tho first floor, to tho left, will be the general office, a private office, bath room, closet and stairway. To tho right willho the Captain's offlco and bedroom, Sorgeaut's and doormen's rooms. On tho second floor there will be a silting room for the men, roundsmen's room, bath room, etc.

The third floor will contain throe sleopins rooms for the men, with ample closet room. Tho inside trimmings will bo principally of pine. There will be plenty of gas and wator, and tho voitila tion will bo excellent, as there aro windows on all foUi Bides of the building. In the rear is an oxtcntion 32x33 feet, the first floor of which contains five cells for prisoners, and the second floor two rooms for lodgers, one for females and the other for males. A cell is provided in each of the latter for disorderly lodgers.

The cells are securely built, and will be light and airy, doubtless much more so than their occupants. The entire cost of the Station House will be about $20,000. The architects aro Taylor and Stryker carpenter, P. Murphy; mason, 11. J.

Lowery plumbers, Pelle treau Ilawkes. A NEW LIVERY AND BOARDING STABLE of the most approved style, is about being finished on the southeast corner of Clinton and Degraw streets. Messrs. White Shaurman the former being the present County Clerk, and the latter ex Commiajion crof Jurors are the proprietors. The building was planned by Gen.

Shaurman, and erected under his personal supervision. It is of brick, three stories iu height, and has a front of sixty feet on Clinton street and a depth of ninety feet on Degraw street. Both outwardly and inwardly it is one of the neatest, substantial, and commodious stables in the city. The basement extends tlicentire lengthortho building, and is ten feet high, and lias an urea way under the sidewalk of five and six feet in width. There are in it stalls for forty eight horses.

A runway for taking horses to the lloor above is constructed outside. The first story is thirteen feet high, and will bo used principally for vehicles. On the northwest corner there is a large businesB office. There is a storo in the rear, with an entranco on Degraw street, which will ho very suitable for a harness or feed siore. A runway for horses extends inside to the lloor above.

Tho second story is eleven feet high, and contains ten full stalls, and thirty sinale stalls. All the stalls aro built ia tho most improved style, with iron guards, feed bole3, and hay racks. There is a harnoss room on this floor, over the office. The arrangements for washing and drainiug aro excellent, tho floor being made water tight, and provided with a drain extending tho whole length. The third Btory Is nine feet, six inches high, and vril be used for storing feed and spare vehicles.

The roof is of gravel, felt and tar, and is the work of the Brooklyn Roofing Company, of which Mr. P. Bunker, of tho CitizenB' Gai Light Compony, is the leading man. The water proof floor on tho second floor, was done by the same Company. There is a hoisting apparatus from the first to the third floor.

There are closets tor the use of to put their coats, whips, Dlanliets, in. The walls aro sixteen and twelve inches thick, wid heavy iron columns and pine girders aro used In the lower stories. The entranco on Clinton street will only bo used for driving in and out. Horses will bo led in and oui of the side door on Degraw street, which will also be used for other purposes. The total cost of the laud and building will bo about tso.ooo.

It will probably be tho 1st of October before it will be ready for occupation. All of tho outside work, except the smal steeple, has been finished, and the corrugated sheet iron is now being put on the inside. When that is dono tho seats put in, and painting done, the edifice wll1 be finished. Tho appearance, both outside and inside, is now, and will continue to be, more llko a concert hall than a church, the plan of architecture being radically differ ent throughout from that of othor churches, and in keeping with that of concert halls. It is calculated that tho acoustic properties of the auditorium will be excellent, and if the reverberations of the workmen's bammerB are an indication, such will be tho case.

If tho eloquence of the preacher should fail to draw large congregations to this new edifice, curiosity will, for it is something entirely new fn tho church line in this City of Churches. It has been heretofore fully described in the Eagle from the architect's plans. THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE. Progress of tne WorkBorings on tbc New Yorli SideThe Interior of the Caisson. The work on the East Biver Bridge is pro gressing Btetdlly, and is now thoroughly systematized.

At Pier 29, on the Nw York side of the river, borings have boan going on with a view to locate the western pier of the Bridge. A derrick was rigged precisely lik those employed In the oil regions for sinking wells, and the proper machinery was set in motion. The first boring was made about ten years ago, when depth of 107 feet was reached before a good rock foundation was obtained. Two othor holes were sunk lately, and in each of the latter instances the bed rock was reached at about eighty feet. The nature of the soil was muoh no wis expected; a thick stratum of blaok mud was first pierced, thence the boring tool passed through sand and gravel, mixed with occasional bouldors until the bed rock was reached.

On this bed rock the caisson 1b to rest. The land has been purchased by the Company, and operations will commence aa soon as proper arrangements can be offeoted with tho Ferry Company, which at present occupies the dock, and one of whoso slips will be required to enable tho Bridge Company to proiecnto their work. On the Brooklyn side men aro as buoy as bees, and the caisson, and the whole of the yard, iB swarming with them. Two courses of stone have been laid already upon the caisson, each of two feet in thickness, or four feet ln all. The stone is of superior quality, and is set in the best of cemont.

Under the constantly increasing weight, the caisson is gradually sinking to its permanent bed. All tho heavy work around the caisson is dons by steam. Three tall derricks are mounted on its top, and these by their long swinging arms command every part of its surface. By them the heavy stones, some of them five fcot long, three feet wide, and two feet thick, aro placed in position, and all heavy objects are moved from place to place when necessary. Each one is supplied with a steam engine, and all that the men have to do Is to direct this force.

In the interior of the caisson, on the river bod, the excavation is going on regularly, and tho caisson is being sunk at the rate of about three inches every day. The presence of large and numerous bouldors interferes considerably with the rapidity of the operations, but all such difficulties are surmounted by time and patience. At present there aro four large onos direotly under the Bhoe of the caisson, and these must bo got rid of or (ho caisson will not sink. Itwillnotanswertoblasl. Therefore when tho bouldor is too large to handle whole, it is split into pieces of convenient size and then removed to tho surface.

A row of holes are drilled along tho intended lino of fracture, and into these Bmall wedges ore driven, and tho stone is Bpeedily split. At present, three shifts of about eighty men eich are at work insidu tho caisson. These work jr eight hours each, with an interval of an hour for dinner. All kinds of stone navo been met with in the oour30 of the excavation, which indicates that they are the result of drill, and have been brought here from points perhaps many hundred miles distant. Complaint of Sesidents.

A deputation of the Eighth Ward property owners waited on the Water Board this morning, to protost against the long delay in the paving of Third avenue from Seventeenth Btreet to Twonly fonrth Btreet. It seems that in the course of building tho Third avenue sower the pavoment was taken up last Spring. When the sower had been laid the contractor replaced tbe dirt in the exoavation, and the City Railroad Company restored their traok to the Btreet, bat tho contraotor did not roplaoo the street pavement between the tracks and on eaah side of it. The ground of his refusal is understood to be that tho Bailroad Company havo set their tracks at too high a grade. Meanwhile, tbe Inhabitants had found their street impassable ever since April, and they are afraid, if tho Water Board do not exert themselves quickly to decide tho confllot between the contractor and tbo Bailroad Company, that nothing will be dono until it ia too Ute to' replace the pavement before Wintor.

Weekt There is not a family of colored people within three quarters of a mile of the placo. Aia. wniiing it is evident mat tne Alderman of the Ninth is going It blind on the location. Aid. Clancy There is no location.

Aid. WhitingThere is a serious aspect to this subject. I do not ask that the man shall be appointed because bo is black, but I do ask that no man shall bo turned out because he is a black man. He has the Bams rights under the law that we have, and it would bo a shame for tbis Common Council at tbis date if there could be found a majority to exclude a man from office merely because he iB black. I am assured by the Alderman from the Twenty Brst that ho ia a very competent man, and there ia no reason why he should be removed from biB ploce.

I move as an amendment that T. Aqnilla, Pound Master of tbo Twenfy flret Ward be also appointed Pound Master of the Ninth Ward. Aid. McGroarty When I offered this resolution I did it simply because I was requested to do so by the Alderman of the Twenty first, and he knows that it will create trouble in that section of the city if it is not rescinded. He certainly, played a very smart game at that time.

Aid. Whiting withdrew his amendment when the explanation was given that a Pound Master was not required in the Jiiuth Ward, there being no pound there. Aid. Clancy moved that the whole subject be laid on the tabic. Lost.

A motion that the Alderman of the Ninth appoint a Pound Master for his ward wan al lost. The queaiun was then taken on the motion offered by Alderman McGroarty, that the resolution appointing T. Aqnilla, Pound Master of the Twenty first Wnrd be rescinded. The motion was lost. The Board then adjourned until the 3tith of September.

JDcatb of an Xrioli Patriot. The death, at Prague, of Laurence Duffy, a companion of Smith O'Brien, of Irish revolutionary fame, has revealed a strange history. Since 1S50, Dully bas been a teacher of the English language in that city, living in a miserably furnished house, and, as everybody thought, poverty stricken. In the commencement of April be was taken to the hospital, aud feeling that his end was approaching, he called a carriage, drove to a notary and had him como into the vehicle to takedown his testament. He there willed two thousand florins to the advocate as his executor, two thousand florins to his physician, and twenty thousand florins to his sister in Ireland.

He then drove back to tho hospital, where he died about an hour later, sixty three years old. Ilia rooms were found to be very dirty, with scarcely any farattare. In an old sack, however, were found a number of letters of great interest from Mazzini, Garibaldi, the chiefs of the Irish movement, and many from Smith O'Brien. From these letters it is seen how hard pressed Smith O'Brien wbb by the constables toward tho last how, when ho fled to tho hills, the peasants feared to give him shelter how he, not wishing to bring injury upon them, determined to go down totbe plain, in company with Duffy. He was just about to enter a railroad car when he was arrested.

Duffy endeavored to shield his friend, but the pistol of a policeman pointed at him brought him to silence. Smith O'Brien was taken by a numerous escort to Dublin. Duffy, however, escaped, fled to tho Contiueut, and lived over twenty years of his life iu Prague. SPORTS ANT) PASTIMES. Base Ball.

Superintendent Jourdan has gone South in search of new health and the Now York Commissioners have adopted a new shield for tho police. Everybody will hope for tho best rosults from those actual and contemplated improvements, but in the meantime tho introduction of somo other now things would not he inexpedient. A little new vigor in the prevention of crime and tho arrest of criminals and a little now dotoctivo skill would increase public confldenco in publio safety, and make Now York more inhabitable than it now is. A Paris telegram says that tho American ambu lances going to the front tho othor day attracted much attention by the porf ection of their arrange ments. It is satisfactory to know that Amorican skill is employed in mitigating tho horrors of war rather than in devising instruments for its mur dorous prosecution.

American ambulances at the scat of war, instead of American rifles and can non, ought to bo symbolical. Such humane intervention in European affairs is tho only kind we shoidd covet. Any othor complications are pretty sure to result in "entangling aUiance3." It will not oscapo observation that, while the theatrical managers mako vigorous war on tho speculators who sell tickets on the sidewalks, they do not attempt to interfere with the speculators who sell tickots at the hotels and other public places, although tho latter, no less than the for mer, hold tho most oligible seats and ehargo an additional price for them. What is tho reason of this discrimination? Are tho managers in partnership with the ticket offices That will be the conclusion of theatre goei in tho absence of any other explanation. If the speculation nuisance is to be abated it ought to be abated thoroughly and without favoritism.

Between extor tion on the sidewalk and extortion tho hotels the public has no choice The Labor Congress which adjourned yotorday was a singularly comprehensive convention. After oxhausting tho science of political oconomy, disposing of the most intricato questions of financial administration, and providing for a new national party, it pronounced judgment on tho lino and staff rank controversy in tho navy. How the atomic theory and the doctrine of evolution es caped its attention will probably novor bo satis factorily explained. It was about to address itself to a radical discussion of roligiou, and a member, one Sergo, introduced tho subject by proposing to dispouso with prayor at futuro as tho hour of adjournment had arrived and tho weary delegates wero anxious to got home, tho resolu tion was tabled. When a Japanese "All Right" or a girl trapezist hazards life and limb in perilous exploits, gaping crowds gather and applaud.

It. is only whon nocka and ribs are broken that tho public becomes suddenly alivo to tho wickedness of training young children for useless and demoralizing perform ances. A Poughkeopsie hoy named Bird, thirteen years old, is now put forward as tho champion aeronaut, lie has mado fifty ascensions and ex pects to eros3 tho continent, and perhaps tho ocean, presently. The press and tho pooplo pat him approvingly, and encourago him to persist in bis dangerouB oxieriments. Somo day Bird's balloon will collapse and himself bo crushed.

Thon a cry of horror will go up, and there will bo an indignant' demand for laws to protect children against the foolhardy and mercenary enterprises of their parents and guardians. Tho Cuban General W. A. C. Ryan has arrived at New York, "on a mission of tho very greatost importance to tho struggling Republic." To tho non military mind what now sooms to be of tho very greatest importance to Cuba is that all her defenders, from general officers down, or up, to should he at tho tont, fighting to drive tho Spaniards into tho sea before tho coming of tho expeetod reinforcomonts of 15,000.

But of courso civilians aro incompetent to form an accurate judgment of tho situation. General Ryan is warmly commended for the splendid skill with which ho accomplished his retreat to the Unitod States, in tho faco of tho roward of 820,000 which DeRodas is so flush of "Spanish gold" as to offer for his person. Tho strategy developed in tho employment of a small rowboat or canoe" and a fishing smack," in ef fecting Ryan's connection with, bis base of opera tions in Now York, surpassed anything recantly dono in the neighborhood of Motz. It is a pity for tho French army that Bazaine had not been provided with rowboats, canoes and fishing smacks. Encouraged by Ryan's arrival, the Sun thunder ously wants to know you know why Bancroft Davis is not removed.

Tho movements of Dr. Ru3sell, since his en gagement as special correspondent of a New York paper was announced, have boon enveloped in mystery, but ho is at last hoard from. Ho is dis tributing himself impartially over Paris and Ver dun. His dispatches "by cable" aro mado up chiefly of his opinions, which aro much more im portant than facta according to his own estimate, whatever the public may think. Tho value of the news" he sends is too obvious to call for re mark.

He says that tho Emperor is dead, and also that ho has escaped from Prance statements fullycontradicted since the date of his telegrams, some of which are twelve days old. He adds that "the Empress has appliod for permission to cross through Belgium" a ridiculous supposition. If she ingoing alone as a fugitive what permission is needed If she wero going at the head of a corps of soldiers tho application would bo absurd. Tho concluding words of tho Doctor aro significant and hopeful for Franco. Ho says: "I shall try to reach Bazaine." If he only succeeds Bazaine may consider himself safe.

In view of alt this, tho Sun again asks why Bancroft DaviB iB not re moved. A curious case of malignant piety is reported in Indiana. Miss Lizzie Banker, of Bichmond, in that State, was engaged to be married to Milton Bireley a person of large matrimonial experience and facility, who has had four wives, variously disposed of by methodB not mentioned. At the time appointed for his latest wedding Bireley, instead of awaiting the arrival of Lizzie, concluded after a brief delay that she had changed her mind, and with remarkable promptitude secured vengeance upon her and consolation for himself by espousing another woman, who had come to witness tho ceremony Lucinda Morrison. But Lizzie had not changed her mind.

She had been detained by railroad irregularity and arrived at tho church juat after the marriage had been perfected. Sho listened bo quietly to the offered explanation that tho false lover and his accomplico in treachery supposed thoy were forgiven. This belief was strengthened when Lizzie ox claimed, Let us pray and all fell upon their kooes. Then did the betrayed betrothed calmly pour forth what was more liko Lear's curse than a devout supplication or thanksgiving. She prayed for herself and for powor to bear her humiliation, but her successful rival was tho subject of most earnest appeal: "Have mercy on this new wife.

While I thank Thee, God, for my deliverance from such a fickle husband, from such a pitiable creature, I would ask Thy blessing upon his poor wife. Give her grace to bear tho affliction of such a husband. Keep him from drink, and may he become a bettor man. Watch over me, our Fathor, and preserve me from over again approaching so nearly to utter ruin. Give me strength to return to my home and preserve my sex from such men." Lizzie is certainly entitled to recognition as an extraordinary female parson "one of the moBt romarkablo women in tho country, sir." Sho ought to bo exalted from the obscurity of a private station to tho pedestal of tho platform.

In the sories of battles which on Thursday last the Prussian losses seem to have been enormous; the Ki'ag, referring to them says, in words 'which bto kingly that he shriuks from learning them. The French snffered only less severely.

Bazaine has sought protection for his army in and around Mote. Tho Prussians have marched their army in the three columns up to this time. In view of the recent losses two of these divisions appears to have been consolidated, and are opposed to Bazaino's arniv at Metz. Meanwhile the Crown Priuce, at the head of his forces, estimated to number between one hundred and fifty and two hundred thousand men who have yet suffered little are reported as marching toward Paris. HacMa hon, who has successfully eluded his antagonists, is reported in command of the forces which have been gathering at Chalons for weeks past.

He has one of two courses open to him. Either to try the issue of a battle with the Crown Prince, or seek to effect a movement in connection with Bazaine against the forces under command of Prince Frederick Charles and General Steinmetz. The Piussians have taken tho risk of effectually dividing their armies. A month ago this movement would have been characterized as inspired by madness, but the turn of fortune being in favor of the Prussiaus, they seem inclined to Like what may be called fearlal chances. The French forces have now an opportunity of retrieving their vrauing forlunes.

They are fighting gallantly it remains to be seen, once for all, if in the present contingency their generals are at all a match for tho Prussian chiefs who Ecem so confident of bucccss that they are willing to take desperate risks on their ability to secure it. News of great and decisive movements mav be expected any moment. The Mayor's Veto of tue Proposed Ex. tension of tbo Water Works. Mayor Kalbfieisch's veto of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Aldermen, providing for an increase of the water supply of the city, was officially presented last evening.

The action taken by the Mayor was known unofficially several weeks ago, and the subject in the meantime has provoked considerable discussion. As the Mayor bases his veto solely on the ground that the subject has not been considered and discussed sufficiently by the Aldermen and the press, the object aimed at in the veto has been already in great part secured. Tho main points in the case can be very readily comprehended. Tho first question to be disposed of is, do we need at this time to provide for increasing our supply of water? If not, then the policy favored by the Mayor, and most heartily endorsed by all good citi Eens of deferring all expensive undertakings until we get through with those wo have on hand should most assuredly prevail. The facts in support of an affirmative answer to this question are these.

The ponds from which Brooklyn now obtains its water supply, yields a little less than twenty millions of gallons daily in the dryest season of the year. It was not of course expected, when the water works were constructed, that this amount would suffice for Brooklyn for very many years, and hence the covered conduit then constructed is capable of conveying to the city forty million gallons of water daily. Twenty millions of gallons daily was the estimated need of Brooklyn for a period of about twenty years from the time water was introduced. The population of tho city has increased in a greater ratio than was anticipated, and the consumption of water has more thau kept pace with tho increase of population, owing tothe increase of manufacturing establishments, and the general introduction of water into bouses constructed prior to the completion of the water works. Hence we are brought face to face with tho question of increasing our water supply three or four years sooner than was anticipated when the works were designed.

The question is virtually narrowed down to one of facts and figures. The engineers in charge of the works notify us that the maximum consumption ot Ridge wood water now reacheB twenty million gallons daily. The minimum supply of the ponds is less than twenty millions. "We are therefore now using all the water at our disposal. Judging from the past growth of the city, the maximum consumption next year will reach twenty two millions of gallons daily, or in other words, in July, August and Septem ter of next year we will require more water than the pends now under contribution yield at the dryest season of the year the season the consumption is greatest.

If we consider the water iu tho Ridge wood Reservoir simply as a reserve, to be called upon when the ponds are at their lowest, it would make good a deficiency in the supply of the ponds, in 1871, for about fifty days; in 1872 for thirty days in 1873 for less than twenty days. But the water stored in the Reservoir was intended to meet quite another purpose. Tho Reservoir when full contains one hundred and sixty millions of gallons or about eight days full supply for the city. By an accident to the pumping engines, or by a break on the works, we might be left dependent solely on this reBervo. It was and is designed to meet one of these contingencies.

If we drew on the rjserve in the dry season, in the event of an accident the city might be deprived of its usual supply of water at once and without a day's notics. To sum up, then, the minimum supply of the ponds is twenty millions of gallons daily the maximum consumption is twenty millions now. Within three years it will be seven millions more. It is clear, there fare, the existing supply will not be adequate three years hence. It will take three years to enlarge the works under any plan which may bo agreed upon.

The question, should we begin now to meet a certain want in the imme diate future admits, in our opinion, of but one answer. Admitting, then, that the supply of water needs to be increased, what is the most desir rable method of accomplishing this purpose The discussion which Mayor Kalbfleischdesire3 will be useful, if at all, in determining this ques tion. The plan agreed upon by the Water Commissioners was devised by Mr. Kirkwood, under whose superintendence the works were nrirrinnllv constructed, and is endorsed by CoL Adams, the engineer now in charge. It is very simple, and is as toltows in the wet season, or rather in the season when the ponds are yielding their maximum supply, all the water not required for daily consumption, runs off and is wasted.

It is proposed to col lect this overplus in a great reservoir, to be constructed in what is known as the Hempstead Valley. There ia a natural resevoir there now. Of rather, nature has provided two sides for a rest voir. With embankmentr. on each end, one thousand gallons of water can be stored there.

To purchase the additional land required, and to construct the resevoir, an expend, ilure of one million four hundred thousand dollars will be required, according to tho estimatoH 0f the engineer's, which are fjveii in dtluil in their report. This plan is buHed mi thcprirmiplo of equalizing the supply of the ponds, urate it is impossible to equalize the consumption of water. ln other wordj, the water which 110w runs to waste in April and May. will be stored until it i8 B8oled when fchs eon BumpliofD is grimiest mux tho ponds are at their lowest, in July, AuguBt and Boptcmbor If there be a better or a cheaper plan than this it has not yet been suggested. If tho Mayor in reopening tbo diaeusaion instrumental in presenting other KohcrnoH more de sirable he will have accompliohcd a commendable purpose.

The one before uk ih endoniwl by the very highest authority it Koonm to tho best. But for this very reason it Khoultj bo best able to bear examination. There ia no time for an intonniuablo dolay in considering visionery projects. Impelled by a desire to secure tho advantage of a copious supply of water, two at least of the five country towns are ready to be annexed to tho city. TUESDAY KVENIWi.

AU'i1' it An 011 interviewers. Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, has recently been making himself conspicuous not an uneccksiastical manner, but in delivering hinuolf, ex Cathedra, upon questions related to tho proceedings of the Vatican council, in which ho bore no undistinguished part. Tho Archbishop is an authority in the Church, and is no misnomer to call the Churoh a vary considerable institution. Let us see to how niaziy minds the Prelate's words would have been conveyed, had it not been for another institution called the Press. The Cathedral at Cincinnati cannot accommodate more than four thousand people.

Of that number not more than half of them at most could be trusted adequately to communicate the tenor of the address. If they could convey it by word or letter tothe widestextent supposable, on9 hundred thousand souls would be twice as many as could by any possibility receive, even remotely and in garbled manner, the purport of the sermon. The Eagle which yesterday substantially reproduced the Archbishop's words, in one edition sent them into the homes of six hundred thousand people. The Cincinnati newspapers, those of New York, Philadelphia and other cities did fully as well by the divine, and to day he is read by many millions of people. That in giving publicity to Archbishops and to hundreds of other people everyday the press should moke mistakes, is not surprising.

Some attache of a Cincinnati paper evidently made a mistake about something which the Archbishop said. In a sermon recently, that gentleman nnifl his eomDliments to his erroneous inter viewer as follows I propose now to speak of a class of men who, op pn tsod wilh a beuso of their own honor and dignity, outrage tho feelings of dignity and propriety in speaking of those by whom they have 'en received as gentlemen, and whom they wish to present before the public. I do not know of a more and insolent cluss of society than thene "intorviowers." They oomo with premeditation and malice nforotbooijht, and, with a Pharisee pride, take notes of a person's appearance aud words; tbey put him iu the pillory in the newspapers the next morning. I said that the publication of tho dogma of Iufallibil itv need not wait for tho official signing of tho acts of the Council before the proclaiming of the dogma, after it hob been pronounced on by 975 Cardiuals, shops, Abbots, and Patriarchs. said tne public needed Dot to wait f'cr it until it had been signed, and yet ho (tho interviewer) makes me say "that it could not be published until afterward." The Archbishop next read an extraction! tho Baltimore Bulltcin, which he oharacter iz an very insulting.

Speaking ot the custom of presenting one's self before leaving Rome, for tho pur pise of paying his respects to the Pope, it says: If the words of tho Archbishop are correctly renirled, how could he Dreoumc to present himsoli to receive the Pontifical blessing?" And furthermore, "That bis discharge from the priestly office is certain, and his Eever ance from the Church is likely to follow." It isovident that the interviewer did uot understand what lie was writing when be was exposing persons to insults litte these. He had better bo more careful. Ho siid that he cainc here to proclaim the personal infallibility of tho Pope in his own words. He was a truoltomau Catholic, as he had said here, as he bad written in nis lettors to the Pope, as he had proclaimed in the Council, and as he had affirmed in Cincinnati and elsewhere in this country. Now there are a few rules of common sense that come in right here, Archbishop Purcell to the contrary notwithstanding.

As to that particular interviewer, if he bungled his business and made the Prelate say what he really did not uttor, it was and is in order for the Archbishop to request the paper to correct his words, and to call the attention of the conduct orsof thenewspnper to their employe's mistakes. It might even be proper for tho Archbishop to have corrected himself and amended the record from the pulpit. But to make the error of a single interviewer the basis of an assault upon the whole class, and to attribute to them either malice, meanness, or any quality not the characteristic of a gentleman, shows a considerable degree of very secular heat in even an Archbishop. If the newspapers thus more than indirectly assailed, should unitedly determine to devote their attention to other ecclesiastics, to the complete avoidance of their offended and indignant critic, the chances are, that the critic himself, or his next friends, would cry out more loudly against the injustice and partiality, than they now do about the error, which, we admit, was inexcusable and exasperating. But let no reader be imposed upon in this matter.

Interviewing was and is not either the invention or the preference of the press. It is a device projected by publio men for bring ing themselves and their opinions and actions before the world. It substitute? a conversa tion for the old time set speech which few read and fewer care to read. It is a colloquial put ting forth of policies, actions, sentiments and intentions, It reduces "statesmanship, 'official reports" and other sach dry stuff to dio language of life. That it has greatly at tained success is purely owing to the inherent sensibleness and directness of the idea.

Through the accomplishments of journalists, it has become a science, and an intelligent "inter viewer is invaluable, both to public men and to the public itself, as well as to the press. Tho notion that they (the have any bad designs against the interviewed, would be laughable, coming from a layman but coming from an Archbishop, will simply encounter our denial. What sort of "interviewers'' they have out in Cincinnati, we cannot positively affirm. But in any metropi" city like Brooklyn, no such pic. as thai, drawn by Archbishop Pur cell ia truo.to facts.

It is here true that Interviews are solicited by the interviewed, and interviewers implicitly follow what the interviewed parties say, only engaging to make it grammatical, coherent, and not profane. Be side, no influential newspaper sends as an in terviewer of a public person a man unacquainted with his specialty. On the Eagle are wri ters who could interview Archbishop Purcell on Church polity as intelligently as that dignitar could answer and for all the scientists, poets, statesmen, engineers, emperors, princes, prime donne, and Chinese that come along we have our several intei viewers who can meet them on their own ground, and put themselves in relations with them at once. No denunciation will stop this method of familiarizing knowledge. The people will not take their food of facts in any other way.

The public men would not sur render a method which saves them boring their friends and exasperating their enemies by mak ing a formal address. But it is also true that nobody is interviewed against his will, or purposely misrepresented. Anything an interviewed person does not want said is left out. Anything he wants said is stated, and the busi ness can be stopped so soon as public person ages who now thrive thereby cry, "it is enough." Like our Corporate Childhood. From a California exchange, the Oakland, Alameda County, Transcript, we learn that there is a place called Brooklyn in that vicinity, which, we are happy to bo informed by the same authority, has evinced the most unmis takable signs of prosperity," and has "over shadowed Oakland importance.

"The location of the terminus of the Pacific railway gave a great stimulus to Brooklyn," we are assured. Further, we are informed The Brooklyn people now have a charter of their own and are deriving considerable advantage from its Perhaps tho main advantage tbey now onjoy is the power to lay out and open streets ana maintain and Drotect them alter they ore opened.

The Offal Nuisance. After pounding away at a grievance for two or three weeks, the Eagle usually develops and concentrates sufficient metropolitan publio opinion to compel co operation to some faint extent from some of the New York papers and eventually to enforce a remedy of the evil com nlained of.
