Tho orgftuiztition of tho Parisian polioo, 'flajca from the commenooment of the prosont conturjr. tCfttflji the old regime Paris had no polico worthy of tho Bams. There wai a llsutenauoy of police, the oblefof which milted in himself tho functions of. two am lent ttetB that of tho nontenant civil and of tho liouton and ho was charge! with tho suporvinlon anunly. aeonrity, and eaiiitation of tuo town.

The Iat lieutenant general of polico roeiend hti powora Into the hands of the pormauont coimnleaion in July, 1789. In lta oarlj days tho revolution had uo need of SUoo. Espionage was the soul of eivisme, and every good oltlaou folt it his duty to aol as spy upon his fellows. At length the convention intrusted the administration of Paris to eight commissions, but tho arrangement was somowhat complicated, and soon Rave way to tho Bureau Central, which was in reality tho germ of the present prefecture of polico. Dubois, the first prefect appointed, was It Is said, a tnau ot oroat administrative ability, and to his viaov oua tnlttatlvo tho new department owod its speedy establishment upon a broad.

Bound basis. In its main atllaofl the early organization remains unchanged to thla day. But naturally it baa been greatly amplified end expanded In the course of years. It is now a mighty engine, working with unfaillaK regularity and far reaching action, and holding all Paria indlroctly ftll FrancoIn its grip. Nothing is too gruat or too liltloforlUwatohfu) attontiou.

It will charge (tao.Y with a stray infant or a lost umbrella as readily as it will tako cognizance of a murder or a conspiracy to ondermlne tho State. Tho prefooturo Is responsible for the tranquillity and good order of tho city, tho poaco and oomfort, tho well being gonerally, of all its iuhab tanta. It coutrola all thoir movomouts, watches ovor and protoota them In their comings and supor visos closely the services which minister to thoir wants. It la paternal to a degree which might argue that tho Irhuaa were childiBbly incapable of taking care of themselves. At ovory ono of tho eighty polico stations provision is made to meet the immediate necessities of the neighborhood a stretcher is roady to remove tho injured, tie addresses ore posted up of doctors doing fluty night, of ohomlsts, votorinary surgeons, mid wlvss, water carders, commissionaires, oto.

Over and abovo the ostensible guardians of tho peace Who, like our own blue coated pollcomon perpetually patrol thee an army of agents, in uniform and constantly employed upon duties purely civil and administrative. Ono largo detochmont has tho management of cabmen and cabstands, and Rnothor regulates tho navigation of the Seine, with its gboally ueonraale, tho Morgue. Tho Inspectors of weights and measures are policemen so aro thoso who, whether stationary at tho markets or peripatetio la tho alroets, keep a sharp lookout upon all who soil food, Who, with unerring acumen, smell out tho bad, and rigorously condemn it as unfit for human consumption. Ohio branch, the Bureau doa Moeurs, Is charged Witiitho surveillance of the fallen sisterhood, who in Parts aro subject to the strictest disciplinary rules. A seoond bureau, that des Qarnls," takes cognlzanoe vt tho ontlro floating population of tho town, register lag dally the names of all who have lodged tho night previous In any house of ontertalument, from the grandest hotel to the most miserable thieves' lodging jbouae in the Hue do Oolande or tho Kuo do Yenlee.

Again, thopolfce dc enrelc (in some reapeots, although not cxaoily, tho equivalent of our detective polico), wages a porpatual and, with due allowauoe for occasional failures, a highly successful war agalnet crime. An impreBalon Just now prevails tnat Parisian malefactors have rather the best of it, that tho po llce hSTO been bsflled In many recent all'alrs, and that offenders have escaped free. This has apparently no bettor foundation than the notion that atrocious crimes hava been rather on the increase. There may have been delay in bringing their pprpetrators to Justice, 1 but If tho uretc works olovrly it works also with cor i and precision it wields extraordinary powers and aota with so much patient astuteness that It Is sel defeated In tlio iong run. And while the polico Is thus the bittor and implacable foe of all evildoers, it 'i jservoa willingly as confidential frleud and ad vleer for all honest folks, The bureau and cabinet of the various functionaries are constantly visited by people of all classes seeking assistance in difficulty and trouble.

One whole branch of the police, numbering some 200 employes, is devoted entirely to private Investigations and Inquiries for families how to rescue a member from ovll courses, how to protect respeotable people frous scandalous extortion, so oommonly praotlced tinder tho well known namo of chauiagt.

This vast undertaking was, however, successfully accomplished, and, although less complete than the collection they replace, the new archives already meet all requirements, and will soon be as perfect as ih old, The supreme and absolute chief of the Parisian polico Is the prefeet, a functionary with great re apontibillties and large powers.

NEW BOOKS. Our Western Ejipiee, or The New West Beyond thb Mississippi. By L.P.Brockett, A.M., M. D. Bradley, Garretson publishers.

This vast volnme of over thirteen hundrod pages gives in detail tho present condition of each of tho Stalos and territories wbloh go to make up "Our Wost ern Empire," inoluding all the facts relating to their topography, geology and mineralogy, climate, soli, productions, mineral wealth, pastosal faolllties, population, accumulated wealth, education and religion, with notices of the Indian tribes found In their borders. Part I is devoted to a general description of tbo Wost and Its resources, the second port covers Emigration" and part third deaorlDoe "Tho Several States and Territories," Theobaptera devoted to "Emigration" are alone worth the price of the book, because of tho perfeot trustworthiness of the Information given and its completeness. The stylo in whloh this work is writ tou, ts simple and soholarly. Any single ohapter 1b a oompleto book of Itself and the subject la of so much intorest that it Is a book of permanent value.

Tho West Is a wonder oountry to the greater portion of tho people of tho East, and Dr. Brookett has given the theme the charm of romanoe. The publishers havo llluetratod the book with steel engravings and numerous maps, and it 1b iu every respect a complete and most valuable publication. A Now ISatidboolc of Education. About four years ago the firm of E.

Steiger booksellers and publishers. Issued a "Cyolopedla of Education," edited by Henry Kiddle ond A. J. Schem, of New York. Both gontlomon are widely known In connection with education, and thofr opinions upon educational matters Is entitled to great weight.

A now work based upon, and in eome eort supplementary to. the Cyclopedia, haa just been Issued by tho samo edi tors, trom the same publishing house, entitled, "A Dictionary of Education and Instruction." It is proper to state that while the new work was passing through Iheprois Professor Schem. died, in May last. Tho book, 12 820 Is intended os a reference book and manual of the theory and praotloo of teaching, and Is Intended for the use of paronts and toaehers and as a text book on tboory and praotloo In normal Bchools. It is a dictionary and oondenBed oyolopodia of educational matters, which are treated briefly ond pointedly.

It is basod upon the "Cyolopedla of Education, "a work whloh has been cordially welcomed by those interested In Instruction, whothor teaohors or outside of that profession. Thore was a demand, however, for a work ef a similar character, which should exolude matter of only occasional interest, and contain, in convenient form, tho information euitabio to every day needs, and it 18 this want whloh Mossrs. Kiddle and Schem have undertaken to supply. It may bo said at the outset, that thoy have accomplished their purpose In a reasonably Batlsfaotory mannor. Teaching has bocome not only a learned profession, but it is rapidly approaching a science, and its successful pursuit requires, to a greater degree than almost any other profeBBlon, an especial and peculiar adaptation and fitness for the work.

That special faculty whloh enablea a person to impart iustruction In suoh a way that it shall be vividly impressed upon the mind of tho pupil la a rare art, which Is not easily acquired, evon by long study and praotlco, unless there exist a partloular aptitude in that direction. Tho toaehers that do possess It are alwoys eminently successful, In tho same manner as the artist is snocessf ol who has the gonlus of form and color and the ability to combine tho two. Numerous hints aud helps and aids to instruction have boon published, eomo fairly good, others wholly bad but the "Dictionary of Education and Instruction" Is unique in its method, ably edited and especially adapted for a special want long felt among teaohors. The special objects designed to be attained by tho publication of tho "Dictionary," more specifically stated, are To Bupply a brief compendium of the theory and practice of od 11 call on iu a series of dear and definite articles, alphabetically arranged so as to be easily referred to or systematically etudled to encourage In this way the study by teachers of tbo principles and practice of thoir profession, thus giving to the work of eduoatlon a greater degree of Intelligence and ofllotoHoy to afford a convenient class manual of pedagogy for use in normal sohools and teachers' institutes as tho bseis of a course of Instruction In principles end mothode, not necessarily superseding other valuable manuals differently arranged, but accompanying and etrengthentng them to supply, at a small cost, to every teacher that portion of tbe Cyolopedla which is of especial value in practical oducatlon, reserving this larger work for occasional reference, particularly when information regarding educational history, biography and statistics is needed, and to supply a useful handbook to parents in tho home eduoatlon of their ohlldren Some idea of the contents of the book may be gathered from an enumeration of a fow of the subJeolB treated. In addition to the subjects commonly understood, suoh as arithmetic, algebra, geography, etc, there are artloles upon tho analytic method of teaching, authority, discernment of character, concert teaching, culture of conscience, theory of education, harmony In hygiene, culture, of tbe imagination, punishment, sohool management, sohool records, self education, rote teaching, school furniture, relglous education, ventllstlon, onl ture of the voice, eto.

Among the shorter articles are accomplishments, association of Ideas, Anglo Saxon, blackboard school apparatus, education of boys, education of girls, co education of tho soxes, graded and grammar schools, emotions, hazing, phonlo method, sclenoo of government newspapers (how thoy can be used to advantage In schools), teachers' institutes, temper, topical method, oto. Some of the notices extend over several pages, others are limited to a fow lines. Reforcuces nro made In the notices to other works where the subjects are treated at greati length. There are in the longer articles Indented headings subdividing tbo topics. The derivation of the word or subject defined Is often given.

The book Is full of hints and snggostlons which will be found oi great assistance to the teacher. The artloles upon schoolhouse construction, school furni ture, ventilation and hygiene, are valuable and Instructive. Indeed, the book will be found almost as valuable to the genoral reader as a book of reference as to the person specially interested in education. Considerable Btress Is laid npon methods of teaching different studies, and the editors of the work arc espoolally severe upon that vice of modern school cramming, and 1 the artiols upon the subject declares it to be especially pernicious in elementary education, whero it works the greatest evils. Altogether, the Dictionary Is a work vory creditable to the good sense and critical Judgment in educational matters of the editors.

The volume Is' of convenient Blae, and noat, typographical appearanoe. It is a work which earnost teachers, who are really intent upon well doing in their profession, will find a valuable and handy addition to their library shelves. MAGAZINES: Wide Awake.

L0M ISIAW A View of What is Going: on All Along the Line. The Complications of Both Parties Why tha Democracy In Queens is DlvIded CoBdldates for the Fattest Offlces The Curious Aspcoto of the Canvass in Long Island City. The political situation in the Long Island counties ot Queens and Suffolk is a good deal mixed. There is uncertainty about everything, and uncommon discontent prevails among the people. This Is true ot both psrties.

The Democratic voters have been discontented for two years past, to suoh a degree that upon local candidates the majority dwindled from. 3,500 to the candidates for State offioes snffecal a loss of 25 per cent of the ordinary majority. The. DomooraUo ring In Queens Is represented altogether by office holders. Borne of them are enjoying their fifth, and sixth terms.

Combinations have been made law distributing the local offices for three years to com and the people seem determined to prevont the snooess of the bargain by casting thoir votes in opposition to the persons said to be booked for the several plaoo. The first of these Is Mr. Baldwin, tbe present county treasurer, who is seeking a second term. The office Is worth $60,000 for the term. It is said that, in she convention of throe years ago, he pledged himself not to ask a second term.

Er. Senator Oakley Is sold to be tnt tbe field ae a candidate, but he has not formally announced his candidacy. The feeling against Mr. BaldV win is so strong, on account of his opposition to that tax sole reform proposed by tha Board of Supervisors, that the convention may be able to see the wisdom of piecing a new man ia the field. The supervisors, in a roport published some) time sines, showod that tbe reform wbich tbey sought In the matter of the tax sales would havo saved tbo people $30,000 In tho three years of Mr.

Baldwin's eervioe, whereas the defeat of the measure by Mr. Baldwin enriched him to the extent of $30,000. Mr. Oakley Is a very popular man. Mr.

Baldwin's friends insist that Mr. Oakley Is ambitious of being senator again, but ho said on Saturday, to an Baoli reporter, that hs would not accept a senatorial nomination under any clraumstances. If ho sought office at all It would bs tho treaanrershlp. Supervisor Dykesof Xlnshlng, lsv au aspirant for the Democratic nomination. Tho Republican nomination la sought by several parsons, because Mr.

Baldwin is conceded to be an easy man to beat. Those mentioned are Supervisor Van Noatranol, of Newtown Supervisor Clark, of North Hempstead ox Supervisor Dennett, of Flushing John M. Crane, of Jamaica, Mr. Dennett is the strongest man, and Mr. Crane stands next.

Mr. Clark Is so weak that hla oandidaoy occasions laughter. A fatal objection to hint is the faot that, having approved the tax reform measure, and authorized a committee to obtain the necessary legislation, he seoretly lent his Influence to Mr. Baldwin. Thero have been so many combinations between tha Democratlo and Republican rings that candidates for office stand in fear and trembling until tho polls bars closed.

It was through this merging of the machines that L. Bradford Prlnoo so frequently went to tbe Legislature from a Btrongly Democratlo district. Two years ago, when tho senatorahip lay between Charles 0, Duryea, Democrat, and John Blrdsall, Republican, that Demooratlo county tiekot In Queens was in jeopardy, and a bargain was struck, by which Blrdsall was oleoted. Mr. Blrdsall is now a oandldato for oltber tha senatorahip or tho treaaureehlp, he docs not cava which, and the air Is filled with rumors of deals.

Mr. Blrdsall is a half breed, aud would be strongly opposed by the stalwarts. This faot would certainly defeat him If the county wore Republican, bnt tbe county and tha distrlot are Democratlo, bo that, with an honest party effort, ho could not win under any circumstances, and tho fact that he is In the field Is in Itself snggestive of a combination. With the exception of George F. Carman, of Suffolk, no other name is mentioned in connection with tho senatorshlp on tbe Republican side.

Mr. Carman is a strong man. He has served several terms in tbe Assembly. On tbo Demooratlo side, Assemblyman Bulincr and Richard Busteed, of Jamaica John R. Reid, of Babylon, and Henry CL Piatt, of Huntington, aro the names now before tho pcoplo.

The probability Is that the aominatloa will fra. gIP6h lo Suffolk. The motive ToTthis Is, that al two QueenB County mon are ambitious ot being Congressmen, Mr. B. W.

Downing and Mr. J. H. Bntpbln, Congressman Belmont desires tho Senatorshlp to go to Queens, but as the latter has sixteen votes to Suffolk's twelve Mr. Belmont may not be able to have his wish gratified.

Mr. Raid, say the Suffolk politicians. Is not looking for tho Senatorshlp, but will probably be nominated for District Attorney of bis county. Ho la a lawyer of fine abilities. Mr.

Piatt would make a vary acceptable candidate. No objection can be against blm as a citizen, aud his Democraoy cannot bo questioned. Some years ago he represented Suffolk in tho Assembly. Three yearB ago he was his party's candidate for District Attorney, but was defeated by a fow votos through tbe troachory of supposed friends la a neighboring town. Assemblyman Cock has been mentioned In oonnectlon with the Senatorshlp, but he will not, be says, engage In any scramble for tha nomination.

He would accept tho nomination to thai Assembly if unanimously tendered, but not otherwise. This is out of the question, as several gentlemen Bra seeking the favor in the First District of Queens. Mir. Mr. Eugone Weeks, of Glen Covo, is the most prominent on tho Democratic side William J.

Youngs, who wlce represented the distrlot, Is anxious to try concln elons with any Democrat, though the district has majority of Domocrats. He was beaten last year by Mr. Cooks. Counselor Churoh (would be a strong candidate on the Democratic side, but be declines to bo considered an aspirant, as docs also Mr. Robert Town send.

With party lines faithfully observed, Mr. Weeks would defeat Mr. Younge handsomely In the Second District of Queens, available candidates are scarce. Watkln W. Jones is advocated try Aaron A.

Degrauw, or Jamaica, lit. Jones has always aoted with tho Republican party, and if he has adopted the Democratic faith, haa not proved It sufficiently by his acts to entitle him to pre emlnont consideration. Some think that Mr. Degrauw would get Into the raco himself If the Jamaica delegation could be secured fox Mr. Jones.

Mr. Degrauw Is very wealthy, and wonlif mako an exceedingly lively canvass. S. O. JonnIngs, of Hompstead, who recently came into the possesion of $150,000, announces his oandidaoy In a published card.

It would not be much of a surpriao, however, if Mr. Bulmer became tbe nominee. He Is tho present incum bent. Other names mentioned are those of Jos ties Healey, of Hempstead, and Juttict MoGowan, of Newtown, They are young mon. Tho Demooratlo nomination for assemblyman of Suffolk County will bo conferred upon Mr.

Brindley D. Sleight, of Sag Harbor, editor ot the Corrector. Hs represented tbe county ia 1870. Tho probable Republican candidate Is Mr. Petty, the present District At torney, who twioe represented the county.

It wontdi boa very oloss race between these men. Henry J. Newina will receive the Democratlo nomination for County Treasurer. Ho has been twlee elected to tha office. His competitor will probably be J.

Henry Per kins, of Riverhead, a pretty strong man. The other offices lo bs filled are those ef School Commisslonersv Coroners, and Justices of the Sessions, for which there aro a small army of aspirants with the moat superior claims. A new trouble has arisen in Queens. In Long Island City there are, and for years have been, two wings of the Domocraoy. Ono is known aa the Independent party, and the other as the DoBevolse party, Mr.

Da Bevolse being Mayor of the city. The Independents, on a square Democratic vote, have been in a majority in the oity, but tbe DoBevolse party, having patronago to bestow, mado combinations with the Bepublicaxts aud thus were enabled to carry the city, In conventions the DoBevolse party were always admitted, and the Republican votes whloh that faction controlled brought victory to the Demooratlo party In the last two years. Now, however, It Is found, as the result of these combinations, that every department in Long Island City Is controlled by Republicans, and the) salaries which that party's representatives draw amount to $60,000 a year. The Demooratlo ring, halting profited by the Mayor's jobbery, torn and kick him. In the convention last week the Independents were admitted, and they have boon promised recognition for the future.

This is going to make tar ugly fight in the olty, seriously imperiling the ohaneetv of Democratlo vlotory. Colonel Oakley has decided not to be a oandldato either for county treasurer or State senator. This leaves Mr. Baldwin almost a free field for renomlna tlon for treasurer. Tbo senatorshlp la open to almost any one, there being no positive aspirant in tbe field.

The Republican nominee for county treasurer will probably be Sonator Blrdsall. SAVAGE KKCOUHTEH WITH A BEAR. Leaflville Obronlole. JolnTMcHenry, of this city, oame into town from Frying Pan Creek yesterday, carrying with blot the trophies of a savage eneounter with a bear In the ahape of a fine sot of claws and a network of flesn wounds that extend In a beautiful arabesque pattsrn trom the capo of the neck to the base of the spine. He met the savage monster on the borders of the creek, about twenty miles from the headwaters, as hs watt preparing to camp for the evening.

The first intimation ho had of Brain's presence was a crackling of small, bought tn the underbrush that lined the oreek bottom, and in an Instant later a grizzly of the biggest snd ugliest varloty stood before him.

Mr. Brldg. man makes bio home In Paris, and since his return from America he has been very bUBy filling orders obtained during his reoent visit to New York. He will send over a good sized picture to the Philadelphia exhibition.

Stanley Mlddleton has spent the better part of his Summer vacation at Montlcello, in this State, and he will retura with a largo number of etudlos for his Winter's W05I5. He writes tbat he has reoently flnishod a half length portrait of tho daughter of General Stone, a work whloh he intends sanding to the aoademy this season. He will be back In his studio In a few days. 8. W.

Keene has roturnea to his studio on Montague street, after a vaoatlon of several weeks. During his stay in the oountry Mr. Keene has divided his time between landscape ond figure painting, and he returns with a large quantity of studies, beside one or two good sized finished pictures. Ho Is now at work on a three quarters length figure picture entitled "Interrupted," whloh he intends sending to the coming exhibition of the Brooklyn Art Association, A young girl, dreBsod In somo light Summer material, Is standing in a field with a large Japanese sunshado resting on her shoulder. She has been interrupted In tbe reading ot an interesting note, and hastily thrusting the letter behind her, she stands looking out In.

The artist has been very happy tn the seleotton of his subject, and the ploture shows good handling, tha colors ooming out strongly and the drawing displaying much truth and freedom. There le an out of feeling about the atmoBpherlo effeot In tbe ploture whloh londs It an admirable freshness. This artist Is also working on an Interior containing ono figure which promisee well, and bo.baa also under way a landseapo.wbloh displays good qualities, although he Is evidently more at home in Qguro painting. Among the new works recently reoelvod at Knight's Gallery, on Fulton street.ls a large laudsoapo by Arthur Parton representing one of hla favorite eubjeots, a lake and mountain bit In Scotland.

A group of rough, rug god oattlo have come down to the edge of the lake to drink, and the eye wanders away over a broken ooun try to a line of misty blue mountains In tho distance. The work la full of the subtle lights and shadows Par. ton Is so fond of experimenting with, and It la altogether onelof his best plotures.They have also received at Knight's two bright oablnet landscapes by Julie M. Beers, ond a cabinet ploture, by Fredorie A. Bridg man, showing one of his favorite Eastern eubjeots.

K. H. BLABHFIELD Is back In town after an eitendod Bummer trip in Europe. He will takp a studio in the Sherwood building, corner of Sixth avenue and" Fifty seventh street, New York, and commence work at onoe for tho ooming exhibitions. While abroad ho colleoted a quantity of Interesting Btudles, and we shall look for something important from his brush bofore the season is much older.

Mr. Blasbfield Is always ambitious in the choloe of his subjeots, selecting themes for hla plotures whloh require an extended knowledge of history. In many of bis works he has gone to ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration, alwoys imbuing his oanvasses with tbe spirit of the age be selects, and adhering to an accuracy of costume and architecture which would do credit to a Ooromo or an Alma Tadowa, Charles Bridgman, at his studio In the Pheolx building, Is hard at work on several canvases lntoudod for the coming exhibitions. He will send tureo pictures to tha Philadelphia Society of Artists' exhibition, aud two to the exhibition of the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arte. A largo ploture, entitled "The Gypsy," he will send to the Academy of Fine Arts.

It Is one of the bestpioocs ot work he has dono in eome time, showing a dark eyed gipsy maiden leaning on a tambourine and smiling out at us from beneath a gay headdress of mony oolors. It is quite broadly and effectively handled. He will also send to Philadelphia two cabinet elzed figure plotures, one entitled "The Little Visitor," and tke other "A Familiar Face." This artist will shortly commeneo a good sized work for the Art Association exhibition. THE INSTITUTE ART SCHOOL in the Brooklyn Institute 1b now open for tho reooptlon of pupils, and Professor F.

H. Dellaas, at his studio In the Tenth street building, is putting the finishing touches on a large ploture entitled An Off Shore Broozo," which he will send to the exhibition of the Philadelphia Society of Artists. Judging from its size and importance It Is likely to be one of tbe obiof attractions of the exhibition. Mr, Dellaas is also at work on another strong marine wbloh bo Intends for a local exhibition. J.

B. Whlttaker has completed his large picture Over the Sea," and It will shortly be placed on public exhibition. It 1b by all odds the most Important ploture Mr. Whlttaker has painted in eome years, and It will doubtless rank with many as bis best work. A happier snbject could hardly be concelred of, and the artist hoe handled it In a broad, masterly way, putting on the eolors with a lavish brush, but at the samo time retaining a sufficient dellcaoy of drawing to avoid tho accusation of carelessness.

Tllo' young girl In her simple costume, leaning against a tree, and with one finely rounded arm thrown over a limb above her head seems to have acquired That caressing and exquisite grace never bold, Ever present wbloh just a few women possess, and the artist has caught and retained the ideal charm which attaches to maidenhood In the first flush of budding maturity. The girl's lover has gone "Ovor the Sea," and she looks out longingly across the wealth of waters, trying In vain to realize that tho broad ocean separates her from the new and oherished life which earns into her own, only to go out again Into the great world and leave her desolate. The figure Is painted life site, and the oinvas Is an unusually large one. B. DRTJOE OBANfl has returned to his studio In the Sherwood building, aftor a long vaoatlon, and he brings homo ample proof that hla trip has not been taken In vsln, his studio being full of studies, aud he having oorupletod one or two good sized pictures, Among the latter is a large landscape of a picturesque spot ou Long Island, showing a quiet, lily dotted stream running undor tbe branches of tall trees, wbloh fringe Us banks, and possessing in a most markod degree the orlspneas and freshnoss ot nature.

One of Mr. Crane's happiest points is his ability to catch the bright, vivid greens In tbe foliage of Midsummer without overstepping the mark and running Into crudeness and rawness of color. To paint greens ae they are seen In nature without being accused of using false color Is a most dellcato and difficult undertaking, and many artists havo found themselves damned by adhering strictly to nature as they found her, so that It 1b common for the majority to tone down the greens, even at the risk of making them muoh lower than they really are, and ow are bold enongh to go directly for truth as they find It iu the color of the foliage. It would appear that a mass of foliage cannot be too brilliant in color for tbe brush of Mr. Crane, and he exhibit, an almost reckless daring In dashlng.upon his canvases the most startling effects found In the Summsr landscape.

But his brilliant, vivid greens are far from being unpleasant to the eye, and we never discover even a tinge of harshnoss In bis work. Mr. Crane will seud three good sized plotures to the Philadelphia exhibition, and he will also finish two plotures in time for the exhibition osthe Art Association. J. Aldon Weir has roturned from abroad.

Some valuoble Improvements have been made In the lighting of the large studios of the guild, the servloes of a numbor of good models have already been secured, and It eommonoes Its season under tbe most favorable olroumetanoes. J. Buger, at his studio In the Phenlx building, has recently finished a strong oolored crayon drawing of a bright faced, flaxon haired little girl. She Is Been seated tn a graceful pose Ic a large arm chair, and the work throughout displays the most careful drawing and good art feeling.

The.olesses ol the Art Students League opened on Monday, the 8d Instant, with a large attondanoe. It is proposed by a local artist to give a aeries of studio receptions in Brooklyn similar to those held In New York last season. Gilbert Gaul, at his studio in tbe Tenth street building, has three or four interesting works under way, including a brilliant sundown street, showing an old farmer returning home from the fields at close of day. In the distance a qualut farm house comes out against a rloh evening sky, and many reflooted lights In the foreground add to the oharm of the work. In dlreot contrast to this work Is a bright noonday offset with an figure Introduced in the foreground.

The Growth of a Oity in Twelve Years. What Entorprlsliig Railroad Manafc ement has Done, and Hay De, for Long Island Tho Inhabitants and Manufactories of Brealau Its Churches, Schools and System of GovernmentThe Tide of Emhrratioo Ebblnff from tho Western Prairies Toward Montank Point, During the last ten years Long Island has mado remarkably rapid strides on tho road toward Improvement.

The opening of the South Side Railroad was the first break In tbat direction, as the Long Island Railroad, under tbe management of tho late Oliver Char lick, was moro calculated to draw people away than attract them to this side of tbe East River. Beforo the south side of the island waa opened up Long Island was only frequented by Summer tourists, but by slow and natural stages, a certain percentage of the floating population selected it aa their permanent abiding place. Many pleasant and plcturesquo Uttte villages and towns sprung up along the railroad until now there Is an almost unbroken line of oottages, farm houses and villas from Brooklyn to Babylon. The place whose growth has been of the most phenomenal character Is what Is known as the City of Breslau. It Is on the border of Suffolk County Just beyond Amltyvillo, and is the twentieth station on the South Side Railroad and about thirty miles from Brooklyn.

In 1800 the lsnd on which Broslau now stands waa oovered with a thick growth of timber and underbrush. At that time Mr. Charles S. Bchleler, of this city, ooncelved tbe idea tbat Long Island presented unexampled faolllties for the building up of a manufacturing and industrial community on the co operative plan, Mr. Schleler ts a native of THE OITY OF BBESLAU, the third largest olty in Germany, where he oarrled on business as a merchant, but by reason of taking part in tho revolutionary movement of 1848 ho was compelled to seek an asylum and home In this country.

It was not until 18G9 that ho inaugurated the enterprise with which his name will always b'e connected. Early In that year, In company with General MoCullum, of the United States Engineers, Mr, Teokritz, the archlteo who built the new Court Honso, and Captain Sandbrink an old and experienced aea captain, Mr. Sobleler Inspected the lands through which the Soutb Side road had been built. General MoCullum and Mr. Teckritz, aftor a thorough examination of the country, decided that uo portion of tbe soutb side of the Island was bettor adapted tor a settlement than the land lying immediately east of Amltyvillo and welt of Babylon.

Thoy found it possessed four requisites, all of them absolutely necessary for the prosperity of any settlement. They wore Good water, natural drainage, oxoellent soil and healthy location. Captain Bandbrinkrand General MoCullum then went ovor the lnlots and cruised around the Great South Bay, for the purpose ascertaining what facilities It afforded for the bringing of vessel, of heavy tonnage to the wator front of the main land. Several days were spent In making survnys and taking soundings, and then General MoCullum stated that by expending $100,000 one of the finest harbors on tbe Atlantic seaboard oonld bo eocnrod, and that vessols of any size oould be brought directly to tbe shore line. The result of the survoys made by General McCullum and Mr.

Tookritz showed tbat thero was a natural fall or drainage from the South Side road to the bay of about twenty four feol Tho distance Is about ono mile, and on any part of tbe land, by digging down ton or twelve foot, an unlimited supply of clear and sweet spring water was obtained. The people living within a circle of ten miles round were visited and the statistics of tho county consulted, and from those sources of Information it was lcarnod that malarious diseases wero almost unknown thore, but that on the contrary tho averajo duration of human life In Suffolk County was greater Iban In any otherporHon of theStaio. Al) tha faots enumerated above wero takon into consideration, and the determination come to that tho experiment of building a city in the wilderness should bo trlod. That waa TWELVE YEARS AGO, and beforo a tree had been out down the settlement In embryo was named tho City of Brealau. It is now ono of tho most flourishing places on Long Island, and has a bright uturo beforo It.

No less than Beventy different psroela of land had to be secured in order to complete tho traot or territory on whloh the City of Brealau has been built. It now oxtenda three miles from east to wast, and the length from the shore line of the Great South Bay and running north to the range ef hills known as the backbono of Long Island, is about eight milee. It Is oroased by throe HnoB ot railroad: The 8outh Side, the Central and the Long Island. Opposite the shore line of tho now pop'nlous and thriving city Is Oak Island, whloh, by reference to the map, will be found to oeeupy the following relative position Al tho extreme westerly end Is Eockaway Beach, then oomea Long Boach, Jones' Beach, Oak Island aud Fire Island. It is on Oak Island tbat the United States Lifo Saving Station Is looatod.

Mr. Franklin H. Kalbfloisoh, eon of the late Martin Kalb flefsch, obtafnod a charter a short timo since authorizing the construction of a narrow guage railroad from East New York and along the beaohes and islands above named, and it will be carried by trestlo work from Oak Island to Breslau and thence across Long Island, a distance of fourteen miles, to the north shore, from which point communication will be had with Nor. walk, by means of steamboats. The commission, ort appointed by tho Board of Supervisors of Buffolk County to locate the route ot the road aro Abraham G.

Thompson, of Islip, Stephen Rogers, of Huntington, and Seloh 0. Smith, of Babylon. When tho Idea was first ontertaiued of building tha City of Breslau, rents In Brooklyn and New York had touohed a higher figure than had ever been known, and the laboring classes found It almost impossible to satisfy tha demands of tbe landlords. Families were obligod to "double up." Those who had occupied a whole house were obliged to be oontent with throe or four rooms, while thoso who had lived in spartmonts were oompelled to crowd together in one half the space tbey had boen accustomed to. It was under those clrsumBtances that the Idea was conceived of affording tbe working classes on opportunity to procure obeap homes on the oo operatlve plan, and at tho same time build up a manufacturing and Industrial settlement In what at that time was literally a wilderness.

The plan adopted to give praolical offset to the idea was very simple, and the details as recently related by Mr, Schleler to an Eaole reporter, are very interesting. The first step was, of oonrae, THE PURCHASING OF TUB LAND. That was a long and tedioua business. Some of tha parcels were purchasod at tho rate of $15 per acre, and an old farmer who owned a single aoro noar the center of the tract asked and obtained $2,000 for It. The average prlco paid was $50 per aore, whloh was about what the lata A.

T. Stewart paid for the Hempstead plains. Then Mr. Jonathan Sammis, the Suffolk County surveyor, was engagod to lay tho property out and stake out tbe streets, avenues, etc The laud was as level as a tablo, with a gradual incline toward the bay. From a point oxtendlng north from where the Wet Door Park depot Is now located to tbe Long Island Road, the lnollne Is about fifty feet, Back or north of that road Is tbe range of hills already referred to.

Thero large beds of olay wore found, which experts from Philadelphia stated was Buitable for the making of the boat quality of brioks aud all kinds of pottery. The surveyors, also disooverod two mineral springs, which pbysloiane stated contained large quantities of iron and sulphur. The watora havo already bBen used with beneficial effect by many persona effltotod with kidney and liver complaints. As the timber was cleared away it was discovered that thero were some fine streams of Bpring water flowing Into tho bay. One Is about seventy feet in width, sufficiently deep to be navigated by hosts ot small tonnage.

Sixty men, with brueh hooks and axes, were set to work under tho direction of Mr. Sammis to clear the ground, and so sparsely settled was tho oountry at that time that it was found impossible to procure board for more than twenty of the men, Tbe others camped out in tho woods. The trees tbat were cut down wero sawed up into planks, joists, boama, a regular lumber yard and saw mill being started, and In a very short time about one hundred houses were put up. While Mr. Sammis and the laborers were felling trees, rooting up stumps and laying out streets Mr, Schleler was studying the capabilities of tbe place, and as an idea of bis plans gradually dawned on the minds ot tho Long Island farmers they expressed their appreciation of his efforts by characterizing him as "that crazy Dutchman." At this stage of the work tho depot of the Soutb Side road was built at an expense ot $2,500, and a building association, consisting of five hundred members, was formod.

There wtro five hundred shares, at $1,000 eaeh, and they were all taken up within tho first four weeks by Germans living in this city. The meetings were held in Burnbam's old gymnasium, which then stood on the ground between the new Court Houso and Boerum place. The next step taken was to provide places ef worship for tho new settlers, and the membors of the different denominations were organized into societies for tbat purpose, A CATHOLIC OHUBOB was the first ono put up. It was a commodious frame edifice, eostlng, with tho steeple and furniture, about $8,000. Tbe ground on which It was built was donated by Mr.

Sobleler, together with $2,000 In money and a fine bell. Assistance of a similar obaracter wae offered tho Lutherans, Hebrews and Baptists. At present there are four churches In Broslau, together with a Catholic convent and orphan asylum, under the care of the Sitters of St. Domlnlck. Children of every denomination are oared for in the asylum, and it now shelters nearly 400.

A publlo school was also opened about tha time the first churoh was built and, singular to relate, tho prlnolpal waa selected from among tho men who had been engsged to clear tbe ground. Ho waa a man of unusual attainments, who had been reduced by unforeseen olrcumstances to earn his living by manual labor. The sohool Is now attended by several hundred children. A volunteer Are department waa organized, the engine house being located on the pieoe of ground for nhioh $2,000 had been paid. Many ot those, who Lad taken Bhares In the building association Immediately moved to Breslau and put up houses, and within a few months tbe southerly portion of the site of the new city was very thickly settled.

The working force em ployed to clear the land and grade the streets was increased to about 600 men. In laying out tha city Mr, Sammis received directions that large spaces should be. for park purposes aad also as the sites for publia buildings and other similar purposes. The avenues ana streets were named after German authors and poets, such aa Mosentbal, Gosthe, Schilter and Leasing, and the names of Baron de Kalb and General Stouben werestlllssd for the same purpose. Tho first settlers consisted almost exclusively of tailors, carpenters, maaone, bricklayers maantnto and laboring men, Th first manofaeturlng utabllahment waa put up about nine yoars ago.

It waa a brlok building, three stories in height, 130 feet in length and AO deep. It was Intended, tor a shoe factory, but a Massachusetts firm, making papier maehe goods, mads arrangements to ooetvpy it. It was sptned In 1672, but owing to def eetlvs management and hard tunes, the enterprise was a failure, and the firm failed Inside of two years. It is now occupied by one of the; 'largest button manufacturing 'firms In tha United States. Tbey mcved therefrom Leo minster, near Boston, and their business office is now located in Wall street, New York.

Bone, celluloid, rubber and other materials are need by them in tha making of buttons. They give employment to nearly 80S men, women and children, and have an engine ot 120 hoist power. A ladles' dress trimming manufactory Was the next building put up. It ie a three story brick building, one hundred feet front, and Is tarnished with, etoam There worsted, (Us; ogtton. and linen UueiOs RELIGIOUS.

We hear a great deal said nowadays, says the Chrittian at Work, about the provlnco of reason in religion, and those philosophers who have made up their minds that Christianity Is not a reasonable thing, and their philosophy Is, put what thoy mean In ono word of four syllablos and call It rationalism.

Look over tho Mew Testament with this thought in mind, and see how often Christ rests His highest and most spiritual dootrlne upon the conclusion of human reason. Bead, for example, how He established tho doetrlne of prayer "Ask, and It Bhall bo glvon you seek, and ye shall find knook, aud it shall be opened unto you."

Speaking of tho reopening of tho eohoole, the CAris Man jiduocate reminds its roadors that the great object of tho schools la tho student. He is the one for whom the libraries are gathered, tho buildings aro roared and the friends of learning aro Importuned to bestow their wealth.

Without the student the Bohool is It 1b as ridiculous as to think of a campaign without sol dlers as a college with only a score of students. Honce, the good of tho student Is the aim of the college. Our schools do not have enough of them. The time has now eomo when moro of our young people ought to have a complete oduoatiou. One oat of a family to goto college Is not enough.

Every one of the sons and daughters ought to have the best that the times afford. Suppose ono of tho boys llkoa mechanics, or oommorcial life, or agriculture, ia there any reason why he should not have as liberal aa education as bis brother who is looking toword the ministry, or tho law, or medicine 1 Every department of life Is now requiring the skilled brain. Tho ourae of our practical buslnees llfo is the want of an education to conduct It. There would not only bo more cornmoroial soourlty, but also more honesty and infinitely greater ends attained, if tho eduoatlon of colleges wero thruBt into it. Tho time is past when ignorant force is enough to carry on any important branch of business The parents and friends of the young generation daro not overlook tho demands that the coming times aro going to mate upon it.

Evou with the full advantage of tho best schools there will us no superfluous acquisition. Let every branch of trade have tho benefit of educated minds. There is too much at stake to run any risk here. So, to the friends of young people in our cbnroh everywhere, we would say Lot them havo the best possible preparation for the highest and strongest schools, aud by and by, when they are fully ready, make any sacrifice to give them tho full benefit of four years at college. Such a gift Is more than gold.

A training of tho mind, at the foot of conscientious and capable teachers, In a firm ChriBtlan sohool, Is a richer gift to a son or a daughter than a railroad across the continent or twenty five mines in Colorado or Arizona, BOUTHEBN SYMPATHY FOB OABHTBLD.

HOW MEN FALL.

Becently in New York, says the Baptiit Weekly, there have been several eases of misappropriation of money, or theft, brought home to young men. Among the latter is a very painful case of post office robbery by a olergyman's son. Numerous Instances will suggest themselves to the memory of any one accustomed to read the dally papers. It is not to be denied that older men are often guilty of llko offenses, for the oases of largest defaloatlon and embexelement in the last ten yoars havo been committed by men over forty years of age. The souroos to whloh these terrible shipwrecks for lite aro to be ascribed are various.

In some cases It is the doslro for sudden rlohes. Speculation promises well, and mon rush into ventures with the belief of Urge gains, from which they can easily return all they have and without discovery. Misadventures lead to other speculations and the end Is ruin. Others enter on a oourse of dissipation. Intemperance leads to other and even more expensive vices, which make demands tbat honestly earned money cannot supply.

So we read, week after week, of orimes whloh plunge respectable families Into shame and sorrow, and place a life long brand of Infamy on the perpetrator Continues the Weekly: It ought not to bo forgotten that these sad cases of dishonesty are committed by those who have had the best of educational advantages. Only those who possess considerable culture can reach positions of trust. Thise erlmes show us tbat there la need of "line upon line" from earliest childhood on the Importance of tbe strictest honesty. Orimes need to be spoken of la tbe aspeot of their hideous wickedness, Canning and oral ought never to gain admiration, or tbe bungling of a criminal to draw attention from bis sin to his folly. This asms oourse of denunciation of every worldly wise saying which in any degree lowers the etandard of morals should be the common habit In every family, Many a crime la so commented on when read of at breakfast tables that yonng people lose the sense of its turpitude In Its "smartness." All these things ought to be avoided.

Above all things tbe crimes of educated young and old men ought to teaoh ns that the only aeonrity for all virtue and honesty Is in tho possession of sound religious principles. Only, as men fear God and have a heart desire to keep his commandments will they resist and overoome temptation, SMALL MIKDED OBITIOS. There la a small class of small men, the Observer says whose business In life Is to find fault, erltlolse and, if possible, to Injure the man, the cause, the Institution that stands the highest, fairest and beat In the esteem of all Intelligent and upright men.

Results of the Annual Inspection and Muster of the Second Dlvls.on Cons paratiro Prcsent Xho State, Authorities Weil Pleased. In estimating the results of the recent in snd muster of the several organizations com wising the Second Division tho percentage of "pres. ent" shown by the various oommands should be taken into consideration, as also the olroumstanoss attending the ceremony. The Fifth Brigade, although suffer log from the enforood postponement occasioned by the doath of President Garfield, waa fortunate in securing an almost perfect day for Its parade. The programme prepared by General Obrlstenssn was fully oarriod out' at Prospeot Park, and the enthusiasm of a fine ceremonial display had an appreciable effect In promoting the attendance.

The Eleventh Brigade, ou the other hand, debarred from parading at tho Park, even after the storm' wbloh ushered in Monday last had subsided, by peremptory nnA.tn orders from General Headquarters, had none of thst stimulus and In the case of the Thirty second and Forty Beventh Regiments and the Battery, the ohange In the hour and plaoo of Inspootlon operated seriously to their disadvantage In point of attendance. Had the brigade paraded In tha afternoon, according to the original arrangements of Genoral Brownell, tho muster in the case of the organisation named would have materially Increased. The Seventeenth Separate Company, of Flushing, suffered probably more seriously than any other organization being oompelled to journey to Brooklyn for the purpose of going through a ceremony which did not occupy above fifteen minutes, Instead of the company being Inspected at home, many of the members being unable to leave their business for an entire day. Under these circumstances the showing made throughout tho division Is most enooursglng, as will be seen from ibe tabuioTed statement glvon below. It is doubtful whether the splendid percentage of the Twenty third Regiment will be excelled throughout the Htate; certainly no handsomer ceremony than the review taken by General Oliver, preliminary to the Inspection, has ever been witnessed In the National Guard and It will not be surprising If "Ours" figures woll up toward tho head of the military foroea of the State In "order of merit" in tbe annual report of the Inspeotor General The following are tho offlolal figures, now first given COMPABATIYE Total Per' Orgeneatloa.

The Fifth Brigade, with an enrolimsut of I2S2, shows a present of 628, or 6G.13 per cent, With tho general appearance, discipline and drll of the troops the Inspeotor General was well pleased, and especially so In the case of the Forty.seventh Regiment, whose membership he pronounced to be the finest body of men he had eoon'ln any organization of tbe National Guard of tbo State That the Thirty.

pocond Regiment, In the face of the trials and dlacouragomonts It has undergone during tbe past year, should seoure third place In order of percentage present In tho division a most gratifying circumstance. From the showing of tbe annual muster, and from the remarks of those competent to speak by authority, It Is safe to assume that tbo National Guard of Brooklyn need expeot nothing other than eucouragoment in future from the authorities in Albany. NEW LOTS WATER C0X1RA0T. Adjourned meeting or Citizens to Protest Affalnwt its Consummation A Committee Directed to Proceed Leiral lr for Its Annulment, A large number of the citizens of Now Lots met, pursuant to adjournment, in Scbluohtner's Hall, corner of Atlantlcjand Pennsylvania avouuea, Thursday evening, to learn what successful movements had been made toward breaking the contract which the Long Island Water Supply Company holds to supply the town with water, and to devise new methods of procedure. Mr.

J. W. Erregor presided and Messrs. Schluchtner and Corrlgan recorded. The meeting at times was exceedingly lively, personalities being freely exchanged, until the chairman was compelled to use his gavel with great force to restore order.

Mr. Ditmars, chairman of the Law Committee, reported that they had engaged Bamuel D. Morris as counsel. He bad assured them that they had a splendid oase, and there waa not a doubt that the contract could be broken. Cheere.j Mr.

Holloj, another of tbo committee. In Tery caustic terms criticized the circular which was distributed by the water company last Thursday, which has already appeared In the ICaqi.s, He held that the promises thorein glvon would not be oarrled out. Insurance men said tbat not mora than $10,000 was paid In tha town for fire Insurance, although $00,000 was the amount stated in tho circular. The assesaod valuation of tho town was about $1,000,000. 00,000 was tbe amount raised by taxation.

This additional tax of would raise the amount of taxation 29 per which was 00 cents on the $100. It had been said tbe tax would be only 33 cents a lot, but tho tax was not lovlod in that way. I think, concluded Mr. Molloy, I speak tho will of tho people of the town when I Bay we will never allow them to carry this contract into effect, Great applause. Mr.

Harrington said very able lawyers had told him the contract could not bo broken. Ho suggested appointing a oommlttee to bring about a conference between tbe town authorities and the water company, to secure a bettor contract. The officials, he knew, wore willing to do that. II thoy went Into oourt It might take years to get a deolsion. Mr.

Molloy opposed, and said that If tho town officials repented of thoir action It was their duty to come to the people, not for tho people to go to them. Groat applause. Mr. Ditmas Jewell thought a committee might be appointed, and that tbe own offiolals oould come to them and mako arrangements to rescind tho contraot. Mr.

Harrington was quite sure tbe parties to tbe contract would consent to modify it, Mr. Itouss thought it would be well to let the matter rest until tho next election was over. Mr. Harrington was of the opinion that politlos should not be mentioned, and that the speaker should ouly ventilate his political views in his association. Mr.

Rousb said he knew from long experience tbat politics was tbe mainspring of every movement in the town that jeopardized tho interests of the people. Mr. Molloy said that was certainly so, because bo had traced the affair to Albany, and to the senator who represented the town Senator Jacobs. "I deny It," said Mr. Harrington, thereby causing a great sensation and much hissing.

The chairman's gavel atoppod farther remarks In this direction. Mr. Isaae Sehenck offered a resolution to rescind tho vote ot censure insomuch as it applied to Supervisor Colyer, Town Clerk Btodormann and Justice Gertum, because they voted against tho granting of the contraot. Counselor Watson opposed tho resolution, stating that the only man who protected the intorests of tho people wob Justlco Gertum. The resolution was defeated, but another one, excepting Justice Oertum from the consuro, was unanimously adopted.

Mr. Molloy called upon all present to obtain signatures to a protest against the consummation of the water contract and oalllng upon the supervisor to Institute legal proceedings to havo said contract annulled and to bring the perpetrators of this outrage upon their rights to Justice. Upon motion of Mr. Jewell It was deolded to begin at onoe to fight the matter In court, and tbat circulars in German and English should be distributed abovt the town, explaining tbe objeot of the movement, and calling for subscriptions. Ditmas Jewell, William Watson and John MoGeehon were appointed a oommlttee to receive subscriptions aud tho committee adjourned for one weok.

A WAR CLAIM. Two Hundred Thousand Dollars Wanted for Itent of Slave and Loss of Property lu the Bebeilion a French Citizen Sninn; Under the French'American Claims Treaty. In the suit of Michael Feulenhetrae to recover $200,000 from the United States Government, and which has been referred to U. 8. Commissioner Shields, in New York, the plaintiff has Just given his testimony.

Feulenheune came to this oountry in 1847, from Strasburg, then a olty of Franoe. At the beginning of the Bebeilion he resided In Charleston, 8. 0., and though ha had not renounced his alleglanoe to Franoe he was drafted Into the Confederate army. On his cross examination Feulenheune said that previous to July 18, 1861, he Uved at Pelloan Point Mount Morris Island, H. where he had twenty seven slaves.

His house was looatod near a Confederate fort, which had been evacuated. The Union foroea were on the north extremity of the Island, and the Confederates to the southward. He rented his slaves to the Union forces to build entrenobments, at $5 a month each. About the middle of July, In the year mentioned, he waa aroused by the dlsoharge of heavy guns, and found that a monitor lying out in the ocean was shelling the island. The exploding shells set fire to his house, In whloh, beside bis furniture, be had paintings and other works of art, to the value of $90,000 and be and his wife were obliged to seek eafety In flight.

They took refuge la the woods near Tappaban nock, where they remained two days without food. Ho further testified tbat bis property was confiscated by General Gilmore of tbe Union army, and $80,000 be had deposited In the Farmers' Exchange Bank, beside $9,000 in gold and $70,000 in onrrenoy, were taken by men whom he believed to be Union soldiers, deserters from General Butler's army, though dressed In Confederate uniform. Tbe case will come up for another hearing next week. Mr. Feulenheune seeks to reoover under the Frenoh Amorloaa Claim Treaty, BLACK DEATH.

An Epidemic of tbo Fourteenth Con tury Blenaclnfr Missouri. Arkansas Gazette. The readers of th (iantto doubtless still bear in mind tha short paragraph in Tuesday's issue announcing the appearanoe of a malignant lever, sup. posed to bo smallpox, at Parkvllle, a station on the Eansaa City, St. Joseph and Oonaoll Bluffs Railroad, between Ateblson and Kansas Olty.

Later reports from there not only verify tha truth of he assertions made concerning the mortality of the dreadful visitation, but give the Impression that tha dlsaaaa i nt much more serious obaracter than waa generally supposed here. Eleven doaths have already ooenrred, and Sr. Anderson, of Leaionwortb, saya tbe dlsesse 1 really black scurvy. Others say it Is nothing mora nor loss than the black death whloh devastated tbe ooun trlea of the East In the Fourteenth Contury, Ul those who attended the funeral of 'the first vlotlm havo been atrleken down, and ten bare died, according to a Hh Threlkeld, living near the piece. Of the entire number attacked, about thirty, only one has shown symptoms of reooyery, Mr.

Threlkeld saya tbat after death the bodies Cannot be lifted into a oofflo, aa the flesh falls from the bones, and it is his opinion that the disease la the old black smallpox. There Is great SKoltoment 1ft. Wievioimty, Mdagrsattnjuiy awlMTtSJ, at hundred men. In addition to tho above large manu facturing establishments thero are also cigar makers located there who employ from thirty to forty bands, and turn out work for the New York market, and a Swede hot opened a footory where safety matches are made. The description of matches now mads at Breslau was formerly imported from Sweden.

Builders' hardware is also manufactured In Breslau, and also barrels, kegs, washtubs, wagonB, Thero are also a number of carpet wearers, shoemakers and a large colony of tailors who work for the New York clothiers. They receive tho materials In boxes via the South Side road, and send tho completed articles baok in the' same manner, and are paid the same prices aa though they resldbd in New York. For the accommodation of all these busy workers Breslau is provided with stores of evory description, and there is also a number of breweries, hotels, sa loons, bowling alleys and other places ot amusement and reoreatlon. Before leaving this branch of tho sub ject It may be well to state what additions will, In the near future, be made to the Industrial enterprises of Breslau. The Long Island Bilk and Velvet Manufacturing which was started lu Ansonla some time ago, Intend put.

ting up a large factory In Breslau, and state that all the goods they can manufacture will be taken off their hands by the firm of A. T. Stewart Co. A New York firm engaged In the manufacture of hoop wire and another firm from tbe same city will put up factories thero and havo them In running ordor as soon as It' Is posslblo to do so. The land for these buildings has already been selected.

One of the most important indications of the benefits that may acorue to Long Island In consequonce of tho circulation In Europe of documents setting forth Its numerous advantages and resources was given only a fow daye since. It was a lottor received from a gentlemen residing In Hellbronn, near Wnrtemberg, Germany, announcing bis intention to ereot a building in Breslau lor the manufacture of machinery of every description. The capital that will uo Invested was stated in the letter to be ONE AND A QUABTEB MILLIONS OF MARKS, or $300,000. Such, ia brlof, is a history of the rise and progress of tho" City oWBreslau. During a conversation with Mr.

Schleior, the Eagle reporter asked him 'Is thore a newspaper in Breslau Yes," he responded, "I edit 11 myself. It Is the Deultchet Wochenblatt, or the German weekly for the City of Breslau, Suffolk County and tho City of Brooklyn, It is entirely Independent In politics and advocates oo operatlve principles and other plans for bettering tbe condition of the working olasses and tha settling of Long Islandgenorally. "What do you think of tho prosont railroad management 7" "I think Mr. Corbln's arrangements are excellent so far as the time table Is concerned. They give every man a chance to get Into New York from Breslau by 7, 8 or 9 o'clock In the morning and he can get home by 8, 4 or half past six in tho evening.

So far, the arrangements are splendid. The most fault I have heard found is that the people have to pay for a yearly commutation ticket In advance. They do not grumble at the prioe, as It is only twelve oents a trip, but they grumblo about being compelled to pay a year In advance." 'What Is tho price of a yearly commutation ticket "Elghty.eight that Is a very large amount of money for working people to be oompollod to pay out at once and In advance. Thoy say tbat If Mr. Cor bltt would sell monthly commutation tickets everything would be all right, and no fault could bo found.

Then for those who only want to visit New York onoe or twice a week, some arrangement should bo made so that they would not bo compelled to pay full fare. For instance, there are the custom tailors, A great many of them live in Breslau andout ojj the Island; they are obliged to visit New York onoe or twice a week, and ought to be accommodated at a cheaper rate than the regular fare. Another thing I oan mention where it seems to me an improvement oould be made. A through train should be run from Breslau to the city in tho moraine, so tbat the time occupied by tbe trip would be shortened. The express train from Babylon which gets" to (hj city inside of one hour, does not stop at Breslau." "How Is Breslau governed 7" "Under tho town charter of Babylon.

It Is oalled the Fourth School District of the Town of Babylon. Thero Is a Justice of the peaoe, a oonetable, sohool trustee, road masters and an asseseor." "What aro the chief advantages that Breslau possesses as a location for manufactories 7" "The land is In the flret place donated, their taxes are low. water Is abundant and there Is uninterrupted communication with all parts of the United States." "How is that?" "The factories are ell oonneoted with the South Side road by means of rslls laid down for the purpose, and goods con be shipped dlreot andcarriod without breaking bulk to California, Toxas or any other part ot the conn try. For the working classes thero cannot be any doubt tbat Breslau and other places on Long Island possess unrivalled advantages as places of residence. In Breslau a man can purchase a houso and farm for a very small amount of money.

In the garden he can raise all the potatoes and vegetables his family will require; then he can keep chickens and a pig or two, or a cow. Tho bay supplies him with fish, clamB and oysters, and to sum up tbe whole case he Is not obliged to work from morning to night In order to sat isfy THE DEMANDS OF THB LANDLORD. To show you how this thing actually works I will In I stance the strike of the tailors In New York last Sum mer. The New York mon sent a delegation out to Breslau to ask the tailors living there to Join them. Tho Brealau tailors refused to do so, saying they were pcrfootly satisfied with tbe wages they were receiving, and aa thoy had no rent to pay and raised their own vegetables they could live very comfortably, and aa a wlndup they advised their New York friende to go to work again and move out on Long Island." "Is there anything else of Interest that you oan relate In regard to the eettloinont of Long Island 7" "Thero 1b only one thing that occurs to me at present, and iu my opinion it is a very striking instance of the changes that time and experience bring about." "What is that 7" "During the last twelve years I have circulated hundreds of thousands of documonts, printed in English and German, throughout this country and Europe, setting forth tbe ADVANTAGE POSSESSED BY LONG ISLAND as a place of residence, and it was not until quite recently tbat any general notlco appoored to bo taken of the matter.

New, however, people who a few years ago emigrated to Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kansas, Texas end other parts of the West aro Wilting for additional information. The letters tell substantially tho same story. The writers say they are tired of living In places whore loousts, tornadoes, Arts and droughts destroy their crops, or, if tbey should chance'to havo a good year, then they find It impossible to Bell their produce, as thoy are without the facilities for sending it to market. Thoy say 'We don't see a cash dollar from one year's end to the other, and would be glad to sell our eggs for five, six or seven cents a dozen, and our grain for twenty five cents a bushel. Our children have no education, aud we are all anxious to make a move and find some place where we can get I ebould not be surprised to see quite a number of those people come East and settle on Long Island, as dozens of letters have been received from the Wost during the last few months," FLORENCE AND PISA.

Aa Hour Ncatu Italian Slttes Mr. John Stoddard's Thiid Nocture. Gems of Art and Historic Memories. Thursday night the Academy of Mnsio was orowded with a fashionable audlenoo gathered to attend the third of Mr. John L.

Stoddard's illustrated lectures. Nearly every seat in the house was sold, and indeed down stairs not another one could be had. It seems as If the course grow more popular as It progresses. Tne clearness and beauty of the pictures are a never ending attraction and they have been selected with rare judgmont. They give Just thoao Beenes about a city or a country wbich one wants to see, catching the salient points, as It were, of each country visited.

Mr. Stoddard led his audience, In imagination, beneath Italian skies and along the banks of the Arno, which next to tha Tiber Is tbo most historic stream or Italy. "Florence and Pisa" was the theme of the lecture, and for an hour and a half Mr. Stoddard hold bis audience delighted and Instructed, as he unfolded upon the screen the glories of these two ancient cities. Naturally, Florence received tho lion's share of attention, and tho audience, la the opening, were shown the city's position In bird's eyo view.

Then they were led to tbe Square ot the Senate, above whloh rises the tall tower piercing the sky. Then thoy walked in tha Piazza of the Lansers, and looked upon the treasures of art tha triumphs of tho sonlptor's genius whloh are gathered there. In this old capital of the Renaissance, art overflows into the etreete, and the poorest laborer hastening to and from bis dally toll may gate upon xuaBterpleoos the like of which an found nowhere else, or if found are kept jealously guarded In galleries. Here stand the "Perseus" of Celllal, and another masterpiece a marble group taken from old mythology. Views of eome of the more remarkable statues grouped bore wero Bhown upon the soresn.

From art the lecturer turned to history, aud while his audience looked out npon tbe square recalled memories of the great men of genius who have made Florenoe famous. Traglo memories throng about the old Square of the Beuate. There upon the spot where stands the equestrian statue of the Medici, was ereoted the scaffold where was burned the body of Savonarola, monk, reformer and martyr. His portrait was appropriately placed upon the screen, as was also that of Lorenzo dl called the Magnificent, because of his munificent patronage. One cannot walk through Florence or even think of her without reoaillng that great house which reigned bere centuries ago.

The lecturer led his audlenoe through the halls of the UlUHl Palace, with their rare collection of worke of art, and Into tie Tribune, where stands the famous "Yenns dl Medici," that marvelous Btatuo found in the fifteenth century, and euppoied to be a copy of the work of Praxltlles, or perhaps the work of his band, and as its marvelous beauty fills the mind of the visitor he wonders what mannor of mon wore those old Greeks, whose genius was so transcendent. The Hall of the Nlobe was visited, snd then tbe lecturer led his audience through tbe olty to tbe house ot Dante, to tbe home of Mlshatl Angelo, to tho bridges over the Arno, to the Churoh of Santa Croco, in front of which stands a auporb statue of Dante. A monument to hie memory la within the churoh, but his dust sleeps in Ravenna. Here are the tomb of Miohael Angelo and the many of the grandest men In Florence's history. Then, procsdlng down the Arno, Pisa waa visited a city which sleeps in the bustling world.

Tha cathedral, the baptistry, the famous leaning tower and tha Oampo Santo or cemetery were visited. Baok again to Florence, and through, the environs, was the.next step, and a number ot splendid views were Among them tomb. Several views, were shown ot the Florentine villas, and when the trip.was ended the audlenoe could say they know something of Florence. The next lecture will be upon "SUily.and the NeapoJ ltan Shores." WBAPPED IK afOOSI 8KIN8. From the Bangor Commercial.

Boms time ago some boys, while playing. in. the rear of the Town Hall at East Maohlas, dlioaverod. what appeared to be the burial phot of an Indian. Tbo remalna have recently been exhumed, and1, are, perhaps, the most tnterestlnceverdlsoovered la.

It Is agalnBt the criminal, how over, that the organization is principally dlreoted, and as It oxiBts to day It scarcely affoota the personal tree dom ol any but those who habitually break the law. The criminal polioo of Paris, as lis namo implies, is charged with the maintenance of law and ordor, the protection ot porson and property and gouorally with tho prevention, pursuit and repression of crime. Tho temptation of the gay city, which all Parisians and moBt Frenchmen adore, with its dissipattouB, its hiding placoB and tho opportunities It offers to those vowed to a criminal career, are too potent to bo easily resisted, and the number of Illegal residents who brave all jisnai tioe of dotootlon generally roaches a high figure. Again, the clerical labors of tho oriminai section of turo are especially severe.

There is endless onto lug and registration, docketing, minuting, Indexing Innumerable small, a.o in course of prepara 1 on I 'h of building "is ofhees, with thoir infers alns industry, render invalu patient mlnu ely pain king r.rrchVmrb.y, TTZZ Tout for trial. bW the most notable feature of tho criminal police is not tho administrative bureaux, which work so quietly aud lndofatigably beblud the scones, but that portion of It which la constantly tn tvnicn'cc throughout tho city, In dally neighborly contact with its inhabitants, rendering them of services, groat and small, from putting them on the right road whon they miss their way to saving their pursss aud their lives. Tho constabulary organization of Parts la extremely comprohonslvo and complete. In each of the twenty arrondiBsementa into which the city is divided, the strong arm of tha law la represented by an offlcier de yaix, who Is In oloso and constant oommunloatlon with biB chief, the head of the municipal police. Every officier de pair goes dally at noon to the Profeoture to make a personal report and take Instructions.

Ho informs his chief, moreover, four times a day of tho condition of the arrondissements, and dispatches an Immediate and spocial tolographlo mossago giving tho particulars of any extraordinary ocourrence thorein. Tho police contingent under bis orders consists of a division of three brigades. Each of these brigades la on duty eight hours out of tho twenty four hours, and each la again subdivided tuto four eub brigades, one of hich Is charge of each of tho four quarters of the arroudisse ment. Each quartor Is made up of a variable number of ifots, or blocks of streets, and to each iot Is allotted a detachment, the individuals of which, following still tho Bystemof those reliefs, aro uninterruptedly engagod in the dutios of survolllance and patrol. Tho eer gent de ville or gardien de pafce, his official cognomen, Is the unit In the great array of figures so skillfully and compactly put together.

Recruited almost entirely from tho ranks of non commissioned officers retired from tho army, he preserves to the last a military air. Ho walks ornot, ho is neat and smart in his attire, from bis kepi, which has boon substituted for tho moro picturesque cocked bat, down to his well polished boots. Ho Is proud of the sword ho Is still pormittcd to carry, and which upon rare oocasions ho can draw and use with effect His conduct 1b gonerally as Irroproacliablo as flta boaring and demeanor. Vory searching inqulrios aro made luto biB antecedents before first appointment. He must be a man of blamelOBS moral character, and must have served without te praoh.

Aftor joining the force he ia closely watched and fiirprlaod. The discipline Is extremely strict. Drunkounoas Is puniBhed by dismissal, and ropotition of ovon minor offenses against the rules le visited with tho sanio penalty. Ho Is not highly paid. Tho salary of tha rank and die runs according to sorvloo, from five to six and a half dollars a week.

Sous brigadiers receive from seven to seven aud a half dollars weekly, brigadiers under five hundred a year. Aftor twenty five yearB ot "blameless eervioe," and service of the most irksomo and trying kind, the sergent ae ville can retire upon a pension of from $100 to $125 per annum. Ohangos cf station are not frequent, and tho soon know their i7o Indeed the whole quarter by heart. Whon It is nooessary to proceed to extremities an arrest is seldom made in publlo or before a orowd tho police profer to wait for their man round the oor ner, whero thoy can capture him unobserved, and where, in tbievcB' argot, he is easily emloffe, or "run in." Violence is seldom UBed resistance, If offered, must obviously be overcome. But thore is no tendoncy on the part of tho po'tco to exceod their powers on tho contrary, an going friendly bonhomie Js generally observable among all ranks.

A high official entering a prisoner's cell to cross examine blm will call him mon brave, ho offers him a olgar, and they Bit down elde by side to talk. If the asaused Is altogether without means to buy small luxuries beyond the prUon fare, a rano or two is sure to change hands at tho ond of the interview. This same spirit is noticeable in the rulo which bestows a loaf of bread upon every prisoner the moment he Is lodged at the depot of the Prefecture. The Idea 1b that the most hardened wretch may bo starving, that the less culpable may have been driven by event Into crime. SKY HIGH.

Rumored Dlsbandmout of the Voting Itlen'a Ccntrnl Kepubllcaii Club Fall iuc Off in the membership A Slim Attendance at ItlcctingSa land manifest Discontent Among Some of the members A Desire to Start a Similar Club Under a Now Name. Tho Young Men's Oontral Republican Club, not to be confounded with the Young Republican Club, which has its headquarters on State streot. Is not operating on bo firm a basis ae formerly, and the question as to whether or not It shall be disbanded altogether Is now ongsglng the attention of many of the members. It started out with a great flourish of trumpets, and was particularly prominent during the last campaign. Under lt3 ausplceB an linmenBO demonstration was given at the Academy of Music, and ou tho same evening it entertained General Grant and Henry Ward Beeoher at its elegaut quartors.

The club combined social pleasures with polities, aud as namo aftor namo was added to tho roll, and the record of Its doings was spread bofore the publlo la the newspapers, there was no end to the gilt edged anticipations of those who had been the prime movers in the organization. Garfield was oleoted, the olnb took to Itself no small credit for the results achieved in the country, aud tho prospects before them were considered bright as ever. But there was troublo ahead. The ardor of the Young Republicans was somewhat dampened by ugly rumors that filled the air, concerning peculations on the part of the late president and treasurer. Humor was verified, and no less a person than the then president of organization was found to be lnoulpatod.

A committee was appointed to investigate aocounts, and that committee is now hard at work, the gentlemen accused, to their oredit be it said, doing all In their power to make good the deflcienoy wbloh Is Charged against tbem. A written report of the work dona by the committee will be submitted at some future meeting of the olub.but not until all the money Is paid and until a word can be said in behalf of the aaeueed parties. Tho effect of this alleged dishonesty on the part of persona who were ot prominence was to throw an odium on the organization which greatly affected the membership. On one single night seven resignations were handed in, and a good many more followed, so that from a membership of nearly two hundred at tho start the figures dwindled down to almost half that number. There was a lack of ioterest In the meetings, and although notices without number were sent out, It waa with the greatest difficulty that many of the members could bo Induced to attend.

Then camo whispered oomplalnts, which at tho last meeting of the olub assumed substantia! form. Propositions for membership wero solic ited, and there waa but a very meager response. Desiring to strike while the iron was bot, one of the members claimed the floor and unbosomed him self. There was no disputing the fact that odium had been east upon the organization by the transactions of last Spring, and that the club was not held In the estimation It should be, by the young man of the psrty In theoity. While this state of affairs existed it waa nothing mors or less than idiocy to expect to gain any new members.

The elab would either have to change lta name, or a complete dlsbsndment would be forced before long. In this strain were remarks mads by some of the young men, the vast majority of whom thought a great deal mora than they said. Then tha olub went into executive session, and the question of dlsbsndment oame up, in dlsoussiug wbloh the opinion was expressed that it would be necessary to organize on new basis and with a now same, If the wisest course were to be pursued. There were some who believed that the club shonld lire down whatever odium It had Incurred, and by Its clear record In the future prove to the young men of the party that it wts In every respect worthy of their sympathy and support. Tho upshot of the whole matter was the ap.

polntmenl of a committee of fire to consider whether the name of the olub should be ohsnged, or whethe the organization shonld be disbanded altogether. The latter question Is still vndeolded and now the Oontral Young lupnb leans arc cogitating over the fact that their recent visions of glor, prosperity, hare ran. ished into air it not tU UBt 1, 1 It, ret tor will be brought to a summary olosa.
