THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. MARCH 25, 1877—BIXTEEN PAGES. LONDON GOSSIP. The New Monthly Review, the “Nineteenth Century. The Contributors to the Initial Number, and Their Articles. How Mr. Gladstone Sat Down npon a Juvenile Tory. The Water-Supply of the Metrapofis— Latest Fashions in Paris, Bpecial Correspondence of The Tribune. Loxpos, Eng., March 7.—The Nineteenth Cen- {ury—a pew monthly review, with the name of Jemes Knowles as editor upon the title-page— is just issued by Henry 8. King & Co. Mr. Knowles has been since 1870 connected with the Contemporary Review, succeeding the late Dean Alford aschief manager of its literary affairs; and, though some dispute exists as to his exact position with regard to it, there can be no doubt that he has held in fact, if not in name, the post of editor of that periodical. Under his man- agement, the Confemporary has offered a free ficld to champions of the various shades and degrees of philosophical, political, and theological opinion. The Contemporary having lately passed under the control of a company whosc leading directors were certain prominent men of Evangelical principles, the idea hasbeen conveyed to many of its former subscribers that, under the new direction, it was likely to become more exclusive in its character. The result has been the formation of a new monthly, . THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, to which many of the old Confemporary con- tributors have pledged their support,—among them, Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Areryll, and Dr. Carpenter. Public attention wus called to the new publication, a few. days before its ap- pearance, by an application to the Courtof Chancery, on the part of Strahan & Co., to re- strain King & Co. from publishing the projected review while continuing to be the publishers of the Contemporary. The reply of King & Co. affirmed that their publication of the Contem- porary- was due solely to the possession of a mortgaze upon that periodical, and that they were willing to relinquish all control of it on recciving the payment of the mortgage. The injuuction asked for to restrain the Century form appearing, was, therefore, refused; and the only result of the little skirmish has been to awaken curiosity, and advertise the new re- view. Tope first number opens with a prefatory sonnct by Tennyson, which may be characterized as Tennysonian in the extreme. One has not far to look for expressions such as: Tere, in this roaring moon of daffodil ‘And crocas; . and: 2 ‘Sworn to seek 1f any golden harbor be for men In seas of Death and eunless gulfs of Donbt. Toe poem is open to the criticism which might, 1 think, be urged against many of the Laureate’s later productions,—that it is unex- ceptional in general phraseology and rhythm, but is little more than the statement,in’ the flowery and measured circumlocutions of versq of facts which might have been briefly expressd inaline of mervous prose. Itssubstance do not amount to much more thaun, “We, wl lately discussed all topics in the Contemporar: have concluded to give our thoughis to tli world through the medium of the Nineleend Century.” MR. GLADSTONE’S ARTICLE, Qn the Tufluence of Authority in Matters ¢ Opinion,” has already awakencd considerabl interest and comment. Mr. Voysey, leader ¢ one of the new religious movements here, ar Mr. Haweis,®f the Established Church, knowa in America 25 the author of “ Music an orals.”’—have anuounced sermons on the su ject, and it has met with much discussion private circes. ‘Lhiere is certainly no necessary connection by tween Liberalism in politics and what is no generally termed Radicalism or Rationalism jf religion] still, it cannot but strike & reader somewhat singular that ideas so conservative i those embodicd in thisarticle are the utteranc of the great lcader of the Liberal party. M Giadstone disclaims at the outset the idca th: suthority can be reearded as the opposite of searching investigation into the lnu.‘l’), clares that it is one of the roads to truth. ThY al road,” he admits, would be a minute ic: vestigation of every step; but, since “penuryig of time and faculty does not permit to ever) individual this detailed inquiry, some steps musyj be taken in the footorints of others,—and bere B8 be claimg, is the sphere of competent and re- liable authority. The greater partof the articls is devoted to the applicability of the principle of authority to questions of religion.

But the rejection of suthority is 100 often th mind. Those who think lightly of the test: mony of the nfa&]fl:e tradition of their racd are often foun: e slaves of Mr. A. or Mr. B. of their newspaper or of their club.? Sir John Lubbock, in a_highly-statistical dis| cussion of * The Imperisl Policy of Great Bry ain,” sets forth to the satisfaction, doubtlesd ofmost Englishmen, that the mother-country b in ber relations with her various and importa; colonies, and has exercised her authority mo; With a view to their advantage than her own A quite different opinion, it is unnecessary tjid say, exists among foreguers, especially wit i reference to Ireland and India; but afl su carping critics are respectfully referred to thi proverd, * Fizures won't lie.” “TneChurch of England, Present and Fr ture,” is an _unusually calm 20d aispassionat! statement of the present condition and prospect] of the Nationat Church, by the ligent view of the peets of the Establishment by an attaches important member of the Church, as for its canl did admissions of certain defects, which th learned Bi fices, of which the Bishop says to be forced to say so, but we fear it must b said, frankly and Iairly, that there is now n likelihood that this evil will ever be effectually remedied.” The Bishop evidently consider: hat the dangers most to be dreaded are the an. tagonistic parties within the Church itself, an vre-eminently-the excesses of the party caile “Bitaslists.” Forms of religion change, but religion itsclf i & more constant quantity. aud one needs nevel despair of the religious fife of a people whenthy fect which of all others is most incumbered witl| erally interesting, is that of MATTHEW ARNOLD ON PALKLAND.” The readers of THE TRIBUNE will doubtlesq remember the project for s statue to thi forgotten hero of the Civil War, whi e “brought forward last fall on the anniversary of} the battle of Newbury. ~ The revival of intere: thus produced with regard to a character wl; ‘has for so long been to many but au histor frure in the pages of Hume and Clarendon, Las| brousht with it a corresponding meastre of critidisn, from which it is not difficult, gener- * ally, to deduce the present political ereed of the £pecial critic. Mr. Arnold dovotes some space foareview of these criticisms, and to his own particalar view of the “amiable Englishman of that unamiable time; he regards him as *th martyr of Jucidity of mind and largeness of temper, in a strife of imperfect intellizences and tempers illiberal.” The whole article is as per- suasively charming as the character of its ero, and some of tho ideas cxpressed are a6 original a5 they are just and forcible. f This first number of the new review scems fomewhat ponderous, and a little-lacking in variety, though not in diversity of contents,— 1he leading articles being controversial in tone; but, onthe whole, it s highly suggestivein its ch: T, and the new monthly is likely to re- flect a great deal of the scrious thought of the time. The fourth editiou is_alrcady nearly dis- poted of, and a firth and sixth may, it Is ot unlikely, be called for. The topicof most frequent recurrence in jour- nalistic and social circles during the last three weeks has been the * BETTING-DOWX," “ CASTIGATION,” * SCORCH- ING Pem such.are 2 few of the cpithets frequently em- plored—of Mr. Henry Chaplin by Mr. Glaa- &tonc, in the House of Commons. Mr. Chaplin isa man of considerable prominence in the social world, and is well known upon the turf, where he has had numerous successes, and has once carried off the blue ribbon of the Derby. By this victory bhe ruiped his successful " rival, the M:u-q‘uis of Hastings, whose bride is said to have been the betrothed of Mr. Chaplin to the very hour of her marrinze with the Marquis. Mr. Chap- lin has recently married a daughter of the Duke of Sutherland, and his own fortune is estimated at & very bigh fieurc. He has a town-honseand two country-houses, belongs to half-a-dozen clubs of the most exclusive stripe, has four church-livings within his gift, and, in short, is regarded as an enviable sort of person so far as the zoods of this world are concerned. His ac- quaintances deseribe him as overbearing in his Inanners, but very agreeable when he wishes to be so.—a description which would fit a_large class of men. He is only 37, and is still classed among the younz men of the Metropolis. Con- *siderable attention has been drawn to him this session by a whispered rumor that he entertains dreams of the Premiership,—a_goal which, at vresent, however, seems to ordinary cyes suf- ficiently distant. Your readers are doubtless acquainted with the terms of his attack ou Mr. Gladstone, and his insolent preseription to the ex-Premier of “ the only course which was open to him asa man of honor to follow.” From the beginning of the session, a select clique of juvenile Tories have amused themsclves by ascries of petty tactics directed agminst the’ old Jeader of the Liberals, such as calling him to order, explaio- ing to him a rule of the House, with other little anooyaoces resembling the acts of mosquitoes ‘worrying an old lion,—all of which tley called ** BADGERING OLD GLADSTONE." Mr. Chaplln’s attack, on the evening in ques- tion, is supposed to have been a concerted affair of the same sort, and hi: confederates on the Ministerial benches were awaiting the onslaught with mischievous gatisfaction. Mrs. Chaplin, the bride of lsst autumn, was in the Ladies' Gallery - for the purpose of behalding her husband’s anticipated triumph. Mr. Gladstone’s mild forbearance on former oceasions of a similar character, lately, had encouraged his impertinent tormentors to believe that his old prowess was on the wane, and this idea no doubt emboldened Mr. Chaplin togo farther in his language than any of his eld- cr and more experienced colleagues would have ventured. The House was in an unusually laneuid and indifferent state when Mr. Chaplin began his speech, but, as he proceeded, it rapi Iy woke up and filled, as_members’ came hurry- ing in, having heard of the anproaching combat from afar, and, when Mr. Gladstone rose to re- ply, the silence was 2s complete as- the interest was intense. Mr. Gladstone’s first seo- tences were hardly gudible; his volee appeared choked ~ with passion, ~and Tis countenance had a sort of bewildered look, as if be hardly yet comprehended the temerity of his assailant. ~ But, after Lord George Ham- ilton’s impertinent interruption, and the old statesman’s happy reply, in which he cstin- guished his' young ogronent under a burst of general laughter, Mr. Gladstone scemed to re- cover himself, and his subsequent composure, his unaffceted enjoyment of his own power and of the growing discomfiture of his opponent, his wonderful commaund of language and of all the {acts and illustrations bearing upon the subject, the perfect memory and self-possession which he took up liis assailant’s charg, perchied ol the vouates of the new dress ‘tke umbrella-ca , and uther opprobrious pames. On the othier han: 1, the admirers of the 7 present style call it s(:\luuaquu,l and they will not abandon it withont a strue o far, THE ONLY I\ 1 have seen in the pres- ent sheath-like, cuirass-hodied style, and four new tunics for day and cvening dress are al nounced to beworn over velvet skirt and sleeves; only, the new dresses are draped with more fine wringjes in front than before; and .are not §0 tightly drawn back. My own opinion is, that 1ile present style, with a slight modification to allow of greater frecdom in walking, isthe most ful which has been worn fory years, and that its statuesque beauty and absence pf cum- brous folds about the waist will not be lightly discarded. But the ‘openings’ of the great dressmakers will not be for a week or two, and then ¢ We shall see what we shall sce.’ Serfous political writers may smile at . the gravity with wirich these rumors of contemplated changes are conveyed, but they need have nro- doubt as to the interest with whicn the rumor witl be received. .History has a tradition thata necklace once -hastened a revolution, and there are no doubt epochs in which the dress of the time bas bad almost as much influence over women as its theology. Here, in London, no startling metamorphoses-are likely to be wel- comed for a week or two, for March has come in like a lion. Like a British lion, that is: not with heavy fall of snow or icy winds, as often with us, but with loweriog skies, and 8 raw,pene- trating air, which makes the passer-by shiver as e secs the straw hats and honnets, pereales and other spring raimeut displayed in the shop-win- dows. London is nevertheless filling rapidly, and Rotten Row and the principal streets are being put in order after the manner of a care- lass%(msekeeper who hastily makes ready for CriaRLES LANDOR. company. SECRET SOCIETIES. MASONIC. ‘The beautiful banner zotten up by Oriental Consistory for presentation to Philadelphia Consistory as’an evidence of their appreciation of the hospitality with which they were enter- tained during their visit to the Centernial, was formally put in the possession of the Philadel- phis body about o week ago. The Committee intrusted with the testimonials were Brothers® A. R. Potter, Charles H. Kingston, and Samuel C. Perkins. The latter made the spocch, which was responded .to by ,Brother A. Robend, Jr., Commander-in-Chief of the Philadelphia Con- sistory. CHARITY. Brother Harry R. Comdy, Grand - Master of Montana, says: ‘We are tanght that three prlnczplc! are essential to the character of all Masons and all good men, fo- wit, faith in the wisdom and goodness of God, bope 1o jmmortality, and charity towards all man- Xind. One may profess the firat two atiributes. but withont the last he is but a hollow sepulchre of selfishness, and Incks the lizht of the soul, for how can he expect that God shall be claritsble towards him if he is not 50 toward his neighobor? Ie that recognizes no oblization in his natare to relieve his fellow-man can be but 2 cold pillar of self, and is adorned by no living light; he may eke out a miserable existence, but he'can mever know the joys and hs[:ggncs_s with which sympathy and charity towards his fellow soothes and _calms the troubled lheart, and warms and in- spires the purc sentiments of humanity. e it passes by on the other side his fallen brother, and merely points at him as a warning, and sceks not to ald him with & helping hand, althongh in public display he may give profusely of his abun- dance, ia buta fraud and a_cheat, and lacks the noblest princjple of manhood—that of charity. INDIVIDUAL EXERTION. Brother Cornelius -Hedges, Grand Secretary of Montana, says: The worst tendency, not only In Masonry, but it runs through all the” organization of modern so- ciety, is o do everything through and depend en- tire ¥ upon, some ofiicial agency, doing away too much with individual exertion and charity. While the same means thus employed cun morc easily ac- complish ereater resulte, there is lost the cultivating and humanizing infilucnce upon individual char- acter that is too important an clementto b over- looked. The two featares must be combined. There must be left plenty of room and play for in- dividual activity and charity, and not only so, but Masonry needs 1o correct much of the very gen- eral notion entertained about its work. Opening and closing Lodges, and conferring degrees, is nothing but'the dry, uninteresting, and compars- tively unimportant preparation for work in subdu- inz yassions, ministering to the sick, aflicted, and deetitute. Never think you have made a Mason 1ill you are eure that it has touched- aud entered -he heart as well as the tongue and head. We are tanght that it is in the heart that onc is firet pre- parcd to be made 2 Mason. 1t isalso the finishing place, unless it miscarricsaltogether. UNIVERSALITY OF MASONRT. Tn anzarticle in the Voice for April, Brother William Romseville says: Masonry is univereal. The obligation to aid a Dbrother in distress {8 equally extensive. Lodge bounds do not cartail its ield of influence or opera- tions. When we will aid and cherish only those that belong to our lodge, we narrow Masonry down to amere township afisir, and nallify iis prin- ciples and'change its action throughont the world. Once estabiish a4 a rule_ that each Todge shall care the hand of therhood will be less tenacious than a rope of d, and a8 little to be trusted for any good for and aid its own members only. an b et i The irne spirit of Masonry requircs that a mem- her ~hall be assisted whenever or wherever, or by whatsoever brotber, he shall be found to stand in need, whether be is at home with his lodge or halt the earth’s circumfcrence away, and the obligation i us binding in the one case 85 the other, Unless this be so, the profession that Masonry is cosmo- politan—that itis universal—isa deception. and the institntion is_resolved into numberlees little clans, eelfish and exclusive, each caring only for its own. and antagonizing all others. And shonid the old way prevail of **succoring the distressed,” whenever a worthy brother was found, there wonld be little nardship experienced by the Jodgeina finunciul view. That one which ebould aid a necdy brother of another to-day, would have one of -its own members retieved - to-morrow, and &0 good ofiices would go roupd, and every needy brother would be relicved and no lodzge impoverisiied.

On Saturday, as the resident brother was about leaving for his office, the partner (in part) of his joys %Jcckoned him aside. 3 ¢ WWilliam,” she solemnly remarked, *“I should like to have you describe to me the per- formances at the Oricntal Opera-House.” “I! my dear,” said he. *‘I certainiy know nothing more about them than you have seen in the HMorning Tower.” - %Qh, yes, you do, William ?

Boston Journal's London Correspondence. ‘We must admit that our cousins here are ad- vancing remarkably in taste in some directions, but W& mon’t admit that it is in aress. Oh! no! far from it. Stay! I don't koow though, be- cause when one begins to sce ‘his own faults he generally trics to correct them,and a little para- graph in this week’s copy of Mayfair—a fashion- able literary weekly—leads me to fancy that some English people begin to see themselves as others see them. This paragruph speaks as fol- lows: “Did the Princess Louise and the Princess Beatrice forget, when ordering their dresses for the ceremonial in the House of Lords on Thursday, that.they would stand together on the steps of the throne? The Princess Lonise wore a garnet velvet dress, trimmed with cream satin and steel, while the Princess Beatrice was radiant in a dress of Ar- mure cardinal and fawn-colored poult de soic trimmed with Brussels lacc and embroidery of fawn-colored chenitle, with red and bronze foliage. Considered “individually, neither of these dresses was pretty, and by contrast with the delicate costume of the Princess of Wales they looked, to tell the truth, a trifle tawdry.” This from Mayfair, and now thisfrom an Amer- ican lady who knows what she‘is falking about, and who went to the opening of the Parliament. She writes a sprightly—I" didn’t say *spite- ful—article in ~Truth—Labouchere’s ~ weekly —in which she_says: ‘“What wraps some of the preat ladies wore! Is there - anything more hideous -than a. shawl worn Square and pinued under the chin?- A shawl, too, that can be made into graceful drapery with half a thought.

They were out yesterday, wading -through the slush and . jumping the pools, and one. of them fell *‘kersplash!” as she passed the Soldiers’ Monument. A man standing thirty feet away began laughing up-. rogriously. He got red in the face, tears came to his eves, and his hat fell off as he laughed and cried out: * Went right down like a bag of sand,—slush a foot decp, starched up tokill,—never saw any- body look so cheap—oh! ho! ho! ho!” “You are no gentleman, sir!” remarked a man who had witnessed the mishap. = ‘¢ Can’t help that—ha! ha! ho!” laughed the other, bending almost double. - * You haven't the first mstincis of a gentlo- man, sir! ”? continued the other, growing very mad. 1 know it, but ho! ho! ho!”* screamed the other. “I know.just how she felt as she went. go\'v,r: carrying all’ that style, and I—ha!ha! al - “1 don't see anything so very funny in it growled the other. * No, you don’t, but I—!

A CHINESE ROMANCE. Chu and wife livedwith a nephew and wife in a house in Tung-lwwuy. The uncle was a dyer and the nephew was a tailor; their wives were congenial, and they all were happy. Last spring the nephew died, and his wife vowed - that she would be true to his memory and never marry again. In November Mrs. Chu’s mother died, and the dyer and his wife were compelled to 2o to Shaou-peh to attend the funeral and settle up the estate. As they did not wish to leave the beautiful’ young widow unprotect- ed in the house, they asked an old neighbor to stay with her during their absence. Now there lived in the town a soldier numed Chao Tebshen, a bad man, who had becn cast- ing sheep’s cyes at the widow. He armed him- self with a dagger, and about midnight jumped over the wall of the house, and, cntering the widow’s room, threatened to kill her. She re- {gliud by offering ber throat to the dagzer. Sud- enly the.door was kicked open, and in rushed a tall fellow, who wrestled the dagger from the ruflian’s band and threw him on the floor. The widow rushed out to arouse the superannuated neighbor, and the bad man was secured with a coil of ropc. Then the necighbors flocked in, and, rccogmizing the soldicr, set tn hammering him. Then they turned turned to the widow’s gallant defender and asked him who he was and how he hnvpene!l {o be in the house. ¢ My name is Tsao,” suid the tall stranger; “Tam a robber by.trade. I was passing through the town, and having no money came into this house to steal something; but findin%this fellow bere on a worse errand than mine I made him fast.” The defender of in- nocence was a robber. But the neizhbors thought so well of him that they raised 2 sub- scription and collccted enough money to sct him up in an honest trade. ‘The pad man went to prison; the virtuous robber hasn’t married the widow yet. A WOMAN WIIO WAS A JOCKEY. Temple Bar. There is a tradition in Yorkshire of a clever jockey who was a girl, but so far as wecan learn it is only a tradition. We may, however, record that a lady twice rode in matches on a public race-course. This was Mrs. Col. Thornton, and the races were ran at Doncaster. The lady won one -of the races, although she had for her op- ponent the best professional horseman of the day—Franeis Buckle, The Iady’s horse was catled “ Louis2.” the horse ridden by the jockcg was named ‘‘Allegro.” About Lalf-past o'clock on the 23d of Scptemoer, 1805, the match came off, Mrs. Thornton appearing in a purple jacket and cap, nankeen riding-skirts and em- broidered stockings, with purple satin_shoes. At starting “ Louisa’ took the lead and made the ruoning for a considerabie way, when *¢Al- legro’ went up and headed her for a few lengths; the lady then challenged Buckle, and after a pretty contest won the race in_good style. Her bold and excellent riding elicited the admiration of -the asscmbled thousands. The race was for acup of the value of £700. The lady had previously ridden in a match of which a descriptionis given in the annals of “racing in Yorkshire.” Her dress on that oc- casion is minutely described, particularly her chaussure; white silk stockingg, with white satin shoes, havinz buckles of solid gold ornamented with diamonds. Buckle, who opposed the lady, was a successful and hard-working jockey; from the year 1733 to 1831 he was indced e horse- man of his day. - ¥ TWO LOVERS. : Astoryis told of a youog lady living in Enst Rockport, 0., who had two lovers—a Ddver farmer and a Cleveland salesman. The farmer met his rival on the highway one dark night and attacked him with a knife, but the Indy rushed between them and prevented bloodshed. Rusticus sulked on bis farm for a day or two, and then challenzed his rival to meet him and fight it ont. It was dooe a week azo Wednes- day in o ten-acre lot. Not withpistols nor shot- guns, but with fists, 2 mutual friend sittine on 2 fence near by; and by meaus of a revolver en- forcing fair play. After a rough-and-tumble fight. Jasting threcquarters of an Lour, the country lover cried “Enough!” The mutual friend made out a certificate of the result, be- hind which the young lady, as there was no donble return, refused to_go, and the Cleveland salesman was duly awarded the prize. There was no cloud oa his title. FOR WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS. Demorest's Aonthly. . It is contrary to custom to invitewguests to the marriage of a widow. ~If 2 widower marries .8 young girl, the etiquctte is the same as that of o first marriage.

CHICAGO, March 2L.—T have becn connected with the sewerage department of this city for the past ffteen years, and, although I may not be competent to assume the title of * Sanitary Enginecr,” or be able to throw .any sclentiflc light upon the subject of perfect drainage, yet I would like, while the question of sewerage is agitating the public mind and the present sea- son just opening, call the attention of builders, architects, aud the public generally, - through the columns of -your paper, to two —most important points necessary to secure a safc and healthy house drainage, and if these two points are carefully heeded nothing further is necde First—Employ competent sewer-builders on! Don’t employ scalawags clicaper, but pay a little more, and get responsi- le parties. :There are plenty of them in the iness who fecl that it is their duty todo §ond work, and that there is a great responsi- ility resting upon them in the health and lives of the gecpauts of the houses they sewer. Second—Have nothing but strictly .No. 1 vitrified pipes uscd. The sewer-builder is re- fl)aume for this to the extent .of his license. 00d pi are o cheap now that thereis no Decessity to use anything else, and yet it is dona in spite of the inspection by ceriain builders, Who, if they can only say to the tenant, * Sew- erisin,” itis all they care for..

This could be done for a few thousand dollars, cut off from Messrs. F. S.Winston's and R. R. McCurdy’s fat salaries. I would suggest that the policy-holders of the Mutual Life residing in Chicago meet and take some action on this report of -the New York Committee. Let ussec if the policy-holders, who are the oncs who should have something to savin the matter, cannot know alittle more about the busicess of the Company in which they are so z)cenlg interested. i The expense of simply securing each pol{g obtained by the Mutual in 187 averaged $1t Another company, cousidered good and sound, E:\h.l out $10 only for the same object.

CoTTAGE GROVE POLICE-STATION, March 24.— As the Post of ¥ridav evening, the 23d inst., contains o long and “flaming® sensational ar- ticle calculated, if not intended, to reflect on the vigilance and efliciency of the officers of our station, we owe it to the police force in gen- eral, and to ourselves in particular, to inform the public through your columns that no “mys- terious shooting® took place ‘““on the cor- ner of Thirty-first street and ~ Indiana avenue at 7 o’clock on the night of Thursday, the 22d inst. And of the utfer falschood of the statement, we whose beat converges to and diyerges from the very spot indicated in the sensational article, are prepared to make oath no shooting took place at, or near, or in the proximity of Thirty-first strect and Tudiana av- enue. We know the locality right well, having been for some time on that wallk or beat. . Apain, we have been talking to one of the parties, namely, “Scrip,” who positively says he was not there, by any means, on the night referred to in the Post’s article. I anmhcnd that the mythic reporter and “ Major" had ex- istence only in “the air,”? and, whilst taking an “airing” in_our proverbially quict neighibor- hood, wished to creato a sensation.

CmicAGo, March 2L.—Some millions of dol- lars have already been expended on the South Park and its connecting boulevards, but tiic ac cess to it is very inadequate. There ought to be some means by which the great, common people, aswell as the rich and aristocratie, can reach the park at all hours of the day and on every day of the week, especially on Sunday, the holiday of the people of the indastrial classes, whom the inexorable demands of per- sonal and family support preclude from visit- ing it during the week. The people are coming more and more to recoguize the broad and hpmane interpretation of the Sabbath, given by the Great Teacher, to the effect that man was at Tiberty to use the ‘Sabbath in any way in which it womld really. promote his own welfarc: “yne Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” Thata general putting aside of business.on the Savbath is on the whole beneficial to men, cannot be questioned. . The string of the bow must be relaxed. or the bow will lose its power. So the human mind and the buman body necd the rest of a Sabbatn. But inaction is not always rest. The men, wom- en, and children who are compelled to spend . their week d:s‘s in the heated and impure atmosphere their shops aod homes, sigh for the green ds and the pure and frpgrant air of the great open spaces which have been consecrated to the peo- ple for breathing-places. Sunday is the onl day upon which the artisan can_take his wife and children from their peat-up home, and give them recreation in the great parks of the city. The urgent need, then, is for a street-railway to the park. At present, the Indiana avenue line extends only to the city limits,— Thirty-ninth strect. This should be made, 2 double-track railiway througn Indiana avenue to Fifty-fifth street, on the South Park. The. Chicazo City Railway Company wounld doubt- tess find this a paying investment, as great numbers of peovle who canunot afford to kcep or hire carriages would take the street-cars to the park. “The improvement would also givean impetus to real estate transactious in the vicinity of the park, and advance the value of all the property along the line. Let us have the rond at once. AN UNDAPPY LANDLORD. To the Editor of The Tribune. CmicaGo, March 24.—1 own eeveral houses and lots, but have not beenable to pay my taxes for the simple reason that rents arc so low and taxes so high thav it s impossible for me to zet money enouzh to get a decent living. It is very hard to get responsible tenants, and I bave been taken in so often by zood refercuces that I be lieve nobody or nothing. Bennett’s book of 5,000 dead-beats is “a pretty good guide as far as it goes for Iandlords and tenants, but the population . of Chicago is 8o changeable that it is impossible et them all, and a man may be zood to-day and poor to-morrow. I believealmostall would pay their taxes if they could, and it is only since 1873, when the panic occurred, that people began to fight their taxes. I am in hopes that the good times are soon coming so that tenants will be able to pay their rents and landlords to pay their taxes. 1 think if landlords would in- sist on security by chattel mortzage on furni- ture or othecwise, that poor tenants would move fariher out, and get houses that are withintheir means, and not rent the best-houses nearcst to business, thus driving good tenants that can Pay their rent into the suburbs, leaving the landiords with one or two montbs’ rent, and the rest of the year with promises that are mever filled, and no money to pay taxes with. Ithink an empty house 18 better than'a poor tenant. LANDLOED. WHAT REYNOLDS THINES. To the Edltor of The Triduze. Crrcaco, March 24.—It zives me pleasure_ to learn that President Hayes bas said, * No more scctionalism,” and a glorious response has come from the people. ® 5 It gives me pleasure to learn that ex-Mayor Hoyue and others have said, **No more party for Chicazo,’ and so say the people fu an unani- myus response. i Now, r. Editor, I trust I will not tax or.im- pose upon you if I ask you to publish a few Buggestions, written not in a spirit of selflsh- ness. It is P‘.nin]y to "be .scen . that “the press is the only lever in the handsof the people to bring back. the Government of the United States to'the control of its sovercizns. ~When men propose to sct themselves up as r'ulers, and by arbitrary and dishonest meaps obtain the suffrage of the people, and subject .the. people to their peculiar policy, then a time has arrived for the people to -act uninfluenced “ by their would-be leaders. 1t s time the press.came to the reseue of the people azaiust thelr self-von- stituted rulers, and give us not “‘a rest,” but an active _campaign - on the . part of the 3 opposed leadership.

They may tell yon it is only for use in rear of catch-basins or gr conn- try trade, but the “thinness of this assertion is ouly equaled by the thinness of the pipe.” This stuff is not. fit for anything but pure-water drainaze, and the sewer-zas and acids will- go through it the same as common clay drain-tile. The reliable sewer-builder will not use this stuff, of course, but still others will, and there is 2 good chance also of a few pieces belng slipped into the orders of the best sewer-build- er, and when it is on the ground—well, it will be used, and the tenant of that house will be m(bu!rlnz, “Whence comes this offensive air and this ill-health in my family?” It is the duty of every builder and architect to watch these two points with utmost care, lest they, thronzh the sewer-builder, commit, in a moral point of view, murder. SewER-BUILDER. CORNED VERSUS FRESH BEEF. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmicaco, March24.—Your correspondent, C. B.,” in discussing the question of opering a trade witn England on salted or * corned beef,”” gives an intimation that with a small capital 2 very profitable trade in that line may be estab- lished. It is conceced that fresh beef, dressed, can be transported to Eosland by means of refrigerating cars and refrigerating rooms in steawboats, and marketed there to mood al- ‘vantage, griving the shipper a fair proiit and Eo- gland a good beef at o reduced price. This be- ing so, certain questions arise which need to be. settled before I should be willing to _invest in a compauy formed for curing and shipping corn- ed beef. First—Can a cheaper quality of beef be used for the trade in corned-beef than can be in the fresh beef trade? ] Second—Or can inferior portions of thecarcass be used for that purpose, Icaving the better por- tions for roasts, steaks, ete.? - Third—Woull corncd-beef bring a bhigher price than fresh beef, the qualities of eazh being the sawe; and if -so, wonld the difference in price be sufficient to pay for the expense of caring? I should be pleased to hear from C. B. on these questions. THE “1.-0.” 7o the Editor of . The Tribune.
