Boston, Feb, 28.—The stock murket opened steady with atirm tone, in sympathy with the New York market, but the reaction there led to some timidness and lower prices, but at the close there was a better feeling, with a partial recovery of values.

The British markets were again depressed, which was sup- posed to be due to the expectation of big sup- plies on-the ieduced freight rates. This andthe stiffening in ocean freights have fully counter- balanced the’ rail'freight change for tho mo- ‘nent, and furnished an arguement in favor of Jower prices here. There were some who thought that the fecling on tho other side of the ‘Atlantic will be only temporary, and that ocean rates will weaken when it is found that there will be no material incréase in the forward movement of produce before the opening of navigation. But they did not buy much here Saturday on the strength of the opinion. ‘The: advices were particularly depfessiig in . the case of corn, , a reported decline of 6d being accompanied by orders to resell some cargoes which had been pought here for export. One case was report ed in which the coru will go forward neverthe- jess.

More buyers are present than are usually seen {othe market so carly in the senson, and the yolume of muil orders, also, is unusually liberal for the time of year. Prices of both cotton and woollen fabrics are sustained with unequivocal firmness. Boots and shoes were moderately active and firm, The demand for gro- ceries continues to improve. Tho in- creased inquiry has had a strengthening effect upon values of the leading staple articles, though no important advance has resulted as yet. Dried fruits remain quict, with most va- ‘rieties quoted easy. Currants and blackberries were firm. The fish market was unchanged. Dairy products remain firm, under moderate offerings and a good demand. No changes are reported in bagging, leather, tobacco, coal, and pig-iron. Olls were quiet and about steady. Lumber was steady, under a fair demand from the interior. The wool market was firm, with a fair demand from Western manufacturers. Seeds were firmer, under a fair inquiry with moderate offerings, especially of fino clover. Hides ruled slow and weak, except fine light green-cured stock, which was wanted by the local tanners. Hay wassteadicr, The sales of poultry were rather small, and chiefly to the city retailers, and prices were irregular under fair offerings. Green fruits were steady. Letters from Saline County, Mo., Logan and Livingston Countics,in thisState, and other points in the section between these generally give good accounts of the winter wheat.

A Tory View of the Social Distance Between Wealth and Poverty in America—Fifth' Avenue Farther from the Five Points than Belgravia from Bethnal Green. London Telegraph. “Ttisalong way,” once exclaimed Mr. Bright, “ from Belgravia to Bethnal Green,” but at least we may solace ourselves in En- gland with the thought that upon the other side of the Atlantic it is still a longer way between Fifth avenue and the Five Points. That the leveling and assimilating influences of democracy have'no power to bring tiétich and the poor closcr together is abundantly évidenced by the existing conditions of society in the United States. It is doubtful whether half-a-dozen years'since any other country in the world ‘simultaneously contained three such prodigiously opulent “men as the late Commodore Vanderbilt, | the late A. T. ‘Stewart, and the still- living Mr. Astor.” Two. out of the three commenced life ag poor men, and left for- tunes cf which the capitalized value was in each case at least £20,000,000 sterling. Since the death of his father Mr. William I. Van- derbilt is popularly believed to haye consid- erably increased the enormous wealth which came mainly into his hands. At the same time we are told that all over i South the negroes are in-rags, and, during the hard times which prevailed in the United States from 1874 until the autumn of last year, it was currently reported that as many beggars were to be found in great American cities as there are mendicants assembled upon the steps of every chureh in Rome. Sturdy. tramps patrolled tho Western States in large bodies, io the terror of residents in lonely farn-houses upon the prairies, and it was dif- ficult for strangers to realize that, writing from Boston in i8!2, the late Charles Dickens exclaimed: “There is not a manin this town or in this State who has nota blazing fire and meat dinner every day of. his life. nor would a flaming sword .in the air attract so much attention as a beggar in the streets.” ‘Tho United States have within.a generation served to show that forms of gov- ernment have notliing to do with the wealth or poverty of individuals, and that New York has already begun to. tread. servilely in the steps of London and of other -great European-sities. ‘At this moment the season in New York is atits hight. Brilliant balls, supper-partics at which Lucullus or Apiclus might have assisted, luxurions entertainments of all kinds, are of nightly occurrence, und it is reported with pride by one of our New York contemporaries” that -in a. single week $100,000, or £30,009, were spent in balls, Another M. Dupin imight arise to write a fresh essay upon the “Luxe Eifréné_ des Femines,” and if would no longer be in Paris but in New York :that his stinging sermon would have to be preached to unheeding ears. Many of the fashionable and dazzling beauties of New York represent in each case an expenditure upon their toilets of $20,000, sor £4, “as they stand up in ‘a. ball-rooin,” _ while simultaneously the shop of Mr. Tiffany, the great jeweler of the Empire City, is crowded, we are told, by eager purchasers of diamonds, em- eralds, and sapphires from morning to night. Fortunes, lizhtly accumulated, are nowhere spent more lightly than in the United States, and the hum of prosper ‘whlalt, began 12 make itse! istinetly heard 01 ne October last has led naturally to thet ‘‘enter- tainmént boom? which at. this moment oc- cupied New York to the exclusion of un- welcome thoughts about the many. toilers, both white and black, who, throughout the length and breadth of the Great epublicy but in a far more literal sense, are in the sa condition of Miss Flora MeFlisy, who “had nothing to wear.” To sad, and spber minds the thought might oceasionally occur that, as Aristotle prophesied more than twenty centuries ago, democracies have an irresist- ible tendency’ to merge into plutocracies, and { that the existence of opulent families in re- proved to $1254, declined to $1.2436, and advanced t9 publican States leads naturally, in afew gen- closing at : t FLOUH—Dull and heavy; receipts, 930) bris; super changed: inzot Inkd dull at 23(@%c.

Suffice it fe se or us to notice that even in En- gland there is not at this moment eo wide & gulf between rich and poor asin the United States, anti having said thus much we must leave ‘Mr. ‘Thurlow Weed to reconcile hiln- self a3 best he may to those growing tere! cies towards inonarely amoug his compatr ots of both sexes which eaust hini such anx! ety. ‘Our Government,” exclaims Mr. Weed, “does not seem strong, enough to gssert itself, Our population is increasing” very rapidly, the expansion and development are Wonderful and amazing, and under such cir- cuinstances a Governinent needs to be an ought tobe increasing in strength. Never- theless, I see every day, and with more and more dismay, our assimilation to English habits, Eng! ish ideas, and even. English costume.” “Phere wag once 4 time when no “free-born American citizen” would condescend to wear the plush of a_liveried servant; but now we hear with alarm that colored liveries. and velvet collars are much too common in New York upon men-servants to please the severe and simple taste of Mr. Thurlow Weed. In the same breath Mr: Weed showed with pride to his interviewer a ring npon his finger which was sent to him by the Thurlow family in England, and simultaneousiy pointed to a portrait of Lord Chancellor Thurlow which hung upon the wall, ‘The bones of Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin might well rattle in their graves when it is announced by an American citizen of high repute that plush, powder, and liveries have a tendency to re- appear in New-York, and that there is an in- creasing eraze for armorial bearings among his repabiican brothers and sisters,—a craze from which the veteran. wire-puller of ‘Albany does not'seem himself to be wholly exempt. It woul: alarm him still more were he aware that_every American of reflection who comes to England uplifts his warnip yoice against the mischiefs of universal sut- frage, and bids us beware of following an oxainple which has been preghant with wo to the United States, Nevertheless, My. Thurlow Weed may con- sole himself by, the thought that during the colossal Civil War in. his own country, of which he was. witness, his Government, which now seems to him to be too weak to assert itself, manifested a strength and vigor which might have awakened envy in the breast of the great Napoleon when at the ze- nith of his power; and which at this moment the antocratic Emperor of All the Russias would not dare to emulate. , If Itouch that bell,” said Mr. Seward to a ‘foreign Ambassa- dor. in the midst of the Civil War, “I can have any citizen arrested In Chicago or San Franeiseo at my will and without a legal warrant, and cah your Government say the saino?”” The American Government is. still just strong enough to discharge stich fune- tons as rightly belong to free countries. In the meanwhile it may be a consolation to Mr, Thurlow Wetd to know that in every Capital of the Old World Where wealth abounds the season, ‘or, in _othet wotds, that portion.of ‘the year which ig set apart for fashionable entertaininents and amusements, has a marvelous resemblance to that which inkew Work arouses hls fears. The London fason, for instance, is close at hand, and we entertain no doubt that within the next four months there will be many weeks.In each of. whieh £20,000 will be spent in this metropolis upon entertainments, Nor is the profuse ex- penditure of the opulent classes upon what may appear in the eyes of severe moralists to be frivolous amusements without its eor- responding advantages to their poorer broth- ers and sisters. . Many of the London trades- men and hotel-keepers will be ready to aver that there is to them as much difference be- tween a good and a bad season as to the inhabitants “of Eaxyt between what is called a gootl and a bad Nile. Thrift or economy rapidly assumes the puis of par- simony when tlivse favored individuals who have walimited' means refuse to give fo their supertluity for the benefit of others. It may be that entertainments carried to excess are not the best way to spend money wisely, but atany rate every “brilliant ball’ leads to anexpenditure which flows through many rivulets and channels, and enables hundreds of obseure and humble toilers belonging to both sexes to gain their daily brend. It can- not, however, be inopportune to remind our transatlantic kinsmen that New York is rap- idly conforming to the type of London and Paris, and that forms of government are in- adequate to shape or mold, the fundamerital traits of human nature. Satirists will one day arise to point out, after the manner but rarely with the vigor of Juvenal, that young New York is developing the vices and fash- inns of ancient Rome, and that “republican simplicity” is a dream worthy of the imag- inative brains which long ago: produced More’s “Utopia” or Sir Philip - Sidney’s “Arcadia,” but incapable of realization in cities teeming with millionaires. OUR DRINKING-WATER. It Is Utterly Unfit for Use Without Filtering. During the past few days, Dr. I. N. Dan- forth, of No. 3:9 West Adams street, has been engaged in examining some specimens of the city water provided him for that pur- pose by the Mayor, and yesterday he made a report to his Honor of the result of his ex- amination. A Tripune‘reporter during the day secured a few minutes’ conversation with the Doctor, who briefly but succinctly made him acquainted with the most im- portant results of his microscopical and ana- lytic researches of ‘the specimens of water brought under his attention. Said the Doc- . tor, producing at the samé time three clear- glass auart-bottles filled with water: “These bottles contain the water which I have examined. These two bottles, which, you will notice, are labeled respectively four minutes’ and ‘ten minutes,’ were filled from city taps. The former was fill by the Mayor in the following manner; At- taching a Silex filter to one of the taps in his house he allowed the water to run through it for four minutes. He then ‘reversed filter and saved the water which was then passed through it, and which of course con- tained the impurities which had been pre- viously caught He the filter sand, Hold the bottle up to the light, and tell me what you ee. ‘The reporter did as requested, and was somewhat startled to find that not only was the bottom of the bottle coated with avery Girey-looking sedimentary deposit, “ but also that the clear water above was alive with animalcule, which darted hither and thither, up down, with that peculiar, jerky movement common to the “wigglers” found in stagnant pools. Some of them were so small as to be barely visible to thenaked eye, while others were of comparatively formid- able proportions. Waving watched the wig- glers for a minute, the reporter took a large inagnifying glass which the Doctor handed him and found that the bottle was peopled with myriads {of water-monsters, the larger of which were of very forbidding aspect, “This water is even worse,” said the Doc- tor, as he produced the second bottle. “It was taken by Dr. De Wolf from the tap in the Health Officein exactly the same way as the other, except that the water was allowed to run for ten minutes instead _of four minutes, as in the previous case. You will notice that the sediment is thicker and darker than in the other bottle, and that the evidences of Infisoral tite ‘are store earn was asthe Doctor said. The s i the bottle was thick and viscid, and the water was full of Hite animals, whieh darted about even more energetically than In th el bottle. The Doctor then produced. the chin bottle, which was Inbeled “from the crib,” and contained water which presented a bet- ter appearance than thespecimens previous! observed, but which still contained a small nummer of Anfusorie aud § light deposit of sediment, from whic! ubble: tng bottle was shaken: Pe S sarose when “Do you remark those bubbles?” the Doc- torasked. “They are caused by is vary unhealthy.” Dy gn Wilh “Whatido you officially reportas th sult of, your examinations of these ‘speck: nen: f “ My report is, in brief, that the tw i- mens of water taken teal the city and ‘the third specimen from the crib are very un- healthy: are filled, in fact, with infusorial life, which shows that they are virtually pane.

T am not so stire but that the epidemic of diphtheria is caused by it This disease Keeps making its appearance where we least expect it,—where the condi- tions, outside of the impure water, are least favorable to its breaking out,—and, under the circumstances, I think itis safe to charge it to the present condition of the water. “The water baa heen before in just as evil condition, has it no! 5 sf of think not. ‘The water supplied ‘from the Crib is generally very good; the avater we are now drinking is abominable. ‘There has been a great deal of exaggeration in reports reviously published about the city’s water; Bat ‘this time, without malcing any sensation- al statements, it will suffice to say that it is not fit to drink unfiltered.” “What recommendation do you make in r be. set one at ‘alls but what I do recommend is that, before any steps are taken, in the way of fete to remedy the present trouble, or rather to prevent its recurrence We havéa careful survey made of the Jake, near the city, with a view to discoyering the best point to have the tunnel extended to, if, indeed, it turtis out that its extension is necessary. The best point is, of course, that which is freest from contamination by the sewage discharges fromthe city. When the tunnel wis built to its present terminus the city had a population of about 200,000. It now ‘has a opulation of about 450,000 and its sewage has been quadrupled in quantity. In twenty years from now Chicago will contain a jnillion people and the sewer discharges will be four times what they are now, all of which shouldbe taken into, consideration in fising the terminus -of the water-supply tunnel.” « How would you have this survey made?’ All that is necessary isa row-boat, a mus- cular man to puil itaboutthe Jake, and ainan possessing good common sense together with a thorough knowledgeof microscopy and fair ability asa chemist todo the necessary brain- work. ‘The niusculnr inan’s duty would be to miove the microscopist about the lake, while he, for a period of not less than 865, days, kept filling bottles with water which he would label according to locality, depth at which filled, and other particulars, and whieh he. would subsequently subject to microscopical and chemical tests, the result ‘of which should be, of course, carefully noted. ‘The tests should be made under all sorts of different conditions, in different depths of water, atdifferent temperatures, in different weather, with the Fullerton avenue conduit running and closed, with high water in the river and with low water in the river, with east winds blowing and west winds blow- ing,—under all possible conditions, in fact, wiich might affect the quality of the lake water. The tests should be made in semi- circles from_point to point of the lake shore opposit the Crib, Let the first test be made to cover the water contained in a semicircle running suy half aimilt into the Take; the seednd outside of this, and extending half a mile further out, and so on until the survey had been earricd out to a distance of five or more miles if necessary.” *4Vould you undertake the job, Doctor?” “No, sir; Lam too busy, but there are lots of men who could doit thorough. y Well; but the survey must be well done, and earinot b welt done unless a year is given to it. ‘The expense would be Very light but the advan- tage arising from it would. be very great, in- eed. i LICENSED TO WED. for Matrimonial Honors Last Weck. ‘The prevailing Lenten dullness in the mar- ringe-license market prevailed last week, and will undoubtedly continue until the end of the forty days.
