MUSICAL REVIEW. There is a temporary Juli for the present in music publishing, but the holidays will bring out many novelties. We are glad to see that the conservato- ties of music have exercised a beneficial influence on the character of the music published this season, ‘These institutions are largely patronized, and they utterly ignore everything in the way of trash in music. There is a greater demand for classical and operatic works, and the best exercises are eagerly sought alter, The indications now are that in a few years New York can favorably compare with any city tn Europe in musical taste, and nothing but genuine merit can obtain the endorse- ment of the public, Itis to be hoped that tie pub- ishers will continue in the true path in which they have entered and never more be led away by min- strel and concert saloon songs to forget the duty they owe to art aud to their patrons. Ditson & Co. pubdtisn the following:— “Pranoforte Gems.” This is a very handsome volume of instrumental music comprising popular quadrilles, galops, polkas, walvzes, redowas, vari- ations, &c. Toe selections are all in. the popular vein and will be found very interesting. ‘The names of some of our best American composers are at- tached to the majority of the pieces. “Dance Music from Thomas’ Hamlet,” arranged by J. 8. Knight. ‘his celebrated opera abounds in ballet music, there being no lesa than forty pages of the same fn one of the acts. These four selections, waltz, galop, po!ka and march are good, but we can- not see any dilference between the arrangements and the score, Willian Hall & Son bre &@ late work by Cott- Schalk called “Morte.” Itis a lamentation full of ten- possessing much of the grace and derness and poeury which characterizes all Gottschalk’s works. Benjamin W, Hitchcock publishes twelve additional numbers of his inimitable Dime series and eleven of his Half Dime series. Among the former are some very interosting works. The “Malibran Polka” 1s one of Harry Sanderson's dasning pieces, Then there are the “Drum Quickstep,” four bands, ‘Corinne Waltz,” Barnekoy. jue Bell,’’? gong, J. G.

VOICE OF THE PEOPL?. Vagrant Pay to a Vagrant. In severely scathing terms writes a correspond- ent signing uimself ‘An Outcast in the Work House” of a very mean piece of swindling practised upon him by & member of the medical profession, He copied some lectures for this representative of the eaculapian art, occupying several wecks. The work was well and neatly and satisfactorily periormed, and he appliea for ns pay. ‘Tue sum of wo dollars and fifcy cents was paid him, He remonstrated at the pitiful recompense. “You are a miserable va- grant and ougu. to be satisfied to get anything,” was all the satisfaction he couid oviain, Servant Girls. Three pages of foolscap are devoted to this sub- ject. After reciting the annoyances to which our New York households are subjected at the bands of servant girls and going into an exhaustive disserta- lion gn the relations of employers and employed, the writer proposes remedy of the glaring evils growing out of these felations. ‘‘A free labor bureau Vo be establisued under the auspices of the Commis- siovers Of Pubuc Cuarities and Correction.” By taking hold of tue matter himself and fairly leaving leaving out red tape and have all contracts recorded, he promises that servant girls cau be made to be- come @ biessing instead of a curse, as it 1s alleged they are almost universally now. Our City Cars. After reviewing a recent magazine articie on tne subject of our city cars a correspondent suggests his way to reduce them to vehicles of comfort, and at the same time effect greater speed of transit, His plan is tu have the cars stop only at every fifth cross- ing. At each stopping place should be placed pair of broad flagstoues indicating stations, He would run down town at the crowded hours extra cars. Another feature, and entirely new, is having first and second class cars, the charge for rides on we former being greater than on the others, His Jast suggestion is lo have Yorkville aud Harlem cars ex- ! clusively ior those wishing to go to those localities, Improvements at Hempstead Plains. The popular voice can fine no language adequate to express its gratification at the improvements being made by Mr, A. T. Stewart at Hempstead Plains, A correspondent prophesies that acity will soon be bullt here or upon the reclaimed marshes near Liv- erpool; but with an entirely different class of people. die says this 1s to be the future Eden of our working population, and, in conclusion, adds:—“All honor to Mr. a. ‘I. Stewart, waose comprehensive mind can grasp and complete so great an undertaking.” President Grant and Emigration. One signing himself “An Emigrant Doctor” ex. presses hig gratitude at the thoughtfulness shown by President Grant for our emigrants, and especially their condition and treatment in transitu on poara ship. The doctor proceeds to portray the suffering, disease and death caused through exisung mis- management, and expresses the hope now that President Grant is turning bis attention to the sub- bondi the proper remedies will be speedily applied. Tho Hackensack Bridge Affair. A writer, who evidently loves mystery and signs himself “Mysterious,” goes into an elaborate review of the late Hackensack bridge outrage.
