Merernous, Secretary. see a NEW YORK ARCHITECTURE, AN IMPROVED TASTE AS EXEMPLIFIED IN PUB- LIC AND’ PRIVATE STRUCTURES—THE CKARAC- TER OF BUILDING HERETOFORE PREVALENT— WHAT IS NEEDED IN THE WAY OF REFORM, To rue Eprror ov tie HeraLp;— Despite the past year’s dulness in real estate deal- ings, and the comparatively small number of new awellings erected, the city has seen the completion of some buildings of a public character that will un+ doubtedly have a marked influence on city architecture in the future, In the first place, we have the new Post Office, and whatever may have been the mistakes ot the late Supervising Architect of the Treasury in the way of contracte, &c., it cannot be dented that we owe to him in the design of this importantstructure a great deal that is admirable and worthy of imitation. This design serves to show our people the value of two tm- portant elements in large buildings of that nature— viz, simplicity and solidity. It marks, also, the fact that we have passed the days of makeshift and tem- porary building for public uses, and build now not for ® yencration, but for ail time, This appearance of solidity is ina great measure duc to the material employed and the well known unfitness of granite for any building that is not the opposite of flimsy or unsubstantial ; but there is idea of THE RECEDING FRONTS, one riting behind the other like Pelion piled upon Ossa. To one standing under the portico of the Heratp Building and looking toward the north the effect is massive and grand beyond anything of the kind wo have yet had. Then the simplicity is admirable, be- cause appropriate. There is a certain fitness end dignity im the severity of the design that is eminently suited to the ownership, origin and purposes of the structure, Thus what twenty-five or thirty years ago would have been a semi-Greco-Roman temple, dark, gloomy and ill ventilated, is now bright and airy, with lofty ceilings and every modern appliance for comfort and conven- fence. Another example of improved taste is THE NEW CHICKERING HALL. Our people are here shown what we are just begin- ning to recogpize—viz., the advantage of color in archi- tectara, What American of the crowds that yearly flock to Paris does not yield genuine admiration to the charms of that superb building, the new Opera? And yet how mueh of the charin 18 due to the judicious use | of color! How the many colored polished columns, | the bronze capitals and the gilded statuary relieve the soberness of the delicately tinted stone of which it is built! Many years will yet elapse before we have in this country sculptors and artisans of the requisite ability and in sufficient numbers to decorate oar bul ings, either public or private, with that wealth and richness of carving sculpture that is found abroad; but meanwhile there 18 a Vast field for the display of judicious combinations of color. One thing is certain. there ts no lack of material. No other country offers such inexhaustible and varied SUPPLIES UF STONE AND METAL. The building reterred to affords another proof that the solid and substantial is taking the place of the | flimey and the temporary, but in this case there is no attempt at simplicity ot effect. Here, again, is an ex- ample of that fitness and propriety so mach to be de- sired, The granite panelling let into the brickwork, the polished granite pillars of the Fifth avenue facade with their marble capitals; the variegated tiling, the colored glass of the large windows, all set off by the rich, warm olor of the general brickwork, combine harmoniously together and produce an admirable effect, All these are innovations here, but they are steps in the right direction. New Yorkers have fol- Jowed too much in each other’s footsteps in matters of architecture, Independence of ideas on this point, if properly directed, is wnat we need. How successfully the Nova Scotia stone, now so much used, can be com- bined with brick is well shown in the large building on the corner of Bond street and Broadway. Unfor- tunately, buildings like that are few on the great thor- oughtara The intense desire to give (opal of light 1m many large shops and stores seem: e one Bole ob. ject of their designera. In fact, there are many build- ings in that street that present to the inquiring observer merely immense fronts of plate glass, interrupted oc- casionally in each story by a row of meagre iron columns, In these buildings the architect is | ‘tne builder and the iron founder alone rece’ ea hosrrrEs that ean be found jn any city. Its general style of architecture it would be hard to define. In fact, it has nogeneral style, With a few noteworthy exceptions, our principal street ia made up of buildings forming a contused succession of Doric, lonic and tian co! umns, Gothic windows, Moorish arches and Rena’ sance ornamentation, finished off with bulging cornices or Mansard roofs tipped with iron railings, urps, spikes and points innumerable, It is true, we cannot have, nor should we ever need to have, a Baron Haussmann to enforce with iron hand @ neat, un- swerving uniformity of style; and yet we can ‘and doubtless one day will produce along our avenues effects of architecture equally as pleasing and effective as in the newest Parisian boulevards, It may be sad that every New Yorker is free to put ap whatsoever he chooses, Perfectly true; but, we ask, is it necessary because one man has erected a facade of white marbie that his next door neighbor, purely and solely to show hie independence, must decorate his shop wit! on statues in inp: ible and agonizing positions utterly meaningless, huge iron festoons of fruit and flowers ui- terly inappropriate, the whole adorned by balf the colors of the rainbow, with the addition of gilding ad luritum and ad nauseum? Itis evident that it is not Decause we cannot build well, but because will not, Often it is the owner's eagerness to advertise his bu ness that gives birth to these deformities. Then architecture degraded and the eye sickened by the Papasan tiny Bh a ees led easily abtained in VIFTH AVENUE presents numerous el: t and lordly mansions, but | eve here can be lound room for improvement Ub- serve here weg there the peace Apt hag oeny ration—¢.

The newest buildings have many claims to admiravion, An example is the dwelling Anished during the year just he corner of Fifty-seventh street.

LAW SCHOOLS. PROFESSOR THEODORE W. DWIGHT ON THEIR MISSION AND THR RESULTS THEY HAVE with students, past graduates and members of the pro- fossion generally, brought thither by the anBounce- ment that Professor Theodore W. Dwight would deliver | lecture, in which he would institute a comparison, between the educations to be obtained in offices and a law schools, The Professor's reputation for graceful style and easy information (delightful characteristics in any teacher and indispensable to & lecturer on law) brought to the lecture room a motley crowd of whilom, students who are now laboring in legal harness. ‘ In introducing the subject the Professor spoke 0! the remarks that have recently been made in pabi prints and in private circles regarding’ the value of law schools and their relation to the legal profession, ‘and said it was his proposition to consider the matter, and he did so as a duty (oan institution having @ pub- lie privilege. He proposed to vindicate the claims of the institution to the privilege and give solid reasons for its bestowment. He spoke at some length of the difference between an attorney and a counsellor. Briefly sketched, the difference is that the attorney is occupied with matters of form, the counsellor with the law itself or legal principles, **The counsellor evidently: Ids the superior function’? said the Professor. Me ‘ould me that he should stuuy the law as a science as well as. practise it as an art He should become familiar with the wide domain of jurisprudence, be versed in genet val principlen Ee ex- pert in legal definitions, and poss mind trained to draw nice legal distinctions He should also have fa broad general culture, be acquainted with the philosophy of general jurisprude be familiar with the outlines of political science and moral hilosophy, and with topics closely affiliated to fis own, such as medical jurisprudence. Were he to pass all his Ife as an attorney, 80 wido a culture, though desirable, would not be essential, since a large portion of an attorney’s duties beco 2 time quite mechanical, But it is impossible for a law- er of any activity of mind and strength of mtellect to be contented for any length of time with the drudgery of an inferior class of work. He is continually striving to emancipate himself from this narrow position and to rige to the grade of counsellor. The true style of edu- cation would thus seem to be that which enables him to follow both branches ie a paleen tant with honor to himself and usefulness ote is just atthis point that the law schools assert their right to exist and claim full and ample recogni- tion. Since the time when the law permitted a person by o single examination to become both an mey and counsellor the courts have established no means whatever whereby he could obtain an education ad counsellor. They simply appointed a committee to examine any male person of the ago of twenty.on® years who might present himself to have his qualifica-~- tions tested. In 1871 the Court of Appeals by rule Ee vided an imperfect method of securing some aptitude, for the duties of an attorney by requiring an attendance’ in a law office, but it has established no requirements which have any tendency to make an applicant for legal honors a counsellor, The student can have little if apy personal attention from the lawyer in whose office: he may be, and where clerks are numerous scarcely enjoys his onal acquaintance, Matters in the offices being tn th school is an indispensable requisite to a complete training forthe functions of lawyer, The advantages of law schools may be summed up as follows :-— “They give the student a general and systematic out- line of legu! principles. They remove out of the way difficulties inherent in the subject from its vast ex- tent and its technical and scientific phraseol ‘AS a consequence, they tend to produce clearness o! conception on the student's part, to lead him to care- fulness and precisiop in expression, They furnish for bm i his professional career a supply. of legal rules, which are so fixed 1p his memory t! they can be continuously and confidently referred to for illus- tration and as a basis for deductions, thus making it unpecessary to burden the memory with specific cases. They inspire hope, courage and enthu- siasm in the student’s pr © acquaintance with a vast science. They make the student acquainted with reports of law cases, ancient as well as modern, and their comparative value. They inspire a desire for communication and discassion with one’s fellows. They tend to prevent students from becoming mero technical lawyers—sticklers for form and critics of sy!lables— and to inspire them with # love for broad principles, and a corresponding averson to all mode, however cur- rent, of spending ume and talents in begetting and: abetting knavery. “When this education has been obtained it is unnec- essary to insist on a special education as attorneys, for’ enough of that kind of training is sure to be gathered: from experience im litigation and actual business. Principles before practice 18 the true watchword. This fact is fully recognized in every other department of jucation but law, But when we come to the greatest science known among men, vast in its compre- hensiveness, bewildering in its details, as com~- plex and mouitiform io all its relations as are theaffairs of buman life, we are told that we mustaban- don system, go back to chaos, struggle blindly with details before we know anything’ of principles, absorb knowledge through the ends of the fingers by diligent quilldriving, and uitimately through all weari- someness and disgust engendered by a false system of education struggle forward to a dim coneeption of the order and beauty of a system of knowledge. With all due respect, the Supreme Court, in its exaltation of office study, would invert trae Easttions, put back the dial of progress, and would follow an old and exploded! plan of education, rejected on the Continent of Europe and upbeld in England by # purbitnd conservatism, though even there tottering to its fall.’ “ABELARD AND HELOISE.” Dr. John Lord delivered yesterday morning toa very crowded audience at Association Hall the lecture, uni- versally conceded to be his best, entitled ‘‘Abelard and Heloise,” which, in elegance of style and diction, is probably unsurpassed by any modern writer. The lec- turer began:—I aim in this lecture to the very djf- cult labor of describing in the history of Heloise that. great sentiment without which few men or women can be happy. It is not vices I paint, but virtues; not weakness, but strength; mot the mortal, but the im- mortal. In an age of degrading superstition, in 1101, Heloise was born. No one knew who was her father, but she was supposed to have belonged to the tamily of Montmorencis. She was brought up in the family of an uncle, a canon. She was a great beauty, but the qualities of a great soul were pre-eminent over both beauty and intellect. She was educated in a convent and at the age of eighteen re- turned to her uncle. Her uncle’s house was visited by the intellectual ranytntabr of the city, but in the midst of socioty she pined for sympathy and affection and lived within herself, isolated by her superiority. Among these distinguished visitors was aman thirty- eight years of age, of noble birth and by profession an ecclesiastie and by name Peter Abelard. le was poe theologian, philosopher and lecturer. He underrate: his teachers, and by his ee, he charmed the young and disgusted the old, The number of his pupils ‘was over 5,000, coming ‘rom varions countries to hear him lecture, What a success! Whata position! Such was the haughty, brilliant, flippant man who, at the age of thirty-eight, met the most beautiful and dent woman of the age, eighteen years old. And need I mention the result? They became passionately enamored of each other; but to hearer is designs more easily he obtained residence in tl mily of her uncle, te superintend her education, (Laughter. eo blind old fool was delighted to have #o noble an in- ‘actor, What young woman of such an age could re- t such a man? I need not repeat the history of their mad passion. GOVERNOR HOFFMAN'S LECTURE. Ex-Governor Joha T.
