New York can not be called strictly orthodox. Free r thinking and loose scientific notions flour ish like a green bay tree, and if you hap. pen to mention anch a thing as a imiracle, these new fledged philosophers say with Spencer and Huxley, prove it. But as 1 remarked at the begninning New York is fortunate in lying so near to Brooklyn, and Brooklyn is fortunate in possessing two C such enterprising and energetic ministers as Justin D. Fulton and DeWitt Talmage, 1 If the Republicans had only followed Ful. ton's advice Blaine would have been Pros ident to-day, while Talmage knocked the underpinning from Darwin, Huxley, Her bert, Spencer and Tyndall, and proved sat isfactorily to himself that they were noth. ing but a set of presuming ignoramuses, Who were playing upon the credulity of a confiding world. It is lucky for Darwin that he died before he was so completely t squelched by Talmage. You will see at a glance the superiority of falmage. Dar- t win was only a theorist, a dreamer who drew his conclusions from a lot of ab struse and disconnected facts, but Tal mage knows exactly how the thing was done and as a mutter of course, it is much more satisfactory to have" the evidence of a man that knows like Talmage than fel lows who only think they know, like Hux ley, Darwin, Spencer and Tyndall. The old Mosaic account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, is good enough for Talmage; he don't want to go back to the time when Adam's great, great, great, great grandfather sat up on the top of a seventy foot telegraph pole cracking co ;oanuts for his breakfast, or munching bananas or guavas for his supper; no ring-tailed monk ey for Talmage. It is much easier for Tal mage to believe that Eve wasmanufactured out of a rib, than that she was evoluted from aPollywog. At any !rate he settled Darwin's hash, and you need not expect to hear of him again. Great man, great man, Talmage. Fulton holds out at the Tabernacle, otherwise known among the profane as the Rink. It is one of the larg est buildings in Brooklyn. It was here the Evangelists Moody and Sankey sowed their gospel seed about ten years ago; seed, which I regret to say, was not sown on fal low ground, but which fell among the rocks and was devoured by the fowls of the air, for scarcely a sickly shoot remains to mark the passage of the Evangelists. Af ter that the Rink served the unrighteous for walking matches and boxing matches, profane dances and other wicked doings. At last it was rescued from the clutches of Satan by Brother Fulton, and for the last four years he has been having a hand to hand fight with the world, the flesh and the d-l. Brother Fulton believes with the Rev. Dr. Burchard that the Democrat ic party is the party of Rum, Romanism and Rebellion, and he feels assured that if Brother Blaine had only nailed Dr. Bur chard's flag to his masthead, he wpuld have left Grover Cleveland to the quiet seclusion of oiur, apital at Albany and James G. Blaine would have made a triumphant marciFon the White House in the City of Washington. When will our so-called statesmen learn wisdom? Here was Blaine in Brooklyn; he might just as well have called on Fulton as not, and Fulton couid have told him just how to win, but with unnbakiotable stupidity he did not call on Fulton, and behold the result: he got left. Served- hm~ right. It will be a warning to thenext-1residential candidate. " vngi.geek. The stores are ~l i~e2hit w fline god and from now till New Years we may look for a gland holiday time. Taking up the papers You hear theni ay of hard-times. It isadifficult thing to - alize iI: yoa: walk through the grea tVhor oughhl es. .o'- Iebw York and Br.ooklyn. Hardig.inh..mqmory of living men has there been saih' eostly extravagances in dress. The wives of mechanics and trades-' men dress better to-day than a fine lady could dress firtyyears ago. - Walk=Png the west side of Brpadway or through Four teenth or Twenty:thitd streets on any pleasant afternoon, and among the thou sounds you -pass, representing every grade of society, it is rare to meat a poorly dressed woman. This is more particu larly noticeable at 4 o'clock in the after noon when the down town 'factories are turning outt their shUb as ftonathedense hives in the lower part of the city. -Among them all it is rare to see a poorly dressed woman. Of course there are some ex traordinarylpersons who especially desire to make themselves conspictuous, but this is like any other disease and has to be borne with equanimity. The prevailing styles of goods are mar vels of beauty, and in the general make-up of them there is a most exquisite taste worthy of all commendation. When we remember -the flaunting abominations of four or five years ago we feel that we have reason to thank Providence to have reached our present vantage ground. Taste has vastly improved; the dresses that cost some four or five dollars a yard no longer do the work appointed for the city scavengers. The craze for blonde heads has gone out of fashion and our angels are coming back to their natural colors, though I confess it looks odd to see one-half of a woman's hair a bright golden yellow and the portion next her head of a very respectable chest nut, but as it tells of returning common sense we feeel like forgiving one of the most unpardonable follies of- which our sisters have been guilty-since Eve went apple hunting. I was talking with a gentleman largely engaged in business-a man who .had traveled extensively and knew the world, and he remarked, ifa man wants anything that is to be found on the face of the earth he can gettit in this city. This may seem a bold assertion, bW we have grown won derfully. As you pu; along the 'treets in the stores you see the richest of oriental hangings, tapestries, laces and all sorts of beautiful and costly goods, bronzes, ele gant ale-naes, articles of vertu and orna mont, such as a few years ago could only be found in Pnris, London, or Vienna. It was a rare thing for a foreign artist of repotation to send a picture across the water, and now they come by thousands, many indlfferent canvisses cfndlg ready purchasers among the over credulous Yan kees. A number of colossal fortunes have been piled up among as within the past twenty years. It goes for saying that not a sing!e one of our newly fledged millionaires knew the difference between a Raphael or a Rtnbens, or a John Smith, or a Tom Brown. The late Mr. Stewart gave $50,00P for Rosa Bonheur's lHorse Fair, and he knew as much about its artistio merits as one of the horses in the picture. A capital judge of linens and calicoes, well versed in silks and cloths, besides being something of a classi cal scholar, he knew no more about pictures than a hod carrier. Yet he built a fine gallery, which nobody is allowed to enter, and he imprisoned within its brick walls three hundred thousand dollars' worth of fine pictures which might just as well be in the catacombs of Egypt as in his white marble palace on the Fifth Avenue. A very different man was Marshall A. Roberts. He was a very rich man and one who knew the value of a dollar as well as any man in the city, but :he was a broad gauge man of liberal principles and.exquis ite, taste and he was blessed with a wife just as good as himself, and he was willing that the millions of the poor should share the blessings of his abundance. First he threw his magnificent picture gallery open to aid some charitable institution, and fi nally he admitted the public on stated days, and this was kept up almost to the day of his death. It was an inestimable boon to the lovers of art and one that will not soon be forgotten. Mr. Vanderbilt did some thing of the kind last winter, and the pub lic are in hopes that he will not be weary of well-doing, but with the return of frost will give them another peep at those fa mous pictures which only a millionaire like himself could ever have brought to this side of the Atlantic. Jay Gould has some pictures, but no one ever sees them. What a year this has been for jiltings. I have before me a list of twenty brides and grooms who were deserted in the last year at the altar's foot. Four faithless brides and sixteen recreant grooms. Only the other night our fashionable colored society was moved to its innermost depths by the desertion of one of the most enchanting sable belles in the city. Like many other romantic young maidens she had fixed her affections on a coachman. (What in Jeru salem is there about these coachmen?) Well this particular Jehu walked off with this young lady's affections as if he had been driving his own horses. The wedding day was fixed, the friends were invited, the feast was. prepared, the minister was on hand, the bride stood decked in orange blossoms, but the groom came not. When he should have been promising to love, honor and cherish, this faithless groom was grooming his horses at a stable on Clinton Avenue. After waiting a long time the bride went off into hysterics, the minister went without his fee, the bridal party went without their supper, and the doughnuts, wedding cake and charlotte russe remain unconsumed to this day. This coachman business ought to be played out, though from present appearances Mrs. Huiskamp Morrisini may turn her escapade with her coachman into golden ducats; It is not near so romantic to say that she is married to a ticket taker as a coachman, but before she finishes her concert tour she will find that the fellow who looks out for. the ticket box is a much more important person than the fellow who sits on the coach box. - I have often remarked that whenever I want a point I have to go to Brooklyn for it. The latest is the robbery of the Kings County penitentiary. Some thieves broke in and carried off the cash. f you have any prisons out your way keep an eye on them or some daring burglar may run away with the cells and the keepers. The success of the new operatic star, -Miss Emma Nevada, was so pronounced that-we shall have no further occasion to import; foreign singers. Each appearance has" been a triumph never before accorded to an American singer. She is as good as she is talented, and America mlay well be proud of her newstar. gours truly, BROARDBRIM.

Seaators1ip tion of the' Wesbingtim Monument, etc. Wexigorox, D. C.,)December 8,1884. The first week of the possible thirteen of the Congressional session has passed anddt' is difficult 'to ind enough proceedings to base an obituary on. An immensenumber of bills have been introduced and a bound less lot of talk indulged in, but when that is said, there is not emuch to tell. The con mittees, however, are hard at work, and some of them promise to submit bills be fore the holidays. The House committee on post-oces .and post roads have a number of impbotant bills on their 11*t to which they intend to ask the early atteptoun of Congress. Inclu ded among tbhse are the postal telegraph bill, another whiho regulates the mail ,oon tract system more carefully, a third whlah changes the basis of componsation to rail roads for carrying the mails, na fourth which deals with the letter rate of poptage. All these are matters of importance and should get a hearing. It is to be doubted, however, if the committee iswise in putting the postal telegraph bill at the head of their list, as this subject is on of great diffieulty and sure to exite a protrted debate, They would do better to follow the example of the shipping and public landso ommittee and present rstto the Houe H those meas ures on whlch there will be little or no con troversy. The contest over the New York Senator ship excites much interest here, and the progress of the fight is eagerly watahed. Hon. Frank Hiscock has left his place in the House and gone to New York to put himself in good position for the Senatorial lightning to strike him. I saw Hon. Ste phen French of the Empire State a few days ago when he was in Washington with a committee of Republicans to confer with President Arthur in regard to this contest. At first he refused to be interviewed, but after a moment hq reconsidered and said, "I don't mind saying that the President is willing to accept the Senatorship if it shall come to him in the right way-as the prac tically unanimous offer of the Republicans. But he will not enter into any scramble, and so far as any of his friends steering him m the race or making a contest, he will not permit anything of that kind. I will further say that I believe when the Re publicans-the members of theLegislature, I mean--come to consider the matter, they will see that the right and proper thing to do is to elect President Arthur. I think that any man who studies the politics of New York at present can see that. In my opinion, it will become so apparent in the interest of the Republican party that the President is the man for the place, that his election will be practically unanimous. In that case he will accept. You can say that much." Leaving Mr. Arthur's personality out of the question, there are many considerations of a public character that make the election to the Senate of a man who has served in presidential office desirable. No man ac quires so extensive and thorough a knowl edge of public affairs as the President. He is brought in contact with representative men from every part of the country, and is made to understand the merits of every matter of public concern. Through his Cabinet he acquaints himself witlPthe es sential principles and incidents of our for eign and domestic policy, and by personal and confidential intercourse with diploma tists, politicians and business men of every type he acquires a fund of information and a familiarity with the detail of government which preeminently qualify him for legisla tive functions. It has been proposed, on this account, to admit our ex-Presidents to a seat in Congress. Such a step might, perhaps, be a too yadical departure from the principles of the government, but it is a pity to lose the services of men so pecu liarly fitted for participation in the coun cils of the Nation, and for this reason it is a matter for congratulation when circum stances permit their retention in public life. The capstone of the Washington monu ment was set on Saturday at 2 o'clock in the presence of a small party of invited guests. Although the obelisk is now com pleted, there is much work still to be done. Probably the most important matter re maining is the design for the base of-the monument, which has n6t been selected yet. Much finishing work on the interior is to be done. The memorial stones are being placed in the interior wail, and those in charge are exercisinga flie taste in draw ing the line between stones to, be excluded on aceount of serving as advertisements of the donors, and those which can properly be used. The American flag now "oats from the fagsaff at the apex of the monu ment, 600 feet above the ground. I hear that a number of Naval officers are likely to be dispatched to Nicaragua at an early day to look over the canalroute again. Yours truly; " A ERT.

Marphy declared he would prove all he charged, employed able lawyers and his a, host ofwlt, essesi. The assassination of Murphy took place in broad daylight, in the presence of 'er haps thirty witnesses, yet up to this-writing because of fear, complicity, or a desire to avoid annoyance, not a single oneii of the assailants has been identified. Washing- j ton Fire Co. No. 20, employed ex.Judge Whitaker to assist District Attorney Adams, and Jefferson Steam Fire Co. No. 22. ap propriates $50 for prosecution. Gov. Mo Enery offers $1000 reward, and the Mayor, Chief of Police, and court oficers are busy with the case. The fact that witnesses are unobtainable, together wit i the conned tion of the alleged murderers to the city government is exasperating Membersa of the Produce Exchange signed a call for a mass-meeting, but cooler heads, doubtless remembering the results of a similarmove ment recently in the city of Cincinnati, caused it to be suppressed. There is some talk of organizingsa law and order league, but as this is on the same line with the sup pressed call, itis not probable that it will lead to anything exitraordinary. The dis grace to the city is keenly fell, and the de mand that the murderers must be discov ered and punished is deep and intense. Major Burkeis a very basy man. Friends say the overwork is aging him fast, li hur rying forward theEipositis. Thdre is a daily arrival of exhibits, machinery s up, and commissioners from everywhere are coming in. There is an appreciable in crease of people on the streets, but our business men report no material advance in trade. There is some agitation among printers. The proprietors of several job offices have advertised for and are employing non union printers. The new daily Commnuer cial Bulletin is manned by non-union men, and it is expected that proprietors of the morning dailies will ask for a reduction in rates. This proposition will probably -be consented to, as the conditioms ofallclasses of business require a moderate and con ciliatory spirit on that line.; Yesterday afternoon Col. W. M.
