JaDorwo from the expression of opinion in the press and elsewhere, we are constrained to believe that the Legislature will refuse to pass the bill incorporating the railroad to be known as the Schuylkill Hirer and Angora Ilailroad, and thus defeat a bold project to traverse the publio domain lately acquired for the specific- purpose of a park. On Satur day we asserted, as we now reassert, that the plea of necessity for running the aforesaid railroad through the Tark, or indeed in any direotion similar to that pro posed, is absurd on its face, in view of the fact that the initial and terminal points of the .' road are already connected by a railroad along the banks of the Schuylkill. We are rejoiced to think that the Tark, whioh has already cont three and a half millions of dollars, and which offers in its site, famed for the quiet beauty of its scenery, advantages that should event ually make it the first in the world, will escape this ruthless invasion of its precincts. This subject may be considered disposed of, but it suggests to us some remarks in the interest of art as affecting the whole people of our country. The poet truly intimates that by the eyes of others we obtain of ourselves a more just esti mate than our own. I jet us, then, to see our selves correctly in matters of art, refer to the view taken of us by a great critic in it, Husk in, who, despite his vagaries, has done much for the world of art. Writing of this country, some years ago, he said: "Are you aware thut there is another form of nostalgia which afflicts only Europeans, and, so for as I know, is felt only in one part of the world? Its Bymptonis have not hitherto been described, and I may christen it Form-sickness. This Form-sickness begins to attack you after you have re sided some time, say a couple of months, in the United States of America. But it is when you come to dwell in towns that Form-sick-' ness gets its firmest grip of yon. In a city of three or feur hundred thousand inhabitants, you see nothing but mere flat surfaces, straight lines, right angles, parallel rows of t oar da, and perpendicular palings. It is suffi cient to note the fact that Europeans, the least prejudiced and the most ardent admirers of the political institutions of the United States, very soon grow fretful and uneasy there, and are unable to deny, when they come back, that the country is not an elegant or a comfortable one to look upon. I attribute this solely to wsthetio causes. It is in the eye that the mischief lies. It is the bran-new mathemati cal outline of Columbia that drives the Eng glishman into Form-sickness, and ultimately to the disparagement and misrepresentation of a very noble country. If they would only round off their corners a little.' If they would only give us a few crescents and ovuls in lieu of 'blocks ! ' If they would only re member that the circle as well as the rectan gle is a figure in mathematics, and that the curvilinear is, after all, the line of beauty !" It is the scorn and the protest of an enthu siast in art, levelled against the sometimes ignorance, sometimes neglect, of all that con tributes to charm the sense which, according to Dr. Johnson, and by oommon experience and consent, regards its objects longest with out satiety. It is a striking portraiture of the result of that purblindness which has at lust begun to perceive a glimmering of the truth, and allowed us to set about remedying the eviL It is less true than when it was written, and is daily becoming less and less; but us a generalization it is still near enough to the truth to enlist our serious attention, ltecontly, the same author, frenzied by the tendency of the age, lost his calm judgment, when he pried from his old Alpine haunts: "I have seen strange evil brought upon every scene that I best loved, or tried to make beloved by others. The light which once flushed those pale sum mits with its rose at dawn, and purple at sun set, is now umbered and faint; the air which once inlaid the clefts of all their golden crags wjth azure, is now defiled with languid ooils of smoke, belohed from worse than volcanic fires; their very glacier waves are ebbing, and their snows fading, as if hell had breathed on them; the waters that once Bank at their fee into crystalline rest, are now dimmed and foul, from deep to deep and shore to shore." Thig is very midsummer madness: the happy mean is where Buskin earlier pinned his faith. The earth is man's for his physical as well as his moral welfare; but Ruskin'a love of the beautiful would let him starve. We, on the other hand, with our former indiffer noe to all but material existence, would dwarf the moral stature. The increase within few years in esthetic knowledge is mar vellous. We have produced in literature, in sculpture, in landscape painting, in music, and in the drama, artists of the first order, Thousands from our shores yearly visit in Europe the art treasures of centuries, bring ing back with them the impress of the study, whioh is more and more visible in the percep tion and realization of the beautiful. All that remains is that the knowledge and the love of art shall pervade the people. The time surely is not remote, not more than fifty years, when anpther Buskin, looking around upon our land and upon the art glories of our cities, will have to tell a very different story from his predecessor. .very impulse, how ever slight, that may contribute to this con summation is of value at this turning-point of onr career, and therefore we hare joyfully I soiled the opportunity of onr themo to make I a diAconrs of far wider application. s j THE PAY MIC NT OF PENSIONS. Tnr. relations of pensioners towards the Gov ernment are very different from those of any other class of creditors, and they are entitlod to special consideration at the hands of those who are charged with the administration of the affairs of the nation. The majority of pensioners are old, eiok, or wounded mon who receive a mere pittance as a recognition of their sacrifices in behalf of the country, or their female representatives, who are often even less competent than the men to under stand the intricacies of the Tension Buroau's system of management. The Government owes it to these people that the money it engages to give them shall be paid promptly at such times as will most conduce to the interests of the pensioners and with as little trouble to themselves as possible. The Government, of course, has to protoct itself from fraud, but the safeguards that it finds necessary to adopt ought not to be chargea ble in the slightest degree to the pensioners,, who are entitled to all that the law allows them to the last penny. It is notorious that under the present system of paying pensions many grievous wrongs are perpetrated, and that in very many cases the amounts actually received by the pensioners scarcely represent more than half what they are entitled to. One reason for this is the practice of paying the pensions semi-annually, and another is the payment of them through special pen sion agents, who are in addition to good salaries allowed their fees and perquisites, which come out of the pockets of the recipients of the Government bounty. The pensions whioh the Government under takes to pay are insignificant at the best, and are scarcely more than sufficient to just keep soul and body together; and when those who are entitled to them are obliged to sell their claims at heavy rates of discount, and to pay fees to agents before they can get their money, there is certainly something wrong, that ought to reoeive the attention of Congress. We are glad to notice, therefore, that on Friday last Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, introduced a bill in the National House of Bcpresentatives to remedy the evils of the existing system, and to provide a better method of paying pensions. This bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to select in every oounty in the United States either a national bank, a postmaster, an as sessor or collector of internal revenue, or other existing officer, to prepare all pension papers for the payment of pensions free of cost to pensioners. . The Commissioner of Pensions is to certify to each officer a list ;of the pensioners in his county, and transmit a check on the nearest Assistant Treasurer, payable to the order of each pensioner, to be delivered to the pensioners, who should thus be paid every three months instead of semi annually. The sum of $100,000 is to be paid annually to the officers for their services instead of the $250,000 paid now in commis sions. The general provisions of this bill are such as will secure tne desired retorms; but it would be much better if the pensions were made payable monthly. The convenience of the pensioners certainly ought to be oonsulted in a matt3r of this kind before that of the Government officers. It would not be amiss also to make it a punishable offense for any of the agents of the Pension Bureau to take a fee of any description from pensioners for the performance of the duties of their office. We sincerely hope that the bill of Mr. Law rence will receive the favorable consideration of Congress, and that some prompt action will be taken to secure either its adoption or some law of a similar character. The pen sioners of the Government are without ' po litical influence, and because they are depen dent on the generosity and good-will of mem bers of Congress for justice in this matter, ttey should receive a cordial recognition of their claims. ' j LUGIEN ANATOLE rREVOST PA. RADOL. j A carle despatch of Saturday gives a report that M. Lucien Anatole Prevost Paradol, the celebrated author, has been appointed by the French Government to represent it at Wash ington. This gentleman was born at Paris on the 8th of August, 1821). He commenced his education at the College Bourbon, where at an early age he displayed distinguished abilities and succeeded in gaining a number of the highest prizes. Afterwards he entered the Ecole Normale, from which he graduated in 1851, securing the prize for eloquence awarded by the Academie Francaise for his "Eloge de Bernardin Saint-Pierre." j The degree of Doctor in Letters was oonferred upon him in 1855, and he was appointed to the choir of French Literature by the faculty of Aix, In 1856 he became one of the editors of the Journal dee Debat. which sheet he retired from for a few months in 18G0 to take an edi tonal position on the Pree. He was also a frequent contributor to other journals, and he became especially famous for his mime rous sarcastic- and violent articles in the Covrrier du IHmanche, - many of - which brought the publication under the displeasure of tne uovernment. in 1803 M. Paradol was a candidate for the Corps Legislatif for the Sixth Circumscription of Taris, but was de feated. . He' was elected a member of the French Academy in place of M. Ampere on April 7, 1865. Besides his contributions to the newspapers and magazines, 11. Paradol is a prolific author, and he has published a number of works, among which the following are the most pro minent: "Bevue de l'Histoire Universelle, published in 1854; "Du Bole de la Famille dans rEduoation," which was "crowned" by the French Academy in 1857; "De la Liberie des Cultes en France," in 1858; "Essais de Politique et de Litterature," in 1859; "Les Anciens Paradis, a politioal treatise for which the author was imprisoned for a month and fined 1000 francs: "Du .Gouvornement rarlemenUire, In 1800; "Den: ie Decret du 24 Novembre," Deux Leltrns sur la Roforme da Code renal;" "Elizabeth et Henri IV;" "Nou veaux Essais de Tolitiquo et de Litterature," and "Quelqnes Pages d'Histoire Oontem poraine," in 18C2; "Essais de Folitiqne et de Litterature" (fld series), in lftfiH; and "Etudes sur les Moralistos Francais," in 180t. In May, 18G7, he was appointed one of the com mittee of five members of the French Academy to superintend a new edition of the "His torical Dictionary of the Frenoh Language." Drakk is now a candidate for the seat on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States made vacant by the death of Associate Justice Wayne, of Georgia. The circuit to which the new justice will have to be allotted comprises the States of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Missouri, whence Drake hails, and which he now represents in the Senate, is comprised fh another circuit, and the objection whioh was partially responsible for the rejeotion of Attorney-General Hoar's nomination to the same position applies with equal weight to the case of Drake. But there Is a still more potent objection than that of mere locality. Drake has shown himself to be in favor of practically abolishing the highest judicial tri bunal of the country, and for this reason, if for no other, his name should not be seriously mentioned in connection with a membership of it. ne is a radical Bepublioan in politios, which is all very well as far as reconstruction and a few other matters are concerned; but, like a good many radical Republicans who are very great as mere politicians, but quite insignificant as statesmen, he does not appear to be aware that radicalism has any limits whatever. The last man in the nation to be placed on the bench of the Supreme Court is the great Missouri Drake. If the Fifth Cir cuit is so meagrely supplied with loyal men of commanding legal talent and acquirements that it is necessary to go outside of it in filling the vacancy, the Senate had better reconsider its adverse action on the nomination of Attorney-General Hoar. The latter may be worse than an indefinite vacancy, but he would assuredly be better than Drake. i The Ptjblig FunrriMO Swikdlk. One of the strongest arguments in favor of the abo lition of the franking privilege is the im mense saving to the people which will result in the matter of publio printing. When members can no longer scatter tons of publio documents through the moils without expense to themselves or the unfortunate persons to whom they are directed, they will not be as enthusiastic as they now are in ordering them to be printed at the expense of the people, especially aa the Government has its own printing office, and no favored contractor is to be benefited by the reckless destruction of good white paper. ' Heretofore the Govern ment printing office, with all its enormous facilities, has been so overcrowded with work that no document has been ready for distri bution until after the lapse of so many months that what little value it would have possessed if given to the public at an early day Los been destroyed by the delay. This is another and powerful argument in favor of .a reform in the matter ' of the publio printing. But the recent action of the Senate on the bill abolishing the franking privilege which passed the House is interpreted by the friends of the measure as diminishing its chances of becoming a law, and it therefore becomes the duty of such members of both houses of Con gress as are in favor of retrenchment in the printing item to urge the speedy passage of a bill with that specifio object. Such a bill has been presented by Mr. Anthony in the Senate, and he should without unnecessary delay fulfil his pledge to call it up and urge its enactment at an early day. . Vox Poptjli. M. Ollivier, in the debate in the French Legislative Chamber on the, ar roignment of Bochef ort, fell back on the people for support. He declared that the Imperial Government did not dread revolu tion, and that it had other cause for its sense of security than was afforded by the posses sion of a loyal, faithful and courageous army the "irresistible moral strength which is imparted by the assent of the nation."' This Bounds remarkably well, or rather would so sound, if France had heard these words for the first time on this occasion. But it be comes a very interesting question as to whether the loyalty, faith and courage of the hundred thousand armed men who were held in readiness to pounce upon Paris on the day of Victor Noir's funeral were inspired by the moderation of the masses, or whether the moderation of the masses was not inspired by the loyalty, faith and courage of the hun died thousand armed men. "The assent of the nation" in the United States has one meaning, and in France it has another. Here the words will bear a literal interpretation, and no tyranny or iniquity is endured unless the people either prefer to endure it or are too apathetic to overturn it. But in France so many appliances in the shape of legions of loyal, faithful and courageous armed men are brought to bear upon the expression of the popular will, that a minister merely stul titles himself by rolling the words under his tongue. ' ' ' : Tbain has Bet up a startling tune on that golden harp wherewith he was recently pre sented at Buffalo by "twenty girls dressed in white, lie Has paid ine iuu goia rates on the following telegram by the Frenoh cable: To Victoria, tendon. Give me back my tramways, av ilAwn muiii vmir ruonarchv. Train." . Tbain. It would not be easy to depict the conster nation of the mother of Prince Arthur when this threatening missive was placed in ' her hand, and we shall not attempt it. But it is easy enough to see that Train is an idiot of the first water so much of one, in fact, that he is unable to perceive it himself, or to be' lieve it when told of it by another. If , Train had been struck by lightning during the recent "heated term," the readers of the I newspapers would have had pood causa for I rejoicing. He is getting to be like the mule which, according to the veracious Mark Twain, fell through the roof of Judge Olli ver's house a dozen timed or so slightly monotonous. Conobww is In full blast. Every one who glances over the daily report of the proceed ings is made painfully aware of that faot. There are now about eleven hundred bills on the calendar of the lower houie, and probably nearly as many on that of the Senate. This mass of embryo legislation is frightful to con template. The people have one consolation, however. The greater the number of bills presented, the less time has Congress to pass bills that are of no use at the - best, and for the most part unwise and mischievous. 8PEOIAU NOTIOE8. br odMHimat Spetial AoMeet n Me InMdt ftew. jgy- OUR READY-MADE CLOTtllNG IS AS rini& ao uitumAHi custom work. 9 a o ft J O Is S 3 a. a a.
