Tie question as to where, next summer, we are to procure our lee, is odb of the most inter esting and eosrossinsr that can possibly occur to the inind of the modern housekeeper. It is a complicated question, too. and one which, like the origin of evil, it is impossible for some in tellccts to understand. till, none of us are so ftiipld as not to realize the plunific.inoe of the fact that an Ice Consumers' Company has been organized, and that the object of the company Is to furnish ice to every one at a reasonable rate. Since it took its rise in New York, it may fairly take rauk as a metropolitan "ism," and be entitled to notice here. In t lie early part of the preseut year Mr. French, of French's Hotel, was in the act of making arrangements with the Washington Ice Company, the objet ji which arrangements was to supply his hotel a mioderate price. The comrany's book-keeper a xrsd to supply the Ice up to the lt of .Tune for thiee dollars per ton, and from the 1st of June to the 1st of De cember lor three and a hall io lars. Soon after th's agreement was consumu ritA. the company raised its price to twenty dol..iS per ton. When reminded of the terms of their contract with Mr. French, the company declared that it had never authorized the action of its book-keeper, an lit nif'scuently discharged that gentleman Jor maintaining that, in making the agreement, he had acted strictly in accordance with Its instruction. Mr. French, on the other hand, refused to j ay the twenty dollars per ton, and attempted to get ice on better terms from other companies. The other companies, however, as though in league with the Washington Com pany, absolutely refused to be any more accom modating than it was. and ultimately Mr. French va3 compelled to pay the bills presented by the Washington Company. The last named association, however, far from tak ing any blame upon itself, asserts that the news papers are responsible for the whole business. It declares that if the press had "kept mum," and not been so officious in informing the ice lcalers iA Maine of the increased value of ice, those ice-dealers would not have become so ex orbitant, aud the company might have had bought ice from them at two dollars a ton and shipped it for one and a half. These excuses, however, were not persuasive enough to prevcut Mr. French from taking certain measures to protect himself from the rapacity of the ice companies. Of course he found plenty of fellow-sufferers to join him, and the result of the efforts of those gentlemen was the formation of the company which is now known as the Con sumers' Ice Company. Philadelphia ought to be interested, no less than New York ought to be, in knowing what this company has done, is doing, and intends to do, for Philadelphlans certainly t uttered enough last summer from the unexampled prices which were asked by ice-dealers. It has purchased land at a point on the Hudson opposite German town, a few miles above Citsklll, and has already spent on the blasting aloue more money than it paid for the ground. It is building an ice house two hundred feet by four hundred, and capable of holding sixty thousand tons of ice. The ice is to be shipped in barges by way of the Hudson, and so many hotel-keepers have interested themselves in the movement, that a great deal of patronage has been transferred to it from the Washington Company. At any rate the new company (the Consumers') is full' or ganized under the laws of the State, and its capital, to start with, consists of two hundred aud fiftv thousand dollars. The principal sup porters of the enterprise pledge their word that they are w illing to spend millious rather than that the enterprise shall lull through, and the old order ot extortion be continued. If these things are so. perhaps we may be justified In looking forward to next summer with some de gree of confidence. We have suffered so much from a sordid spMt In the old Ice companies, that we have one of the strongest motives to en courage the new. A Correction AaLed. Will you pennit me to make a brief statement in refutation of some remarks which I have observed in one or two of the Philadelphia newspapei?. aud which are in disparagement of theatrical criticism In New York In general ? Fortunately for the truth ot what I have to say, I am placed in such circumstances as qualify me to be something of a judge in that matter, and if my judgmeut proves worthless it is because of some fault or deficiency in myself, not be cause of those circumstances. Among the dramatic editors, then, connected with the New York press, you will find some of the best writers and some of the worst writers in the country. You. will find men who can write purer English than is written by the same class of men in London, and the expression of whose just judgments is guided by a refined instinct and a pure peetic taste. You will find miserable pretenders, the poverty of whose English, the shallowness of whose ideas, and the profuudity of whose ignorance niake them objects of pity. You will find venal hack writers who will habitually contradict them selves lor five dollars, and who vibrate between the two extremes of puffery and blackguardism. You will find men of original thought aud conscientious principle, and who, not withstanding the conscientious princi ple, are biased by unconscious preju dice and equally unconscious mean personal feeling: aud you will find men of generous senti ment whose culture does not by any means keep pace with their good luteutions. You will find very, very few who devote their lives to their profession and who make it their great .object to know what truth is, and then to tell it. Still, even these are to be found. But when the critic of one widely-circulated newspaper goes into ecstacics over Carlotta Paul's "mezzo soprano" oice, and the critic of another says of Fazio that it is a new dramatization from the French, or, when a third Influential journal pub lishes a six-column article about Nilsson, I grant it seems, for the moment, as if little that is com plimentary could with truth le said about the critical acumen and intelligence of the New York press. But against these instances I lmtrht array, by a careful gleaning among the laily, the weekly, and the Suuday New York tewf papers, a set of fair intelligences and ex cellent judgments, quite numerous enough to outbalance those instances of ignorance and venality that I have named. In a word, a per sonal experience of some years teaches me that In no other American city will you discover more Intelligence among dramatic critics than you will in New York and in no city will you dis cover lees.
