I don'tknow what may come after us or wh;at a revolution the uext twenty years may bring forth, but one thing is certain that the last twenty years have made a greater change in New York City than the preceding hundred. It is simply tiiat the city has enlarged, it is so completely changed in everything that a Rip Van Winkle who went to sleep twenty years ago waking up to-day would scarcely recognize the city in which he went to sleep. There are a few places which re main unchanged in the lower wards of the city, but in a few years even these will be swept away and not an ancient landmark will be left. The New Yorker who remembers the Battery of fifty years ago re member3 it as the great promenade Df the lovers of those days, and there were lovers then and plenty of them-not dudes who walked along the street sucking the end of an attenuated walking stick, but manly stalwart young fellows who ouid fight for their gir}s if occa aion required, and who when they rent to work in their stores and shops were not ashamed to put on i paper cap and an ipron and sweep off the sidewalk or do any )ther necessary duty. Work was 0: then con.sidered a disgrace and1 >oys were Lrought up to believe 1 hat the gods help those who help hemselves, and that a man's proud1 st boast should be that he was Lble to earn his own living. I re ret to say that this noble ambition I o appear independent, is dying out i .nd the highest aspiration of thet nodern New York dude is to have he world believe that somebody< Ise is making his living for him, t seems wonderful that any sane oung man in thi:s somewhat prac ical age of ours, should aspire to ut Dude all the Dudes of Dude- 1: om. Yet on Bro;adway any sunny t fternoon you can; see Barry WVall, ~ Lie acknowledged King of the c )udes. Don't figure to yourself a t ain, pale, consumptive individual t 2at a summer zephyr would leave I hopeless wreck; nothing could h e further from the truth. Barry t: Vall is like Fred Gebhardt, Mrs. ti aogtry's particular friend, a train- e i athelete who could put on the c loves with . Billy Edwards or li [itchell, and not get badly knock- A l out.o The young gentlemen in ie e: untry who start in for Dudes and h link that all that is necessary to e ake a first class article, is to have ri consumptive chest and a thin pair h Slegs, had better not come to New w ork. The New York Dude may o irt his hair in the middle and his oi mnts may fit him like an eelskin, 0: it he can walk his ten miles be- ai re breakfast, throw himself over di horizontal bar, arnd box with Sul- P ran acc6rding to the Marquis of i Llensberry rules, but he won't m ow any useful occupation if he of it, or if he does he won't uj can ,2 w it.

IIe can hold a big round glass in oic eye longer than any other fellow in New York, and to do that well with your mouth open on one side as if you Were having a tooth pulled is an accomplishment which is not to be sneezed at. It is a melancholy ex hibition in one sense for the man hood of the future, for a more use less set than the New York Dudes could scarcely be found un the face of the earth. They seem to have no aim in life but to get peo ple to gaze at them in stupid won der, at what the to)l killer was doing when such creatures were allowed to live. it is with pleasure that I an nounce that the season of excurs ions is drawing to a close. The strict administration of our Excise law on Sunday has a teridency to drive the dissipated and drinking. portion of New York and Brooklyn on the Lord's day. All sorts of excursions are improvised to the neighboring towns, which profit of com se by the hegira from the city. In fact, there are a great many places about New York which are { almost entirely supported by this Sunday trade Forty or fifty ex cursions leave here every Sunday. One advertises "The Wharf Rats| Coteria," another "The Jumpin' Plugs," another "The Saw Me Leg Off R:tngers," and from the titles you can. form a pretty good idea of the quality of the company. To see one of these excursion boats start you might imagine that some States Prison had suddenly emptied. Riot and drunkenness are their general characteristics ; fights are frequent and murder not' unusual. There are also muny res pectable people who go on these Sunday excursions, but as a gen eral thing they have cause to regret it. Of late the excursions have been worse than usual, on account of the inefficient police protection, and the almost positive immunity from punishment. Bands of or: ganized roughs have taken posses sion of the boats, maiming and wounding innocent people who op posed them. The shocking murder of an inoffensive German, a couple of weeks ago, on one of these excur sioas has thoroughly aroused the authorities, and we are in hopes that, at least, some of these mur lerous ruffians may be brought to ustice. These hands of Thugs generally nake their head quarters at some iquor store, and the chances are en to one that it either belongs to he Alderman of the Ward, or to ome intimate friend of his who onducts it in his interest. If one f the gang is arrested, the Alder nan is on hand to go his bail, and )y some hocus pocus the complaint s pigeon-holed, and that is the last hat is heard of it. One of the very worst of the ~ ~ang who participated in the mur t ier I spoke of was a young ruffian, rho aspired to be a tough ; that is C o say, one who has downed his ~ uan, or in other words, murdt r.d ~ tim. This particular youth was the C error of his desperate pals, and L et when indicated for his terrible, ffence, his mother testified witht ears in her eyes that he was one of C he gentlest, sweetest m-annered 0 oys that a loving mother ever ad. One of the participants in a de assassination was a villain by Y 1e name of Judge, who as he was scaping knocked down his female ~ ompanion, and almost stamped the a fe ont of her with his boot heels, Lnd yet, with the moral perversity ' I' womanhood;, which no fellow can rplain, the poor creature with her a ead bound up, and her face bruis- s i beyond recognition, was at the 0. iffian's prison door pleading for P~ is release. Explain the mystery ti ho can. It may not be desirable s practicable to close the doors of 01 ar city, and keep all the people in it 1 S3unday; but if these ercursio-is ti 'e permitted they must be con-a 2cted within the pale of the law. Ve olice protection must be afforded as em, and if necessary an example fr uist be made,of these lawless ri- Y rer, such as we have been called I1 >Onl to make on several occasions th hfore. A few dead "Short Boys" or Pe lead Rabbits,' could well be spared ini d while they are tolerably sure to th t a~gllows at last I think a an reac -- ptuar -msia, little wholesome lynching wouli1 not be out of.place. Buit overstepping every other question in New York at the pres ent time, is the all absorbing one, of. how is New York going in the next election? Ministers, lawyers, shop girls, and hod carriers, seem to take an equal interest in this vital political question. On that ques tion hangs the Presidency, and the hopes of' succession to Grover Clevelard or James G. Blaine. The memory of man runneth not back when such wild enthuisiasm has been seen at such an early stage of the canvass. We are two months cf from the election, and the streets are6 died night after night with Plumed Knights and Cleveland le gions. All sorts of banners chal lenge the sky.

O the 11th of Marcb, 1841, the Pres dent one of the finest passenge steamers of her time-left Ne York for Liverpool with many pa sengers on board. Three or for days after her departure .she et countered a terrific tornado not fa to the south of Cape Race, and wa seen by a French sailing vessel t enter a thick cloud or rain-stora which brooded upon the hce of th deep. and obscured the heavily-lI boring vessel from view; in half a hour or so the clond lifted, but n President met the anxious eyes < the gaz;rs, who, in the phrase c French mariners, "interrogated th horizon" in search of the missin object. There was no possibilit of her having run into an iceberg c come into collision with anothe ship ; but against her name in th underwriter's books were inscribe( those melanchoy words which, w are told, ought never to be em ployed in connection with a well built and well-manned craft of an kind ' foundered at sea." No tract of her existence were ever found ezeept a few spars and part of boat believed to have belonged t her, which were washed ashore af ter some weeks upon the coast o N orth Wales. A mong niany othe passengers of note whom she carrie< weru included Tyrone. Power, the well-known and universally pop. ar Irish comedian, and Lord Fitz roy Charlee George Lennox, see >nd son of the late and brother o bhe present Duke of Richmond Lord Fitzroy Lennox was an ofi :er in the gnards. and was on hie say home, from Canada in the ex )ectation of passing his twenty irst birth day on the following 11t >f June with attacbed parents. He was his mother's favorite son, and vas named after Fitzroy Sdmerset, ubsegnently Lord Raglan, whc )ad been his father's friend and fel ow soldier oh the. Duke of Wel. ington's staff during the Penin:n ar War. There are many still iving-and among them none tells he story with more feeling than be venerable and much-respected Earl of Strafford-who well re semnber the long and protracted gony of hope and suspense which he late Duchess of Richmond was loomed to endure. Some of those, 3deed, who knew her best, and rere acquainted with the singular epth and warmth of her affections, eld the opinion that, to her dying our, the bereaved mother refused a give up all hope that she might nce again be blessed with a sight I' her lost son. Tlhat .hope was ot destined to be realized; but nong the mourners who year after sar awaited that "message from the 3a" which was never to be received, ie late Duchess of Richmond will ways occupy a foieemost place. Steam voyages backward and for ard across the Atlantic have lat rly been performed with such itonishing rapidity, that the pre. ~nt gene.ration of residents in the d and new worlds are far less prne ired than their predecessors for te loss of a passenger steamer at a. Yet the records of that great, .t highway of maritime nations, e North Atlantic Ocean, proclaim at during the first thirty years of eamn navigation voyages were ry far indeed from being as safe is now the case. Thus we learn am1 the Natio$tal Gaczetta, of New ark, that from the beginning of 41 to the end of 1873 no fewer an forty-eight Atlantic steamers rished at sea, the President be g the first aind the Ville du Uavre e last yiptimn, During these three d-thirty years the Cunard Comn lost the Africa and the Tripo t the sac rifice of life or a~ lette~~~ tween 1851 and 1873 the Im lime lost six, the most melanch< case being that of the City of Bi ton, whose fate is still a mystea The Allan line, again, which o: mienced in 1852, was so unfortumE as to lose seven vessels before 181 The Collins line, built and own in the United States, re n four v< sels between 1852 and 1857, which they lost two.

The Royal Mail, with whicl the Compagnic TranAatlantiqe i, in competition, lost fifteen ship during the first twenty-two years "It has been computed," adds, how ever, The National Gazette, of Ne , York, "that upward of sixteen thot: sand voyages were. made across th< d Atlantic between 1840 and 1874 bi Lt these steamship lines.".

BISHOP HUN'TINGTON ON MO RALS. Why He Prefers Grover Cleveland to James G. Blaine-Points for Voters Among the prominent men of the country who spend their summers I in the delightful old County of ilampshire is Bishop Huntington - of Syracuse, N. Y., who resides for - the summer in an old-fashioned - farm house somewhat modernized, in the quaint and historical town of Hadley. Your reporter had a very pleasant chat the other day with this well-known theologian on the political aspects of the day. While the Bishop's taste and work do not lead him into politics, yet he is a keen observer of what is going on in the political world, and his deductions are made after ma tre reflection and careful investi. gation. As to his own position the Bishop said: "I class myself with the Independents, for I am in the habit of voting according to the character of the men placed in nomination." In reply to a query as to his opinion of Mr. Blaine he 'said: "Well, I have no desire to publish my opinions to the world, nor do I care to hold them back. I have never been in favor of Blaine, whom I recognize as a trafficker in official influence, and I am very much pained to see so .many of my .New England friends yielding up the high standard of morals 80 requisite to the Presidential candi date in the past. Nothing has been said in this miserable attempt which can bring him into the society of the pure st.ateemen of the past. It would indeed he deplorable if the young men of this nation should be informed by this election that the people of the United States con done the bffenses proved against' James G. Blaine. The moral effect would be. very depressing should they be told by his election that they can lie, defraud, become dem agogues, bribe givers and takers and still not forfeit the public con fidence. it is a humiliating spec tacle to see so many men like Hoar, DLawes and others twisting his dis honored record in spelt a wvay as to become a deliberate attempt to make his conduct reputable. To me the action of those who sneer at the .attempt to purify the political atmosphere is contemptible." .As the Bishop spends most of his~ time in central New York his opin ion of Cleveland has weight. In answer to his views of Cleveland he remarked: "His public life has been trustworthy, upright and man. ly. He- is a man of honor and there is much in his public career1 to admire," Touching upon the I scan dal concerning Governor Cleve land's private life, Bishop Hunting ly hieving as I do that this is a thin >s of the-past and no part of his pres y, ent character, I shall certainly vol n. for him. Until 1 came into thi te State I never heard aught abon 4. this scandal. fle does not loo ed with complaceny on the past, t, n ,s- is not living as a dissolute ma: of According to the Christianity whic mn I teach, we are to forgive. and as 'e- understand that he is living ai at honorable life in the present, I se a. no reason why I should niot cas b- my vote for the reform Governo1 e, Grover Cleveland." - Washin gto n.
