TWO CITIES ONE A FEW THOUGHTS UPON THE IMAGINATION. 4 Christmas Mysteries are no Non- sense--New York Ripped Up-- Handing Over Goverment to an Opposite Political Party. (Special corréspondence; Letter No. 1888) New York, Dec. 24.--The great event of the week has been the opening of the second bridge connecting what in former years were the two cities of New York and Brooklyn: It was a bitter, frosty day, but nothing could wipe out the enthusiasm that for the time existed in the two cities. It was virtually a marriage, where one for- sook its name and accepted the naw of the other, which shall be its title for all time. It was much to be re gretted that the peculiar tenets of jo litical parties should, in a manner, have marred the celebration. It was very slight, to be sure just enough to awaken comment and that was all. Twenty years ago Mayor Low had the honor of opening the first bridge con- necting these cities. It was a great event and considered one of the won- ders of the world, and many have thought that Mayor Low desired 'to grasp the honor of opening this second bridge, which marks the splendid pro gress of our advancing civilization. What folly ! The bridge was finished for actual use; it was only fitting and just that the official officer of the two cities should declare to the citizens under his government that 'this mag- nificent structure was ready for use. At any rate, thousapds turned out to the celebration; high and low, rich and poor, the beggar of the street, and croesus in his palace, each felt that it was part of his municipal heritage: he was at the opening, but hundreds of years might pass before his de scendants should see the end. It was fitting that such an event should re. ceive a special observance, and Great- er New York (once New York and Brooklyn) did itsed honor in marking this important evenf. The exercises were carried out to the letter; there was nothing but harmony on the sur. face; whatever disquietude there might have been, was hidden, and the en- thusiasm and hosannas rose to fever heat, defying the cold winds which came from the northern pole, and. as far as that vast congregation of cele- brants was concerned, the wintry blasts might have been summer zeolh- ers, and the thousands of citizens might have come clad in summer dust- ers instead of overcoats and furs. The pyrotechmic display at night was the grandest event of the whole celebra tion, and in these fireworks Payne covered himself with a greater glory than he ever received at the Crystal palace in England, and placed '"'Yan- kee Doodle" at the head of all such displays up to the present time. Great as was this event, it did not exhaust the whole of public attention. For several days past the streets have been crowded and everyone seemed to have a bundle of some kind in his hand, the contents of which was as puzzling as Barnum's "What Is It." I thought I would give one of the pedestrians, who had no bundle a straight tip. He asked to know what it all meant. 1 told him, in a con fidential whisper, that they were get- ting ready for Christmas, and those bundles were from Santa Claus to the children. With a snap, this man, who never had anything in common with the enjoyment of the children, said : "Pshaw ! You don't believe in such nonsense, do vou ?"' "Yes, I do, from the bottom of my heart," 1 said. "You and your kind wiped out Wil Ham Tell," "Jack and the Beanstalk' "Robinson. Crusoe,"" "The Arablan Nights," and almost all else in life worth remembering; I suppose the next thing you will do will be to 'wipe out George Washington and his little hat- chet and all the other pleasant tales of life." "But, these things are not true, mere creations of the imagina- tion," said he. "Let me tell you my dear. friend," I said, "that these crea- tions of the imagination are the only things left in life worth remembering; in this practical life of ours the steel reaches the heart, the misfortunes and disappointments of every day leave their wounds and sorrows behind. Most of the imaginations of sleep are pleasures and glory; we are kings and T= blood is oor Jia, whan it og: U'LL BE HALF DEAD. vio pl por weak, Jour darn wel ress will all og og ie he engthon for INS heart never leave us, but where peace, love and joy eternal reign forever. The bos Hf life is a hard load to carry, the pleasure is when we can t it, 'so, in this frosty season, with its suffering, its ice and snow, let us remember, even in our most sorrowful hour that there is a summer land beyond, that this life is but a span, the life to come will never end. Do you not know, sir, that the popu: lation of our city exceeds 3,000,000, that the walls that once surrounded it were long since broken down end vanished, and the new city of Greater New York stretches into and far be- yond where, in thy wildest dream of the geographer, its limits ever reach- "» "What will ite future be ?"' he raid. "With my finite judgment, 1 dare not answer," 1 replied. "Is it not strange that the minds which govern the present are not«satisfied to enjoy the works which they create and to let the future take care of itself ? U'll tell you why, my brother. Al mighty God has planted in His image on earth a spirit of unrest which will not be satisfied with its present sur- roundings, but k reaching out for that 'something' which the eye of man has never seen and the imagination can never dream of in all its glory till it has passed the veil. There are many true apostles in this city who spread this gospel of light, and who dedicate their lives not to themselves, but to leading the unthinking out of the darkness into the brilliant glory of an eternal day." To see our city now, a stranger wight thick a destroying army had passed and left its trail of destruction behind. The highways have Leen rip- ped up as if a bolt had been hurled by the archangel's hand to awakea the sleepers of the earth and call them to judgment. Day and night, busy gnomes are laboring with mattock and spade and those frightful agencies that blast out rock and earth at once and leave nothing but destruction behind; but, terrible as are their cffects, they are pilots that point the way from present insignificance to future great- ness. In a few days the government of this city, the annual budget of which at the present hour is over $100,000,000, will be handed over to an opposite political party, who will divide the proceeds of their victory among the soldiers who won the battle. Many offices are safe from invasion through civil service reform, and 6ih- ers still have a shield of protection by their service in the great rebellion. You can no more remove a veteran from a fat office. than you can the rock of Gibraltari*but death is sure to come and give others a chance. When the government changes, a. week from next Friday, Mayor Pov he retiring ultra-republican, will take the hard of George B. McClellen, with Tammany hall at his back, assuring him of his personal regard and his readiness to assist him in any lawful undertaking In the veins of the in-coming mayor flows the blood of the man who led the first army against tke rebellion, called by many "the young Napoleon" and from whom, in the great sorrow of his displacement, no man ever heard a disloyal word. After all, there is no great difference in the two politi cal parties of our land. Each has the honor of the mation at its heart and will bear our flag wherever glory leads; and so, to the incoming party we entrust our life, our liberty and all that we possess without fear or trem- bling, for above the present tempest we hear the admonition that echnes from that splendid tomb On ihe heights of Riverside, " Let us have ~BROADBRIM. peace.

Lovel Coke, but ten TE wails instances of this kind are not wanting in the United States, but the most extraordinary tale of all comes from Poland, and, unbeliev- able though it may seem, is fairly 'well authenticated. Margaret Kraslowna, of the village of Koninio, Poland, died in 1763, aged 108. According to Eaton, this woman at the age of ninety-four, married her third husband, Gaspard Raycolt, of the village of Ciwouszin, then 105. Dury the fourteen years they lived she brought him two boys a girl, These three children, from their very hivih, Le evident marks ge the pele age ir' parents, their hair ing grey and a vacuity appearing in their gums, like that occasioned by the loss of teeth, though they never had any. They had not strength, even as they Tew up, to masticate proper food, but ived on bread and vegetables. They were of a proper size for their age, but their backs wefe bent, their com- plexions sallow, with the external symptoms of decrepitude. Queen Victoria, who was the mother of nine children, lived to see the birth great-grandchildren and collateral de- scendants innumerable. But. there are two historic cases on record of well known women being able to say, "Rise up, daughter, and go to thy daughter, i a) daughter's daughter hath a aughter."' It is on record that the celebrated Lady Child was a grandmother at twenty-seven. She married at twelve, had her first child before she was thir generation. This serves as some sort of explanation of the phenomenon which Sir' Horace Walpole described, and which made himself feel like an antediluvian at sixty-six. For he saw seven generatians of one family, favorite of James II. He thus describ- ed the order : " with hex, then sous her aughter, Lady degrave;: then the latter's son, the ambnssador; his daughter, Lady Harriet Beard; her daughter, the present Countess Dow- wl Powis, and her daughter, Lady Clive. There are six, and the seventh now lives in a son; anfl might have dome so six or seven years ago had she married at fourteen." To Knock Out Colds.

"Imagine what you or I would have been if we had not been saved," said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to his Bible class in New 'York on Sunday last. The people of the United States have reason to think about that every day, and they never cease to thank God that yo Mr. Rockefeller has been saved, that his sainted father te- moved in his youth from Richmond, N.Y., which was a wicked town, with- out those religious influences which have sancti the whole Rockefeller family. The price of crude oil had ad- vanced only thirty-five cents within the last few months and the Standard Oil company declares another dividend of forty per cent.
