BRIGHT REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS. Jlowlnc on Dry Land A School For Artistic Art I/.miti Sonic Christmas Hooks A Urcczc From the Atlantic. " f r New York Let tor. iW YORK , Tuesday. Oct 2. [ Special Correspondence. ] The prospects uro brightening for the republicans , both in the city and the state , fo r the over weening confidence of the domocraci has made them intractable to the voice of the party loaders and they are squab bling among themselves like hogs over a swill trough. Contrary to my antici pation Tammany hall and the co'unty democracy have resolved to light out their feud and will have each a , candi date for the mayoralty. The county democracy nominated Mr. Hnwitt , and rose to the height of the occasion by arranging for a tremendous ratification mooting at Cooper institute noxtThurs- day. It is pretty certain that Tam many's candidate will be ShcrilT Grant , who will be adangorousopponent for Mr. IloiviU. because ho is u thorough party man and at the same time rigidly honest. Ho was the ono nldorman who scented Jake Sharp's boodle , and voted against the franchise of the Hroadway road vehemently. For this ho was elected shorilT , and his con- duet as sheriff has boon exemplary , so that he will poll a heavy vote. Under these circumstances the republican nominee - ineo ought to have an excellent chance , but much depends on the nomination , mid it has unavoidably been deferred until the democratic monkeying was dellnitely concluded. The republican , candidate for Governor. 'Warner Miller , if _ is almost certain of election , for all re- speetablo citizens have a crow to pluck with Hill for vetoing the high license bill , mid for declining to sign the Brooklyn park bill which would have reduced the number of commissioners from eight to one. The eight fought among themselves like cats and dogs , so that the captain of the nark police was obliged to defend one of them from actual violence at the hands of an enraged biothor commis sioner. Warner Miller's electlo.i is be ing betted on by nil the pool-room cog noscenti , n.ntl many votonms believe tlmt it is a certainty. IIOWJNQ OK 1 > KY LAND.

We place on our Silk coun ter Monday morning a lot of Black Silks in the different wears ; cheaper than anything we have ever offered before.

Much regret is ex pressed that Hanlan should bo at the other end of creation , for the public &U11 believes in him in spite of his con tinuous defeatsand ho would have been a drawing feature. AllTlhTKJ AUTISANS. It has been a sort of reproach that In the nineteenth century everything was made by machinery , and art objects wanted the impress of human interest so plainly visibly in the work of men ot the mediaeval days. Uusidn has wailed over this degeneracy in the most ex- nuisitcly embroidered prose. But after all there has been a reaching in the otherdirection. Hearing of the crea tion of an institute for artist artisans , f wont to see K. C. Moore , who is ono of the partners 01 Tillany's , and foremost in all arli.-tio undertakings. His olllce is in the silver factory on I'rinco's street , and ho was extremely courteous and willing to speak on the subject , lie said : ' 'We have incredible dilliculty in getting workmen who can make hand made jewelry , and we have a constant demand for it. There is this fault about gold jewelry imulo by machinery that it never lees the form of a gold plato' and this is somolhingwhich the artistic cyo detests. A good workman can make a'handsome brooch or car-ring with no other tools s > ave bits of wood of various hardnesses. Uut good workmen arc not to lie found , and wo have had to train these we have. Now this institute just established is to educate such workmen as we fceok for now unavailingly , and not only wo , but all other trades that are artistic. This is not an experiment , but a wull-enleulated plan to do somu- llung essentially necessary. The de mand for hand-made gouds is not only increasing with us , but it is just , as great In furniture and metal working and ceramics. The owners of many large enterpri'-os of thy artistic class are pi epaicil to siibtain liberally tin cn- loriuihO which hits been created for theii needs , and its ultimate Success is not in the least doubtful. " M.IMIC KXQI'lblli : CIIIUS'IMAS IIOUKS. Messrs. Houglilon Milllin & Co. . the publibheis , have revealed homo of their intentions with rc-gaid to Christinas litoiaturo. They will bring out a Hue edition of the poetical \vinksol F.mmti Liuarus , whoso death , lust bummer , tilled with regret the hearts of all who knew hor. It is singular that in the sympathetic notices of her life and tal ents , no mention is made of the fact that her father is one of the leading por- irait painters of this city , and it was from him that t > lie inherited the itrtiblie nature llmt found vent in such musical verse. The bool. will bo in twp hand some \olumesnnd will have a wide ? ale. for the gifted writer was a universal favorite whoso genius was recogni/ed by every one. There will bo also a now edition of the "Scarlet Letter" with illustrations by Mary ( lollouk Foote , who , I fear , is hardly able to do the au thor justice. Hawthorne requires a kindred genius , and such a man will bo hard to lind. It is alto slated that there will be a new edition of the Kubaiyat of Omar Khayyam , but this i ? only portially correct. Fitzgerald has revised | his quatrains generally , and that it- all , for iho illustrations will bo the haino process , reproductions of Elihu Uodder's magnificent 'drawings , Vhv ? ! ! : tnUit lie soon Io be appreciated.

It is claimed for him that ho was poisoned by the water which came through soil that had been rendered deadly by the emanations of a quarter of a million corpses that have been in humed during the past lifly years. And it is claimed that no caution was issued by the cemetery company warning their employes ihut the water was unlit for human consumption. The company de clare the water to be porfr-elly , healthy , and argue that as the wells are all fifty feet deep the burial of all tlic'.e bodies can have had no clVect upon it. Ltut they forget that the water has to pas-j through the burial stratum of soil , and must be hideously tainted. In a des potic country the judge would compel the president to drink a glass of this water or to pay the damages prayed for. imvAiii : > uuivS : Mriuim : .

Ifo had considerable literary reputation , for ho translated from the Japanese the Loyal Ronins , and his translation is so superior to all others that it will re main the .standard. IIo also translated the "Captive of Love , " a romance by Haknin , a Japanese author of the Kour- teenth century. IIo was a member of the Authors club , and I understand , a resolution of sorrow will be passed. It is certain that the rash act was per formed under the unendurable agony of his brain trouble , for ho was such a good husband and father that ho could not knowingly have deserted the Hock of children and the dear wife that wore dependent upon him.

Of such a mistake 1 want to toll you. The person on whom is the jokt is a no less prominent person than .lames G. Blainc. Jt happened at Gettysburg on May IJO ; ( Decoration Day ) , IKS. ! . Senator TIawley and Mr. Hlaiuo had each delivered a brilliant oration tion to an iinmengo concourse of people from the open pavilion , modelled after the Parthenon , and which is lo cated in the National cemetery. The exercises of the day in honor of the thousands of dead warriors who are sleeping their lust sleep on that hill had been concluded and the two dis tinguished statesmen \vero standing on the pavilion and holding an informal reception. Several thousand person y had already aailcd themselves of the opportunity to Hhalio tliom by the hand \\hcn Miss Grace Mottor , of Kminotsburg , stopped up to Mr. Itlaine. She was a perfect doll baby of a girl , nineteen years old , although she might easily have boon mistaken to bo ten years less , dressed , us she was in whit'o and wearing a very becoming sailor hat. She was just li\o foil in height , with a round , laughing face and a perfect figuro. Her largo brown eyes were bcaining , and her glo-sy black hair , whii'h just peeped from under her hat , added to the beauty of her waxy morbide//a of .skin. IIo took her by the hand , and in lessliino than il lakes to wrilo it hail clasped his hands around her waist , raised her from her feet and kissed her. Ko sooner had ho relinquished bis hold than she took a step backward and , throwing back her shapely head , gave him such a look that it caused a rush of blood to Mr. Hlaino's face , lie saw his mistake but it was too Into to rectify it. Jfo had mistaken Miss Mutter for a little girl. That evening Hdward Mel'hersou gave a reception at hist mansion to Messrs. Hlaino and llawley , and among the inviti'd guists was Miss Mottor. She w.ia again presented to Mr. JSli.mo and ho at once recogni/od her. l.iko n , true Knight , ho apologi/.ed for the liberty ho had taken in the aftern ) on.
