VIII. ID The Price Of an Alderman ?

we have for day or two heard this question
propounded at almost every turn and corner, il
a manner which showed plainly that the que
risls were in earnest in their pursuit Of that
piece of information The universal desire to
obtain correct answer to the question shows
what great value is placed upon it, and gives
one some idea Of the variety of ways in which
such knowledge could be made useful We
have not particularly observed what sort of per,
sons seem most anxious in the inquiry, but we
have noted the fact that they are, generally
speaking, very sagaeious looking chaps, and
don't appear to be making themselves busy for
nothing. 1t was quite natural and to be ex-
pected that the Council, as q body, should in
terest itself in any proposition to appraise the
value Of the vote and influence of its members,
and hence the appointment of Committee to
arrive at that knowledge by direct inquiry and
investigation. For the credit of our City Faith
ers, collectively and Individually, we hope the
Committe in its report will not by any confusion
of terms attach to the fact Of being offered a
bride the ignominy of accepting one, because in
that case it might be reasonably unprecedented
that quorum would not be left unattainted.
Seriously, we agree with the indignant mem
Der of the Lower Board, who declared at q re-
cent meeting that the honor of an American
Alderman, and more particularly of New Or
leans Alderman, should be like that Of Caesars
wife, above suspicion.

OPENING OF THE CANOES CANAL. IN INDIA
The Ganges Canal, the greatest public work as
vet constructed by the English in India, was
opened by the Lieutenant Governor of Agra on
the Sth of April The opening, as described
BY the local papers-Englsh clergymen reading
n form of prayers for the occasion, Brahmlns
throwing flowers into the stream an imposing
display of troops, a general distribution ofsWeet-
meats, missionaries preaching to the crowd,
racing in sacks and the like formed a meiangf
that could only have been presented in British
India Though the great trunk Of the canal has
been thus formally opened, the branches re-.
auired for the distribution of the water will not
be fully complete for some years By the time
they are 50, the work will have cost million
and a half; and it is thought that the direct net
return will be at the rate of about per cent on
the outlay, and the indirect return arising from
the increase of cultivation and land revenue Is
estimated ut about the same sum
The results of the canal, in preventing the re-
currence of the famiues that have invariably
followed the failure of the moOnsoons in the dis
tIicts it traverses, and in creating numerous
lines of easy and economical transit connected
with the great rivers of the D0ab, are lncalcu-
liable. The total length of channel navigable
throughout, including the trunk and terminahle
lines into the great branches is very nearly 500
miles The principal engineering work is an
aoueduct over the Solani river, having u watery
way If $50 feet This work cost s3O0,O0O, or
about nine times as much as Teltoras aqueduet
over the Dee, at Pont-yCysyilt, which IS halt
MS long again, and nearly three times as high
but with II much narrower channel, anu there
can be little doubt that had Teliordss mode Of
construction been adopted by the military officer
who constructed the work, the cost would have
been very much less than ii has been.

An INTERESTING iNcIpENr.-A correspondent
of the Greenfield Republic relates the following
interesting instance Of maternal affection in ami
mails;
A few days since, Mr. Joel Rice, Of Conway,
discovered on tree what he supposed to be a
crows nest But on examination he found, in
stead of brood of unbedged corn pullers, i
litter of flying squirrels Not . little pleased
with his booty, he thought it a fine opportunity
to secure an acceptable present for his children
Having descended from the tree, he stood Al the
foot, contemplating his prize, when the old one
made her appearance mothers temerty,
when her offspring are in danger, knows no lin,
its, she jumped upon his hat, erawled down Il
his hand, seized one of her young ones, and en-
deayored to take it away. For moment Mr.
r. resisted her claim-yet only for moment
Sympathy for parents agony made m appeal
and was uccessful, his hetterteelings triumphed
and the dam gathering into her furry folds a
little one, sought new home for her family
After short time she returned, and then again
until she had taken them all away.
