than 81 900.
There are nearly s2s 900 pos.masters who
have not been heard fir, m,and it 10 to be hoT 81
that ttey will Cooperate with the others
II they will do 60, and if their offices average
only one dollar and fifty cents per year. or
twelve and a half cents per month. the work

made in each place throughout the country
would insure the completion Of the monument

FALSE RUMoRs.-Within the past few
weeks rumors have been put afloat, from
some source, that the Grand Trunk Rail
way Company proposed either to lease or
buy the Michigan Central or the Michi-
gan Southern Railroad, to form a com
plete connection through to Chicago
The latest rumor in this connection was,
that a proposition had been submitted for
the purchase of the Southern Road from
Detroit 10 Elkhart.
These rumors are wholly without foun-
dation. No proposition has been made
by the Grand Trunk either 10 lease or buy
the Central or the Southern, or any por-
ton Of them, nor has any such PROPOSE
ton been submitted by either of these
roads to the Grand Trunk. The reports
which have been circulated contain not O

who hung on his arm, as they promena-
ded the streets of New York, one mild
evening in October. The lady's cheel,
crimsoned, as she answered the interroga-
tory in the negative, and added:
any mother has taught me from child
hood that it is wrong to attend such pla-
ces."
"But your mother formed, perhaps,
improper prejudices, from exaggerated ac-
counts given by others; for l have often
heard her say she never attended one in
her lifc."
He spoke eloqucntly of the drama,
comedy and tragedy, and dwch with pa
thos on the important lessons there TO

"Go with me once" he said, "and

Persuasion and curiosity triumphed
over maternal precept and example, and
she hesitatingly replied:
"l'll go but once"
She went; and in that theater charm

No MORE FREIGHT.-It is said that
the owners of the large Hudson river
steamers are seriously thinking about con
fining their business to passengers, and
abandoning freight, whose transportation,
though profitable, is risky. The New
World disaster nearly wiped out the pro-
fits of one of the most prosperous sea-
sons ever known, in consequence of the
damage to the valuable freight on board.
This idea, if carried out, would make the
steamers much moro pleasant for passen-
gers. Albany Statesman.

searched for him. The anxious mother
at last opened the wash-room door, and
what u sight she bcheld. Her little boy
had got his fathers shaving utensils, and,
having covered his face with a plentiful
supply of lathcr, was standing "tip-toed''
in chair before n glass, with an open ra-
zor, trying to shave his baby face! Hear
ing the door open, he turned artly around,
and disclosed to his petrified mother two
sanguinary streams crimsoning the white
lathcr upon his check, the barbarous ra-
zor having inflicted gashes there, in bis
primary efforts at shaving. She kissed
him first. and then gave him another bar.
