RISING IN THE WORLD
A youth who was daily employed
As clerk of local express,
BY ambition was much ANNOYED,
And sat down one day in distress,
Signing, "If knew how to e!"
When upward he flew just at that;
Then came down with painful surpr se
Twas an yeastkeg whereon he sat
Its bursting his clothes bespattered,
But this brought him cheer after all, -
For greatly his pride Was datteIed
When clad new at Tower Hall!

supper-room, and the two in the second story
for clOak-rooms.
Yesterday afternoon the roof over the wing
having been completed a collation. was served
i'm the supper-room in the third story in grand
style. The table was well filed with good and
substantial food, and in the room adjoining
plenty 10 drink could be had. Mr.. Morgan, the
enterprising owner of the property, deserves
great deal Of credit for the manner in which he
has supplied this great desideratum.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-The Democrats
and Conservatives held their first meeting in the
Court House, last evening. The building was
pretty we'll filled, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. There was also a meeting held out
side in the open air, which was addressed by
prominent gentlemen. The meeting in the
Court House was called to order by the nomlna-
tion of Samuel j. B1ard to act as Chairman.
That gentleman made few fitting remarks, at
the conclusion OF which he introduced A. II.

THE EIGHTH STREET IMPROVEMENTS
William Warnock is, pernaps above all others,
entitled to the credit of being the pioneer of
the Eighth street retail trade. He began his
mercantile career about thirty-fve years ago in
a little shop on the west side of the street, be-
tween Filbert and Arch. Meeting with what was
in those days rare success, he finally removed
into larger quarters on the opposite side, on
the premises now known as No. 43. During the
early portion of his business life he employed
as a clerk for ten years Mr.. E. r. Lee, who
on his retirement became one of the members
of the succeeding firm. About five years ago
Mr.. Lee became the owner of the entire busi-
ness, and during these five years he has ex.
panded 1t to five times its magnitude at that
period.
Mr.. Lee has recently completed, at a cost OF
nearly $25,0OO, a handsome improvement oil the
old stand, imparting thereby to the property
nett increase in value of about $4,000. The
store has now depth of one hundred and
thirty feet on Eighth street, and branches OF at
the rear one hundred feet to Filbert street. The
ceiling has been raised from eight feet and a
half 10 fourteen feet, thus rendering 1t one OF
the most commodious and attractive in the city.
The front is handsomely constructed of brown
stone and receives additional beauty from the
large New York bulk windows, with heavy plate
glass, which adorn the first floor. The door
way on Eighth street has likewise been beauti-
fully paneled with black walnut to depth of
SIX feet from the 'front.'
MIR. Lee, since hls Improvement has increased
his stock full three-fold, and is no w,prepared to
furnish to the public everything in the line of
staple and fancy dry goods making something
of specially of fancy articles, silks, and the
like. The Fllbert street store IS used eXclu-
sively as a showroom for hoop-skirts, and in
that respect Is one of the most attractive in
the CITY,

A statement with the following reSo-

to the bill of the superintendent OF re

The report represented thar the COM.

cent the amounts Of bills transcribed
into it, ordered by the Board from
time to time to he paid Tor repairs, was
referred 10 the committee at the last
meeting Of the Board
The absence Of q concise and intelli-

rassment to the committee in arriving at
satisfactory conclusions in regard to
many items charged IN the SuperinteDd-
ent's bill which was referred to them bv

MANUFACTUFE9 AND REVENUE. The
effect of the suspension OF manufac,
lures would be to diminish the revenue,
The effect is in part immediate What
ever tax IS laid upon manufactured arti-
clcs ceases when the articles are no
longer produced, and the income revenue
Is also affected by the reduction of profits
both to the capitalist who owns the
works and to the men who do the labor
in them. There is nothing surer Or
palmer than that idle machinery cannot
be az profitable as machinery that brings
in more than it costs to work it. And
good wages to workman are better
than no wages Yet, it appears, that in
the face of all these truisms With refer
ence 10 loss and gain, there are many
and extensive manufacturing establish
ments lying idle at this hour, aud have
been so lying for many days, Is there
no remedy for this anomalous state of
things We hope the joint interest and
sagacity of owners aud wOrkmen who
appear to be on good terms with each
other, will hit upon some plan better
than entire uuproduCtiyeness, both for
The countrys beD,lJ and their own -

INTERESTING TO THE LADIES.-Late
Paris fashions state that the leaders
of new styles in the fashionable world
are trying to bring in still shorter waists
than those of last season, and the skirts,
unreasonably wide at the lower extrem-
ity, are, as far as possible, made TO as.
sumo the appearance of being fiat around
the bottom, by means Of large folds,
front and back. The long white kid
gloves, too, have been seen once or twice,
but, besides their real ugliness, they
would be expensive, so that there is a
pause in adopting them. A love of a
bonnet mentioned in late Paris fashions
is of drawn black velvet, bouillonee
tulle crown, spotted with jet A bow of
velvet ribbon on the side, with a cameo
in the middle. The torsades of
passementerie worked with Jet across
the crown, and falling in festoons over
the chignon. The inside Is drapery of
tulle velvet fastened with q cameo
From the description it is something
formidable as we'll as beautiful.

NHow YOUNG IDEA" SHoT.-Among
the exercises of our public schools is one
in which several words and their def
nitions are given to the scholars by the
teacher, and the little folks are required
to construct sentences in which these
words shall occur, TO familiarize them
with the correct use of the language. A
day or two ago, in one of the schools, the
teacher gave the word tenacious" and
the definition "hOlding fast" Some Of
the sentences were rather unique and
novel, but the palm of originality was
carried off by a bright little urChin of
seven, whose slate contained this home.
" sentence: 1--WE tenacious our friends
when they come to see us."n The young
syntactical Murray had doubtless seen
the vigorous embraces Of two individu
ais of opposite sexes after lengthy alb.
sence, and his word is not so far ont Of
the way as it may seem.
