hour system. Two employees Of the
City Water Department claimed Of
the city government one-ffth addio
tional pay, for laboring two hours a
day more than eight hours, which
time, by the ordinances of the city,
is made legal days work for all
persons employed by the city govern
ment. The court, however, decided
that it was optional with the en-
ployes to labor the ten hours requir>
ed or to resign their positions, and
they could make no legal claim for
extra compensation.

FALL OF A UNITED STATES SENA-
ToR.-A correspondent at st. Louis,
writing to an Eastern jo4rnal mar
rates the tolowing "Coming
down Chestnut street, st. Louis one
day last week, | was struck by the
appearance OF an old man past sixty,
who wore a threadbare coat, shiny
with constant wear, and whose hat
was bruised and seedy. His head was
bent toward the earth, and his walk
was lettering shuttle, the effect Of
whiskey and old age. He reeled
from one side of the pavement to the
other, and at last brought up aeainst
8 lamp post on the corner, when a
young looking loafer coming along
saluted him, with, 'Holloa jim, come
and take drink. The old man.
eyes frightened, and arm-in-arm he
sauntered to the nearest GROCERY
with his companion. Five years ago
that man was James Green, United
States Senator from Missouri, and in
the days OF Kansas and Lecompton
matters, he was next to Stephen a.
Douglas, the ablest debater in Con
gress. But the war broke out, Mr.
Green was sent to the rebel Congress,
soon lost his property, his position

poor drunkard, and earns barely q

Wanted-A Partner with q small
Capital.

In every large city there is Ger
toin class of persons who, unable or
unwilling to earn an honest living,
lie in wait fol unsuspecting young
men whom by cunning misrepresen-
tations they cOntrive to swindle out
of what money they have and then
abandon them to their fate. A large
number of those who advertise for
"a partner with a small capital, "
possibly in a light manufacturing
business, are of this class. Some OF
those who advertise are probably
honest and honorable men, but it is
best for those who answer advertise
mcnts of this character to be on
their guard.
AS specimen Of the modus operan-
di of these gentleman, the following
are the particulars of a case which
came under my immediate notice
A young man with few hundred
dollars was attracted by an advertise
meut Offering a share in very prof
liable manufacturing business, tor
the small sum Of $500. Calling at
the room ir dicated, he found well
dressed aud plausible gentleman,
whose quiet manner in setting forth
the advantages of the business with
out betraying any undue anxiety TO
create a favorable impression, seemed
to augur integrity. The advertisers
only object in taking partner, as he
assured the young man, was that he
found himself unable to carry on the
business alone 1t was necessary he
should travel and obtain orders. AS
to the desirable nature of the bust
ness. he had made clear profit OF
FIVE hundred dollars in single month,
in proof Of which he exhibited en-
tries Of sales which would insure
such profit. He only required the
pecuniary deposit as a guarantee OF
honesty, as the new partner would
necessarily be left in charge offnan
cial matters. All this, though it
sounded very plausible, would not
have inspired the young man with
sufficient confidence to embark his
money in the enterprise, but for the
fact that this conversation was in
terrupted twice by callers claiming
to be agents, and leaving large or
ders for the article Of manufacture
in one case demanding why his order
left the day before was not ready !?
To this the answer was made that
unexpectedly large orders had come
in, exceeding the ability TO supply
them. Moreover, that one of the
worklnen was sick, that on Satur
| day, at latest, the agent should be
supplied. These men of course,
were the confederates of the adver
tiser, and were acting under his or
ders, being paid for so doing.
Everything looked so rose~colored
that the young man lost no time in
accepting the partnership offered,
paying, however less sum than that
originally proposed, as money was
no consideration with the proprietor
of the light manufacturing business.
He pocketed the sum offered and
the papers were drawn up. The
new partner was to draw twenty
! five dollars per week for personal
expenses, the remainder of the
profits to 90 towards extending the
business. The day after the part
nership was formed, the advertiser
was summoned to neighboring city,
but left note stating that he should
return the next dag. 1t is needless
to say that he did not return, neither
did the agents call again.-From a
Nslc York Letter.

MEALs.-Breakfast should be the
most solid meal, for it is then that
the longest period ofabstinenee must
be made up for, and also then that
the vitality is at its highest force.
Thus the stomach is both most needy
and most competent at break fast.
The best dinner hour is not far from
noon for, by about that time, the
vital forces have ebbed to the point
where new supply is needed II
dinner be "a solid aud full meal as
breakfast, there will very likely fol
low period of stupidity and reluc>
lance to move or think. That, how
ever, shows that too much was eaten.
A proper dinner leaves the eater, as
well able to work in the afternoon as
his breakfast left him for the tore
noon. A proper supper should be
lighter still. Heavy meals in the end
OF the day overbnrden the system
tend toward disease, and disturb,

we know nothing of Mr., Ward $
work, more than we gather from a
short notice of the same but hope he
has done justice to one when dead,
who, when living it was so difficult
to help: to one who was so jealous
of himself that one could hardly
think of him kindly without disturb-
ing him to one who cared so little
for the good or i'll opinion of others,
and yet hungered and thirsted for it
