DEAR REGISTER To my great de-
light Jon have nigrated. j congratu'
late you on your change Of base-also On
your sign. The next clear dayi VIII
ascertain if it is visible to the naked
eye. l saw it to-day by the aud OF Q
powerful glass kind of object glass l
don't object to. A great many other
neople examined it in the same manner.

who had tuo-glasses, saw two signs.
What reason do you assign for hanging
q sign sdhjgh u If-ithad been anOther
Register Board could name, the pro-
priety would be manifest. As it is,
some folks say it's ali nonsense ; sigH-e
gua.noa- sense, i suppose. 1t is saidithat
the late lamented Constantine, Il we'll
known European gentleman who hour
ished some years-ago, had a sign, which,
like yours, was hung in the sky ana
that he did thriving business under
it. / hope you may realize its motto

We had session Of the Council
Board OH Tuesday night. The Council
bored some of onr Radical friends most
shamefully. 1t cOaxed o gentleman
rightout of their ranks and seduced him
into accepting fat Office under our
Democratic city government. Thiswas
in pursuance Of our fayorite policy Of
Cancellation. If we had Offices enough
we could conciliate the whole Radical
party-except on election days, when,
in consideration of their being with MS
all the rest of the year, We could not
object to their voting the Republican
ticket gss't d" @sit''"H
Some of the details Of the Municipal
Clerks election are highly interesting.
You have in your drawer list of twen-
ty-one Democratic Councilmen, all of
whom voted for Parker on the, first
three ballots, and then to avoid -
(please supply the vacuum) supported
Chapline on the fourth. l know they
did for they say 80 themselves. As the
highest number of votes received by
Parker was six and by Chapline eigh-
teen, and as figures won't lie, the infer.
encs is easy. The Council is generally
supposed to consist of thirty.seven
members. This is popular delusion.
Il is row ascertained that in the aggre-
gate, cighty-three votes were pledged
IN the different candidates for Clerk.
If we only knew rhere to find oar city
fathers, / think census ought to be
taken to ascertain their exact multi
tude.
Tuesday nights work has democrat
lied the Radical ranks most gloriously.
There are hundreds of men i'll that par
ty who have never yet voted the Demo-
cratic ticket and who never will. They
can get all they want without. 1t is
probable that this election will bring
relief to the arduOus and unrequited
labors of some of our Councilmen. The
people are unwilling that they should
any longer sacrifice themselves for the
public good. The truth is they are &C.
tually dying in the public service.
Tuesday night was the death Of sererat.
1 think they should meet their fate
with resignation, and / move that their
designations be accepted.
see that since my handsome defense
of waterfalls, they have gone up CON
siderably. They raise 'em now with a
derrick-crane 'em to the top of the
Uranium, just rs they raise other heavy
things to high places. 1 don't want to

ionable top-knot., without fearing that
capillary tension will draw the wearers
over their own heads. Think of the
Spring modes compelling summersets.
The high chiguons are intended to he
very enchantins-quite necr1mantic, one
would suppose, from the amount of art
which they indicate, but for my part l
don't like that sort of neckcdncss. l
think our fair friends have aimed too
high: they haze overshot the mark
TRANQUILITY yours,
