In the Board Of Common Council yes
terday, Councilman Corners, 10 speaking
Of the creation of a new Office, that Of As

Of the passage Of the same bill, that he
hoped that IL il became 4 law, that men
who pay attention 20 their business should

to pay his respects to him.. drersed in

Immediately send you to the House of

could, and |, having changed his dress,
he returned to the Deanery, where he
was received with the greatest cor

vELocIPEDEs IN NEW YORK.

Il New Yorker was seem with q

great advantage. He rode a Frene b
velocipede, wilma driving wheel OF
about three feet two inches, and rode
it bike P master, His SLOW, movement
was excellent, without unsteadiness
or wabbling, ahd'When he let himself
out he went with the speed of an ar
row. In Paris it is NO uneoInmon
thing to see such a vehicle dartine
hithef and thither along the crowded
street, but in New York it was a nov
city. And yet the syelocipede is no
novelty. 1t was invented sixty years
agS9 mn q1elling power was then,
as now, the feet Of the rider, except
that he put them on the ground and
trotted along with his machine. The
present form was devised in 1880 by
M. Dreuze, an employee of the French
Postofiee,, whS haht he thaA madel
a great thing for letter carriers in the
rural districts9 The badness of the
roads frustrated his hopes, and his in
ventionfeil into oBscurity. 1t il now
revived, with more brilliant prospects

them in this country, which cannot

RELIGIOUS FAITH.-I envy no quail
ty of mind or intellect in others, be it
genius, power, wit, or fancy; but If I
could choose what would be most de-
lightful, and, I believe, most useful to
me, should prefer a firm religious
belief to every other blessing, for it
makes life disciple of goodness; Gre
ates new hopes when all earthly hopes
vanish; awakes life even in death, and
from corruption and decay calls up
beauty and divinity makes an instru-
ment of fortune and shame the ladder
of ascent to Paradise; and, far above
all combination of earthly hopes, calls
up the most delightful visions of palms
and amaranths, the gardens of the
blest, the security of everlasting joys,
where the sensualist and the skeptic
view only gloom, decay, annihilation
and despair.-Hunsphrey Ddvy.

CoNvERsATIoN.-He that question
eth much shall learn much, and con-
tent much; but especially if he apply
his questions to the skill of the per-
sons whom he asketh for he shall
give them occasion to please them
selves in speaking, and himself shall
continually gather knowledge; but
let his questions not be troublesome,
for that is fit for poser; and let him
be sure to leave other men their turn
to speak; nay, if there be any that
would reign and take up all the time,
let him find means to take them of,
and bring others on-as musicians
used to do with those that dance too
long galliards. If You dissemble
sometimes your knowledge of that
you are thought to know, you shall
be thought, another time, to know
that you know not.-Bacon.

REMEDY FOR FLEA-BITEs.-Jo ohm
Phoenix has the following snever-fail-
ing" remedies for fea-bites: a,'. &.
"Boil quart of tar until it becomes
righe thin. Remove the,elothing and
before the tar becomes perfectly cool,
with broad fiat brush apply a thin
smooth coating to the entire body and
limbs. While the tar remains soft.
the flea becomes entangled in its tena-
cious folds, and is rendered perfectly
harmless q I q but it will soon form hard
smooth coating, entirely impervious
to his bite. Should the coating crack
at the knee or elbow joints, it is mere
ly necessary to retouch it slightly at
those places. The whole coat should
be renewed every three orfour weeks.
This remedy is sure, and having the
advantage of simplicity and economy,
should be generally known, ,,Ear
"a still simpler method of prevent
ing the attacks of those little pests, is ::
On feeling the bite of o flea, thrust the
bitten part Immediately into boiling
water. The heat of the water destroys
itheinseet and instantly removes the
pain of the bite"
