Rad Gas-Bis Prices-Bnld Frauds.

The gas companies in this city are growing
worse and worse every day. They not only
charge enormously for gas, but furnish a miser-
able article. II was only the other night that
the gaslights in our immense establishment
came near going out altogether, obliging us to
scour the city-and Sunday night at that-for
candles and other means of enabling our en-
ployes to continue their vocations. An APP
plcation at the Office Of the company afforded
no satisfaction. It being Sunday night
nobody was there, or whoever was gave some
stupid explanation about a breakage In the
Croton water pipes necessitating the cutting off
of the gas down town. These gas companies
have also apractice Of requiring the new occu-
pants Of buildings to liquidate arrearages due
by their predecessors, or shutting off the gas.
A monopoly makes the demand, and there
is no redress This and other practices Of
these companies are sheer frauds. The Legis-
lature, now in session, should overhaul these
companies, examine their charters, ascertain
where they have overcharged or furnished an
inferior article, where their works have created
nuisances and otherwise forfeited their cor
porate privileges, and, unless ample security
be given for better conduct in the future, annul
their charters altogether.

THE RAIDS OF DEATH.


This magnificent piece of poetry Is from the
Rev. W. II. Plat, the Rector Of Calvary
Church, Louisville, Ky.
On his phantom steed, with passions speed,
Death sweeps on his circuits wide;
Through every zone he rides alone
With death as bis weird bride.
Pause and think
On the brink
OF the tide,
Dim and wide
In the gloom
OF thy doom,
Passing thee.
With a mocking glee DER every sea,
He gathers his tracking storm,
And he hunts down life in its gasping strife,
In every breathing form;
With his mufiled feet, his courser feet,
O'ertakes each flying man,
And summons him back, in every crowd,
To tramp in bis caravan.
Ponder sighi
Each must die;
Vengeful death,
In each breath,
CoDquers life.
To the laughing child and the savage wild,
To the maiden in mystic light
To the less mind, In mission kind
To hope, with It's beamings bright
To the proud and great In ponp Of state
To all Of 4 vagrant's birth
To the heart Of grief, like a smitten leaf
To all OF this moaning earth.
Hasten death,
Ponder death
Ink waves.
Silent graves,
All around
Thee abound,

1t is said that many farmers, 10 diff.

planting orchards because they fear
there will eventually be more fruit
raised than market can, under the
most favorable cire instances, be found
for. These farmers should take a view
OF the dried fruit trade, or Of the canned
fruit traffic, and also make themselves
acquainted with the wonderful con.
sumption of fresh fruit which prevails
in all directions. .usands of dollars
