D@p Three young men, old enough
to know better, were nabbed by three
policemen in disguise, last evening, for
opening the shutters at the Cordage
Works, and for clandestinely commuui-
eating with the female operatives in
that establishment. The said youth,
at the moment they were pounced up
op, were gently reclining against the
window-sill, pouring forth the tender
est expressions of love-the beautiful
maidens,. adorned with flax and tow,
apparently fully approaching the sem
timents of the gallant young men who
we're probably absent from home with
out the knowledge or consent of their
maternal guardians. In moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, these young
men were seized by stout hands, and
ruthlessly carried away to the station
house-their dreams of love and future
happiness being dispelled, and their ar
dor in this direction for the time being
effectually cooled.
This morning the Superintendent CT
the Cordage Works appeared before
the Justice, but on the young " low
yers" evincing contrition, he declined
lodging complaint, and after a repri-
mand from the magistrate they were
permitted to go on their way, which
they did rejoicing. We haven't the reno
test idea, however, that they passed the
factory ON their way home, for we are
inclined to believe that in the future
these unfortunate and crest fallen rope
walk lovers will be apt to give this es-
tablishment wide berth.

New HosE.-Twenty lengths of new
hose, for the use of the fire department
arrived last evening, and will be distri-
buted by Chief Benjamin without de-
lay. 1t will be remembered that the
Chief labored to have 40 lengths pur-
chased, but owing to the depressed
condition of the fire appropriation, the
committee were unable to comply with
his recommendation, and consequently
ordered but 20 lengths, which, howev-
er, will prove acceptable to the firemen

nEa- We hope that the Councilmen
from the Third ward will use their in
fuence in having the triangular lot on
Elizabeth avenue, at South street, put
in some kind of order. A neat fence
enclosing the lot would be a vast i'm
provement for the neighborhood, and
we cannot see why the spot should not
be ornamented. The cost would be
trifling, and another attraction afforded
thereby. We cannot do too much in
the way of improvement.

SHAMEFUL taking q stroll
around town, recently, we came across
a man idling away his time and spend
ing his substance on drunken spree.
A short time afterward we saw his wife
hard at work over a strangers wash
tub, endeavoring to earn a support for
herself and little ones who were around
her. Shame on the man, who is thus
worse than the brutes.

DECORATING SOLDIERS GRAVES. The
30th day of May next has been desig-
mated for the repetition of the appro-
pirate and beautiful ceremony of deco
rating with flowers the graves of the
soldiers and sailors of the Union forces.
This Offering of floral tribute TO the
memory of our patriot dead, was inau-
gurated last year by the Grand Army
of the Republic, and the commander
of that organization-Gen. Logan
has appointed its anniversary, the Both
of May, as the day to be thus annually
observed. 1t is hoped that the COM
pliance with this arrangement will be
general throughout the country, and
that.wherever our soldiers lie buried
their mourning friends and grateful
countrymen will gather round their
graves, and decorate them with flags
and flowers in token of the feelings
with which their patriotic devotion and
sacrifices are remembered. We hope
that the arrangements made here for
this anniversary will be better than
they were last year. We want some-
body besides numb.schull for Mar
shal-no dead-beat, but person thor
oughly posted as to successive forma-
tons" The Both of May is Sunday,
but General Logan recommends that
Saturday or Monday be selected in
stead of the Sabbath. There are many
who will join in this decoration of the
graves if it occur on week day, who
will not thus use the Sabbath.
