bion Of splitting hairs, bat wished TO hear the
Till discussed. He called upon the chairman
of the Finance Committee to explain why
the money should be taken from the Treas
ury when the act provided that a poll-tax
should be levied to carry out it's provisions.
Mr.. Shoemaker replied that no election can
be held unless the act is recognized, and II
no appropriation Is made no election takes
place. Although he did not endorse the ac-
tion of the Legislature altogether, he did not
believe that the members thereof intended
to ignore the votes of the public.
Mr.. Hetzell said his question had not been
answered.
Mr.. Shoemaker replied that the bill would
have to be accepted as q whole; one point
joint could not be arranged against the other.
Mr.. Dillon claimed that the act was unjust,
and that the intention of its passage was 10
distrauchise hundreds of Democratic voters.
Mr.. Hetzell thought Councils ought not to
pass the bill, as the constitutionality of the
act is to be tested in higher court, and no
legislation should take place until decision
was obtained.
After some furter remarks, the yeas and
nays were called, resulting yeas 81, nays 10;

A girl, young, pretty, but above all, gift
ed with an air of adorable candor, lately
presented herself before certain Partisan
lawyer.
Monsieur, come to consult you upon
grave affair. want to oblige a man love,
to marry me in spite of himself How shall

The gentleman of the baYhad ofc course, a
sufficiently elastic conscience. He reflected
q moment, then being sure that no third
person overhead him, replied unhesitating-
ly. 'Mademoisellc, according to our law
you always possess tie means of forcing a
man to marry you You must remain on
three occasions alone with him, then you
can go before ajudge and swear that he is

counsel in the management ofthis affair
Good day. s. yr..lrj 'etsi .7saf
A few days afterwards the young girl re-
turned. She is mysteriously received by
the lawyer, who scarcely giving her time to
seat herself questions her with the most
lively curiosity. aod 2 ia5

A fortnight afterwards the young person
more naice and candid than ever, knocked
at the door of her counsel's room. No
sooner was she within than she flung herself
into chair, saying that she had mounted
the steps too rapidly, and emotion made
her breathless. Her counsel endeavored to
re-assure her, and made her inhale salts,
and even proposed to release her garments.

A NOVEL WAY TO QUIET FESTIVE
HoasEs.-A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette describes o simple and efficacious
method of keeping horses quiet in boats,
which was commonly employed during the
last war in China. s'rhere," he says, "we
had numbers of horses to land and tn en-
bark at different times. They were almost
all Arabs, and not sweet-tempered. We
packed them closely along both sides of
large horse-boats, with their heads out
wards, and their riders sitting on the gun
vale, holding them up. If one horse began
to, kick, they soon all joined in what the
sailors called "a regular oh-be,joyful,' and
matters became serious. Jack, however,
with extraordinary aptitude for managing
animals, soon discovered remedy. A
bucket of water was always kept ready,
and dashed upon the root of the tail Of
every horse who looked the least like mis-
chief OF course, down went the tail, and
peace was preserved. The application was
repeated whenever necessary, and don't
think any accidents ever happened"

with the interest that has been accumula-
ted since, near $4,000, it is probable that
operations will be renewed on the wreck
during the ensuing summer, and on q
scale which is likely to be eminently sue
cessful. The plan we understand, will be
to construct large iron caissons, similar to
those used for constructing the foundations
ofthe piers of the new Blackfriars Bridge,
and sink them into the sands, completely en-
comprising the wreck. These fairly sunk,
engineers of eminence declare there is no
