Nevertheless they aoere all paid, and May

afraid TO let them appear in the official

Who Garbled The Accounts.

From the New York Times % August
There are, however, some very striking
peculiarities-we choose that word be-
cause it is mild and inofensive one-in
the accounts as sent in to the Board of Su-
pervisors. The warrants we publish APP
pear in those accounts, with few eXcep-
tions-the most important of which are
the warrants paid to the persons who have
no eXistence-J. y. Smith, j. r. Hennes-
sy, and T. c. eastman. The Mayor and
the Controller, knowing that we have am
pie means of proving the correctness of
our copies from the Controllers books, did
not dare to suppress all the figures-but
on the other hand, they could not summon
up courage enough to publish the war
rants which We're drawn in favor of the
dummies. Nevertheless, we repeat that
these warrants were actually drawn and
the money paid thereupon-and the fol-

A REPREHENsIBLE HABIT.-There is
no breach of that etiquette which should be
observed in public places so Teprehensible
as that of a gentleman leaving ladies sit
ting alone. 1t is not only matter of ETH
quette, but of the attention and protection
due lady under the charge Of gentle
man. How often do we observe at the
opera and the theatre from fifty to hun
dred vacant chairs between acts, represent
ing this apprehensibls practice? Gentle
spectful act toward ladies, and ladies should
not tolerate it.-OAce a Week.

BURLINGTON,

Leaving the East and arriving Of
Chicago or Indianapolis, how shall we
resch the West? The best Line is ac-
knowledged to be the c., B 80 joined
together with the B. & NJ. Railroad by
the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the Burlington Route,
The Main line of the Route running
to Omaha, connects with the great Pa
cilic Roads, and forms to-day the lead
ing rou,e to California. Tho Middle
Branch, entering Nebraska at Platts-
mouth, passes through Lincoln, the
State Capital, and will this year be
finished to Fort Kearney, forming the
shortest route across the Continent by
over 100 miles.
Another branch of the 3. NJ, d.
verging at Red Oak, falls into a line
running down the Missouri through st
Joe to Kansas City, and all Kansas.
Passengers by this route to Kansas,
see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Mis-
souri,, aud, by slight divergence, can
see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should renem-
Der the Burlington Route, for its towns
"high. cleaning from afar"--its tree
tringed streans-its rough bluffs aud
quarries-its corn-oceans stretching
over the praries further than the eye
can reach.
Laud-buycrs will be sure 20 remem-
Der it, for they have friends among the
two thousand who have already bought
farms from Geo. S. Harris, the Land
Commissioner of the b. & NJ. r. r. at
Burlington, Iowa, or among the four
thousand home -steadars and pre-emptors
who last year fled claims in the Lincoln
land Office, where "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to give US all farm"

RowDYIsM-rhere seems to be a
growing tendency of some of the young
men in Ridgway to rowdyism. And
one of the nuisauces to be classified un-
der this head is the "heathen" practice
Of serrenaliug newly-married couples.
Upon such occasions a crowd OF boys sand,
We are sorry to note, some who call
themselves men, assemble and with old
tiu-pans, cow-bells, and horns, proceed
TO the residence of the newly-married,
and give "serrenade," the purpose of
which is to have the bridegroom intro
duce all hands to the bride and then
"treat" the crowd, and if this require
ment is not complied with, the "horning"
is kept up, often for two or three hours.
Now, can men or boys who engage in
this nefaIious business expect to be
counted as anything but roughs! aud
Would rot common decency suggest
dlsroptuuance Of this pra ctire!
