the payment of the per diem and

ted.
In addition to the amount above
stated, there are numbers of certi.
ficates issued during the present
session yet unpaid, which, togeth
er with those drawn to pay to the
18th instant, will IN my opinion,
require a sum of at least two hun.
dred and fifty thousand ($25O,OOO)
dollars to meet.
Of the sum due for taxes for the
present fiscal year, about one.half
OF the amount has been collected,
while the time for payment, with,
out penalty, expired on January
18th.
[ would respectfully suggest
that some measure be adopted to
provide a revenue sufficient to
meet the above and other demands
on the treasurer.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

AN AWKWARD CoMPLIMENT.-The EN-
press Maria Louise had never been popular in
Paris, as Josephine was to the last, nor had
she the fine instincts which so especially dis
tinguished the first consort of Napoleon,
who was. indeed, his better angel. For exam
pie: one day Napoleon, having been provok-
ed by her father, the Emperor of Austria de-
clared to Marie Louise that he was !'an old
gdndche" (blockhead). Her Majesty asked
one of her ladies-in-waiting-as she said the
Emperor had called ber father by that name
the meaning of the word ganache, and the
lady not knowing what to say IN reference to
the empress's own father, answered that
it meant ga venerable old man, Marie
Louise believed this; and afterward, when
Cambaceres came to pay his respects to her,
she, wishing to be very complimentary to
him, said, " Sir, have always regarded you
as the chief ganaehe of France. ."-Editor's

EARLY HISTORY OF RA1LRoADs.-At the

EARLY HISTORY OF RALRoADs.-At the
fifth annual convention of the American So
ciety ofcivil engineers, j. ID. Steel, of Coats
Vile, Pa, read paper on early History of
Railroads and Origin of the Gauge" The pa
per was full of interest and elected the undi-
vided attention Of the members. The author
narrated the gradual progress of the rail from
the first wooden track to the perfect steel rail
of the present day. Steam was EMPLOYED first
in England, in 1914, in which year it was
proved that the adhesion of the wheels to the
rails was sufficient to move loaded tram
without the use of eogs or stationary engines,
In 1916, Stephenson applied the motion d.
reetly from the piston of the wheels, and few
years later train of thirty-eight wagons
loaded with freight and passengers was drawn
at the rate oftwelve miles per hour. In 1927,
the first road was built in the United
States-the Quincy ad, with gauge of
three feet. About the same time the Mauch
Chunk road was constructed, which was a
gravity railroad, extending distance of nine
miles. In 1928 the Baltimore and Ohio road
was commenced with gauge OF four and
half feet, and with outside fanges for the
wheels. In 1929 the Booklet, tubular en-
gine, was built in England for the London
and Manchester railroad, and about the same
time it was settled In England that there was
less friction in having the flanges ON the
outside OF the wheels. A great 0any exLeri-
ments were tried with gauges of varying
width, until at last, as a compromise, the
present gauge of four feet eight and a half
inches was adoped. In 1880 the first Ameri-
can engine was built by Peter Cooper, and
ran from Baltimore to Ellicott's Mills, carry
ing twenty-three passengers, at a rate of five
to eighteen miles an hour.

A GAMBLER's GAME BAUIKFD BY
CHILD.-A man nearly fifty years old, named
Alexander Deming, living on Labrosse street
and owning vacant lot in the sixth ward
worth Sl5OO, got on spree about a week
ago, and tell into the hands of two rascaIs
who deserve at least ducking One of them
is young man named Kidder, a maehinist.
and the other stranger in the CITY, but a
friend OF Kidder. When Deming started ont
he had about $50 with him, and his intention
was to purchase cow of man on Wood
ward avenue. He was met by Kidder, inyit-
ed to drink, and then the two sat down in a
saloon on Michigan avenue and began TO
gamble. So infatuated did Deming become
tnat ne did not return home but once in four
uays. hldoer won his money, watch, and
then TWO notes OF hand of SIS and S27 each.
When Deming had nothing more to nut mn
he gave his note of hand for twenty dollars
and lost that. This was Saturday noon. One
OF the men got blank deed, filled it out with
description OF Deming's real estate and then
hlled him up with liquor lent him one hun
dred dollars, and offered to play him for the
property, they to run the chances of the wife
signing. The man accepted the offer. and
before dark had Nst the money and the deed.
Then, while the stranger lent him money to
keep him playing, Kidder went to
Deming's house and presented the paner
for the wife to sign. She is not abIe to
read and, he told her that it was her hus-
bands life insurance policy, and that she
must sign it or she could never get the money
in case OF his death. She was about to SIGN
when one of her children read the words
warranty Deed" aloud, and she caught the
idea OF what the rascal was about She seiz-
ed chair, and in a moment sent the scoun-
drel out doors. Not content with this. she
follwed him two blocks, clubbing him at ey-
eryjump, and then got her neighbors to bring
her husband home. The two men started for
an officer to have Kidder arrested, when he
handed over the watch and agreed to refund
the money, but ran away Saturday night
without sodoing.-Detroit Free Press Oct. 15.
