BSr There was great merit in the ex-
PLANTATION Of the gentlemanly person
who was found going from a neighbors
hen-roost with plump rooster in his
hat. "Golly," said he, "that's queer
how d'you spose he got there? Must
have crawled up my trowsers leg?" The
New York Tribune says it's little re-
markable though that this theory has
not suggested itself to some of the gen
tlemen lately found with Credit Mobi-
lier stock on their hands. 1t might
have crawled up their trowsers legs
and no doubt did. That's easy now
why not say so!

known. About 200 families are lett
homeless.

Ha ADVANCE POSTAGE ON NEwsPA-
rERs.-Congress proposes to make pub
fishers pay postage in advance on
Newspapers sent from their offices, and
also on their exchanges. With all our
heart we endorse the proposition. 1t
would doubtless prove somewhat incon-
venient, but, in the end, would work to
the benefit of publishers. In the first
place it would compel them to adopt
very generally the advance pay system,
and that is just what is wanted to make
the business even tolerable. Publishers
would not and could not afford to pay
the postage to doubtful cases for score
or more years as is now too often done.

Tho Committee appointed ut a previous meot-
ing to seo about the adviBabilty of making ar-
rangements with certain debtors and of disuos-
ing Of real estate owned by tho Company, rc-
ported Hart L. Stewart, In consideration Of n
receipt in full, proposed to turn over 500
lots, probably worth about 100000. The
Committee believed it wiso to accent
that proposition. Ho had Just learned.
however, that tho proposition had been With
drawn, and the stowarts proposed to fight it out
in tho court. Propositions made by other mr.
Sous had alao been withdrawn. Another indi-
Vluual offered to turn over q couple of hundred
acres OF land, south Of the city, with incu,n-
6rancos Of about s53, 400. It was believed tho
iand coula ~ 20 sold 10 as to secure to the crcdi-
torn ~, 600 on debt Of about $40. .000 So fur

against tho Company were trying to run tic
