himself from the grasp OF the officers who had
him IN charge ana running at rapid
pace through the streets. He was closely followed
by the policemen, and did not succumb until three
shots from revolver warned him OF the danger he
was exposing himself to. One OF the shots took
effect In the upper part Of his leg causing a slight
wound. large crowd participated in the pursuit,
and but Tor the presence OF the police officers the
fugitive would have met with rough handling at
the hands Of the in1uriated pursuers. In

one charged with that crime is hailed with delight
by the citizens OF that city. The accused man was

We translate the following from o Danish
paper
The Order OF the 'Tnternationales Z" which some
time ago had gained slight foothold In Denmark,
but gradually seemed to lose its influence has now
come to abrupt end The authorities have Or
dered the society in Denmark to be dissolved, and
two Of it's officers have by the Supreme Court been
sentenced to three years. labor in the State
Prison, and the President to five years. The
severity OF this sentence Is based upon the 90
ciety's alleged intention OF Overthrowing the
present order OF things. but the movement was
rather unimportant and without any consequences
the sentence seems unnecessarily severe. The
condemned solicited the King Tor pardon. which,
however, was declined.

presented document which caused q sensation.
When the clerk unfoIded the paper and commenced
to read the most solemn silence reigned. 1t set
forth that the Finance Committee had ascertained
Of the Receiver Of Taxes, and on that they, the
oath day of July, and during the month
o. August had made partial nI nvestlEa
Baker, and had discovered deficit IN the cash
account Of Jonn A. Broadwel, Receiver OF Taxes,
of 81 200. This amount the said Broadwell, they
state, applied to his own private account and to
his own uses. The Irregularities thus far ascer-
tanned are from April 20 to May ~, less than q
month. In view Of this detalcatlon the committee
presented the following resolutions, which were
adopted
Resolved, That John Ceayer be appointed Receiver Of
Taxes in the place of John w. Broadwel.
Resolved, That the Finance Committee arc hereby
authorized and empowered to employ one or more CON-
petent to examine into the books and
counts OF the Office of the Receiver Of Taxes and such
nth Or daDa

On the passage Of the resolutions Alderman
Stainsbv, the leading light OF the local republican
politicians, arose and delivered speech counting
investigation into his official conduct. The money
taken from the city funds by the receiver, 1t Is
said, had been made good.
Among prominent citizens there Is
MUCH FEELING

Among the otner business transacted was the
presentation Of petition from citizens asking Tor

man. The name OF this aspiring individual Is
Alexander Hagg. Last year he was constable.

A House. OF Qua Owy.-Next to being
married to the right person, there is nothing
so important in ones life as to live under
one roof. There is something more than a
poetical charm in the expression of the
wife:
ave have our cosy house; it is thrice
dear to us because it is our own. We have
bought it with the savings OF our earnings.
Many were the soda water fountains, the
confectionery saloons, the necessities OF the
market we had to pass many a time my
noble husband denied himself the comfort
of tobacco, wore his old clothes and patched
his boot and /, o me ! made my old bon
net do, wore the plai7est clothes, did the
plainest cooking-saving was the order OF
the hour, and to have a home of our own
had been our united aim. Now we have it /:
there is no landlord troubling US with rails
ing the rent. and exacting this and that
There is no fear harbored in our bosom that
in sickness or old age we will be thrown out
of house and home, and the money we have
saved to pay rent is sufficient to keep us in
comfort in the winter days of life.".
What lesson do the above words teach.
and how well it would be if hundreds of
families would heed them, and instead of
living in rented houses, which take a large
share of their capital to furnish, and a quar-
ter Of their earnings to pay the rent, dress
and eat accordingly. would braveIy curtail
expenses and concentrate their efforts on
having "a home OF their own" Better a
cottage of their own than q rented palace.
