No, sir. The average officer don't often
act the part of the Good Samaritan, at
least not in exercising his muscles to
that degree. Besides he objects on
principle. He thinks it undignifed.
And then it is attended with great
deal OF inconvenience. You can't pur-
suade drunken man to lie quietly,
when his head bumps the tagging
every five steps. He is as uneasy as a
young eel deposited in salt box, after
having just been persuaded to see how
the land was adapted to his constitu-
ton. There is only one thing that will
induce an officer to resign. Ask him to
propel sinner on a wheelbarrow, and
he will perform the disagreeable duty
of leaving the public service forthwith.

The taxpayers of Elizabeth have had
their noses held to the grindstone, if
we may be allowed the expression, for a
long time. In other words, our assess
ments are very heavy. Many families are
in danger OF losing their pleasant homes
because their taxes are unpaid. Some
of the nice little dwellings on every hand
are encnmbered, and holders of mortga-
ges threaten to foreclose. 1t is evident
to rejecting men that the great middle
class Of society--its bone and sinew-
will not be able to accumulate the mo-
ney to pay their Indebtedness for some
time to come. These people are deci-
dedly in earnest in their demand for
lower taxes. Especially do they insist
that the number of municipal officers
must be lessened, and the salaries OF
the remainder greatly reduced. No city
officer should receive over one thousand

turn. There are hundreds of thoroughly
competent and responsible men, who
will faithfully serve the city for five hun
bred dollars year each. They are quite
as competent and worthy as officials who
are paid double and treble the salaries
that they can command elsewhere. 1t
will be no fault of the writer's if our
overburdened taxpayers fail to have
their assessments greatly lightened. Let
all who are interested in the prosperity
of our beautiful city investigate the rea-
sons why the public credit suffers, and
our taxes are so unnecessarily high.

WHILE passing along William street,
yesterday afternoon, the writer's atten-
ton was attracted by light puffs OF
smoke from second story window, the
sash OF which was raised. To cross the
street, the mud of which was of an I'M
known depth, and seek an interview with
some of the occupants of the threatene
dwelling, occupied about five seconds.

uished, but that a child some twenty
months of age, daughter OF Mr.. Nit
cbell, had been terribly burned. A
message was at once sent for physi.
elan. Rarely have We seen energy more
wisely directed. Instead OF raising an
alarm, one lady was engaged in wetting
some clothes which had taken fire,
while two or three others were minister
ing to the little sufferer The origin of
the fire is unknown. The mother had
been absent from the apartment but a
few moments, but in that brief time the
ehild's clothing was quite consumed.
From traces around the room, it is ev;-
dent that the distracted little one had
been rapid in its motions, thus tanning
the flames which were swiftly endanger-
ing its life. Death relieved it of its
agonies at an early hour.

WRITER has put in an early appear
ance. If the reader raises the objection
that, according to the almanac, winter
is week distant, we ooncede the point.
But if the snow which adorns the land
scape is any evidence that the melan-
choly days have come, then our propo-
sition is correct winter is upon us. The
fact that the snow remains is conclusive
that the weather is very cold. The first
great storm of the season has painfully
remined multitudes that dreary days
will add seriously to their hardships.

AMONG the thousands who wear alpaca
cloth, very few know what it is made of.
The alpaca goat is species of the llama,
whose home is in the mountain regions
Of Peru. 1t lives on the coarsest fare,
the scanty heritage OF the rocks, and has
beautiful wavy coat of light chestnut
brown wool, which is nearly foot long,
very soft and elastic, and nearly as fine
