The members of the sanitary police
force have not drawn anything in six
months. They cannot afford to take
scrip that sells for thirty-6ve cents on the
dollar. We hope the Mayor will make
seine provision to pay them something
before Christmas in money. They like
turkey as we'll as the rest of us, but can
not buy with empty purses.

IT has been the custom of the Astor
family, for three generations, to deposit
500, 900 in the bank at the birth Of a
son or daughter, the money and interest
to be given to the child when twenty.one
years of age. This is an excellent Gus
tom and one which we earnestly com
mend to every head of a family. When
a young man or young woman comes Of
age what more pleasant and useful sur
prise could a fond parent have provided
than such a snug little SUN, more than
doubled by interest. A child that would
come back in less than a year and ask
for more, like Oliver Twist, could not be
trusted with the balance coming TO him
all at once. Such an experiment would
test the financial ability of each boy in
the family as he came Of age, and thus
the old man would learn which one to
set up in business and how many to
place at the head Of first class daily
newspapers.

Section IA of the -chsrter provides that

all right; if not, the President should
correct his notice. Some of the people

PROTECTION HOSE BALL.-The bail Of
Protection Hose took place last evening.
at Browns Hall. We took occasion to
visit them for a short time early in the
evening, and found large number of
ladies' and gentlemen assembled, enjoy
ing themselves ir the various dances.
The hall had been very tastefully deco
rated in the DAYTIME by the committee
appointed for that purpose, and at night
when it was lighted up and crowded
with the members of the company in
uniform and numbers of well dressed
ladies and gentlemen, It's appearance was
worth the cost of the ticket to observe IT..
Prote ction Hose Company deserve credit
for the good style in which the bail was
managed, every visitor being made well
come and made to feel at home, 50 that
they, one and all. enjoyed themselves.
Cougr-HousE.- At the Court house
Yesterday auietness reigned supreme, as

the Phoebe West Ex NJ. Co against the
Raymond * Ely s M. Co. to forward TO
the United States Circuit Court for the
State of Nevada. In the other Offices
aft .irs seemed to ba very quiet and the
officers taking their ease for want of
work to do.
A correspondent sends US few very
pretty lines with request that We pub
