pearea dIsconsolate, were scattered in the vast
space allotted to them. 1t was CHEEKY Within
however, compared to the outlook beyond the
circular walls. Snow and ice were piled upon che
paths, snow clouds were in the winter sky. The
report OF last year was presented TO the Commas
soners for their action but it Is not ready for the
press. Blu. the main iacts OF the decrease OF Inn.

and. as already pointed out, they AFFORD food for

tween the parties, ana that it was all mistake.
Mr.. Compton, the defendant was first sworn

sized, good looking man Of iorty.two. and Is now
married To his second WIFE, He swore he knew
Grace i've Or SIX years, nut was never more at
tentve to her tnan to other members OF the
family and mat he called her parents 'iatnel,n
aud ''mother" because they were so parent like"
to him; so KIND and good TO MN. He admitted
taking Grace out riding but ut ner mothers re.
evenings but could not recoIect dropping asleep
OH ner shoulder lie put his arm on the back OF the
sofa but never around her waist; never caressed
her by embracing her; never made a speciality
OF Kissing her. but kissed all the ladies' alike;
was received ana treated as q member OF the
family, but was equally attentive to other ladies'
On MS Cross examination letter OF his to Grace
was read. In IL he requested Grace to give ner
mother and sister, Tor him, zone OF those oo-
fashioned kisses, right smack In the mouth,n ana
ne would feel the inspiration OF the concussion

Dr. Thomas Bradned, a dentlst, testified that
MISS Piummef visited him TO nave her teeth fixed;
compton sent her and requested witness to pay
particular attention to her as she was OF very
fine family. Upon beng recalled the plaintiff
sWOre that she told the doctor that Compton often

CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST COMMISSIONER VAN
MORT.
Thomas w. eager, who had some trouble last
summer with Commissioner Van Mort, who re-
fused To give him tne privilege sprinkling Grand
street, from the Bowery 10 East River. or to use
the Croton water for that purpose yesterday pre-
felred charges to the Mayor against the ConinIs-
sioner. He states In his charges that Mr.. Van
Mort refused TO allow him to use the Croton alter
he had rendered him the usual license money, and
granted per NIT Tor the district 10 David john
son; that he caused his arrest and that
OF his driver mallciously; that he know.
ingly permitted James X. Biglin, an en-
plOye OF the department., to be interested
In the sprnkiing business with Johnson, contrary
to law; that he refused to obey the resolution Of
the Common Council requiring him to give eager
permit; that ne assisted one OsgOod an auc-
tOneer, to make Alanson See share his sprnking
privilege with him, and that ne did the same thing
In regard to one Mcguire.
To these charges are appended here ard there
the "belief" Of eager that the commissioner was
actua:ed by @ desire OF pecuniary gam. The
charges attract but little attention among the
politicians, In view OF the fact that the author md
the Commissioner have been ngnting one another
In 0nG out OF court ever since eager was. refused
the permit he hrst sought Tor. However the MAYOR
VIII give them serious consideration.

A Japanese Ghost.

The Herald printed at Yoko-
bama, Japan, tells this ludicrous
story: LAD Osaka man offeredsa
prize 20 any one who who d.ink
one shO -one quart, one pint, one
half gill-of a certain native liquor
about rs strong as spirits of wine.
A cool'a performed the feat, but
died The same day from the effects
Oft. They buried him IN shall
low grave, and about midnight
the next day the earth absorbed
the liquor from his well soaked
body, and he awoke up from his
debanch. Pushing off the light
soil that covered him, he rose from
his grave in a white shroud and
Startled some robbers near by who
were counting and dividing their
money. They took the strange
apparition for a ghost and ran off
i'm dismay. The coolie picked ap
the cash and reported 10 his wife
the sane night--a sadder but rich
err man than before his spree.
Having succeeded SO well in this
adventure, he took the part OF .
ghost 10 The Osaka Theater, but
got a good thrashing from a spec
tator who did not approve OF such
ghostly performances, from which
the ghost nearly died."

Tweed.s Faithful Wife.

They were married when the man
Was ehairmaker, and they might have
had happy career bad the former re-
NAMED honest. They lived in plain
manner, mingled with mechanics So
ciety, and were the parents Of two boys
and two girls, good-iooking and healthy
children. The era OF meretricious
splendor has come and gone like dream
The girls are married. Each had a
diamond wedding and each has sunk
into sbscurity and poverty. The two
sons once held fine appointments in the
service Of the ring, but they are now
only longing around City Hall. The
mother is in widows desolation. The
i'll gotten wealth is almost all gone. A
million and half has passed into the
haads OF her lawyers, and her husband
is still prisoner. A seedy and corpu-
Lent old man, inhabiting pair of rooms
in Ludlow street jail, is all that is loft OF
enc who has been Alderman, Congress-
man, chairmaker and lawyer, commits
sioner Of parks, public buildings i'd
docks, State Senator, and for several
years the autocrat of the city. The
only redeeming feature is the faithful
wife. who is reducing herself to poverty
in hope of obtaining her husbands re-
lease.

The witchcry Of Manner.

Almost every man can cite scores OF
cases, within his knowledge, whore
pleasing manners have made the for
tunes OF lawyers, doctors, divines, mer-
chants, and, In short, men in every
walk Of life. Raleigh flung down his
laced coat in the mud for Elizabeth TO
walk on, and got for his reward proud
Queens favor. The politician who has
this advantage easily distances all rival
candidates for every voter he speaks
with becomes his friends. The tones
in which he askes for pinch of SNUFF
are sften moro potent than the logic OF
a Webster or Clay. Polished manners
have often made scoundrels successful,
while the best Of men, by their hard
ness and GOODNESS, have done themselves
incalculable injury the shell being so
rough that the world could not believe
there was precious kernel within.
Cvility is to man what beauty h to
a woman. It captivates people isstanter,
while the opposite quality excites as
quick prejudice against him. 1t is
real ornament, worth more as means
Of winning favor than the finest jewels
ever worn. The gruffest man loves to
be appreciated, and it is often the sweet
smile of woman, which we think in
tended for US alone, that bewitchss our
heart, and lays us at the feet Of her
whom We afterwards marry.

The Husking Season.

Corn husking time now comes
on apace. But corn husking Is
not what IL used to be. There was
a time, a few years back in history,
when this season brought with it
delights which were by no means
to be despised. The busking bee
OF yore was an occasion That
swelled the youthful hearts of a
whole ne,ghborhood, and culmi-
mated in a gratifying array OF
matrimonial alliances Ia. had a
very beneficial effect upon The per-
'quitiies OF country ministers and
the'census reports.
The healthy hila-ity of the
husking season went out whe1
the country girl became oDes OF
ne lost arls- when fashion Taboo
ed romping.
The Youngest son of the family
was a messenger of JOY and glad
tidings In the days when he rode
bareback up TO neighbours door
and delivered the Invitation with :
"S-a-a-y, our folks is goin' 10
hev a huskin'to-morror, and wants
all you uns TO cum over. The gals
III have the quilt in right arier
dinner"
That was enough. 1t wasn't a
satin card, commencing with,
"The compliments OF Mr.. and
Mrs. JONES'" and ending with a
lie, but II was an invitation that
came from the heart, and was ac-
cepted with an
"All right, Bobby, VEL be
there"
Then def and pretty hands re-
warded the welcome messenger
with slices OF toothsome mince
pie, behind which his honest, sun
Drowned face looked like a partial
eclipse of the moon,
