/ ltA RehnSylyani paper says that the
passengers on one of the trains from
Buffalo to Brocton, last week, were treat
led tofa love scene ofiunususi character.
0ccupy ring one Of the seats was fair
young maiden from CORY and . gray
headed benevolent looking gentleman
from Chicago. She was la ndsome, and
not sboye twenty two. BE was on the
shady side eof sixty, with flowing white
hair and beard, and pleasant expires.
sion on his countenance BE had been
in her company trom Rechester, and dathe
few hours passed in her, soeiety,a had
again aWHyskened the dream OF love In his
old heart: It was evidentlysa case OF
love at first sight: on his part With
her, twas not. Butihe told bis tale: His
wife was long since dead; his children
had grown up, married and passed from
his home, He was alone in the world.
He had wealth at his command, but he.
longed for some companion to share it.
with him. This was spoken in . low
tone, but sufficiently loud to be heard
BY those in the seats near him. fsAtlast.
the important moment came. The old.
gentleman said: "Wlll you share, my
fortune with me; will you be my wifeal''.
Then spoke this noble oil maiden, s I
cannot. Your riches are nothing to me-
fl, loved you would accept; but that
I do not, and must therefore refuse your
offer" But the old man still pleaded,
He asked TO: be allowed; to accompany
her to Cory and see her parents. She
declined. His pleadings were continued
until the train arrived at -Brocton, when
she again refused: to let him accompany
her to CORY. His traino arrived and
they must part. He threw his arms
around her neck and kissed her fervent-
", unmindfnl of the gazing crowd. Then
upon the platform of the car he took off
his hat, and with his white hair and
beard streaming in the breeze, and tears
running down his cheeks, this aged low
.er blessed the fsir maiden, aud swore to
see her again. 4a -.l4 se ils 'tt

An important decision was rendered yester-
day morning by Judge B1oDaE7r on the ques-
tion of the right Of the City of Chicago to
levy tar on vessels as personal property.
The chief objections were that the Court
had no jurisdiction; that the tax
was duty Of tonnage, and against
the provisions Of the Constitution Of the
United States; and that the tax should have
been against person and not thing. The
Judge reviews all the points at length, and
disposes of them, holding that the
owner of a vessel, being required to
List his personal property of every
kind, and failing to do so, cannot
take advantage OF his own wrong and
escape taxation by his neglect of duty. The
question is entirely new and very important,
both to vessel-owners and to the city, which
has been so often deprived Of portions Of its
revenue through bungling and unconstitu-
tional statutes, that it can lily afford to lose
more.

A great many respectable people were dis
posed to excuse Mr. HEs1NG's ungentlemanly
behavior at the Farwen Hall meeting, on the
score that the resolutions, which reflected
somewhat severely upon him on the eveof the
election, in the excitement Of the moment
provoked his ill-temper, while, had he had
time for reflection, he would not have so out
rngeously violated all the proprieties. But
since his performance Of yesterday, no such
charitable allowances can be made for him.
The occasion being the Inauguration of
the 1ake-shore drive, to celebrate which
q large number Of gentlemen, including prom
inent members Of each of the political parties,
were gathered together, MI. HEs1sG was
called upon to respond to toast. Instead
Of rejoining in an appropriately pleasant vein,
he embarked in a savage diatribe against
those who voted against him at the 1ate cleo
ton. and had the indecency to single ont for
violent attack one of the gentlemen present
Hereafter Mr.. HEsNo cannot complain if he be
set down for what he proves himse1f-a bum
mer; and the most that can be said in ex-
tenuation Of his public exhibitions Of himself
in that character is that he can't help it, for
it is his nature to be so.

Since the election certain Of our morning
contemporaries have SO industriously labored
to impress upon the public that the result
was to be reversed BY the Board Of Canvass
ers as to excite suspicion that the object was
to frighten people into acquiescence in the
counEng-in' of Mr. HEs1So. Interviews had
with Justices HANEs and HAMs111L (who
with County Clerk LHB will constitute the
Board), published in this issue of TIE Tn1B-
USE, show that such arprehensions are un-
founded. They each state TINT, in pursuance
Of their duty as defined by statute, they have
not changed their opinion of the power Of
the Board since last year, when they held it
could not throw out precincts, but was simply
there to foot up the returns, which is all
that has ever been done by the Board Of
Canvassers. They do not claim, nor will they
attempt to exercise, the right of rejecting the
vote OF any precinct. That question. it will
be remembered, was raised in the FARwE1l-
LIZ MoyHE contest as to one Of the precincts
Of the Eighteenth Ward and one Of the
Evanston precincts year ago. The opinion
of the Hon LEONARD SWEET was then taken
upon it, and he pronounced any such action
on the part Of the Board as clearly nlegn1.
This opinion has never been dissented from
by any reputable authority, and will he &C.
cepted by the majority Of the Board as to the
canvass Of the returns Of Tuesdays election

One of the ac4s incu1abent upon the pres
ent City Council Of Chicago is the reappor-
tionnent Of the city, under the new charter,
into wards. The whole number Of Alder
men to which the city will be entitled is thir-
ty-si1, and two :are to be elected in each ward,
thereby necessitating the reduction Of the
number Of wm:ds to eighteen. The charter
provides that in the formation of wards 81 the
population Of tach shall be as nearly equal
and the ward shall be Of as compact and
contiguous ter ritory as practicable" In a
large city whe re the resident districts are
constantly changing, it is not practicable 10
divide wards by population and have the
equality continue very long. The original di-
vision Of the city was into six wards, three Of
which were il. the South Division, two in the
North. and one in the West AS late as 1867
the city contained only nine wards, four of
which were in the South, three in the North,
end two in the West. In 1857, the Tenth
Ward was Great ed in the West Division, be-
ing all the territory south Of Harrison street,
giving the West Side three wards. Later,
the city was divided into sixteen wards, and,
later still, intr, twenty wards. These divisions
were all made by the Legislature, and as O
general thing were shaped for political pur-
poses, and not with sole reference to equality
of population
The preseu t apportionment gives the South
Town six wards, the West Town nine wards,
and the North Town five wards. The recent
comparatively '?ull vote may be accepted as
very fairly indi eating the present population
OF the several existing wards. The vote by
wards, compared with the vote Of 1873, will
show the tendency Of the increase OF popu-
lation. The following is the comparative
rota nf 1874 an 4 1879 hu wards.

one determined effort, their ar.1or cools. and
they drop back into their customary inditler-
ence Tie constituents Of the Bosses, how
ever, never tire. They array themselves on
the side that promises license to the saloon
classes, to the gamblers, and t. the danger
ous and vicious classes generally, because
there are certain interests in common, and
they will vote early and often, and work hard
and late, for any Boss or Ring from whom
they expect free and easy disbursement Of
the public moneys. Notwithstanding the
exceptionally great effort made in Chicago
last Tuesday, the Ring ticket counted in tn 0
of their candidates in the very teeth Of the
people.
What is the remedy? The Nation sug-
gests two, one Of which it comedies to be
impracticable for the present, and the other
we fear to be equally SO. TIE first is, that
the municipality shall be converted into q
business instead Of political corporation,
and the administration of its business left to
the men who pay the taxes; in other words,
that property qualification be required for
all voters in municipal elections. Without
stopping to discuss the benefits and disad-
vantages Of such plan, it is sufficient to re-
member that such a condition could OILY be
instituted primarily by means Of q popular
vote, which simply places it out of the ques-
ton. The other suggestion is such simp1i6-
cation Of governmental machinery that it
may be run without professional qualif-
cations, and without necessitsting an aban-
donment of private affairs by those
who consent to serve in public capacity.
Such scheme means concentration of power
and responsibility; and, concerning the
practcabiiity Of securing it, we need only
refer to our charter election last spring,
when the mob carried the day by stuhing the
ballot-boxes, and thereby defeated an honest
and intelligent effort made in the very
direction the Nation suggests In view of
this experience, the outlook is anything but
encouraging, and "Boss Government is a
standing menace in every large city in the
United States. The only effort that can be
made for the present is to speak publicly the
sentiments which are uttered so commonly in
private, and to unite the industrious and in
telligent classes by refusing to pander to the
disreputable and thoughtles classes who are
responsible for our city - Bosses"

4 GIANT IN TROUBLE.

The Cardiff Giant is redivivus. After theeyp-
sum gentleman left the workshop in the North
Division Of this city, where he was fabricated
as common rumor has it, by cunning Ger
man, he had surprising series Of adventures.
he turned up among the savans, and they
discussed his age and antecedents in most
learned manner. The archmologists handled
him with curious scrutiny, aud wove many
yarns concerning him, where he lived, moved,
and had his being in the good old primeval
times, when there we're giants in those
days." and the megatherium and mastodon,
ichthyosaurus and plesiosaurus, had but just
passed away. The giant travelled from city
to city and received ovations1i like conqucror,
which he took in stony silence. Poets
wrote odes to him. Philosophers rev.
eled in scientific probabilities. Women and
children nocked to sec him. The newspaper
men wrote most learned treatiscs concerning
him and his times. Sometimes be travelled
with circuses, sometimes he turned up in
halls of science. A few times he barely es-
capped the pressing attentions Of the Sherifs
in various counties where he Was temporarily
stopping. Atlast be disappeared from public
view. Whether he Ind gone bnck to his
native swamp to lie awhile longer and acquire
o better appearance Of antiquity, or whether
some ruthless iconoclast had hammered him
to pieces, was for long time uncertain.
When last heard from, he IVES Phmnician
god and now he turns up in the Boston
courts as the friend of the plaintiff in an
o4.1 t4,a1 ~
It appears that the owner Of the Phmnician
god Ind made IN arrangement to sell an un-
divided interest in him to dentist in that
city, when there suddenly appeared in the
Herald IN article making fun Of the Phmni-
clan deity and broadly insinuating that he
never SAW Phmnicia that be WAS neither
god nor giant, but an unadulterated hum
bug. Thereupon the dentist refused to con-
summate the negotiations, and the original
owner brought suit for 1000 in currency
as compensation for the injured feelings Of
himself and the giant The jury heard
the evidence, retired, and ten minutes after
ward brought In verdict for the defendant
What the giant will now do, or where he Will
next turn up, is alike uncertain, but the last
thing he should do in future is to try to get
$50, 900 out Of newspaper. It is unbecom-
ing q Phnncian god from North Chicago.
Even if he be 6. stony-hearted and adaman-
Unchecked giant, he should be honest The
newspapers heve made him what he is and
set him up in business, and, had it not been
for them, he might still have been soaking in
the swamp where he obtained his antiquity
and attributes Of Phanician divinity. Go on
with your travels, JoHN CAnDHF, but don't
try to pick up the newspapers they know
you too we'll.

It will be seen That the spportioament Of
nine wards to the West, Ave wards to tho
South, and four wards to the North, is almost
exactly according to the population es repre-
sented by the votes last Tuesday of the re-
spective divisions. This knpli6es matters
very much. It leaves the Council nothing
to do but to drop one ward in the South
Town and one ward in the North Town.
This change in the South Town can bo
readily accomplished by uniting the present
First and Second Wards. Their territory is
contiguous, and their joint population is just
equal to ratio. Their union will in no wise
