many resolutions authorizing street openings had
been passed by the Aldermen since January ,
1875, and whether the property owners had petl'

A LITTLE TALK
The CoMPrROLLER remarked, when the docu-

his resolution; that what he wanted was the esti-
mates. tue contemplated costs, 20 to speak, OF the

the '.improvementn resolutions passed by the

Mr. LEwIs-Not petitoned for in writing. The
supposItion is when an Alderman introduces an
ordinance or q resolution authorizing street
opening, &C., that the taxpayers In his district
have asked for 1t.

The CoMPrRoLLER-If the Mayor were thoroughly
acquainted with the duties OF the Comptroller he
would easily understand how lmpracticabe 1t Is
for the Comptroller to attend the tings or the

that he should be advised as to what his duties

The other day Detroit mother poured
some ink on the pantry shelf, near the
sugar box, and went up stairs, leaving her
small son playing with the cat. When she
came down the boy sat by the window
wearing placid, innoceat look, but there
were ink stains on his fingers ''There |!
you've been at the sugar ~ she exclaimed
as she seized him by the collar ''Mother,
do you think I'd steal sugar?'' "What
made EN- p "Ihose stains, mother ?''
YES, those stains" ''Well, / cannot tell

menced to mortify." She wasn't quite
sure, and he was allowed to go out and

few day since. A large rat attacked her
brood, with the intention of making a good
ly meal, but the mother warned the little
ones of their danger and they fed, she le-
manning to give battle to the intruder, and
she consequently made the attack immedi-
ately. Her method of campaign consisted
in confusing and binding the rat with her
wings, at the same time fiercely pecking
him on the head. In vain the rat tried to
seize her, but finally fell stunned to the
ground, too disabled to go on with the con-
test.

THERE were three of them-a man and
two women. They saw the sign, ''Arctic

they went in and the man said they'd take
about three drinks.
''What syrup?" asked the confectioner.
The mans wife, who was one of the two
women, turned her husband around so that
his back was to the fountain, and then said
''Now, William, if you want lemon and

HOW WOMEN ORGANIZE.

1t is sad thing to see ten or twelve wo-
men get together and attempt to organize
''society to aid the deserving poor" They
tried it in Ninth avenue (which we presume
is in Detroit) the other afternoon. after
having talked up the matter for three or
four weeks. Thirteen or fourteen of them
met by appointment, and after some skir-
mishing one of the number called the meet
ing to order and said that the first duty
would be to elect president.
A sharp-faced woman got ZIP and said
that she didn't want the position, but if if
was the wish of the meeting that she should
take it, why she would. There was a
painful pause, and a fat woman arose and
said that she had had considerable expert
ence with such societies, and that she
could render great personal aid if made
president. There was another painful
pause, and little woman rose up and
squeaked, 81 move to lay the subject ON the
table -
The other women looked at her i'm
freezing way, and it was suggested that
ballot be taken. All readily agreed to this,
and ballots were prepared and bonnet
passed around. When the votes were
counted it was found that each woman had
put in at least one for herself, and three of
them had put in two or three. The presi-
dent pro tenn. looked very grave as she
stood up and remarked
Ladies' | trnst that this error may not
occur again.
1t did, however. or at least each one cast
a vote for herself; but on the third ballot
choice was made aud the lucky woman
took her seat, smoothed out the folds of her
dress and remarked
The next thing in order is the the
next -
\ woman with a wart on her nose then
made speech. saying that she had been
treasurer of several similar associations,
and that if it was the wish of the convention
she would accept the office. 1t didn't seem
to be the wish, however.
81 move to adjourn - solemnly exclaimed
a woman with large backcomb.
''The motion is not in order,'' replied
woman across the room.
cam i in the chair, or are you?'' de-
manded the president.
~ move to reconsider the motion?''
squeaked the little woman.
Il support the question - put in the fat
woman.
The president wiped her spectaclcs, rap
ped on the stovepipe, and replied
Ladies', there is no question before the
house. and the question to adjourn is out
of order
''Not much - exclaimed woman nearly
six feet high, drawing herself up. I've
seen more meetings of this kind than tie
president ever heard of, and know that
an order to adjourn is always in notion"
$50 is your tongue ~ said some one on
the lounge, and the president knocked on
the stovepipe, and said
1.-The chair believes she knows her busi-
ness as well as any woman wearing plated
wire hoop skirts"
'And rm going hum - added the fat
woman.
''Soam I -
''Soam -
''Soam I -

And they stalked out, leaving the presi-
dent tying up her left shoe and her ewes
flashing wildcats. And all this is WHY
