How He MADE HIMSELF AT HOME
"Make yourself at home," is a common form
of hoptable welcome but the invitation may
be awkwardly taken advantage of if your
friend happened to be odd. "The Nashville
Banner says:
The eccentric Brother Carr" whose name
has become household word in this city,
once paid an informal visitto good religious
family, as he was in the habit of doing when
he came to Nashville The lady ofthe house
came in, but after some time excused herself
to attend to some household duty, but begged
Brother Carr to make himself at home.
When she returned she found the reverend
gentleman on his knees in front of the fire.
place, taking up the ashes. Perfectly taken
aback at this spectacle, she said:
"Why, what in the world are you doing p
He answered:
"You told me to make myself at home and,
if we're at home and the ashes needed taking
out as badly as yours, I would do it myself"
She was not much comforted to find that
he had been out in the back yard, and had
hunted up an old ash pan with as much idea OF
being at home as she could have possibly de-
sired,

A BALD HEAD-It has been generally sup
posed that bald head was of no account, even
to the owner, but Vicksburg stands up and
remarks to the contrary. The other day a
resident of that city went up to Thompson 8
Lake to get shot at the big alligator, and
while eating cold bite in the shade, man
jumped over the fence, presented an old army
musket at his head, and cried out
stranger, unkiver yer head!'
The Vicksburger was dumbfounded, but
made haste to remove his hat and exhibit a
pate which shone like newl y-polished pill
paw.
STRANGER, that saves ye?" continued the
man, as he shouldered the musket; 81 thought
ye was the red-headed peddler who charged
my wife seventy-6ve cents for testiment
which hasn't got darned picture in it''

FRESH AIR FOR HORSES. as they
roam wild over their native plains of Ara
bia and Persia, or over the praires of Texas
and Mexico, are not the delicate and diseased
animal we find in our stables, and the great
reason for this is that in their wild state they
have abundance Of exercise and fresh air.
A "srse's excrement decomposes rapidly and
nils thc,,,sstable with ammonia and carbonic
ACID; Wear it sometimes said that horse
stable IS heathy place, and the care OF
horses healthy bi;ness. Let those believe
this who can. A groom. may be healthy in
consequence of his exercise md drives, but
not in consequence of his conhLsnent in a
stable. In most of the stables which >~e see,
we should never set our foot if we could aSe;d
it. We should expect to carry away in oul
clothes and hair enough ammonia to manure
small potato patch. A person may become
accustomed to breathe this vitiated air and
not mind it, just as he can become accus
toned to the smoke of tobacco; but that am
monia or tobacco smoke improves the health
fulness of the air, is too big dose of falsehood
for US to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. HYDE, in

SALARIES Of city OmciaIs.

At the General Council meeting held
yesterday afternoon the ordinance fixing
salaries Of certain city officials passed
its first reading as follows: City Comp
t%rOller, $25OO; City Register, $4,000;
City Treasurer, $1,000; City Engineer,
$500; Sergeantat-Arms, $l44O; City
Recorder, $500; Mayors clerk, 5000.
The position OF Assistant City Engineer
and License Inspector were abolished.
This is a considerable cutting down of
expenses, but the General Council has it
10 its power to secure q still greater re-
t%renchment by making the Chief of
Police act as Recorder without addi-
tionaf pay, and make the City Comp
troller act as Treasurer without addis
tional pay, and doubling up other officers
in like manne The pay Of City Re.
corder even at 5000 per annum makes
it the best and most remunerative of city
Offices, not excepting that of Mayor,
who receives $4,000 per annum. The
perquisites Of the office of City Re-
corder amount to over $4,000 per annum,
arising from a monopoly of the State
cases, which the Recorder tries as ex-
of6cio justice Of the peace. There is
not a magistrate in the city but who will
take the office gratis and rely upon the
perquisites for his pay. Too many Offices,
too little work and too much salary bus
mess is what's the matter at the City
Hall. But all this will regulate itself in
due time probably.

Police Matters.

Yesterday afternoon the new police
patrolmen were formed in parade at
the Adams street station-hoase, for the
purpose Of receiving the Commissioners
and hearing the new rules and regula-
tons read. In a few minutes Chief
Athy appeared with Commissioners
Leatb, Moore, Frank and Vaccaro, who
took a stand in front of the men. Chief
Athy read the rules and regulations to
the force, after which he introduced the
Commissioners, saying These gentle
men are the Commissioners Of Police.
whose orders, rules and regula-
tons you are bound to obey.
Chairman Leath. Of the Commission,
then addressed the force in a pleasant
and kindly manner, saying to the men
that they had been selected as valuable
and trustworthy men, who would obey
orders and do their duty under all cir
cumstances; that all the Commissioners
asked of them was implicit obedience
and a strict observance Of the rules and
regulations just read, which rules and
regulations would be strictly enforced,
and any member Of the force violating
such would do so with the knowledge
that his dismissal would follow. The
Commissioners felt gratifed at their in
dorsement so far by the public, and they
would continue to so act as to deserve
that Endorsement by enforcing all
necessary rules and regulations for
the perfect protection Of both
life and property. Chairman Leath
and the other Commissioners shook
hands with many Of the officers and men
and then retired. The force Of thirty
seven patrolmen was then divided off by
Chief Athy, whichgsye twenty.four men
for night duty and thirteen for day duty.
Captain Braun and Sergeant McElroy
command the night force, and Captain
Weatherford and Sergeant Aratta the
day force. The boys we're given badge
numbers to suit the new organization
and were then dismissed. we advise
the boys to look cut and observe all the
rules and regulations, as certain dis.
misssl from the force will Immediately
follow any violation Of the same, and il
such should take place the only person
to blame will be the v%iolator of rules
and regulations.

posed to criticism.
Policemen cannot now visit their
f%avorite saloon and throw a drink under
their belts; il they do they invite the
penalty Of dismissal from the force; but
such is the memorable law Of the Com
m~issioners. This rule disposes Of the
matutinal and midnight cocktail, as
well as the fragrant Havana enveloped
in a Connecticut wrapper.
Judge HAlsey, Of the Second Circuit
Court, has ruled that the new law
regulating jury trials does not apply to
the old cases on the docket filed previous
to the passage Of said law. And in
consequence these old cases will be tried
under the old jury Law. as the new law
does not expressly repeal the old one.
A number of leading lawyers hold a like
opinion as to this class Of cases.
The Appeal, which journal has not
been able to fully comprehend the city
charter and City Hall ring muddle, edi-
toriAlly announces that Chief McFadden,
Of the Fire Department, has gotten out
an injunction against the Commission

Foley, and Chief McFadden Is one of
the enjoined. We appeal to the Appeal
to get straight on this City Hall ring
business.
