Fourth Street.

1t appears now, that despite of all
the efforts to have street paving done
by contract and according to law in
this city by the Democrats some years
ago, the Republicans controlling the
City Council have placed that body in
very doubtful position. And it is
very questionable whether the vast
amount of money Mr.. VIM. Candy ex-
pended on the English Bull and
crushed stone has not been wasted
There is yet about $50, 600 of the peo.
ple's money buried in that street, and
the residents thereon declare it nui-
Sance and refuse to pay; and they are
backed up in this opinion by an able
lawyer. We believe the people ought
to be met fairly in this matter-that
the city ought to abste the nuisance, II
it is oae. and that they ought to pay
their bills. But this is a specimen of
Mr. VIM Canby's work. To be sure
the worst of it was doneHwhile he was
junketing at Cape May; but he is re.
sponsible for the short comings of Mr..
Baker who undertook to superintend
the job. Now, Mr. Candy may expect
to get another chance next year, to
pur chase crushed stone and waste the
substance of the people with the use of
the costly English Bull, hence his op.
position TO the paving of Walnut stree
that is demanded for the health and
beauty of the dy.

Special Dispatch to the Bait. Gazette.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 10.-Statements
having been circumstantially made in
the public prints to the effect that Sena-
tor Bayard had reflected severely upon
Hon. Samuel ]. Randall during the pro-
ceedings of the conference on the leGisla-
tive bill Mr.. Randall addressed Senator
Bayard letter requesting him to state
whether or not he had used the language
imputed to him. Mr.. Bayard promptly
and frankly responded that he had never

the manner imputed to him. but on the
contrary had always spoken Of his con-
duct in the most complimentary man

figures. Enough IN one year to pay for
the conquest of an empire under such
Democratic war as Polk conducted
againt Mexico. Truly the Hon. Samuel
]. Randall may go to his constituents
covered all over with honor for his work
in behalf of the people. Quietly, sternly
and determInedly he fairly fought his
way to his great figures, and stubbornly
and safely has he fallen back before the
direful threatenings of the Senate and
that bad and evil hearted man Grant,
and his whisky soaked companions.
Here is saving worth talking about, if
it is not all that Randall ought 10 have
had. 1t will emblaZon our banners, and
encourage our people to believe
that there is still some use in preserving
Republican ninstitutions-that the Repub-
lie may yet again be made to show that
self-government can be conducted by
the people for their own benefit as
chealy as the government of Emperial
England. which the last few Years the
Radical party has made exceed in cost
about 100000. We gather from the
reports that the total reduction Of the
estimates, as submitted by the various
departments, amount in bills as they
have passed the House to the enormous
sum of S84, ,374,672 06. The amount of
reductions made by the House on last
years bills is $3s, s,9lO, ,9s4.99. The eamount
of net reductions from last years bills
will reach a grand total of between S32,
100000 and s33,O00,00O OF course the
exact figures cannot be given until the
Indian, River and Harbor and Legisla-
tive bills are passed, but the reductions
in conference of the former and latter
are already agreed on, and can be quite
accurately approximated for the grand
total 1t will be noticed that in the to-
tai reduction of nearly s39, ,00O, 900 by the
House the Republican Senate has not
succeeded in cutting that amount down
more than IS, 1000, 900 or $4,000, coo. 1t is
doubtful if the official figures, which
are yet TO be evolved from mass of sta
tistics, will exceed s., 900 900 and may not
reach that amount. This Is the record
on which the House goes to the country.
1t is not one of mere professions of re-
form and pretension OF retrenchment.

WHAT THE HOUSE .aAs DoNE.-There ,s
no sham about the work of the Demo-
cratic House. The members promised
the people on the stump, before their
election that they would reduce the ex-
penditures, and they have done 30 in
spite of all the opposition the Senate.
the Cabinet and Grant could make. Tho
veto of Grant causes an actual loss to
the people of 500, ,0e9 now in the salary of
Of the President. Nearly every Democrat.
ic State Conventionthath has been held for
a year has passed resolutions declaratorv
OF the sense OF the party in favor of re-.
ducing the Presidents salary to its old
point Of s25.ooo, which is full compensa-
lion, and the House has done its best to
meet the wishes of the people. They
would have accomplished this against
hne stubborn opposition of Senators had
not Grant vetoed the bill which had
'oeen passed. We hope q vote NAV vet
be had upon the question. 1t oupbt to
be passed by g two-thirds vote in tho
House, and then the fault of failure 70
reduce the salary would rest against the
Senate and the Radical party, where it
ought to be placed by the Democrats.
The efforts of the Democrats are de-.
serving of all praise. They have had e
hereulian work before them, and have
accomplished great deal. According
to Senator Window, the House had de-
Sermined to discharge 1912 clerks.

Senate the number to be discharge

Jealousy In High Places.

An incident which occurred here q
few years ago, says a London letter,
may. perhaps, serve to illustrate the
jealousy which exists upon the question
of precedence among the different Am
bassadors. Musurus Pasha had the
misfortune to lose his wife, who died at
a ball given by the Prince of Wales.
AT the first drawing ROOM, or recep.
ton, held by the Queen after this mel
ancholy event, the Minister brought his
eldest daughter to fill the place of the
deceased lady, and, as her mothers rep.
resentative, Miss Musurus had prece-
dence of all other ladies of the Diplo-
matte Corps who we're present, where.
upon the wife of the Russian Ambassa.
dor Immediately left the palace, pro
testing that the daughter of the Turkish
Minister had no claim TO this superiority.
This created, of course, intense excite
ment, and, after a careful inquiry into
the forms aud observances of etiquette,
it was found that the Russian lady was
in the right. However, by way of balm
to the wounded feelings Of the repre-
sentative OF the Sublime Porte, the
Queen invited his daughter TO spend a
few weeks at the Windsor Castle, an
honor which, it is said, had never been
vouchsafed TO any OF his brother dipio-
mats. And 30 the incident ended.

CHAPTER ii.

Ten years had passea--years of strange
and valuable discipline for the farmers
daughter.
Archibald Glenburn did marry Ida
Harris, just as she had expected. Nei-
ther one of them had Lillian ever seen
since, ard very little had she heard of
them. They had made two or three
tips to Europe-so gossip had reported
and some children had been born to
them; how many Lillian did not know.
A ring of dark hair was hidden away
among Lilian's sacred relics. Strange
that she could never bring herself to de-
stroy it.
"It is the only link that binds me to
the past" she had said many times, as
her fingers futtered over the silken
wrapping. "I will let it remain; per-
haps it will keep me from making q fool
of myself in the future"
Lilian's home was now In New York.
Farmer Travis had sickened and died.
His illness had been long and painful
one, and at his death Lillian, who could
not eudure the pressure of cid associa-
tions, determined to lease the farm.
Her fortune was ample, and her desire
for intellectual Improvement the only
stimulant that made life endurable. So
she bought herself an elegant little home
in the city, and then went to work in
good earnest.
every woman determined to be IN
old maid should be sure that she makes
for herself position where she can be
of as much use as in the capacity of wife
and mother" Lillian reasoned; and, full
of this idea, became medical student.
Twenty eight, and graduate with @
diploma, fair practice and a host Of
studentsl Truly, Lillian, you have made
good use of your time. There is very
little difference in the girl of 18 and the
woman of %, after all; if anything, she
has gained in beauty. The earnestness
of her life has impressed itself upon hel
face, and the result is sweet nobility
of expression, tender sympathy Of
manner, impossible to life of idleness
She feels that she has been richly
blessed in her ability to bless others
but-but All, these womanly ifs anC
butts how they penetrate to the depth
of the heart, disclosing all its hidden SO
crets Lillian has kept this love-cham
ber of hers pretty well locked; bu

Mummy Paint.

Few Lersons are aware that Egyptian
mummies are ground up into paint
But in this country and in Europe mum
mics are used for this purpose-the as-
phaltum with which they sre impreg-
mated being OF quality superior to that
which can elsewhere be obtained, aud
producing a peculiar brownish tint when
made into paint, which is priced by dis
;inguished artists both of this and OF
other countries. The aacieut Egyptians,
when they put away their dead, wrapped
in clothes saturated with asphaitunir
builded, as it were, better than they
knew. and could never have realized
the fact that ages after they had been
laid in the tombs and pyramids aloug.
the Nile their dust would be used IN
painting pictures in world then undis-
covered, and by artists whose languages
were then unknown.

TOMS THANKSGIVING

Pray, are you thankful" Margaret asked,
For all the blessings Of your life?"
said Tom: "Ah one thing yet l want
The blessing Of loving wife;
And till find that precious gift
cannot give thanks quite sincere"
All, wicked Tom :" the maiden sighed,
" Your case is hopeless, then, fear"
"Not sol" cried he, "if you, my friend,
Would only try to find for me
maiden fair, whose heart is mine,
Devoutly thankful / shall be;
But she must have-well, let me think,
Eyes like your own, as soft and blue,
And hair as golden, lips as red
In short, she must resemble you ~.
That which you ask" she answered.then
4" really dare not undertake"
What J" answered Tom, " have you the heart
Thus poor mortal to forsake?"
Low dropped her bead before his gaze,
"Oh, Tom J" said she, what shall do >"
Said Tom; "I think-indeed, I'm sure
could be thankful, dear-for you!'

A Fatal Love.

AT A late meeting of the Board Of
Health of Reading, Pa, the following
statement was made of the manner IN
which young man caught the small
pox: "He met his sweetheart on the
street in the evening, and accompanied
her home. On the front door Was red
patch, but she said nothing about any
member of the family having the small
pox. She concealed the fact from her
lover, and conducted him into the house
by the side door, so that he should not
see the red patch on the front door. He
caught the small pox from tine infected
house, and was the means of communi-
eating the disease to his father. who
died"

TALLAHAssEE. Dec. 2.-The day
WAS taken up mostly by the final
testimony before the board. Each
side filed specifications of contest
in several counties and made repli-
cation to charges in certain other
counties. The only one new or
notable point raised was in Mans' ee
county. where the Clerk-by law

week or so before the election.

The Republicans ask that the coun-

would be Reid without the Clerk,
dill not go to the polls. The Dem
ucrats ask 1t to be counted. as those
