The Careful Mother and Model Boy

The two didn't belong to each other
and this very good boy may have beer
too smart and saucy.
Little Mary was prettilv dressed, and
standing in front of the house waiting
for her mother to go out and ride. A
tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was
passing, when the little giil said Come
here, boy, and shake hands wine, |
dot boy dns' like you, named Joey "
The boy laughed, shook hands with her,
and said i've got little girl just like
you, only she hasn't and little cloak with
pussy fur on it,
Here a lady came out Of the door, and
said, Mary pou must not talk to bad
boys on the street, hope you havnt
taken anything from her. Go right
along, and never stop here again, boy ~
That evening the lady was called down
to speak with boy in the hall He was

THE JETTIES,

The news that arrives respecting the
Eads's jetLies, at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, continue to be of the most graft
flying character. From a telegram in
the New Orleans Times, sent from Port
Eads on Saturday, we see that sound
ings along distance of fifteen hundred
feet, taken one sounding to every fifty
three feet-and this on the shallowest
part of the jettied entrance-gave the
following depth: "a, 23I, 2O4, 22i, 19I

nineteen feet, only three casts being as
shallow as that. This, in a channel that
formerly gave soundings as shallow as 7,
u, 8, 81 and 9 feet i'm numerous places
in the middle of the channel, speaks with
sufficient decision as to what the jetty
system is accomplishing, proof that
what it has done for the Danube and
other Europen streams it is just as able
to do for the Mississippi. The result OF

Il COSTLY STATE CH4RIOE

Probably the most costly state chariot
ever yet built has just been completed
for the mikaIo of Japan by Messrs. Nor
gan and Il Co., of London. The body
of the vehicle Is of the frest Spanish
mahogany, and fashioned after an old
Flemish pattern which allows of an I'M
limited amount of ornamentatien and
exceptional interior comforts. 1t is con-
siderably larger than European state
carriages generally, but the popularity
of its construction admits of the draught
being very light. The panels are painted
a rich pale green, with white and gold
trellis and scroll ornaments, the gliding
being very proluse. The metal appoint
ments are silver gilt, the door-handles
and lamps being massive and richly
chased. Traditional emblems of Japan,
conspicuously The tortoise and dragon,
surmount each corner of the roof, in the
center of which is japanese crown.
The interior is luxuriously upholstered
with cloth of gold, rich Valenciennes
lace, and green silk velvet ornaments.
The under carriage is scroll-shaped, an
richly carved and gilt, the color of the
wheels matching the body of the vehicle

CONGRESSIONAL REFORMS.
New York Argus.


The house of representatives have done
a noble work.
1t has saved the country from the dis
grace of having Blaine for speaker. The
presiding officer of this branch of congress
no longer writes to applicants for railroad
aid, setting forth what be has done for
them in certain emergencies. The
speakers room is no longer a brokers'
office for railroads applying for federal
aid. The government is not now dis
graccd by the spectacle of its third civil
officer conspiring tosteal the public lands
and to load down the people of the
United States with bonds granted to
railroads organized by his friends.
Congress has exposed the corruptions
of a member of the cabinet of the presi-
dent, in dealing in post traderships, and
compelled hasty resignation in order
to secure technical plea against punish
ment.
1t has driven from the diplomatic ser
vice one who was a disgrace to the state
department.
1t is engaged in struggle with the
administration, to save forty millions of
dollars recommended by the treasury
department., and has thus exposed the
holIowness of republican pretenses in IA
vor of retrenchment.
1t has placed in clearer light the well
knewn corruptioDs of the navy depart
ment, and produced moral proof of the
dishonesty of secretary Robson by
exhibiting his bank account.
1t would have purified the war depart
ment, if the republican party had not
placed Cameron at its head.
1t has revealed the corruption of the
interior department, in its treacherOus
and profigate dealings with the Indians.
and has broken up one Indian ring,
leaving another to take its place, we
presume.
1t has shown how the postoffice depart
ment has robbed the people of millions
by means of straw bids.
Thus it has revealed the rotten work
ings eff every department of government.
More even than this. 1t has entered
the household of the president, and star
tied the county with the rascalities cen
tering there.
1t has broken up the district ring, and
indicted, or compelled to flee, the bosom
friends of the president who were its
corrupt manipulators
1t has reorganized the army and substi-
tuted silver for fractional currency.
1t has framed tariff act which would
revive industry, if passed; has endeav'
! ored to take additional steps towards
specie payments; has struggled earnestly
for retrenchment and reform.
In all of these efforts at redress, reform
and retrenchmen, tit has encountered the
resolute OPPOSITION of the republican party
This brief summary suffices to show
how extensive are the corruption' al
Washington; how earnest are the efforts
of the democracy to remove them; and
how necessary it is that Il ring-smasher
| like TiIdcn should be elected president
in order that he may thoroughly over
| turn the mOnstrOus system
