WE complain OF the cost of building
railways In the United States, but the
expense attendant upon the construc-
ton of the Metropolitan District street
railway in the city of London averaged
$3,500,000 per mile. The road is u
double track and operated by steam,
and the immense cost was occasioned
by tunnelling through the city. The
travel must be enormous to pay inter-
est Oh such vast sums expended for
construction.

After session which continued more
than two hours this afternoon, the Sem
ate, by vote of thirty-one to seventeen,
refused to confirm the nomination of
Richard III. Dana to be United States
Minister to England. The discussion
was not distinguished by the introduc-
ton of any new or important elements.
The same old matters which have been
so repeatedly brought to tho attention OF
tho Senate were again rehearsed. The
Lawrence Dana controversy was re-
viewed, and the letter in which MIR. Dana
announced his refusal to appear before
the committee which had decided against
him on er parte evidence was character
lied as it has been before. Tie resoln-
ton as reported by the COMMITTEE on
Foreign Relations was as follows:
Resolved, That the Senate does not advise

Mr.. James Kelley, a soldier under
Wellington in the Peninsular campaign,
attained his one hundredth year on the
18th inst. He is residing with daugh-
ter in this city, and is in the enjoyment
of remarkable health, considering his
advanced age.
children, and he had born to him thir-
teen children, none of whom survive ex-
cept daughter. He was the father of
the late Capt. Joseph Kelley, brave
officer in the Confederate service, and
one of his grand-daughters is the wife of
the Hon. M. X. McGrath, our present
Secretary of State.
The old veteran keeps quite closely to
his room, though disabled by few of the
infrmities that usually accompany a
man of his great longevity. His legs
are weak, but on the occasion of his re-
cent birthday he walked from
the room into the dining-hall with
out assistance. His features bear the
marks of a remarkably bright and reso-
lutte man. His hair, once black, is
snowy white, and is combed back of his
ears. His eye sparkles with vivacity
and with the fire of youth, especially
when recounting his exploits on a for
lorn hope and lighting his battles

tacles.
Mr.. Kelley is remarkably abstemious
in his habits, and has not tasted any in

life, he gives the particulars with vivid
and even dramatic effect, but his mem

THE LITTLE FOLKS.


Five little people had been to walk,
Some one way and some another,
And ut night as they toasted their ten little fee
Round the fire, voice that was always sweet,
Said. "what did you seef Tell mother"
Then Tom. by birthright, began: al heard
The merriest slegh-bells ring,
And there the least little mite OF q sleigh,
And little bay pony 80 ohipper and CAV.
The boy that drove must be happy ali day,
AS happy AZ any king"
Next Bees the Brownie: 40, mother, I saw,
In window 30 large ana clear,
A bard in cage all gold aud blue,
And over and round IL long vines grew,
And lovely roses and fuchsias too.
How I wanted il, mother dear!"
And Fan-what caught her longing eyes
Was wonderful, wonderful doll.
With flowing curls OF yellow hair,
And a smiling face so soft and fair,
And a spangled dress as light as air,
Fit for Cindrela's ball.
Then Harry-dear little fat round Hal,
sometimes called Roly-Polyl,
What did he see but gorgeous sled,
With dying horse in flaming red,
And its name, all yellow, was " GO AHEAD"

And now II was BRIDES turn: Mamma,

And there was dear little, poor little kitty,
Just shivering with cold, and O, so pretty

Then mother said softly, "Good night my dears,
With whispers os this and that;
And kisses many, for sweet refrain

Till they all went of with their wishes vain

BURGLARY is no longer an art which

jewelry store in New York in broad day
light, and after knocking the proprietor
senseless and tying and gagging him
proceeded to pacl up the stock in bags
and escaped without attracting any at
tention. BY the time the alarm was Civ

A Sad Sell Oh a Swell Swain.

The present proprietors of the Astor
house objected to having their parlors
turned into trysting places for male and
female fiuts, and the manager of the
hotel, Mr.. Lansing, played an amusing
joke recently upon one young gentleman
of this description who came under his
notice. He found the following "per-
sonal " in a morning paper one day:
A sToR HOUSE, FROM FULTON FERRY. IN
IA Fifth avenue stage, O'Clock p. m.-Lady in

gentleman whom she noticed in hotel parlor yester

Forthwith he addressed note to +.
Fl. B., penned in female hand, and APP
pointed mn interview in the hotel on the
following day. The writer urged him
to be discreet, and, to make sure that
there would be no mistake, suggested
that he would walk up and down the
main corridor with IN illustrated news
paper in his left hand.
Punctually at the appointed hour
+. II. b. made his appearance, dressed
to kill, and for half an hour paced the
corridor pensively, with copy of Har-
per's Weekly in one hand, the hotel Off
cials and the guests OF the house enjoy
ing themselves greatly meanwhile.
Having finally left the hotel in despair,
he put himself to the expense of an
other personal. Another note was writ
ten to him, and he was brought to the
hotel a second time, wher rumor spread
in the street that Weston was walking
on a wager in the Aston, and crowd
poured in to look at him. He was prob
ably the most crestfallen young man in
New York when the clerks finally called
him into their private Office and opened
his eyes.-NeaO York World.

A Serious Joke.

There is young gentleman in this
town who is looked upon as sort of q
woman-hater, and who, it was believed
until recently, would not marry the
handsomest and best woman on earth
if every hair in her head was Kohl
moor diamond. On account of leap year
some young ladies concluded to put up a
job on this young man, and arrange it
for one of their number to propose mar
riage to him, while the others watched
the fun through holes bored in parti-
ton. The gentleman was invited to call
at the house of the young lady who was
to do the proposing, and on the desig-
mated evening he was there, seated in
the parlor, while the accessories to the
plot Ayere stationed at their eye-holes.
After Bone desultory conversation about
the weather aud the club party, the
young lady suddenly dropped on her
knees before the gentleman and in en-
dearing terms declared her passion.
Darling she said, 81 long have
loved thee, but the cruel Conventional
ties of society have forced me to con-
ceal my passion. Leap year, which
gives to oppressed woman one blessed
privilege, is now here, and / take adj
vantage Of it to tell thee adore thee.
Look not thus coldly on me, dearest /;
spurn me not from your presence. See
me on my Bonded knees imploring that
you will not say me nay. Grant me but
one kiss from those ruby lips fold me
to thine arms and say that thou wilt be
mine mine, only mine, forever and for
ave."
Contrary to expectation the gentleman
not the least establishment dur
ing the foregoing recital, and when it
was concluded he went over to the stove,
and, folding his hands under HE coat
tails, thus replied
I'm told your dad owns 100 shares of
North Carson, and that you've got two
brindle bulldogs in your own right and
without encumbrance likewise am in
formed that you area good hand at max
ing slapjacks and biscuit that you don't
chaw gum, which, by the way, is pow.
erful expensive these hard times. In
view of these facts 1 consent, and leave
it to you to name the day."
Mortified beyond expression, the lady
tried to explain that it was but joke,
but the gentleman would not accept any
such explanation, and threatens breach
of promise suit unless she fulfils her
promise, in which event he will summon
the peppers as witnesses. (Nev.)

Soon after the adjournment Of the

and the committee Of Andover church
to assume The responsibility OF pre-
senting charges against Beecher and
maintaining them before the investi-
eating committee. ....-z-
Prot. smythe, in reply to Bacon's
appeal, has written letter in which
he explains Why's, in his judgment, the
church cannot take this step. He
holds that the commission, in its ori.
gin, authorship and proposed CON
struction, fails to meet the judicial re-
quiremcnts of the case, and he has as
certained that Sc, eral important wit
nesses will not testify before that body
although they are willing to 60 be-
fore the mutual council cattcd by the
Andover and Plymouth churches. He
therefore falls back upon the only ba-
sis for "a thorough investigation of
the scandal. His position is the same
that of the minority who have

ministers association Of New York
and Brooklyn. III
