But Wiggs & Sangster, the agents
in charge Of the Falkirk place, were ex-
ultant when he arrived.
"Four hundred pounds and mort
gage for the balance are all very well"
said Mr.. Sangster, "but they had had
another offer that morning-of cash
down. And they had considered it
their duty to Mr.. Falkirk to close with
it. Very sorry-but perhaps they might
suit Mr.. Nottingham with some other
piece of property"
Mr.. Nottingham went home, sadly
dispirited.
Whats the use of trying to save
money!" said he. "rm going to give

"Then you don't regret the terms

So the young couple moved into the

The result.

Nearly every person wastes enough
in twenty or thirty years, which, if
saved and carefully invested, would
make family independent; but the
principle of small savings has been lost
sight of in the general desire to become
suddenly wealthy by some fortunate

THE FRAUDS ADMITTED.

1t is an Oppressive fact that every ole
of the learned advocates who have ad-
vocates who have add, essed the Elector-
al Commission in Washington on the Re-
publican side of the Florida case; have
substantially admitted the Democratic
allegation that the HAYES electors were
declared to be appointed through fraud
ulent and false counting of the votes
cast by the people. Not one of those
gentlemen has stood up in his place and
affirmed that that the action of the State
Board of Canvassers was fair, honest
above board, and justified by facts. II
this way they all admit that it was
dishonest, fraudulent, and cheating ac-
tion.
The only adswer which these Repub-
lican gentleman undertake to set up is
that. the thing was done in accordance
with forms Of law, any that it must stand
for that reason. The State being cheated
out of its electoral vote through forms
of law, and the people of the United
States being cheated out of their Presi-
Dental election through forms of law,
the cheat must stand. and we must sub
NIT to the Inauguration of a President
elected by fraud only.
Such is the argument of Messrs.
Stoughton, Stanley Mathews, and Ev-
arts, and it is the best and the only
argument which the republican party
has to offer in the premises.-N. Y. Sun.

years of age; testified that he went in to
Dordan's on Saturday night, and pur-
Mr.. Dordan, that it was for his father.
After purchasing, he drank it and was
found dead drunk" on the streets.
The Mayor then asked Dordan if he
did not know that the boy wanted it for
himself, and that he had not right to
sell tie boy liquor, Mr.. Dordan replied
that he thought the boy was telling the
truth.

ROME A VAST CEMETERY.

The ground on which the Eternal
City stands is such as geologist
would find ithard to describe it is
mass of ashes, of vegetable and anima!
detritus, corrupted by contact, with the
filth of sewers, constructed at different
periods, without any regular plan, or
any regard to the public health. I'm
mediately after the fall of the empire,
the law forbidding burials within the
walls was neglected, and the city be-
came vast cemetery, where the living
dwelt in perpetual contact with the
dead. First, the burials invaded the
ancient ruins, and in long experience
of archaeologicalre research, have never
yet found single ancient building
which did not conceal corpses-often
only few dozen, but sometimes mil
lions. The fact that each parish church
had its cemetery at its side explains
the greater part of these dismal dis
coveries, but sometimes one is obliged
to betake ones self to other hypothesis
more or less problematical,
The subsoil of the Piazza Colona, the
gayest and most lively spot in the city,
is strewn with corpses. 1t was the
cemetery of the church (uow des-
troyed) of St. Andrea, first discovered
in 1926, in digging in the piazza for
water conduit. Tho same remark ap-
plies to the piazza del Pantheon, the
former burial ground OF the church OF
st. Maria ad Marfyras In 1871, when 1
was experimenting the excavation in
the Forum and the Basilica Julia l saw
carried away at least 12, ,000cu feet
of human bones, which had been bur>
led at the side of the chapel of st. Maria
Della Grazie. Apassage iE Flaminio
Vacca ON the same subject is very
characteristic 'In the thermde OF
Constantine" says he. Opposite the
church of st. Silvestro, in a garden
belonging to Bernardo Acceaguoli,
were found two enormoussubterraneaR
vaults. 100 palms long and thirty
wide, filled with several thousand
corpses. The entranceto these dread
fui vaults had been carefully stopped
up, and the bodies were packed SO
close, one on the top Of the ohter, that
there remained hardly q cubic foot of
the space Free" l do not doubt that a
burial place so singular owed its exis-
tencc to one OF those terrible epidemics
that ravaged the city between the
twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries. 1t is,
therefore, no wonder that during the
great heat of Summer the excavations
have to be suspended from regard to
the public health; and that when, Nm
der exceptional circumstances, some
thing has to be done. it is often effec-
ted at the cost of the life or the health
of the workmen.-London AtkdeReu'R.

Letter frOHt S0mueI I0iO,ts+ MT.
For the Delaware Gazette.

During the last session or two of our |
Deleware Legislature a practice had |
sprung up whether or not by advice of |
lawyers l know not, but to such an enor-
nous extent was this practice of mem
bers getting up and proposing to amend
certain chapters without stating what
was intended to be altered. That at the
end of last session, it was some time or at
least after the laws was printed before
the pubic knew how law matters really
stood. At the beginning of the present
session, to give the members as mild a
hint as could on this subject, wrote a
petition andit was signed by a respectable
number of names, and forwarded 1t to
Edward Cochran, ESQ, he presented it
and it was read and committee appoint
ed, and they reported a bill or act that
when any member gotup and proposed to
change or annul law, he should
stance. of it as well as the chapter
then the public could know what these
Representatives and Senators was doing,
so that If said proposed changes did not
suit the public they would protest against
SAID proposed changes, butI find although
Mr.. Cochran's committee made favor
able report, both the Senate and House
go on amending chapters, just as though
we, their constituents, were set of illi-
iterate negroes, not worthy of being in
formed What our Royal Masters theDela-
ware Legislators was doing. Now l give
notice and hope the Democratic voters of
New Castle county, Kent county and
Sussex county, will all join in giving no.
tice, that hereafter when we nominate men
for the Legislature, that no man need
thrust himself forward for a nomination
WHO'S not competent and able to get up
before a body of men and make clear
statement of what he wants or proposes
10 do; then the public as well us Il set of
Dover lobby lawyers, will know what is
going on, and what laws are being chang
ed. Mr.. Edward Cochran acted at once
on the petition sent, and suppose the
Legislature would have had some respect
for his committees report, but it appears
they have not, and therefare the voters
in 1873 must take this matter in their own
hands, and require by resolution at coun-
ty meetings before they delegate their
powers to men who when they get to
Dover, pay but little attention to the
wishes of the masses, it is time the men,
bers of our Legislature were taught that
they are the servants of the people and
not their masters.
