THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Hang Up Raby,s STOCKING.

Hang Up Baby's Stocking.
Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget
The dear little dimpled darling
She meier saw Christmas yet;
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands 1t,
She looks so funny and wise.
Dear what tiny stocking
1t doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from frost and cold.
But then, for the baby's Christmas
1t will never do at all;
Why Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half SO small
I know what wen do for the baby
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking Of grandma,
The longest that ever can;
And youth hang it by mine, dear mother,
Right here in the corner, so,
And write letter to Santa,
And fasten it on the toe.
Write: I" This is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here;
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby
And now before you go
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe

Catching Cold.

One chief danger from colds is the
exhausted state Of the body that first

any character of mains already laid; and they
avoid the obnoxious feature incidental to the
use of all other meters, of " dOmiciliary visits"
for the purpose of detecting and prohibiting
misuse of water. The free and independent
American householder, untrammeled by any OF
the base considerations which impel the ordi-
nary taxpayer to economy, thinks he has
perfect right to use as much or as little water
as he likes, and would resent the intrusion OF
a water-meter inspector as an invasion OF MS
castle. The unique feature OF the meter
in question is that only one is necessary
to district of about 1000 inhabitants, and
vet it detects the very house in which vast
age takes place and also proves its charges.
Investigations of this system by the au-
thorities of Philadelphia, Chicago and Brook
lyn we understand to be already on foot In
view of the fact that NewYork uses from 70
TO 45 per cent more water TO each OF Its IN
habitants than either of these cities, some
prompt action looking to thorough inquiry
into the advantages of the meter alluded to
ought to be taken by the Aldermen.
New-York tribune., 1877-06-02
ECONOMY IN CROTON WATER.

Previous articles on water meters IN The
TRIBUNE have shown its readers the great eX-
tent of the waste of CrOtOn in this city; never
tbeless the statement OF Gen. Gilmore that 20
per cent of our supply is wasted. and that less
than one-third of what passes into the aqucduct
ever reaches our houses for actual cOnsump-
tion, will surprise and startle. This immense
waste is. of course, a great loss in money value
to the city moreover, the dcleterouS effects
on health, not to mention the damage to houses,
of this leakage is incalcuabe.
Gen. Gllmore's communication ought to have
the desired effect of compelling official and
general attention TO the wiser policy of saving
our present supply Of pure water rather than
OF attempting to increase it. Ii the wastage
is double the quantity used, it is clear that
the supply, provided the wastage can be cut
off or even reduced onc-hal, will be sufficient
for many years to come There is, therefore
no present pressing need for new aqucducts
or an extension OF the old one to more remote
sources. The means of decreasing the wastage
are presented in very clear and forcible Ian
guage, which any reader can understand with
the aid of the diagram attached to the COM
muncatOn The Endorsement Of the Liverpool
system of waste-water meters IL hearty and
uncquivOcal, and coming from an engineer of
Gen. GillmOres repute cannot but command
respect. That it will suggest and incte in
qury on the part of the officials of all our
principal cities charged with the management
of their water-works ought not TO be Il sub
ject of doubt. The system appears simple
the meters are not costly, and few of them
need to be used they can be readily applied to

HERE THEY 4 MLSTAKE9

If the views expressed by ex-senator Bout
well in his address at Bamstablc the other
day are intelligent and truthful, then there was
an obvious mistake i'll the phraseology OF the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The
object AIMED at in these two amendments, as
now appears was to secure to the newly en-
franchsed blacks the right-tO vote the Repub-
hcan ticket. There was some general talk at
the time of the adoption Of these amendments
about endowing the blacks with the ballot for
their own protection and there was notion
current that the purpose of these changes Ill
the organic act was to put the blacks i'll the
way of taking care of themselves by
giving them weapon of defense. 1t
was this argument, if we remember Alright,
which turned the scale i'll the dis
cussion against the objection that was
urged with great earnestness that mischievous
consequences would be sure to follow so sweep
inc measure as this sudden investlturc of
the ignorant and degraded masses OF freed
men with all the privileges, rights, duties and
RESPONSIBILITIES of citizenship. Indeed we re-
member hearing it said more than once III
the discussions which preceded the final
adoption of these measures that IN the end
it would result in the discontinue OF
the party which advocated it. But there
were some who said that the latter
consideration should have no weight; that the
object of the amendments was not to perpetu-
ate the power Of a party but 10 insure the
freedom of the blacks. 1t seems they were
laboring under a mistake. Mr.. Boutwell's view
of it is that the intention of the amendments
was to invest the freedmen with the privilege
of voting the Republican ticket, and that not
having accomplished that purpose with DIS
tinguished success, they are pretty much a
failure.
The fact then is, under this Interpretation Of
their aim and scope, that a great mistake was
made in the phraseoloSy and terms of the two
amendments. They should have provided for
the taking of a census Of the blacks before
every election, to serve as registry list OF
voters, this list to be added bodily to the
actual white vote poled for the Republican
ticket at any election, and counted as the true

The Ohio Democrats are Overhauling the timbors
of the ST. Louis platform to If any of them are
substantial enough to work into the structure which
they propose to fabrcate for the Fall canvass. The
results of this nspecOnare rather dlSheartening SO

asserts that the South has been finally elimIna-
ted as "A political factor, and this deprves the party
of its capital theme for strenuous campaign rhetoric
The Mongolian question can hardly be dgniied INTO
an ISSUE" After the dexterous dodging of the late
House of Representatives on the Tariff question it
would be unseemy to make any " declaration OF
principles" that subject. even if they were quite
sure they had some principles to declare The st.

for hard-money men. it is hardly probable that the
Ohio Economists will express any anxiety to re-
move hinderances to resumption" Upon the whole

Mr. Randolph Tucker has been giving the
Baltimore law students some excellent advice
about the necessity of keeping alive a rev.
erence for the Constitution and its methods,
and seeing that future generations receive un-
impaired this precious Inheritance 1t is to be
regretted that at the same time Mr. Tucker
took occasion to distOrt history and revive
rccolections OF time which he ought to be
glad to forget. He cannot be engaged i'll a
better work than that of instilling into the
minds Of the young men of his section a
profound respect for the Constitution,
but he can surely be in better
business than that of making 1t appear
that all the crimes against that instrument in
the last generation have been committed by
the North. Mr.. Tucker never heard apparently
of the firing on Sumter-only of " centrallSm
at Washington; he never heard apparently Of
the ordinances of secessOn-Only OF central
"ism;" never Of any war-only of unproyoked
and persistent "centralism." Much that he
SAYS of the more recent condition of Southern
affairs is unhappiy true. Much that he says
on other points is sensible. 1t is pity that
he should have said much besides that was
neither true nor sensible.

Last Mays weather. as shown in the review fur
nished from the T. s. Signal Station in this city, had
some noteworthy peculiarities. The elimination Of
its "hcatef term was 90o on the 10Th; but
both before and after that term there was
enough of comparatively cool weather to
bring down the average for the month
to that of the preceding six years. Rain
fell-more or Lesson 9 days of the 81, and only 7
were clear; but the total rainfall very small in
fact little a fourth the average of the month in
six years preceding, and only half Of tho lowest
record in those years. Meanwhile the rainfall
at the West has been enormous. The remarkable
feature of the month is indeed. that the rain
bearing clouds from the West have failed for the
most part to make their customary march across this
region That pecuarity of the season still contin-
ues and is at present observable in the singular slow
ness with which the belt of rain areas that now has
reached the lake region approaches the coast With or
after the advent of that, We may reasonably expect
somewhat cooler weather. The afternoon rise of tho

Yesterdays fire in Baltimore certainly shows
a remarkable indifference on the part of the
local authorities to the presence of dangerous
buildings in that city, The oil factory which
burned yesterday and flied the cutters and
streets with blazing oil, burned for the fourth
time. 1t was only the absence of wind that
prevented disastrous fire. Some day when
the factory burns down again-for according
to all precedent it will surely be rebuilt and
as surely be burned dOwn-there may be
wind, and fire sufficiently disastrous to teach
the Baltimore authorities a lesson.

Lost and destitute children are not without
friends in the great city, as is shown by the
interesting story in another column of the
children's room at Police Headquarters. With
the thousand arms of the police at their com

their protection, the children are perhaps bet
ter off than many older unfortunates, who are
not so helpless, but who find it more difficult
to get help. This is a work which checks
crime and misery in it's first growth, and it

The gossips have been cheated, and the pub
lie have been spared scandal. The great
Boston case, which was to drag some OF the
first families into court, and the news OF which
has already brought the lovers of scandalouS
revelations to their tiptOes IN eager interest,
has been switched Off into private court OF
referees. There will be no spectators and no
newspaper reports. Certainly the parties to
the case will not complain of this move, which
saves them much unpleasant publicity and Sc
cures them a court in which they are doubtless
as sure of justice as i'll any in the Common
wealth. The public will not complain, for
there have been enough of scandal trials OF
late years. There viii be dissatisfied people,
of course, the people who gathered in the
courtroom yesterday to enjoy the feast being
reported as among the number. 1t does cattle
of that kind good TO be cheated.
