THE MAYORS OBJECTIoNs.-Every taxpayer
and every person interested in good and econ
omical management of the city will heartily
approve of all movements on the part of our
officials to prevent the diversion of money
from the city treasury for any other than
strictly legitimate purposes. Mayor Butler has
declined to approve a bill for the annual supper
of the Aldermen and two other bills of similar
character. His endorsements of these bills,
with the reasons for non-approval, appeared in
the argus before the bills were returned to the
proper officials. As they had been exclusively
in the custody of the Mayor the conclusion is
inevitable either that the Mayor gave Them to
the argus, or that they were stolen, copied and
returned. The former hypothesis would indi-
cate that the Mayor was ambitious to advertise
his good deeds ia advanc, of their perform
ance-a thing utterly Inconsistent with Mr.
Buffers high character and honor. Hence
this theory must be dismissed. AS to the alter.
native, thu Mayor says that they must have
been distracted from his desk. AS none of the
officers about the City Building would have
been likely, under the circumstances, to take
them, it follows that the desk must be access
ible to outsiders, and that some light fingered
reporter invaded its sanctity. city expendi-
ture for new lock would be strictly legitimate,
especially when argus men afflicted with
kleptomania are about.

The Christian Mirror, replying to the sermon
of the Rev. B. N. Stone preached in the Swe-
denborgan church in this city last Sunday,
among other things, says: 1--WE have often
asked ourselves the question why it is that per-
sons who change from one denomination to
another, so often sigpalize their departure by
disappearing and defaming those left behind
them. Especially does this seem to be true
when the detection is from orthodoxy to some
unevaDgelical creed, or no creed. During the
late revival in Boston, none have so reviled and
blasphemed as the apostafes from orthodox
communions The philosophy Of this is, in
deed, not hard to suggest; but it does seem a
pity that man who, as he thinks, has escaped
from the letters of false doctrine, can devise no
better way to recommend his superior faith
than by showing himself unfettered also from
the obligations of Christian charity, and of the
ninth commandment"

To ALL particularly invalids, spring is trying

ing the bowels to become constipated and the sys-
tenn to remain in disordered condition, until the
disorder has time to develop ITSELF An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure is an old and truth
full saying. Therefore we advise all who are troub-
led with the complaints now very prevaent-head-
ache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite
nausea. or teverish skin, to take without delay
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy
so harmless and decisive in its action. 1t at once
strikes at the root of the disease and produces a
healthy tone to the system. People never need suf-
fer from any disease arising from disordered con-
dion of the liver if they would take this excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications of the
malady. Families leaving home for the summer
months should take three four boxes of these pills
with them They have an almost instantaneous eff
feet They will relieve the patient of headache in
one two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver
of surrounding bile, and will efectually prevent
bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists.
