moments By losing their wits and forgetting

seems that there was newly married couple
on board of the steamer, who, by public
exhibition Of their fondneSs and affection for
each other, even before the boat left the
steamboat landing gave everybody in their
vicinity to understand that they had Just
launched IL the matrimonial bark and were
seeking together the pleasant haven of con-
nuLial bliss. They both glorled In the fact.
Soon after the accident occurred the lovers
disappeared from the deck. In the cabin,
where the lady passengers had been sent for
the purpose of fastening hfe-preservers about
their bodies, the couple who had but few

The OPFRA House CT La SCALA. -

The OPFRA House OF La SCALA. Il
have said that La Scala terminated one
end of this great glass-roofed avenue. 1t
is the largest opera house in the world,
exceeding that OF San Carlo, in Naples, by
some four hundred seats, while both are
superior in seating accommodations to the
new house IN Paris, although the latter has
more spacious lobbies, halls and stairs.
The famous Conservatory of Music, and
the almost equally celebrated school for
the ballet, are both adjuncts to this house
and nearly all the great prima donnas and
figurantes of the world have made their
debut on this stage. 1t is rarely open for
performances after the carnival season,
but it is regularly shown as one OF the
sights of the city. 1t will seat 1900 spec
tators, has 200 boxes IN five tiers, each
seating eight persons, and every seat com
manding a perfect view of the stage, which
will accommodate four hundred perform
ers, and is 46 yards across Its front; while
the orchestra holds $50 muslciane, and the
main chandelier has 400 lights The prices
which are uniform, appear moderate
the luxurious easy chairs OF the parquettt
are 81 each, the boxes, comfortably hold
ing eight persons, cost 81 each on the sec
ond tier. 50 each on the first, third anC
fourth, and 81 on the fifth tier. Each boz
is provided with mirrors, and has rack!
for outer garments. and a suite OF private
apartments for suppers and refreshment
encircle the outside of the passage TO eaci

Municipal indebtedness.

The abuse of the municipal credit system,
the facility with which debts are contracted
the payment of which is relegated to coming
generations, while the inevitable tendency Of
the custom is to obstruct present legitimate
growth, is one of the crying evils OF the day.
The capitalist and the laborer are alike IN
terested in the whole system before the coun-
try finds itself held in mortmain by alien
spcculatiors and our own people are deharred
from seeing any sons OF theirs succeeding TO
the inheritances which should be theirs by
right. This vital question was very fully
discussed by the recent convention ot the
Bankers Association, III New York Among
other Information presented on the subject,
Mr.. Buell. cited the following elaborate sta
tistics. He said: "According to the best i'll
formation | can procure, the aggregate OF
municipal bonds outstanding IN this country
falls very little short of 81, 100, 000, 900. At
an a. cra9e rate of seven per cent the annual
interest on these securities, II 1t were all
mInctualiv met, would require an annual sum
of -. O,tD. U9o of dollars. This outlay tor III
terest alone Is more than the whole eXpcn-
diture of the government of the United States
for some wears after the gold discoveries OF

travacance and administrative prodlgahty
here as in other countries In the United
States there are 4 hundred anu thirty cities
whose financial condition | have had m view
III making these remarks. OF these cities 20
have Il population OF 100, coo and upwards.
Their net total debt, as nearly rs Il can be
ascertained after deducting the sinking funds,
is $40, 100000. Next We have seventeen
cities whose population Is from 10000 to
100. 900. ard whose aggregate Indebtedness
is S45. 900, 900. We have, then, thirty
cities with population of from 20, 00O to
~. 600, and whose aggregate debt amounts
to nearly S55,000,0O0. The total of these
scyenty-four cities Is more than half of that
which | estimate Is the total for the United
States. Their aggregate Is 1893, 3f", 5ol- 1t
is difficult, rs every one Will admit who has
made the attempt, to obtain tie statistics OF
the smaller cities, even III the state OF New
York. IL the Western and Southern States,
the attempt, although involving great labor,
is seldom rewarded by much accurate inior-
nation. For tiftysix cites below .0,coo
population find the total debt IN lU6 was
S5i 600. 900 Hence the one hundred ana
thirty cities whose statistics | have analysed
had in 1876 net debt of S6i4. 3IS, ,663. This
sum is three -lifths of the aggregate estimated
to be that of all the municipalities Of the
country" These figures should give us pause,
and set all men to thinking seriously how
the ever compromising load OF interest and
taxation which they suggest can best be KEPT
within their present limits, II haply snch
consummation so devoutly to be wished car
in any way be effected. Debt is virtual par

a LADY IN PRIsoN.-Mysterious is a
womnns ways. Several weeks ago, a lady,
with bright and pleasing manner, ele-
cantly dressed. arrived in Columbus, o. +,
and after breakafsting at hotel, went to
a station-house to apply for a lodging.
She was given cell on the first floor,
with the privilege of the prison, and she
immediately began to brighten the lives
of the poor prisoners She maze deci-
sive onslaught on the reaches and bed
bugsb scrubbing her cell again and again.
When the woodwork was as neat as soap
and water could make it, she hung some
pictures on the wall, and every day she
has bouquet OF fresh flowers. She has
books in her cell, and sometimes she takes
short walk but when there is anything
to be done for any prisoner, she is ready
| to do IT. When drunken woman is
brought IN and laid on the floor, the
strange lady busies herself through the
night in bathing the poor creatures head
rubbing her hands and feet. and bringing
her to her better self The expense to the
city of keeping this ministering angel in
its prison is not great. She lives ON bread
and water.

PASSING AWAY.
Passing away passing

Passing away passing away:
The sweet Summer roses are passing away;
Their beauty IS wasted, their fragrance has
fled,
And with ring they lie in their damp, lowly
bed.
The fair, dewy morns in their splendor will
The pale stars glow soft in evenings clear
skies;
The calling dew fall, and the musical rain,
But these roses will brighten, ah, never again.
Passing away passing away;
Bright hopes of my youth-hoW they're pass
ing away,
With the beautiful visions that gladden. my
eyes
BY daytime and nighttime, as sunlight the
skies
Oh, hope may come back to my sorrowful
heart.
Bright dreams from their long-silent cham
bers may start
But those of my youth may WOO all in vain,
For they neer will return in their beauty
again,
Passin. away; passing away;
Friends | have loved-how they're passing
away
| have watched them go down to that cold,
solemn tide,
While the pale, silent boatman kept close to
their side:
I've caught the dull dip of their deep. muf
fled car,
As he bore them away to that echoless shore,
And my heart cryeth out in its desolate pam,
But they ne re Will return To bless NE again,
Passing away; passing away;
Yet know of land where there is no decay,
Where the halmy airs filled with the rich
est perfume
From sweet, fragrant flowers, and fadeless
their bloom;
Where the soul never grieves as it doth here
below.
Der fair, vanished dreams, DER hopes titful
glow,
Where linked and forever is loves golden
chain,
And parting words chill us. o, never again

JosEPHs s GRAVE.

The old chief Joseph, father of the
young chief Joseph, was a steadfast friend
to his white brethern; it is asserted that
none of his tribe ever injured single
white man. The remains of the great
chief, So beloved by his people, lie Just a

make junction the grave yard is well
chosen, being upon beautiful hillock and
in an enchanted place, beautiful cedars
and pine growing IN the level plain below,
watered by gushing springs and the silver
ripples of the classic Wallowa- The tribe
visit the grave of the deceased chief an

bough and throw it upon the grave, or
some other token of remembrance. In
