At the meeting of the City Council, Tuesday,
Mr.. Edwards, Administrator Of Public Build
ings, under whose control the Insane Asylum
is, presented lengthy and, we think, q salts.
factory reply to the charges of the Grand Jury.
The Mayor stated that he was sstisfed that
the Jury were entirely mistaken as to the Asy-
lum. 1t had never in ten years, been 30 we'll
managed as at present. Two ladies who had
daughters there had called on him that morn
ing to express their perfect satisfaction with
the establishment and to state that, in their
opinion, the report wss tissue of mi axes
from beginning to end.
Mr.. Diamond, Administrator of Police, under
whose jurisdiction the House of Refuge is, re-
ported that he had suspended the officers in
charge of that institution and asked for the
appointment of q committee to invt stigate the
matter. On motion o committee, constituted
as follows, was appointed: Mayor PILE bury,
Administrators McCsfrey and Rsngstorf, and
DR. Chopin, President Board of Health.
The committee visited the House of Refuge
Friday. Further comment on the subject is
post pOned till we shall have heard their report
which will probably be made to the Council
Tuesday.
As to the Insane Asylum, several successive |
Grand JuIies, committee of Physicians, the |
Mayor and Administrator Ed " ards sill CONCUR |

for an Insane Asylum is not adapted for such /
purposes and that it would be better to give |

Twenty Years Trying to Move.

Twenty years ago gentleman living
along the Tennessee line, not more than
thirty-fve or forty miles from Glasgow,
concluded TO move to California. The
proposition met the cordial assent OF all
his family. Everything was shaped to-
ward the removal. When the time came
the land was unsold and some business
remained unsettled. 1t was agreed that
the mother and remainder of the family,
except the father, should commence the
move, which in those days consumed
months in making. The father re-
mained to settle up the affairs and sell
the farm, intending to start as soon as
he could wind up. The gentlemen set
himself to work, but found it an uphill
business to adjust his affairs, and could
find no suitable purchaser for his land.
Two or three years passed in fruitless
efforts to get ready to leave, and eventu-
ally the muttering of war was heard,
and speedily the blaze of civil discord
caused all hope of family reunion to
vanish until the conflict should pass.
The war over things were in no shape
for immigration. Time passed on until
the gentleman has reached an old age,
and infrmities have taken hold of him,
aud now the probability of the family
meeting beyond the grave is all that
lights up the hopes of either wing Of
the long separated family. The family
were Dound together by the stronge at

most painful one. 1t is certa My mos

A FOrgetful Bridegroom.

An absent-minded gentleman in St.
Paul, Mimi, recently applied to the
county clerk for a marriage license.
"What's the brides name ?" asked the
official. The bridegroom paused,
coughed, suffered, sneezed, blew his
nose, scratched his head, and finally
stammered: 81 can't recall it, but I'll
go and ask her." Having obtained the
desired information. he returned and
paid the fees for the license. A few
days afterward he took his bride to a
minister's house, and proclaimed his
anxiety to be married ON the spot. The
minister said that he would marry them
if they had procured license. The
bridegroom rummaged in his pockets
and found it not. He had forgotten to
bring it with him. 81 must have the
warrant" said the minister solemnly.
The bride handed her prospective lord
the keys of his trunk, and he set out for
his house to fetch the document. The
marriage ceremony was finally per-
formed, but the lady was Ill ct ease.
"What comfort can i have, "she unused,
if he can't remember anything" She
forsook him that very afternoon, and
hastened home to her motnes

The English Channel Tunnel.

Operations connected with the sub
marine tunnel have already been COM
menced on the French side of the chan
mel, several pits having been sunk to q
depth of ITO yards At the same time
the French and English committees
have definitely drawn up the conditions
of working for the route. The property
of the tunnel is to be divided in half by
the length; that is to say, each company
is to possess half of the line, reckoning
the distance from coast to coast at low
tide. Each company will cover the ex-
penses of its portion. The generul work
of excavation will be done, on the one
hand, by the Great Northern of France,
and on the other by the Chatham and
Southeastern companies, the two latter
having each direct route from London
to Dover. All the materials of the
French and English lines will pass
through the tunnel in order to prevent
unnecessary expenses and delay of trans
shipment, as in England and in France
railway companies use each others line,
and goods can pass from one line to
another without changing vans. 1t is
understood that an arrangement will be
established for a similar exchange of
lines between all the English and conti-
mental railway companies Yhen the tun-
mel is completed. The tunael will be-
long to its founders. At the expiration
of thirty years the government will be
able to take possession of the tunnel upon
certain conditions. Mining Journal.

A Bite.

In Chilli there is an elderly farmer who
is passionately fond of sport-especially
fishing and hunting-and he has a son
who is chip of the old block in that as
we'll as in other respects.
One day last summer the old gentle
man left home, but before going set his
boy at a job he, was anxious to have
done. Returning sooner than he was
expected, he found that the boy was
missing.
Where's Tom?" he growled, as he
entered the kitchen.
Gone fishing" said the girl.
4" Fishing the rascal; I'll fish him
when catch him."
And away the angry old fellow went
for the brook. Coming within hailing
distance of his hopeful son, who was
bending eagerly over the stream, the
father yelled:>
Tom you scoundrel, Tom -
There was a deprecating movement
of one hand on the part of the boy, who
did not, however, turn his head. Still
more angry the avenging parent came
nearer and bawled out
"I'll learn you to stay home and work
when"
"Sh sh sh | father" said young
Isaac Walton. "Ive got bite"
The old fellows passion perceptibly
cooled at that announcement, and, lucky
for the boy, the latter just then hauled
up handsome perch. This was too
much for the dad, who sprang forward
and helped unhook the fish, and then
"Tom, have you got another hook p

A Minnesota Hotel.

A Pennington correspondent of the
Easport Sentinel writes as follows 81
rode to the first-class hotel it was a
covered frame ON stills, and barely par
titioned off inside with laths. Every
one washed from the same tin dish, and
wiped upon the same towel the fare
was tough steak and tougher biscuit
the beds were mere boxes on legs, and
filed with coarse meadow hay. No
doors to the rooms, nor nails to hang q
coat, no stand or even chair to put a
lamp on but mine host just dropped
some grease from his dip upon the floor,
into which he inserted his candle, and
bade me make myself comfortable. Now
L had hired the "private room" at an
extra price, with no understanding that
it was to be all my own for the night,
and, of course, the only safety for the
money was to put it to bed. So you
may imagine my serenity when at twelve
midnight in bounced a straggler in long
boots; the landlord had sent him up, he
said, as mine was the only bed with but
one in it. In the morning
found that about forty persons had
been lying right ACROSS the long entry
between the rooms, with only here and
there blanket among them, and they
snored on as walked over them. After
breakfast the landlord told us all to
come out and square the house into
plaee-it had been moved ON its bed in
the night by the wind. Leaning ON a
long rail as lever. we all bore our
weight upon it. and the first-class hotel
came into place again. But now, mark
me, that place is county seat, has a
court house and other fine buildings,
with churches, two newspapers, and
really more than one " first-class "hotel.
And this is a sample of hundreds of
places on the prairies.

Reckless Competition,

A couple of stationers living opposite
to each other in seaside resort on tho
south coast of England recently got at
loggerheads. One of them, in order to
draw his neighbor's customers. piled
his window with shilling packets of note
paper marked at elevenpence. People
stared, walked in ana purchased. The
next morning, when the other mans
shutters were taken down, the window
was filled with shilling packets OF note
paper marked eightpence. Day by day
this little game went on, one under
selling the other until prices gradually
dropped to sixpence, fiyepence, four
pence, threepence and twopence.
By this time the town saw ana en-
ioyed the Joke; and, Notwithstanding
the efforts made to keep the sales down,
by taking at least ten minutes to seal or
tie up every purchase, thetw statoners
were heavy sufferers, and every man,
woman and child in the town was stocked
with enough note paper to last them
half lifetime. However, the fight
went on, each man devoutly wishing he
had stuck to his legitimate trade, and
had not tried to undersell his neighbor.
The following morning the "2d." day
found the opposite window with the
shilling packets Id. This was too much.
Within ten minutes an enormous pla-
card obscured the windows of the other
man, bearing in huge letters, the words;
Go to the fool opposite." But the
"fool opposite had had enough. In
a few minutes the penny ticket disap-
peared, and in its place the old price,
one shilling. In twinklipg down came
the poster bearing the obnoxious words,
and an exactly similar placard appeared,
announcing that "the price of a shilling
packet of note paper is one shilling. u
And thus the war of determination
ended.
