| In closing the last annual report, l
said: Invoking the aid of all good
citizens, the new city government pre-
pose to go forward and with the utmost
pruden and economy in the adminise
tration of our municipal! affairs endeav-
or to place our city on a firm founda
ton and reoestablish its'cretiit." What
l then expressed as an earnest purpose
on our part is to-day an accomplished
fact. After many weary months of un-
certainty, annoyance and discourage>
ment, we at last stand on firm ground
and are backed by unquestionable au
tbority,
The bill prepared at the instance of
the city government and introduced in
10 Congress by Delegate Jacobs, defn-
ing section 1880 of the revised statutes,
and confirming our city charter and
its amendments, passed both houses G
Congress without opposition and w
signed by the President and became
Law on the 95h of June.
This question being finally settled. it
will be the duty of the incoming adj
linistIation to go forward in the spirit
of justice AID fair play and enforce the
laws and ordinances and collect the
revenues cf the city, and compel. if ne,

Attempted ROBBERY of Jewels.

On Wednesday night a skilfully
planned attempt to carry off the
jewels of Lady Rosebery was
made at Petworth House, Sussex,
the seat of Lord Lecontield, at
which Lord and Lady Rosebery
are spending their honeymoon.
Itappears tina. the dressing-room
Of her ladyship is situated the
back portion Of the mansion,
overlooking a retired courtyard.
On the night in question, while
the guests in the house were at
dinner, one of the men servants,
on passing through the court
yard, noticed a peculiar filcke
ing light in the window Of the
dressing room, the blinds OF
which were down. He stood for
q moment looking at the window,
when, observing the forms Of
two persons moving about, it oc-
cnrred to him that something
was wrong. He at once, with
out entering the house, rang
bell attached to the exterior of
the mansion for alarm purposes.
This had the affect of disturbing
the robbers, who escaped by /.
ladder placed perpendicularly
against the wall, and which the
man servant who had raised the
alarm had failed, IN consequence
Of the darkness, to observe. The
dressing-room door was found to
be locked from the outside, and
on admission being gained it was
discovered that the robbers had
not succeeded in stealing any
booty. This was due to the fact
that the jewel case of Lady Rose
berry were placed IN a strong
iron case, instead of being, as is
generally the custom, left on the
table. The police have failed to
obtain any clew to the culprits.-

Compassion for those left behind ar
rests comment upon such terrible acts
as that by which the eX-vice president
of the New York Stock EXchan ,e ends
cd his life We have no desire to add
a papg to the keen suffering of Mr..
Wheelock's family, but the growing
frequency of the resort to suicide Tor
ending what, to the unfortunate being,
seems hopeless struggle with adverse
circumstance, demands word: Here
was a gentleman who for a quarter CT
century held position of high honor
in the community of money. Cons

the most prudent, and the fact that he
was afterwards reelected to the vice.
presidency shows that his failure had
not impaired his reputation, although
his credit had naturally fallen. He
made further losses, and at last had
but his salary from the Stock Exchane e
to depend on. AS happens often. when
a man has little that little is taken
away. Last month another candidate
was successful in the Stock Exchange
election, ard the long noticsd mental
depression Of yesterday settled into de-
cided despondency. A false relief was
sought in stlmulants, only to bring col
responding reactions to gloom. and IN
one the man took his own life. His
business career had for over twelve
month been downward. but surely that
was the time for the will to bear him
up, the very time for the avoidance OF
the dangerous remedy of alcohol. 1t is
wonderful what man may bear and
NAV suimount. We see the wicked day
after day avoiding the effects Of their
misdeeds and fighting against the con-
science of the world with untiring vigor.
1t is the Wheelocks and not the 1weeds
who commit suicide. No depth of dis>
grace, no suffering so great but the
bad man will make virtue to himself
of his efforts to better his condition.
Why should the man who is simply un-
fortunate show less grit than the rogue ?

The SeaIcd Cesket:

The steamer Gen. Terry in her
recent tlip up the Missouri river
discharged some freight at NJ
Kenz;e's Landing, a short dis
tancc above Cheyenne Agency,
and put off some men to remain
in charge of it. During their
stay there they tished out OF the
river Il bottle having paper in
side, on which was written the
following: ~ have been sur
rounded by Indians for eight
days and have killed six Of them.
They have wounded me and |
am dying" Our informant, Il
gentleman of 7eracity, knew the
signature and date OF the note,
but had forgotten it before We
saw him.
1t may be this IS a sell perpe-
trated by some thoughtless per
son, or it may be the relation Of
an unhappy fact. Some brave
unfortunate may have been sur
rounded by the red devils and
yielded up his life after defend
ing it as bravely as circum-
stances would admit Of. If that
be 50, it must have been at some
recent date. But where, when
and who was this unfortunate,
and the questions that will prob
ably rever be answered through
all eternity, How he went down
to death far from friends, with
out a comrade to close his eyes
in death, we can only picture to
ourselves. But if it all be true,
there is no doubt that he died Il
brave nan, for none but brave
man could in the eyes OF impend-
ing death, have had the courage
and presence Of mind to have
taken the onl y means left at his
command to communicate with
the outside world and inform
them of his fate.

Aleck, after laying aside the sheet,
and brushing the -four from his hair,
went out to see how his dinner was pro-

him as he entered the room. "What
does this meanf" he exclaimed, and
May, who had followed him to ascertain

stood gazing on the scene.
The stove was covered with curious

suddenly, it rolled on the floor, while he
executed a war dance around it, occa

AFTER DARK,

When twilight gathers in her sheaves,
And wheeling swallows skim the fiume,
The plowman, turning homeward, leaves
His pillow mid-furrow in the broom,
And through the melancholy eyes
The orange rdops its milk-white bloom.
The old delights that go and come
Through sorrow, in the falling dew,
Like waves that wore a wreath of foam
The darker that the waters grew,
Flow reund my solitary home
At evening, when the stars are few.
So, sad and sweet as bridal tears
For broken homes, to see withdraw
The child we love, have gone the years
We climbed the frosty hills, and saw
Descend on all the frozen meres
The sunlight breaking through the thaw.
Like one who in the driving snow,
When at the untrodden paths are dim,
Hears far-off voices, faint and low,
Across the woodland calling him,
hear the loved of long ago
Singing among the seraphim.
And as the soft, assembling light
Falls, shadowing into dusty red,
] think how beautiful the night
With gathering stars is ovespread,
Like seeds of many an old delight
Through sheaves of sorrow harvested.
