Besides. q wife is . convenient thing
to have about the house.
She is handy to swear a. when you
cut yourself with q razor, and don'i
feel like blaming yourself.
Woman is q superior being in Mass
schusetts.
There are about 10000 more of her
sex than males in the State.
This accounts for the terrified. hunt
ed down expression Of the single men
who emigrate from the East.
Wsman was not crested perfect.
She ~ her faults such as false hair
false complexion, and so on.
But she is o great deal better than
her neighbors, and she knows it.
Eve was q woman.
She must have been model wife, for
it cost Adam nothing to keep her IN
clothes. iftSf

After Their Money.

The clerks in the Water Registrars Office
found no time yesterday for idling nni the
District government certainly obtained the
equivalent of the salaries paid to them. The
rush Of citizens to tho office to have their water
bills revised aud the amount of drawback
stated was great aud kept the room and nd
joining hall thronged during the hours set
apart for rcfunding-so much so that police.
mau was required to keep them in line.
After the bills were corrected in tho regis.
trars Office, the holders carried them to that
of the treasurer, where r second entry was
made, and then the party presenting the same
was paid tho balance due by u check on the
| United States Treasury.
There being neither railing nor any other pro-
lection from crowd in Mr.. Dodges office, that
| gentleman was almost overrun by persons
anxious to obtain their money, and the worthy
| treasurer was compelled to call halt several
times during the day, press the throng back,
AMI try to obtain few minutes respite for n
breathing spell. There is no need of such a
| rush. The money is there to pay everybody
entitled to receive it, aud there is an abund-
| ancc of time in which to do the rcfunding. If
the taxpayers will observe less haste in their
anxiety to recover the ovcrpaid water reut,
they will give the officials more room, n better
opportunity to work, and, as consequence,
business will be greatly expedited.

workinGmen's Claims to be Paid.

The First Comptroller of the Treasury has
determined that all remaining claims filed by
workingmen under the act of June 20, 1878,
shall be passed upon before the 18th of Septcm-
Der prox., and that on that day all claims al
lowed shall be paid. They will be paid at the
Treasury building through discussing OIL
Ger. Notice will be given before the day OF
payment of the amount allowed to each suc-
cessful claimant, and each mans amount will
have been set apart by the time for payment,
so that he can be paid Immediately after being
identified The fund is sufficient to pay in
full all claims that can be allowed. Many
claims will have to be disallowed because the
contractors under whom the work was done
were not paid before June %, 1874 the law not
allowing any claim to be paid where the con-
tractor was paid prior to that datc. The at
tention of Congress was called especially to
this feature of the law, but it omitted to make
any change. Delay in tho payment of claims
long since allowed has been occasioncd ncces.

should be passed upon before any should be

Additional Wagons for the Garbage servle,

Notwithstanding the empo, ment of a
largely increased force in the garbage service,
there are still complaints from all parts of the
city that the collections are not made prompt
ly. Usually only twelve wagons are employed
in making the collections. and this number
has been found to be sufficient under ordi-
nary circumstances. The fruit season, how
ever. adds largely to the work to be done by
the department To meet the demand, nine
wagons were recently added to the force,
making twenty-one in all. Even that mum
ber does not appear sufficient for the service
at the present season. Health officer Towns
hend yesterday had talk with the garbage
contractor, and it was determined to add FIVE
more wagons to the force in order that col.
lections may be made promptly everywhere,
and there may be 10 cause of complaint. The
amount of garbage to be removed, during the
greater portion of tho year averages about 100
tons per week. Recently it has increased to 400
tons per week. the wagons sometimes collect.
ing 20 tons in a single day.
