Aid. Lawler-1 want to say that il the night

to express bimselE I find that the Cor
poration Counsel replied to the Mayor
a few days ago, stating that it was
in the power of the Fire-Marshal to make
a reduction or discharge the men, On the 18th
OF June AIR. B cnuer wrote letter to the Cor
poration Counsel. This letter, which the
Alderman proceeded to read, asked for advice
as to whether. he {Beonsr) bad the right to re-
duce the mems salaries, aud whether By so do

TIE CURE FOR GOSSIP. .-Everyb
must talk about something. The poor
teTlow who was told not to talk for fear
that the people would find out that be was
Il fool, made nothing By the experiment.
lie was considered fool because be did
not talk on some subject or other. Every
body must have something to say, or give
up society. Of course, the topics Of con-
versatioh will relate TO the subjects Of

II be is an enthusiast In ert he

30 with social and religious question:
"Out Of the abundance Of the heart the
mouth speaketh." !" That of which the
mind is fall, that with which it Is fur
hished, will come out in expression.
The very simple reason why the world
Is full Of gossip is that those who indulge
in it have nothing else in them. They
must interest themselves in something.
They known nothing but what they learn
from day to day in intercourse with and
observation of their neighbors. What
these neigh oors do, what they say, what
happens to them in their social and bust
ness affairs, what they wear, these become
the questions Of supreme interest. The
personal and social lite around them-this
is the book under constant porusal, and
out of this comes that pestilerous c5nyer-
sation which we call gossip. The world
is full of It, and in million houses, all
over the country, nothing is talked Of but
the personal affairs of neighbors.
What is the cure for gossip Simply
culture. There is great deal of gossip
that has no nalignity in it. Good ma
tursd people talk about their neighbors
because, and only because, they have
nothing else TO talk about.
Gossip is always personal confession
either Of malice or imbecilty, and tie
young should not only shun it, but by the
most thorough culture relieve themselves
from all temptation to indulge it. It's
low, frivolous, and too often a dirty busi-
ness. There are country neigbberhoods
in which it RACES Ike a pest. Churches
are split in pieces by it. Neighbors make
enemies by it for life. In many persons
it degenerates into chronic disease
which is practically incuraJle. Let the
young cure it while they may.--FHHadcl.

A MOUNTAIN MAIDS FRoLIC.-Over
in North Denver lives a pretty, slender
and graceful young lady, who imagincs
that her sex deprives her Of great many
pleasures which she might otherwise en-
joy. Impressed with this idea, she, a few
evenings since, donned male attire and
went upon a tour Of investigation. She
visited one or two Of her female acquain-
tances, and had delightful time making
love to them. But as the hours began 10
wax late, she thought it advisable to get
home. After a vain effort to persuade her
young lady friends TO accompany her, She
started alone, cooking her hat jauntily on
one side, and staggering into the street
with an exaggerated idea of masculine
walk. A few steps from the door, how
ever, she heard rapid footsteps behind
her, and, imagining that she was pursued,
her feminine instincts counseled flight,
and she darted away. This inconsiderato
action precipitated the danger she dreaded
and the man behind her seeing the sudden
flight Of the well dressed youth, gave
chase. The frolic was converted into a
stampede. The girls feet, winged with
terror, fairly flew over the ground, and
close at her heels came the relentless pur-
suer. She dashed through the gate, and
not waiting TO unfasten the door when she
reached home, dashed her weight against
1t and went sprawling into the middle Of
the floor. Her father, who was no. aware
OF her escapade and who had just retired
for the night, naturally supposed that his
premises had been Invaded by burglar.
and with loud cry Of fury sprang up TO
expel the intruder. But the girl was now
fairly beside herself with terror, ami her
shrieks rung out with an energy and ve
hemence that bewildered while il appalled,
her venerable parent. Ho sprang to the
lamp and turned up the light, and in
stead OF the ferocous features of the
burglar and assassin, beheld the terror
stricken countenance of his little lamb.
vi course, explanations followed. and her
mother came to her assistance, but it a
presumed the old man read the young
damsel pretty severe lesson on the
proprieties Of life. Anyway she is no
longer given to masquerades male attire.
