evening says There was great deal OF ex
citement in municipal circles this morning
upon the receipt Of the intelligence that
Mayor Bryant was to be arrested to-day on
twenty charges OF grand larceny, growing
out of the Dupont street transactions. Inc
matter was somewhat veiled in mystery, and
the name of the complainant could not be
ascertained, but it was currently believed
that A. A. Cohen was somewhere behind the
scenes. It was also reported that Bryant
was aware of what was going on anI was
prepared to give bonds to answer the charges.
With some difficulty the Post succeeded IN
getting access to copies of the complaints.
There are Just twenty OF them, and they re-
late to the issuance of that number Of
Dupont street warrants. 1t is alleged that
Bryant fraudulently issued these warrants
and that upon them money was Oh.
tanned from the city treasury, and that
therefore the offense of grand larceny was
committed by Bryant Up to o'clock no
application haa been made to Judge Louder
back, in whose court it is reported the case
will be brought, for warrants for Bryant's

Mrs. Van Cott on Her Dignity

Our Methodist friends quondam local
revivalist, the Widow Van Cott, seem
to be in the condition of Jeshurun, who,
as we are told, "waxed fat and kicked" ."
After twelve days lauor in Pough-
keepsie, with small spiritual returns, she
received cor 'espondin. pecuniary ac-
knowledgemcnts-a collection of $36.
She sent it back to the pastor with this
strikingly spiritual note; "If that was
intended as compensation for twelve
days severe toll, allow me in the name
of Him whom | serve, to say, with
Christian I'VE, return it with my COM
pliments. prefer toiling without
money or price rather than bear so gross
an insult 70 my tolls" The long-suler.
ing parS ! replied that she had come to
Poughkrcpsie on her own motion and
had received as much money as he was
paid for TIE same period Of service, only
while ha had to support his family out
of it, she had her expenses borne by the
church. These letters were read in a
public meeting, after which Mrs. Van
Cott magnanimously forgave the minister
but he did not forgive her. remarking
by way of farewell that she tried to
make trouble between his church and
himself. Springfield Republican.

The grave, historical student may not

WINGED that it is; and believe the guitar

prove that any such nightly love song as
the true Peninsuar serenade. SO accom-
panied, was ever poured forth under the
windows of any lady whatever till the
Saracens invaded Europe. The Greeks
knew nothing Of the sort; ;heir domestic
institutions were quite oppos d to such
proceedings; So indeed were, and still
are, those of the Moslems of Spain ana

passion song, nor, to the best OF my
belief, did any barbarian nation. Again,
the serenade has never thriven in any
land beyond those countries in which
the Arabs first taught it: In Provence, in
troubadour times, it was custom; in
Italy, in Spain and Portugal 1t has never
died out. /
The serenade in these Southern coun-
tries of course have none OF that foolish
flavor of romance which we. who fire.
quent the opera and have heard the SER
enade in "Don Juan" dozen times,
connect with it. 1t is nothing more
than delicate compliment to the object
OF mans affections, and means no more
than when an Epglishman gives his
bride an engaged ring, Frenchman a
box of bohbons or a bouquet or thar
when q German sends his sweetheart II
pound OF knodels or a Strasburg sau-
sage.
Not but that the serenade is rare

attention in the field of controversy. The

the street at about SO or SO share
The San Francisco stock papers have
published from time to time the most
glowing descriptions of the property,

read them the innocent investor would
think that the Alexander was the most
valuable silver mine opened off the Com.
