consideration OF economy and con
venence urged the use Of it for railroad
purposes, and the adoption of the ordi-
nance before the council, would, at once
and forever, close out all hope or prospect
OF employing the strip for the purposes
originally intended. Alderman Lincgar re-
piled, that he agreed with Alderman Pa
tier; the strip was the place for the rail
roads, and it was only when he saw that
further effort to persuade or drive them
there would be futile, that he favored diff
ferent disposition Of the ground. The Hi
nois Central was fixed on the Ohio levee,
and was, to all intents and purposes i'm
movable. The Cairo and St. Louis railroad
had acquired, by purchase, the right Of way
on the easterly side Of the city, and rs the
best interests Of the road, and, in fact, the
necessities of its existence depended upon
use OF that right Of way, it was folly to
expect that company to seek or accept any
other means of access with the city So
with the Cairo and Vincennes railroad
That company had secured, and during the
summer would employ, right of way on
the castcry side Of the city, Commercial!
avenue might, and probably would, cor
tinue to be used by the company's passen-
ger trains, but that any contingency would
arise that might induce or compel the con-
pany to use the railroad strip, was no.
among the probabilities of the present or
future. "And properly canvassng the
probable needs Of our traffic, continued al
derman Linegar, lit is not among the prob
abilities of the next half century, that We
will have another railroad coming in from
the north. Ample provision for the needs
of both travel and trade seems to have been
provided, in that direction. II there fore
follows that should we hold the railroad
strip indefinitely for railroad uses. it would
remain as now, unoccupied. Since, then,
there IS no likelihood Of It's being used BY
our railroads, actual or prospective, an,
forced into the support of this ordinance
tia, seeks the next best disposition OF il.
II is an eye-sore and Nuisance TO the
city in its prescnt condition,
and hold it TO be best
for all the interests concerned, that the city
and the public profit by its disposition, a,
contemplated by the ordinance under con
sidsration." Upon a vote upon a motion to
adopt the ordinance, taken soon afterwards.
five aldermen voted aye, and three voted
nay, Less than majority of the whole
city council voting affirmatiyely, the mo
ton to adopt was declared not carried The
ordinance will likely come up, however, on
amotion TO reconsider, at the next meeting
of the city council.

A Texas Story.

Texas preachers are said to be very
eccentric. and their mild unnatural
ness has given rise to great many re-
marks and few stories. 4 The follow
ing narrative was told us confdentially
by slander:
A minister arose before a large
audience, took his text and began
preaching. A brisk firing Of pistols
began on the outside Of the church. ?
Brother Deacon" said the min

very nearly conyinced." he continued
as apiece ofplastcrins fell from the
wall close to his head. ia. .,~-

some one else." replied the deacon,
The minister raised tumbler Of
water, and was in the act OF applying
his lips, when the glass fell, shattered
by shot. eiate s,il .atffg Jra
"This is an inuendo no longer, said

Registering Women Voters in
Boston.

We are indebted to a "staff cores
pondent" for the following anecdote
concerning the recent registration of
female voters in Boston. Its accuracy
is vouched for by an eminent artist
one Of the most distinguished stone
cutter Of the Hub.
Enter old lady of certain age.
l wish to register, sir.
Your name, please?
Almira Jane Simpson. tHl
Your age? r.
Beg pardon.
Your age? -s .mst.al
Do | understand that must give
my age? afl
Yes, Miss, the law requires it.
Worlds, sir. would not tempt me to
give it! Not that l care. No; had
as lief wear it on my bonnet as hack
man does his number; but I'm a twin,
and if my sister has a weakness. it is
that she dislikes any reference made
to her age; and | could not give my
own, because | don't wish to offend
her.-Editor's Drawer, in Harper's
Magazine for May. 2A tn
