Board Of Aldermen,

The Board of Aldermen met yesterday
afternoon, President Refs in the chair.
A resolution was adopted calling the at
tention of the City Commissioners to the
fact that the Consolidated Street Railway
Company was violating the street railroad
ordinance by failing to run cars after mid
night at intervals OF not more than one
hour. An all night gas-light-time table
was adopted.
The Steam Railroad Committee reported
back, without recommendation, a resolu-
ton granting the Little Miami Railroad
Company the privilege of laying track to
connect their Eggleston line with the ele-
vator at the locks and to continue the track
across Ninth and Court streets, along
side basin. The matter was referred to .
Special Committee of three.
An ordinance providing against the erec-
ton of powder magazine inside the city
limits was passed.
The report of the Select Committee ap.
pointed to get information relative to as
sessments under the bond plan, was read
and referred to the City Solicitor.
The Select Committee in charge of the
Holly system of steam-heating, reported in
favor Of the ordinance. The report was

WHO HAS TO PAY THE FIDDLER,

1t is bad to let the public know that it
has been humbugged. u weakens the
public confidence in things, and to a GER
tain extent demoralizes it. An honest be-
lief in the genuineness Of something is
necessary to the well-being Of society.
The recent demonstrations welcoming
home rather a worthy citizen were, to
quite liberal extent, the outpourings
Of popular regard, but just how much of
this gushing enth usiasm was the sponta-
neous tribute Of the people, and how
much of it was matter of political
merchandise, bought and paid for, for a
purpose, can only be inferred. A great
many hundred thousand dollars have
been squandered by municipalities that
could ill afford to add any more to the
burdens Of an overtaxed people, and by
individuals, to give General Grant roy

Without creation, man has enormous
power over nature. He can, and daily
does, overpower her laws, or seemingly
make them work as he pleases. Despite
the law of gravity, he ascends to the sky
in balloon; he makes water spring up
in fountains; he makes vessels, weighing
thousands of tons, float on the seas. Des-
pite cohesion, he grinds rocks to powder;
despite chemical affinity, he transmutes
into myriads of different forms the few
elements of which all matter consists;
despite the resistless power of the thun-
derbolt, he tames electricity to be his
servant or his harmless toy. With water
and fire he molds into shape mighty
masses of metal; he shoots, at sus-
tanned speed beyond that of birds. across
valleys and through mountain ranges;
he unites seas which continents had sep
arated; there is nothing in the whole
earth which he has not subdued. or does
not hope to subdue, to his use.
There is hardly physical miracle
which he does not feel he can, or may
yet, perform. But all this wonderful,
this boundless, power over material laws
is gained by these laws. He alters no
property of matter, but he uses one prop
erty or another as he needs, and he uses
one property to overpower another. 1t
is by knowing thatgravity is more power.
full in the case of air than in the case of
hydrogen gas that he makes air sustain
him as he floats, beneath bag of hydro
gen, above the earth. 1t is by knowing
that it is more powerful in water than in
air that he sails in iron ships; it is by
knowing chemical affinity or repulsion
that he makes the compounds or extracts
the simple elements he desires; it is by
knowing that affinity is force, and that
force is transmutable into electricity that
he makes messenger of the obedient
lightning shock; it is by knowing that
heat, itself unknown, causes gases to ex-
pand, that he makes machines of sense
less iron do the work of intelligent
giants. He subdues nature by under
standing nature. He creates no property.
He, therefore, performs no miracle,
though he does marvels.

THE WHY AND WHEREFORE.

The mystery of sudden and severe
changes of the weather, and the preva-
lence of excessive drouth or moisture in
certain localities; of unusual mildness of
winter or excessive heat of summer on
one continent and the opposite extreme
in the same latitude on another is SEEM
ingly past finding out. 1t is true that we
are arriving at means of predicting at
mospheric vicissitudes in wide areas of
territory with reasonable approximation
to accuracy by watching the ther-
mometrical and barometrical indi-
cations through the Briarean rami-
ications Of the telegraph, but still
why we should have the weather of
June in Cincinnati, the lilacs and cherry
buds starting into activity, and the
spring dafodils peeping up from their
beds as they usually do in April, while
the Seine is closed up to few days
since with ice to bear up cart horse
with safety in crossing, and the snow
drifts shoveled from the Champs Elysees
at Paris is piled in drifts fifteen feet deep
among the tileuls and horse chestnuts
that border that avenue; while the
SHOWS on the Roman Campagna between
that city and Naples is sufficient to
block the passage of railway trains;
while the ice congeals the lagoons of
sea built Venice; while the Rhine and
Main are ice-bound and transports with
their cargoes of grain are solidly frozen
in the lower Danube; while the stolid
Turks shiver in the unprecedented cold
of the streets of Constantinople. 1t is
difficult to account for the singular phe-
nomenon. 1t is true that the winter sea-
son is only little past the middle mile
post and Boreal blasts and frost and snow
may descend from the Northwest some
of these fine mornings to make us forget
but too suddenly the genial weather we
have been having hereabouts, but still it
does not account for the difference in the
temperature IN this partot the world and
in Europe thus far this season; nor
for that matter, just what sent the ther-
mometer suddenly down to So degrees in
Northern Minnesota the other day
while Jacksonville and New Orleans
were sweltering with heat of IS on
Christmas morning. Perhaps we should
not be any happier if we knew all these
things, but, if we were able to compre-
hend all the causes, we could have the
satisfaction Of saying II told you so,'
when a neighbor neglected the precau-
ton Of suitably covering his vegetables
in the fall, or friend had his water pipes
burst in sudden fall of the thermom.
eter, and it is possible we might render
life and property more secure in the
preparations, the considerate might take
to guard against these unexpected vicis
situdes of weather.

This would all have passed off without
any special comment as the exuberance
of calm world and prosperous place if
it had not been for the unfortunate de-
velopments that have followed his visit
to Philadelphia. 1t now appears that be-
fore that city took any steps to give the
General reception that should compare
well with the ovations in Chicago, Lou
isville, Cincinnati and Columbus, the
President of the Council of that city was
informed that two or three personal
friends would pay all expenses attending
the reception. Upon that assurance the
''hospitables" of the Quaker City were
extended literally and Spontaneously"
But the two or three personal
friends" of the Generals, amongst
whom stand Mr.. George w. Childs, the
obituary poet laureate of the world, now
refuse to foot the bills, and the city has
been compelled to add $4,000 to its
municipal debt in order to meet the
days jubilation. Among other items is
a bill for $10O for music furnished at the
dinner party given by Mr.. Child's at his
private residence; also bill for $3.50 for
music furnished at the Mayors house.
Twenty-four guests of the city, among
whom figure Generals Porter, Burnside,
Kirby Smith, the Rev. DIR. Newman, the
Camerons, father and son, ran up a bill
of $406 at the Continental Hotel, which
the city has had to pay. This gives
these worthy gentlemen the average of
SIG 81 of right down old-fashioned juicy
enjoyment for few hours in first-class
caravansary at the expense of the tax
payers of Philadelphia.
Altogether the Grant boom has had a
fitting finale, but how it happens that
the liberal, public-spirited and immense
ly wealthy Childs should have gone back
ON his undertaking to foot the bills is
passing strange.

THE popularity of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher with his Plymouth Church, in
Brooklyn, New York, appears to be
perennial. At the sale of pews, which
took place on the evening of the 9th
instant, the large sum of $40,2S9 was
realized. The Church contains 300
pews, all told, and these were valued at
an average ola little over $42 each. All
were sold except three, set apart for the
families of Mr.. Beecher and Mr.. Halli-
day, the assistant pastor of the Church,
and the two most eligibly situated, in
addition to the assessed price of the
pews, brought premium of $500
each. The one thought next most
desirable brought premium of $3.50;
the two next, $4OO; the fourteen next,
$500 each. Forty-one pews were sold
before the amount Of premium bid was
less than 5000. The sixty next following
from 5000 down to 800 premium over
assessed value. The total amount of
premiums bid aggregated s27 ,437, which
with the $12,852 at which the three hun
dred pews were valued, makes the sum
total $40, ,2S9, very pretty sum indeed
to be paid by congregation for the
privilege Of listening to popular pulpit
orator. This does not look certainly as
though the churches of Brooklyn were
declining in power to attract and interest
the people Of that city.
