| The style of this concern differs only in the
initial letter of the second name from the
highly respectable house of Roux & Faubel,
of rs Pearl street, New York, commission

ter the Fourth street concern, which, of
course, cannot be found at the address given.
No doubt they have reaped considerable

REED OF CANADIAN OFFICIALS.
A month or two ago it will DO remembered
one of the Inmal line of steamers broke her
shaft ant was towed into Halifax, N. S.
There wero no facilities in that city to re-
pair the 81 aft, and the great piece of metal
had to be transported all the way to New
York to be repaired. When in due course
it was returned to Halifax will it be be-
lieved that the customs officials levied the
highest duty upon the new metal inserted,
the labor expended and the freight charges
incurred, insisting on the payment of
1920. The shaft was not used in the
province of Nova Scotia except for the pur-
pose of steaming out of the harbor, into
which no other steamer will ever venture
again in distress after such specimen of
Canadian hospitality. Surely the Canadian
finance minister will not stoop to pocket so
insignificant sum levied in a manner so
distasteful.
MURDER THAT DOESN'T OUT.
Three months ago wretched girl wa5
murdered at IL Prince street, in the very
heart of this great city, within two blocks of
Broadway and stones throw from police
station. The crime was one of great
atrocity, committed IN haunt of vice, under
the most repulsive circumstances. The fact
was discovered within o few hours, yet the
criminal has not been traced, in all proba-
biity never will be, and the affair is we'll
nigh forgotten. Just about that time our
political police board got into one Of the
periodical deadlocks to which it is subject
and the attention of captains and detectives
wss too much engrossed with the equabbles
of the commissioners to allow them TO
trouble their heads about the fate of mere
courtesan. A few clues have been followed
up to nothing; two or three innocent per-
sons have been arrested and set at liberty,
and that IS all. The tragedy has apparently
been forgotten by everybody, except per
haps the murderer.
SPARKS.
Imports are increasing enormously. The
nation, just as eztravagant as ever, thinks
the "boom" will last indefinitely. Three
millions of debt paid off last month-result
of big customs receipts. Three thousand
emigrants in one day last week in three
ships-every cnigrant worth S 900 to tho
country, according to latest estimates-net
gain in one day $3,OOO,0OO. Twenty-one
thousand emigrants arrived in March, net
gain in month $21,OOO,OO0. Legislators
are making speeches in favor of protection
to native industry and all that.
Legislators have queer ideas of
consistency though: They wear
English coats, Irish shirts, Scotch stock
ings, French boots, etc. Wives of legisla-
tors-dltto, ditto-prefer to die rather than
wear domestic material.
The World has raised its price to four
cents-not thought judicious move.
Truth, a bright but scurrilous little ono
cent morning paper, seems to thrive.
If Balbo and Cox, sentenced to die on the
29th of May, are executed, they will be the
first men executed since April, 1876-more
than four years-yet during that time there
have seldom been fewer than from six to
fifteen murderers in tie Tombs.
