his favor cams from all parts of the Stste. Not
that Governor Drew had not filled the positi0u
wisely and well; for, Of more than ordinary
ability, he quickly familiarized himself with
State Affairs IN al the departments, in general
and detail, and applying his business metheds to
the financial questions, now has q record of
reform and reduction In taxes and expenses
which the courts, pay-lists And increased pros
perity Of county and State, show beyond cavil
or question. That he did not please some, for
reasons personal 10 themselves, was TO be ex-

THE WATER woRKs
The trial Of the water works was very pretty

THE TELEPHONE.

satisfactory operation. Just think. Of it there
are 80 individual instxumenn which resemble .
single marine telescope. Each instrument can
be connected with any one Of the others, by a
call to the central odice; and thus person can
coaverss at win with 80 different people, widely
separated BY varying distances
