One would scarcely expect to find the v "rk
of bill posting elevated to the rank OF IA
sbusiness,'' yet the bill posters have the most
thoroughly organized union to be found III
the country. The business is kept on the

of the Union. In Chicago the entire bill
posting of the city is done by one firm.
The Judgment Of sSwayne on fairfield " as
published last week in the MINER is denied.
The Judgment was not pronounced by Justice
Swayne of the Supreme Court, but by a

quiDbling as to its authorship, aud few who
have taken the trouble to inform themselves
On the subject are all in doub as to the true
inwardness of the DeGolyer pavement job.

change in American institutions. Mr.. HAYES

at large " for life, with a salary sufficient I"
enable them to live in the style betttlng the
dignity of an ex-presld-nt. 10 this end he

lesaIizrng the proposed change.
[f such a change were made, now long betme
The hereditary senatorship would be proposed;
how long before the Duke" era in
politics might be expected to
dawn?
Newspaper mems troubles are the same the
over for even in the exquis tely civil zeti
city of Paris the publisher is not secure from
bhe petty annoyances of his calling. The
following we lind in a late copy of the Journal
mentioned. What : queer variety OF Etg-
is produced by translating French not
only literally, but also in the order Of the
words as they appear in the original! The
editor suave!y remarks =
We are Informed that a certain number
Of copies of the Paris Conference have moi
arrived at their destination during the two

.We take s0me measures so that these IT.
Irregularities, preceding from the service IF

delay in the reception of the Journal"
All of which has been remarked time and
again and in straighter English by the pub

On her return from Afrixa the Empress
