! Gu. by the heavy Democratic ajorities
in the parts OF the First and Tenth tack
cd to it. There was Republican In
spector elected In the west district OF
the old Third, but Of course 1t never
occurred to the gerrymanders that he
should held the election in the new
Third while there was a Democrat
that had also been elected, in some 9TH
er fractions Of the ward.
The new Tenth Ward Is composed Of
that part of the Third and Tenth wards
lying west Of Adams street and north OF
Linden street, and is supposed to con-
lain good sized Democratic majority.
and the Eleventh ward is composed Of
all that part Of the city south Of Linden
street and Brovntewn. All these wards
of course are expe'tsd to be sound
Democratic wards, and will be relied
upon to elect eight Democratic mem
bers OF Council which with two from
the Second and two from the Fourth
would insure the Democrats twelve
members of Council sure out OF twenty
three, without relying upon such
doubtful waras as the Eighth and
Ninth.
II tbs foreging is not enough to show
the iniquitous partisan character ofths
bill, the balance can bs found in the
change made In the inspectors OF the
Fifth and Eighth wards. In the
western district of the Fifth ward
George R. Roberts, Republican wss
elected inspector by majority OF "a
over Thomas J. James, Democrat buI
by this ssrrymsrder bill Mr.. Roberts
lis turned out and Mr. James, tho de.
fested candidate, is appointed. As the
Fifth ward was one not touched by the
Serrymandee the audacity of the Trainer
Of the garrymander bill in Just simply
turning out an oficer elected and put
ting in this defeated candidate, is soms-
thing more tnan cool. 1t is brszsn
| bald faced impudence and disgraoe
to the abmitious attorney who drsE
the bill. Something akin to this is
found in the Eighth wari which
elected Republican inspector at the
;aat city elsotion. In dividing the
ward into tive election districts, the
gerrymauderer could not find the Re
publican inspector in either district,
bot appointed a Democratic inspector
in both 1t is wondered why the ma
nipulators did not 90 ahead and oust
every election inspector i'll The city.
Only that is needed to make the crush
ing out Of the Republican majority in
the city complete.

The Eight In Virginia.

The straight-out Democrats of Vir-
ginia have met, held their convention,
and in digpifed, manly manner an
nounced their platform, and perfectly
free from petty disturbances or small
personal enmities, within twenty-four
hours announced their nominees Major
John w. Daniel for Governor, James s.
Barbour for Lieutenant Governor and
P. W. Mckinney for Attorney General.
Major Daniel is one of the ablest men
in the State, its most brilliant orator and
an astute statesman. In addition he
represents the young men of the Old
Dominion, the dash and enterprise.
Hon. James 8. Barbour is one of the
best-known politicians in this section.
Previous to the war he represented his
district in Congress and has ever been
careful, successful politician, and is
brainy lawyer and parliamentary.
Hon. P. w. Mckinney serves to blend
the different sections, and his capacity
as lawyer and standing as man and
gentleman completes a trinity at once
distinguished, respected and powerful to
succeed. --------
The coming contest in Virginia will
be extreme, bitter, and uninterruptedly
in earnest. There will be no child
play on the part of either. The chances
of victory are on the side of the Funders,
but they must labor with body and
soul to achieve it Washington Capt.

A Family Well Provided For.

If the records of the various depart
ments and traditions of Office are worth
anything, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury French's family is pretty well
provided for by liberal government.
In fact, saving the Brooks family, there
is nothing like the Frenchs for "catch-
ing on" to the government pap. In
tabular form we have: Assistant Sec
retary French, 81, 500; Benjamin French,
son, Boston Custom-house, So, 800; Ned
French, brother Second Comptroller's,
1900; son of Ned, Coast Survey, ST.
200; Miss s. Brady, niece, Treasury,
$1,000; Miss Sewell, niece, Internal
Revenue, 5000; Mrs. Ralston and daugh-
ter, niece and grandniece, Internal Rev
enue, 81 100; nephew. census, 81, 900 /;
nephew, lieutenant marines, 81 400 ;
total French indemnity per annum,
$17, 400. OF course, Assistant Secre-
tary French cannot be charged with
nepotism to this extent, since some of
his relatives are outside of his depart
ment and one, his brother, in the Second
Comptroller's Office, was there before he
was Assistant Secretary, but it is enough
to show how the " stringent rules" as
to more than one of a family are made
to apply to those in authority.--Phila-
dekphid Times.

Sentimental PeODle.

Oh A! how I detest your sentimental
people who pretend to be full of feeling,
who will cry over worm, and yet treat
real misfortune with neglect. There are
your fine ladies that I have seen in q
dining-room, and when by accident an
earwig has come out of a peach, after
having been half-killed in opening it,
one would exclaim: "Oh poor thing
you have broken its back-do spare it
T can't bear to see it suffer. Oh, there,
my lord how you hurt it stop, let me
open the window, and put it out" And
then the husband drawls out: "My
wife is quite remarkable for her sensi-
bility; I married her purely for that. :"
And then the wife cries: "Oh, now my
lord, you are too good to say that; if I
had not had grain of feeling, should
have learnt it from you" And so they
go on praising each other; and perhaps
the next morning, when she is getting
into her carriage, poor half-starved
woman begs charity of her, and she
draws up the glass and tells the footman
another time not to let those disgusting
people stand at her door.-Lady Stan

Making Things Over.

"Maria," said Mr.. Jones upon one of
his worrying days, it seems to me you
might be more economical now there's
my old clothes, why can't you make
them over for the children instead of
giving them away?"
Because they worn outwhen you're
done with them" answered Mrs. Jones.
"It's no use making over things for the
children that won't hold together; you
couldn't do it yourself, smart as you are.
"Wen," grumbled Jones, ST wouldn't
have closets full of things mildewing for
want of wear if I was a woman, that's all.
A penny saved is penny earned"
That was in April. One warm day in
May Mr.. Jones went prancing through
the closets looking for something he
couldn't find and turning things gener-
ally inside out
"Maria p he screamed, "where's my
gray alpaca duster?" ----
sfMade it over for Johnny"
"Ahemi Well, where's the brown
linen one I bought last summer?
"Clothes-bag - mumbled Mrs. Jones,
who seemed to have difficulty in her
speech at that moment. "Just made il
into nice oner'
"Where are my lavender pants? yelled
Jones.
"Cut them over for Willie"
Heavens groaned the husband.
Then, in voice Of thunder "Where
have my blue suspenders got to?"
"Hung the baby-jumper with them. .
"Maria," asked the astonished man,
in a subdued voice, "would you mind
telling me what you have done with my
silk hat; you haven't made that over fol
the baby, have you ?"
"Oh no, DEAR" answered his wife
cheerfully, GIVE used that for a hanging
basket 1t is full of plants, and looks
lovely" Mr.. Jones never mentions the
word economy or suggests making ovel

Fire Department in France.

While Paris is far ahead of cities in
the United States in regard to some of
her municipal arrangements, In others
she is quite deficient. Her streets are
cleaned when necessary, as if by magic.
Let there be snowfall, and thousands
of men will be out armed with shovels,
&c., and in twinkling the thorough
fares are as free from the unwelcome
yisitant as if it had never come.
But the fire service is simply execra-
BILE. Hand pumps are used, and they
will not throw the water with sufficient
force to reach the upper stories of the
immense buildings there. Some steam
pumps are employed but they are never
ready and it takes SO long before they
can be upon the scene of action as to be
often of really little service. When the
Magazin du Printemps burned it was
between two and three hours after the
fire broke out before the steam pumps
arrived, and then the stream could only
be sent into the third story.
It would make the Parisians open their
eyes somewhat could they see the celer-
ity with which the firemen in our large
cities move.@ Everything is SO perfectly
adjusted that almost before the echo OF
the bell which calls them has died away,
the engines, hose carts and ladders are
in rapid motion, and unless the fire had
got under strong headway before discov-
cred it perishes almost In an instant.
The people on both sides of the water
could learn something from each other
in regard to living.

EsAvING:MOrHER.

The farmer sat in his easy chair
Between the fire and the iamplight's glare;
His face was ruddy and full and fair.
His three small boys in the chimney nook
Conned the lines of picture book;
His wife, the pride Of his home and heart,
Baked the biscuit and made the TART,
Laid the table and stepped the tea,
Deity, swiftly, silently;
Tired and weary and weak and faint,
She bore her trials without complaint, s
Like many another household saint
Content, all selfish bliss above
In the patient ministry Of love.
At last, between the clouds OF smoke
That wreathed his lips, the husband spoke:
"Tbere's taxes to raise, an int'rest to pay
And eff there should come rainy day,
'Twould be mighty handy, Pm bound to say.
T. have stimpthin' put by. For folks must die,
An there's funeral bills, and gravestuns 10 buy

To be provided for when we go.

Sat in the corner in row.
They saw the patient mother 60 t
On ceaseless errands to and fro;
They saw that her form was bent and thin,
Her temples gray, her cheeks sunk in,
They saw the quiver of lip and chin
And then with q warmth he could not smother,
Outspoke the youngest, frailest brother:
"You talk Of savin' wood and lie

But you never talk of savin' motherp'

Neither One Nor the Other.

Thomas Salter was carefully reared by
his wealthy parents at Montreal, but had
not sufficient pride to keep place among
respectable people, nor honor enough to
be trusted amoug thieves. He went into
a scheme with some burglars to rob a
jewelry store, and then betrayed his
companions to justice. But in testifying
against them, though he caused their
conviction, he lied SO much that he was
sent to prison for perjury. Thus he
found himself a convict in the St Vincent
de Paul Penitentiary with men who were
his revengeful foes. One of these was
Dan Everett, who deliberately resolved
to throw away his own life in order to
kill the traitor He stabbed Salter to
death, and then, knowing that otherwise
he would surely be hanged, he commit
ted suicide on the spot.

A good deal is being said about the fact tnat
Guiteau has no friends. 1t is mentioned as
noteworthy that although he has been in jail
six weeks, there has never a single person
called to see him who manifested friendly
disposition toward him, or offered succor; nor
has there, in all the mail received for him,
been o single offer of aid. This is more re-
markable from the fact that never was there a

to befriend him. Guiteau seems to be alone
