Aprils have passed away, with the exception
that the cold weather hung on 4 little longer

Of this amount the shareholders are al
lowed to receive rs dividend before the city
las any share in profits the sum Of 81, ,iS0, ,00O.
Hence there remains Il sum, IN round NUM-
bers, OF S4,Aj0, ,OO0. which is to be divided
equally between the shareholders and the
municipality; so that the city's share of the
gas profits for 1850 is 4S0. TOO, while in this
instance it happens that the Cu1npany's share
OF profits, in excess OF the stipulated divi-
dend, is exactly equal to that diyidend,-S0
that the entire dividend for the year is II
francs per share, the par value Of which is
$50 fraicS.
The above gives the general points Of the
last annual report. There are many otner
details which would be OF interest were
it customary i'll our system Of ac-
counts tU 90 into the minute de-
tails, as is commonly done abroad. The
price of gas is $l.75 to private consumers, and
one-haif that price to tile city. There is but
one company, and that is a regulated mo-
nupoiy. Private CONSUMERS burn as little gas
as possible, and it is seldom used in Darlors
and sleeping rooms. LII fact this article is
written BY the glowing etfulgence Of two
candles, and even this extravagance Of sperm
consumption is scarcely Justified. But when
it comes to the matter of public lighting Ill
the streets and public Squares, the theatres.
cafes, Restaurants, and entrances to hotels,
there is probably No city i'll the world that
can compare with the City of Paris. The
public pay for the light out of doors, and ell
joy it; while at the same time the more gas
there Is consumed the cheaper it can be made,
and, consequently, the larger is the clty's
share OF tie profits.

GETTING READY TOBE MARRIED
Having settled the comparatively
minor matter of choosing husband
the fashionable girl now turns her
heartfelt attention to getting her
self satisfactorily dressed for mar
riage, also to lettering her person.
She desires above all things to be at
least pretty, if not beautiful, on that
awful occasion, and to accomplish
that purpose she goes through all
the regeneration possible. met a
girl at Saratoga who told me that
she was trying to fatten herself for
bridal. The affianced husband was
an ardent admirer Of plumpneSS,
and she was rather lean. The
amount of oatmeal and cream she
consumed was marvellous, and she
lOlled around all day long, refusing
to dance even for fear of working
off an ounce of flesh. a month of
that kind of treatment increased
her weight nine pounds, but it didn't
improve her appearance to my mind,
because she had a fat, porky look in
her face and her skin became bad
from indigestion.

Miss Rockwell, and Dr.. BOynton.
LETT the cottage and boarded the first
coach; the cabinet and wives fol-
lowed took seats in the second
coach. Mrs Garfield was heavily
yelled and passing in the train ex-
hiblted the same fOrtitude which has
characterized her manner through
out.
AfeWminuteS before 10 o'clock the
casket was removed from the cot
tage and placed in the third coach.
The attendants and others, who ac-
panied the party, were seated in the
the fourth car. At exactly 10
o'clock the train started from the
cottage, moving from the grounds
very slowly. The train reached
Elberon station at 11.12 am, and
ran up the road about a quarter of a
mile from the station, where it
halted. To this point, the special
train which brought President Ar
thur and General Grant from New
I DIRK, was run, and guards were sta
toned IN the vicinity to prevent an
annoyance from the crowds, there
being from 500 to 600 people in the
Immediate nighbOOho0d. AS soon
as President Arthur'S train was
stopped alongside the train which
bore the remains, the President and
General Grant stepped across and
entered the second car of the funeral
train. AS the train moved off,
President Arthur had his hands on
the back Of Secretary Blaine's seat
and was leaning forward engaged
III conversation with him.
