OHE Of our readers who has suffered
from the pisCing and patching policy
which has prevailed in the management oil
our Water Works, sends In a proposition
recently made for the benefit Of Chicago
water sufferers which no considers
applicable to our own city. It Is to lei
capitalists advance the necessary funds
for the erection oil q sufficient Water
Works, and rent them for, say n hun
drsd years, TO the Municipal Government
at an annual charge which shall be . fair
rate on the actual investment. Let the
city lay out the work to be done, deter
mine the extent Of the territory to bi
supplied, the length aud size Of the watel
pipes and mains, the location and poweI
OF the pumping machinery, and the limi
Of the expense to be iucurredi oil thu
work to DO constructed according to thl
plans and under the personal supervision
OF the City Engineer, and to be bought al
the end OF the one hundred year lease By
the city at an appraised valuation Of sc
much OF the original plant as vas origi
nAlIy furnished by private capital.
There is scarcely q doubt that abundant
capital would bs forthcoming to carry ouI
such a scheme when II should be once Tor
mally projected.

Ne York Bulletin.
Now that there would seem to bs more
or less anticipation ola good market and
Temunerative prices for pig iron dur.
ing the remainder Of the year, It may not
be i~noppOrtuns to ,.bestoW some attention
to data just at hand bearing on the situa.
ton in Great Britain. Some OF the more
sanRuins OF the trade hers. 1t may be OBJ
served, incline to . belief that the market
for the American product ia not Influenced
by the condition Of sfGirs on the other
side, to anything like the extent It wal q
year ago; furthermore, they would have
it appear that there 10 no sound reason
for appTehending trouble in any event
from that quarter. 1t is Q fact nevertheless,
that, while the recent Improvement
in Cur market has resulted mainly from
increased consumption Of iron in nearly
all forms, NO uncomfortable importance
has been attached to higher prices Tor for.
eign iron abroad, aud also To enhanced
rates for ocean transportation, which is no
email item In the cost Of foreign metal.
These higher prices abroad, and the In
creased freight charges, It should be 70.
msmbered, have occurred at a time when
suTpluA stocks in Great Britain we're con-
tinuing to accumulate, and under the
circumstances, an unbiased OBJ ervsr isapt
to conclude that the apparent hrmnesS
abroad Is not Of the most enduring ChArac,
ter, At the beginning Of the year, much
importance was attached TO the excessive
stocks in Great Britain; and it is o little
singular, to say the least oil 1t, that those
stocks, which are 255, 198 tons greater
than then should bow be treated as q
wholly Insignificant factor. ltmAy DO that
the trade are able to sustain values in the
face Of these %upiavorable influences, and
possibly makers abroad may even be In.
clined to keep their iron at home in order
to give makers on this side a chance to
obtain a good profit on their product, But
experience has demonstrated that our
transatlantic friends will occasionally bola.
ter up the American market, for no other
purpose, however, than to unload upon 1t
st The earliest opportunity. II they are
not accomplishing something in that way
just now then 1t need only be said that
appearances are dsCeivinR, To give a fair
idea OF the situation as regards stocks
abroad, we have compiled the following
statistics from the latest authentic returns:

msnt Is attributed to higher prices for

this irsue, intimates are devised for the
purpose Of bplstsrinS up our market and
giving our English cousins an opportunity

According to this, then, there has been
an increase Of stocks III these two dis.
triCts alone Of 255, 996 tons during the six
months. This represents the production
to have been 81 per cent in excess OF the
requirements for the period in question or
an equivalent Of the svarags output OF IS
furnaces; all Of which shows that max.
era abroad have calculated OH an export
trade which they. have not by any
means realized, On the ifst Of
July there was total OF 237

tIict and 100 In Scotland. II this number
we're reduced eight or ten per cent, It ID
probable that the market could be we'll

Of the position, 70 discern the basis ioI
higher prices before the close Of the year,
which aoms OF the more sanRuine OF the

certainty beyond dispute.

When Mr.. Gov concluded, several five

Miss Partridge, Of Philadelphia, was
next introduced. This lady has . pleas

In the evening Hon. E. E. Higboe de.

Courting in the Arctic Regions.

Ah,, yes, fond youth 1t may be very
nice to court a girl in the far northern
countries where the nights are six
months long; but just think of the vast
amount of peanuts and gum-drops the
young man, when going to see his girl,
must lug along with him in order to kill
time, and induce her to believe that his
affection for her is as warm as ever.
And then the sad devastating few
weeks before sunrise He whispers
Goodnight, love-" and she softly
murmurs, Goodnight, dear. When
shall I see you again ?" Tomorrow
night" he replies, as he kisses her up
turned face. Tomorrow night" she
repeats, with a voice full of emotion.
"Six long, weary months Can't you
call around a few days before breakfast,
Charles?" Finally Charles tears him
self away, with promise to write her
one hundred and sixty letters before the
next day draws to close.

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 among thieves. He went into
a scheme with some burglars to rob q
jewelry store, and then betrayed his
companions to justice. But in testifying
against them, though he caured 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.

The farmer sat in his easy chair
Between the fire and the lamplight'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,
Def,ly, swiftly, silently;
Tired and weary and weak and faint,
She bore her trials without complaint, 81.
Like many another household saint
Content, all selfish bliss above.

A good deal is being said about the fact that
Guiteau has no friends. It 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 q single offer OF aid. This is more re-
markable from the fact that never was there q
criminal SO low but that some one WAS willing
TO befriend him. Guiteau seems to be alone
in the world.

seriously wounding five others. The explosion
