In another column correspondent calls
attention to the ways and means employed by
Mr.. Perry Belmont in his efforts to reach the
Congressional seat which he now fills" IL
appears from this narrative that the office did
not seek Mr.. Belmont, but that Mr.. Belmont
sought the office-sought it, too, with very hard
cash, as he would seek anything offered in the
shambles. There is perfect fitness in this. A
man who finds himself in high public station
not because of his merits but of his money
bags, is just the sort of person to make the ex-
bibition of himself which Mr.. Belmont lately
made. He went into Congress by profuse
expenditure of gold, and has achieved notoriety
by an equally profuse expenditure of brass.

Experience is a hard school. but there is
class of persons who will not learn in any
other, and sometimes not even in that. 1t was
natural to suppose that the recent murder
trial in New-Haven would at least teach the
accused persons prudence and decency. Bnt,
apparently, that long, hard lesson was thrown
away on two of them. 1t is stated that one of
the young men and the woman who was his
partner in a scheme which was wicked enough
even if it did not end in murder, have coolly
shown themselves together in theatre III this
city.

Poor people are often over-sensitive ana
complain unnecessarily about the treatment
which they receive at hospitals and in other
charitable institutions. While officials are
often blunt and business-like they are seldom
actually unkind and cruel. Still, an explana-
ton is needed from the persons in charge OF
the Sailors Snug Harbor, S. l., and the Long
Island College Hospital. A poor woman charges
that between them they prevented her from
seeing her husbands dead body while 1t was In
their care, although she asked permission
several times. 1t was finally given to an I'M
dertaker, who buried it before she could over
take him. The story seems TO have had
foundation enough to interest Mayor Low in
the woman's behalf.

the association. Then the way to this city 1or
Christians would not be so difficult to travei.

The possibility of retaining for cultivation
the vast area of arid land on this side OF the
Rocky Mountains becomes question: Oh
greater interest every year as our fertile acres
are rapidly being taken up. The latest IN
formation on the subject is not encour-
aging. A commission was sent out last
summer under an act OF Congress 10
examine this country to see if it would DO
possible to irrigate it by means OF arteslan
wells. The commissioners do not speak with
confidence of the prospect of supplying water
in great quantities anywhere in the region oil
Colorado which they examined. They recon-
mend, however, that trial wells shall be sunk
in the most promising places. The expert
ment will be watched with interest.

The trouble with the Methodist ministers
who are enthusiastically trying TO found n

TO be that they failed to bring into their enter

The members of the Congregational church
Mt New-Lots, L. l., having taken survey of
their spiritual state, feel that they cannot
afford to lose any of their opportunities for
salvation. Therefore it is not to be wondered
at that they were not pleased with their
pastor for running off all the time to do mis-
sion work. They were so displeased, in fact,
that they have dismissed him. New-Lots
seems to open up wonderfully good field for
some stay at-home clergyman to labor in. 1t
Is an encouraging sign where the sheep feel
the need of a shepherd 50 keenly.

1t will be seen that the foregoing
report, Including 81 ,SoU.UU paid up
on grounds, shows the actual ex-
pendlture up to this time to be
$76,732.56. In order to show the
entire cost of the property when all
Is fully paid, the years interest on
the unpaid balance due on the lot,
amounting to $3,450.00 should be
added. This will make the cost Of
the unimproved grounds alone, $l9,-
10000.
AS regards the balance due the
contractors, there is difference of
opinion between myself and ma
jority of the commissioners, as there
is also between myself and the con-
tractors, and between the other
commissioners and contractors.
Owing to the fact that suit has been
instituted in the federal courts as
regards this matter, shall refrain
from stating the particulars of the
differences existing between us, as l
do not wish anything to appear in
this statement that might be con-
strued as prejudicial to the case in
any way.
l will state, however, as a fact
that whilst the contractors claim
$l2, 2,295.37 as the balance due them,
and a majority of the commissioners
claim that about s., 900 or fraction
under, is the proper sum, it is my
opinion that strict justice would not
fix upon either of the amounts
named as an equitable settlement of
the matter.
But for the purpose of footing up
the figures on this statement, and
showing as near as practicable the
entire cost of the courthouse prop.
erty, including grounds, building,
furniture, fixtures, fencing &c. /
will simply suppose that the bal
ance due the contractors is settled
at $9, 10000. fix upon this amount
for two reasons first, because it
about equally divides the difference
that exists between the contractors
and majority of the commissioners
and second, because 1t is the exact
amount that was offered by the
commissioners as a compromise of
the matter, but refused by the con-
tractors, who did offer after this to
take 100000. By adding this
supposed balance due the contrac-
tors to the sums heretofore named
| we have the following:

There is yet balance due on the Steam
heating ap paratus, which was reserved Tor
the purpose ofgiving the county an opportu-
nifty to have it thoroughly tested through

also an unsettled balance due the contrac-
tors, Messers Mccormack & Sweeny, the
amount of which can not be correctly stated
in this report, as it js a disputed question,
and now in suit.
Amt expended on improvements Il $50 80
The original cost of the grounds may be
stated at sI6,35O 90, for which $3.50 90, was
paid in cash, and notes bearing interest at
per cent. per annum given for Sll 800 90, due
in five years from date of purchase. Ii is
the opinion of the commissioners that a
portion ofthe extra work mentioned in the
foregoing report should be charged to the
contractors, on final settlement with these
gentlemen.

Sad Ending of an Alleged oxford
Professors Life in LeadvilIe,
Leadville Democrat. ...

A little after the sun was up this
morning an old man, his grizzled
white hair falling upon his shout
ders, his haggard face scanned and
SCARED with furrows that told rath-
er of the ravages Of dissipation and
disease than the hand of time, and
his clothes hanging in taters about
his STOPPING form, walked into the
Utah saloon, near the Utah smelter,
in the western portion of the city.
Stepping up to the bar he asked for
a drink, aud swallowing it, he laid
down a coin in payment and sat
down by the stove. When the bar
tender looked towards him a few
moments later, his face was buried
in his hands, and he was apparently
asleep. Out of consideration for his
age and his weary, worn appear
ance, he was allowed to rest undis-
turbed. At 10 o'clock, some hours
later, a party of men entered the
place, and noticing the old man, one
of them aroused him. lie looked
up in daZed way, and one of them
jokingly asked him if he could sing.
He replied yes, and sang in crack
ed and broken voice few stanZas
from an old song. This done, he
stepped up to the bar and took an
other drink, paying for 1t as before,
and sank back in his chair. He
had scarcely seated himself before
his head sank 'and he fell stifily for
ward to the floor. When the star
tied men raised him they held a
corpse in their arms, for the old
man was dead. A telephone mes
sage was sent for the Coroneg. The
name of the old man was Joseph
Ives, and in his end was consum-
mated as checkered history as
ever fell from the pen of a novelist
or romancer. Years ago he entered
Oxford University. In his studies
he had developed a peculiar and
marked taste for astronomy, and at
| the conclusion of his term had
! studied the science of the skies so
long and well that a chair was off
cred him. This he accepted and
| filled for term of years with honor
To himself and profit to all with
whom he was associated. At last
a. combination of distressing cir
cumstances lured him to leave
England, and he came to this coun-
| try. 1t is needless to trace him how
he came to this city four years ago,
and was not long in drifting into
the position OF public charge. A
little property in st. Joe furnished
him with pittanee every month,
and in the interim he was kept at
the County Poorhouse. Itwas pitt
ful-pitiful beyond all words, to see
him seated aunong the paupers,
listless and almost UNCONSCIOUS of
what passed about him. Now and
then something would fit across
his face that seemed almost like
recollection OF better and brighter
days, and then he would sink back
into the dark eclipse again. They
called him the Professor, because
occasionally he would speak in a
way that told his fellow-unfortu-
mates that he was one day better
than they, and they treated him
with something akin to considera-.

than myself, / propose to perform
it to the best of my ability, and as
briefly as is consistent with plain

Now: in my humble opinion, if the

better off. These societies most all have
de- es OF halls to rent. light aud fuel to
supply, Grand Lodge assessments to be

earned salary of our people.
Whenever a colered man thinks he
has sense enough to be President of the

can't be, he at once resolves to rule
something. So he will start new So
