City Court NOt0S.

Thomas F. Davis, the alleged bigamist, was before the City Court yesterday morning. His two reputed wives were also in the court room ready to testify. Davis, who is gray headed man, married his first wife in this city May IS, 1879, and his second in Plain vile last Thanksgiving day. He had fo, some time opposed by cross-bills divorce suit brought by his first wife: The court heard the testimony of John Clerkin, clerk of Registrar Doherty, who read the official record of the first marriage; of the second Mrs. Davis, who testified without ap- parentlreluctance against the prisoner; of Mir. Crabtree and Officer Phelps as to the rela- tions of the prisoner and his last wife at their lodgings on Clark street, and of Rev E. s. Towne as to the Plainville marriage. No testimony was offered on the part of the de. fense, and when Judge Studley bound over Davis to the Superior Court for trial, the city attorney asked for bond of $1,500, as Mrs. Davis, second, had said she could give one of $500, and because the penalty was not less than one nor more than five years in State prison. MT. Dow, in behalf of the prisoner thought $500 would be enough. It was fixed at $500.

 The question of vaccination came up, and the action of the Board of Health in regard 1 to the spread of smallpox was considered. 1 Superintendent Dutton stated that one of the principals had told him of two or three cases. He was stopped at this point by Mir. 1 Zunder.
 The opinion of the Board seemed to be 1 that if the necessity should arise for prompt | action, the Board would act without regard to what the Common Council might do in re- gard to vaccination. It was thought that i prompt action should be taken by the Con- | mon Council, however, in view of the dan ger of a spread of the disease Adjourned.

same day for the Smithsonian Institute, Washington The display of lions and tigers of both sexes, together with cubs of the same species, is very fine. One of the most inter- esting sights is pretty, fawn-like mother kangaroo with her baby kangaroo, carried, as those acquainted with kangaroo lore know, in 8 pouch-like hiding place under the body back of the fore legs. The little kangaroo keeps his head out, his bright eyes keenly watching all that is going on around, and every now and then the little one gets ca- ressing touch on the nose from his watchful parent who looks very gentle and at the same time is always alert to warn her little pet of danger. Near this cage was the baby hippopotamus with mouth which went a cavernous spot with teeth which would require the strength of Samson like dentist to extracts A huge hip popotamus was caged near by, and Bar mum has also big rhinoceros, looking as stu pid and unsssthetic as the hippopotamus but rare and costly subjects they are The big polar bear is enjoying himself amid the snows of Central Park, his cage being out in the open air through all the winter. He is en- tirely opposed to warm weather and hates travelling. The elephants never allow them selves to lie down and sleep when travelling, as is their custom when in the winter quar- ters, but sleep all standing, ready for railroad accidents. The true reason, however, is that being very sober and steady and very bulky animals, they prefer to stand rather than to have their bulky persons perpetually joggled while travelling on the cars Barnum, among his wonderful new specialties, has three bus from the West Indies

most people have almost concl,,
oed that the lack of enterprise in
such place is because of its being
the poor house. Money is a highly
necessary motive power in trade.
But the credit system has a direct
tendency to eat up both money
and merchandise. 1t has probably
not escaped the observing that
there is in every community a class
OF merchants who strenuously advo.
cate credit in preference to a cash
system. This, at first sight, looks
remarkably strange, but on second
thought, it appears in an entirely
different light. These men are not
generally over-conscientious, and
they very truthfully argue that a
man or woman will buy more. are
much more liable to buy what they
do not need, and will pay better
prices under the credit system than
II tley were compelled to pay cash;
and exactly here is where the dan.
ger arises. People contract debts
without knowing it, and if they paw
them bankrupt themselve, and
when they do not they bankrupt
the trader. In any event the
system has tendency to make
every body poorer Western Ru-
