When Carlyle and fair Jeanie Welsh were
trying to arrange matters so that they might
marry without risking starvation, Miss
Welsh suggested the willingness of her
mother to have them live with her until Car
lyle's means would enable him to set up an
Independent household. From Carlyle's re-
ply to this suggestion, we extract the follow
ing. After expressing bis conviction that
amicable relations with Mrs. Welsh were
quite possible, he adds, "But this could only
be Il will speak it out at once and boldly,
for it is the quiet and kind conviction of my
Judgment. not the conceed and selfish con-
yiction of my vanity this could only be in a
situation where she looked up to me, not [
to her" These "quiet convictions OF judg-
ment'' led the man to continue thus: "Now
think, Lebchen, whether your mother will
consent to forget her riches and my poverty,
and uncertain, more pro ,ably my scanty in

meekness to make me her guardian and di-
rector, and be second wife to her daugh-
ter's husband. If she can. then l say she is
a noble woman, etc., etc." Just this, ital-
les and all, did the great man write; and
surely his words of startling frankness are
mirror in which many man sees his own
views reflected, and In which many a wom-
am can see the image of her own abasement.

f1dence, that the youngest and most mex

The dispatches yesterday morning an
nounced the suicide in Washington of w.
III. Beebe, Jr., who was attached to the re-

the series of publications entitled

besides the report of Mr.. Beebe, report Of
Lieut. Joseph S. Powell of the relief expedi-

of Lieut.. P. Henry Ray of work at Point
Barrow during parts of the years 1881 and

The Utah election has resulted in a sub
stantial Mormon victory in spite of the Ed
munds law. This law prohibits actual poly
gamists from voting or holding offices; but
the candidates whom the voting Mormons
supported were all selected and approved By
the polygamists. These Mormons who are
not debarred by law are the majority Of all
and majority of voters in the Territory.
The Gentiles did not vote in any numbers
being conscious that they could not effect
anything. Many of the officials chosen. are
unintelligent and weak men, some of whom
will perhaps never qualify, leaving the poly
gamists now in Office to continue perform
Ing the duties. the thing accomplished by
the Edmunds law is that polygamists can
not vote or be elected to Office. This is
something gained, and in time greater re-
suits may follow. Perhaps it will be neces-
sary to resort to still more arbitrary legisla-
ton.

characteristic OF our German fellow-citi-

The New "PostaI-NOtcs."

Tomorrow. Sd instant, the issue OF
.postal-rotes" will commence at all
money-order offices in the United States,
the number Of which approXimates $500.
The object OF the issue OF these notes IS to
facilitate the transmission through the
mails OF sums Of money under five dollars.
The difference between "money-or-
derr and postal-note" should be dis
tinctlv understood. The former can only
be obtained at a mOney-order office after
the remitter has presented an "applica-
tion," in writing, on q form provided for
the nurpose, and the minimum fee Is eight
cents. No such application for postal
notev is required, and the fee l. three
cents for any amount. A mouey-order IS
payable only to the designated payee, and
If lost a duplicate can be obtained. n
postal-note is payable to bearer at the
money-order Office selected by the remitter,
and when paid 10 bearer the United States
is not liable for any claim for the amount
OF the note. There are some other points
OF difference between postal-notes" and
smoney-orders." with which those using
them will become familiar in due time.
For the present it is only important for a
person wishing to remit money by either
method TO know precisely whether he
wants money-order' or "postal-
note,D and to apply for it by its proper
designation.

THE NEW CITY HALL.
Proposed Arrangement OF the Build.
fng-Numbcr or Rooms Required.

The statement following Shows the num-
Der OF rooms supposed TO be needed, and
the number that can be put in Citv-HalT
building built upon the site proposed
that Is to say. a space 1sG by 130 feet.
This building viii not be merely q city
ball, but that and city courthouse, too.
In some cities there are different buildings
for these different purposes. Here one Of
the main objects Is to provide for the four
courts, two OF which are now held in
rented buildings. The corrt-rooms and
the Council chamber will have to be large.
and the expense OF construction Is thereby
increased, since due regard must be paid to
the necessity OF having extra heavy girders
and walls. Further, the records OF these
courts must be provided for in flre-proof
rooms: all of which increases the cost-as
it does the value and security-of such a
building as Is proposed.
Plans for the City Hall must be handed
in by November 1st, which Is month later
than was at first announced.
DR.. Tupper, who Is a sufferer from hay
fever, Is now in the West, and it Is not
known certainly whether he will resist the

torney cntertains no doubt that the law
gives the city the right to condemn for
such purpose as this.
