The bills which the city of Boston paid for an excursion down the harbor when the New Orleans militiamen recently visited that city have been published, and they cause good deal of justifable growing. The whole amount spent was $6, 946. This gave an al- lowance of about two quarts of wine to each person who participated, and also paid for nine thousand cigars and other essentials for Ga good time."

Come" said Louis Philippe, ''let us see
 what is on this slip. T should like them to be found under one of the candlesticks on the mantelpiece.' That is too easy for a
 wizard let us try again. s'I should like them to be found on the dome of the Inva- Hdes.' That is too far, not for the handker- chiefs, but for An! you will, I fear, find it difficult to comply with the request on the last slip" The request was that the handkerchiefs should be found in the box of the last orange tree on the right hand of the avenue at St. Cloud. The conjurer expressed his readiness to comply with the request, and the King immediately sent of a party off men to keep guard over the orange tree The conjurer put the handkerchiefs under bell of thick glass, waved his wand, took up the bell and showed white dove in place or the handkerchiefs. Then the King, with skeptical smile, sent orders to the head gar dener to open the box of the orange tree chosen, and to bring whatever he might find there, "Sl toutefois il y trouve quelque chose" This was done, and presently there was brought Tn an iron coffer covered with rust. We'll" cried the King, ''here we nave coffer. Are the handkerchiefs in 1t ?"

This was a key as rusty as the coffer which it opened, and the first thing found in the coffer was a parchment bearing these worlds ''To day, June 6, 1786.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Volume II. of the "author's last revision" of Bancroft's stHistory of the United States of America from the Discovery of the Conti- nent' is published. The contents of this volume are about equally divided between the continuation and conclusion of Bancroft's account of the colonization of the thirteen original States and his history of the Ameri- can revolution. The first named division of his work is in three parts, of which the first two are contained in the previously publish
 ed volume of this edition. In the third part the subject treated is the colonization of Georgia and the West, and the period of time covered extends from 1888 to 1748. It be- gins with a review of the condition of the colonies immediately after the revolution in England, which banished the Stuarts and placed William and Mary on the throne. The relations subsisting between Parliament and the colonies are then examined. and next in order four chapters are devoted to an ac- count of the Indian tribes as they existed at that time. After dwelling at some length upon the colonizing efforts of the French, an3 touching incl dentally on the war of the Spanish success sion, he directs attention to the disputes which arose over British, French and Span ish colonial boundaries, and having given chapter to the progress of Louisiana, he re- views the colonial administration under the house of Hanover, touches on the British slave trade. presents the circumstances at tending the colonization of Georgia, aud closes the part with an account of the war between Great Britain and Spain between 1739 and I74s The second leading division of the history, that entitled ''The American Revolution is then entered upon. It is subdivided into five epochs, only the first of which is contained in the present volume, and the text of this primary subdivision is the overthrow by Great Britain of the Euro pean colonial system. Published by D. Ap- pleton $ Co.,, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Our City Library.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The writer is firm and fast friend of the proposed public library and is ready to be taxed to any amount which may be necessary to secure it. But let us at once and forever abandon the idea of placing it, even tempor- arily, in the old State house, which neither in it's structure or position is at all suited for that purpose. To put it there under the shadow of Yale college and make it a sort of appendage to the college library would at once impress upon it 8 character and attach to it such associations as would prevent it's highest and best development as a city i- brary. The building would never become place of public resort. The library would become like the Astor library in New York, collection for e few persons of leisure. Now what we want is people, slibrary, convenient and accessible to the mass of operatives and others, where they will like.to go. A fatal ob- jection to the State House for library pur' poses is the lack of light. All the lower rooms certainly are too dark, as any one may see by visiting the building. If we wish merely to store away certain number of books we can do so, but if we wish them to De used they must be placed where they can be read and where the rooms will be attrac- tive. The first thing to be done is to get rid of the old State House with it's abomination of lAth and plaster. We shall then have clear field for consultation without the dan ger of having our first step in the establish ment of public library fatal one.

One of Houdin's Tricks From the Saturday Review.l

The great Robert Houdin went by royal command to Saint Cloud, as he relates in his aConfidences, to give show before Louis
 Philippe and his family. In the course of this show he borrowed six handkerchiefs from the audience. Then various members of the audience wrote down on slips of paper the names of places whither they would like the handkerchiefs to be transported. This done, the conjurer asked the King to choose three to select the place he preferred.

Mir Blaine is famous for his memory of names and faces, but Lyman K. Beecher tells a tale which indicates that the pIumed knight does not always rely upon his marvellous memory. MT. Beecher while riding in Ehe cars overheard Mir. Blaine inquire his name of the conductor, after which he came for ward and addressed him by name. In few minutes the gentleman from Maine walked toward the water-cooler and while refreshing himself consulted memorandum book and on his return alluded to circumstance which had happened when they last met, at the same time bragging of his wonderful mem. ory.
 There has been great and significant de- crease of railroad building during the first six months of the present year as compared with that of the corresponding period in 1882. The mileage of construction has fallen off about one-half. the figures being 2,500 miles as compared with 4,99o last year. While it is unlikely that the decrease for the whole year will be in the same proportion, as the weather last Spring was exceptionally unfavorable for railroad building operations it is evident that the rapid development of the railroad system has received check, and that in tho opinion of conservative capitalists as many lines have been laid as can be proftably utilized for some time to come.
 The Scott liquor law of Ohio seems to work well in one respect. It brings great deal of money into the public treasury. Thus in Hamilton county, which includes Oincin- nati, the revenue from the tax is &402, 900. But the law does not seem to reduce the number of saloons, for already more than 2. 200 of the saloonsin Hamilton county have paid the tax. This number is not more than twenty short of the number of saloons known to. exist in the county before the law went into effect. The tax is too low to have much effect on the number of saloons. The lager beer tax is only $1O0 and the tax for strong liquors is but $2oo. In Illinois and Missouri, where high license fees of $1,Ooo or more are popular, there are fewer saloons than there were.
