THE IDLEIt.
Notes and Gossip Picked Up on the
street.


A lady visiting al the house OF friend in
an adjoining town happened 10 pick up a
book lying upon the table. After glaucing
through the volume she exclaimed, very
much surprised, "Why, you don't allow such
book as this to be lying about the house
where your children can read it, do you 2"
"Well, yes" replied the lady Of the house,
somewhat embarrassed "Why not?'
"WhY, don't believe there is a single
word of truth in the whole book"
The book in question was E5op's Fables !
"Im going fishing tomorrow" said a
citizen entering hardware store on College

LONDoN'S NEW GOVERNMENT
Retains the Lord Mayor, but The Al.
dermen Must GOETHE Plan.

SO-lhe FIHns
A new scheme for what we should call a
revised city charter for London is before the
Parliament and under public discussion. The
present Getty" corporation Of London only
covers the central part, very limited area
and outside of that the city is governed
by twenIy-three vcstrles, fifteen district
boards and other commissions, making forty
local administrative bodies TO govern one
city. 1t adopts the uni-cameral system of
legislation; that is, it will have but one legs-
latiyc body-a common council OF $40,
elected for three years by all voters through
out the city who would be entitled TO vote
under the general laws OF municipal elections
Voters otherwise entitled, but nonresident
may preserve their right If they live
wlhin twenty miles. In this comm q
council is merged all the authority possess
cd by the above named forty boards. Each
district will elect its own councilmen.
Members are appointed to districts on a
double basis of population and valuation
and the first election is TO be held January
20, 1855. The lord mayor is TO be chosen
by the common council for term OF one
year. But The alderman Of London-time
honored Office OF vast dignity must go. The
board viii expire May l, 1885, except that
the present me ubers will retain their func-
lions as Justices OF the peace during life.
The sheriff OF London who is now
elected by the CITY guilds will be
elected annually by the common council,
who " h also elect deputy mayor The
lord mtfOr must he approved by the Queen
before ding Office. There seems to be no
