The unsightly condition of those streets
of our city now occupied by street rail-
ways is sufficient to ill any lover of the
citys comfort and beauty with dread at
the prospect of any additional street-car
lines within the city limits. A feeling
of antagonism to the horse-car lines has
grown up during tho last few years by
the bad condition of the tracks and the
adoption of the I rail, both of which have
entailed losses on the owner of every
vehicle. amounting in the aggregate to
many thousands Of dollars. Those CAPT.
talists who arc now seeking from con-
gress the privilege Of cutting up some
Of our most beautiful streets mike
great mistake when, in asking for the
privilege Of laying a cable road, with all
its advantages, they ask the alternative
Of using horsepower. In San Francisco
aud Chicago cable railways have proved
financially aud mechanically successful.
In Philadelphia horse cars are being re-
placed by the cable system. and to Wash
ington, with its beautiful thor.
oughfares beyond all other cit.
les Of the country, tho ca IL

incident to the horse.car system that can
be secured in no other way. With u
cable railway properly laid, with ono

depth less than an inch, no street, how
ever beautiful, could DO dishgured.

A Novel Enterprise,

Several English capitalists, 1t is rumored,
have recently taken out letters of incor-
poration in this country for a "Blighted
Affections Insurance company" with
limited liabilities. The object, our in
formant states, is to guarantee the affac-
tions of lovers, or, in cases of biighting,
to offer suitable pecuniary compensation.
It's advantages are manifold. Pecuniary
compensation is grateful to wounded
spirit; the law recognizes its justice, and
continual cases of breach Of promise tes-
tify to its popularity. But thon the pub
lilo exhibition of heart-strings involved
and the publication of gushing oorro-
spondence in tho newspapers have their
little unpleasantnosses. This company
will avoid all that. There will DO no pub.
LEFTY. The compensation will DO liberal,
iand the security undoubted.

The Old Homestead.

/ gaze on my old ruined homestead to-day,
Through the tears OF a wild, vanished youth;
/ see the broad porches gone down 10 decay
Who're my mother instilled every truth.
The chimney has crumbled away In the blast,
And the rafters have all tumbled down;
The hearthstone brings back all the joys OF
the past,
AS the clouds In the west darkly frown.
The spring at the foot of the hill has gone dry,
And the apple and plum trees have fled;
stand in the gloom us the winds deeply sigh,
And weep DER the graves Of the dead.
Here my mother and father sleep side by side
In nook on the top OF the hill;
Where my heart was as light as the foam on
the tide,
When sauntered about the old mill
That stood on the edge of the creek down the
lane,
Where II rumbled It's musical flow;
But, alas / shall never play there again
AS played in the sweet long ago.
The woodpecker drums DER my head on the
oak,
And the gray squirrel chatters his tune,
But where are the schOolmates whose laugh
and whose joke
Thrilled my heart in the play spell at noonl
Some are gone "o'er the ranges" to sleep in the
vale;
Like myself, some have wandered afar-
Blown about like leaf in whitening gale,
Or attpnod like broken guitar
Through the last rays Of sunset | sadly behold
The old ruined homo OF my youth,
Where the jessamine clambered In colors of
gold,
And the voices heard spoke the truth.
Farewell to the scenes and the friends that
knew
In the morning Of lie bright and fair
My heart shall forever commlngie with you,
Aud my spirit shall always be there

A Most Embarrassing Question.
Ep1aeIjlLe Arms

Mr.. Wilberforce Is not bad man in
his way, but he was sorely put out the
other morning at breakfast He had
lent neighbor mos t of his parlor chairs,
and whom he entered the room he found
but one of these useful articles of domes-
tic economy left.
He Immediately called his daughter,
and turning angrily to her, demanded:
"You entertained Augustus Smith for
two hours last evening in this %
~ did, pa" confessed the maiden, with
q blush.
"And where did he sit2"
"On that chair"
"And where did you sitY

"I-oh, gracious II sat on the coal

THE New York Times intima tes that
John Kelly is breaking down from the
mental strain caused by the sleepless &C.
tvity necessary to. the maintenance of
his control over Tammsny, and the
weight of advancing years, Kelly being
near GA years of age Whether there is
any truth in 1t or not, certain it is that
the disappearance of Kelly from the
arena of New York politics would be one
of the sensations of the day that would
not speedily be forgotten. Tammsny's
three great leaders within the last fif-
teen years-Tweed, Morrissey, and Kelly
have all been mon of great determine
ton, and traits Of character of no com
mon order. but Kelly's reputation is NOT
stained by the faint of corruption that
rendered Tweed odous, and his culture
puts him on decidedly different plane
from that occupied by either of the other
two men. 1t is not easy to sec where
another leader would arise capable of hold
ing Tammany's forces in control as Kelly
has done for some years past.

THE committee on elections Of tho
house reported on the 9th day of July
that Mr.. Craig was entitled to the scat
held by Mr.. Shelley. So overwhelming
was the proof that the latter had taken
the seat upon certificate based on mon
strous frauds that eight of tho nine demo-
Gratis on the committee were forced to
vote in favor of seating Mr.. Craig, Yet
Mr.. Shelley has, ever since the report
was made, continued to occupy place to
which he has no right whatever, and has
continued to draw the salary that belongs
to another man. A house that permits
such wrong to 80 unrighted shows a
strange indifference to its own dignity
and privileges, to say nothing of the vio-
lation of honesty involved, Mr.. Craig's
politics may not be pleasing to the ma
jority, but that is no reason for longer
keeping him from that which is his own.
Mr.. Shelley, by the decision of the cleo
tions committee, has no more right to the
seat he occupies than Sioux Indian, and
it is hard to SEQ why body that pro-
fesses to be so jealous of it's privileges
continues to permit an outsider to take
part in its deliberations.

CURRENT COMMENT.


Forecnsting an American Triumph.
Regarding the Chicago Mr. Chandler is
justified in pointing to the Unprecedented
run Of the Louisiana, Of tho Cromwell
line, from wharf TO wharf between New
York and New Orleans in five days and
fifteen hours as q triumph Of beam en-
gincs and externally.fred boilers with
brick furnaces. IL will be recalled that
the London Engineer recently insisted that
whenever the fires were urged under
boilers like the Chicago's there would DO
n furious pfiming. ITO 20 to sea," 1t said,
with such boilers is simply to court de-
struction." Yet tho fre.brick furnaces
in the Louisiana, although originally a
makeshift, have now lasted two or three
years and given wonderful performances.
Possibly, therefore, we may have in the
Chicago another great American triumph
in marine engines and boilers against
gloomy forecast, like the old American
triumphs OF 1862 in revolving turrets,
low freeboard, and big guns.-New York

WITH each holiday season come the
most remarkable achievements of the year
in the engraving and printing art, and in
the race between the artists of Europe and
our own country it is pleasant to SEQ that
the product of American talent is in no
way inferior to that abroad. The achieve.
ment in color printing by L. Prang G.
Co., of Boston, as shown in their Christ
mas and New Year cards, is as wonderful
as the designs of their artists are beauti-
full, and in scanning their remarkable
reproductions in color of flower and
foliage one. cannot help thinking that
here, at least, perfection has been reached.

A prohibitory paper looks for success
in 1883 because Lincoln was elected only
four years after Fremont was defeated.
But when Fremont was beaten, he got
1,3il. 200 votes, or about one-third of the
whole. st. John got less than 100000, or
perhaps one-sixty-sixth of the whole.
Fremont got considerably more than a
third Of the electoral votes, aud st. John
did not get any.-Boston Herald.
