For the first time in the history of the city,
we believe, municipal bonds for $1,OOO,OOO,
bearing 8 per cert interest, have been sold at
1O1. This is for the Croton Water Fund. Con-

he receives for his management of the business.

The discovery that the law against tho landing OF
paupcrs in this country from steamships docs not
prevent them from walking into the country over
the Canadian line will probably lead 10 remedy
next winter from Congress. Meanwhile. not many

sayantare can bc taken of tho defect in the law,
and for the present season the end is nigh.

The Paradise of Skaters.

Holland is the paradise of
skaters, its highways being ca
nails which are covered with ice
nearly half the year.. The ladies
there go shopping on skates,
boys skate to and from school,
older members of the family go
to church on skates; the post
man delivers his letters, and the
doctor visits his patients on
them, and even the solemn pas
tor moves on skates when he
visits his parishioners. Dairy
maids skate to town with pals
OF milk, Of which not a drop is
spilled, and farmers daughters
skate to villages with a full bas-
ket of eggs in each hand. Dur
ing the Spanish invasion several
victories were won BY the ma
tive soldiers who, on skates,
suddenly moved on the forces OF
Alya, and as quietly retired to
their own camp. For a period
of more than 400 years the sol.
diers have been trained TO per
form eVolutions on skates

. A Woman's wit.

Many of the first settlers OF
Illinois were rude in speech and
rough in manner. Money was
scarce with them and service
was paid in produce. Gov. B.
illustrates these incidents of
frontier life by the following
anecdote
One day there came to his of
flee a young man, accompanied
by a young woman.
"Be you the squire? 2" asked
the manly youth.
eyes, sir"
"Can you tie the knot for us
right away?"
eyes, sir"
Glow much do, you charge e.
"One dollar is the legal fee,
sir"
"Will you take your fee in
beeswax?"
Eyes, if you can't pay the
cash.
"Well go ahead and tie the
knot, and I'll fetch in the wax
"No," said the squire, think
ing it a good chance for a little
fun, "bring in the beeswax first
and then I'll marry you"
Reluctantly the youth went
out to where the horse upon
which, Darby and Joan fashion ,
they had ridden, stood, and
brought the wax in q sack. On
being weighed its value was
found to be only sixty cents.
"Wal," said the anxious
groom, "tie the knot and I'll
fetch more wax next week."
mo, sir, don't trust ; that is
against the rules of this Office"
Slowly the disappointed youth
turned to go out saying: "Come
Sal, let's CO."
II say, mister" answered Sal,
with a woman's wit, "can't you
marry us as far as the wax will
go7"
Yes, / can and Will," replied
the Squire laughing /; and he
did.-Ariel.

Wire Fence.

Out here we fence with wire,
posts one rod, sometimes more,
apart. Sharpen them near the
Kitchen door to save chips.
Load into front emd of wagon,
drive Oh TO the line and stand
on the wagon bottom behind
the posts and use a twenty
pound post maui to drive with.
One man will drive more than
half as many as two working to-
gether. Let him go ahead and
prod down the holes with a bar
as far as the number of posts in
the wagon will reach, then come
back and drive just by a hole,
chuck a post into it with a thud
and drive it. Use a measure as
long as is desired to have the
post above ground | use a lath,
four feet ; q little practice will
suffice to do almost without a
measure. 1t is not fun to drive
posts, but when the ground is
full of water 100 is only a fair
days work for one man with a
team. Will some one tell of a
fast and comfortable way of
stretching the wire. | have
never enjoyed myself at that
work.-A Kansas Farmer.
The ideas above put fourth
have been elaborated for. MANY
years in the industrial columns
of the Picayune, and they will
ID time be generally adopted.
This digging post holes q foot
square and thirty inches deep
for a little wire fence post three
by four inches, which may be
sharpened and driven into the
earth when wet at quarter the
expense, and making a better fit,
is a waste of labor and money.
But the post should be season
ed, and painted with linsSed oil
and pulverized charcoal or creo-
sote or petroleum. Goal tar may
do if the wood is thoroughly
seasoned.-N. o. Picayune.

The same reprehensible Gus
tom, SO common in this State,
of frequently changing the text
books of the public schools, it
seems, has been practiced in
Ohio, until the Legislature of
that State has taken hold of the
question, and proposes, by d
bill passed by the same7 to finally
dispose of it in the most effec-
tive manner. By the terms of
the law, every school board in
the State will have the selection
of it's own textbooks, and may
buy them where they can be
had the cheapest. 1t not only
prevents a publishers monopo-
ly, but it gives local retail deal
ers in school books a chance,
and thus assists in the distribu-
ton of the money spent for
books. This bill will doubtless
pass the Senate, and then, after
its workings have been tested,
it is not probable that this ques-
ton will trouble future Legisla-
lures. It's passage will be uni
versally approved by the people.
So says an Ohio exchange.-N.
