pression, as much as to say "what an idiot you are."
 N. B.-lt is singular. The old man who made the permanent investment with his greenbacks thought was ras- cal, and Sykes thinks Eve not yet got good sense.
 "They steal those barrels and take them down into cellar, and when the election takes place they make bonfres of them in the streets. Every block in New York has its gang of boys, who steal bar rels," said Sykes.
 " can't believe it."
 My dear sir. New York is run by gangs. These boys are the most harm less in the lot. At the City Hall there are gangs of respectable looking gentle men who do nothing else bat roll away barrels that do not belong to them. The barrels are full of the peoples money. You can't see them, but the barrel steal ing business is going on right now under the very eyes of the police and the wood- en goddess of Justice on top of the City Hall. Every once in a while an investi- gatipg committee throws an electric light on the scene, and then everybody is sur- prised at the size of the barrels and the prominence of the members of the gang"
 then told him about the man who was so familiar with the strangers green backs.
 "You acted like fool in telling the old man about it. Don't you know that ln New York the perceiver is worse than the thiet ?"
 How is that?"
 eff you perceive any crime being com mitted, you arc fool if you say anything about it. The witness is generally lock- ed up in the House of Detention, and the prisoner goes free on bail. That's why I say the perceiver is worse than the thief."
 " But don't the people do anything to these big men who roll off barrels of the public mpney2"
 " Yes, they re-elect them"

Polly and l, and that was all, Were there to see the ghos,ly ball: Tongs and scuttlc, hearth dogs and cat, Venus de Milo and mandarin fat Table and lamp and chairs where we sat- In rhythmic measure went round and round, In rhythmic measure wi;h never sound, While Pollys arms as she wound and wound, Looked like fiddler drawing his bow Across his fiddle to and fro; The strings were those of the ske ein, you know :;

But my lips were mute, for was afraid To speak my thoughts. So held ny peace And borrowed hope and took new lease Of a riendshp l hated yet dreaded might

 For Polly was oddish and queer in her ways, Her yeas were nays and her nays were yeas And it often took me days and days To find out fl she was vexed or pleased, Or if i'd been wounded or only teased; But her ladyship was this night appeased;

Dr. Bailey's Prize.
red. s. Ryman, in GoodaIl,s Sun.

Fred. $. Ryman, in Goodall's Sun.
 Yesterday it was my special good for tune to meet Dr. George II. Bailey, of this city, the we'll known owner ot the famous opera glasses that once belonged to the Empress Eugenie, and thinkiag that description of the doctors prize might be interesting to your readers l have taken some pains to get al the facts of the case.
 This morning called on the doctor, a jolly, genial, good-looking bachelor per. haps thirty or forty years old, and he showed me the famous treasures and their history.
 The original cost of the glasses was $ coo. They were ordered at Paris by Napoleon III. as present for the Elm press Eugenie. During the Franco Prus. sian war as is we'll known she was obliged to fly from Paris and being pressed by poverty she disposed of her jewels and ;rinkets one by one. These glasses, l be- lievc, were privately sold to member of the Seventh New York regiment, Tim tiske's company, who were stopping in London at the time. The price paid was S3 900. and they were presented to Colo nel Fiske and his wife on Christmas, 1871. just eleven days before he was shot by the cewardly Stokes, Mrs. Fiske later disposed of them for $2 900, and the doc tor bought them, he says, for piece of property that cost s. goo; "but," says he, !" would not part wlEh them for treble that sum-"
 The glasses may be seen almost any time at his office on Boylstnn street, and l can assure my readers that they are worth going to see.
 Five hundred and one brilliant dia- monds are used in decorating them, though they only arc, think, smaller than the average opera-glasses. The body and sides of the bandle" are made of pure twenty-two carat gold enamel. The thumb-screw IS composed of twenty five or thirty pure white first water dia- monds arranged in the form of a wreath. The rims on the face of the glasses are edged with perhaps one hundred beautiful diamonds and the body is studded with eighteen rows of glistening brilliants.
 In the center of tho front brace is a large, pure white, costly gem, about which are clustered twenty-five smaller diamonds.
 ] should confess my indebtedness to the St Louis Glc6e-Democraf for a DOT tion of this description and history. Any one coming to Boston for the purpose of seeing the sights should not fail to take in this "vision rare," and can assure them that a grander gentleman than its owner, Dr. Geo. H. Bailey, will not be found in many day.

Cure Your Cough.

A cough should not be neglected as it often leads to consumption. For the cure of all lung disorders no remedy will com pare to '' Mans6eld's Hungarian Balsam for the Lungs" Thousands have been cured by it, physicians prescribe it and it is the King of all lung medicines. If you have consumption try it-it has cured thousands. A few doses heals and cures as many certificates testify. Ask your druggist for itA Prepared by the Mans field Medicine Co.,, Memphis, Tenn.

" Yes; shall break the engagement" she said, folding her arms and looking defiant "it is really too much trouble to converse with hlm; he's as deaf as post, and talks like he had mouthful of mush. Besides, the way he hawks and spits is disgusting" Don't break the engage mens for that; tell him to take Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It will cure him com pletely." "Well. I'll tell him. do ate to break it of, for in all other respects he's quite too charming" Of course, it cured his catarrh.

 And the old man is in the main swee, tempered under reverses and disap. pointment. The new men who have pushed their way to the front he would like to advise and instruct, if they would only listen to him. Not long ago he wlote an elaborate article entitled, "A Voice from the Sentinel on the Watch. tower" It was five columns long, and signed Pro Bono Publico." It would doubtless have created an immense sen sation and purified the politics of the country, but unfortunately the editor to whom it was sent lost it, and the colonel has never found time to rewrite it. In various ether ways he shows that he is not hostile to the progress of the age. But he keeps out of the swim. He is more oi spectator than an actor in the busy life of the period. As the years fit by the colonels head grows whiser and his eyes are dim, but as kindly as of yore. He cannot be with us much longer, and, when he leaves us, he will be missed. It will be then recollected that he bore him self manfully in the most tremendous period of our history. The shock and the utter wreck of defeat came upon him at an age when he no longer had the elasticity of youth. New conditions, some of them unjust and monstrous, con- fronted him. He could not unlearn the lessons and habits of a lifetime and begin

The l.tneunan.

The ex superintendent, Mr.. Jarvis, OF
the city fire alarm, said few days
before the last yearly election OF Council
for new lineman, that the g.ntlem an
Mr.. John ]. Taggart, who WAS elected
over Mr.. Chad wick, that Mr.. Taggart
was good m an, but he could not elm b
the poles, which was requirement for
the person who held the position, and
he hoped Council would have foresiR bit
enough 10 re elect the old lineman, VINO
was first class man and thoroughly
understood the duties Of his otiic CO. Mr..
Jarvis and Mr.. Chad wick had thorou h.
lE overhauled the wires and other mat
ters pertaining " this, now one of The
most important public conveniences in
the city, and had rything in apple
pie or'ier, when Council, BY its usual
silly manner In running the affairs { ( .he
city To suit themselves, and not the
public, displaced Mr.. Chad wick, when
Mr. Jarvis resigned, ~ he said he had
not the time to instruct the new line
man in his duties, which are very oner
GUS, II they are properly attended to-,
and the salary paid won id not warrant
the ex superintendent in giving the 20
sition ~ much time as IL would re-.
quire.
Mr.. Jarvis saved the city about one
hundred dollars in RAINING the alarm
wires on the telegraph poles In the west
ern part Of the city, by sxempting the
poless from city taxes, whereas new
polos would have to have been erected
by Council.
II is said Mr.. Taggart resigned be-
cause the duties were too onerous, and
besides, he had difficulty In climbing
the poles, az is often required, as the
wires frequently become entang led
with the telephone wires. Mr.. b Nc
Vey, 1t is said, will succeed Mr.. Tag
CART, and II remains To be seen whether

and has been in the past. W.
