At the meeting OF the Board OF Commits.
sionors yesterday, the frat mater Of inter-
est that came up was the report Of the
special committee on occupying the CAPT.
toll building. This report created good
deal OF discussion. Mr.. Peterson thought
the committee had not done its duty; it
should have got the hest terms from the
city it could, and then talk about autbori-
ty. Mr.. Stein defended the committee.
The proposition to expend S75, 900 in pre-
pairing the building for occupancy itapproV-
ed by the people, was also objected to;
Mr.. Delbrugge thought $4,000 or $4,000
would be enough. Finally tho report was
recommitted, with Instructions to tho com,
lnitteo to obtain more favorable teTns.
Mr.. Maxwell, Of the committee to open
the streets laid out on the subdivision Of
the poor house farm, recommended that
Henry Holman be ordered to vacats the
street occupied by him, and that others
having streets hlockaded be required to
align an agreement TO vacate at any time

The RACERS.

The speed horses are to be found oppo-
site the class horses, along the western
fence. Over forty horses entered in the
races OF the week were to be found yestsr-
day afternoon, and there were several
arrivals last night. The balance, those in
the races OF the latter part Of the week,
will be on hand to-day and tomorrow.
This department was one OF the most in
teresting TO be iopnd yesterday, as in fact
it is at all times, even when all
others are in complete running
order. About Bob Anderson's anvil was
formed group Of owners and drivers
critically watching his scientific work as
he shod the flyers for to.day'ssport, while
on the edyea Of the group were number
OF those on the outside eagerly drinking
in every word that was rttereda and hoping
to pick up "pointer." A stroll through
the aheds wac interesting and instructive.
Grooms were to be seen fixing up their
stalls in a fancy manner with blankets OF
yariegated ColorS, oiling harness or wash.
ing their sulkies, and II not doing any OF
these things, rubbing or washing their
pets. There are some horses entered that
have big regulations, and all OF them
seem to be in good condition. Some fine
sport may be looked for during the
progreas Of the races il the officers

JOHNNY'S FROG.

What He Gave for 1t, and the Kind of
.Gra'm'thers' He Don't Think Much of
Johnny looked over a fence and saw
q boy by a pond. The boy was getting
something out Of the pond, and Johnny
wondered what it was.
1t wasn't a chicken, or a duck, or a
goose, or a dog, Or a cat. Johnny said
to the boy:
"What's that?" And the boy said:
"Don't you know a bull frog when
you see him? Amt he a rouser, though?
He's as big as a dog"
"Yes," said johnny, 'if the dogs a
very little dog. l wish you'd let me
have him."
"What will you give for him?" said
the boy.
Johnny took everything out of his
pockets. There vas a top and five
marbles and some shiny stones and a
slate pencil and a broken bubble pipe
and a pocket-book and a sleeve-button
and a piece of gingerbread and a Sun
day-school paper. The pocket-book
had thirty-two cents in it The boy
said:
"I'Il take that money if you'll give
me the pocket-book, too"
So Johnny gave it to him, and he
threw the frog yer the fence. 1t gave
q Jump, and almost went over Johnny's
head. Johnny Was afraid it would get

A New Kind of Coffin.

The Antwerp correspondent of .
French journal gives Il description of .
new kind of coffin, for which the in
ventor, a Belgian, had hoped to secure
a place in the exhibition, though to his
great modification the Committee re.
fused to allow it to figure among the
other attractions of the big show. The
popularity of the ''cercueil perfec.
tonne is an ingenious piece of mech
anism fitted into it which e%tlectually
obv:ates the possibility Of being buried
alive. The pressure of the earth
thrown on the coffin liberates Il sort OF
.stiletto, which is SO placed that on
being disengaged it pierces the heart
of the occupant. An idea prevails in
France that the mistake Of burying 4
living person is by no means so rare an
occurrence as could be desired. The
writer of an article which appeared
some time ago in the Figaro stated that
it was an exceedingly common thing
for Frenchmen to insert a clause in
their will directing their surviving rela-
tives to call in a surgeon to perform
the operation which the Belgian coffin
performs automatically. That appre.
tensions of the same sort are not I'm.
common in Belgium the very invention
of the continuance in question shows.
Had the ''cercucil perfectionne'' been
known in Meyerbeer's time, he need
not have asked his friends on his death-
bed. as he did, to hurry him with a load

The Remorse Which Is Sure to FoAfow
D~isrespectful Behavior Toward Par.
ents.
A story is told as authentic of a young
man in the Highlands of Scotland who
became a drunkard, a gambler, and in
the expressive Scotch phrase, "a ne'er-
do-well." His father owned q small
farm which had been in the family for,
two hundred years. But to save Jock
from the consequences OF his misdoing,
he was obliged to mortgage it, far be-
yond the possibility of redemption. The
old man sank under the disgrace and
misery, and died, leaving his wife, two
or three children and worthless jock.
But the shock OF his death brought the,
boy 10 his senses. He foreswore cards
and whisky. came home and turned in,
to hard work. He toiled steadily for
years. At last his mother was s.struck
with death"
Jock, now a middle-aged, grizzled
farmer, stern and grave, was sent for
in haste. He stood in silence by her
death-bed a moment and then broke,
forth:
'.Mither! mither! gin ye see feyther
thefe, tell hlm the farms II W agen.:
An it's a recht Wi me..'
The story reminds us of DR.. Johnson,
who came when he was al old man of
seventy to stand in the market-place Of
Uttoxeter. his gray head bare in the
peiting rain, in bitter remembrance OF
some act OF disobedience to his father
on that spot when he was a boy.
But of what avail are these tears or
acts of atonement when the old father
or mother whom we have hurt and
sighted so cruelty is dead? Do they
see? Do they forgive? Who can say?
ut is only" said a mother lately,
.'since my own children speak to me-
with rudeness and contempt that I un-
derstand how great the debt was'which
l owed to my Owl mother and how
poorly l paid it"
Many a gay girl who reads these
words, who treats her mother as q
member of the family who does the
work of a servant without a servants
wages, OR a lad who filings about the
money which his old father is fast
spending his feeble life to earn, will
waken some day to utter their remorse
in an exceeding bitter cry, to which.
alas! there can come no answer!-
