You have observed that New York is
spending an unknown amount of money
TO duplicate her a ueduct. 1t will be
thirty miles long, and is expected to cost
only 81 900, QUO. This, however, is SIS
per head or per soul for the population
of the city. In the section Immediately
north of New ork, eighteen miles long.
are fourteen shafts, three open cuts and
four portals to the tunnel-heads. The
finest machinery probably on the globe
is being used along the lineo oil this work.
Six thousand men are employed on the
aquednct; accidents are happening
every day or two. causing considerable
loss of life. To look along these shafts
with men at work by electric lights
and the steam-drills plugging away
and tingling while people are shouting,
is a great scene. The tunnel is a horse
shoe arch and thirteen feet high by nine
feet wide, and can hold q locomotive
with a smo ,e-stack. There are five
courses of brick in the arch and the
aqueduct is a foot thick on the bottom
and sides. Streams have to lie di orted
to let the aqueduct proceed pumping
stations are created.
1t seems that the figure 10 Is not con
sidered unlucky here, for the conduit is
thirteen feet high by thirteen feet nine
inches wide. 1t will supply 32i 900, 900
gallons OF water a day, and require
100, 600, 600 bricks to line the tunnel.
The machinery to put up this aqueduot
cost $50. 0U0; the boarding houses to
feed the men have cost 500, 900, and
the monthly pay-rolls amount to $780,

The tobacco business is exclusively n
ladies occupation here. In every traffic
we find two, or, if the space allows,
three charming, daintily clad, bewitch-
ingly smiling daughters OF Eve, and
many a young student %squanders time
and money for the sake Of a chat with
a pretty cigar girl and the privilege of
smoking a fragrant weed, the flavor of
which has been made wonderfully de-
lightful 10y its contact with the ROSY red
lips of the fair saleslady. She will
never refuse to light the cigar-for a
small compensation, Of course for she
has an eye to business, charmingly
naive though she may seem.
: Jenna has but one specially cigar
store-that is, but one in which i'm
ported cigars are sold. This establish
ment is. of course, frequented princi-
pally by strangers. Here six OF the
faire5t of the fair attends to the wants
of the spendthrift American, to whom
the expensive indulgence In aromatic
Havanas is by no means an unusual
luxury. The emperor smokes the long,
consumptiye and vicious-looking Nir-
ginia, and the loyal Austrian produc-
ton of villlinons shape and d~etestable
odor. l have heard many Americans
declare that they dread entering a coffee
house of Jenna on account of the ever
penetrating odor of this naiser weed.
1t is considered quite proper for a lady
to smoke, and | am told that few Aus
trian women would refuse a good cigar
cite. keally an important privilege as
well as an accomplishment, of VIII ch
their sisters in the north of America
can not boast. / fail to judge my coun-
trywomen correctly if this ACHE rement
of European civilization awakens their
envy.

Cocaine has been generally adopted into
medical practice as a local application to

which the Indians Of Peru chew to relieve
their fatigue and exhaustion. The dis

matter OF notoriety, and at times the

The Na,lo.ai Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint.
Almost every other man and woman you
meet has il. and the result is that the
number OF pseudo remedies for it is as
numerous as Pharaoh's host. They are
tor the most part worthless. There is.
however, a searching eradicant Of this
distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it
TO a foremost place among the staple med
lcines Of America. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters exterminates dyspepsia with more
certainty and promptitude than any known
remedy, and is a most genial %invigorant,
appetizer and aid to secretion. These ara
not empty assertions, rs Thousands Of our
eountrymen and women who have exper
fenced It's effects are aware, but are backed
up by irreiragable proofs laid before the
public. The bittens also produce q rcgu-
lar habit Of body and give a healthy slim,
ulous to the urinary organs.

The law OF congress regulating the ten
ure of office is "a thing of shreds and
patchwork" 1t was enacted in place Of
the original statute having the same title
which was passed to prevent Andrew
Jackson removing under any pretext
whatever the federal officers under the
administration. When Gen. Grant sue
ceeded johnson as president, he asked
that the law be repealed. But the mem
bens of the senate did not like TO relin-
quish the new power with which they had
been clothed, and instead OF repeating
the obnoxious law. they re-enacted it in a
modified form. 1t was, while being re
modelled, subjected to various amend
ments. and to some changes which were
not amendments. As a result, when il
appeared in the form of a statute, it was
found to lack perspicuity, coherency and
consistency. 1t was 40 patched and dove
tailed together as 10 be obscure, if not
unintelligible in its essential provisions.
SO long as the president and senate
were in political accord, the tenure Of
office act was a very unimportant affair.
Even when Mr.. Arthur was president,
with a Democratic senate, it did not seri-
ously affect appointments, as he was not
likely to make any official changes that
would bear a political significance. With
a Democratic president, desiring to put
his political adherents in Office, and u Re
publican senate desiring to keep their
friends in office. the act and the interpre-
tations that it will bear become a serious
matter.
1t is evident from the act in question
that the president may suspend any
public officer when the senate is not in
session. He is required to report within
thirty days after the senate shall meet
such a case Of of official suspension, and
the appointment mado to temporarily fill
the vacancy 80 created. If the senate as
sents TO the appointment Of the new Off
Ger, he will hold the Office for tho full
term. If the senate rejects the new APP
pointee, the president shall appoint
another man in his place. If the senate
shall also reject this appointment, then
what is to be done? The law beyond
this point is silent, or so obscure az to be
on the verge of uuintelligibility, as to
what is the further duty or %prerogative of
the president.
Ii is TO be presumed, however, from
such shadowy meaning as the act pos
sesses that, if the senate should adjourn
without confirming an appointment made
by the president, the former occupant Of
the Office would become reinstated by the
operation Of law. In that case, however,
within an hour a~fterward, or Immediately,
the presidents power Of suspension dur
ing the recess of the senate returns to his
hands, and he may suspend anew the
old official who is trying to get warm
again in the seat. This is the purport of
The te~nure-of-ofhce act. as clearly as it
can be ascertained from the erazy-quilt
phraseology in which it appears on the
statute book.

sciption OF his hnrem;

portions, as yet but children, some

draperies with golden girdles, their arms
and bosoms wholly nude and covered
with bnrbaric ornaments OF gold. Their
only garment, the lower skirt, floating In
light folds about their limbs, is
one OF very costly material bordered
heavily with gold. On the ends Of
heir fingers they wear long nails OF gold,
apering sharply, like the claws Of q bird.

many choice Chinese and Indian girls
purchased annually for the royal hnrem
by agents from Bangkok and Bengal, i'm

uow /. B..ssr I, trapped

ibfopkNIn AfAkltsA -.
a beaver Is a very dialcnlt animal to
trap The tral,per knows at s glance the
various marks OF the animal eal,ssi
signs these discovered. the next opera
ton Is to find ont how the beaver gets
Ia his house, which is generally in shall
low water. Then a steel trap is sunk
in the water. care being taken to g
late the depth, so that il may not be
more than twelve or fourteen inches be
low tho surface; this is accomplished by
either rolling in a log or building In
large stones Immediately over the
trap Is the bait, made from the castor
or medicine gland OF the beaver, sus-
pended from a stick, so as just to clear
the water; with u long cord and log of
cedar wood as a buoy Ito marx to posi-
ton OF the trap when the beayer swims
away with it, the trap is complete.
The poor little builder, perhaps re.
turning to his homo and family, scents
the tempting castor purposely placed in
his road; he car not reach it as he
swims, so no feels about with his legs
for something to stand on; this, too, has
been crafty placed for him. Putting
down his feet to stretch up for the co
eted morsel he finds them suddenly
clasped in an iron embrace, there is no
hope for escape. The log revealing the
hiding place Is seized by the trapper, and
the imprisoned beaver dispatched by a
single low on the head, and the trap
set again.
A trapper will sometimes spend many
weeks camped near a good beaver
village. The principal use made of the
fur now is in the manufacture of ron
nets and in making cloaks. The long
hair is pulled out, and the under fur
shaved down close and even by a ma
chine, ONE of it is still felted into a
kind Of cloth. The castor, too, is, or
rather used to be-, an article OF consider
able trade for medicinal purposes, but
in these days of progress it has become
nearly obsolete, although it is still pur-
chased from the Indians.
