His head is large and rather fine, but

There is an effort being made to have q

proposed to build az addition to the bridge

NARROWING THE RIVER cHASSEL.

LAST night after the city council had dis
posed OF al the business on hand number
of questions OF city importance were dis
cuSSed in 8 conversational way The one
that seemed 10 attract the most attention yvs,
the narrowing OF the channel Of the river in
order to gain more building ground some
OF those most familiar with the early history
said that the banks OF the river seemed &c
cidedly mashed on each other. aS they were
continually reaching out for each other. OF
course ali agreed upon the result OF suen
l.la,h It would narrow tbs channel o? tes
river until it could nos accommodate the
spring fool This might result IN a great
injury to the city The probability Tor such
Il result was considered 50 great that il was
aljnlEed by ali proper 70 take immediate
steps to stop the work OF growing land
How can we pa. quietus on IL" said
one who doubted very much If either the city
or county had any power 70 monkey with
the river in that kind Of STYLE. Some
claimed that the county had the control.
others said that The cisy was allowed some
control over the river and thc rizhs dele
gated included The changing OF hanss
There were SIN others who be-
hevei that the government alone coald
stop extending the hanks into the river.
After quite aa extensive conversation II
was decided 10 DO something at an early date
that will stop the eac.oachlneat The que--
ton VIII probably be sprung az the next
meeting OF tie council. which IS mex. Monday
night
The bridge question was also discussed L
was thought that there was a possibility OF
bridging the city into the water Each
bridge that is built lsssens the channel This
matter could Eoe easily lie heIpe,i snd it vas
thought the better plan to allow TIE banks TO

MURDER IN HAMPER.

the action of the United States court. Il
since appears thar the horrible crime wa.
committed in Harper county, near the Terri
tory, aId steps are being taken to prove that
such is the case, when he will be taken tc
that county and given Il trial by the state.
It i; reported that great excitement pre-
vaii5 in that section over the matter and
that if Moses is returned there he may b.

NO PROTECTION.

member Of the city council was talking
about the new curling and gathering of the
city, yesterday. He said he believed it
ought to be protected while it was ''green,
and then it could protect itself.
"Of course" he said, ''horses standing on
it would do a good deal of damage, hut it
can be repaired easily, and at far less ex-
pense than it can be protected by posts and
chains. The latter takes far too much room,
any how, and Main street is too narrow to
allow so much space. Suppose it was thus
protected and horses were hitched outside
the posts, they would make holes in the
ground where water would. accumulate and
Interfere with good drainage. The al
vantages connected with allowing the curb
ing and guttering to take care of itself l
think far greater than the other plan

suer and kept on going until it reached First

He Improved the Opportun,ty,

When Halton, one of the officers of
Charlemagne's household, went OH all
embassy to the Byzantine Court, he
was invited by the Greek Emperor to
dine, and placed by him in the midst
Of his mobiles. There was an establish
ed law among the Greeks that no one
at the Princes table should turn over
the body of any animal that was served
mp, but that they should eat of the part
that was uppermost. On this occa-
sion fresh-water fish was brought up
garnished with various sauces, and the
Ambassador, who knew nothing of the
customs of the country, unfortunately
turned the fish over, upon which the
courtiers, filled with Indignation, arose
and, addressing the Emperor, said:
''Do not suffer yourself, o Emperor,
to be treated with disrespect that was
never shown to any of your ancestors.
Command that this stranger, who has
broken your laws in your very presence
be instantly put to DEATH
The Emperor answered. turning to
Halton, and signing:
II cannot refuse the request OF my
Lords, but ask of me any other boon
but that of your life, and l will grant
it,
Halton reflected for moment. and
then said:
II will only ask Of yOla small favor,
most gracious sovereign, that all those
who saw me turn the fish over may
have their eyes put out
The Emperor, astonishcd at the
strangeness of this request, vowed that
he had not seen it done, and had only
pronounced the word of others.
The Empress also was perfectly pos
tive that she had seen nothing Of it;
and the mobiles one after another made
the same declaration. The result was
that as no one had seen the otfcnse he
could not be punished for it.

ST. PETER AND THE BASKETS.

st. Peter, from tho door Of Heaven ono day
For the first time to see the world in May.
Both bearing baskets
They were to bring back flowers more
fragrant far,
Than budding rose and blooming hawthorn
are;
They were to bring the praise of all the star
Back in their baskets.
The angel of thanksgiving, full of glee,
Donned q big hamper half as big as he;
But the collector Of petitions see,
With a small basket.
When they returned, St. Peter, as before,
Sat with his golden keys beside the door;
But each appeared to be in trouble sore
About his basket.
The angel of petitions bore sack
Cram full and bound uncouthly on his back;
Yet even then it seemed that he lack
OF bag and basket.
The angel of Thanksgiving blushed to feel
The empty ightness of his mighty creel;
"But three!" he muttered, turning on his
heel,
To hide his basket
Then spoke st. Peter: ''When again you go
On aprayer-gathering, you will better know
That mems petitions in the world below
Fill big basket.
"But when you gather up their thanks
For prayers well answered and forgiven
pranks,
For health restored and disentangled hanks,
Your smallest basket.
