A REAL

Notwithstanding the absurd charges OF
the Sun, ever, BODY knows that neither
the assessor nor the coll ctor of taxes
could, under any circumstances evenii so
inclined. in the least favor IA railroad COM
pany. 1t is not within the scope of either
Office to furnish the slightest opportunity
for any partially of the kind. On the
other hand a member of the council who
wishes to favor, or merely not to antag-
onize n railway corporation, has every op
%pOrtunity to yet in effective work. A few
years ago, Mr.. Cnrlett-who had been
supported by the Sun on the ground that
he, too. would do right under all circum
stances, was afterwards accused by that
journal Of making the interests of the
people subservient to those Of the
Union Pacific, of which he was-as
Messrs. Corlett and Riner now
archie regularly retained counsel
The Sun denounced Mr.. Corlett in un
measured terms and declared us dellber
ate and well founded opinion hat no
railroad lawyer was to be trusted in a leg
%islstive position. A change seems to
have come DER the spirit Of its dream.
and it now supports Mr.. Riner quite rs
strongly as it once opposed his associate
Yet "a an ordinary mind, the principle in
,olved is the same aud the danger equally
rs great if not greater. The reason urged
in Mr.. Kiner's behalf-,hat there is
special need of his legal ability-rcudero
1t still more dangerous to trust him, be-
cause 1t lives him A greater in
iuence han he would other
wise possess. In paint OF fact, however,
at least two other Republican can ~li'latc-
for the council are lawycrs-lhe gentle
men nominated in Albany county. 1t is
recognized by all that railroad interests
sometimes conflict with those OF the
people, and it can only be safe to trust

And with his eyes what lips would fall to

He spoke. what time he said: Sweetheart,
farewell"
With sweet caress, he clasped mo to his

And looked upon me as with angels eyes,
And kissed my brow, and kissed my lips,
and kissed
The tears away that now began to rise;
And ever the same tale of love would tell
What time he sadly spoke; Sweetheart

And so he went away, and am weary

With talent that none can gainsay
She fashions the strangest knick- knaeks
She paints on myriad plaques
The whitest Of lilies
And daffy-down-dillies
And tulips and punches of "Jaes."
Fen boxes that erstwhile held soap
Afford her wild genius scope.
She paints on them pansies
And arabesque fancies
And anchors, the emblem OF hope.
On plates at the table we find
In brightest OF colors outlined
Geraniums, myrtle,

And snakes OF original kind.
She paints with her might and her main
Frogs, lizards, q stork or n crane.

New YoRK, Aug. 2s.-The Brooklyn
bridge police have boon on the LOOKOUT
the past week for Charles y. Bishop, tho
man who announced that he would jump
from balloon over the bridge. He aid
not appear, however, and the last &C
counts Of him state TINT he jumped tho
town of Lowell, Mass, owing three
DAVIS board bill. Police on duty on the
bridqethis morning read of Blshop's jump
and were congratulating themselves upon
the fact TINT they would probably not be
troubled by him for time at least
While they were telling about Bishop and
his "iump,n young man all prepared
for the occasion eluded their vigilance
and Jumped from the centre span at the
south roadway of the bridge. He was
picked up by friends in boat who were
waiting for him, rowed ashore and
arrested.
Lawrence Donovan, the hero OF this
latest lump IL n prassmnn. William Reid,
the foreman of the press room says that
Donovan's plan TO jump from the bridg"
WINS definitely formed about two weeks
ago during a dispute in the Office one
night about the chances of escaping from
IL alive. Donovan finally aaid that he
was not afraid TO try the jump which
killed Odlum.
Foreman Reid offered to bet any
| amount tbat he would not try II, so bet
of $500 was arranged. Preparations
were made at once, and last night all was
ready. Everybody In the Police Gdtette
building knew about 1t and wassanxious
to see the jump. Donovan did not work
however, and was aroused OF 4.30 as the
nnipht shift went off. He was imne-
diately dressed for the Jump. pair of
heavily padded drawers were put on, the
shoes were blue canvas the soles
Of which were weighted with two
pounds of leads. Thus attired,
a LIGHT breakfast WAS partaken of, and
Donovan and n friend proceeded to the
bridge entrance near which wagon was
in waiting. They Jumped on board and
were driven to the centre Of the bridge
