Charles Henry Carter, young colored man,
living near the RrightwoOd race track, was
found dead yesterday morning in the orchard
belonging TO Mr. Saul, on the 9TH street road.
An examination showed that he had been
frozen To death. 1t appears that he had been
drinking i'll the city saturday night, and
started for home ont the eth street road about
midnight. Ii is thought from his foot tracks
that he lost his way and wandered into the
orchard, where he was found, and there sue
cumbed TO the cold.
on Saturday, John Jupiter died in an I'M
tenantable shanty, between 4th and 9TH, and
streets northwest, from the effects of the cold
weather.

to his old mother in Philadelphia, his
winsome California bride.
The mill was to be shut down that win
ter and moved to where timber was more
plenteous. New and additional machin-
cry would be put in and early in the
spring Mac would return to ran the
whole business as half owner.
The parlor of the Eldorado hardly held
the invited guests, and when the bride
and groom, bridesmaids and bridegrooms
assembled, the stuffy old room was full
almost to suffocation. We were young
then though, two hearts were to be made
one and happy. Other hearts doubtless
were planning the how and when togeti-
er with to whom and where, so nobody
appeared to pay much attention to the
stutfiness of the parlor nor the aged ap-
pearance of its furniture. AS for myself
[ can answer truly that | envied Mac, but
could have been consoled somewhat could
I have popped the question to the first
bridesmaid, a laughing, rogueish-eyed,
brown-haired young lady and former
classmate of the bride. Who is it, has
not seen a wedding, and who doesn't
know all about wells, orange blossoms,
~claw-hammers and white neckties. Suf-
fcient to the purpose be it said, they were
married. The bride was kissed; some
who were not kissed, perhaps wished
they had been, but discreetly kept silent
and Miss Violet Chase, as such, ceased to
to exist.
Next morning Mr.. and Mrs. Mcleod
started on their journey. The day after
found me at home after an absence Of
nearly three years.

dent of Brooklyn thinks that he has been
treated as badly as DR.. Holmes. Mr.. Jer-
ONE B. Wass is a park inspector and a

paper referred to him as jerome B. Sass,

are trying to persuade him that he has
good grounds for a libel suit. The paper
which did Mr.. Wass this gross injustice is

AS Things are Drift ng.

France owes thousands of millions of
francs; she keeps a standing army Of 800,
900 men on a peace footing; her people
are taxed high, and yet the authorities are
considering a scheme to eXpend 100000
900 francs to enlarge the Seine and make
it possible to drive ocean steamers up to
piers built in the heart Of Paris. There
will be two considerations which will
have weight in this matter. The first will
be to deliver goods from and to foreign
countries a trihe cheaper; the second will
be to keep occupied some thousands of
men who, without this outlet, might be-
come idIers. France has more dread of
seeing some thousands Of her mel idle,
than she has of an attack from a foreign
power. With such examples before them,
our statesmen ought not to affect to have
such a horror of a surplus revenue. Ra-
ther, the tax on lu1uries should be in
creased, on necessities reduced the rich
should be forced to pay their full share of
taxes, and with the surplus money we
ahould build ships and fortresses, forge
guns, establish fine art and practical
schools; deepen and broaden rivers; build
reservoirs to hold back the spring fresh
cts; establish great irrigation systems in
the arid lands and continue in a hundred
other ways to give work and to make o
for our constantly swelling hosts; to adj
vance the standard of the education of the
masses and above all to give employment
TO people who may want work, and thus
prevent the gathering in the great centres J
of thousands of idle men. One riot costs
more than a line of battle-ships. 1t is a
fearful thing to try to dam or hold back
the waters of a great river. To permit
people by thousands to congregate and re
main in great cities, without either means
or work, is more dangerous than it would
be to try to hold back Niagara by a Golfer
dam.-SaH Lake Tribune

Ing its pipes at a depth Of four feet, The
Manufacturers company commenced
ditGhing on Main street, across Fourteenth,
yesterday, Their ditch is six feet deep.
1t was commenced about forty feet south

distance north. The street was first dug
half across, and this piece Of ditch then
bridged over and the other side Of the
street dug up, Pipe laying will begin in
