asking the reason for his removal on the

no amount of indiscretion on his own part,

Justice and reason are on the side of the
bill to abolish compulsory pilotage, but last
winter the New York pilots supported by
the Knights Of LABOR managed to secure a
majority against the bill. A strong effort
will be made at this session to reverse the sit
uation, and there is fair prospect of sue
cess Now that the Congressional elections
are over, and there are no more to come for
two years, the Knights are likely to lose a
good deal of their influence with Congress
men. and the latter will be freer to follow
the dictates Of justice and common sense.

SATURDAY MORNING a gentleman
went into Owen, Moore & Co.'s, bought
an elegant Four-in-Hand Necktie, and
handed the clerk 80 cents. He was con-

told him he had just purchased necktie
for half price, and so he had. The joke
is, everybody gets them at half price,
too.

they should certainly go by the Hoosac Tunnel
route Four cXpress trains leave Boston daily
All the coaches are first class, quick time is made
and connections by this line are always sure. The
scenery via this route is delightful, romantic and
picturesque. 1t is also novelty to pass through
the Ioosac Tunnel, distance Of four and three
eights miles, without smell of smoke or gas. No
better route can he found than the Ntohburg and
Hoosac Tunnel, while the fare Is always as low as

two distinguished men. AT first Joseph had

Joseph, himself, left no clue to their meaning.
OF their purpose we can only conjecture; and
one theory is about as good as another. Along
the high bluff which ovcrhangs one side of the
lake the Count built a long shed faced With
lattice work, under which pleasure parties
could take shelter during inclement weather
Over the entrance to this refuge he carved in
the Italian language: Nom ignaron0ii miSeriS
