bought this hat here to-day and l want it
changed" When / said, Sir. this is not o
hat store, but a shoe store" he started of,
He was quite sober. The other day an Ital-
ian asked me the price of a pair Of shoes. I
told him %. He then asked me If they were
&" mutton. and l said, mo, John, this ia
not a butcher shop" He laughed and went
away. He meant, I suppose, was the leather
sheepskin. Another man, moi, long, since,
came in and asked me for u black necktie. !
sent him in next door to the florists. Still
another fellow came in loaded 3" one even;
ing late and asked me for o sandwich and ]
sent him to the jewellers next door. Another
crank, who was trying on shoes ono day, said
he liked one shoe very we'll, only that 1t felt
very sarcastic in the heel.

THE BoANpAL.

The Aqueduct investigation has thus far
disappointed those who started it, for an OBJ
5ect. It has not put Gov. HILL lin a hole"
It has fully justified the Governor in the ef-
fective means he took to get rid of the old
Commission and create the present Commits
MON. It has shown that Mayor HEWITT in
his letter begging the Governor to seek to
bring about this desirable reform. was actu-
ated by regard for the public interests and
having Just confidence in the integrity Of
Gov. HILL.
But 1t has also proved that the cleaning
out Of the old methods has not yet been as
complete and satisfactory as it ought to be.
Yesterday, the testimony Of other contractor
confirmed the story that they had invested
money in q bubble company started by Chief
Engineer CHURCH, in order to make the Chief
Engineer more friendly" to them.
