CITY AFFAIRs.-The City Financs Com
mittee met last night and agreed upoo such
reports as they will submit 10 Council at
its pext meeting. The comuittee also ci-
rected the Corporation Attorney, that mere
otter. whenever suit is bought against the
city, to enter motion requesting the court
to require the plaintiff to give bond for costs
81. This step was taken TO discourage the
bringing of cults agsinat the city by persons
who act on the principle that they have
something TO gain but nothing to lose by
bringing such suite. 1t is understood that
the intimation by tbs Circuit and Corpora
ton Courts that bonds would be required for
costs and damages that might result, pre-.
vented an Injunction against the city last
week in the matter of the Cameron street
improvement. That Improvement takes out

Alfred and Patrick snd makes a

trimming, but flat and severely plain

the bodice, with usually a soft, wide
sash of the dress goods about the waist
and terminating in long ends falling
on the dress skirt These ends should
be either plain, or if the half-mourning
stage is reached they may have to

"RObin Adair."

Robert Adair was young lnshman,
known in London in the early part of
the last century as "thc fashionable
IriShman." He was brought up as n
surgeon. but at ar early period went
to England to push his fortunes. Near
Holyhcad, pcrceiviug n carriage over
turned, he ran to render assistance.
The occupant was lady of fashion,
who, hearing that Adair was sur
Geon, invited him to accompany her
to London. On arriving Mt her house
she gave Adair fee of one hundred
guiness and general invitation to
call. 1t was during one of these visits
that he met Lady Caroline Keppel,
bemarle and OF Lady Anne LennoX,
daughter of the first Duke of Rich
mond. Lady Caroline, at the first
sight of the Irish surgeon, fell desper-
atelv in love with him. and her emo
tions were so violent and so sudden as
to attract the attention of the whole
company. Everything was done to
divert her mind from travels,
suitors and amusemcntS of all kinds
hut in vain. Finally the parents, see
ing their daughters health yielding to
the strain, consented to the marriage.
When Lady Caroline was taken from
London to Bath, that she might be
separated from her lover. she wrote it
is said, the song of Robin Adair," and
set it to Il plaintiye Irish tune she had
heard him sing. Her married life was
short, but happy; she died Of con
sumption after giving birth to three
children. On her dcath-bed she re-
questcd Adair to wear mourning rs
long as he lived, and he scrupulously
did so, except on the Kings and
Queens birthdays, when his duty to
his sovereign required him to appear
at court in full dress. He never mar
ried again, though he had many offers.

Her Kind of FNith.

There, for instance, is that story OF
the German old maid who had peti-
toned the authorities to remove great
hill from in front of her house, in order
that she might get an unobstructed
view of the river Rhine. The authori-
ties were disobliging and pig-headed,
and wouldn't move the hill. The old
maid pleaded, but quite in vain. But
she was pious, Bible-reading woman,
and lineal descendant of Martin
Luther into the bargain. She remem-
bered the text about the faith that can
move mountains, and she resolved to
try it ON the great, troublesome hill
that cut off her view of the beautiful
Rhine She decided upon night of
PRAYER that the mountain might be re-
moved, with implicit confidence that
her prayer would be answered. All
night long she wrestled, like Jacob of
old. What ecstasies of devotion she
passed through no one may know, and
to speculate upon them would be prof
anation. In the morning she rose,
with radiant countenance, confidently
drew the curtain of her window that
looked toward the mountain, staggered
back with apparent surprise and eX-
