chs: man of the Finance Committee, who had
beeE absent at the previous meeting, stated
that he. with others, bad, on Friday night
last, % ked reasonable time to read over
and consider the terms of the contract be-
fore signing it. Since that time reasons
that should be perfectly satisfactory to the
members of the committee, had prevented
him from giving the matter any attention
whatever, and he was not prepared to sign
the contract at that time. He said he had
been discourteously treated 10 the matter
and would not be forced into signing the
contract till he was perfectly satisfied that
the city's interest had been protected, as
we'll as that of the light company. He then
left the room and was shortly afterwards
followed by two others of the finance COM
mittee.
The four members Of the Light Committee
then voted to authorze Mr.. Fisher, of the
Finance Committee, to sign the contract for
that committee. City Attorney Brent, who
was present. stated that as the taUo commit.
tees had been directed by Council to make
the contract, such action could not be taken
unless a majority of the two committees
we're present and such msjorities were not
then present. Mayor Downham, who came
IN later, said he had not had time to read
the contract carefully, but would sign 1t
with the proviso that If he thought any
changes should be made 10 it's provisions he
should have the privilege of withdrawing
bis name With such understanding the
Mayor signed the contract.

Rean,s Island an uninbabited niece ot

Beams Island, an uninhabited piece of
land lying in Frenchman's Bay, off the
coast of Maine, would be paradise for
cats. 1t is infested with rats, and how
they reached there no one can tell. 1t is
the general supposition that some years
ago a coasting schooner must have been
wrecked in the bay, and that it had rats
among other valuable portions of its cargo.
The rodents are there by thousands, and
fairly swarm over the island. Any one
who is not fond of them does well in
giving the place wide berth, for they
know no fear and make it interesting for
visitors. Much of the island is low and
fiat, and is so perforated with their holes
that it resembles vast sieve. How they
live is a mystery. No one knows of any
fresh water upon the island, so the rats
must have been the sole discoveries of some
hidden spring.

o, wild eapricious, moaning sea,
Uncontrolled longings you bring to me,
AS gaze upon your dashing foam,
And hear yon turbulent breakers moan.
The waves they beat and dash and roar
As they break and play on the sandy shore;
They seem to whisper to me as they play,
20, come to my arms-forever to stay.
upon my breast you shall ever lie,
My kisses shall drown your faintest sigh
My lips shall caress your hair and eyes,
AS we float along under sunny skies.
1.-The life live is grand and free,
O, love me-pity me- come and see,-
Your golden heads shall wear crown
OF the fairest shells that can be found.
I'm my arms you shall drift along
From dusky night to sunny morn;
We will soar afar as the white-winged dove
And our only law shall be love, love, love-"
Ny heart is wildly beating
While for me the waves are reaching
But turn and walk away.
Round me spreads the twilight gray.
And ! think how strange thing our lives,
AS stand and gaze upon the skies,
How grand the scene below, how grand allow
But, o, how sweet thing is lovel

THE FAIL is HERE AGAIN.

The flowers are whitening, though the woods
Are bright with autumn hues;
The girls are wearing thicker goods
And stouter boots and shoes.
The teathered songsters of the grove
To warmer lands have flown,
And nows put up the parlor stove,
For cool the nights have grown.
The baseball seasons near its close,
The tennis seasons past,
We're getting rid of mos-qui toes,
The flies are dying fast.
No more we fixing soda quaff,
Or long for lager beer;
The coal man laughs his loudest laugh
His seasons drawing near
The politician works his chin
Until our ears do ache,
And weather prophets now begin
Their prophecies to make.
Where'er our eyes around we cast
And look on things or men,
All signs denote that summers past
And fall is here again. Boston Courier.
