 So, by the kindness of his friends, Charlie found himself free of all lia- bilities; but, except for what they might give him, he was without 8 shilling in the world.
 As for Miss Julia Hunter-Stave- ley's prediction concerning her was soon verified. The man with whom she consoled herself was a wealthy American, and she married him in less than fou. months from the day on which she returned Charlie Powelrs letters.
 That young gentleman was present at the wedding ceremony, as one of the public, and he witnessed it through out with scornful smile. No sooner was it over than he went straight from the church to Waterloo Station and took the first train for Richmond. Arrived there he made his way to the river, and, hiring @ dingey, sculled himself leisurely up stream.

House Bin, 3os.

The record of Legislative proceedings
shows that this bill failed to pass. We
regret this action of that body very
much as it was a measure of more than
ordinary consequence. We had hoped
to see the principle involved incorporate
ed into the constitution of the United
States, as it really has national sig
nifcance. The prosperity IF the en-
tire country depends upon putting in
force the measures this bill contem-
plates. The purport of the bill is that
persons shall be required to take care
of their families. A careful reading of
the bill indicates that male persons are
intended, and of course its operation
must be limited to such male persons as
have families. A male person not hav-
ing any family ought not to be required
to support one. In fact under such a
law carefully enforced as this bin pro-
vided, he could not support one, as
there would be no families lying about
loose for him to get hold of. A male
person destitute OF family might be
required to manufacture one and so be
brought within the scope Of this bill.
But whatever the tendencies of legisla-
ton may be the government has not

The New Hampshire Puzzle.


Things are mixed in political New
Hampshire, and the ingredients are a
bout equal. The puzzle is, how 10 so
manipulate the ingredients as to make
the smallest quantity appear 10 be the
largest. The facts are, neither party
elected governor, both parties claim
the legislature. but upon wide differ
ences of opinion. There are 33j rep
resentatives elected concerning whose
right to seat there is no dispute. OF
these, 173 are democrats, 1862 republi-
cans. But there are two other classes
of candidates looking for seats. There
is class numbering 40-l3 democrats
and ~ republicans-elected upon ''if
entitled" tickets viz +: elected in antic-
ipation that the census will show gains
in population in the towns and wards
from which they are chosen, sufficient
to entitle them to these additional MEM
bers. The republicans claim that these
ought to be enrolled, and the enrolling
clerk is republican, but he now lives
in Maine. Will he enroll themY The
republicans insist that he should. The
democrats say, no, and claim prece-
dent for their position in the action OF
the clerk in 1880 when a somewhat
similar state of affairs arose. Should
they be admitted the Legislature viii
stand lS9 republicans and lS6 demo-
Gratis. Another class of claimants ap-
pears from what are known as "class-
ed towns" These are small towns not
entitled to representatives Of their own.
The method of providing for the repre-
sentation of these towns in use since
1883 was abolished by constitutional
amendment which took effect last year.
But the last Legislature failed TO provide
a way by which these towns could be
represented, hence they went on and
acted under the old method, claiming
that they could not be deprived of their
representation and that method in
use is valid until new one has been
substituted. These "classed towns"
have chosen % democrats and II re-
publicans. They viii probably be adj
mitted without opposition from either
side. This will make the legislature
TO stand, 1873 democrats, lS9 republic
ans. A narrow margin, but sufficient.
To remove the difficulty in regard to
the ''if entitled class, il is said that
the republicans propose to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature and accept
the new census officially and thus es-
tablish the right of these members to
seats. There will be protest, but it
will only make politics more exciting.

The Postmaster General tells this
story concerning himself:
When Bethany Sunday School
was being built few years ago, the
trustees found that they needed
more money than they had at first
supposed. The building was going
up In good shape. but at one Of theit
meetings they discovered they had
made TO provision for the ventila-
ton for the main room. All the
people who had given were discuss
ed, and il was decided that they
could not he called upon again.
There was only one man, n wealthy

and no one had the courage to
attack him, as he was not only
misery but violent. At last Mr..

dealer.
Mr.. Wanamaker WAS daunted, bat

''If you DO not wish TO give
money" he began, with a wicked
intent Of accusing the old gentle
mans ire again, '.yOu might send

sold or might be used some way in
the building"
The marble deller was furious.
He saw that his visitor was making

he happened 10 see the iron basin

MONEY AND WATER.

IT Is presumable that thequestion
Of the sale Of the water and water.
works system by the City Council to
a private corporation is virtually set
tied. Two potent arguments on the
no sale side OF the proposition were
offered at last Tuesdays session Of
the Council. One was the monster
petition, which was in two sections,
the number Of signatures attached
aggregating seven thousand.
That was an argument that ought
TO carry weight; but there is another
that is particularly striking. II was
embodied in a communication from
Christopher Diehl. assessor and col
lector OF water rates. Besides en-
bodying some valuable practical
suggestions that should be adopted,
it contained the following:
ION the lst of January last there
were 2,s4T houses or business places
supplied with water. Since then there
have been added in February and
March, l2G; in April, -. and in May
n, making a total of LBS at this date.
The extensions OF water mains will
add more every month, and It can pe
estimated that before the end OF the
present year at least four thousand
houses will be supplied with pure
water.
With the present rates and strict
assessment as per the schedule. the
city can derive an income Of at least
fifty thousand dollars per annum from
its water system. That amount would
be an interest at 5 per cent. on 8, Co.,
zoe while the whole plant cost only
s5OO,OOO."
The question now pending be-
fore the council purports to be
whether the water and its system
shall be sold to a private party or
corporation. Why not name the
proposal 50 rs 10 make ii consistent
with the statement made by the
assessor and collector Of rates. IL this
be dOne-we see no resson why il
should motif will be stated thus:
Shall or shall net the Cornell pay to
a private company or corporation
$50, 900 per annum Of the peoples
money, that heing the amount Of
profit that would be derived from
the system Of waterworks accounting
to the computation Of Mr.. Delhi?
The cOnsummation Of such an act
could not by any process of reason
ing be properly sustained. Il would
have all the appearance Of steal.
This phase Of the subject, so ap-
proPriately exhibited by a city
official, ought Of itself to cause all
applications of the kind referred to
to be permanently tabled. Any
company that could secure such a
bonanza would at an early date be
able to greatly increase Mr.,Diehl's
computation Of profits by watering
It's stock.
