A Proper Compensation.

Two Harvard youths, making q pedes-
trian tour in the Scottish Highlands,
were in the habit of stopping st small
farm houses and asking fer milk, the
charge for which was invariably a penny
a glass. Calling one Sunday at a roman
tic looking cottage in beautiful Glen
Nevis, they were sourly received by the
cotter's wife; and though the milk was
supplied. the proffered twopence was re-
fused, with a solemn admonition as to
the improperly OF such doing on such a
day. The c~ollegians were turning away
the woman made her meaning clear.

The Kings Head, by Roger Baker. Was
the Earliest of All.
The earliest record of an English hos
telry that our printed documents afford
is of the Kings Head, kept by one Roger
Baker. where committees of the Council
and Assembly of the province met for
conference, according to the Journal of
latter body, on he 29th day of August,
l701. Subsequent entries show that
these meetings We're of frequent occur
renee, and always at taverns. Although
the City Hall afforded abundant accom-
mediation, these gentlemen preferred,
after the fashion OF the day, to negotiate
over the social board. The Kings Head
appears to have stood in Queen
street, without the fortiications.'' on
a location which may be % precisely de-
scribed as the northwest corner of Pearl
and Liberty streets. The sign was the
head of William of Orange, of GLORIOUS
and immortal memory" then near the
close OF his reign. Bakers rival in the
patronage OF the gentry was one Gabriel
Thompson, who kept the White Lion, the
site of which has not been handed down.
His name. with the mention of his oc-
cupation, is found as early as 1883. Be-
sides the Kings Head and the White
Lion, the name of only one other tavern
sign between 1T00 and 1870 has been
preserved, that OF the Boot. On the
other hand, the names of keepers OF
taverns are constantly met with in offi-
cial documents. Henry Swift appears as
the host who provided the dinner given
to Lord Lovelace on his arrival to the
command of the ~province-an entertain
ment which cost the sum Of forty-six
pounds seven shillings and sixpence,
which must AVE been the equivalent Of
an enormous quantity of "bread and
SACK at the prices of the time. OF the
other ancient hosts the names only have
come down of Bernard Hardenbrook,
Elizabeth Jourdain. who entertained the
Council and lodged her Majesty's sol
diers," and the widow Post, of the family
of butchers and tavern-keepers which APP
pears for a century in our annals

3 So confident are the manufacturers of
that world-famed remedy, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, that it will do
all that they represent, in the cure of
liver, blood and lung diseases, that, after
witnessing Its thousands of cures for
many years past, they now feel warranted
in selling it Gas they are doing, through
druggists under a positive guarantee of
its giving satisfaction in every case, or
money paid for it will be refunded. No
medicine of ordinary merit could be sold
under such severe conditions with profit
to its proprietors and no other medicine for
the diseases for which it is recommended
was even before sold under a guarantee
of a cure or no pay. In all blood taints and
impurities, or whatever name or nature,
it is most positive in its curative effects.
Pimples, blothes, eruptions, and all skin
and scalf diseases are radically cured by
this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
disease may effect the glands, causing
swellinGssor tumors; the bones, causing

By mi of these accidents which
will happen even in the best regu-
lated families, a report of the pro-
ceedings Of the Assembly Investigat-
ing Committee found its way into our
columns yesterday, which, we believe,
gives a wholly wrong view of the stu
alton. 1t was telegraphed to us by a
local Atlantic City newspaper man,
concerning whose republican preju-
dices we had no previous knowledge.
Reaching our Office near the hour of
going to press it was hastily edited by
an Inexperienced copy reader, and
thus gained publicity. We regret the
occurrence, because we believe the
despatch wholly misrepresented the
situation.

They are so engrossed with themselves
and in their life work that they for
get the needs of a woman's spiritual
existence.
To most women life is made up of
trifies. Their nature is occupied with
trifies, and they do not bring to a con
sideration OF the problems of life the
same kind of intellect and the same
broad views that a man brings to
them. You cannot judge the ways of
a woman by the same gauge by which
you judge the ways of q man. A
woman is a creature swayed by her
instincts. her affections and her emo
lions. A mar is guided more by his
reason.
/ would not think of denying that a
woman's instinct is as unerring, and
in some cases more unerring, than a
mans Judgment. Because a wife's
troubles are made up of these t%rifies,
and that much of her existence de-
ponds upon them is a reason why hus-
bands should be particular in the
small affairs of daily existence. De

The paper was handed him, and he
vas about to depart when the prop
rietor remarked
by the way, Mr.. L--, I have a
little bill against your

a mistake.n

LET me see it,"
The bill was handed to him.
For peanuts, 50. 15,n it read.
How is thisf'' clustered the gentle
man.
We'll, sir. every morning for the
last four years you have taken two
peanuts when you left the store.
That would be twelve peanuts a
week, not counting in Sunday, when
your paper is delivered at your house,
6S4 peanuts in q year and 2,496 pea
nuts in four years. / have figured
there are fifty-seven peanuts in a pint.
Fifty-seven into 2,496 goes about
forty-three times. Multiplying by
five cents, the price of peanuts per
pint, | make the total $2.15. Are my
figures correctYn
The gentleman was so dazed that he
paid the bill without a word.

The change resulting from the
transfer of the Payonia Avenue horse
ear line from the Erie Railway Com
pany to the North Hudson Company
is q matter of mor consequence than
might at first be thought. The new
proprietor takes hold of the road to
make something of it. 1t will
abolish the obnoxious jigger, will
run frequent cars, and will
erect an elevator which will material
" reduce time to the top Of the Hill.
This change will doubtless lead to
new building enterprise and new
aeces OF population ia the district
north Of the. Court House. Rapid
transit is the great desideratum
around New York, and, wherever it is
provided, people and money will fol
low it.

Well, he arose Sunday morning, ate
his breakfast, smoked his morning
cigar while he perused his Herald,

pump.
II wish to - that pump would

Then he arranged his hot water,
hot irons and other parapher-
MALTA for thawing, and started out.
To his surprise he found the pump all
right again. The soft weather had
thawed it out. Putting aside his hot
irons and water he said:-'I will
never again doubt the efficacy of
prayer" and he went into the house
and resumed his paper. That night
he surprised the people of the suburb
by appearing in church for the first

Begin to Sow Your Seed.
Apropos of flowers, the woman who
really delights in them will, at the APP
proach OF warm weather, begin to lay
her plans. No matter how small the
space which she can devote to the Gull
tivation of her favorites, she is sure to
have plenty of sweet elysium and
mignonette. They grow easily from
seed, are free boomers and the
amount of fragrance emanating from
their tiny blossoms more than repays
for the care and time necessary to
keep out the weeds at the start.
Geraniums are always desirable and
add their gorgeous splendor to the
garden without stint. A delicate vine
called wood fringe" is a lovely addi-
ton, and where fences or walls are
unsightly converts them into things
of beauty and joys for the entire SUM
mer. The vine is grown from seed,
does not run the first year but covers
the ground with a fine lacework of
green, resembling somewhat the maid
en-hair fern. The second year it
seeds itself and covers everything it
car reach with its tiny tendrils and
delicately-tinted belI-shaped blossoms.

AS d matter of fact. the Assembly
committee seems to have s'strucx it
rich' at the very outset. The clearest
proof of deliberate violation of the
law has already been laid before it, as
the despatch printed in another col
umn shows. We do not think much
of the patent machine-made-purity
ballot boxes which a Republican Leg
islature has forced upon the
State; but when they are will
fully and deliberately set aside
it is pretty evident thas the intent Of
the act is dishonest. The pretence
that imperfect boxes were delivered
some years ago is of the fimsiest.
Why were not better ones secured in
the years that have elapsed. Simply
because it was easier for Gardner s.
Go. to count as they pleased and still
keep on the surface a clean record.
There is evidently a rich mine to be
worked here, and we trust the COM
mittee will work it for all it is worth.

PooRMAsTER HEwITT's revelation
regarding the morals of Jersey City is
somewhat startling-or would be il
we believed that residents of this city
were chiefly TO blame. He tells us
that seventeen newborn babes were
deserted by heartless or distracted
mothers in III streets since
January j, but it seems more than
probable that many of these were
brought here from New York and
Newark with the deliberate purpose
OF abandonment. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that a woman who had made
up her mind TO this desperate course
would naturally go as far as possible
from her home to carry it out.

The conference report on the railroad

main proposition is contained in the first
section. forfeiring to the United States all
the lands heretofore granted any state or
corporation to aid the construction of a
railroad opposite to and co-ierminous with
the portion of any such railroad not now
completed and in operation. for the con-
struc,ion or benefit of which lands were
granted. and all such lands are declared

ing scheme. gotten up for the benert of all
the land-grant roads. While the first Sec
tion professed to effect forfeiture, all the
other sections related TO separate railroads
and exempted them from the operation Of
the forfeiture section or else secured them

contest was between this bill and the anti
