the Forthcoming Elec-

Four hours were consumed by the
city aldermen last evening at the regu-
lar fortnightly meeting of the common
council. There was large attendance
of citizens, who followed the proceed
ingS with keen interest. Representa-
tiyeS of the chamber of commerce were
there, because of the discussion of the
tax levy; representatives of the city la
borer were there, because of the unset
tied -and-ten-hour-pay
question: the leaders of the Democratic
and Republican parties were there,
because of the appointment of
judges; and, last but not least, con
tingent from the Fifth ward were in at
tendance, because of the Azotine man
ufacturing plant. The deep interest in
last nights proceedings may therefore
be better understood. 1t was the longest
session held by the present council, and
the longest that has been held since the
fight over the city attorneyship. There
was so much talking done that, late as
the hour was when the adjournment
was taken-ll:3 30 o'clock-that much of

The action was brought to recover

answer that the improvement company

burSted and left out of repair and failed
to construct proper dams, so a large
amount of logs were left on the rocks.

City Laborers Will Have to Go
Without Their Wages.
The aldermen were caught mapping
ON the eight-hour day and ten-hour pay
question. Comptroller Roche's bills for
the street force had been laid before
the council and before many of the
aldermen knew what they had done the
roll had been almost called and several
opposed to ten-hour's pay had cast their
votes. Aid. Flandrau called halt
with:
Mr.. President, what are we voting on:
Laughter greeted this, and Aid Ban
holzer attempted to push forward the
roll call, when Aid. Copeland inquired
if 1t had anything to do with ten hours
pay and eight hours work.
President Cullen-Yes.
Aid. Copeland--Is the eight hour day now
in force?
President-Yes.
Aid. CopeIand-And the pay roll is for
| S1.50 per day?
President-Yes.
The clerk was requested to go over
the roll. with the result:
Yeas-Banholzer, Bielenberg, Bott Conley.
| Dobner, Dorniden, Gehan. McNamee,
| Melady, Minea Van Slyke-l1.
Nays-Copeland, Costello Flandrau, Sulli-
van-5,
AS it requires a two-thirds vote to
| carry the pay rolls, the motion to give
the street laborers ten hours pay for
their eight hours work was therefore
lost. Aid. Melady was indignant at
this. He jumped upon his feet and de-
manded that the pay roll for clerks and
every official under the city should be
brought before the council in the same
| form as that of the street force.
| President-The gentleman is out of order
Aid. Melady-That is the only way we can

Proposals for Improvements Re-

The report of the committee respect
ing the Market hall was killed. Two
propositions were made respecting the
utilization Of the Market hall. A Mr.
Mott, OF Boston, wanted lease of the
property and he would erect thereon an
auditorium and arcade of iron, glass
and marble. G. III. Lains Furnishing
company wanted to lease the building
and use it as wholesale store, after
expanding $4,000 OH Improvements.
The committee report that the Market
hall was practically useless and had
always been conducted at a loss. Aid.
Flandrau said the market house was
nuisance and burden to the city. Aid.
Van Slyke moved to reject the report
which, by vote of IL yeas to nays,
was agreed upon.

A Seal of Agate.

The department of Greek and Ro-
man antiquities at the British Museum
has recently received several acquisi-
tions OF Importance. Among them is
fine seal OF branded agate in the
form of scarab set ia gold, with
silver hoop fitting it for ring. 1T is
described as n very choice specimen
and was found in Cyprus. Its date is
about $40 b. {. 1t represents, nearly
in profile and at full length, with the
characteristic disproportions OF the
period TO which it belongs, Atheue,
clad in semi-transparent robes, both
wings, of an extremely early type, be-
ing extended behind the figure. The
goddess, who holds spear, wears a
helmet with prodigious crest. Apart
from its technical merits the extreme
historical interest of this relic will be
manifest to students OF Euripides who
remember that the turning point OF
the plot OF the Ion is concerned with
the blood Of the slam Gordon. Over
the shoulder of the goddess the head of
Medusa is seen dropping blood, clots
OF which fall from behind the figure

A correspondent OF the Western

WHERE WOMEN DoTREwooING
A Reversal Of the American order
Of Things Among the Coss acks.

Ukraine, Russia, is the real paradise

Press. And if in this country proto-
type OF the Russian province could be
founded it would be populated in less
time than one imagines. In Ukraine
think OF it, We spinsters and celibates,
all the counting is done by the
women. The man has nothing to do
with the affair. Like Mariana in the
moated grange he merely sits and
waits.
If the young lady feels stealing DER
her a fancy for particular young man
she does not pine away in "a green
and yellow melancholy" But she
buckles on the armor OF her. affections
and sales out like a conquering hero,
TO drop SMILES and come down to
matter-of-fact language, the young
woman when she falls in love with
some young man, without delay dis
closes to him the true condition Of her
feelings. Does he love her? Then
the marriage ceremony is arranged
without delay. Does he not love her?
Then the love-sick damsel plants her
self in his residence and announces
that she will stay there until a revolu-
ton shall come in his feelings. The
young man is helpless because the
friends of the young woman will
avenge any affront that the young man
shall offer to her.
But he is not compelled either by
law or custom TO endure her presence
for ever. When he becomes tired of
the attentions of the lovelorn lass he
can pick up his lares and penates and
move out. When the affair reaches
the climax it is equivalent to the
announcement that the young man pos
itively will not wed.

Girls In the Schools.

THE girl would make a better
student in our public schools and
colleges. said one of the prominent
educators of the city recently, IF she
had the same incentive, the same mo-
tive that the Young man has. The
Young man who goes to the public
schools and colleges feels that he is to be
a brcadwinncr. He has this for clear
purpose in getting an education. But
it is not so with the girl. With her
motive is everything, and not having
the motive she does not study to her
full capacity. She looks to getting
married some day, and having some
one else provide the bread for her.
"Of course, this is generally speak
ing. We hear good deal about wo-
mans power of application rs COM
pared with mans, but my experience
has been that if a girl knows what she
is after, if she has distinct purpose, in
nine cases out of ten she will display
stcadfastness of aim that is quite equal
to that of any boy.
Much has been said about the ca
pacity of the female intellect for
mathematics, but | can say that the
girl excels in pure mathematics. Girls
are exceedingly fond of history and lit
erature and invariably stand high in
those studies.
The best students are Hebrews
that is they carry of the honors. But
this is not always fair test of intel
lectual capacity. The scholarship of a
student is determined quite as much by
her home influence, by her surround
ings and associations, as by her text
books or instructors. As rule the
wealthy Hebrews avail themselves of
the advantages of the public schools
and colleges for their children, while.
generally speaking, the children OF
Christian parents in similar financial
circumstances 20 to private institu
tons. This makes it particularly diff
iicuIt to institute race comparisons in
the public schools.
The colored girl has great imita-
tive powers. She does not evince or
dinarily high degree OF intellectual
ity, but in all subjects in which tho
initiative faculty plays part in pro-
grcss she usually does e1 tecdingly well.
She is especially qHick ut drawing and
penmanship, and the ike. But when
it comes to such subjects rs require the
higher faculties of reason or judgment
she is frequently below the average.
