There is much feeling throughout the
town owing to the recent accidents caus-
ed by indiscreet wheelmen, whereby sew
eral persons have been knocked down
and others pushed off the sidewalk, but
as yet the local whee linen have not been
complained of. No one objects to eye
lists, IL they dress properly aud behave
with decornm. Severe criticism was in
dulged in, Sunday, because wheelmen APP
peared In front of the church just as SER
vice was over. One of them was decid-
ly undressed, as he had on skin tight gar
ments, which were sleeveless. Such a
costume might do for racing, but it is not
proper for exhibition purposes and would
undoubtedly cause stampede among
bathers on the seashore. Ii out of town
wheelmen desire to ride in such cos
tunes, let them remain where they be-
long, where they probably are not allow
ed to exhibit themselves. 1t is hoped
that this will be a sufficient warning, be-
cause, if it is repeated, it will simply in
tensify the feeling already aroused.

early in June, he had a monopoly of the

P. Il. Barnum, who was the first to give
his consent, was present with Mrs Bar
mum and seemed pleased, not only with
the music, which was finely rendered,
but with the immense audience. Had
the city authorities interfered, they
would have required the aid of the whole
State militia to have secured them all.
Now that it has been given trial, which
was necessary to bridg its effects proper

termined whether Sunday concerts will
be detriment to the welfare of the city
or blessing to the thousands of poor
hard working clerks and mechanics, who

well for few of the owners of factories
in the city who so strongly oppose Sun

SOME ODD BLUNDERS.

The mistakes made by compositors
through setting up" whatever the
''copy" may look like to him, utterly re-
gardless as to whether it makes sense or
not, form one of the chief obstacles with
which authors have to contend; partic-
ularly when, as is frequently the case,
the handwriting of the latter is not too
plain.
Illegibility was, we hope, for the credit
of the printer, the cause of 'Gambetta''
being rendered 81 am better" and,
which made the newspaper heading in
tended for 'Bridge carried away by a
drove of logs" read "Bridge carried
away by drove of hogs"
Another blunder of this sort, which
made an advertisement read, "The
Christians dream: no Cross no Crown"
appears as ''The Christians dream: no
Cows no Cream"
A reporter of provincial paper once
mentioned an intelligent craftsman as a
thinking tailor" but the printer made
him figure as "thieving tailor"
The proof reader, was, of course, re-
SponSlDle Tor the error, put the ven
geance of the irate tailor was visited on
the unfortunate reporter.
Another writer described an exquisite
as one s'whose manners would adorn a
drawing room," but the unthinkiog
compositor made it read, "whose man.
ners would alarm drowning man."
One of the worst instances of mis-
prints caused by bad handwriting was
where the heading "a Honey Moon Cut
Short" was printed in large type as
"a Hungarian Cut Throat

SECRETARY TRACY'S REPORT.
The report of the Secretary of the
Navy for the year 1890 to the President
shows a remarkable advance in the
affairs of the department. Since March
4, 1889, there have been nine new
vessels completed and put in commission
as follows:
"In 1889, the Chicago, on April II;
Yorktown, April %; Petrel, December,
10, and the Charleston on December 26
In 1890, the Baltimore, on January z;
Cushing, April %; Vesusius, June z;
Philadelphia, July %, and the San
Francisco on November Is" The Sec
retary further says in his reports
During the coming winter four more
will be added to the list, namely, the
Newark, Concord, Bennington and the
Miantonomoh."
Prior to the above date four vessels
were authorized and were at that time
fairly advanced, namely, the Puritan,
Amphitrite, Monadnock, and Terror.
The Maine had also been begun and
has since been launched.
The designs of seven more were nearly
completed, but their actual construction
had not been undertaken, namely, the
Texas, Monterey, Cincinnati, Raleigh,
and cruisers Nos. 9, 10 and IL. Six
more contemplated had not been de-
signed.
A remarkable record is thus made
during this Administration.

The LAST EVE OF SUMNER.

Summers last sun, nigh unto setting, shines
Through yon columnar pines,
And, on the deepening shadows Of the lawn,
Its golden lines are drawn.
Dreaming of long-gone summer days like this,
Feeling the winds soft kiss,
Grateful and glad that failing ear and sight
Have still their old delight.
/ sit alone and watch the warm, sweet day
Lapse tenderly away;
And, wistful, with feeling of forecast,
| ask, " Is this the laSt?''
"Will nevermore for me the seasons run
Their round, and will the sun
of ardent summers yet to come forget
For me to rise and Set?'
Thou shouldst be here, or l should be with thee
Wherever thou mayeSt be,
Lips mute, hands claSped, in silence of speech
Each answering unto each.
At this still hour which hints of mystery far
Beyond the evening star,
No words outwOrn suffice from lip or scroll:
The soul would fain with soul.
Wait, while these few, swift-passing days fulfill
The wise, disposing VIII,
And, i'll the evening as at morning, trust
The All-Merciful and just.
The solemn joy that soul-eommunion feels
Immortal life reveals;
And human love, its prophecy and sign,
Interprets love divine.
Come then, in thought, if that alone may be,
friendi and bring with thee
Thy calm assurance of tranScendent Spheres,
And the Eternal Years.
John GreenleiT Whittier
