hour they all met in the parlor. The

whisper in his ear: we amt ready

in q dead silence. Presently he arose
again, and the same thing took place.
A third time he arose, and the same

Yesterday some people coming in on
one OF the ferries saw large family
lowed along by dapper, plnk-faced
little man. The family consisted of one
very large wife, two very neat nurses,
hve babies, assorted sizes, and seventeen
bags and bundles. The little man led
the way out of the ferry house, called a
carriage, and packed everything, even to
the last bag, neatly in. Then he said to
tho driver: ITO the Windsor" And
then, with hand on the door, he said af-
fably to his wife: "Now, my dear, you're
all comfortable, and I'll go uptown on
the elevated and meet you at the Wind
sor, and gave the carriage door O bang
as he backed off. But the large wife
was more than match for him. She
pulled the window down like flash and
called out to the driver, "Dont you
novel" and then to her recreant spouse,
who was steering off with smiles, she
thus addressed herself aHere, sir, you
don't do that! This circus belongs TO
you, and you travel with it You come
back In this carriage!"
And he suddenly grew grave and meek,
and crawled into q small corner of tho
carriage, looking not half so happy as a
man should who owned such circus and
had the privilege of travelling with it

For twenty-five years the harbor of
Greytown has been closed. An ugly bar
stretched across its mouth high above
the water, so that you could drive over
nearly its whole length. Our first prob

The plan adopted was the construction
of breakwater at right angles TO the

piled up across the line of road, making
a sort of cribwork or corduroy road. On
this cribwork longitudinal logs were
laid. On these were the cross ties OF

States, carrying the rails. As fast as
the road was built construction train
was run, bringing sand from the sea-
shore, which was dumped on the crib

into q high, broad solid and ballasted

run at the rate of twenty miles or more

To the Editor Of the Tribune:
have been informed that a person has
been industriously circulating 10 places
where in his opinion, it would do / im the
most good, the story that l have been an
attendant at the meetings held in Music Hall,
to promote the interests OF a third party
candidate.
l want to say to the person above re-
ferred to and to all others interested, that
have not attended any meeting of citizens
in Music Hall, or any committee meeting
of citizens or Others interested in rendering
to Senator Sherman a nomination for
mayor, on q citizens or any other ticket.
The facts are that have not met Senator
Sherman In several months, but to all per-
sons who have spoken to me in re-
lstion to q candidate for the
Democratic party for mayor, since
the election last April, know that
have invariably and srdently advocated the
nomination of Senator Sherman as the
strongest possible candidate for the Demo
cratic party in this city to put forward and
rout the Republicans from their stronghold
in the city hall and thereby unite aud heal
up the differences that have existed and
caused the defeat of the Democratic party
during the part year.
Some person, knowing that l was favor.
ably disposed toward Senator Sherman,
must have used my name at some of those
meetings. No person regrets more than I

which have brought it about.

New YORK, Oct. IA Waskiugto'

ter General Wanamaker is collecting tho
data for his annual report to congress, the
features Of which will be similar to those
OF last year. During the past year he has
been making experiments in one or two
branches of the service aud he Is likely to
make a special point for their develop
ment His postal telegraph scheme is not
dead, all reports To the contrary notwith-
standing. Mr.. Wanamaker purposes ask
Ing a Democratic house to look into 1t and
Investigate the arguments and figures he
Is now preparing in its support. Much
the same arguments will be used with the
present congress as those which proved in
effectual with the last.
The same may be said OF the postal saw
ings bank. Mr.. Wanamaker is thoroughly
convinced that one of the most beneficial
additions to the present postal service
would be the establishment Of savings
banks at postoffices. His experience and
the reports from the country generally
during the last year convince him more
thoroughly than ever OF It's pra cticabiity.
The demand for such institutions in farm
ing districts and small villages, where
there are no regular banks, has been grow

there be no more than one bank for every
ten miles of area, and that the interest
paid on deposits he Jl Of per cent.

With regard to penny postage the post
master general is not so enthusiastic as he
was. While in his recommendations he

stress on this radical change. The two
principal points that will be dwelt on in
