HOur Little Dot.

A writer in the New York Sam dc
scribes a scene which he witnessed, Ia e
one evening, IN the streets OF st. LOUIS.
A group of ganlins were hanging about
an old, gray hai4 q woman, shabJily
dressed, who carried large plakage
under her arm The writer Of the shett n
followed, thinking to say something at
the right moment.
The boys We're jeer:ng, and the woman
was begging to be let alone. BY and by
she sat down on d doorstep. Then the
Young Arabs gathered thicAly around
her.
Give us a song, old wonan!"
"If you'll dance us jig, we'll let you
off"
open the bundle and let's see what
you've got!"
When there was a moment Of silence
she replied:
Boys, come closer round me. I've got
something here to show you.
They crowded up her, and she re-
moved the news, pers, which concealed
the OBJ iect she was carrying, and held Il
up before them.
If a bombsheilh h d dropped among them
it would not ha, scattered them mora
quickly. What do you suppose it was !:
a piece of board about three feet long by
foot wide, painted white, and on 1t IL,
black letters the epitaph-
OUR LITTLE DOT.
DIED OCTOBER II, 1885.
It was the headstone of a child's
grave-such headstone as only the poor
and lowly erect over the grave of loved
one. Out of pity for her poverty ard
sorrow the paintcr may have done the
work for nothing.
The boys could read, and as each read
for himself he turned and vanished In
the darkness. Tie last one to go took off
his ragged cap and said:

RELIGION AND uEREpIrY.

article manifesting industrious and pro-
found research, with access to many and
high authorities, propounds the singular
theory that racial distinctions exert and

sxerted similar influence on denomina-

WAGES OF CRY LABoKEKs.

It is announced that on Monday the
city viii receive 100000, proceeds of the
sale Of the water bonds. Before that
warrants, the city council should rectify
an omission which has imposed great
hardships upon the laborers employed by
the city.
The charter provides that all employees
of the city shall be paid out Of the salary
fund. but when necessary the city council
may appropriate money from other funds
for the purpose of paying wages in cash.
The ordinary provision is wise
one; but the discretionary power be-
slowed is to meet cases of exceptional
expenditure. The employment Of labor
on construction is one of these cases The
money for payment is included in the es-
innate of the cost Of the work to meet
which the bonds were issued. Neverthe-
less, through the omission Of the council
to direct q transfer, the laborers are being
paid in scrip drawn upon the salary fund.
That fund is considerably overdrawn,
and the scrip is consequently deprecated
Al soa0C wsAiAS " AtS< "uiIdAtc olc oiAuOst
at par. Salary scrip is discounted at as
low as 90, the loss falling upon the poorest
paid laborers.
Now that considerable sum of money
10 coming into the treasury, it is only just
that the day workers should get some of
it. Fully $4,000 has thus been paid out,
and that sum should be transferred to the
salary fund.
Another duty Of the Council is to author
ize the sale of scrip in bulk to the highest
bidder. and pay the men in cash. It is
well known in financial circles that scrip
placed in bulk could be sold at q much
higher price than when peddled around by
men who have no time to seek the best
market.

rHE PRICE OF THE BONDS.

The Tacoma newspapers announce that
the city has placed s55o, 900 bonds in Min
neapolis at par, and seem to be greatly de-
lighted at receiving that price. The con-
tract made by Seattle with y. W. Harris &
Co. places those Of this city at the equiva-
lent of l03, a very considerable advantage
to Seattle. If that firm, in the exercise of
its option, decides that a better market can
be found for lives than skies, the equiva-
lent price TO be paid will be taken from the
standard of bond values published in book
form and in use by every banker in the
United States.
The result Of the Tacoma bond sale JUS
titles the advice given by the Seattle Clear
ing House Association to the City Council
that loS is a good price for our bonds. If
Seattle were to issue the same amount as
Tacoma, she would receive $l6.500 more
than the neighboring city.
One reason Why the firm of Harris & Co.
might prefer the fves, is that Seattle
already has five per cent. bond on the
market, and some buyers might hold of
from purchasing the fives awaiting the
skies. Another reason is that there is
another class of investors which would
rather forego one per cent. interest for the
sake of obtaining the discount on ives.
There is no chicanery in the matter; any
man who understands arithmetic can cal
culate that in the end the cost TO Seattle is
precisely the same, whichever class of bond
is issued. 1t is a matter of judgment in
taking advantage of the condition of the
market as between the brokers and the
hryerS
