A story is some where related of
tYrant who ordered one Of hls subjects

tYrant commanded that he 70 again

Again hewent and again returned and

ton of the habit of drink anu the
power of lntemperance. Every day

ing is not only habit that binds u
man sooner or later with letters that
he cannot break, but 1t is an expensive
| habit. How few there are who realize
what il costs them each year for
liquor. 1t might be we'll for you, my
reader, to take pencil and paper and
dot down the actual cost of your
drinks for yourself and friends per
day. You will be apt to find that at
least $500 a year clips through your
fingers that would do your wife and
children more good than it docs you.

NEW CITY HALL.

To Be the Largest and Handsomest
building in the City.
City Hall Commissioner Pearson has
very little to say concerning the City Hall
bill, which seems to be hanging fire some
where. Commissioner Pearson feels con-
fldent. however, that the Legislature will
appropriate q sufficient sum of money to
permit the erection of q building that
will be a credit TO the city.
The Commissioner refused to let me see
q copy of the bill which has been read, it
is said, by Governor Albeit and several
members of the Assembly from this
county. hut intimated that the sum asked
for is $780, coo.
I'VE need that sum of money" said
COMMISSIONS DATE. 1--WE know what
Kind of a building we want. and we also
know that to put up a building having
room for the various Boards and civil
eourts a large sum of money will be re-
Quired. we have looked over several sets
of plans which have been submitted to
us, and have about decided upon just the
kind of a building required. 1t will be
larger than most people imagine and
much handsomer. It will, in my opinion,
be a finer building than the Hudson
County National Bank building as we
can make a few Improvements on that
structure"
Commissioner Burke rarely has any
thing to say concerning the new City
Hall, but he is now becoming anxious.
He wants the bill passed so that work can
be begun by the middle of March at the
very latest.

Jersey City sporting men say that John

who is to attempt to stand up before Jim

years ago., when the latter was at his best.
They say that he is a remarkably
strong man, and that if Corbett
succeeds in stopping him in
three rounds he will accomplish q mir
acle. Mccarthy is very confident that
the young Californian cannot stop him.
and he has a hacker who will wager $500
that Corbett fails in his self-imposed task.
The bout is to take place in the fourth

Admirable Picture.

Artist Henry Harrison Has Made an
Admirable Picture.
AT the studio of Mr.. Henry Harrison
in the Hudson County National Bank
Building, a notable exhibition is drawing
to a close. A full length portrait of
Roscoe Conkling is on view, prior to It's
remova to Oneida county, N. Y, for
which 1t is intended. The portrait Is the
result Of several years. study aud a COM
bination of pictures in connection with
the artists personal acquaintance with,
and observation of Mr.. Conkling's char
acteristics and pose, aud the personal rs
siStance of the Senator's family. Foryears
the artist has made Utica his summer
residence, and seeing several attempts by
others TO reproduce the Senator's
features, end encouraged by the desire OF
the Association OF Lawyers OF Oneida
county TO possess a portrait OF Mr.. Conk-
ling, at the Court House, he decided to
try his skill. with such success that Mrs.
Conkling recommended the sketch to j..
Q A. Ward AS a model for his colossal
statue.
The portrait represents Mr.. Conkling
standing with his left hand resting upon
a pedestal. while in his right he holds Il
paper with notes. He is evidently in the
act of addressing the court, wearing that
stern. studious expression and dlgnined
yet graceful attitude characteristic only
of Mr.. Conkling. Beside him is a table
covered with a sea green plush drapery.
GU which are scattered the usual law
books I'M papers. With the likeness
no vestige of fault has been found by the
many friends and acQuaintances who
have viewed the picture; the general tone
and color are harmonious, and the tech
nique, considering all the circumstances
under which the painting was produced,
leaves nothing to be wished for. l'le
