The City Job Printing.

At the couGcil meeting yester-
day afternoon, the contract for city
job printing was awarded to the
Johnson Bros Printing company,
on recommendation of Alderman
J. II. French, of the finance COM
mittee, who said: Gentlemen,
there is a matter which must be
disposed of at this meeting, and
which will stop all this newspaper
combating, and that is, the award
ing of the contract for city print
ing. In looking over the bids,
find that the bid of Johnson Bros
Printing company, is the lowest.
One of the bids specifies what kind
of type is to be used, such as A
points, 5 points and s points, and
l don't really understand it. The
bid of Johnson Bros. leaves the
matter of type to be decided by
the mayor. Taking all into consid-
Grafton, | think the bid of this
company is the lowest and best,
and the contract should be award
ed to them" Mr.. French made a
motion to that effect, which was
Immediately seconded by Alder
man Daugherty, and on a vote OF
the council, the motion was unan-
imOusly carried.

Big Tips Going Out.

The days of big tips are said to be
numbered, and in consequence sadness
reigns among the walters in the promi-
nent hotels and fashionable restaurants
of the land. A writer in the New York
Commercial Advertiser says: Where a
rich man would give tip of one dollar
he now gives, on ordinary occasions, a
quarter of a dollar. And some even
condescend to offer dime. AT first the
walters used to show by the cold stare
on their faces that they did not care
Cor such small tip, but now they take
it with a faint attempt at amiability
Where a party, however, has swell
champagne lunch after the theater the
waiter is never tipped less than fifty
cents. He is not surprised to receive
one dollar. A certain millionaire has a
habit of putting the amount of his
pour boire on the corner of the table as
soon as he sits down. The walters do
not consider it good form"

man, who carried the wreath for you to
put upon his grave"
Sally had listened to Courtland's dec
laration with prettily knitted brows,
the faintest air of color and a half
laughing, half superior disapprobation.
When he had fini-hed, she uttered a
plaintive little sigh. "Yo' oughtn't to

are too good friends to let even that
stand between us. And to prove it to
yo' I'm going to forget it right away

I could should be unworthy of even
your friendship. If you must reject it,
do not make me feel the shame of
thinking you believe me capable of
wanton trifling. l know that this
avowal is abrupt to you, but it is not
to me. You have known me only for
three months. but these three months

Why must it be a forbidden topic?
What is the barrier? Are you no longer

hope. Miss Dows-Sally!"
She had drawn herself away, dis
tressed, protesting; her fair head turned
aside, until with slight twist and mar
rowing of her hand she succeeded in
slipping it from the glove which she
left a prisoner in His eager clasp.
There! Yo' can keep the glove,

''Sit down! This is not the place nor
the weather for husl1ing frolics! Well
-yo' want to know achy yo' mustn't

She smoothed down the folds of her

THE CURSE OF AUSTRALIA.

KanGaroos Killed by the Thousand, Eut
Still Plentiful In Some Places.
The kangaroo plague, says Hard
wicke's Science Gossip, has always been
a great nuisance to the Australian
squattcrs, for on an average these ami
mails consume as much grass as sheep.
1t is stated that on a sheep run of GO, 900
to $4,000 acres 10000 kangaroos were
killed annually for six consecutive
years, and yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds of
thousands of langarOos are slaughtered
annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities. The num-
bers of these marsupials in New South
Wales in 1850 was estimated to be over
1000, 900, and yet about 100000 kanga-
roOS and 100000 wallabieS were de-
stroyed in the colony in that year. A
bonus of sixteen cents for each kanga-
roo killed is offered in Australia; hence
the cOlOniSts are gradually exterminat-
ing these native animals. Over half a
million skins are annually shipped to
England and large number to North
America, to be converted into leather
The macrOpidB includes several kinds
of kangaroos and wallabics The prog
ress of settlement in Australia has
driven these animals from the more
denscly populated parts Of the Austria
Liam continent, but in the country and
unsettled districts they are still numer-
Gus enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses So
serious has been the injury thus wrought
that the colonial governments and rum
holders pay n small sum per head for
the destruction of the kangaroos.

voice and called: Mr.. Champney."
The young fellow came brislzly
towards them; his face betrayed a
slight surprise, but no discontinue, as
he recognized her companion.
'Oh, Mr.. Champney," said Miss Sally,
plaintivcly, I've lost my glove some

hollow. Won't you go and fetch it,
and come back here, to take me home?
