FARMER vON DUSENBINKIE.
 wave crest was hat. Then the mans head appeared, then pair of horses ears. Then gradually the entire rig" hove into view, dripping with the mix ture of earth and water of which the road was composed.
 When the Ridge was reached, it was plain to all that the driver was Von Du- senbinkie. His teeth were chattering, for the mud and water were ice cold, but his face wore the expression that comes only to the countenances of men who have achieved. He bore the guying of the Ridge folks with fortitude till some one asked him jeeringly what he had brought with him. Then he looked for his bag of pumpkin seeds, but in vain, for they had been washed away and then formed component parts of the mud of the Black North.
 The story goes on to the effect that it was then that the movement began to gravel the roads that lead from the Ridge toward the lake. At all events, most of the main highways are now redeemed from their old time spring fathomless- ness, and if Farmer von Dusenbinkie still lives and has some pumpkin seeds to take to market this spring he will be able to do so without running the risk of being smothered in the mud.
 All joking aside, the period in every spring during which farmers in certain country districts are mudbound is a most depressing one, and one which can not but tend to be the reverse of benefi- cial. It should be done away with, and right speedily. But it does not become those who dwell in cities-at least in some cities-to rail too much about coun- try mud unless they are willing to admit that they are equally at fault. 1 know of one large city located not more than a thousand miles from New York that has miles and miles of streets that for depth and foulness of mud each spring time would put to blush the most re- mote country road. And know of an other city almost as large, situated in an inland state, where some of the streets are just as bad. Perhaps some of the readers of this newspaper can guess the ns,ns of that city. I. D. MARSHALL.

The Queen and Her Crown.

In the face of the absolutely stupen- dous number of pictures which represent Queen Victoria on any and every domes- tic occasion with her crown on, it is rath- CT curious to learn that she has not, as a matter of fact, worn it more than 20 times during her whole reign.

WELL, the expected has happened. The senate has passed the Bland bill for the coinage of the seigniorage in the treasury, without amendment, and the measure is now in the hands of President Cleveland. It was well known that when this matter was first broached the president thought it was an unwise step to take and so stated to members of congress, but he has been careful to express no opinion since the bill has been pending in congress, and now those who are usually we'll informed express the belief that the president will, in deference to the large number of demo- crats who voted for the bill in both house and senate, allow the bill to become a law without his signature, thus giving them the benefit of the doubt in his mind as to the wisdom of the bill
 OUR esteemed morning contemporary Is in n state bordering on nervous prostra- ton. because Edward B. Kelley has not rendered his resignation as road commits sioner It goes into double leads to show VI street inspector and member of the road bard in violation of a city ordinance passed in 1876. If Mir Kelley wished to continue as road commissioner he could show by the records of the road board that this ordinance has been a dead letter for years: that members of the board-and we have in mind one republican member of former years-have time and again been given patronage by the road board. But Mir Kelley has DO desire to hold both offices and will probably resign in due eime There is no cause for alarm. Some
 vening, at a regular meeting of the court of common council Mir Kelley will move in the regular way in this matter. It seems cruel to keep the Republican in suspense, though, and it would show that there was DO hard feelings if Commissioner Kelley tendered his resignatian to Brother Wells instead of to the mayor and honorable court of common council.

THE aldermen are not open to criticism fir refusing 60 allow Charles Miller to re- pair his burned building. The building ordinance was framed to prevent the per petuation of the wooden rookeries in the center of the city and the mayor and alder men but do their duty in causing the laws to be enforced. But there Is a doubt in the minds of many people whether the present. building ordinance will hold good in law. This is a point that should be rlOusly considered by the aldermen.
