the district was without good roads,
but In 1878 the forest manager per-
suaded the city fathers 70 appropriate
enough money TO construct flrst-class

on roads, and 14i miles OF these roads
were Ia good order. The manager kept
an account OF the influence OF this inn
proyement on the profits and cost Of

able TO show that the annual cost of log

and costing $500. or amounting In to-

same quantity was moved In 2.652 loads
of lit cubic feet each, and the cost, at

Armed with this important missive
the two gentlemen made their way TO
the Fifth avenue mansion.

HOME.

Deep In wooded recess on the banks
of the Dcrwcnt, in merry old England,
lies the little village OF Iietherton,
slumbering in the MONDAY sun as II did
when we saw II last twenty years ago.

have the whole scene before you.

Elsie, In her white robe and simple
wreath of flowers, looked like q snow
drop which had tumbled into gor-
gcous bed Of tulips. She had one little
shadow of disappointment. Frank, her
darling Frank, was not nawless, he, I'LL
ungifted with the natural perception
OF the beautiful, which his wife in
stinctively enjoyed, saw nothing incon-
gruous, no lack of harmony in all the
barbaric pomp around him, nay, even
revcled in its very gorgeousness.

NEW ELECTION LAW.

The recent fusion Legislature
passed law that completely up
set and overturned all the econ-
omical election management that
had teen in vogue in this State
for a mum Der of years.
Under the new law there is an
entire new registration required
this year aud there are three
registrars at every precinct that
receive 3 cents each for every
name that goes on the books,
whereas under the Old law there
was only one registrar and e
received only Que cent for every
new name thai was added 20 the
books.
In this way the cost Of regis
tration was practically nothing,
but with the new law the cost to
the county in this city alone will
amount to over $1,000 and IN
the whole county the cost OF
registration will exceed$1, 600, 90.
But this extravaganza does not
stop here. There are three poll
holders appointed at every pre-
cinct who receives 50. so each a
day, and nobody has ever heard
of a poll holder getting one cent
under a Democratic adminlstra-
tion.
Any ordinary observer can see
at glance that the election
machinery as ordered under this
new law is extravagant. 1t is ex
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
And this is the reduction in tie
expense of the Government that
is promised the people by these
anxious Office seekers. Should
the whole State be SO unfortu
nate rs to fall into the hands OF
this gang who could predict the
dire results that would follow?

His speech was characteristic
of the man. 1t redownded with

termed the organized Democracy.
But, as Virgil once said of a minor
Latin poet, he "picked pearls of
