on Forty-hfth street, from McCulloch
street to the river. Is 1t possible that
our present board have not the courage
or ability to undertake the constitute
ton of this sewer. Can It be insinua.

die many times a day. Both dogs eat
from the same plate, but not at the

Dodgerfield first. The fox terrier was

dinner. Dodger seemed to eat moro
slowly than usual, and Nettie watched
dolefully.
Finally hunger got the better of her
honesty, and she barked sharply three
short barks. Dodger left his plate and
sprang to the window, looking excitedly
up and down the road. Nettie looked
neither to the right nor the left, but

the mobiles brought their young daugh-

the emperors fancy was forthwith cho-
sen to be his wife.
The priEcesses were kept with the
same strictness as eastern Processes,
and marriage only changed their place
Of residence, but gave them no more
freedom. They were allowed occasional

the north side of the palace reserved es-

total light of the full moon is compared
