Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole had been winter
ing in the south, having found the rig
ors of 4 northern winter too trying for
their delicate constitutions. Being
birds of n good social position they had
sojourned at one of the most fashion
able hotels at Palm Beach, where they
occupied an elegant suit of apart
ments under the caves. When it
rained, a neighboring waterspout occa-
sionally spluttered over them, making
their nest rather damp: but bathing
is one of the fashionable sports at Palm
Beach, so of course they did not mind
it.
Their town house was situated on
the limb OF al old willow tree in Brook
lyn. 1t was really a charming home,
and Mr.. Oriole had been his own archi-
tect Moreover. it was so sheltered
from view as not to attract cats or
climbing boys.
From my bedroom window l could
plainly see the nest, and every spring
would watch for the return to town
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole. Promptly on
the 1st of May they would put in an
appearance. and such twittering and
chattering as there would be for few
days. And such q lot of callers as Mrs.
Oriole did have! One Of these, 4 hand

RATHER a different position is State
Road Commissioner Budd occupying just
now in comparison with that he was in
about two years ago. Then.he was some
what censured by a member of the State
Senate for letter he had written which
the Senator thought was reflection upon
him. Now Mr.. Budd is the object of
praise and his good services in the pos
ition he occupies have been recognized to
the extent of having bill passed increas-
ing his salary from $500 to $4,000, with an
allowance for an assistant. This bill,
which has passed the Senate, and will go
through the house, originated in the upper
part of the state, hence it must be good
measure. We are glad to see that Mr..
Budd's value in the matter of good roads
has been recognized. He certainly has
devoted much time and attention to the
subject and has not been mere figure
head in his Office, but has earned every
cent he has been or will be paid. His
efforts in the direction of improved high
ways have not only been benefit to the
sections which have been favored, but the
state is held up as model by other states
which are giving the subject careful at
tention.

TROLLEY people were very much stirred
up last week over bill that had been in.
PRODUCED in the Legislature with the view
of checking the inroads those corpora
lions may make on the public highways.
Several gentlemen from this county went
before the committee and protested against
the passage of the bill. We do not know
the text of the proposed law, hence can
not speak upon its merits, but there is not
the sill htest doubt that there is no set of
people that will bear being held in check
more than the promoters of trolley
schemes, taking those who have their
main argument in favor of killing the
bill referred to seems to be that it is in
the interest of the steam railroads, whose
business is hurt wherever trolley COM
petes with it. This is all right for one
side of the argument, but the other has
some points worthy of consideration, one
of the strongest of which is the. taking of
the public highways, using the improved
roads which have been built at great ex-
pense by the counties, and not penny of
recompense put into the treasury by the
benefciaries Does any one for a moment
suppose that the trolley people would
hesitate to sell at big price the franchi-
SEES that have been gratuitously granted
to them7 The record of at least one of
the promoters does not lead to contrary
idea. The county must keep the roads in
repair; must strengthen the bridges and
the trolleys reap the benefits. Only last
week committee met and examined a
bridge and decided that it must be repair
ed at once in order that it may be
strengthened for the trolley road which is
about to cross it. But what is the use of
opposing2 The trolley has complete con-
troll of the Board of Freeholders, and if
the state can step in and call halt, let it
do SO
