M1srooK THE CONVEYANCE.

Registrar c. II. Merriam was made
sorry the other day that he was not
running a garage instead of Keeping
custody of deeds and mortgages, etc.
For if there is one thing that Mr.. Mer-
riam hates it is to disoblige anyone.
He would have registered those maps
of condemned fertilization sites for the
United States Government, though they
had been craven on boiler plate and re-
CURED drilling at the foundry to fasten
them in his registers, but that the Ter
ritory employing him has law forbid
ding his registering of maps.
Mr.. Merriam 8 occasion of grief arose
while steamer from the Colonies was
in port. A winsome and seemingly
wealthy dame, on sightseeing quest,
happened along at the front entrance
to the Judiciary building. Seeing the
sign Registry of Conveyance" at the
end of the veranda she tripped into the
front space of the Office devoted tc
searchers of records. She asked fol
the manager and, Mr.. Merriam coming
forward, inquired of him in the quain
" Australian accent:
"What is your charge for an automo
bile with chauffeur to take me to thu

Mr. Merriam was able to control hi
emotions sufficiently to explain that
was an entirely different kind of econ

he handled.

HOW ELECTRICITY CAME.

An account of the installation of a
new Government electric lighting plant
for street illumination published in the
Advertiser the other day has recalled
to an acquaintance of long residence
the report of debate in the Legisla-
ture of twenty years ago. 1t was on a
proposed appropriation for an electric
light plant for the palace, to which
reference was made in the description
of the plant just installed.
A "grave and reverend seignior' of
the House of Mobiles, who is still hale
and hearty, mildly opposed the item.
