Report Shows Sum of $316, 1872 in
Municipal Treasury.

The city of Topeka has more money
than the officials at the city hall real
lied. According to report just COM
piled by the city treasurer and fur
nished by City Clerk Burge to the
state. there is at the present time with
the end of the fiscal year, a sum of
1851 in the treasury.
The big surprise of the report was in
what is called collections from other
sources" This includes al of the city
collections outside the fines and the
licenses. The amount in this column
was $3.50, 8S2. 10. This amount was
enough to tide the city over an even
break with disbursements
The total disbursements for all pur-
poses was $4S2, 2O4. 20. This is practi-
cally the same as last year but under
the circumstances shows an immense
saving on the part of the city officials.
The receipts for the year were $685.

Old London Cookshops.

Mediaeval London, besides being a
''city of tavernS," was famous for its
cookshops, such as the place on the
river bank described by Fitzstephen in
the thirteenth century: There every
day ye may call for any dish Of meat,
roast, fried or sOdden, fish both small
and great, venisOn and fowl If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to a citizens house and they be
lOath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings Of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
all things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place Of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
well as an outdoor trade, for Fitz-
stephen further described it as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes OF soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl of Afri-
ca and the rare gadwit Of Ionia" But
what were the two last mentioned
viands?-LOndon Chronicle.

History of the War-Ths
Parting of Comrades.

Men who saw the defeated general
when he came forth from the chamber
where be had signed the articles OF
capitulatiOn say that he paused a mo
ment as his eyes rested once more on
the Virginia hills, smote his hands to-
gether as though in some excess Of
inward agony, then mounted his gray
horse, Traveller and rode calmly away.
If that was the very Gethsemane
Of his trials, yet he must have had
then one moment of supreme, If chas-
tened, Joy. AS he rode quietly down
the lane leading from the scene Of
capitulation he passed into view Of his
men-of such as remained Of them.
The news Of the surrender had got
abroad, and they were waiting, grief
stricken and detected, upon the hill
sides when they caught sight Of their
old commander on the gray horse.
Then occurred one Of the most notable
scenes in the history Of the war. In
an instant they were about him, bare
headed, with tear wet faces, thronging
him, kissing his hand, his boots, his
saddle; weeping, cheering him amid
their tears. shouting his name to the
very skies. He said: "Men, we have
fought through the war together.
have done my best for you. My heart
Is too full to say more."-From Rob
