Asa remedy. I suggest a deficiency ap propriation to cover all'outstanding bills: this being done, a careful estimate for cur rent expenditures for every department should be made; the public should be no 1 tified that all petitions for sidewalks, new itre-ts. street lights. »er*. paving, or otln r improvements, m.t in the na'ure of ordinary repair*. or the result* of unforeseen hi er g. ncv. presented after a certain day. will be r* ferred to the next city council, fons l r well nidi petition* in making your appropria tions, but when made, say ti your otti *-rs in charge beyond this limit thou shnlt nnt In considering expenditures for the cur rent year, yon have to deal directly with tin taxpayers.

I took the plan* to Mr Welles, .Secretary of the Navy, arid also to Mr. Seward, Secretary of "late. Mr. Seward gave a note to President Lincoln, and on the following day I called on the Prevident. He *aid lie did not know much about ves sels, save flat boat*. but he agreed to meet me the next day with the Board of N aval Commissioner Well, at this meeting president Lincoln heard a great deal of adverse criticism on the part of the naval officer*, hut he said that the Idea reminded him of the expre* lion of the girl, who, when she put her foot in her stocking said: There’s some thing in it.'

HE THAT RUNS MAY READ The Interests of the Democracy De mand a change of Leadership From the New York Sun The suddenness with which the Derooc eratie psrty has iceii thrown from power msv have dazed consciousness and shaken reason. but it is tune Ui.it the mental facul ties should return. A severe blow some times sobers a drunken man If any mis apprehension still exists as to the cause which ejected Cleveland from the White House and placed Harrison in if. that mis apprehension sheul 1 be dispelled. Fortunately it is not difficult to interpret the result or to locate the responsibility. When Mr Carlisle w as nr*t ele *te.l sneaker in w e had a majority of 7.J in the p .po lar branch of Congress By an injudicious arrangement of the committees and the dom inance given to certain baneful elements.that majority was reduced at the next election to Two years later it was reduced to 15. and now- it has not only entirely disappeared, but so determined has the revolt against the free trade element become that the Kepubli-. cans have secured a majority in both houses of Congress and elected their President. To maintain that the causes which led to these disastrous result* are now obscure to any ordinary observer of political affairs is to deny him intelligence and discernment. The caus» s being so clear that they cannot be misunderstood, it becomes a duty for the mass, s of the party to remove them and ap ply the remedy as speedily as possible. The policy of the Idotnocraiy as estab lished by Jefferson. Madison an l Monroe i was that of favor to a protective tariff and hostility to an internal revenue. The latter was regarded as an inquia torial and oppres sive tax. contrary to the genius of our in stitutions. and justifiable only in time of war, when the necessities of the treasury may require it. The tirst tax of the kind was imposed to meet the expenses incurred by the revolution, and it was abolished as soon as the Democratic party acquired as cendency under Jeffersou. The second was imposed daring the war of 1812. and was repealed under Monroe as quickly as the requirement# of the government could per mit. The present tax was levfed in the be ginning of the civil war. As tbe record shows, it was opposed by nearly everv Democrat in Congress. Though for the past 15 years the revenue derived from it ha* been mo injury and a source of financial danger and embarrass ment. Mr. Carlisle and bis follower* have in sisted, daring his three term* as speaker, upon maintaining it in the face of the plat forms and traditions of the party. They have reversed the policy of tb? party from a position in favor of a protective tariff and against sn internal revenue tax. to that of hostility to a protective tariff and in favor of internal revenue. Though disastrously beaten at the last election upon the issue they had raised, they persistently held to their biunder ing tactics during the session, and refused to permit the House to repeal the tobacco tax, though it was demanded by two-thirds of Congress and three-foarth# ef the people. Under these conditions, the interests of the Democracy imperatively demand a change of leadership. As long as we persist in our blunders, we must expect our disaster* to be repeated If there is any one fact which •tanil* out clearly amid the wreck and ruin that have oeen wrought, it is that the A user lean people mean to adhere to the protective tariff, and to sweep from existence the entire j internal revenue system. The one must stay and the other must go. It is folly to deny that this purpose is fixed in the American mind, ami if the Democratic party is ever to regain power, it must return to it* old doc trines and a/!just its platform# and it# leader ship in harmony with the manifest will of the masses. Motley Description of Thackeray [John Lothrop Motley’s Letter# Thackeray has the appearance of a colos-: sal infant— smooth, white, shiny ringlety hair, flaxen, alas' wi h advancing years; a1 roundish face, with a little dab of a nose upon which it is perpetual wonder how he keeps his spectacles: a sweet but rather piping voice, with something of the childish treble about it; and a very tall, slightly stooping figure such are the characteristics of the great snob” of Kngland. His man ner is like that of everybody else in Kng land —nothing original, all planed down into imperfect uniformity w ith that of his fellow- i creature*. There was not much more dis-! Unction in his talk than in his white choker or black coat and waistcoat.

The Fait field Schools. T» E htor f Kennebec Journal: When a town starts out to economize, the first step is usually to cut down some needed appropriation. This was the result at the late annual meeting in Fairfield. The expenses for looking after the schools have for several years exceeded six hundred dol lars a year, ar. i to put a stop to this ex rava gan the wise ones have crippled the school*. The amount necessary to carry on the work has been cut down, and in addition, the committee is instructed to close the doors as soon as this sum is expended. It goes without saying that the leaders in this reform have no children to be educated. The next step in the line of disaster is the action of the S. Committee in cutting down the salaries of the teachers. The Prin cipal of the High School finds himself minus twenty per cent, and others in proportion. The town has never been extravagant, but while demanding merit in those tilling posi tions, has paid a fair living salary. To take away twenty per cent of this must cripple the schools. Mr. Tilson has filled the position of Principal five years doing good work for the scholars and the town. To lose him would be a decided misfortune, hut those who have figured the tiling fine and take no acount of the duties and labors outside the school build ing. find that, deducting JO minutes for recess daily. Mr Tilson is engaged five hours and a half or twenty-seven and one half hours a week and that for less than three days labor he gets sn days pay. They hull their hands in holy horror at the thought of paying for so much idle time. If the scholars could only he kept in session twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, a good teacher might in the estimation of some, he worth a dollar a .lav. What the future will bring no one can tell save that the scholars will be the losers and the standard of education will not ad vance. T. Kiiimn.i., March 17 A SH0PPING_EXPER1ENCE.

She turned the key in the lock and sat down by the open window to think. The evening sunshine streamed down upon the great elms id the Deanery close; the jackdaws flying about the tall towers of “The Parian" i as they ml led the cathe dral in Llankhamptom called incessantly "Jak. Jak." the voices of some children playing on the sward below rose up to ner; and a little further on there were two dogs snarling over a bone Generally Nancy Earle watched chil dren and dogs and jackdaws with de light. but on that evening she took no heed of them at all. Iier mind was fully taken up by trying to remember what she had said, and in trying to think what she should do. It was but little use trying to lessen the enormity of her idiotic blunder, in trying to minimize the meaning of her words. They seemed to stand out before her iu letters of fire—“Aiieen tells mo he is too charming, and that the name suit# him well iu spite of his being so ugly." Yes, that was what she hud said—“in spite of his being to ugly.” What a fool sue had been to say It. What a fool— and how ill bred to say such a thing of one officer of a regiment to another! Why, supposing that his name really had been Paunceforth, and Beautiful Jim quite another person, still he might have been his best friend, in which case he would have resented it far worse than he had done for himself. Oh. fool, fool, that sho had been! And what should she do now? What in tho world should she. nay, could she do? For It was not only herself whom she had Involved by her stupid and thoughtless blunder, but also her friend, Aiieen Adair. Oh' what must she do for the best? Sho did not find tho question by any means an easy one to solve, and while she was trying to do so, she perhaps not un naturally found In rscif thinking about “Beautiful Jim" himself How well he hail taken It, how pleasantly he had passed it off. and how delicately he had conveyed to her that if sho did not like to meet him afterward sho could just send him a post card to say bo was not to come to the tennis party on the following Saturday What a line fellow he was in every way, and bow fervently did she wish tliat uu unlucky fate bail never led her into mak mg those unfortunate remarks. However, dinnertime came, and still she had not solved the probh in of getting over the difficulty of meeting him again. I must,” sho said, when she found her self hack in her room for the night, “I must do something—yet what?" At last, however, she decided that it would be best to write to him—and—and say—well, to he accurate, she did not know exactly what. But she thought she would do it before she slept, or tried to sleep So she got out her writing rase and began to write—which was guiteeasy at first, for she got as far as Bhmkhamp ton Deanery, July 5.—My dear Mr. lleres ford," without any difficulty whatever But after that: he came to a standstill and did not know what to say next. What could sho say? Sho tried at t a dozen sentences, but, somehow, nono of them either looked light or graceful, and she wanted her letter to be both. At last, however, she completed a letter which sho thought would do. It ran thus: “My Dr.an Mn BnitESForn—I feci I must v n o you a line to say bow sorry I am for tho stupid mistake 1 made today. If it was not that, by my thoughtless ness. I have involved Miss Adair in my folly, 1 should just go home by the earli est train to-morrow. But I can't go away and leave her to bear the brunt of my ut ter l. 'uiish:,ess; so I can only ask you to forgive in*-, and to try to forget that I ever said what 1 did. I am so sorry I can't say more. Your very apologetic Nam y Earle.” Miss Earle read this effusion over, and thongiit it would do as well as anything she would be able to concoct; then, wo man like, she added a postscript; and. wo man like, tho postscript contained the whole salt and savor of the letter. “P S.—After ail, it is pretty good proof that I didn't see much amiss with your looks. N. E.” On reading this production over. Miss Earle thought it would do very well, and was wonderfully comforted by the con clusion. Then sho went to bed. and after lying awake for a little time thinking it all over—and particularly over his looks and general air—she fell asleep and slept as young things do, until tho morning sunshine was streaming through various chinks and crevices into the room. When she had read the letter again und satisfied herself that it would do. she went down stairs, and cautiously opeuing the door which led into the close, slipped out of th house and went quickly along the road to w here a post box was let into the wall only a few doors away, into this sue por ed Ik r letter and fled back, feel ing very guilty and soared, more as if she hail been robbing the box instead of add ing to its contents. Fortunately not a soul saw her. and she was able to put her sailor hat. which she always wore in the garden, iu its custom ary place in the hall before any of the family came down to breakfast. Meantime a postman had come along with a bag and bad cleared the box, so that it was already one stage further on its w toward its final destination. In due time it was sorted out from among its fellows and tossed on to tho heap for the infantry barracks. Ami be fore it had waited very long the post corporal made his appearance, and after turniugtbc l eap over again, tumbled it into n bag and carried it off on another stage So in time it fell into the hands of its owner— J Beresfurd, Esq Infantry Barracks. Blankhampton"—and Beautiful Jim opened it Ho read it with surprise—surprise so In tense that several of the fellows who Lad been loitering about on the lookout for the post corporal noticed It. “Halloo, old chap, that letter seems to be a sort of surprise to you, "one laughed. “Is it an offer? What a tho bid fur, Beau tiful Jim?" “Oh. get out," returned Jim. folding the letter up and replacing it m its en yelope. “Yes, get out, of course; but is it an offer?" Parsons persisted. “An offer? Jw! It's from my mother,” returned Jim promptly and in a disgusted tone. Ho made his escape to his own quar ters in reace. But then, with the door safely locked, he pulled out the letter again and read it once wn and tried tl.o cuhia first one and then t!:o other; but we couldn't stand them, couldn't ut any price, so wo left the ghastly crush of fighting men and crying mu sick women in the lull enjoy ment of them, und went upon deck again, where the cold was the worst and the air "a i pure enough not to insult our lungs. Ah! veil I remember it, that it wasn't all as smooth ns honey up on deck. Further* wero two Iri.-Ji Americans, awful fellows, on hoard. A big one and a little one. both very drui;!:. and both very quarrelsome The big one w as bragging about bis Itowie knife, and threatening to six shoot any one who presumed to interfere with him; and after a good deal of this kind of swag ger, up stepped a strapping voting Irish harvester, just drunk enough to be vali ant, and challenged him to light at one*. And a right down good drubbing he gave him— I never saw a fellow better handled in my life. Ton my word, 'twas so neat that the little Irish-American stepped out of the ring and set himself to hamper th* young harvester by the two to one pro cess However, another harvester step ped out of tho ring to settle with him, and the f lit went gayly with twu couple* Instead ot one "And at last the big Irish-American got S good deal the worst of it. and the young harvester took the opportunity of slipping out of tho ring altogether, and took up his place just behind us. where lie stood quietly peering over mv shoulder, laugh ing at the rage of his adversary, who was too drunk to know him again.” "And did l.o find him?” asked Miss Earle, with breathless interest. "Not he. be was as drunk as a lord. But by and by ho started on again at an other harvo-t r. bowie knife, six shooter, and all. and just as lie was making for him there stepped up a little American, who just caught him a scientific crack on his head, which knocked him over as senseless as a log, and that was an end of him.” d that teas an end of him.w "Bn* 'u »n't mean to say that he was killed Nancy said "No I don't suppose he was killed." re tumid Beautiful Jim. "but we heard no moro of him for that night They just drag-rod him downstairs and shoved him under a uench. and ho was no mop* trouble to anybody so far as any of us saw And by that same token”—Beau tiftil Jim went on with keen enjoyment of the recollection—"that was one of the beautiful®, t cracks I ever saw—quite scientifl for it wasn't hard nor heavy it was just neat, don't you know And then tii/re was the lit;io Irian American He. aft«*r snarling and quarreling half th« nig] t, go| kicked out 61 the cabin and came up on deck, where we. who couldn't stand tne atmosphere downstairs, wore trying in vain to get a litfle warmth and comfort by huddling together round the funnel And it was cold—oh! how cold It was. wrh a strong mui storm beating on us. and the waves washing over the bows of the boat every minute! I don't believe any of us had ever been so miser able. f-iriom. or thoroughly wretched in all our live-* before, i know l have never felt unite like that since "Well, this little chap came up to the group, peering into every face as well as ye could for the lurching of the resse} anil TLt> unsteadiness of tu* own standing, j At last, however, be stopped opposite to me. 'Come an' 'ave a drink,’ he said. “Well. I didn't dare refuse, for I w«« tHilv a Youngster, and didn't see the fore* of letting him use Lis bo win knife or his six shooter for my benefit So I looked op and said—‘Have a drink—oh—er— where is it to be got?* *4 Steward La* it.' be answered, witn aa uncertain kind of wink Steward says I n drunk—won t serve me You go and get the whisky—is:eward can't say you r* drunk—an' well drink it together.' •*I didn't dare refuse him. so I got ur»; but in tryiug to follow ne the little American happened to faJ foul of a Scotch woman with a very large family of children under her garments, like chickens under a hen s wings. Of course she went for him tooth and nail, and sound;v belabored him. and I took the op portunity of just slipping rcund the other side of the funnel and sitting down in the same place as I had beer, before- And then when he had gathered himself up and apparently been all round tbe ship in pursuit of me.* he came bark, trying to peer into our faces so as to identify me aga:a. and take me aloug for 'tbe driuk.’ However, happily ho was too drunk, or too sleepy or something, t be sure of me. and 'the old Scotch lady stood my friend and warned him against getting too near to her: so. at last, he seemed to get sleepy all at once, and he just rolled himself under a h ind barrow or a hand truck and went off to sleep I believe.” said Beautiful Jim. solemnly, •that if we had known he was dying we were ail to ill and frozen and miserable ourselves to have moved so much as a finger to help him. Not. all the same, that he seemed in the smallest danger, for ne slept se renely on. and snored away as happily as possible "However, when morning came and we found ourselves alongside of the quay, some of toe ship's i>eople ca ne along and fished him out. and if you'll believe me. Miss Earle, he was so petrified he couldn’t stand—couldn't move hand or foot.” "But alive she asked. "Alive Oh. yes. And they stuck him up with hi* back against the funnel to get melted; and presently 1 heard him say to himself, in a sleepy sort of tone; ■An’ beuad. 1 ve got an ah-ful crick in me neck.'' "And how did you get ou after?" "Ob, as fmo as possible—and when we got to Dubiiu we found oniy first and second class in the train; but they took us secoud class, and said a ver a word, and we got homo and thought more about it; but. by that same token, it was an awful night, the worst I'v *;*ent in all my life It would not bo easy to say how deeply interested Miss Earle wn- much so. in fact, that she forgot uli about the letter and the unfortunate slip "That’s a very fine story." she said, with a flattering air of u;vrociution. as she lay at ease in the big and idly watched tbe tennis players oti the lawu before. "Ah! I little thought I should ever have tbe heart to make a s.ory out of my miserv," said he. with u laugh; "but, oh. Miss karle. I'm afraid you're frightfully thirsty and hungry. 1 have kept you au unconscionable time listening t'> all my old varus Do come aud have some ice or cup or something." Miss Earle said at cure that she should like a cup of tea, so they sauntered down to the tea tablo. and he ministered to her needs. So their pleasant chat came to an end. Others joined them as they ate their strawberries, uud Miss Earle was peremp torily ordered to complete a set of tennis players, aud in vain did sbo try to get out of it. "My dear, you must play," said tbe dean's beautiful daughter, with kind In sistence "I know yon are sweet ami food, and will give up for anybody; but Lave made up this set for you. and am determined you shall uot be done out it it. "Well, let me finish my tea.” Nancy en treated; and Beautiful Jim thought, though he hardly knew why, that she would much rather have stayed where she was. and. of course, have talked to him. However, she had to go. aud Beautiful Jim, left to himself, finished a very sub stantial repast and looked round for some one to talk to Mrs Trafford was still sitting where she had been when he en tered the garden, but she was alone now, Lady Margaret having moved away to speak to other guests He made his way to her at once. "Mrs Trafford, wouldn't you like to have a turn round the garden?" he asked. "I would much rather have a cup of tea." she replied, laughing Jim gave her his arm at once, and very quickly settled her in a comfo. table chair, with somo claret cup and a p'at-3 of strawberries. Then he pulled another chair near to it for himself, and prepared to have a good time and enjoy it. "What is the news. Mrs Trafford?" he asked—everybody went to Mrs. Trafford for the latest news in Blank ham ntou. "Well," she said, as shodipped astraw berry into tlie little pile or sugar upon her plate, "the corporation are going to take the terrace away from all these I houses 1 think that's the latest of all.” "Awful shame,” murmured Beautiful Jim, to whom Bluukhampton Deanery was merely a pleasant but passing oasis in life's desert, and not a permanent Mecca, as it was to tbe parish set. "And the dean says if they do he'll lock up the Deanery Close aud make a private garden of that! But they know well enough that he will never have tbe heart to shut the children out just to spite the corporation." "Well, it would be rough on the littl* beggars.” said he. "No, I shouldn't think tbe dean would be the sort to do that." "Not he. it isn't in him. and the cor poration people know it—and act upon it. Still it will be a great shame if they con trive to destroy the privacy of all these gardens, for nothing is so unpleasant as being overlooked in that way. Of course you know that Miss Antrobus is going to be married?" she said, with a quick change of tone. m Beautiful Jim edged a step nearer. "No; indeed I aid not And who is the man?” "An old admirer, a man who has been in love with her for years —for yeaks!” answered Mrs. Trafford. unconsciously slipping into Mrs. Hugh Antrobus' grand and inflated stylo of speaking. f told Mrs Antrobus that I hoped she would be very h&ppv, for happiness in marriage is such an important consideration. And she said: ‘Oh! de ar. yes Mr Mandarin is quite the right husband for Polly Iiis de vo tion has been marvelous, and he has loaded her—simply loaded her—with valuable presents." "Mandarin! What a queer name." said Beautiful Jim, who was deeply interested In the fortunes of the fair Polly "I believe." said Mrs. Trafford, looking down demurely as she toyed with her fork and plate, "that Mr. Mandarin’s—er —father and—er—mother were—er—not exactly of the same rare." "Yes,” sai-1 Jim, eagerly "IIis mother was a German Jewess who —well, went, out in some capacity to Shanghai and—and married a rich mer chant of some repute in that city; and— er—the fact is, Mr. Beresforl. when you have seen him—as I have—I don’t sup nose you will be at all surprised at bis bearing such a peculiar name, it suits him very well." Mrs. Trafford ended, put ting down her cup with a very quiet and innocent air. Beautiful Jim by that time was simply convulsed with laughter "Mrs. Trafford." lie exclaimed, "you don't mean that the fair Polly is going to marry a Chinaman! Good God! It's worse than marrying a nigger'" "The late Mrs Mandarin." Mrs Traf ford reminded him, "was a German Jew ess." "Heavens! What a combination. And what is the result like?" "lie is certainly not much to look at," replied Mrs. Trafford. rather dryly. "However, be sterns to be very rich. *and Mrs Antrobus is amply satisfied—amply. So I suppose it is all right." "And the fair Polly?" Beautiful Jim asked. "She was not gushing about it," she answered, "but she smiled and thanked me very prettily when I wished her joy." Nor was Beautiful Jim the oniy person to whom Mrs. Trafford imparted her in format ion that afternoon. It happened that site wa* particularly well up in all the details of the affair—so far as Mrs. Antrobus was able to irnart them—for only that afternoon she had had occasion to go to her dres -maker’s (that person. by the by. livr*d a little way past the River hous* and as she owed Mrs Antrobus three calls and a great deal of oil flat tery and such like attention as was dear to the lit tie widow's patronizing soul, she detenuined, for two fold, nay, a thre* fold reason, to call on that stout and friendly lady. First, because her way that day led her actually past the door; secondly. bee»ns* the fact that she was due at the Deanery tennis party would en able her to cut her visit very short.
