JESSIE.
BY DAVID "s. r'os'r'na.
And I have loved thee, Jessie! and have seen
Thy mind an rm expanding with thy years,
From timid eig t to ravishing eighteen, '
Have shared thy joys, thy woes, thy hopes,
thy fears,
Possessed of all that pleases and endears
\Vcrt thou,I and sweet the captivc's chain I
wore,
Bit now, alas! that love, thy charms, my
tears
Of grief that thou wert wed, alike are o’er,
For thou art seventy and I am seventy-four.
——Brz'o-a-Brac, Scribner‘s M071 filly.

New Yonx, Feb. 27, 1877.
THE Ill'll.l)l.\‘G rnosrncr. ‘
'I‘ crc has been no building in New York
tospeak of for three. years; because there
is now on the island more houses than there ,
are families, and more stores than there are
merchants. Real estate isthc poorest prop-
erty a man can have in this city, for there is
no such thing as dodging taxes on it, and
rents are nothing. But as bad as the lookout
is for rents, there will be every large amount ,
of building this season. The average New
Yorker is foolish enough to believe in the
final triumph of the city over the adverse cir-
cumstances it finls itself in, and that within
a year or two tl.--re will be 'a demand for
property; and 1.. is going to build this sum-
mer, because he will be able to build cheaper,
than-he ever will again. For instance, com-H
mon laborers are getting only 90 Iccnts‘a day; '
bod-carriers, $1, and brick-layers, $2. The
latter used to command from $5 to 8%". Car-
penters, painters, plasterers, in short all the
trades that enter into building, are reduced
in the same proportion.
as great a difference in building material.
Brick and stone are down to hard pan, and
there must be an improvement in them next
year. The owner of improved real .cstatc
reasons that if he can build this summer at
half "of what it will cost- him two years
hence, be can. well afford to let the building
stand idle for the time. Consequently, there
will be a great many buildings erected this
year which will stand empty. But it will be
a good thing, for it will give the poor em-
ployment, and help to bridge over what
otherwise would be a terrible year.
POLITICAL.
There is do change in the political situa-
tion. The democracy are chligrined beyond
telling‘tit the turn affairs have takenin Wash-
ington, but- the business men in the party in-
sist that the decision of the commission shall
be respected. That eminent reformer, Mr.
John Morrisscy, is indignant at their apathy.
Mr. Morrissey put up a great deal of money
to aid in making his friend and associate,eMr.
Til-den, President, under the promise that he .
was to-control the appgintments .‘in New
York. He wants Tilden to make him good,
but the astute Samuel declines to do anything
of the sort, claiming, and properly, that Mr
Morrissey went ‘ into the speculation as ’a
speculation, and that if he has lost it is the
same as though he had bet it on any other
game. Morrissey swears that there is no
honor among politicians, and he is going back
to regular gambling. He says the worst skin
game in New York has more honor in it than
he has found among the democratic politi-
cians. He is disgusted, and has made his
last sppearancerin national politics. He will
confine himself hereafter to plundering the‘
city and State, and his faro banks. I think,
myself, he will do better. There isn’t a gam-
bler in New York who is up to the tricks of
Tilden and his gang. They can lay such men
as Morrissey out every time.
came.
The city is full of it. Men are killing wn-
men—women are killing men, and cashiers
are getting away with the balances. . The
gamblers are getting their harvests in, and,=
in short, the ten commandments are having a
hard time of it. A curious case came to the
surface lately. The confidential man in a
Wall street. banking house was suspected by
the president of using money that belonged to
the. bank. The president, to astsure himself,
put it detective on his track ; and it was made
a certain thing that he. was living a long way
ahead of his salary, and that he could not
carry on his expenses without stealing at.
least. ten thousand a year. The president
took him into his private office, and without
a great deal of gravity, informed the cashier
that all his Outgoings and incomings were
known—that he spent his nights at a certain
house up town—that he paid the rent of the,
house, and the expenses of the lady who
lived in it; and that. ——
He didn’t go any further, for the clerk in-
terrupted him.
“You are mistaken sir. I do spend agrcat
deal of my timc'iu that house, and it costs a
great deal of money, but I do not pay it.
my situation I cannot afford to.”
“Who does support her?" was the ques-
tion. '
“You do,” was the reply.
‘ ‘Mrs. in
the next house, the lady you keep, happens to.
’ - tprcvailed.
heasister of the lady who is fond of me.
The two Women have always been partners,
and knowing that I was a mere subordinate,
Mrs. , your woman, makes you pay
enough to keep both houses going. I am
stealing something, but I am not so impru-
dent as to squander it. I am laying up pro-
vision for old age, sir.” . .
The bank president, who belonged to one
of the most aristocratic churches up town,
blustered for a moment, but his clerk kept
very cool.
“I have thought, sometimes, said the
merciless young man, that it was my duty
to the stockholders to have an investigation
made of your accounts, but I thought better
of it.” ,
What else transpired will never be known.
Only this, the young man was promoted im-
mediately, his salary was raised, and, re-
trenchment being a proper thing in these
times, the two ladies moved into one house,
saving the expense of keeping up two estab-
lishments,and, besides,it is convenient for the
two principal men in the concern to meet
there to discuss the affairs of the bank.
When it finally smashes, two of its officers
will be well provided for.
THE xnwsmrnns.
Newspaper property is about the worst
thing to have in New York. The Herald,
which used to make a profit‘of seven or eight
hundred thousand dollars per year, is' only a
little more than paying its expenses. It
charges forty cents a line for advertising, and
gets all the “wants,”“‘for sales," and what is
known as the servant girl advertising. But
the servant girls haven’t got any money now,
and its pages are bare. The Tribune is losing
money; the Times is just holding its own,and
hardly that; the Sun is making something,
but not much, and the rest are sinking
money. People have no more interest in
newspapers than they have in anything else,
but nothing so Well and truly indicates the
condition of business as the condition of the
newspapers. The hard timescuts off circu-
lation, and in bad times there is nothing to
induce the advertiser to make investments.
There are no bonds selling now, the manufac—
turers are selling close to‘the wind, the times
are too hard’for swindle's even, and so the
revenues of the newspapers are cut down
very close. They are all struggling along,
however, hoping with everybodyelse for-the
good times that are to come.
BUSINESS
Generally is very bad, though a little improv-
edsince last week. It is safe to expecta
steady improvement right along now. The
mills in New England hava started up, and
trade from that section is improved. The
South and West is coming in more freely, and
the prospect for a moderate trade in the
Spring is promising. One manufacturing

House, Thursday March lst.
Mr. Harrison called Mr. Gallup to the
chair, and proceeded to explain the order of
the day. Mr. Harrison confined himself to
the proposed changes to the election law now
in force. The chief changes proposed consist
in the abolishment Of the system 0 ertifi:
catc voting and the system of checks to pre-
vent fraudulent voting in cities. Mr. Sanford
of Bedding, moved to amend the bill so as to
provide that the voting shall be done in one
box, and the names of candidates to be voted
. for be all on one ticket. Messrs. Harrison
and Graves discussed this amendment briefly,
and the effect. produced was its rejection by a
vote of 99 to 05. Mr. Graves moved to amend
by striking out tire. sixth section of the bill,
inscrti ng two other sections providing for cert i -
ficate voting. He urged the. adoption of this
anu-mlmeut, on the. ground that an injustice
was done an elector in compelling him to
register him-self again, every time he moves
from one town to another. r‘vlr. Harrison
said ‘ ere ll.ll.l heifer be. injustice to a few
elector than . l.;l.33llll’- fraud on the ballot
box, citing in support of this idea numerous
'instances of fraudulent registration in the
State. Mr. West said there had not been
fraud enough ’through using certificates, to
carry a single town in the State. Mr.Graues’
amendment was rejected by a vote of 131 to
92. An amendment relieving town and city
elections from the working of the checking
system was proposed by Mr. Harrison. This
amendment provided that: the checking
system should apply only to annual city elec-
tions, and it was adopted by a strong vote.
The amendment providing that three lines
of the constitution or the statutes shall be
sullicient to be read b ' an clecfor,'was pre-
sented by Messrs. Harrison and Stevens and
was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Harrison proposed an amendment pro-
viding that no “idiot or insane person shall
be entitled to the electoral privileges of the
State.” Mr. Stevens moved an amendment
to the amendment, which was substantially
the same as the one just rejected,but this was
in turn rejected, and Mr. Harrison’s amend-
Mr. Harrison took the floor
spoke for some time in defence of this
checking system as a prevention of the “re-
peating nuisance,” and in conclusion called
for the previous question on the adoption of
ihe amendment. The vote resulted as fol-
OWS :

Mr. Harrison proposed to amend by an ad-
dition to one of the sections, permitting reg-
istrars to enroll without the reading test, any
blind person provided he shall prove himself
to have been formerly an Elector in the State.
This amendment was adopted, also one offer-
ed by Mr. Stevens extending the time for
the closing of the registry lists from 9. p. n‘.

Mona TALKING Br WIRE—The Boston
Advertiser of Monday says : “The most
important of the tests made recently by Prof.
A. Graham Bell in the practical develomcnt
of telephony is dispensing with the use of
the battery entirely,so that now all that is rc-
quired to communicate between the most
distant places is simplya line of wire and
the telephones. Yesterday morning success-
ful experiments were made between Boston
and Salem on the Eastern Railroad wire. At
the Boston end were Prof. Bell,Mr. Nutting,
the operator, Mr. E. H. Foster, Mr. Wil.
liam Auld, and Mr. J. B. Parker, and at the
Salem end Mr. S. A. “Iatson, who is associa-
ted with Mr. Bell, and the lady operator.
Recently two Japanese gentlemen Converged
111 their own language through the telephones
and had no difficulty in understanding all
that they said. - An experiment has been
made in overcoming an artificial resistance
greater than the Atlantic cable. and there is
no doubt but that it willbe possible to talk
across the Atlantic." - -'
REMEDY FOB DE.\rxnss.—Drop three or four
drops of glycerine in the car before retiring
at night ; in the morning syringe the ear
with warm water, and continue this practice
faithfully for s6me time. The deafness and
singing often result from a collection of wax
on the tympanum or drum of the car, and
the glycerine has the effect to loosen it,
while the water removes it. I have known
this experiment to be successfully tried on
persons eighty years old, when the hearing
would naturally be very imperfect.

The question of dress in the public schools
recently so prominently discussed in 'Boston,
is attracting the attention of New York
writers, one of whom suggests that reform
should begin with teachers who should, be
required to adopt a decent plainness of dress.
Some of them in‘ that eity,‘he boys, wear
stlk dresses, jewelry, even diamonds, rings,
etc., and elaborate hair dressing. ‘

One of the best double puns we have ever
heard was perpetrated by a clergyman. He
had just'united in marriage a couple whose
Christian names were respectively Benjamin
and Ann. . “How (lid they appear during'the
ceremony ?" inquired a friend. “They ap-
peared both Annie-mated and Bennie-fitted,’.’
was the reply.

Testing Her Affections.
Mr. Thorpe is a middle-aged widower, and
some time ago he paid his distreSSes to Mrs.
Botts, a widow on the shady side of forty.
T horpc is rich, and after the widow accepted
him, he began to fear that maybe she hadtak‘
en him for his money, and so he concludedto
test her to ascertain if she really loved 'him
for himself alone. So one evening,when they
were sitting together in the parlor, he said to
her :
“Hannah, I’ve somethingunpleasant to tell
you, but I am going to do it because I consid-
er it right that you should know it. Han-
nah, what would you say if I informed you
t‘iat one of my kncepans is gone, and that I
have a patent hinge on that leg 7”
“I should say that I cared nothing for that,
my dear: I have only one toe on my left
foot. The others were frostbtiten off, and
the ankle is twisted around crooked.” '
“You don‘t tell me I” said Thorpe. “Well,
but I've something worse than that. I might
as well confess now that the bald place on
top of my head is not really my sclap ; I’ve
been trepanned. I have a silver-plated con-
cern set into my skull, a kind of skylight.
You can lift it up and see down on the inside
of me.”
“I’m glad you mentioned it, dear,’ said
the widow, “for it gives me courage to tell
you that I haven’t a hair of my own on my
head. I’m bald as a chandelier globe.”
“Is that so ? Gracious ! I never should
have expected it. But you will be surprised
to learn that none of my teeth are natural.
All false, and besides that, I have to wear an
India-rubber thingamagig on my palate to
keep it from dropping down.”
“I’m very sorry for you, John, but it‘s
ltsomc comfort that all my teeth are false too,
and that I am perfectly blind in my right
eye. It looks like a good eye,bnt it absolute-
Iy ain’t worth a cent.”
"Great Heavens ! Why didn't you tell me
of this before 7" exclaimed Thorpe. “But
while we are on this subject, I will say fur-
that that I have chronic torpidity of the liver.
and that my breast-bone is disjointed so that
it: sticks out like a chickcn’s. How docsthat
strike you ?
“O, I don’t mind it,” said Mrs. Botts,“be-
cause I have been bilious and dyspeptic for
twenty years ; I have a wen on the back Of
my neck, and besides I am one rib short. It
was broken in a railroad accident, and the
doctor had to cut it out. I’m subject to fits,
too. .
“This is horrible,” said Thorpe. “Mrs.
Bolts, I think you ought to have mentioned
these things to me when I proposed to you. I
imagined that I was addressing a woman, a
complete human creature. But what are
you, Mrs. Botts '3 Mrs. Bolts, you appear to
me to be a kind of a dilapidated old wreck,
with not more’n half of the usual machinery
about you. It’s a wonder to me you don’t fall
to pieces."
“I am no more than you are. You said
yourself that you have a trap-door in the top
of your head and a gum-elastic palate, and I
don’t know but'what you have to wind your-
self up with a key at. night when you go to
bed, to keep yourself running until morn-
ing.”
“Yes, but these things ain’t true,” said
Thorpe. “I only told you about them to see
if you really loved me. I’m as sound as a
dollar ; no inactive liver, or silvenplated
skull, or anything. But you seem to be kind
of strung together, so’s if you should knock
against anything you’d scatter all around over
the carpet. I think you ought to let me Off."
“Very well, sir, so I will. But let me tell
you that I've got nothing the matter with me
either. I only invented those stories to try
you because I knew you were playing a game
on me. Now I know you don't love me.
You can go, sir.”
“Hannah, I take it all back.
you.”
“Do you really ? Then I love you more
than—” '
But no; the curtain had better be drawn
right here. The cold and selfish world has
no business with such scenes as this. They
are to be consolidated earl y next month.

_ A Royal Edict.
T he Queen of Madagascar has recently is-
sued the following Edict, ' prohibiting the
traffic in rum. The reasons she gives for the
prohibition are sound and weighty. We com:
m'end the document to the consideration of
the authorities of olde hristian nations:
“ I, Ranovalomanjaka, y the Grace of God
and \Vill of my People, Queen of Madagas-
car and Defender of the Laws of my
K1ngdom:—
“ And this is what Isay to you, my: sub-
jects. God hsa given me this land and‘king-
dom ; and concerning the rum, oh, my sub-
Iecls, you and I have agreed that it shall not
be sold in Antananarivo or in the district in
which it was agreed it should not be sold
[Imerina the central province]. Therefore I
remind you of this again, because the rum
does harm to your persons, spends your pos-
sessions in vain, harms your wives sud chil-
dren makes foolish the wise, makes more
foolish the ‘foolish [literally gives heart to
the foolish], and causes people not to fear
the laws of the kingdom, and especially
makes them guilty before God. All this
shows the rum to be a bad thing to have at
Antananarivo, for at night (under its influence)
people go about with clubs to fight, and they
fight each other without cause, and stone
each other; therefore why do you love it, oh
my people ?
"I tell you that trade in good things, by
which you can earn money, makes me very
glad indeed, oh my people. If you trade in
mm, or employ people to trade in it here 111
Antananarivo, or inlthe district spoken of
above, then according to the laws which
were made formerly, 1 consider you to be
guilty, becauseIam not ashamed to make
laws in my kingdom which shall do you
good. Therefore I tell you that if there are
people who break my laws then I must: pun-
ish them. Is not this so, oh my people '3
