BAD BOOKS. Rev. Mr. Mackay Gives his Hearers Plain talk, Sensational Novels and Goody-Goody Memoirs both to be Avolded, 20 conts per week P $10.00 per Yoat A —| Rev.T.J. Mackay, the rector of St. Paul's church, is not at all backward in telling his people just what he belioves. Yestorday morning, in his usual frank manner, he pulled off his gloves and handled the subjoct of literature for youth and children. Ho chose as his starting point the incident in the life of Manoah, whon an angel appeared unto her and informed her that sho was to bring forth a child, Samson. Ho paused to remark that in American homos such an announcoment would bring sadness and gloom, rather than joy and gladness. Mr. Hotles is preparing spocial sconery | o had already, in a previous discourse, for the ‘‘Belles of Corneville.” handled that subject, and so only paused No. 7 Poarl Street, Near Broadway.

A special meeting of the city council is called for this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the main purpose being to give Mr. Barber a chance to explain his asphalt pavement, and as ths.})avmg question is one which concerns all, many citizens will gladly take this opportunity of learning some of the facts, gy attending the meeting and hearing Mr. Barber. e — The young ladies who gave a leap-year dance found that after paying expenses they had about $7 in the general fund. They very wisely concluded to purchase groceries with this for the Home of the Friendless, and accordingly sent down flour, oat méal, sugar, etc., amountingto this sum. Some good came out of ‘‘the giddy measures of the dance,” besides all who participated had a good time. Bill Lloyd, better known as *Comanche Bill,” was arrested Saturday night by Ofticers Cusick and Brooks. Comanche Bill is a well-known character, and it is said that he was in Macedonia the day before the safe-blowing there, and suspi- cion has pointed toward him as being connected with other plundering done in this vicinity, All that was found in his pockets was a few faro checks. Tue Bee is in recoipt of a copy of sheet music just published in the inter- est of the Chicago & Rock Island rail- way. The words and music are composed by J. A, Roff, who is in the company’s oftice here, and who has written some excellent music before. In fact, he is rather a genius in the fine arts, and this last song shows that he is gaining rather than losing, it being an even better one than that which he composed for the road last year, This new one is entitled A famous railway line.” JOHN W.
