City Magistrate Omnten, following his discovery that four prisonersmarraigned before for disorderly conduct di& not know who hadsgone 1 for them, intends, in his\owm words, “to sift thermat- to the bottom.” Phe professional bondsman is@reputed to receive $5 or each bond furnished by him. “He generally has a loon on the nearest corner andBeverybody atthe sta- tion-house knows him.’ Where in the case of more > responsible bondemen lack of proof of identity or other B jeality has led to refusal of?tho proffered: bail the D jonal by his pull 1s enabled to have his+prisoner without delay. On this favoritism a surrep- “ttious but remunerative business |has been built up. Its sifppression, the accoptanre of cash ball from prisoners and the use of less rigid requirements about the Wentity of other bondsmen will, mean a better carrying "out of the intent of the statute, therobject of which is | *to allow a priconer charged with a trivial offense: a opportunity to be admitted to (bail.” 7 . s ROME AND NEW YORK. ' Last Sunday the Rev. Mr. Rabbitt,.reprobating “the and follies of fashion,” saidwthat the effect of the éewspaper stories of money spentton “‘balls, yachts and ‘@utomobiles” tended to “dazzle the people as of old the p of Rome awed a plebelan populace.” On the same day at Montclair the Rev.

It is all in vain that he tries to male her understand that common curtesy demands he shall show @ certain amount of civility to his sister's guests. Angelina refuses to listen to his explanations, until at ieee Sala aes al that stings to the quick, and, presto, his ring {s thrown: ai Fenny t him and the rift in the lute Perhaps it may yet be mended. There is a fallacy that lovers’ quarrels go to strengthen love toler tain te weaken it, and that one of the greatest pleasures of court ship Is to differ in order to “kiss and be frienda’ after« ward, That depends greatly. There are people who never * | forget and who rarely forgive. 3] A mended cup may be strong if the cement used is good, $ ‘but it is not often sightly. Thus a wound rarely falls to ? | leave a scar which may sting and burn for years efter the $,| hurt has apparently healed. Nor is it often easy to mistake @|the scar for a dimple. A watchful gardener never allows a weed to show fts hea@® in his borders, stil! less does he permit it to go to seed. The lover should be equally careful to avoid all appearance of distrust and suspicion, to put away from bim all that may interfere with the flowers of love and faith. It is the little foxes which are to be dreaded, ‘the pretty, playful, teasing little creatures, apparently eo innocent and harmless, put whose sharp teeth bite home and whose claws ecratch cruelly when one touches them. Supersensitiveness is a misfortune rather than @ fault, 4, although it is unpleasant when one's dear ones carry’ 4& chip on the ‘shoulder, it 1s worth while to take pains not to disturb its equilibrium. ‘True love is tender, always. There are few people, men or women, who have not their ‘weaknesses, and to understand and bear with these fe not the least duty of genuine affection. Let lovers who have quarrelled look back and eay, if they can, how the disagreement began. Probably the matter which provoked the first unkind speech was something sa trivial as to call forth a blush at the mere recollection of tt, a trifle which seems now utterly unworthy of consider- ation, Yet, small as it was, like the mustard seed of holy writ, it grew to giant stature, out of all proportion to its Insignificant beginning. A thorn is a little thing, but it has, caused many a death by blood poisoning, and a thorn in the spirit rankles far more than a thorn in the flesa. Not infrequently some unlucky ‘mpulse tempts a woman to see how far she can try the patience of the man whom: she loves with all her heart. No end of harm ts done by people who mean none. So she goes beyond her tether, and before she knows it the tightly strained cord has snapped and not all the powers thet be can reunite it. Moreover, meddling and officious friends have to answer for many broken engagements and many love affairs nippe@ in the bud, A Ile that is all a lle may be met with and conquered: ‘outright; but @ lie that is partly a truth {s a harder matter to fight. Usually the He has just enough of the leaven of truth to prevent its falling flat, and since the maligned one cannot deny it in toto he might, In many cases, as well not deny it at all. ‘He and sho who refuse to listen to tattlers are wise, and in any case no tale should be credited when the accuser Js unwilling to repeat the charge in the presence of the accused. Moreover, they who seek peace should remember that it takes two to quarrel, and that ‘‘a soft answer turne eth away wrath, but grievous words stir up ange! | RANKING OFFICERS OF THE ARINY, ‘The several ranking officers of the United States Army ; down to the advent of the general staff on Aug. 15 have ‘been: George ‘Washington, General and Commander-in- Chief, 1775-1783; Major-Gen.
