Employment for Somebody. Here it la, and
a very good idea too:
THK 13-8TOP HARMONIUM, with SWELL.
Tnirty guineas. FuU lints sent on applica
tion. Vtby shouldn't a Swell do something for
himself in this way ? Of course, in applying
for the 13-stopper you'd ask the following
questions:
1. Does the Swell play the harmonium f
2. DoeB he require much pressing
3. If he won't play (being sulky, or not
well, for instance) what may you do to him to
make him go f Of course, "If 1 had a donkey
what wouldn't," every one knows all about
that, but in the case, of a Swell the mode of
reatment is Bcarcely bo clear.
4. If a family hires a harmonium, will the
Swell take his meals with them, or by him
self, in his harmonium 1
5. Can the Swell be let out ? Let out with
afety and, if so, may he be depended upon
to come back f
Many more interrogatories might be put to
the enterprising advertisers, but in any case
we have done our duty in making the above
Suggestions, and Caveat emjitor f

entirely overlooked English tongue.
Mbmbbrs and Marked Men. There are cer
tain gentlemen (so called) of whom it is safe
to predict that, in the event of any rebellion,
their names will figure in any petition or de
late that may give them an opportunity of
showing sympathy with the rebels. Every
constituent who is not traitor would do well to
consider whether any one of that lot is a fit
and proper person to represent him in Parlia
ment. The Best Possession Self-possession.
Telegraphy and Tortola. The Atlantic
Cable does tell such lies 1 to this country;
let us hepe not from it. Query What are
the comparative numbers of falsehoods on an
average daily issuing from this end of the
Cable and that ?
All the electric wires, however, from
abroad, bring so many false messages, that
"telegram" will soon be synonymous with
"crammer." Whenever anybody saya the
thing which is not, his hearers will ob
serve, "That's a Telegram 1" and when you
tell a girl anything that she doesn't believe,
she will exclaim, "Oh, you Telegram 1" in
stead of "Oh, you Story 1"

There is an old Baying that "a straw will
break a camel's back," but we Bee nothing

Wanted. One of the London theatres is
delighting us just now with the Way to Get
Harried. What people would be more
thankful for, we judge, is the way how to live
when they are married. The first is a plan
easily understood, and as old as Adam.
"Cobbler, Stick to Youb Last." The
Licensed Victuallers have recently taken to
the selling of tea, as a set-off against the
Grocers, for retailing wine. We consider this
clashing of trades to be highly objectionable,
and, like all other cases of "double dealing,"
calculated to injure those concerned in it.

A dictionary for dramatic authors.
Adatt. To. To be able to translate French
icto English not only literally hut sensibly.
For instancef had you to turn the following
into English: "fn salon dans le chateau de
La Marquise ds Chatedubriant," you would
adapt it thus: "Morning rooms at Oakland,
the country seat oj Lavinia Marchioness Fitz
Treryllian." AcTiN(i. See Buffoonery.
Dialohik, A. The string of talkee-talkee
upon which you thread your pearls of scenery.
Dialogue in a play has been in fashion for
many years, but it seems now to be gradually
dying out before the approach of the artist's
paint-brush.
Extravaganza, An. A sort of Christmas
pantomime, brought out at all seasons of the
year. It consists chiefly of bosh, bunkum,
folly, and twaddle. It is necessary to carry a
Slang Dictionary, with your opera-glasses,
when you pay a visit to one of these enter
tainments (?) (See also Burlesque and
Ll'NAC'Y.)
Originality. The art of sucking other
men's brains. To be original, you must turn
somebody's novel into a piece and call it your
own. Thus if a Btory is published which
proves a great success, it is your business as
an "original" author to steal the plot, the
best situations, and all the characters for a
new piece, which of course you must register
as your own property.
Piracy. The act of stealing from an "origi
nal" dramatist the plot he has already pilfered
from an original novelist. Fortunately, this
scandalous crime can easily be put down with
all the terrors of the law.
'Vom Fun.

BAY!
A Madrigal.
Bay, have you seen my Cellft pass,
WUli locks of gold and lips of cherry;
With a foot so libt upon tbe grass,
It scarcely snakes the Uewdrops merry?
Eay, have yon seen the lovely maid,
A Hi red iii flowing gown aud klrtlo.
And wearing round her brows a braid
Of roues, gtilillowers, and myrtle?
Bay, have you met her on the down.
Or where the purllug brooklets chatter,
Or lu the mends, or near the town !
You haven't? Well, It doesn't matter I
Tub Arcumentum'ad Adsurdum. We never
believe a man when he professes to be re
strained from marrying by the extravagant
Btyle of female dress. Such arguments, as
a lady observed to us, are simply fal-lal-acious.
Bully for You. The press of Madrid is
writing down hull-fighting. But the motive
is not humanity but economy. It seems that
bull-fighting costs the nation about two hun
dred thousand pounds per annum, so the
papers have determined to take the bull by
the horns. We wish them success, no matter
what their motive is, for the extinction of the
brutal sport will be "a good Mad-riddance of
bad rubbish."
A Suggestion. The police are now taking
extra precautions for their own and, let us
hope, for the publio safety; may we hint
that it would in no way Impair the efficiency
of members of the force if they were supplied
with a dram of mountain dew before mountin'
du-ty ?
Reason or Instinct T A friend of ours pos
sesses a retriever bo highly trained that he
will, at the word of command, fetch a copy of
Tupper's "Proverbial Philosophy" from the
nearest bookseller's, but sensible animal he
never attempts to swallow the ooutenti. That
dog deserves a testimonial a fconcy-fide one.
From the Heart-ic Regions. The Hall
whalers have had a bad time of it last season,
many of them returning to port comparatively
"clean." Strange Bights abound in those
little-frequented latitudes, yet everything that
came under the notice of the crews wi so
very unlike a whale that it almost had the
effect of making the men themselves "blab
ber." TiiirriNo. A contemporary informs us that
"The young women of Kenosha, Wisoonsin,
are to compete for prizes at a dancing tourna
ment." Surely, this is putting the matter on
a wrong footing. Tournaments were for the
difplay of feats of arms, not of feats of legs.
At the dancing competition the President will
be the KiDg of (dancing) Booty, we suppose,
and list slippers will be excluded from the
lists.
Not bo Black ab They Seem. Many lessons
may be learned by "civilized" nations from
the savage. We Bpeak within the bills of
mortality when we assert that pocket picking
is en offense absolutely unknown among the
aborigines of Australia. This speaks volumes
not only for their honesty, but for their sim
plicity of coBlume.
"I say, Clem," cried two disputing
darkeys, appealing for decision to a sable
umpire, "which word is right di-zaotly or
de-zaotly t" The. eable umpire reflected a
moment, and then, with a look of wisdom,
said, "I can't tell per-zaotly."
The Shenandoah LleralJ tells a story of a
newly enfranchised negro named Ctrsar, who
voted in the late election:
The day of election came. Cnsar put his
little slip of paper in the mysterious ballot
box. He had voted ! He expressed his opi
nion yes, his opinion on a great question I He
was met by one of his white friends, who ac
costed him thus:
"Well, C.-rsar, did you vote f"
"Yes, sah, I did vote."
"Well, how did you vote f"
"Don't know, sah; 'twon't be known ffor
several days. When de vote's counted den
I'll know all about It."-
An Irishman's friend having fallen into a
slough, the Irishman called aloud for assist
ance. The latter was busily engaged in cut
ting a log, and, wishing to proerastinate, in
quired: "How deep is the gentleman in ?"
"Up to his ankles."
"Then there is plenty of time," said the
other.
"No, there's not," rejoined the first. "I
forgot to tell you he is in head first."
'Tapa," said a little boy, "ought the
master to flog me for what I did not do f"
"Certainly not, my boy," said the father.
"Well," replied the little fellow, "he did to
day when I didn't do my sum."
An ignoramus had been siek, and, on re
covering, was told by the doctor that he might
take a little animal food. "No, sir," said he,
"I took your gruel easy enough," but hang me
if I can eat your hay and oats.
A French wit says that the gibbet is a
species of flattery to the human race. Three
or four persons are hung from time to time for
the sake of making the rest believe that they
are virtuous.

Having recently noticed In several of our
public papers articles complaining of tbe bad quality
Of gat, and reflecting on the mansgemsnt of tbe
Trust, I therelore deem It necessary, In Justice to
the Board of Trustees, to the publio, and to myself.
that I should make some exp.anatlon In regard to
the matter.
I would therefore state a few simple facta, trusting
that I may be able to satisfy any intelligent mind
that the Insufficiency of light Is not caused by bad sias
or mlsmansgemsnt on the part of those having
charge of the works.
The coal we are now nslng Is of the very best quality
for gs purposes, the same class of coal has been used
In tbe works for a number of years, tbe gas Is manu
factured and purified In tbe same manner as hereto
fore, the workmen employed are tbe best that can be
obtained, and are fully as skilful ts any former ones;
the llluuiinatlrg power ottbe gas Is at all times (ex
cept on one occaslon.'of which I will hereafter speak)
fully opto the standard of ilxteen candles as tested
with a Bstswliig burner cousumli g Bve cubic feat per
hour under a pressure of two Inches; it Is tbereiore
not bad gas that causes pool light, but an Insutllclent
preHiare; fur Insiance, any ooiiHumer may notice that
on Sunday evening, or on any evening alter looril
o'clock, wben In avy counumptlon cease-, there Is
plenty of light or tbe gas Is good. Now does any sensi
ble person believe that we manufacture poor gas and
deliver it to the consumer before li or 11 o'clock, aud
good gas after that lime or on Sunday evenings J Ol
course nut; such a tiling would be impossible.
I will art ml t. as bMorestaied, tl.at on one occasion.
soma ten days since, the gas was below tbe ordinary
standard, caused as follows; Haviug Increased our
make at the Point Breeze Works to tbe exteut ol
over five bundled thousand cubic feet every twenty
tour hours, It became necessary to provide additional
mains to remove the lias from tbat point to the point
ol consumption, and In making the connections of
those large mains a consklerab.e quantity of atmo
spheric a r was taken into the pipes, thereby reducing
tbe Illuminating quality t the gas. This gas was
mostly Distributed In the southern section of he
cllv. owing to its being the nearest point of consump
tion, aud from tbat section came tbe coinpUInt:
In the northern sectiun of the city the adulter
tlon was so slight as to be scarce y7 perceptible.
The consumption of gas from December 1 to 13,
Inclusive, of the following years, was In
Cubic Foet.

Showing au Increase In 18', 7 over 1860 or over 63 per
cent., with no Increase In size of distributing mains,
thereby overtaxing tbe mains, and reduclug the pres
sure on nights ol heavy consumption below that
which Is necessary to insure a proper and uniform
liKbt, This evil Is now being remedied as fast as pos
sible, and would have been done sooner but for tbe
waul of means, the Trustees haviug no cash capital
to work upon, and the last loan of Councils being ex
hausted inithe extension of manufacturing capacity
(which the foregoing table shows was absolutely
necessary), and In the laying of main and service
pipes Iii the newly built up portions of the city; there
fore all that Is now required is tbe laying ot large
distributing mains through the centre of the city to
Insure to all c onsuraers a free How of good gas.
There Is another matter I would call attention to.
During tbe last year or eighteen months, several
varieties of governors or controllers have been intro
duced, and many of our cltlzeBS have had them
placed on their meters for tbe purpose of regula'lng
the pressure of gas. Now, while It Is not my inten
tion lo condemn them, I do say that, from the fact of
ot a majority of persons uslug tbem not properly
understanding the principle upon which they work.
Is to be attributed the larger portion ot the clamor
about bad gas, A controller answers very well
for some localities; for Instance, on hlU
points, or on the line of large maius whore there is a
very bigb pressure, but at low points, unless it is pro
perly arranged.it Is preventing a proper supply of
gas from passing through tbe meter, thereby redut-lng
tbe light and making what the consumer supposes lo
be bad gas. It Is a certain fact that nine-tenths of the
r mplalniB made at our oflices of an insulllcient light,
prove, upon examination, to be caused by the panics
obstructing tbe How of gas by a controller, or by hav
ing tbe stops partially closed on the Inlet lo the
meter.
Hoping these explanations may satisfy every com
plaluing consumer that It Is not bad gas, but au Insuf
ficient pressure, tbat causes bis puor light.
I remain, respectfully.
