The inventor of the roller skates made over
$2011,000 notwithstanding the fact that his pat
ient had nearly expired before its value was
ascertained.
As emperor of Germany, young William" re
ceives no salary, but as king of Prussia he has
$3,500,000 a year,so he continues to keep house
and get along fairly well.
. Senator Ingalls regards Government office a
.existing for the purpose of paying his debts. I
the men who work, "spend money" and get up
in the night for Ingalls have a claim on the Gov
ernment, why should he not discharge his butch
ers and tailor bills by getting them a fat ap
pointment? The theory of personal proprietor
ship in. the Government patronage is a danger
ous one both at the murzle and the breech.
Charlie Ross disappeared on the 27th of Au
gust, 1874. He was then 4 years of age, so that
if now living he would be 18. His story has
been read with interest throughout the civilized
world and is recalled by a narrative recently
published in the Brooklyn Eagle. Long before
the time of Ross, in March, 1 86 1 , Charlie Lis
penard was kidnapped in South Fifth street, in
this city. Although heard from since that time
he was not seen again in Brooklyn until last
week. He remembers little of his adventures
After he was stolen until he was employed on an
Indiana farm where he was ill treated. Return
ing to his old home he finds his mother an j
father yet living.

;Xt is simply remarkable, the amount of
money that the republicans claimed never
reached the voters for whom it was intend
ed. The latest rumor is that $40,000
raised in Pittsburg was appropriated by two
republican workers to their personal and
private use. ....
Replying te the question,uShould women
propose marriage.?" the Rev. De Witt Tal-
m'age answered : "Why,you are centuries
too late in asking -that question. Women
always have proposedtand always will pro
pose. Wards are very weak things coin
pared with womanly affability and loveli
ness. The most splendid being on earth is
a good woman, and when, with all her at
tractiveness, she makes up her mind that it
would be well for her to be the wife-of
some good man, and that it would be
equally well for him, she captures him as
easily as a regiment captures the corporal.
It does not make any difference whether
her tongue proposes or not, her eyes pro
pose, her smile proposes, her mode of ent
ering a room proposes. Until a man gets
from a woman a proposition of that style
he had better not make a proposition of his
own ur.less he wants to be made to feel
ridiculous the rest of his lifetime."
The millers of the Northwest are arranging
now to cut down the production of flour for the
month of January. The poor people of the
country will probably limit the consumption be
fore the Winter is over. .
Georgia is coming to the front in splen
did style. A bill appropriating $500,000
for the schools of the state was adopted on
Thursday by her legislature.

Strange as it may seem, the English
"Rotten Borough System,"which was swept
away by the reform bill of 1S32, finds a
striking parallel in Connecticut. When.in
7818, the present state constitution was
framed, th population of New Haven was
but little larger than that of the town of
Litchfield. Consequently, the cities were
given only two representatives in the low
er house.the number enjoyed by the towns
already incorporated, while the new townB
were allowed one representative. The de
crease of the rural population and the rapid
growth of the cities has at length so
Changed the former condition of things that
sixty small towns,with a total vote of 11,
851, have seventy-six representatlves,while
New Haven and Ilartford.with a combined
vote of '9,158, have but four. In fact, a
single voter in the little village of Union
has a representation equal to that enjoyed
by 151 citizens of New Haven. Again,
twenty-two leading towns, including Hart
ford and New Haven, which cast about 82,
5S5 ballots out of 153,648, the total vote of
the state, send only forty-two of the 249
members of the lower house.In the Senate,
also, the same evil oblains.by reason of the
unfair arrangement of senatorial districts.
The flagrant injustice which is thus in
trenched behind the constitution is most
vividly shown by the fact that, while New
Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury,
Merlden, Norwich and New London furn
ish ten twenty-thirds of the stale taxation,
they send cnly fourteen of the 349 repre
sentatives.
The New York World, In speaking of
certain hot-headed democratic officials who
say they will resign their office rather than
serve under a republican administration,
says :
Fudge. To democrats about to resign
I he norms advice is : stick 1
The offices do not belong to the republi
can party simply because it has secured by
hook and by crook a majority of the elec
toral votes. The offices belong to all the
people. They are for the service of all.
All contribute to their support. A faithful
and competent postmaster or other official
commissionea for four years has just as
much right to serve out his term as has a
Judge appointed for life.
The reform principle to which both par
ties are pledged requires that there shall
be no removal without cause. It Is bad
enough to supplant an experienced and
efficient public agent with a new and un
tried man, for party reasons alone, upon the
expiration of his term. It Is a gross mis
use of power to remove him before that
time. If party pledges nre not respected, a
commission of the President of the United
States should be.
If the republican party wants the offices
before ther are vacant let it take them by
looting. No democrat should be foolish
enough to resign.
