A New- Haven boy recently, "for iuo," inserted an advertisement in & local paper for a husband. A Western farmer answered it, and the young man wrote at length, describing himself as a handsome middle-aged woman, with a long bank account. The eranger came on last week to sec the woman, lie is now after the young man with a suit for fraud and loss of time and ir.oney. A railway is building from the.South eru Pacific's main lines to the celebrat ed Cinnabar mines, producing quick silver, in tb,e neigborhood of New Al maden, Cal. Great difficulties have always been experienced in getting cheap and suitable transportation to aad from these mines. Donkeys have been largely employed hitherto, and at cms time many of the camels now run in? wild m Arizona were used there. The. London Standard says that the population of Paris is decidedly de creasing. Last autumn there were nearly 115.000 fewer inhabitants of the French capital than four years ago. and this diminution bears heavily oa the cab and omnibus companies. Apparently the chief absentees are the foreign residents and the poorer work in? class, who can get food and house room cheaper outside the city. During the last thirty yeara the con sumption of mait liquor, which had been very inconsiderable and confined to a few localities, has greatly increas ed in Ireland. Brewing in the last cen tury was in some parts a yery flourish ing industry, bat when the duties on a barrel of corn brewed into, ale bicame nearly double the duties on the same quality distilled into whiskey the latter became the popular tipple. . ' The business of painting the huge signs upon fences and barns which as sault the eye in all parts of the country is in the hands ot a few contractors in New York and Chicago. One firm in l his city spends from $10,000 to $20,000 a year in thi3 way, paying from one and one-half to two cents a square foot for the work. The bigger the sign the better. Many can be found reaching 200 feet in length, and the biggest ot all (at Newark, Ohio) is more than 800 feet long and contains only one word. C. W.

DECEMBER The editorial article in the Star 'this morning, on the Blair bill, is unworthy of the pen which wrote it. Premising that "the Blair bill will pass both House3of Congress by a very large majority," it closes the first paragraph with the assertion ihat Vine application of the well known rules of interpreta tion and construction of language to this clause (of the constitution) destroys all pretence even tor robbing the Treasury of eighty cr ninety million dollars." And we will add that '-the application of the well-known rulc3 of interpreta tion -and construction of lananaee" Diaces lha Slar in the ment of charging robbery of the public treasury upon all of the distinguiahad gentlemen" in Congress who may have voted or who may jet vote for the bill, As for the constitutionally ot the bill, has the Star forgotten that no longer ago than last Winter it persistently urg. ed upon the Legislature of North Caro lina to pass a bill which was in direct contravention of one of the roost clear ly enunciated clauses of the State con stitution? And decs it follow, as a matter of course, that it knows as much about tho Federal t constitution as it doe3 about that of the State? We purpose to demonstrate and we think that we can do so very clearly, that the premiss of the Star in regard to the unconstitutionality of the measure is totally incorrect. Section 8 of the constitution says: The Congress shall have power to levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and pro vide for the common defense and gen eral welfare of tho United States. This is very plain, but it there is any doubt whatever of the classification of the Blair bill, whether or not it is con ducive to the "general welfare." it seems to us that the decision must res1 with the Supreme Court of the United States and not in the hands of the pro vincial press. There are many learned and eminent lawyers and jurists in Congress who have already passed upon the merits of the bill and its consti tutionality and we may safely rest as sured that there is no imperfection of that natureabout it. We are told tba the Legislature of Virginia have unan mousry endorsed the bill and surely the Legislature of Virginia is not made up altogether this year of clodhoppers and ignoramuses. And now as for precedents. We need not go very far to find them. There is just 3 much constitutional authority for voting money to educate the people as there is for voting it for river and harbor improvements; for paving out hundreds of millions in pensions; for the erection and maintenance ot hospitals for seamen (which is really class legislation); for supporting the signal service; for estab lishing and supplying light houses and life saving stations and for perhaps hundreds of other things which we cannot recall now. There i3 just as much authority for oue as for the other and just-as much for the Blair bill as for all put together. And yet, we have never seen any objections in the Star towards an appropriation for the Cape Fear river and bar, nor have those who have labored so valiantly in times past for the beueQt of those works been charged with an attempt to "rob the Treasury. Th conclusion, let us say that the money is the people's and to the people it should revert at their own will. In this instance they have concluded to spend it for a wise and beneficent pur pose, and in an almost holy cause, the education of the masses. We can trust the Democrats in the Senate and in the House to see that the machinery pro vided for its disbursement is wise and patriotfc and conservative. Keep sweet your breath if maid or wife.

French & Sou have introduced a new feature in their shoe establishment on North Front street. The cashier's office has been removed from the front to the rear of the build ing, and to facilitate the making of change, what is known as the ''Osgood Cash Car System" has been introduced. It is a simple contrivance by 'which the money, when placed in its proper re ceptacle, is carried upon a wire to the cashier where the change is made and the balance returned to the station from which it was sent. It is an inex pensivo arrangement and is a great; convenience. Peraouai. Mr. P. L. Bridgers, of this city, was in Raleigh yesterday. Mr. W. A.
