Lord Tennyson is a spiritualist aftef a fashion.

Ihe Chicago Tribune gets even on the Harrison orowd in this way: Two large processions encountered eaoh other on the publio highway near Indianapolis. "Let us pass," said the leader of one, "we are the man that first nominated Harrison for' President." "Wo have the right of way," haughtily replied the leader of the other procession. "We are the man that went to school with him when we were a boy 1" And the shock of the collision shook the earth and broke all the windows for miles around. The Toronto Mail makes the following appropriate remarks: If the decision in the crossing ease should be against Manitoba, the Legislature of that Province will no doubt adopt a series of resolutions calling for joint action on the part of all the provinces, which will in effect be deprived of the power of building railways, It is understood that most of the other provinces are prepared to take immediate action through their respective legislatures upon any oall or recommendation that may emanate from Manitoba, Unquestionably her ease is their SILLY BUTTERWORTH Introduces a Resolution in Con to provide for the Annex* ation of Canada.

Later experiments with the phonograph, says an exchange, are making yet clearer the limitless possibilities of the invention. The instrument is so sensitive that a gasp or a yawn is faithfully recorded upon the yielding wax, and it is said that by its means the breathing of a healthy man from that of a consumptive could be distinguished. Another rumor from recent inspection is that kisses may be reproduced with a startling exactness. Plainly the phonograph is going to invade privaoy of life to an extent never dreamed of, and the fierce light whioh beats upon a throne is going to penetrate the retirement of the humblest citizen. £*S 5* i Loweniwi Harris .-se oo.

"Publio Opinion" has an article in another column to which we would call special attention at this particular time. It deals with a subject which must and should engross a large share of public attention in this oity for the next few weeks—that of the forthcoming civio election and the constitution ol our municipal council for the ensuing year. We have lost no opportunity of urging this important matter upon tho notico of tlio electors well beforehand, so that no unseemly hurrying and consequent mistakes should result in choosing the controllers of the city's destiny for the coming year. So far an unexceptionable choice has been made for mayor,, which it is certain the peoplo will ratify; but no names have yet been mentioned to till the nine aldermen's chain. According to the new city charter, the nomination for mayor and aldermen at the fint civic election shall be held on the fint Monday in January, which happens to be the 7th of that month, and the polling, if any, on the following Monday, the 14th. So we have just got until the 7th of January—a trifle over three weeks—to bring out candidates, hear their views, consult with them on matters pertaining to the oity's welfare, and nominate the men who, after careful consideration, shall be deemed the most safe and worthy in every respect to take the helm in civio affairs for 1889. "Publio Opinion" suggests a number of names, from whom we should imagine a good ticket might be chosen, although we can hardly agree with him that the choice should be made at hazard, or on grab-bag rules, even if the names mentioned do appear equally eligible. There must be some choice oven among the list given by Public Opinion ; and then there may be other names suggested. Trot them out. Everyone knows the old adage whioh runs something like this: "A fool may nsk questions which a philosopher eannot answer." We have no intention of posing as the - thiUaasjha. am iU. __*., ._i utll less intention of calling our correspondent, "Justice," a fool, because, in the first place, it wouldn't bo gentlemanly, you know, and, then, our correspondent happens to be a considerably older and much bigger man than ourselves. With due deference to "Justice," however, wo must characterize his questions, one and all, as extremely folish, under tho circumstances—not one of them io much as touching upon the subject of the injunction—while they confirm our previous suspicions, which have been shared by others, as to the real motives and object of the in junctors, constituting a complete expose of these, and placing the small clique of obstructionists in their tree light—not an enviable one, it mutt be confessed, Every One knows that the injunction was procured ostensibly to restrain the eity oouncil from making ovor tho debentures to the debenture trust committee. To be more explicit, the injunction was aimed to prevent the carrying into effect of the following resolution of the connoil, passed with but ono dissenting voice, that of Alderman Herring, at the regular weekly meeting on Nov. Sth last: Moved by Aid. Shiles and seconded by Aid. Calbick and resolved: That the mayor is hereby authorized to issue the d.Mnturca under tho "ferry service by- • law" and "workshops and foundry bylaw" and negotiate the samo for the best Wioe that can be obtained to the satisfaction of the finance committee, and that th. proceed, thereof, not exceeding 1160,009, bo deposited in the Bank of British Colnmbla to the credit of Ju. Cunningham, It. Dickinson, T, Ovens, B. Douglu, A. Kwen, J. Hendry, D, 8 Curtis, A. M. Herring and H. Elliott (conatituting the dobontorea truat), to be paid oat only upon their written order; and that tbe surplus realized by tho sale efalcb debentures, if any, be paid Into the oity treasury. Our readers will remember that, a few days afterwards, on Nov. 14th, at a crowded public meeting of the ratepayers and others, called on the requisition of the present injunction clique, a resolution was introduced by that clique, condemning the above resolution of the counoil and asking that it be reconsidered and rescinded, On tlie ground that it was Illegal. The meeting, on the contrary, passed the following resolution, enthusiastically and practically unanimously: Moved by Thoa. Cunningham, seconded by J.G. Jamie, and resolved: That this meeting heartily endoreses tho action of the S.W Westminster municipal council In relation to Southern Railway aSilr. end considers that said counoil is tmerttnt of credit for the able and care* ful manner hi which it hu conducted this taporteul enterprise. Notwilhsoanding this signal rebuke, th. uaall rjiqne referred to actually uadsrtooh—» great wai their anxiety touching the legality of the coatlsel's action, and so large was their interest in the issue, compared with that of the great majority of tkif*Jbw-to«iisinsB(!)-tosneakoff til viotoria and procure an Injunc tion for the purposes defined above, on an ex parte statement, from a Victoria jndgo; thus plunging tho city into needless cost (for they also worked in slyly with their injunction an application to quash tho "workshops by-law"), and stulifying and injuring their fellow-citizens by shattering, for the time being, the public and business confidence in the good faith and credit of the oity; and all, as they pretended, because they were not satisfied as to the technical legality of the council's action on a point of detail. It has been becoming more apparent, however, every day that the ostensible purpose of the injunction was merely a blind to cover the reafinotives and object of the injunotors—hostility to the entile schemejind a doliberato attempt to embarrass the oity so that it should be compelled to repudiate all its obligations in the matter obligations assumed by our city counoil and affirmed and confirmed, in good faith, and so received by the railway oompany, by a majority of 266 of the ratepayers, voting on tho 7th of August last on the two debentures by-laws. But, if any doubt remained that the utter overthrow and repudiation of the present Southern Railway scheme was the real and ultimate object aimed at by the clique of injunctors, it has been completely dissipated by tho clean breast wlilcfi our correspondent, "Justice" made of tbe matter yesterday, He appears, indeed, to be utterly unconscious of the fact that the questions he asks do not refer to the ostensible injunction at nil, but, if they have any place under the sun, belong to the period whon the Southern Railway matter was being discussed, .prior to the vote on the matter by the ratepayers. From a vory cursory perusal of the communication in question last night, owing to lack of time aftor it reached this office, we hinted that we should take np the various questions of onr correspondent in their order. For reasons which should now be obvious, but which we shall repeat, wo have not done so. In the fint place, whioh is a sufficient reason in itself, the question of reconsidering the action of the city council and the nearly unanimous vote of the ratepayers in August last is not a live one—it is noither before the publio nor tho courts, and is never likely to be. In the second placo, supposing that such were the case, there is only one question out of the six that merits the ghost of an nnswer, and we venture to say that our correspondent would not have put even that solitary gem in the philosopher-defying style in whioh it was couohed, if he had taken the trouble to get a more thorough grasp of the whole subject beforehand. The remaining five questions, as any unbiased reader,of The Columbian yesterday may see for himself, are either very weak beggings of tbe question, libellous inuendoos, irrelevant, or beside the issue. The effect of the communication itself, as we have intimated before, is to tear the mask completely from the injunction scheme, fore our citizens. We do not believe that the injunotors themselves will feel grateful to "Justice" for thus exposing them. With this new and strong side light on the subject, it becomes more important than ever that the injunotion should be dissolved and the scheme defeated, as success in their bold, and yet dastardly attempt at embarrassment and repudiation would not only mean disaster, but disgrace. If the injunctors should succeed, which heaven forend, we dare not answer for the rise in eiderdown mattresses and asphaltum. NEW WESTMINSTER ' BUILDiNGSOCIETY. AGENKHAL MEETING WIU.

" Tho strangest experience I Over had," said tho old sergeant, waa n: old Fort William, on Governor's ly. and, In New York harbor, ovor twenty years ngo. " I was a sorgoant at tho time, married, and, with my young wifo lnul boon living tn a small houso on the lower ond of the island, but the coin, mantling officer concluded to tear ii. down, and I was told to select the best rooms of tho non-commisslonoi! unicorn' quarters In tho then unoccupied fort. "What with my usual military duties and the fatigue of moving and placing things to rights, I was pretty woll tired out whou night came, and slept like a log. "My wifo was worn out, too, but did not sloop so sound as not to lie disturbed cvory night by what slie called ■ tlie funniest nolsea that sourW- ed Just liko thunder,' but I paid but little attention to her thinking it wn- only tho nolao of passing steamboat-- or tho wash of the waters on tlie shore, " It might havo been two weoks nf. tor I had settlod down that ono night I awoke suddenly from a sound sleep with that peculiar fooling of droail or uiioiislneas upon mo which arises Ire::-. an unknown cause and has boon experienced by nearly all of us. •"John, do you hear It now!" ashuil my wife whon sho discovered I was awake; ' It sounds like somo persons at work below.' " LiMtening for a abort tints. I ror. Offnlzo.1 familiar sounds, and had In,.' been positive that tho doors were ioiPked, with tho keys hanging on r. nail lu my room, I would havo swor.-i Unit tlio batterlos were manned by experienced gunners. " The quick tread df tho mon a- thoy dragged the guns ln, tho ring of the rammer, the handling of the shot that lay piled ln readiness for uso, thn return of the Iron wheels over the rails as It was run out of tho piirt, woro perfect in every detail, only limiting tho words of command and tho report of tho piece to complete tlie Illusion. " As I listened the uproar Increased In volume until tt was Impossible for us to hoar oach other's voices without raising thorn to a high pltoh. "Tho guns woro served with what r.eomod incredible rapidity, and the vory walls, masslvo as they were, trembled under the heavy artillery In continual motion, while the balls wero rolling from ono end of the casements to tho other, striking tho sides with hoavy thuds. " Unable to stand this state of affairs any longer, I arose;' and, lighting iny lantern, took tho keys along with a loaded revolver, and, descending the stairs as lightly as possible, reached the.door. The noise at.this point was, If anything, more deafening than when I left my room. " Cautiously Inserting tho key Into the lock, I cooked my six-shooter, am' throwing tho door opon suddenly, will, raised lantern and weapon presented, entered tlio noarost casement to. Hnd It' unoccupied save by the grim old gun and the shot stacked ln their usual places. " It wns the samo ln every battery I entered. Not n footprint disturbed the thick dust upon tho floor, nor waa thero a linger mark upon either the gun or tho shot. Tho tomplons were In placo, and no carriage had traveled ovor tho rusty rails. " Confounded ovon still more than I was beforo, I roturnod to my room, nnd was disturbed no moro that night. The ruckot, howevor, was commenced tho following night, and was kept up, with slight; Intermission, for a month. Hy account of this singular disturbance was met with Jests and laughter from my follow soldiers, which they modlflod, It Is truo, whon I corroborated it by my wife, but then only so far as to declaro that it was S'Sohemo on our part to got removed from uncomfortable quarters to ono of tho new quarters then about completed. "Nettled at their taunts, I vowod that If ever the noises commenced I would have other witnesses to them, and I did not have long to watt, for about ono month after Twos awakened by the phantom gunners. "This timo I passed out ovor tbo drawbridge and, going to the men's quarters, awakened a sergeant by the name of Smith, and much against his will mad. blm accompany ma to the ~~*ie. After standing listening to tho racket until Smith's face was as white as a sheet and he was trembling from head to toot, I threw open the'door. ''Smith always declared that for a moment bo saw tho ghostly crow at their places, but could detect nothing, nor could I over discover any eauso for the disturbance, although I often was awakened by the nightly thill of my Invlalblo artilleryman. " Some months after leaving the island I learned that during tho Mexican war an artillery oompany drilled with these guns some time before thoy left for Mexico, and that tbey wero nearly all killed In battle. I suppose tt must have been a freak of theirs to have the|r reunions In these casements and practice with (heir old friends, the guns."—[Minneapolis Tribune. ai. i, now to Hraiuj. t'Jtitn, Fin requires sir; therefore, on Its appearance every effort should bo mode to exclude sir, shut all doors sad windows.

In a room a tablecloth can be so used aa to ■mother a largo sheet ol flame, and a cushion may serve to boat it out; a coat or anything similar may bo used with sn equally successful result The great.point is presence of mind,.. calmness in danger, action guided by reason and thought Inall large houses buckets ol water should be placed on iverv landing, a little salt being put into tho water. Always endeavor to attack tho bed of a lire; If you cannot extin- ,'iiish a fin, shut the window, and bo aure to shut the door when making good yonr retreat. A wet silk handkerchief tied over the eyes and nose will make breathing i«Jssibla in the midst of much smoke, und a blanket wetted and wrapped around the body will enable a poirsoii to liana through a sheet ol flame in couipar- iitivo safety. Should a lady's dress catch lire, lot tho weawr at once Uo down: rolling may extmgutslf the fln, but If not, anything woolen preferred, wrappei Itigtitly around will effect the desired pur-. pose. . ►—, ' .

It is rumored four of Victoria's lady ichool teachers will marry before the Christinas Holidays are over. Well done, ladieal Leap year did not come in vain. It Is expected'the s. s. Islander and Olympian will run a wco to Fort Townsend to test the speed of both vessels. The race ought to be an exciting one. One case of small-pox was discovered at Port Townsend Sunday uivht. The })-itient hod been employed as a dockland on the steamer Edith and was around town three days before discovered. Fully 76 couples wore present last night at the Oddfellow's assembly and a most enjoyable time was ipent. The music was good, whioh indueed the dancers to linger ovor the mazy waltz an hour longer than the programme announced, ■ •=., Thehailging'bfSinecjua, who murdered a hoy named Moise on the west coast of Vancouver Island, by choking him to death, took place at Nanaimo yesterday morning. The murderer teemed perfectly indifferent to hia fate and died without a struggle. Eleven fat, stray, tame ducks have been found taking a sail on their own account em the noble Fraser, and lure bfh'u taken to temporary quarters to Andrew Wilson's, at Katsey. near Maple Ridge. The finder, on Indian, advertises them in this paper. The barometer registered 29.39 today, the lowest it has reached this 3 ear. Capt. Peele Bays this reading should bring about a terrible storm, though, strange to say, there is no immediate sign of one. The thermometer stood 50" in the shade to-day—not bad for December 13th, Mr Thos. Draper, agent for the E. T. William's British Columbia Di- rectory for 1889, arrived in tho city to day, and expects to be engaged here ior about three weeks canvassing for ttie directory. Mr. Draper says the new directory will be about three times the thickness of the last one, issued in 1887. •Tlie tug Swan, arrived down from fiflrer Creek last night with a scow load of curd* wood in tow. A large quantity of hard wood waa got out on Silver Creek during the past summer and will be brought to the city for salo from time to timo ai tho market demands. The wood is of excellent quality. The sidewalk at Iho corner of Douglas and Columbia streets was befng repaired today. Tho council should positively insist tliat when tbe sidewalks sre disturbed by building operations thoy should bo replaced without any unnecesiary delay. The loss to merchants whose customenare forced to take tbe opposite side of the street or wade through the mud has been considerable through these obstructions to traffic. Tbe Houdyville Saw Mill will, it is learned, shut down as soon as the barque Darra has finished loading, and will be almost built anew. What tho Erecise alterations and additions will e has not yet been given out, but it is known that the improvements will be vera extensive. New msehinery, it is understood, will be put in and the main buildings will all be renovated to aa «o make it practically a new mill and by far tho largeit in the province. —Vancouver World. The achr. Therats, Oapt Oban, arrived at Victoria lait night from the Qwm JJ-wlotte Mgnds cod banks with 8,000 fish. The cod were caught about 6 miles from the shore.

The foot-ball matoh to take place on Saturdry between the Westminister and Vancouver Juniors ia exciting considerable intorest in both cities. Un fortunately for both clubs their membership is so small that it haa been necessary to draw on a few of the first team to make up the full number of players. The following team has been selected to represent Westminster: Clute, Hamber, Coulthard, Aikman, Pittendrigh, Mowat, Peele, Greame, McMartin, P. Peele, Black, Whiteside, and Port. Tuesday we printed an item saying that word had been received indirectly that R. A. Fraser, son of Mr. James Fraser, of this city, had met his death in a railroad accident near San Antonio, Texas. We discredited the report somewhat at the time, and are glad to say that it has since turned out to have been false. On receipt of the bad news, a member of the family here telegraphed to the superintendent of the road on which Mr. Fraser has been employed, and received a reply to-day stating that there was no ground for the report and that Fraser was all right. . Waylaid aad Kobbed. A Chinaman who acts as collector nnd paymaster ior Wing Chung, a merchant on Fiagard street, was found lying near tho - track oi Ao E. & V.. railway about three miles from the summit, on Monday morning, by a section foreman. The Chainaman was in an insensible condition and had a sevoro wound in hia head. He waa brought to the oity, and when restored to consciousness he stated that he had been attacked by an Indian, who beat and robbed him, He iB in a precari- ious condition, and hia friends believe ho is possessed of an evil spirit.—■ Colonist. —— *'■»»•» From the Squamlsh. The small-pox epidemic on the Squa- miah has almost run its course, and only two patients are now suffering from the disease. Since the outbreak four deaths have occurred, whioh, considering the absence of a regular medical attendant, is a much less number than might have been expected. A fresh supply of medicines and provisions has been sont over to tl.a Squamish and orders given to maintain the strictest quarantine. Before the quarantine on Seymour Creek was raised, all the bedding, blankets and clothes belonging to the Indians were burned and a new outfit supplied them. Thero were uo deaths ou Seymour Oreek, •>■-**■» Salvation Indians* , The Port Simpson Indians aro nothing if not enterprising and progressive. A correspondent of the Standard writes: "A number, twelve or so, have formed a band, calling themselves the Salvation Army, parade the streets every night, singing and praying. They use a house called their barracks. On the night of Monday December 3rd they kept their noise up till 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning..This so disturbed tho slumbers of the neighbors that the*/ got up and ordered them off. Refusing to do so a tight was the outcome, in wuioh it appears the saints militant had the worst of it." The Army will probably be sending a detachment shortly to do missionary work in the swamp, — *~««* A Karlkera Venture, Tho sloop Venture, will it is expected, leave to-day for her fishing grounds in Qneen Oharlotto Sound, and her owners look forward to a successful expedition. She has been manned and fitted out, in the opinion of old seamen, in a complex manner. The Venture is commanded by Capt. Os- grom, a Norwegian, aaid to be an experienced and thoroughly competent seaman, aod an old deep-sea fisher. The ere * is composed of Norwegian and Scotch fishermen. She is supplied with 10,000 hooks and her catch ■will \\yi principally black cod and halibut. Her gross tonnage is 74 tons and her registered tonnage 48 tons. To all appearances she is a well constructed and sea-worthy craft. Everybody wishes her success.— News Advertiser. A tbl Daman Ian Over. At 15 minutes to 4 o'clock this afternoon, while the local train was shunting, a Chinaman passing along tho narrow passage leading between the track and railing towards tbe depot from the corner of Douglas street, by some accident slipped and fell under tho wheels of the engine. The left leg was almost; completely levered close to the trunk, and a few bad bruises inflicted besides. Senator Mclnnes, who was passing at the time and saw the accident, immediately went to the poor creature's rescue and succeeded in stopping'tbo flow of blood in time to save his life. The injured man was sent to the Royal Columbian Hospital for treatment. Just on going to press, we wore informed that the unfortunate Chinaman had succumbed to his terrible injury and died since being taken to the hospital. Mayor Dickinson has handed tbe caie over to Coroner Ferris, and sn inquest will be held to-morrow to ascertain if the railway authorities are culpable. Sialic Futaaw. Katie Putnam is without doubt tho best known and most popular soubrctte on the American stage. She has a style of acting peculiar to herself and is over fresh and buoyant, with a sincerity that never fails to hold hor audience under the sway of her remarkable powers. The following pretty compliment was paid her by tne Charleston News and Courier: "For twenty years back we have seen the most noted actresses of Miss Putnam's school, and all schools approximating to it, and we have passed that time of life when youthful enthusiasm would run so mad with the beauty of a woman or permit us to fall in love with hor for the character ahe personates. We therefore feci justified in speaking earnestly of Mias Putnam as an artiste. She cannot be excelled in her particular roles. We are utterly unablo to do her justice. She must be seen to be appreciated. She also has the most creditable support of any of the companies that have visited Us this season, ->'i*» *> One trial of Mother Craves' Worm Exterminator will convince you that It has no equal as a worm mediolne. Bay ft bottle-and see if itdoei not please you, Stolen Ceese. Mrs. Samuel Herring, who lives a short distance above Brownsville, and wbo is credited with owning tlie finest flock of geese in the province, had the misfortune to lose 29 fine plump birds last week. As the geese wero not in tho habit of srtaying far from home Mrs. Herring concluded that they had been stolon, and her suspicions turned towards the Indians on the Musquim reservation at the mouth of the uorth arm of the Fraser. A search warrant was obtained and an officer was despatched to the reservation to find the birds if -possible. After visiting a few cabins without discovering any clue, the shanty occupied by Charlie Mo- Shane and Johnny, both Indians, was entered, and enquiries made as to the missing geese. While they were earnestly protesting tbat they knew nothing whatever about the matter, a great cackling was .heard apparently from beneath tho cabin, A couple of boards were immediately lifted up, and strange to aay two of the missing birds were found stowed away in rather limited quarters. Both Indi ins were arrested and brought to Westminster to explain to the court how they wore so careless as to allow stolen geese to mako a home under their cabin. PERSONAL. Sheriff Armstrong paid Vancouver a visit to-day. Mra. E. J. Miller left for Viotoria this morning. il. L. DeBeck went over to the terminal city this mornim- on u business visit Richard Mounce, of the firm of Mounce Bros., left for the east yesterday to visit his friends in Nova Scotia. J. M. Blakie, of this city, leaves tomorrow by the Atlantic express on a visit to his old home in Nova Scotia, after an absence of several years spent on this coast. He expects to be away about six weeks and intends returning by a southern route, It is just possible he may "annex" a sparo rib before he returns. Jabcsh Snow, Gunning Cove, N. S., writes: "I was completely prostrated with the asthma, but hearing of Dr. Thomas Eclectric OU. I procured a bottle, and it has done me so much good tbat I got another, and before it was used, I was well. My son was cured of a bad cold by the use of half a bottle. It goea like wild-fire, and makes cures wherever it is used." PUBLIO OPINION vrnnts to gee the ran Benin, and Actually has the Aadaelly te Propose a Fall Ticket and Some to Spare. It is about time, in view of the approaching civic elections, that the ratepayers should know who are the gentlemen desirous of sitting in tho counoil, and what aro their views, so that when the time comes they may not have to "act in haste and repent at leisure." It is due to the ratepayers to know who aspires to civic honors, as, if elected, these men will have the handling and disposal of the citizens' money, and it will give thoae who. want to do so time to enquire aa tdfcheirquiilifiea. tions, and consider as to their fitness for the important f unotions they have to discharge. Now that we have connection with the eastern provinces, thero will be representatives from the various government departments frequently visiting the city, and they will need to bo met by those conversant with the matters requiring government aid and adjustment in the city and the country tributary to it. There will be financiers wishing to augment our industries or create new ones. These business men must be met in a thorough business-like manner and their enterprise and energy fostered rather than crushed. -The opppijtion to our getting rail connection with systems south of the boundary must be met with a solid front, made up of men whose interests in the oity will brook no opposition. In short, our next council must bo composed of those who will stand shoulder to shoulder to carry out the already expressed wishes of the people, which will go to making tho city's commercial .importance felt amongst her sister cities of the coast, as well as across the continent to the Atlantic seaboard. Public Opinion suggests the names of a number of gentlemen whose mercantile interests and ability would assure to the citizens the certainty that, while looking to every chance of advancement of the city's welfare, thoy would handle the city's finances with care and caution. They arc: Messrs. B. Douglas, D. S. Curtis, E. S. Scni-lar, Thos. Cunningham, H. Elliott, .Tno. Piid, H. Hoy, W. Wolfende-i, J. G, Jaijues, Alex. Ewen, B. Shibi, D. DrysdaU- Jns. Harvey, and A. M. Herring. Still othen might bo mentioned, but Publio Opinion thinks that, of the fourteeu gentlemen mentioned, nine first-olaas aldermen might be picked—even if the names wero all shaken op together in a hat and drawn out by a blindfold buy. Public Opinion would like to see a requisition got out to a full ticket of aldermen, picked from the above list, or others that may be suggested for the various wards, so that wo may hear the views of candidates at an early date, and make our choice before polling day is upon us. Pdbwc Opinion. Fagged Oh'.—None but those who have becomo fagged out, know what a depressed, miserable feeling it Is, AU strength is gone, and despondency has taken hold of the suffererers.
