It has boeu bugfjestcil that, since tho city tuts not yet decided ?s to what dispo sitiou it Hliall muko ot the Railroad Btrip, it Hhould build a new jail and city hall upon it, fronting some street. Tito lower portion of tho building mit;ht be used for tho con- tlnonicut of criminals with tho neceary yard in tho rear for working them, and thn upper stories might servo as a city hall and as offices for tho various city oflicea. It may bo that this suggestion, it carried out in connection with alderman Bluke's resolution, would meet the approbation of our citizens generally. Tho following programme was carried out m the high school room yesterday after noon by the scholars, and furnished excel lent entertainment for the audience. Tho exercises were opened with songs by the entire school, and then continued as follows : Composition, entitled "Pation Play," Miss Mamie ;IIall!day; composition, entitled ''Leather," Miss Nettie Caster; composition on"Wire," Miss Minnie JJreiktch; composi tion on "Ancient Traveliag," Miss Mary Johnson; declamation, Miss Alice Henderson ; composition, entitled "Dreams of the Season," Miss Ellen Cloadfelter; composition, entitled "Small beginnings make great endings," Miss Grace Hawkins; historical question "French and German war," Miss Mollie Duttich; historical question "Battle of Lexington,"'! hos. Halliday Jr; historical question Miss Josie DcRussey; historical question Miss Phillis Howard; composi tion on "Poetry," Miss Amanda Fields; composition entitled "Illinois," Miss Louisa Keohler; declamation entitled "Higher," Mathias Kelly; declamation James Gal ligan; composition on "Happiness," Miss Addie Antrim; composition on "Skates,,' Charles E. Feuchter, Jr. At this juncture a number of soncs were sung by the entire school, after which Mr. Goldstine, being present, spoke a few well' chosen words, which were attentively listened to, and which closed the entertainment for ' the day. The Young People's Temperance As sociation held their regular meeting at Temperance ball last night. Tho audience was select and quite large, and the club was fully prepared to entertain them well. The platform was enclosed by a heavy cur tain, composed of maroon colored cotton flannel and trimmed in scarlet, which had the appearance of heavy velvet. Alter the regular business was disposed ot, tho litera ry exercises were opened with a sketch of the Ufa of Lougfelbw by Miss Lizzie Wood, which was well read. Following this was an ode "Let the lower lights be burning." A selection "Tho old man's dream" was read by Miss Nellie McGahey, which was finely rendered, A song, entitled "The drinking song," by Miss Lydia Pitcher, Miss Fannie Pitcher, at the organ, came next and then followed the charade, which was in three acts and represented two sylables (tho word being "plaintive"). The actors were Messrs. Elmer Comings, Eugene Ellis, Will Williamson and Misses Maud Rittenhousc, Musa Green and Frankie Rcxford. The club will give a holiday entertainment soon, the committee to make tho arrangements for the entertain ment has already been appointed, and is composed ot the executive committco of the association and of Misses Fannie Barclay, Eva Sheppard, Emm Lcland and Mr. Geo. Fisher. Hereatter tho club will hold meetings every alternate Thursday evening. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. A coroner's inquest over the remains of Moses Justus, was yesterday forenoon held in the Arab engine house. Tho testimony disproved the statements of soino of Glenn's friends that he (Glenn) had been knocked down and beaten before using his knife, and showed that the murder was commit ted entirely without causo. Dr. Petrie. who examined tho woumlu testified that death had resulted irom a wound iflicted in tho back which being probed was tound to extend to tho heart. The prisoner was committed without bail, v Tho following is the vordictof the jury: "Wo, tho undersigned jurors, sworn to en quiro of tho death of Moses Justus, from evidence on oath, do find that ho catno to his doath from wounds iuflictod with a knife in tho hands of Anderson Glenn. That wo deem the killing to bo murder. ,Wii. McIIalb, Foreman. ''' It. J. Foley, Hendkiison, Downing, Feruenand KoKni.Eit, Ciias. Hewitt, P. Mocklku. Kor the Nultettn. "MATRIMONIAL." To tho Young Ladles of Ai.ua: Giuls I have just perusod your matri monial effusion in this morning's Bulletin. As I was enumerated in tho list of beue dicta in search of tho myth of "connubial felicity," I propose to givo you my viows ns adduced from your article, You have kindly drawn for mo a pen picture of your self physiologically, un atomic ally and mor phologically; and have stated also your ideas of what you wish in return. "Your faces aro beaming, your visages bright" so far so good. We think we have seen one of these in a bric-a-brac collection. It was quite unique. Intellectual and your cranial contents "all right," "of course." We will not discuss that question, for "By thoir fruits ye shall know them." Wo also have quite a variety of visuul organs to select from, and as we are "color blind," that is ot no consequence. Girls, we are sorry that Anua is suffering from an epi demic of Grecian noses. Your olfactory Climents must bo very acute. Emigrate hero aud you will not be troubled with 'telephone cigars." Ar.d you are not "built for squeezing." Wo must say that morphologically you have been sadly neg lected. But still there is hope. Perhaps Madame Foy could aid you. Wo can not discuss this question very effectually on paper; would "embrace tho opportunity" to interchange views. We aro not an ad mirer of the American construction of the external and internal maleolar processes. The French suits our taste. We arc glad to learn that you construct your own habiliments and are versed in the "culinary arts." We would suggest that you also be como an adept in the procedure of irritat ing linen on corrugated surface in common parlance known as "wash ing." Ye state you can wield the "flat-iron." These two accomplishments might bo of great service to you should you be uufor tuuate enough to procure ono ot our nuuv uers. l no luca ot weiluing women s weapon strikes us very forcibly. From your statement you aro well supplied with aesthetical accomplishments. So nice to bo able to sihg, "There's no placo like home," while "drawing" wa ter or sawing wood, and other light house hold duties. In regard to your eyes, that is a sacred question with us, as it is beyond the scope of human mind to form any hypothesis ia regard to it from apparently conclusive data nearer than "between sweet seventeen and four score." So you have a fondness for intelligent men? Most people generally admire rare objects. "You are enough for us all ;" well, perhaps, more so. We ore afraid you will not have the op portuuity of bending your will, unless you setid out another Poler expedition. Then, perhaps, the object of your desires will bo tounu among tuc numerous curiosities found. We are glad to learn that "the old folks" are nice. Many thanks, girls, but we have no desire to enter into a matri monial alliance with the whole family Wit won't procure beefsteak moro than once or twice, unless the butchcrshops are numerous and the proprietors have a large stock of faith in humau nature. "Now, in return for your good qualities," "you wish not for wealth." Now, that ob viates tho principal difficulty. It you are content to subsist on the "tender passion," and that as a source of nutrition, we t'jink there is some hope for you. That is a good summer diet, easily accumulated, and a non-provoker of dispepsia. But as for ourself, we would be afraid to go beyond the limit set by Dr. Tanner. In regard to strong, honest men, with tho other divine qualities, you wish, wo are afraid, wo cannot fill your order as tho de mand is far greater than the supply. They are quoted very high, and this country is several years behind in her orders. Now in regard to tho symotrical pedal extremi ties nearly ever variety is found among us But the parenthetical (), and Hogarth's lines of beauty seem to predominate. There also seems to bo a sad lack ot adipose tissue. You are right on tho hair question, color is no1, sought for. Length and tenac ity aro the main qualities that Bhould in terest you. As you havo no choice in olfactory organs wo will not comment. And you wish an organism endowed with a "large mouth," a cavern as it were. So as to be able to "swallow you whole." Now, girls, wo think that is carrying ausculatorv gymnosticstoo far. And we don't think tho nervous membrane of our digestive organ would stand the proceedure. If this gastronomic phenomena could be rccip- procated it would be "too awfully splon did" to swallow each other. How testheti- cal, how romantic 1 The idea of you wending your way down our Oesophogus, nearly tickles us to doath. Too nico to be wrapped up in each other as it were. What a nice pastime to swallow you, and just think what a nice time you would have combatting tho solvent action of tho gastric juice. So crlrls after mature deliberation, wo think that wo would not suit each other ac cording to your present viows. Wo nro sorry that wo can't answer tho requirements. If you should ever change your views lot us hear from you. Yours, disappointedly, One of 'Em.

Representative Kelley of Pennsylvania has prepared a substitute for tho refund ing bill now pending before congress. It provides that tho secretary of the. treasury shall be authorized to issua notes in tho amount of $400,000,000 of denominctions not less than $10, bear ing interest at a rato not exceeding 3 per cent, per annum, redeemable at tho pleasure of the United States after ono year and payable in ten years from date of issue, but not more of said notes shall be redeemed in any one fiscal yoar than the amount of tho sinking-fund for that year, and tho parti cular notes to bo redeemed from time to time shall be determined by lot under such rules as tho secretary of tho trcasvry shall prescribe This will be offered by Itepre- presontativo Kelly as a substitute whenever tho Wood refunding bill is called up. MR. KELLEY'S KErBAL BILL. A majority of tho ways and means com mittee favor the bill introduced to-day by Judgo Kelley repealing the tax on bank; checks, medicine, friction matches, bank capital and bank deposits. It looks at though it would be favorably reported and passed. GRANT. Mombrrs of both houses uuite in faying that nothing will bo done with the bill put ting Grant on tho retired list as general. Tho democrats say some such bill might live passed last sesslou, but recent occur rences make tho proposed bencficinry noth ing but a republican place hnntcr.
