One of the considerations which the City Council will have In mtaf In granting any' franchise to a railroad company for a line through Front street will be the protection of the ap proaches to the river on Broa^ and Commerce streets, If on no others. The .time Is ’coming—it may be a matter of but a short time, or It may be one of years—when Flint river will give to Albany much lower freight rates than she now enjoys. These lower rates will come when a regular line of steamboats begins plying be tween this city and the Gulf of Mex-. ico. With the river at her door, Al bany throws away thousands of dollarB in freight, rates and loses hundreds of thousands of ddllars in trade every year by falling to utilize it as a means to an end greatly to be desired. With the city’s Increased size and Impor tance, It Is Inconceivable that. she should much longer neglect the oppor tunity which the river brings to her FOR RENT—New cottage, Just com pleted, on Residence street Apply to Mrs. F.

CIRCULAR NO. 321. Storage Rule No. 10. Storage Rule No. 10 is hereby amended by striking the third para graph of said rule and substituting in lieu thereof the following: “The basis for any claim filed for a non-complianceswith this rule shall be, in cases where the shipper specifies the routing, the actual route indicated by the, shipper, and where no routing is specified by the shipper, then the route usually used by the railroad' Companies at interest.” In passing through Flint street, the railroads desiring to secure certain grants from the city will construct a tunnel and make cuts of considerable depth. On account of the future of the river traffic, and its inestimable benefits to Albany, the city authori ties will be careful not to have the ap proaches to the river jeopardized, the two principal approaches being through Broad and Commerce streets. The franchises desired by the A. & N. and G. *N. roads will probably be considered by the City Council at its next regular meeting, which may be held Monday night.

As is nearly always the case, a number of growers have reported ripe melons on the same day, which is not surpris ing. In the district around Albany, cantaloupes are planted by all the growers at the same time; the man ner of cultivation Is almost Identical, and all fields are favored by about the same conditions of rain and weather. Therefore, the honor of getting the first ripe oantles to the market Is apt to be shared by a number of growers. There can no longer be any. doubt, however, ttiat the first shipments wjll be made from Albany on Monday. There will be a sufficient number of matured' melons in many fields to on- able the growers to get together a number of orates, and these will be shipped to various destinations, where they will command “the top of the market.” The cantaloupes this season are un usually fine. In size they are consid ered perfect, and their quality should be In keeping. MY GLASSES! [See how I look. How good they < feel, and should you want to feel .

Louis Napoleon A’nim-ered. Lady Blesslugtou did uot always meet with gratitude from some whose position at last enabled them to serve her. She sheltered tu her Loudou home Louis .Napoleou after he had escaped from his prison In Ham. After Louis Napoleou) became president of tbo Freuch republic be seems to have turned the' cold shoulder on Lady Blesslngtou and Count D’Orsay when they approached him In Purls. There was a story going at the time, for thB accuracy of which we certainly will uot vouch, but which appeared In sev eral of the Loudou papers. Shortly be fore Lady Blessington's death she met, so the story goes, the president driving la the Champs ElyseeS. He stopped his carriage, she stopped hers, aud they conversed for a few minutes. His manner seemed to her determinedly chilly. “Do you stay long In Paris?" he asked as he was about to drive bn. “No," she answered. “And you?"— Loudon Spectator. ! ' — George Bitot and “Itomoln." George Eliot’s first arrangement with the publisher of “Romola” was for uo less a sum thau 10,000 gulueas. "As that Is so very large a figure," be said, “I must run it through fifteen numbots of the Cornblli.” "No," she answered; “it must finish In twelve numbers or the artistic effect of the story will be lost. 1 quite understand the neoeselty for Its prolongation from u commercial point of view, so we'Jl any 7,000 gulueas Instead of the 10,000.” And 7,000 guineas -was accordingly paid for the copyright. Three thousand guineas seem a large sum to give up for an artistic scruple, but she did It. The It hie In the River. It Is little short of astonishing to see how little water Is required to float the southern river steamers, a boat loaded with perhaps ’a thousand bales of cotton slipping along contentedly where a boy could wade acroBS the stream. Once, however, the Chatta hoochee got' too low for even her light draft commerce, and at Gunbont shoals a steamer grounded. As the drinking water ou board needed re plenishing, a deck hand was sent ashore with a couple of wuter’buckets. Just at this moment a northern traveler ap proached the captain of the boat, and usked hlm^how long ho thought they would have to stay there. "Oh, only until that man gots back with a bucket of water to pour Into i the river,” the captain replied. Pres ently the deck hand returned, and the stale water from the cooler was emptied overboard. Inatantly, to tbe amazement of tbe traveler, tbe boat began to move, "Well, If that doesn’t beat thunderl” he gasped. The fact was that the boat, touching the bottom, bad acted as a dam, and there was Boon backed up behind her enough water to lift her over the shoal and send her on down the- stream.— Harper’s Weekly.: TELEPHONES i Office, 30.
