Ttoo OH -Naids live in a one story. frame
house on an ALLEY few doors back from Main
street. They are each about thirty seven years
old. They have few points Of sympathy to-
gether. They disagree about their household
affairs and are at loggerheads upon all matters
except drinking swhiskey. Upon that one
thing they are nnit-one and inseparable.
Most of the money earned by their respective
needes-whfch are industriously piled in the
service of one of our clothing houses-goes to.
wards replchishing the black bottle. The habit
has so grown upon them that they now take to
whiskcy as naturally as a duck takes to water
or swallow takes to air. They work all day
and when night comes on it brings to their
hcarts-if they have any THAT feeling ofdeso.
lation and loneliness to which ancient, maidens
of uncertain age are presumed to be subject
Night before last they felt unusually solemn
cholly and detected and partook of the contents
of the black bottle to an excessive degree a
sound slumber followed as natural result
While they were dreaming of decayed hopes
and blasted hearts the candle burned right on
as was its nightly wont and finally toppled over,
igniting the bed clothes under which the maids
were lying in virgin repose. The flames com
municated to lotof clothing hanging upon q
chair near by and were making sad destruction,
when police officer-who happened to,be loi-
tering around on the look out for evil doers-
saw the extraordinary light, aud going to the
window discovered the fire. He burst open the
door and threw the burning clothing in the
fire place. By this time the maids were arous-
ed and raised half up in the bed petriied with
fear and surprise but didn't offer to leave their
couch. The policemen, to use his own Ian
guage, stood ''round awhile, land then retired
at the request of the occupants of the house,
after which the aforesaid occupants got up and
went about setting things to rights. The POI
licemen, not approaching the feeling of modes
ty which suggested the abrupt request't leave,
after what he had done, says if he had tito do
over again "they might roast"

Misunderstanding creek has ceased to be a
running stream. The continued drouth has al,
most dried it up, and black miasmatic pools of
water stand sinking in, its bed. Wheeling
creek, consequently is the theme Of many odor-
Gus remarks, as it is the creator of many odor-
Gus sensations. A contemporary speaks of the
situation of things alta gaspipe laying, which
saves US the trouble oftelling what tho stencil
from Wheeling creek is bringing the people to.
We saw a clerk holding his nose with one hand
and writing dray receipt with tho other; the
drayman held his whip with one hand, and his
nose with the other; another clerk held his nose
with one hand, while with the other he displayed
sample of merchandise to a customer, who
held his (the eustomer's) nose with ono hand
and felt for his pocket, book with the other; a
third clerk held the morning paper with one
hand, and his nose with. the other; and the book
keeper made out an account with one hand and
held his nose wtth,the other; and, to cap the
climax, the proprietor, having nothing TO do,
sat in a chair, with disconsolate AIR, aud held
his nose with both hands. We held our
nose, too partly outOf sympathy, and partly
because of the stencil. and then we moved on,
wondering f,thef6ad TO a certain internal local.
