"WHERE's MY BABy,"-The train from
Toledo arrived with heavy load of passen-
gers, a few minutes before the time for the
Eastward bound train to start. Among the
passengers was a lady with multitude of
small packages and a baby On descending
from the Toledo cars she was notified that
she was to hurry up or she would miss the
train. Hugging the baby with one arm she
endeayored to grasp her packages with her
disengaged hand, but they were too many for
her. Do what she would, there was always
one band box or one package too many. The
precious moments were flying fast and the
conductor of the Lake Shore train was shout
ing ssall aboard" At that moment a good
Samaritan, in the shape of welI-dressed man,
volunteered to take charge Of the baby whilst
she gathered up her packages. She gave him
the child, and he ran off with it to secure
seat, whilst she followed with her bundles and
boxes.
As soon as she had picked up her traps and
reached the cars she looked out for the man
with her baby. He was nowhere to be seen.
She climbed into a car, and rushed through it,
but saw no man with baby. Out on the
platform again she darted in and out among
the crowd, shrieking where's my baby?"
The bystanders inquired what the trouble
was. but she gave no explanation except that
a man had got her baby. In an instant, all was
directions shouting where's the woman's ba-
by" the woman herself laden down with bun
dies and band boxes, which she chung to in all
her trouble, ran around shrieking. "where's
my baby?' Depot officers, Clark Warren and
Van Husen searched every car, and sternly
ordered several men with children in their
arms to give up the woman's baby" while
the conductor kept shouting frantically "all

Presently man in state of wild excite
ment, carrying baby giving ample evidence
of lungs and windpipe in excellent order, came

The denouement is easily foreseen. Mother

MISCELLANY.
Caricature.


There is species of humor, peculiarly
American, which consists In grotesque hyper
bole, the caricature of some fact which ex-
presses it better than faithful portrait would
do. Some people take the snake and kill it
when they wish to show it TO us, but the lively
Yankee humorist catches it by the tail as it
passes, and stretches it into ludcrous proper
tions, as actors in pantomnes do the tails of
those famous ductile dragons which so aston
ish and delight the children.
Instances of this wild and extrayagant hui
NOR are as common as proverbs. Everybody
has heard of the weather which was SO cold
that the mercury went out of sight, and
which, no doubt, would have been good deal
colder if the thermometer had been long
enough. A similar exaggeraton was that of
ayoung man who took calomel on morning
SO cold that the mercury ran right down in his
boots. And speaking of boots reminds us of
the stage driver who wore so large ones that
he had to use the forks of the road as a boot
jack.
The following passages are illustrations:
The man out west whose legs are so long that
he has to go down cellar to tie his shoes. The
man who is so large that he has to go out
doors to turn over. The man who snored so
loud that he had to sleep over in the next
street to keep from Weakening himself. The
man whose nose is so long that he has to step
forward three PAGES to reach the end of it.
The man who was SO large and heavy that his
shadow killed little boy when it fell on him.
The man who was so fat that his shadow left
greasy trail along the road as he walked
along; and the man who was so thin that he
did not cast any shadow at all. And among
these deserves to rank the horse that ran so
fast around the ring that the spectators could
only see one continual circular horse; together
with that other more famous racer that ran so
swiftly about the arena that he nearly caught
up with himself, and could see his own tail just
before him.
A fireman once related an adventure in
which he found himself in rich saloon, sur
rounded by wealth and fine company.
II didn't know myself until felt in my
pockets and found 'em empty"
Some one inferred that he was customarily
short of funds.
THAT'S sop said he, ''if steamboats, were
selling for two cents apiece l haven't money
enough to buy a gangway plank"
We once heard person tell of fright he
had from big dog. =
Il lost fesh," said he lat the rate of ten
pounds a minute, till the owner came and
called him off,"
Along with this we may place the story of
the man who, in consequence Of fright, ran
SO fast and so far, that when he stopped ii was
more than twenty minutes before his shadow
came up with him. He was probably watched
by the man whose dickey was so high that he
had TO climb fence to see over it.
