them, but was unable to recognize any. Another
made several Ryrations, and upset sundry pieces

to set better view, but in the operation fright

A Coop RAILROAD JOKE Brick Pom

A COOP RAILROAD JOKE. Brick Pom
eroy is not only a vigorous politician
but a clever wit, and the man who gets
ahead of him in repartee must be I'M
usually bright. A Newarker who, on
his way to Philadelphia to attend the
recent celebration of the Knights Tenn
ular in that city, sat within few seats
of " Brick" observed the following
amusing scene which convulsed the car,
us it deserved to do.
Pomeroy's attention was suddenly
aroused by the persistence with which
burly faced Englishman, who, in the
seat in front of him was teazing an old
hunch-back at his side, by attempting
to make him believe that his back was
being crawled over by an insect which
the vulgar usually denominate " louise. D
Brick, not caring to see John Bull
crow over Brother Jonathan in the
presence of himself and friends under
took TO relieve the prosecuted ones
creeping apprehensions, and succeeded
most admirably in so doing by sharply
exclaiming as follows Don't get
frightened old man it's only Brit,
isher trying to creep over Bunker
Hill"

SCHOOL CoMSIENCENIENTS. The fol-
lowing from Cory O'Lanus" of the
Brooklyn Eagle is, therefore, as timely
as it is amusing. He writes
The school commencments this week.
Mrs O'Lanus says it is the COM
mencement of her troubles. 1t was
bad enough with Themistocles at home
at three o'clock, but when he is home
all day it is trying.
She thinks vacation business is over
done.
Just now Themistocles is figuring as
ticket Spectator.
His school is going to have an exhi-
bition, and every boy is enlisted as a
drummer to sell tickets.
The boy who sells five tickets gets
let into the show for nothing.
If he sells ten suppose they let him
in twice.
1t is nice business for children.
Wears off all modesty and difidence
of childhood.
In case in after life they should en-
bark in the circus business they would
have the advantages of this early train
ing.
1t is teaching the young idea how to
strike.
So far Themistocles hasn't sold any
body.
1 mean tickets.
His acquaintance object to buying
tickets they don't want.
/ am somewhat interested in Them
istocle's venture, because he expects to
buy out what tickets he can't sell.
AS q citizen, am inclined to pro-
fanely protest against this whole tick
ct selling exhibition, as small imposi-
ton.
A pare MT l have to give in and
shell out, rather than blight the hopes
of my offspring who thinks his reputa-
ton and standing in his class depends
upon the number of half dolla rs he
turns in to his teacher.
am sorrythat our educational in
situations. high and low, cannot be
placed on more independent basis.
& Yours, feelingly CoRRY OLANUs.
