"Who is Reddy the Blacksmith 2" is question
that for the last few days has been almost as
much asked as "Who struck Billy Patterson 2"
once was. II my recollection serves me Alright his
surname is Varley, and he keeps saloon. Some
months Countless again my memory misseryes me
he so beat and mauled man who had presented
himself to him in the light OF an aggressor, that
the victims life was despaired of. The trial has
been on and of for many weeks. "Reddy'-so
called from the color OF his harris q sort OF "Kit
Burns" unpersecuted as yet by Oliver Dyer,
although Oliver, am sorry to say, has been hun
gering after more broth to swallow, in the way OF
fresh John Aliens. Reddy was in jail for while,
but managed to escape. On Thursday morning,
however, he appeared before the Court OF General
Sessions, attired in broadcloth and gorgeous with
Brazilian pebbles, as is the wont with men of
his status. His pals gathered around him like vas
sails around threatened lord. Owing to some in
formalites the trial was again postponed until yes
terday morning, when Reddy was discovered TO be
invisible His bail, amounting to $4,000, has been for
feited. Mr.. Varley, it will easily be guessed, is a
political striker. During elections 1t was his boast
that he could vote not only early but as often as
he chose, having staff under him consisting OF
couple OF score OF voters willing to exercise the
right OF suffrage to an unlimited extent on either
side A bench-warrant has been issued for his
arrest
Ihe interchangeable Mr. &. G. Rosenberg, artist,
poet, editor, and novelist, has just published vo-
luminous work, OF varied interest," that will doubtless
find its way to every hamlet in the land IL Is ent-
tied the "Wonders Of the World" and consists Of
graphic descriptions of all the marvellous natural ana
artistic phenomena existing in all ages and countries
1t is illuminated with over five hundred wood-cuts,
and is quite monument of patient skill, TASTE Judg-
ment and that experience of literature ana OF people
which selects what will suit all appetites.
The deadbeat system has arisen to the importance
OF an institution. Scarcely day passes but what
restaurant proprietor discovers that his lamp ana
peas, his strawberries and cream, TO say nothing OF
his sherry and champagne have been swallowed by a
penitent stranger in state of impecunous munger
