That +" Leedle Tassel. "

A paraSol tassel is very small thing TO cre-
ate difficulty in a mans family, yet, insight
fcant as it is in itself, it did cause much do
mestc trouble out in the West End last night.
The night was warm, as many who were toss
ing about in Intellectual efforts to sleep may
remember Taking a stroll on the streets,
about II clock, we came upon discordant
couple, man and wife, who were SO earnestly
engaged in family dispute among themselves.
they dldn observe US, so we stopped and OBJ
served them. They were Of unmistakable
Teutonic origin. The husband, stubborn and
morO>e, was seated on the doorstep Of plain
ing mill, and the wife was standing in front
of him on the siduw' Tx, emptying imaginary
vials of wrath upon hi, head varied with fe-
male lamentations and pleaaings usual upon
such occasions, ali of which he received with
occasional sullen remon>trances.
"Only two year married, already" said the
| indignant wife, and you running around nit
der girls pooty quick. You ought to be asham-
ed nit mine self. Tn here is eedle barasol
tasse vOt | found in your pocket YuSt such

"Vot got to say?' returned the husband,
in tone of injured innocence. "VOt l told
you ready, vot always toe yOu and vOt
never tOle you some more what l live, and al
ways will? | toe you found the leedle bara-
sol tasse at the pase pail grounds, and that's
more whats the matter
The wife would not accept the explanation,
but continued to accuse him of connubal dere-
lictionS. At length another actor appeared on
the scene. He proved to be a neig hbor of
theirs, and although he came stroling along,
|. whstIlng in an indifferent manner, as II on no
purpose bent, 1t was apparent that he sought
! them with the view of etfectlng a recOnclla.
ton, and getting them home.
) 'Hallo, Hans vas this you 2 said the new
conner, acting as though surprised at hnding
? him there. " You are pooty late out, amt 1t Z
why you no go home p

: g0Omily.
8 The neighbor inquired the reason of their
d difficulty, which Mrs Hans was not slow to
: give, exhibiting the suspicious tasse!.

1t He continued on in this strain, and finally
} made out that every married man in the neigh
d borhood had bushels of leedle barasol tassels,
i which they had picked up at the baseball
n grounds, conveying the idea that the air fairly
rained tassels whenever there was throng o.
ladies' there to witness base ball match.
