We noticed a man down town yesterday
who was timber beyond calculation, the
sidewalk was tso narrow for his comfort,
and as slack rope walker We know he
would be a failure. Hi~ breakfast coffee
was entirely too strong.
Hunting is being enjoyed by our lovers

we are told, never fail to ''fetch some-
thing"

handsomely.
An exchange says Burlington, n. j., has
the most pretty girls of any other town or
city in the country. We are prepared to
brand that statement as an unmitigated-
mistake. Nashville is the place that editor
was thinking about.
Bishop-the iniuitable Bishops q
funny man, is a success as a brother, he
would be valuable as ''sister, he is not
so agreeable as he might be; as ''daugh-
ter, he pays little respect to paternal man
dates and as sweetheart" he is tsna-
cious and harming-though last night his
prineely lover couldn't see it with those
spectacles.
TIE juvenile chop which was an
nounced to take place at the Maxwell
House on Friday evening next, has been
indefinitely postponed. Prof Cleveland
has had so many additions to his school of

tice to his new recruits, only having one
or two lessons, to appear in public, and
hence the postpOnement His pupils prac-
tice at the rink again tomorrow evening
| The Professor intends remaining here until
next April, but the proposed hop will
likely come of Immediately after the holi-
days.
Two women arrived on the Louisville
train, Monday evening, whose conduct
since that time has been rather remarkable
and shrouded in mystery. They remained
in the ladies' sitting room at the depot for
some time after their arrival, and this fact
attracted the attention of Officer Gsrrstty,
| on duty there, when he accosted them
with questions, in a very polite manner,
as to their wants. They didn't want any,
! thing. Why they remained there so long?
Because they wished to. Were they wait
| ing for any one? 10. Where were they
! going? Didn't know. He said they had
better retire to hotel not far of, where
they would find pleasant quarters and
! kind attentions, as it was desirable that
their present quarters should be cleared of
strangers. They said it cost money to go
| to a hotel. Where did they wish to go
then? Wanted to stay there That
couldn't be, so they deposited several par
cells in their possession in the depot bag-
! gage room, and since have been vibrating
about town, not seeming to have any OBJ
| ject1n view, any destination, or anything
| IN view, except to be SO todd Their
conduct is certainly very strange
