We, the undersigned citizens Of the city Of New
Orleans in behalf Of the drivers Of this city do
respectfully request that the application Of these
worthy and faithful men fox an increase Of their
wages may be granted ty the several companies
you represent.
We are OF the opinion that the increase demanded
by these men. from fifty dollars and ffty-hve dol
lars to sixty dollars per month is not unjust or IN
reasonable, considering the labor performed BY
them, and the great disproportion between the
wages heretofore allowed to them and that allowed
to other laborers for less number Of hours labor.
Besides this, considering the great expense OF
living, and the great sacrifices which they make
and have made in your behalf, their honesty and
faithfulness in the discharge Of their duties, we
will submit the question to your honest Judgment
that the petition OF these worthy citizens should

Adam Bepler keeps a tavern in AL
legheny. One rather gloomy evening
recently, when Adam was in rath-
er gloomy humOr, a stranger present
ed himself about bed time and asked
to stay ali night.
Certainly" said Adam, eyeing the
rather seedy-lOOking stranger. ''If
you take breakfast, ii will cost you
one dollar"
But / have no money" said the
man. 81 am dead broke, but viii you
trust me-?n
"Ah :" said Mr.. Bepler, Il don't like
that kind Of a customer. i could MI
mine house every night NIT dat kind,
but dat won't help me run dis house"
"Weil," +" said the stranger, after a
pause, "haye you got any rats here ?''
'Yes," replied the man, you'd bet
ter believe we have. Why, the place
is lousy NIT dem."
"Well," rejOined the stranger, t'I'n
tell you what I'll do. If you let me
have lodging and breakfast, I'll kill
the rats tomorrow
HDone," said Bepler, who had long
been desperately annoyed by the num-
Der Of old NOrways that infested his
premises.
So the stranger, gaUnt, saliOw,
melanchOly-lo0king man, was shown
to bed, and no doubt had d good sleep.
After breakfast next morning, Dir.
BepleF took occasion remind his guest
Of the contract Of the previous night.
What kill your rats Certainly"
said the melancholy stranger. "Where
are they the thiekest?n
''Dey are putty dick in the barn
yard" +" answered Adam.
s. Well, let's go there" said the
stranger. 'But stop Have you got
a piece of hoop irOn?r
A piece about fifteen feet long was
brought to the stranger, who examin-
ed carefully from one end to the other.
Expressing himself entirely satisfied,
at length, with its length and strength,
he proceeded to the barn, accompani-
ed by Mr.. BepleF and quite a party of
idlers who were anxious to see in what
manner the great rat-killer was going
to work. Arriving there the stranger
looked around little, then placed his
back firmly against the barndOOr and
raised his weapon.
Now, said he TO Adam, 'I am
ready. Fetch on your ratsw
How tlTis scene terminated we are
not precisely informed. 1t is said
that, although no rats answered the
appeal Of the stranger, Mr.. Bepier be-
gan to smell one pretty strongly at
this junctJIre, and became very angry.
One thing is certain, and that is that
the new bOarder was not at Acam's
table for dinner, nor for any subse-
quent meal. He had suddenly re-
solved to depart, probably to pursue
his avOcation of rat-killing in other

Re socIaI Home.

Let parents talk much and talk
well at home. A father who is hab-
itually silent in his own house, may
be wise man but he is not wise in
his silence. We sometimes see par
ents, who are the life of every compa-
ny which they enter, dull, silent, un-
interesting at home among children.
If they have not mental activity and
mental stories enough for both, let
them first provide for their own
household. Ireland exports beef and
wheat, and lives on potatoes; and
they fare as poorly who reserve their
social charms for companions abroad,
and keep their dullness for home con-
sumption. It is better to instruct
children and make them happy at
home, than it is to charm strangers
or amuse friends. A silent house is a
dull place for young people, a place
from which they will escape if they
can. They will talk, or think, being
"shut up" there, and the youth who
does not love home is in danger.
