CRABS IN A STREET CAR.-NO little conster-
nation was created ip South Baltimore City
passenger car last evening, caused by a dozen
and more of hard-shell crabs making a circuit
of the floor of the vehicle. These unusual
passengers belonged to young man who had
caught them in the vicinity Of Ferry Bar, and
gentleman in entering the car at the corner of
Camden and Sharp sts., accidentally stumbled
against the basket, and in a twnkling the crabs
were crawling abou. the focr in all directions
A lady in the car was first notified of the
presence of the crabs by sharp pain in one of
caused the pain she uttered such scream
as almost threw another lady passenger into
spasms. The crab maintained stub
born hold upon the ankle, and at last a
gentleman essayed TO remove the monster, and
in so doing he evidenced the fact that he was
not posted in the art of pinning crab, as the
latter quitting his hold upon the lady ankle,
caught the thumb of the gentleman, and just
here new source of trouble arose the sudden
attack of the crab caused the man to utter a
peculiar expletive, and in his agony he des-
cribed a swift sem-crcle with his left hand,
and with such force as to detach the body of
the crab from the claw which encirced the
thumb of the gentleman, and the crab went
| full into the bosom of the lady mentioned as
being almost afflicted with spasms. Her
screams now made confusion worse confoun-
ded, and in less than a minute after the bask
cts of crabs had been overturned the liveiiest
scene imaginable was going on in that car, but
the crabs were finally captured and returned to
the basket and quiet restored along the line. >"

A Romantic Meeting.

The st. Louis Republican relates the follow
ing:
Living near the Park is family consisting
of a young gentleman, his wife and little
the illustrious Benton the other day, the
mother was surprised at hearing her little
daughter exclaim, in joyful ecstacy: "Oh,
papa mamma here's papa !" and at the same
time going as fast as her little feet would carry
her towards gentleman seated on the grass
under the shade of the statue. With his back
towards the lady, he did resemble her husband
very much, and she was really greatly pleased
to find him seated there, apparently so much
interested in morning paper. Imagine her
surprise when, upon addressing him, she found
that the gentleman was an entire stranger to
her. Abashed completely confused, she vainly
her speech utterly failed her. The gentleman,
however, gallantly came to the rescue, and
assured her that no harm had been DONE
While this little episode was transpiring in
