Tint OHal Dock.

The establishment OF that ofal dock, at the foot OF
Court street. continues TO excite public comment
and Indignation among the residents OF South
Brooklyn and others. The carrion depot In question
Is also highly offensive to the yachsmen whose boats
lie moored in the waters adj AGENT as well as to
the several amateur boat clubs that have
their boat houses near the dock. Meanwhile no
effort Is made by the Street Commissioner to remove
the cause OF complaint to some less Objectionable
locality, away from babltations. 1t has been pro-
posed 10 construct a dock on Newtown Creek, at q
point In Queens county where there are no houses.
This would be agreeable to all concerned. But the
authorities state there are no funds applicable Tor
that purpose.

CheaD Babies.

A funny joke, and all the more palat
able as its truth can be vouched for, says
a New Jerseyspaper, occurred at prom
inent church in that State. 1t seems
that worthy deacon had been very in
dustrious in selling a new church book,
consting seventy-fve cents. At the
service in question, the minister, just
before dismissing the congregation, arose
and said:
"All you who have children 10 bap-
tize will please to present them next
Sabbath"
The deacon, who, by the way, was a
little deaf, having an eye to selling the
books, and supposing the pastor was
referring to them, Immediately jumped
up and shouted:
"All you who haven't any can get as
many as you want by cahing on me, at
seventy five cents EACH"

An Embarrassing Mistake.

The Raleigh IN. C.) Ne,cs is response
BILE FOR the following: Years ago there
lived in Warren county a good and
pious minister of the Methodist Church,
the Rov. Mr.. Burge. His young eight
year-old hopeful, Watty, was mischiev-
ously addicted to the habit of purloining
from his mothers closet sugar from the
dish. Remonstrance, both by the father
and mother, proved of no avail, and
though Watty protested his innocence,
the old lady said she would watch for
him and chastise him. The Rev. DR..
Closs, then presiding elder Of the con-
ference district, in passing through the
section halte1 at Mr.. Burgess to spend
the night. He was assigned to room
adjoining the closet, the scene of young
Watty's depredations. Al the first dawn
Of day on the following morning the
reverend gentleman arose from his couch
and repaired to the closet, door of
which opened into his room, TO attend
10 his morning devotions, and, unfortu
nately for him, knelt near the usual
position of the sugar-dish. At this mo-
meDt Mrs. Burge had occasion to visit
the closet, and quietly opening the door,
discovered Watty in the very act, as sLo
thought. Highly incensed, she admin
isfered several severe raps upon the de-
voted bald head of the presiding elder
before she discovered her mistake, add
ing, at the same time, Il have caught
you stealing the sugar at last, have p
1t is unnecessary to add that Watty was
the only person on the premises who
enioyed the scene that ensued."

The English Parliament on Horse.
Racing.

A lively sensation was creatad in the
British House of Commons, on the even
ing of the 2Sth ult., by bold protest
from Tom Hughes against horse racing
and the usual adjournment of Parlia.
ment for the Derby day. Mr.. Hughes,
on rising to oppose the motion made
by Mr.. Gladstone, TO adjourn, was re-
ceived with ironical cheers and laugh
ter. He pointed to the fact that the
House adjourned only two hours on As.
cension Day for divine worship, and now
propose to adjourn twenty -four hours for
the Derby. 1t was incompatible with
the dignity of the Commons to recog-
nze horse racing. English race courses
had introduced the most corrupt and
insidious system of gambling which had
ever disgraced any country. While he
was opposed to this species of amuse-
ment, he believed in many sports, like
international boat-races, cricket, and
other salutary competitions of human
strength and pluck, and thought they
should be encouraged. The motion for
adjournment was carried by vote CT
2l2 to So.
