MISCELLANEOUS CITY NEWS.

Coroner Stephens held the following inquests
yesterday: On the body Of Mary Boyle, aged so
years, who was fatally injured by falling down
stairs, on Thursday evening; on Patrick Hink-
ley, who died from the effects Of intempe1ance j;
on John Lihey, an infant, belonging to emigrant
parents, who died on the train between this city
and New York
B. F. Kelly, OF Ottawa, H., while strolling
about the city last evening, dropped into a
saloon on South Clark street to get cigar, and
found out when it was too late, that it Was one
Of the yilsst dens imaginable, kept BY woman
named Sophia Stevens. As soon as he display
ed his money he was get upon BY the degraded in
mates, and was slightly stabbed in the neck By
the woman Stevens. The house WAS "pulled.'
The anniversary OF our fire WAS observed
rather too closely for comfort by q. P. Stan
wood, General Ticket Agent OF the Chicago l.
Northwestern Railway in this city, who, On the
night Of the 9Th, was burned out at his mother 3
residence in Hopkinton, N. a. What made the
observance more trying, Mr. stanwood had been
sick in the honse for ten days and WAS carried
out on stretcher. He believes that q lively
interest will permanently attach to that date for
him, as he was one Of the burned-out on the
North Side last year.

Little Mary had heard her father instruct her
older brothers and aister3 that when, in the
course Of conversation, q subject came up that
seemed to be disagreeable to any one present,
etiquette demanded that it should be changed as
quickly as possible. Some days after, her father
said to her as he left the house:
"Mary, papa wants you to be Eery careful, if
hyacinths. viii you remember =" '~@0
OF course she would, but On papa's return in
the evening, he found his hyacinths picked, and
the marks Of the little feet in the garden bed.
Calling Mary up to him, he looked very grave,
Aad said:
"My dear, you remember that told you par
hcu1arly not to touch the hyacinthH, and now ]
find them picked, and no one has been in the
garden but you. How is this?"
Mary laughed, and said:
"Oh, papa, it WAS splendid in the garden to.

you. told you not to touch the hyacinths, an6

"Oh, yes, papa, did have the 1o71iest time il
the garden to-day. Don't you think it was a
beautiful day?"
Mary, how dare you answer me 30 imperti-
nently! I am talking to you about your disobe.
dience. Why do you not attend to me2 shall
have to make you"
Rather sobered at this suggestion, the little
girls counteuance fell, and she faltered out:
ssWhy, papa, you said that when subject be-
came unpleasant to any one, the only way was te
change it."
Papa saw the point, and the unpleasant sub
1ect was dropped for that time.

Mr.. Thomas c. Brown, Superintendent Of the
Madison Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Grand Central
Depot and Thrty-fourth street ferry lines OF city
railroads. has resigned his ONCE and Is about to
accept another position more remunerative. Mr..
Brown resigned his position as Deputy Surveyor OF
the Port eight years ago, at the So
licitation OF Commodore Vanderbilt, and
undertook the management of the Fourth Avenue
line, which at that time was running only thirty
cars His management OF the trust reposed in him
was excellent, as Commodore Vanderbilt acknOwl-
edges In letter to Mr.. Brown and w. H. Wander
bilt testifes TO In note c0uched In the Ian
guaQe OF eu0gy. IL Is understood that Mr.. Brown
resigned his position as superintendent because the
Commodore thought flt to overlook him and put
over his head as General Manager q carpet-bagger
nom Boston. Mr.. Brown showed commendable
spirit In so doing.
