TYPOGRAPHICAL.

Fulton, of the Maxwell House, is one of
the most thoughtful of men. Having re-
marked that certain class of young patriots
nobly devote all their waking lhours to
sitting about the piazza of the Maxwell, and
having observed, with painful solicitude,
the danger these self-denying young fellows
run of breaking their necks by falling off the
projections to be found about said piazza,
he has had those projections ornsmented
with rows Of spikes, for purposes of security.
His little pl,n works admirably, and gives
universal satisfaction, for when young
patriot sits down on half dozen or so of
those two inch spikes, there is no more dan
ger of his falling off than if he were sitting
lat on the ground. There is one
slight objection TO this spike bust
ness: 1t has been found, by
practical experience, that after the sitter has
become comfortably seated, some slight diff
ficulty is experienced in rising. This diff
Guilty, however, will soon be obviated by
Mr.. Fulton, who is having built neat little
one horse elevator, which, when in opera
ton, will seize the patriot by the hair of his
head, raise him gently into the air few
inches and then dump him quietly and IN
ostent&tiously, down on the sidewalk.
Those individuals who were to be seen
erambulating our streets yesterday, with
their garments streaked here and there
with lime, were present at the sitting of the
police court yesterday morning, where, In
consequence of the room being freshly
plastered, everything is spotted and streaked
with lime. However, the victims have the
consolation Of knowing that it is the best
lime To he found in the CITY
The ST. Louis Exposition enterprise has
fzzled, and no Exposition is to be held this
year, at least. 1t was proposed that the
city sell to the projectors of the scheme,
the Union Market properly, bounded by
Fifth, Sixth, Green and Morgan, but at a
meeting of the City Council, held last Tues
day night, that body refused longer to en-
terrain the proposition. Well, we cannot
expect that sll cities will exhibit the enter
prize in that direction which characterizes
Nashville.
The Omaha Herald tells of 8 Council
Bluffs young man, who has for some time
been leading &c rapid and ubiquitous life,
which reached an accent point yester-
day." 1t seems that this youug man be-
longs to one of the weslthiest and most re-
spectacle families in Council Bluffs, his
father being Stock yard, man. Wanting
money few days ago, this rapid youth hit
upon the Ingenious expedient of making
raise by driving thirty-three sheep, which
had been left over night in his fathers yards
to Omaha, where they were disposed
of to an butcher of that place. OF course
detection soon followed, and the fast young
man is not so free aud light hearted as be
was. a-.---
For real nice, sensible, comfortable sort
of person, commend u to that lady cor
respondent of the New York Herald, who
has this to say on the tobacco question: 81
happen to be the wife Of an inyeterate
smoker, and do boldly aVow that / love the
perfume of bis cigar better than all the
perfumes of Arabia. think there is
nothing more delightful, and l am never
more happy than when my husband is by
my side, with slippers on, and a fragran
Havana between his lips-a picture ofhoma
comfort which many a poor married man
has never seen, who is driven from home
by cross, selfish wife, who would rather
send Der husband to the club or worse
places, so as 10 be rid of his after-dinner
smoke"
The Courthouse fence is under way, and
will no doubt be completed as soon as pos
slble. From present appearances, It will
be good, substantial fence, ami will great
ly add 10 the appearance Of the city, and
may, in the course of time, be the direct
cause of other improvements being made
in that locality. as .ag,apzs5
