Don't be afraid of having little fun
In the family. A merry disposition is e
Godsend to q home. There's the case OF
a man on Nelson street, for instance. SAT
urday he went into the kitchen ahead OF
his wife, and seeing two hnckleberry pies
steaming on the table, he hastily conceal
ed them Ia the ice-chest, which stood open
in the back hall. Then he went down
town chuckling to himself. and ten min
utes later the ice-cart drove up, and
the ice-man brought in fifty pound cake.
and started for the ice-chest, followed
closely by fond wifeexpatiating upon the
"muss." He put the cake:upon the edge
of the chest, and gave it push over. and
when it came down on those two steam
ing pies. a huckleberry geyser followed,
and the ice-man, with eyes and face full
of the discharge. tumbled completely over
the woman, and disappeared out of the
door. The wife recovered her balance as
speedily as possible, and catching up a
broom went after the iceman, but he es-
capped her; then she came back and looked
down at the oil-cloth and up at the ceiling,
and around on the walls. The men at the
store who were let into the joke by the
facetious Nelson street man are anxious
ly wondering how il turned OUT

THE w1LMINGToH &:READINgs INTxGRI-
.-. frs ~

Our prompt correction, on Monday, OF the
story that the control Of the Wilmington Bead
ing railroad had passed into the hands Of the
Philadelphia & Reading corporation has settled
that cdndrd, completely. The Reading Dispatch,
of Monday, also states its understanding that
.ahe rumor was false, and the Eagle, of the came,
date has an editorial article giving denial tel
egraphed by President Steele, Of the W. d R.
The article In the Eagle has toneof suspicion
which we regret to see, and its conclusion, as our
readers will observe, does mot manifest that con !
fdence in the stockholders andimanagement OF
the Wilmington & Reading road, which we know
they deserve, at the hands of the Eagle and it's
towns-peopie. The expressions ere these
ar the Wilmington and Coatesville men who
30 fully and freely made these promises now
violate them, then have the citizens OF Reading
been most foully duped and another fact viii be
added 10 the large amount of evidence already
accumulated In support OF the idea that evei5
man is dishonest and needs Watching" We hope
the rumor is not true, but whether 1t is true O.
false the citizens of Reading owe it to them
selves that no valuable franchises should be
granted away without some security that we may
have composition in railroadinge
There is no way, perhaps, of thoroughly satis-
flying the Reading people Of the good faith Of
Wilmington and Coatesville, except the test Of
the. That will prove, most conclusively, what
we have already stated, and what, moreover,
their course, up to the present time has surely
sufficiently shown-that they meanfo maintain
their railway line to Reading, Independent, and
free from adverse control and that it is their
desire and purpose to furnish a., possible aid n
the completion Of the Lehigh extension.
If the people of Berks county really desire
their splendid mineral and agricultural resources
to be further developed. and If the entsrprising
business men of Reading wish to secure to their
great city those advantages which will be added
by another railroad, they have only to push TO-,
ward, now, with energy and spirit. If they per
init the intrigues of the Philadelphia Reading
col poration to demoralize their purpose, and to
breed want Of harmeny and confidence among
their true friends, they will have themselves on
Iy to blame. But we expect better things

pullman Palace Car Company.

The Palace Car business is known to be very
profitable one. George NJ. Pullman, one OF the
Pullman Palace Car Company, is the presiding
genius of the business, and from small begin

that they are, the public are glad to ascertain
the fact.
Very little, however, has been known about
the business affairs of the Pullman Palace Car
Company. 1t is conceded that they are making
money, and have abundant means, but as moth

little is actually known on this subject.
