st. Louis Young men propose to "shske"
literature in the future. The Journal thus
tells OF one who was fearfully snur bed tie

mark IN relation to the "Hoosier School
master" was informed with sniff and q
toss OF the head that no one was, that she

The philosopher of the st. Louis Journal
possesses one of those happy temperaments
which sees coed In everything. Hence he
writes: "Since the cutting Gown of the ex-
change lists, there has been much useless
handling of useless newspapers avoided,
and the exchange fiend has to some extent

He devoted 10 this praiseworthy object,
many wakeful nights doing his sleeping in

Just thirty minutes before he was put in-

Asylum, The unfortunate local of the Mem

Speaking OF the change which is brought
about by "the tide of years." ore of tie
most famous lawyers Of our city thus ad-
dressed Justice Everett, yesterday, "Your
Honor, time works many changes, and it
is sometimes a difficult matter to identify
person when you have not seen him for
f-w years. knew you when you were
much younger than you are at this time.
Now your hair is gray, and your face bears
marks of age, and indeed, if you were
walking down Pennsylvania Avenue TO day,
it would be q hard matter to distinguish

A minister who preached in one of our
churches as temporary supply" Sunday
night, took occasion TO remark that the
cholera is no better understood now by our
medical men than it was In 1882, and that
precisely the same course Of treatment is
pursued now which was followed at that

Our police reporter has left town for the
benefit of his heath. Somehow be don't
enjoy life like he used to-he is making too
many acquai tances. For several days
past couple of patriots, whom he met at
one Of Judge DuliDg's receptions, have
been looking for him-looking for
him with q small thunder cloud
perched upon their brows, sardonic smile
resting upon heir lips, bludgeon firmly |
grssped in their right hard, and pistols pro-
trudiDg from the rear pockets of their trOua-
ers, while couple of CANNES, of the bull |
terrier species, trot ct their heels. |
Now our police reporter fairly |
dotes on bull terrier dogs, pistols, |
ssrdonic smiles and small tbun-
der clouds, but he prefers to take 'em one
st time, and or the half shell. Combine
all THESE lngrecients, and you DIS
courage him at once. There are bnt
few things in this life which would
give him more real pleasure .hsu to meet
,he patriots referred to, but be objecs to
heir accompaniments-their surround
ngs, as it were, hence his departure at this
lime, and as it y ust be rather Wearisome
o those patriots to climb two long flights of
'tairs in search Of him, 50 frequently as
hey have been doing, he would
hereby inform them that they needn't call

n search Of the lost steamers "Polsris'
nd Getty Of Boston," half doz9n years

ave been misI2id. But he'll never forget
hese two earnest friends-"too" earnest
riends indeed, but row he bids them "Au
reservoir" (Which is French for "good bye'')
nd hopes they'll feed their dogs well, dur
Dc bis absence.
