WHAT A BOY KNOWS ABOUT
Girls

Girls are the most unaccountablest things
in the world-except woman. Like the
wicked flea, when you have them they amt
there. can cipher clean over the improp-
err fractions, and the teacher says L do it
first-rate; but can't cipher out girl, prop
er or improper, and you can't either. The
only rule in Arithmetic that hits their case
is The double rule of two. They are as full
of old Nick as their skin can hold, and
they would die if they couldn't torment
somebody. When they try to be mean
they are as mean as pusley, though they
amt as they let on, except sometimes, and
they are good deal meaner. The only
way to get along with a girl when she comes
to you with her nonsenses, is to give her
tit for tat, and that will fummux her, and
when you get girl fummuxed she is as
nice as new pin. A girl can SOW more
wild Data in a day than boy can SOW in
q year, but girls get their wild oats sowed
after while, which boys never do, and
then they settle down as calm and placid as
mud-puddle. But like girls first rate,
and guess the boys all do. | don't care
how many tricks hey play on me-and
they don't care either. The hoitYtoityest
girls in the world can always boil over like
glass of soda. By aud by they will get
into the traces with somebody they like,
and pull as steady as an old stage horse.
wave, l say; they viii pay for it some day,
sewing on buttons and trying to make a
decent man of the fellow they have
spliced on to, and ten chances to one if they
don't get the worst of it.

A PRUssIAN BARON, who long before
the Franco German war had married Par
isian lady, lately entertained number of
his friends. At the dessert, entire la poire
ct lie frontage, the elated gentleman began,
as usual, to talk of the decadence of
France, maintaining, above all, that Paris
would never recover its former standing,
and that Berlin would soon be the capital of
Europe in every respect. The wife upheld
the contrary point of view as long as she
could; bot at last, losing her temper, she
said, 'iLet any enc of you give NE no mat
ter what, and | will bet you something will
be made out of it in Paris, which was &C
cepted. On the next morning she received
from one of the heavy wits a gray hair,
carefully boxed up. The Baroness few
days afterwsrd invited her guests to exam
inc the artistic use made by a Partisan jew
eIler Of the gray hair. There was an ex-
quisite and costly medallion, representing
the Prussian eagle, in black email, holding
in one of its claws the same hair. A white
enamel escuscheon above it bore the fol-
lowing inscription: "Alsaee-L Lorraine,
which you only hold by single gray-hai-.n'

ITS CLOSE DRAWING NEAR-soME REMARKS ABOUT
THE TRADE.
At the end Of April the oyster season will
close, according to the provisions of law. The
Baltimore Sun says The season has proved
generally profitable to dealers and packers, not
withstanding the fact that nearly one million
bushels OF oysters were spoiled in the shell DUR
ing the first heavy freeze of the past winter,
when, it will be remembered, several fleets of
oyster boats were frozen in the river down the
bay, and were not released from their icy bonds
until weeks had elapsed. With the approach of
very poor, caused by the rather general stagna-
tion, under the severity of the season, of all
branches of trade, and since that time prices
have been lower than has marked this particular
trade in several years. At the present time
good article can be had at the following prices /:
One pound cans 81 and two pound cans 90 10
per dozen. What are known az light weights
range from eighty to Hinety five cents per dozen
for one-pound cans, and go and $1.76 for
two-pound cans.
An extra quality of oysters such as are taken
from the waters in the lower portion of the bay,
command "a per dozen for two-pound cans. At
the present time the trade is principally confined
to oysters opened raw and packed In ice for ship
ment. Dealers in what ID known as the raw trade
complain that their sales during the past season
have not compared favorably with those OF 1872,
and attribute the falling of to a combination of
circumstances the principal one being that par
ties at Orisfeld can undersell dealers in Balti-
more.

CHILD BURNED TO A cRIsP-A TERRIBLE WARN
ING TO CARELESS MOTHERS.
In tenement house in an obscure court, in
the rear of No, 1872 st. John street Philadelphia
resides German mechanic named Joseph So
kele, aud his family, consisting of wife and
two small children. Yesterday, at noon the
mother left the house to go to market, leaving
the two children, an interesting little girl 81
years DID, and baby boy, alone.
In the room was large cook stove, in which
fire was burning brightly, and the mother neg
lected to close the doors in front. When she
returned an hour and half after, a horrible
spectacle confronted her. About three yards
from the stove. upon the floor, laid simmering
the charred remains of the little girl with every
shred of clothing burned from the body and the
flesh all burned from the lower limbs. The bo-
dy was blackened and dsdgured and life had
fed
In corner of the room the other youngster
was found, gazing intently upon the lifeless body
of his sister, and he was striving to get as far
ont OF the reach of it as possible Upon the
stone hearth was discovered pieces of charred
brown paper.
1t is supposed that the child had been playing
with the fire, and the clothing caught from a
piece Of lighted paper. Underneath where il
lay the fire burned large hole in the floor.
The neighbors heard no noise during the abb
sence of the mother, and it is believed that the
child did not utter cry while being consumed
