MARTINS FERRY.
HUMAN nature. they tell us, 10 the
same everywhere. With due Difference
to the all knowing "they," we cay, hui
man nature is absolutely different every
where, and no general rules can be laid
down. No where do we see this more
clearly verified than in the railroad
cars. We notice one day how our fel-
low travellers comport themselves, and
the next day we gauge the occupants
Of the car by those of the day before
and 10 they 90 straightway and do
something We never dreamed Of. The
third day another crowd is on, and 9TH
er phases present themselves, and 80
on ad infnitum To-day 10 one car we
saw man who lad fioundered into the
wrong car. aud as it was starting dis
covered he WAS going in the wrong di-
rectiou. but after celebrating till the
cars were q mile out OF town he con-
cluded that ut didn't matter much, as
the old woman had come relatives in
that direction, and he'd give them a

Joke; another man had left bis um-
brella in the depot, and declared it was
always bis luck. he'd bet half he was

every depot in the country, it was just
so everywhere, a man couldn't turn his
tack bat somebody was ready to
swindle him out OF every cent he
was worth, and be hurled vim

hearers and seemed 10 pound it in with
that absent umbrella; baby that cries
and cries and continues to cry, notWith-
standing the sundry shakes and pokes,
aud bushes that are administered by its
mother; q woman who at the end Of
the route demands her baggage and
when asked for her checks declares she
has no checks, never had any, never
saw any, and. in fact, has doubts as to
there being such thing in existence,
and the baggage master in despair
finally asks what have you then? and
she replies 9 hsin't no checks, I've

over. We have few others, CONNER
cial travellers principally, who occa-
sionally raise their eyes from the morn
ing paper. aud probably adjure the
gods for patience when that babys tor
lures seem greater than they can bear;
but to-day the grotesque element seems
to abound, but it is doubted il in our
travels We ever see the came combine
ton again.
We supposed from the number OF
houses going up through town, and the
number OF manufacturing establish
ments running, business in town was
about as good as it could be, but one OF
our largest lumber houses tells Us that
things are looking up, and greater
number OF new houses have been com
tracted for during the last two weeks
than have for several weeks before.
The decoration services here on
Saturday, are said to have been the

The number OF people assembled in the

to the occs sion. calling forth only the
best feelings Of the people.
