"Ex-Goy. Henry A. Wise is suffering
from two carbuncles." Nothing sur
prising about that. Most people would
suffer if they had but one.
a young man residing in this city says
that when he was boy, he INDUCED in
dreams of having his shapely head crowned
with laurel wreath at sometime IN the
future, but now contents himself with hay
ing that head bathed in bay rum.
Married men will read this'cligping with
interest: First gentleman: "Why don't you
kill her with kindness?n Second gentle
man: sYoa might as well try to kill an
elephant with Goldfish balls, or blister a
rhinoeeros with a mustard plaster" He
was referring 70 his wife's mother.
This paragraph comes from an Atlanta
paper: The stringency in the egg market
is rainfal. There has been a large falling
of in deposits Of late, many OF the hens
having entirely suspended, while others are
holding on to thal- reserves. 1t is Thought,
however, that nearly all will be able to re-
sumo in the spring, when the crops begin
10 move.
ssCan you stand the raeket?p inquired a
Nashville youth the other day, as he es-
corted a small party up to the counter OF
saloon. ''Wllat do you mean by racket,
returned the balkeepeT, to whom the H.
quiry had been addressed. 81 mean, can
YOU stand me off for the drinks" The
barkeeper said ne couldn't think of IT, and
the Nashville youth and his little party
turned sadlyaway.
The funny man of the Louisville Com
niercial imagined all this, and he has never
been considered what you would call an
imaginative person either: awhile look
ing az a tailor mending a coat, Bigley asked:
Say, what dost thou expect to reap, for
see thou art sewing tears?' The knight of
the needle and thread, not being accustonl-
ed to Bigley's whine, looked soOrnfdily on
him and esSayed no retOgt. This nettled
the would-be wit, and he turned on his
heel mutte.ing: ''Tis needles to say that
your sheer impudence. will not reap hay me
for pressing my suit, still trO1c-sir when

didn't. He only lodged it."
The Chicago Times and the Chicago
Tribune don't seem to entertain those feel
ings Of tender regard for each other, which
are so pleasant in iourneying through this
vale of teas. Referring to report which
lately appeared in the Times, the Tribune
says: In order 20 fill out the article, a lot
of bogus interviews were gotten up, the
only result of them being that the writer
was hustled cut of the City Hall yesterday
by some of the people he had falsified.
There was no interview with Mr.. O'Hara,
and none with Mark Sheridan. There was
no interview with Mayor Colvin-in fact,
there was no interview with anybody but
an Alderman, and that consisted in sug-
gestiOn on the part of the reporter that he
should like a glass of beer.
Every person who has occasion TO visit
| the Maxwell House has learned, to his cost,
! the slippery nature Of the stone tiles with
which the ro;unda of that establishment is
paved. a few nights since, young man
| was observed leaning against one Of the
| pillars near the Office, his feet planted we'll
forward, his hands plunged into his pockets
and his thoughts evidently far away. He
changed his position slightly and quick as
a fash his feet few from under him and
down he sat with violence sufficient to
make the glasses jingle in the dining-roOm
above. He rose to his feet with a look Of
sad establishment depicted upon his cOUn-
