THERE are two idiots in this world
who have never understood each other
One is the idiot who stands behind the
fence to throw the contents of the gar
den hose out upon the dust-bed OF the
street, and the other is the idiot who
passes by on the sidewalk. The idiot
who passes is always wondering why the
idiot behind the fence doesn't come out
to the curbstone to sprinkle, so that the
idiot going by may not be showered up.
on while passing under the stream, but
the idiot behind the fence knows that il
the hose were to be laid across the side
walk, the idiot going by would tread on
and burst the rubber, and he wonders
why the idiot passing doesn't understand
this

"DoT Is SO GooT As Sl00."-lf any
thing is calculated to FIJI whole com.
munity chuck full of fun, it is to behold
the attempts of an unsophisticated
horseman to set gracefully on his fiery
steed, and more especially when fellow
has about fifteen beers aboard. And
market street was the theatre of just such
u scene last night There were ten of
them. One sailed out before he was ready.
His gallant steed went all right tor
q few rods, but soon began to trot. That
was too much for the verdant equestrian,
and the figure he would do honor to Josh
Billings Almanac. Those legs that hung
dangling, that HAIR that stood straight,
those eyes that gared and those fingers
that clutched despairingly in the horses
mane Everybody waved and held their
sides, and laughed and waved, and laugh
ed again. One joyous German, who had
attended the Harmonic Mannerchor pic
mic said; "Py shimminy, dot list 50 goot
as Sl00."

IN WHILE commencing the course of
Mayor Sweeney, in suppressing the fire
works display on the Fourth, we cannot
but regret that young America has been
circumscribed in his observance of the
Glorious Independence day, How, let
us ask, is the American youth to celebrate
unless he fires off the end of his thumb,
or blows his eyes out? The day cannot
be considered first class Fourth without
fire resulting from fire cracker, It's
sad TO reflect on this matter.

The Sd of July was generally recog-

vailed. lIeatheaington's band, of Bellaire,
eplivened the occasion by some choice
selections OF music. There was but one
accident, that of little child which was
struck by swing, causing an ugly
wound near one Of its eyes; the name
of the unfortunate child was Eta Stead
man, from the Island One or two ar
rests were made for disordery conduct.
Taking it altogether, this was the grand
est picnic that has been on the grove
for years. The receipts will cover all
expenses and leave II small amount on
hand. Great credit is due those who
labored so earnestly and faithfully To
make 1t success.
The Baptist Church Festival was well
attended and decided success.
BRUCE SNoDGRAss paid s. and costs
for disorderly conduct at the grove.
Charles Coss paid 81 and costs for in
decent conduct.

FARE. SIR!-Some hairbreadth escapes
often produce intense mirth, to the eye
witnesses, us was the case on the crowd
ed street car yesterday, returning from
the Island picnic Some poor fellow
exhausted with fatgne and heat, deter
mined to ride over to the city. So he
jumped on the forward platform of
the densely crowded car and
succeeded in getting one foot on the low
er step and one hand hold of the railing.
Not a very comfortable position this,
usually, but there are certain occasions
when man will hold on to a street car
with his eyebrows, and think he is get
ting more than the worth OF of his fare.
This WAS one of them, for after enjoying
himself in the perilous position for a
square or two, and lost to all considera-
ton but his own happiness, the conduc'
tor aroused him to consciousness by tap
ping him on the shoulder and de-
msnding his fare, The absent
minded gymnast said certainly, and
while hanging on at an angle of 40 de-
grees, relenquished his holt to run his
hand into his pocket for his nickle. 1t
only required a moment for his head to
touch the earth, and the horriiled passen-
gers who saw his strange conduct thought
he was a goner, and the wheels would cut
him in twain. By some marvellous feat
however, he rolled ole side and the car
passed by, leaving him uninjured. As he
arose, all covered with dust, the ludicrous-
ness of his action in letting 90 his holt on
the car rail to get his money, burst with
full force upon the passengers, and a
hearty laugh was the result.

THE last three days have been exceed
ingly quiet. Up to last evening nc
disturbance of any kind had occurred
which is something remarkable when it
is considered the number of pic-nics at
tended and the extreme heat prevailing,
coupled with the celebrating effects OF
plenty OF beer and enthusiasm, the latter,
of course, being occasioned by "the day
we celebrate
TIE showers of Sunday morning were
ike unto the 'manna' of old, as
the big drops from above came down
and refreshed the suffering humanity
who had been out pic-nicing, and had
got benighted. We heard of one suffer-
ing mortal who WAS lying over the river
bank Just above the G. &. p. r. R, de-
pot, who was supposed to be dead, and
about the time the crowd had decided to
hold an inquest over the corpse, he show
ed signs of life, and grasping the weeds,
assisted himself onto the band, proclaim
Ing he was as good as dozen dead men.
On Saturday the pic-nics at HtnayilIe
and Zimmerman's were well attended,
and the large number of pleasure seek
ers enjoyed themselves hugely, while the
best of humor and good feeling pre-
vailed
