Charles Jenkinson, on North Ma
rion street. has . pet robin that 10
somewhat remarkable for its habits.
It is not Gagged. but at liberty to 90
out and into the house at pleasure.
Il will go to any member of the family
when called, and eat from ones hand
when food is presented. So fond it is
of company that it will sit, scarcely
ever stirring. for whole hours by the
side of any one, and if an intruder
approaches and attempts to touch it,
it will Immediately throw its feathers
the wrong way and show fight. When
running at large in the yard or garden
other robins frequently alight near by,
it will bristle up and put itself in an
attitude for battle. IF other birds
should chance approach too near his
robinship he will make for the house
with all possible speed, and get on
some kind of perch, q chair-round
or back is preferred. and remain per-
fectly quiet until all danger is over
and it will ssunter out again. Al
another evidence of its civilization
and refinement, We will mention the
fact that it has recently imbibed the
habit of chewing tobacco. 1t no
doubt intends after awhile to become
little man in all his manly ways.

The other day, while tho Their

two of our most noted citizens
one q doctor and the other . lawyer
were out in their respective gar

to his neighbor that it was good
time to kill grass and weeds, and
he intended to improve it. To
which the believer in Blackstone
tauntingly replied that it might be
a good time for some people, but
not for him, as he never allowed
weeds to spring up in his garden.
After q minutes reflection at this
singing reproach on his habits of
industry, the doctor rallied, and in
q loud and dissatisfied tone retort-
ed that the reason why some mon
never had any weeds was because
their grounds were 30 id poor
that weeds would not sprout. A

A rumor has reached here that
some of the citizens of your city
are making arrangements to move
the Hoosier Drill works from here
over there; and it is stated in the
Independent that 81, 600 has been
paid to the company to assist in the
work of moving. It created some
talk at first, but not being credited,
it has all subsidized; and we now call
upon those citizens to rise and say
through the Palladium whether the
above rumor and statement is true,
and if so, perhaps our citizens will
adopt some plan to remunerate
them for the loss they have sustain
ed by their hasty industry. We
will only add that the members OF
the Hoosier Drill Company are
among the most sensible business
men in the country, some of whom
have been with it from its earliest
infancy all through its growth to
its present large proportions, and

EDITOR PALLADIUM-I had the
pleasure of listening to Hon. o. p.
MORTON, at Greencastle, where he
delivered speech on decoration day.
Of its merits it is needless to COM
ment, only to say it was one of his
best efforts. / should not have re-
ferred to it, but for some remarks
that were made by some of the audi
ence, the first of which was that "he
would be our next President" That
he would fill that Office with credit to
himself and the good Of our country.
there is NO room for doubt, and
should he be nominated for that Office,
and CoLFAx for Governor, and sound
the slogan, it would awake many, very
many, who are supinely folding their
arms, TO action and certain victory. so
far rs Indiana is concerned would re-
suit. Our people will rally under the
leadership Of such veterans, and
work as they never did before. That
they should be nominated, not rs a
means Of success, but for their steady
adherence to the great principles of
right, will readily be conceded by all
who wish for the welfare of our county
and State. I make the suggestion
and hope that it will receive whatever
attention it merits by our delegates.

'sBloWea'' Meat-Hsve Rieh00nA
Buschers learned the Trieki
Making an early morning visit
to Sixth Street Market, yesterday,
we met Mr.. Snyder, once q meat
inspector for the board of health.
While wandering along we came
to spring lamb stand, or rack,
when Mr.. Snyder said:
did you ever notice the ap-
pearance of the hind and fore
quarters of the lambs brought to
our Markets."
mo, we had not"
swell. just look at that hind
quarter hanging up there. Don't
it look fat and nice!'
Yes, we thought it did.
"Well, the most of that is decep-
ton. It is what is termed
.blowed.'
"What is blowed, Mr.. Snyder?'
"Well. it is . process by which
meats are made to look fat and
plump, when really they are thin
and poor. To blow meats all they
have to do is to take q steel and
insert it under the skin of q hind
leg. or other part of the animal,
place the mouth to the orifice and
blow, gently blow until it as
sumes a plethoric shape, and the
/ blow Is accomplished. (Just
! think of the breath of a bonny
butcher boy, redolent of onions,
tobacco, sweitzer-case and weDa-
wustl) Then the meat is ready
for market Another dodge is to
take the fat of another animal, cut
open the paunch of the lamb, stuff
it into the cavity, and make it fat
and plump looking"
ssWell, but where are the board
of health meat inspectors! Don't
they understand these tricks?"
mo, they don't With one OK.
ception, they are men totally un-
fit for the place, know nothing
about meats, have never had expe-
rience az butchers, and are gener-
ally incapable of performing the
duties of their Office"
"Don't they condemn meats
now!"
"Well, I guess not; I sec no
record Of it, if they do"
Thinking this about enough for
one interview, and being compelled
TO 90 home with our marketing.
