The talk about Bill Allen stumping
Ohio is all bosh. 1t would be work

William to mount store box in the
public square of Columbus, and he
can be heard all over the State. And
the moro no is hoard, tho fewer vofea

IN UNEXPECTED RIVAL.

There is more unabashed impu.
dence to be seen almost any day in
o street railroad car than can be
found anywhere in the world
Young men, with more brass than
brains, more vanity than valor
make it point to stare handsome
women in the face until the rising
blush indicates the conscious insult
to their modesty, and protection
can only be had by either leaving
the car. or feigning not to notice
the audacity ofthe offenders. I hese
well-dressed soamps have on idea
that every woman is in duty bound
to fall in love with them, certainly
to indulge in a Irritation for the
past time of the thing. Sometimes
a more dastardly motive is at the
bottom Of the actions of the male
bipeds.
HIS FILTRATION.
He entered the car at its termin-
us. SO did she SO did many
other persons; indeed, when the
car rolled off ON its uptown trip it
was even more thau comfortably
full. But, fortunately for the de-
velopement of his filtration. no one
intercepted their view across the
car. He was tall, and fair of face,
and blonde of hair and blue-eyed,
with just the "killingest" mustache,
and "such loves" ofDundreary side
whlskers. She was petite, and O!
so demure and kittenish, with red
lips that would curve into shy
smiles; and soft, appealing brown
eyes that sent all sorts of pretty,
sympathetic messages across to him.
His dalntily gloved hand held the
evening paper upside down, while
his admiring eyes declared to her,
across the car, that his soul had
discovered an affinity with hers;
and somehow, she did not seem to
retute the declaration, but kept in
tensifying his ardor by her recipro-
cal glances; and the audience
looked on, and probably said to
themselves, 20. there is nothing
half so sweet as loves young
DREAM
But rival takes the field. He
is old enough to be her father; and

stranN " enough, even old gentle
men admire handsome young
women. The rivals attention
being attracted by the admiration
of the blonde Wis Wis, he proceed
ed to keep his eyes upon the pretty
little lady by his side. Presently
he even went so far as to slightly
press her plump arm. But Nemesis,
in the person of the admiring blonde
sat opposite, and Immediately ap-
peared in defense of the prosecuted.
Devoted and indignant, he sprang
to his feet.
"ls that man annoying you,
madame? | will have the con-
ductor attend to his case.' he ex-
claimed, with sweet smile for her,
ferocious frown for him, and bliss
full dreams for himself-of seat
cleared for him by her side. A
moment of portentous silence fell
upon the entire car; then came the
answer in silvery, y timid, half
choked tones:
"lt is my husband, SIR Another
moment of silence, followed by
burst of uproariousj laughter, in
which audience and actors Joined
excepting the husband of the kit
tenish little lady. He looked dag
gers at every one, and stopped the
car at the next corner, leading OH
his young wife, and leaving the
discomftted blonde to muse on the
ludicrous termination of this flirta-
ton.

JOHN RANDOLPH.
The Maryland Independent says

The Maryland Independent says:
We heard in Georgetown, some years
ago. an anecdote of John Randolph,
which we have never seen in print. If
the types have ever got hold of it, it has
escaped our eyes. Randolph board
ed in Georgetown while a member of
Congress, and generally rode over to the
Capitol; sometimes he walked. On a
keen frosty morning he was walking
over to the House, and soon after he
crossed Rock Greek bridge, he was spied
by Mr.. b., who was walking on the oppo-
site side of the street, in the same direc-
tion. Mr.. B., had a speaking acquaint-
ance.with Mr.. Randolph, and seeing him
across the street, thought it a good time
to improve, and so crossed over to walk
with him. Now, Randolph had very
long legs. and was, even in his ordinary
gait. very fast walker. With some diff
ticulty Mr.. B., came up with MIR. Ran
dolph and saluted him with Good morn
ing MIR. Randolph, YOU are walking fast
this morning" "Yes, sir" squeaked
Randolph, "and can walk still faster"
and thereupon Mr.. Randolph increased
his long stride, land Mr.. b., was soon left
to pursue his way alone.

BERGH's HOG CAsE.-President
Bergh has won his hog case, the ques.
ton involved being whether certain
hog slaughterers in New York should
be permitted to hoist the porkers by
the leg from the ground floor three or
four stories above, were their throats
were cut. The ECourt of Common
Pleas in New York takes the view that
they must change their practice to
conform to MIR. Bergh's more merciful
process of converting swine into pork.
Mr.. Bergh's heart is as tender as that
of the famous Mrs. Partington, who
admonished the mischievous Ike, when
he was about to drown some super
fuous kittens in tub, to be sure to
put some warm water in it to take the
chill off.
