CITY CIRCULATION.
Picnic

AT the Butchers Union picnic on yes
terday Mr.. A. K. FARMLAND, State and
County Tax Collector, was called upon
to make a speech, a call which placed
that gentleman in a most embarrassing
position. He had been indulging in a
foot race, and had burst a certain por-
ton of his pants while so doing; so the
embarrassing position in which be was
placed when called upon to mount the
stand and make a speech will at one be
seen. He refused, but on being pressed
he quoted a lot of poetry about com
ing events cast their shadows behind
and backward, turn backward, 0 Time,
in thy fight etc " yet he had to yield
to the stern entreaties Of the Butchers
who, taking a retrospective glance at his
condition, suggested that he would sit in
a carriage and deliver himself an ora
ton. Mr.. Frankland sat himself down
in a carriage, and throwing himself back
on his dignity, made a very pleasing talk
for a few minutes, which was received
with cheers by the gentlemen and wav-
ing Of handkerchief by the ladies, but
the waving handkerchiefs suggested to
Mr.. FARMLAND most unhappy thoughts
"Reminiscences Of the past, Of that
which be left behind.

It's stated that, in New Bedford, eight
hundred children are absent from the
public schools on account of the measles.
It's astonishing, says the New Or.
leans Bulletin, to see how little there is
Of some ladies' in these days Of con-
tracled skirts.
A philosopher, observing two ladies
turn around in the street for the purpose
Of examining each others dress, quietly
remarked What a pity-their interest
isn't even skin deep" y.
The average woman now buttons her
dress from the left shoulder clear down,
diagonally across, and by the time she
gets to the last button she has circled
clear around until il ia lost in the folds
Of her trail.
1t has been discovered that the New
England lady who spelled six hundred
and fifty words out of the word con
gregationalist" has never learned to
make a loaf Of bread out of -four, yeast,
aud water.
''Are the young ladies Of the present
day ct for wives2" asked a lecturer Of
bis audience. "They are fit for bus-
bands" responded a female voice; but
the trouble is that you men are not fit
Tor wives" The applause was great,
and so was the discontinue of the lee
turer.
A lady who had been teaching her lit
tie four-year-old the elements of arithme-
tic, was sstounded by his running and
%propouuding the following problem
Mamma, if you had three butterflies,
and each butterfly had a bug in his ear,
how many butterflies would you have2'
The mother is still at work on the
problem,
Tom Nye, of Montana, had married
one girl seduced another, and ran off
with still another, all from the anne
family, and been captured by the old
man. Both had revolvers and knives,
and as they walked along the prairie to-
gether there was no talk OF remorse, con
triton, or ragged edges. Neither did
Tom unbutton his shirt-collar aud say;
"You would have been a better mar in
my place" No; there was none Of that.
There was only the plaintive voice of the
old man yelling, as they jumped the hem
locks: You've got to sport EN- all, Tom
Nye, or out goes yer gliml'

The said and TarpauIIn Bu.iness.

The skid and TarpauIIn Business
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
The river reporter of the Avalanche
says NJ. W. Kinney, the skid and tarpau-
lin man on the levee, does a paying
business, while paying to the city $3.50
per annum. So could any one else at
one dollar each for ~tarpaulins. three
cents per bale on hay, one and a half
cents per barrel for -four and wheat an
grain one-half cent. per-sack. At these
rates Mr.. X. a afford to pay $3.50. The
Avalanche man is mistaken when he
says this tax was paid for the space used
on the levee fer his sheds, skid-piIes.
etc. The $3.50 is for a license 10 do
business, just as a merchant is charged,
for the use of the wharf, and the space
taken up by these skid piles 1880 square
ieet) which occupy the best part Of the
levee, for which Mr.. X. pays not one
cent, and which of right should be held
sacred for the use and benefit of the
boats, is one of the grievances they now
complain Of, claiming if Mr.. X. has the
the right to occupy this space on the
leVeei then every merchant has the same
right The reporter says in conse-
quence Of the decline in business the
license has been reduced 10 500 per
year. say, irrespective of business,
take OH the license and make it a free
fight for the skid men for the benefit Of
'commeree. In ST. Louis and New Or
leans the skid and ~tarpauIin business is
done for half the money it is in Mem
phis, and the high tax is Just what does
it. II is said he Kinney exhibited re-.
ceipts for $500 paid his opponents for
skids and ~tarpaulins. What has this to
do in the matter2 We will only saw in
this connection that so far as the pur-
chase Of the skids only from one Of these
opponents goes, we are informed Mr..
Kinney had collected from boats for the
rent of ~tarpaulins loaned him by this Cd.
ponent, and for which the opponent re-
eeived not a cent, as much as was paid
for the skids. SO he is none the loser
by the operation. This great TODD about
skids, we think, had its origin in a very
small matter-the loan Of four pieces Of
scantling 10 a poor man to damage his
furniture on the levee, and an Irishman
at that. OBsERvER.

June 3Otb.
The unlimited confidence and liberal
patronage bestowed on the Texas Real
Estate and Gold Distribution, Of which
| am the Manager, is a subject of general
remark. The post-ofice records of this
city show that we have received twenty
FIVE times as many P. 0. orders, and
registered letters with money than a
similar enterprise of this city Of larger
p%retensions. The Management take
great pleasure in acknowledging their
gratitude to the public, with ihe assur-
ance that the Drawing will positiUely
take place on the 3Oth day Of June, 1876.
Our October Drawing took place with
but one p~ostponement, and so would
this, but for circumstances (see adver-
tisements and circulars utterly un.
a~voidable. Our success is such that we
a safely promise to refund euery cent
Of money and present every ticket
holder Nth a Terds Farm ii the Draw
ing does not take place on the Both of
June, 1875. We also offer a plan (see
ADVERTISEMENT whereby those buying
tickets can keep their money in a home
bank till the Drawing takes place.
