THOSE CUsHIoNs.-Some time ago q
large number of ladies and gentlemen in
this city sent a petition to the Directors
ofthe Street Railway Company, praying
them to remove the cushions in the street
cars and substitute for them Slated seats,
or any kind of plain seats rather than
cushioned ones. The reason given in
the petition-and it is potent one and
worthy of notlce-wss that the cushions
so speedily become greasy and dirty, to
the extent that well dressed persons were
liable to have their clothes very much
soiled by sitting upon them. Besides
the cushions afford good harbor for
undesirable vermin. Of course no des-
tinction of persons is made in the street
cars, and none should be; they are in
tended and expected to be for the bene-
fit of all, be they well or poorly dressed,
so that they pay their fare. 1t therefore
happens frequently that mechanics and la
borers returning from work in the even
ing wearied with the days labors, occu-
py the seats with clothes greasy and
dirty from honest toll. But, however
honorable the dirt spon their clothes, 1t
has no computations against making
friends with the cushions, and the grease
from machinery will adhere much more
readily to velvet plush than to polished
iron. lift would only stick to the cushions
entirely, no harm would be done; but
unfortunately grease is an all per-
vading substance, and when a lady, be
she dressed in silk or calico, sits down
upon u cushion saturated with the sub
stance, more or less of it will adhere to
her clothing.
Tie petition mentioned the Street
Railway Company did not then heed. 1t
was hoped that when the cars were re-
painted the Objectionable features
would be removed, and the kind
ofseat desired put in their place. Such has
net been done Street car No. l, the
only one again on the line since the
painting and reftting commenced, is re-
splenIent in red and yellow paint and
green cushions " the lady petitioners
numbered over three hundred, and
it would cost the company less to comply
with their prayer than it will to put in
new cushions, why cannot the company
consult their own interests and the wishes
of their patrons, and leave the cushions

A Pleasant Visit TO Reyman's Brew.

cry.
At the invitation of Anton Reyman,
Esq, large delegation Of prominent
German and American citizens made Il
visit to the vaults connected with this
well known and popular brewery, to as
certain whether the immense brew OF
Book slowed away and ripening since the
early winter months, was ready for har-
vesting. After the company had arrived
a committee was appointed to enter into
the very innermost receSscs of the darl,
lev chambers to test the beer. Much
difficulty attended this important duty,
because Of the modcsty and
doubt felt by the gentlemen
who were assigned the task as to their
capability OF executing their mission sat-
istactorily. Their conscientious scrupcs
were finally overcome, and accompanied
by Mr.. Happy and his excellent assist
ants, the committee proceeded upon their
mission to attack the Book in the most
approved style. This they did ehectual-
" and successfully, and upon their re-
turn, reported the result of their nves-
LEGATIONS to the eager company; stating
that by Monday morning next it (the
Book would be ripe and in fit condition
to set before Kaiser Wilhelm, Prince Bis
marck, or any other admirer of as fine n
glass of Book Beer rs ever was brewed. This
report being satisfactory to the assembly,
and thorough investigation and trans.
action had of the business on hand, the
proprietor, Mr.. Reyman, invited the
gentlemen to partake of II very tooth
some spread, which he had nicely arrang-
ed in the spacious and inviting cellar for
his guests. The party tool, to the re-
freshments with avidity; the more so
after their recent arduous labors, ana
here happy, social and merry feel
ings were enjoyed. After lunch
invitations to hear some music, at
the residence Of the father of
Mr.. Reyman close by, was accepted'
and here some beautiful music was dis
coursed TO attentive and delighted listen.
ers Our special reporter, Mr.. Saro, had 10
express his appreciation of Mr.. Reyman's
solos on the flute. Thus ended very
pleasant and enjoyable afternoon to all
the participants. May it be the good
fortune Of the host to see one hundred
more celebrations of Old King Book in
like manner.

ANOTHER suggestion to the committee
on Streets and Alleys: Suppose that the
Twelfth street sewer is continued on
down to the river, as frequently petit
toned for--wouid il not be more econom-
ical than allowing the water to tear up
the pavement two or three times year,
in its efforts to find a proper outlet? We
make the suggestion; the committee and

ing upon It.

A FINE looking little bay horse met
with an accident on Market street, above
Sixteenth, yesterday He was hitched
to pest, but did not like standing in the
gutter, and wonld get upon the pave
ment. Every one who came along, made
him get in the road. The hitching strap
kept winding around the post, until
finally it became so short that the horse
in attempting to step off the pavement,
fell on its back in the gutter. He was
badly hurt, and for an hour or so the by
ISLANDERS thought he would die.

The BENwooD STREET RAILWAY En-
TENSION. No work has yet been done
on the Benwood extension of the street
railway. As has before been stated in
these columns, the extension will likely
be built along the river bank. This will
be done for the reason, strange as it may
appear, that the bank, is the highest
ground that can be found. Unless
the road is built on
the route proposed, it is said there Is
danger that it will be intertered with by
the water at even q moderate food in the
river This information was CLEANED
from parties in no way pecuniarily inter-
ested in the extension.
An effort is being made since the rail-
way extension is probable, to
have the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company make foetway
across the Benwood and Bellaire
Railroad bridge. 1t is said that
part of the agreement when the COM
psny was granted the right Of way for
the bridge, was that it makea convenient
way for footpassengers across it.
Whether or not such was the agreement,
we are not prepared to say, but if it was,
the company should be held to its con-
tract. FREQ passage across the bridge
and the completion of the Street Railway
would be very beneficial to the business
interests of merchants in this city, and
every one would rejoice to sec both
established facts

let out, and immediately repaired to his
place of residence, house of ill-iame on
Sixteenth street. He found the "girloi

much that they event for" Charles, and
made things too hot for him for comfort.
Th.reupon, with revenge burn

proceeded to swear out city warrants for
the arrest of Kate Oxford, this sister?) on
Il charge of keeping a house of ill-lame
and for the arrest of Alice Scott, or

A CHICKEN THIEF IN TROUBLE.-It
seems that the majority of "da'keys' will
steal chickens, or the majority of chicken
kleptomaniacs are of the colored pcrsua-
sion. 1t is one or the other, it don t
matter much which.
Yesterday gentleman from near
Bridgeport, named Robert Hazlett, came
over to the city in search OLA colored IN.
dividual named VIM. Myers, whom he
charged with stealing IS or IA chickens
from him on Wednesday night, and sixteen
on last Fridry night. Mr.. Hazlett went
before Squire Gillespie ana swore out Il
warrant for Myers arrest. He was cap
tured, and delivered, by his consent, into
the hands of the Ohio officers, who took
him over yesterday.
Chicken thieves have become extreme
ly troublesome and bold of late, and a
few good examples made of some of them
would probably have Statutory effect in
stopping operations in that line.
