TIE REroRTER "A friend OF ours
wanted 10 know, the other day, why it
was that we did not have an account Of
q certain occurrence. We told HIM it
was for the simple reason that we knew
nothing of it. And then he was
surprised. The idea! A reporter,
and not know everything that was going
on. We explained to him and he sees
how it is now. A reporter can't be every
where at once and see everything with one
par of eyes. They are remarkable crea-
lures undoubtedly, but they are not so
great as some people think. 1t has been
decided by people competent to do so,
that the average reporter can be in only
thirteen places at the same instaut-take
it the year round. In winter he hardly
comes up the average; but IN the sum-
mer season he makes up for what
he loses in the winter. This,
undoubtedly, is owing to the fact that it
is warmer in the summer and the heat
expands him As for his powers OF Wis
ion he Is capable of looking around three
or four blocks while standing on
certain corner, and no more, Now,
our friend heard of the occurrence
of which he spoke, but be did not get the
particulars? He thought he would be
able to learn of them in the papers; as II
happened, he did not and he blamed the
reporters. he himself was at fault, q:
he was go anxious to learn all about it
and did not have the time to
look the matter up for himself
he should have placed the reporter on
the scent, and he would have been only
too glad to have followed it up to the
bitter end. We hope our readers viii
bear these facts in mind.

TRAMPs.-There were two of them;
they had just walked in on the National
pike on the Ohio side, and had seated
themselves on the pavement near the
Island end of the bridge. One was a
coarse, ungainly looking female, and the
other, large, brawny, looking thing in
the shape OF man, and as they this sat,
the observed of all observers, the man
produced pint bottle Of liquor, and the
woman united bundle containing pro-
visions, consisting of onions, dried her
rings, crackers, etc. While engaged In
partaking of their repast, which was
well saudwiched with profusion of
"cuss-words," and all that is vulgar and
obscene, the man demanded of
the woman that she de-
liver to him her pocket-book;
she refused, and the flow of oaths
which followed was shocking in the ex-
treme. The disagreement severed the
ties which formerly bound the pair, and
they parted, the man taking his share of
the effects, and the woman that belong
ing to ner, and both meandered to this
side. They should be carefully watched
by the police, as honesty in that class Of
people is long ways below par.

Another Story about Horace Greeley.

A great many stories are told about the
great editor and philosopher /; his wrath
at compositors who couldn't make out
his crneiform hieroglyphics; his profan-
ity on occasions where little profanity
is not only excr1sable but is really the
only thing that will serve ones turn. A
friend in New York ten years ago told
the writer case or two Of the eccentric
philosopher that he does not remember
to have seen in print, and that may be
as mythical as many other things that
cluster about the name and memory of
great and good man. Greeley was sick
on one occasion, SO the story ran, and
his doctor called to see him. Wishing
to feel his pulse, he asked for the use Of
an arm, and found, to his astonishment,
that the patient, through some hygienic
whim, was lying stark naked in bed
The examination over, the doctor retired
to an adjoining room, and was quietly
conversing with Mrs. Greeley about the
