The difference in the appearance of our
streets at 7 o'clock and $3.50 Is mos
striking. At Z o'clock the sidewalks
are a moving, surging mass of human
beings and all il roaring and hum
ming like a .Brobdignagian beehive; at
. O'clock most of the business houses
closes, and half an hour after the town
has cooled down till it does not look
like the same place. This is getting to
TIE more and more the case. Ii is a
good omen, as it shows that II people
are settling down TO steady habits and
tile realities of life. 4 few years since
it was not until about midnight That
the town began to howl and then for
two or three hours the saloons were
more thronged and nor devilJry was
seen than during any olherthree hours
in the twenty-fonr. Now at II O'Clock
the saloons are almost deserted aud the
amount OF business done, except on
rar- occasions, does not pay for the gas
burned. Then men filled the town
and m were few. Now men have
their families here and women are be-
coming numerous; therefore the men
have fallen into domestic channels and
do not re>tlessly roam abroad as in
former times.
The Virginia Chronicle of Friday last
relates the following: This morning
about 10 o'clock the workmen engaged
at the icy reservoir of the water works
were surprised to see a large yellow cat
crawl out of the big pipe on the east
side III the works. The poor pus> was
in a starved and exhausted condition
and mewed piteously. One of the
workmen, who Lad some milk in his
dinner can, gave it TO the sufferer who
Tapped it up speedily. In "a short time
it seemed much revived and moved
about freely. Some meat was also
given it, and finally it curled itself up
in a corner and went to sleep. It's
flesh VAS wasted to the hone, and it
had the appearance of a v%eritable living
skeleton. 1t will he remembered that
the Chronicle gave an account of how
it was driven from Orndortf * Magee's
saloon, a week ago last Monday, and
took refuge in the empty water mains,
which We're then being laid At that
point. Thus it has been a tritle over
ten days in the pipes.
The Reno Journal thus ~narrates: A
corn doctor has been doing a good bus
mess in Reno for n few days. Ye>,er-
dav he tackled the wrong customer.
Going up to Dick Allen he asked him
If he had any corns or bunions he
wanted extracted. Dick answered in
the affirmative, and going behind the
counter in Beck's store, lie loosened
the straps which held his wooden leg
on to his body. Seating himself in a
chair he called upon the corn doctor to
pull off his boot and go to work. Down
on his knees went the extractor of
corns. and began to tug at the boot for
dear life. In a minute the whole ley
came of; the doctor turned pale ~
death, and Dick exclaimed, "you have
ruined me-" The crowd in the store
enjoyed the ludicrous scene immense
