THE Denverites are disgusted already
with their new fire alarm telegraph. The
air at that great altitude is so charged
with electricity that the telegraph is con-
tinually turning off alarms and calling out
the people when there are no fires Dur
ing one day recently about dozen of
these false alarms occurred, and the citi-
zens feel that they must either abandon
the alarm system or get rid of the light
ming in the air.
EVERY one has admired Parthenias
definition of love to IngOmar:
What love is. II thou wouldst be taught
Thy heart must teach alone
Two souls with hut single thought,
Two hearts that beat one.
Some profanc cynic, having no fear of
Cupid before his eyes, perpetrates the fol-
lowing villainous parody:
Love is nightmare with one foot
Two children with one bun,
Two turnips with a single root
Two cabbage-heads one.
HERE is little bit from the London
World that might profitably have been
''sent to Punch" in John Leech's day: A
lady took her seven-year old little boy to a
new church, where it is the polite custom
to keep a supply of prayer books in the
porch for the use of such members as may
have forgotten those not seldom forgotten
accessories. When seated in her pew, the
lady told the little fellow to go and fetch
her prayer book. In a minute the wee
chap returned, with a very red face, but
without the book. "Why did you come
back without it, dear? Perhaps they were
all gomez "Oh no, mamma dear, there
were plenty, but they were all Common
Prayer Books, and l don't like TO bring
yOu common book, mamma deap"
THE Milwaukee Times of recent date
says; " Yesterday afternoon curious
specimen of insanity got off the cars at
the Union Depot, and commenced Great
| ing general commotion by her singular
] actions. She was well dressed, and, to all
appearances, was in comfortable circum-
| stances. She had a small box in one hand
and a stick in the other, and commenced
beating around the platform. When asked
/ what she was doing she replied that
the grasshoppers were so thick that it took
all her time to keep them out of the gar
den. She could give no other explanation
of her strange actions, and continued
I picking up small pieces of paper, which
she called grasshoppers. After filling the
box she threw the papers ON the ground
/ and commenced crushing them with her
/ feet. She whipped the ground with her
I stick, creating much. amusement by her
singular performance. When taken TO the
/ Police Station she kept up her noisy
demonstrations throughout the night, dis
turbing the sleep of the celebrated dodgers
in the County Jail 1t is supposed she is
a wandering victim from the grasshopper
