A real fresh Western tornado has no respect
whatever for the race, color or condition Of
humanity. 1t picked one man up, and, after
carrying him nearly a quarter of mile,
dropped him carelessly into a corn-feid, and
passed on, without taking any particular notice
of his broken legs and painful groans.
The Arcadida, bright and entertaining
New York weekly, gives new evidence of pros
perity in its last number by its enlargement
and new dress. The Arcddidn is critical and
literary journal of merit. 1t will now add to
its other attractions society gossip, stories aud
sketches, and other new departments of an at
tractive order.
An "aristocratic" girl in Louisville smokes a
clay pipe filed with the strongest plug.-BoS-
ton Post.
We have been informed from time to time
of the remarkable immensity of the pedal ex-
trenlities those Louisville girls 60 to school
with, but this is the first intimation we ever
had of their depth, breadth of and general
capacity for drafting.
Now that the Yale boating club has with
drawn from the rowing association the young
ladies Of Vassar, so famous the world over for
their skill and gracefulness in the manipula-
ton of the oar, feel at liberty to challenge
them for a six-oar race. There are ten thou
sand young men in this country who are op-
posed on principle to betting, yet are ready to
stake their last dime that the fair oarswomen
of V9ss ar will distance Yale in the race.
When the moment arrived to usher in the
glad Centennial of our nations birth ten thou
sand times ten Thousand sounds went up from
the Capital of the nation, and admidst this
terrific burst of enthusiastic patriotism the
melancholy voice Of the tin horn was heard
pouring forth its plaintive strains in honor of
one hundred years of free speech, free press,
free schools and the freedom of things in
general.
The German press, soon after the disastrous
dynamite explosion, rather vigorously put
forth the theory that 1t was q direct result of
American civilization, basing their assertions
solely upon the fact that Thomasson was q
native of this country. After a mature con-
sideration of the matter, however, they have
withdrawn their unfavorable reflections, and
seem inclined to believe that American civili-
zation is thing of beauty, and express hopes
that it may be a joy forever.
The fog is so heavy in New York city that
fifty assault and battery cases occurred yes
terday, resulting from accidental pokes from
umbrellas received by pedestrians. 1t is SO
dense that friends meet and pass without
recognizing each other, and 1t affords the small
boys the finest opportunities imaginable to fill
their pockets from the peanut stands without
being noticed. A man can walk seventeen
squares in the longest of listers without
being tantalized by diminutive items of NOR
tality with "Ho, you there, you've lost your
whoops." ..-s-s---
He was a mild-eyed boy, one whose nature
is not really perverse, but by long and con-
tinual buffetings with the rough side of the
great social world he has learned to love the
wine in its redness, and would now and the1
slip an oath or two, but he did not want to be
bad. That indeinable feeling which all
young men experience more or less, feeling
that to do right is the only true way to live,
had quiet harbor in his breast, and oftimes
he was moved to nurse 1t. Yesterday evening
