Borrowing Extraordinary.

When Mr.. Bounderby, of German
town, met our reporter one morning
he had grievance, and he soon began
to unburden his soul to the listener. He
said E
"I'm going to move. I can't stand
those Thompson's next door to me any
longer. They're the awfullest people to
borrow things that I ever saw.
"Take chairs, for instance. She asks
us to lend her our chairs three times q
day, at every meal; and she borrows the
rockingham whenever she wants to put
the baby to sleep. A couple of times
she sent over for sofa, and when the
boy came back with it he scid Mrs.
Thompson was as mad as thunder, and
kept growing around the house all day
because there were no castors on it.
Last Monday she borrowed our wash
boiler, and we had to put off our wash
ing till Tuesday. She did some pre-
serving in it, and the consequence was
all our clothes were full of preserves.
I've got on an un 'ershirt now that I'm
mighty doubtful if I'll get off, it's stuck
to me so tight. Every now aud then
she has company, and then she borrows
our hired girl and all the parlor furni-
ture; and once, because I wouldn't carry
the piano over for her and take down
the chandelier, she told our girl that
there were rumors about town that
was a reformed pirate.
"And then, on Thursday, Mrs.
Thompson sent that boy over to know If
Mrs. Bounderby wouldn't lend her our
front door. She said theirs was being
painted. and sho was afraid that the
baby would catch cold. When I asked
him what he supposed we were going to
do to keep comfortable without any
front door, he said Mrs. Thompsan said
she reckoned we might tack up bed
quilt or something.
"But they are the most extraordinary
people Last fourth of July was it7
Yes-last fourth of July the boy came
over and told Mrs. Bounderby that Mrs.
Thompson would be much obliged If
she'd lend her the twins for q few
minutes. Said Mrs. Thompson wanted
'em to suck off new bottle Top because
it made her baby sick to taste fresh In
dia rubber. Cheeky, wasn't it2 But
that's her way. Yes, sir; I'm going to
move. I'd rather live next door to a
lunatic asylum and have the maniacs
pouring red hot shot over the fence every
hour of the day. I would indeed. !"
And Mr.. Bounderby walked away to
look for house.

I" Criminal Intent.o

A man about fifty-five years old, hav-
ing red hair and whiskers, took q liking
to woman in Detroit, Gays the Free
Press, and, after an hours conversation,
made her an offer of marriage, explain
ing that he was widower, and worth
four or five thousand dollars. Thinking
to have some fun at his expense, the
woman replied that she would talk to
him If he would 60 and have his hair
and whiskers dyed. He joyfully trotted
away, and barber made the change. It
was a sick change, and when the old
man returned to the market, the women
up there laughed till the tears fell.
Are you making fun of me2" seri-
ously inquired the widower.
"Oh! what O man-oh! where's the
fool-killer 2" shouted the female who had
promised to be his own true love.
When he discovered that she had
been trifiing with his feelings he went
down to the central station and told his
story.
"Look at this job I" he shouted,
pointing to his hair and whiskers.
where's my twelve shillings gone 2"
The captain replied that he had better
go away and not make fuss, but the
old man was aroused, and he footed it
to the police court, and was last seen
sitting on the edge Of a crippled cane
seat chair and demanding OF the clerk:
81 will have warrantl It's criminal
intent, tell you, and somebody's got to
suffer- -

Yes," said little Bertha, simply.
"Do you remember nothing of your
mamma 2"
Mamma" repeated the child, vague
ly. "My mamma-no; I never had a
"Wouldn't you like to have onea"
"I-don't-know," hesitated Bertha.
81 don't know how it would seem to
have one."
1t was intensely dark when they drove
up to the doctors house, but the lights
shone like cheerful beacons, and Helen
was in the hall to greet him.
My love-" he said, standing on the
threshold, "I have brought you little
daughter to love and cherish some one
to fill the lost Bertha's place.
AS he led the fair haired child forward
Helen gazed wildly at her for moment,
and then burst into wild, glad cry.
Bertha my own little Berthal"
The mothers instinct had triumphed
over all these long, long years of separa-
tion; and in the tender embrace that en-
folded her tiny form, poor little Bertha
Petroni first learned chow it would
seem" to have a mother.

Centennial Notes,

Among the structures in the main
building that of Netherlands takes the
palm. 1t is built of wood, and is noted,
like the pavilions of Sweden and Nor
way, for the superior excellence of its
workmanship. A remarkable feature of
this section is q structure divided into
five parts by framework, radiating from
a common center and marking the out
line of regular pentagon. Above the
center rises dome, and upon the frames
are inscribed the names of all the prin-
ciple public works of tho country, mod
els and paintings of which will be e1-
hibited. A means has been cunninQly
devised by the architect for the curious
Holland officials to view unpercelved
what is going on in all parts of the main
building. Apertures in the sides of the
Office have been filled with magnifying
glasses, thus affording view al q opera
glass of the United States and South
America, and on the other side of the
Atlantic, of Spain, Egypt, Great Britain
and dozens of other countries.
Among the Chinese exhibits lacuuered
ware and rich carvings will be promi-
nent, and the pagodas bounding the
main portal OF the structure inclosing
the entire Chinese space will form very
attractlVe features.
The Brazilian commissioners have
erected a structure of the Moresdue
s:yle, to inclose their section in the
main building. 1t will possess singular
attraction in being beautified with most
OF the colors characteristic of the
plumage Of the birds peculiar to Brazil.
:. Arrangements are completed to hold
the Centennial billiard tournament in
horticultural hall from May Is to May
27. The contest is to be open to all pro-
fessionals of acknowledged skill and
standing. Tho game will be the three
ball carom, 300 points up, with two and
three-eighth inch balls on 5xIO standard
American tables. The Collender inter-
national challenge cup rules is to govern
the playing. Each player is to contest
with every other player. The subscrip-
ton purse of $5, 900 will be apportioned
as follows: First prize, 81, 900; second
prize, 81, 200; third prize, $500; fourth
prize, $500; fifth prize, $500; sixth prize,
$500.
Only seven foreign government build
lngs are erected, or to be erected within
the lnclosure Of the Centennial exhibi-
ton. These are the British, German,
Spanish, Brazilian, Japanese, Swedish
and Austrian governments, the latter
represented by bakery, which is sup
posed to be private venture. France
has not yet signified her intention to
aid in identifying the grounds by any
characteristic pavilion. The govern
ment of Morocco, it is said, will also put
up pavilion; and this, with the Bra
lillian pavilion, which is to be in the
Moresque style, and the Japanese house,
will give the grounds an air of strange
ness and picturesqueness. The three
English buildings promise to be the
most interesting of These.

some importance in the Supreme Court,

stand that the delay Of the Court in max
ing the decision is causing good dea!

the parties. OF course 1t is quite poss'
BILE that there are excellent reasons 10,
this delay. If there are not such
reasons. however, it would he relief 10

about to be recognized by the election
Of q new member. As far as possible all
business should be finished before th-
newly elected Justice comes to take hiS
