orally.

The other day three staid and elderly men
were seated upon wheel barrow, watching
therefrom the movements OF the steamer.
Belle of Salina. Intently were they engaged
rivcrward, when a colored gentleman with
two coIored ladies sailed up to them, with all
the majesty and dignity which is so natural
TO the sons and daughters of Ham. The gen.
tleman aforementioned and with an awful wave
of the hand, asked: "Gemmen. will you glib
desc ladies dat seatg' The elderly gentlemen
informed the party that to make such n sac
rifice was contrary to their nature and dispo-
sition. Another, and still another demand
was made for the seat, and still the wheel
barrowsts demurred. Finally the colored
gentleman aforesaid soberly and I'm good
earnest branched out in this wise "Gemmen,
I'll Glib you nickle eff you will glib desc ladies
dat seat" This was a strong. and according to
Bob, successful appeal, and the ladies tucked
up their pullbacks and proceeded to set on the
barrow, and from that time on their black
faces smiled from that barrow upon the move

Last Friday evening the Young Mems Lite
rary Association of Salina met In their new
hall, over Sales drug store. They have pur-
chased portion OF the furniture for their
room and will soon complete and carpet ic,
Ii is their intention TO soon open a reading
room. keeping on file good list of the lead
ing daily and weekly newspapers of the coun-
try aud number OF the monthly publications,
and 10 eventually establish library. In their
Friday evening session they give interesting
literary exercises, consisting of declamations,
readings, orations and debates. They also
propose TO occasionally give public entertain
ments. This move by the young men of Sa-
lima is very important TO the city as well as
themselves, on account of the healthy infiu-
ence Its success is sure 10 exert upon the
minds Of our people. IL seems TO US that the
organization OF this Association affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for the citizens or Salins
to take some steps toward the establishment of
public library. Without a library the Asso-
citation Is laboring at a disadvantage. and they
could well afford TO supply librarian and
take care OF the library in conjunction with a
citizens committee. Will not some move be
made in this direction?
