Almost q Horror.

Nothing but the prompt action of the
New York police, Saturday night,
averted a calamity which would have
filled the country with horror, and
which would have been as narrowing
and painful in its details as the dread
full fire in the Brooklyn Theatre. With
but an hours notice in which to escape
with their children and n few small ar
ticles which would be seized in the
hands and hurried away, about forty
families escaped from two five-story
tenement-houses in East Twenty-third
street, between First and Second
avenues, while the walls of the building
were cracking and settling beneath
their feet, and the people were scarcely
out of the unsafe tenements before The
walls crumbled and fell with n din
which was heard for a great distance.
The buildings were on the south side of
Twenty-third street, and were two of a
row numbering from $40 to S4e. The
first floors were occupied as stores, and
the four floors above by three and four
families each.

Who is Married ?

Apropos to the fact that some of the
New York papers are advertising mar
rage engagements in their marriage,
birth, and death columns, a correspond
emit of the Baltimore Sun insists that
the usual form of marriage advertise
ments is egregiously erroneous. "Mr.
Jones to Miss Smith, " and Mr.. Jones
and Miss Smith, +" are not correct state
ments, because the woman is married
to the man, loses her name, takes his,
and her indemnity is entirely merged in
him. The proper announcement there
fore is ''Miss Smith to Mr.. Jones'"
But, adds the editor, this theory that
Miss Smith is married and Jones is not
will not loom up gracefully to that no
BILE army of Joneses who have daily and
striking consciousness of being very
much married"

A Placid Lady.

A Bohemian yesterdaymeto on a street
corner an old-tlme friend, who is the
proprietor of a popular confectionery
establishment and they had a little con
fab, the conversation eventually turn
ing on instances of cheekiness OF eff
frontery displayed by customers. The
confectioner said that a lady, Who was
an occasional or chance customer OF
his, came into his. establishment and
priced some Strawberries. She thought
them too high, and said she could get
them lower at an establishment
she mentioned down town. He
replied that he could not afford
to sell his at a lower price than
that named. The lady hesitated n
moment, and then asked him if he
would not let his boy take her basket
and 60 down to the place named, and
get her some of those berries that could
be got lower. He thought it was rather
q cool request, but he consented and
sent the boy off, the lady waiting for
his return. When the boy got back,
the lady sat down ut 4 table and ate
some of the berries with cream, and
then, setting the basket on the counter,
said very naively: won't you please
to send the boy out to my house with
therest of those berriesf" The confec-
toner, after overcoming his inclination
to faint, assuredssthe lady that he would
take great pleasure in accommodating
her.
"Well, I've got some customers like
that, too" / told him.
IN bet you n bottle of wine that
you can't give an instance TO match
that" he replied.
81 think l cam / said. 'One day
while a lady was in my store making
some small purchases, the rain COM
menced falling in torrents, with no
prospects of soon letting up. The lady
was much disconnected, as she was
anxious to get home; and after waiting
a little while, asked me to lend her an
umbrella. l had lone in the house, and
so informed her."
"'But can't you run out somewhere
and borrow me one she inquired.
being good-natured, continued the
narrator, 81 ran out in the rain and
succeeded in getting an umbrella for
her. She took it without thanks, and
as a matter of course AS she was
leaving the store, she remarked: ooh.
l suppose you can send some one out to
my house for the umbrella?' and so say
ing she walked OFF without waiting for
q reply"
81 hope you don't think that case

'sIf you think So" l replied Il will
pay the wine, but I'll bet you another
bottle that the lady was the same in
both cases." and on comparing notes SC
it proved to be. 81 got even on the
wine, but, then, we drank both bottles, >
