WHEEL BARRows.-When a per-
son is hurrying along a sidewalk on
II dark night and meets a wheel. bar.
row too suddenly to be graceful
about it, the first impulse is to con
zeal the fact from the world. Besides
encouraging deceit in this way,
wheel.barrows are viciously prone to
rraohing out after peoples shins.
Mark Twain (the pocD says the most
uncertain thing about a wheel. bar.
row is in knowing, after you start to
fail over one, when you are going to
get through. 1t will bark a fellows
shius, pound his knees against any
stones that may be lying handy, jam
his elbow throught a crack in the
fence GE there is one around) bruize
the joints in his back bone out level,
to say nothing about removing sur
plus hide from his nose, and then set
itself up meekly to wait for the next
passer by. Even ladies are often
victimi2ed. Only IA few evenings
ago three of our fair sex had an en-
counter, but we think they "got
away" with the wheel-barrow, as
one jumped aboard and the other
two gave her ride up street.
Wheel harrows are perhaps persecu-
ted most on account Of being left so
frequently near the corners of streets,
AS in this way about nine out of ten
men who may be travelling that way,
instead of passing peaceably by, can
not (orbcar stopping to wrcstIe a
while with them. Experience, how.
ever, doubtless toughens them be-
cause it has been demonstrated that
an old wheel barrow will take care
oi itself almost anywhere. Our on
" object in penning this brief APP
peal in behalf of wheel .barrows is

for blowing, but he never will; anl

brought before the District Court,
can hardly fail to deprive the at

call for more extensive account of
the suit, and not from any desire to
persecute him. 1t might easily be
made more lengthy by showing
other points, among which is the
fact that the prosecuting attorney
for this district is the proper person
to attend to such business, therefore
Mr.. Smith was acting in the wrong
