A long wasted, consumptive-looking
young man yesterday entered the Office
of a Woodward avenue dentist holding
his cheek in his hand He not only had
the toothache, but he had arrived at that
point where his mind was made up to
have the troublesome thing extracted.
"Gimme laughing-gas," was his curt
salutation as he took chair

Guided it would be safe to comply, and
while he was getting ready the stranger
looked down upon the street He pres
emily saw two well-dressed women
slowly approaching each other. Both
were well-dressed, proud and dignifed,
and they sailed by each other as if each
one thought she owned the whole city.
One of them wanted to look back at the
others hat, but by great effort she
controlled herself and kept on. The
other wanted to look back, and, after a
struggle with pride and dignity, turned
her head. She walked forward as she
looked back. and disaster overlook her,
as natural consequence. She encoun-
tered baby cab, and while the cab
rolled one way she fell the other. The
man with the toothache had seen the
whole performance, and he knew how
that fall would ruf1e her dignity and
crumple her pride. He began to chuckle,
and, as the proud woman made kick at
the cab, he yelled out:
"Haw haw haw get your forceps

exhausted his means. Then he visited Bar

Yankee Enterprise.

Americans are exporting cohius to
London and putting them in the market
at prices little more than half of those
charged by Her Maiesty's undertakers.
The Yankees began by sending washing
machines, apple-parers, and egg-beaters;
then they shipped window sashes, doors,
panels, and wainscots; within a year
they have been exporting ready-made
furniture of all kinds, from the COM
monest kitchen chair to the most elegant
drawing-room table; and now they are
following the lifeleas Briton even to his
grave, and packing him under ground
in brand-new American collins with
patented handles and reversible lids,
vastly superior to the English-made
article, and with prices to suit the times.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The holders Of bonds of the District of Col
umbia, a large quantity of which are supposed
to have been issued without legal warrant
during the reign of the Washington ring. are
laboring with strong lobby to procure a Con
gressional guarantee of the interest on the
paper.
Representatives of the syndicate have asked
the Treasury Department to release them from
the contract under which they are bound to
take some millions more of the per cent.
bonds.
The President has determined hereafter, in
making appointments for Pension Agents fol
cities where the old incumbents are not re-.
tanned. to select soldiers who had meritorious
records in the Union army. It is thought, as
Pension Agents have to do with disabled SOL
diers only. there is singular propriety in such
selections.
The House Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Justice has agreed to re-
port fayorably bill limiting the annual salary
of United States Marshals to $4,000, and Dep
uty Marshals to SIS per day.

The most dangerous for permanent
habitation is probably Mount Washing

and Private Murphy, of the Signal Ser
vice Corps, started from the station to
go to the foot of the mountain, the Ser

descend, on the railroad track. After
sliding for nearly mile without any ap-
parent danger, at speed of fifteen miles
an hour over smooth surface, and in
the face of stiff breeze, they came to
the fiat just above what is known as
"Jacob's ladder" one of the sharpest
slopes of the range. Here they rested,
1t being deemed advisable to tighten the
load by giving up the sled to Sergt.
Cone. He strapped on a light trunk,
and, adjusting the cogs, started on his
downward slide. On going over the

rate of twenty-five miles an hour, but
this increased to forty as he got down
the side, and he was absolutely flying
down the mountain-side, when he lost
his balance and was precipitated into
spowbank, a distance of 100 feet from
! the trestlework. He struck upon his
head and shoulders, and when found by
Private Murphy, who followed him, he
was apparently dead. After restorative
had been administered he recovered

than did Mr.. Blaine in the Senate Chamber to-

Senate. Every Senator was in his seat and the
galleries were densely crowded. Hamlin's

prompted Maine to select him as the most fit
ting representative whose marble statue was
