Up Woodward avenue apiece is one Of
those men who, even if he understands
perfectly well an inquiry addressed to
him, invariably replies, "lIey2" and the
inquiry must be submitted again. The
world has tens of thousands of these
"heys" but until the other day this De-
troiter was the worst of all Along came
a stranger the other evening, who might
or might not have known of this mans
eccentricity, Entering the store he re-
marked:

and he didn't like it very well, either but
habit prevailed, and again he called out,

"Calco! calico" shouted the stranger,
"I'vc asked you a dozen times over if you
had any good eight cent calico?"
"No, sir-no, sir-no, sir" was the in

"The Next Town."

Yesterday afternoon citizen on his
way to the Postofice was halted by woe
begone tramp who looked as if a dinner
of shingle-nails and currycombs would be
gladly welcomed if served up warm.
"You have the same old story to tell, /
suppose" said the citizen as he came to
halt
"No, sir, haven't" was the prompt re.

ness man, and l thought would ask you
what you thought of my going on to the
next town"
"Why-why, go on, Of course" STAN
mered the citizen.
"That is your advice, is it?" continued
the tramp. ~ shall leave it all with you
and do Just as you say about it. l have
every confidence in your judgment"
ayes, ! think you can't get out of town
too soon"
"And if you were me would you bor-

"No, wouldn't I wouldn't wait for
supper
"All right-you seem to be a kind
hearted well posted man, and ! will take

as he moved away.
The citizen looked after him until he
was lost in the distance, never once
thinking of calling him back and hand
ing him quarter He had had the same
game played on him once before.

RAILROAD TRAVEL.
Important Hints TO Persons Who Take
Train.
The Railroader.

Inc
When you get to the station hunt up
the agent and ask him what time the next
train goes. Never mind about telling
him which way for he can ask you that.
1t will show whether he is paying any at.
tention to your question. Then ask him
what time all the other trains come, Just
to see if he knows. If you think of it,
ask him if they stop, if they are freight
or passenger and other little things you
can think Of For you know he gets
paid for answering questions.
1t doesn't matter whether you intend
riding on the train or not. II you are
tired, 60 and sit down, but do not rest
longer than necessary, for you have not
inquired if the road is going to change
time soon, and what time the train will be
likely to get through on the NV card.
ASK him what time the trains rua by on
his road, and how much faster that is
than Chicago time, for he knows, and it
he does not tell, it is because he is un-
civil lust as the train is coming, and the
ticket agent is closing his ticket window
to go out TO the train, rush up and tell
him YOU want ticket. Don't say any
thing about where you want to go. See
how near he can guess at it. Give him a
| $40 bill, and after he has hurried up to get
out his change box, if there is any silver
among it, say to him: "Herc, l guess |
have the change" for this is the way to
find out his disposition. Then it is good
time to tell him you have trunk to
check. The world was not made in a
dav, and what's the use of being in a
hurry, you know? Put your ticket in
| your pocket book, and button two or three
coats over your pocket. Don't make a
move TO get it ready for the conductor for
he may miss you, and you would be that
much ahead Then he has lots Of time
to wait, but if he hasn't it's not your fault
During your trip, ask the conductor all
the questions YOU asked the agentfor per
haps the agent has lied TO you about some
Of them. If the conductor answers yor
short in reply to any of your questions
it is because he is mad at your buying {
ticket. He wanted you to pay him so he
could knock down the moncy-ior they
steal, YOU know.

An Outrage.
[Peck's Sun.1

John Miles, mormon of some consid.
victed of poly ygamy and sentenced to the
penitentary.
Is this thing to be allowed? Are we to
sit calmly by and see a man and brother
subjected to such treatment, and make no
protest?
This man Miles is stranger to us, but
the fact of his having been married is
enough 10 awaken in our sympathetic be-
ing melancholy interest.
To know that man has been married,
is to know that he has suffered. But TO
know that he has been the unfortunate
possessor of three very lively wives at
one time, is TO know that his life has been
sufficiently embittered without thrusting
him behind the bars of prison.
That he was indiscreet we admit, but
this should not be looked upon as a
crime.
When we think OF the agony he must
have suffered, trying to furnish house
to suit three different women; when We
realize the amount of miscellaneous wear
ing apparel that must have hindercd and
embarrassed him every night while pre-
pairing for bed when we see him looking
vainly for chair that is not running over
with skirts and corsets, and sleeveless
jackets, and SO forth; when we hear his
groans as he falls over three pairs Of gai-
tiers while stumbling around in the dark
after three different kinds Of medicines

The big Democratic Convention was not
a success, so far as order was concerned.
We were present by chance during the de-
ciding ballot for Treasurer, and more
noisy proceeding we have not seen in q
public meeting. When the Secretary an
nounced tine votes for Hollowayand Miller,
and it became evident that Miller was
nominated, he could not he heard any
more. The shouts, or rather roars, drowned
his voice. We expected something better,
but were disappointed.

Yesterdays Convention has undoubtedly
settled the fate of monster conventions.
As a purifying measure for our local poll
tics they are failure, and for the speedy
discharge of business they are hindrance.
The political portion of our public, after
yesterdays third experiment, will therefore
give its decision over great conventions
and will surely say, Away with them"

THE Right Reverend James Duggan,
Bishop of Chicago, now about tifty-two
years of age, has been for ten years con-
fined as a lunatic in st. Vincent Asylum
for the Insane. There he goes about in
citizens garb, still wearing his episcopal
signet ring, and discussing religious sub
jects with precision of judgment truly
remarkable for one whose reason has been
80 long dethroned. While he rs addressed
at all times by the attendant Sisters as
"Bishop," he appears to have no knowl-
edge or remembrance of his position in
the church, never attends mass, and sell
dom enters the chapel to pray. There is
no hope that the cloud of insanity will
ever be lifted from his intellect.
