A Modest Old Maid.

General Passenger aud Ticket Agent
Townsend, OF the Wabash railway, always
loves good sorry. He relates tie following
told him by we'll known politician and
tourist of Indiana. The event happened not
many nights since while the Indianian,
whom we will call Hoosier for short, was
riding in Pullman car over the Wabash
road. The car was crowded, and the most
conspicuous passenger was an old maid, ex-
ceedingly peevish and hard TO suit. She
was extremely modest and had a marked
antipethy to men. She had hired berth in
the center of the car, and never having
ridden in a sleeping car before she
supposed she had right to the whole sec.
ton. Imagine her CONSERVATION, then
after retiring, when a mana great,
horrid man-pnlled aside the curtains and
proceeded to climb into the upper section.
Size screamed long and loud, raising the
whole car. When the conductor asceltained
the cause of her discount sure and explained
to her the true state OF affairs she ej aculated:
"Oh, my! l never could sleep with anybody
anywhere near me-" and after considerable
hagglIng, she purchased the whole section.
BY this time the whole car load had wakensd
up to listen to her sorrows. She, thoroughly
rou ed and excited, started to go to the
water cooler to get drink, but after she
had gone part way down the aisle she
CHANGED to remember tina. she would no;
be able to recognize her berth on her re-
turn back, and so pinned g small piece OF
paper on the curtain of her section. after
which she tripped down the aisle, conSratu-

enough to take the piece of paper pinned &c
her berth and attsch it to the curtain of an
other berth a short distance away. Soor
the old dame came mincing back to hel
couch. She steered straight for the tell tale
and hurrying lest the eyes of vulgar mer
might be upon her, she hastily pulled asid,

uncertain age, sprang in and sought secius-

But suddenly there came up from the re

which awoke the slespiess passenger. The

The Work Laid Owt.

That the Democrats have resolved
upon the repeal Of the odious statutes is
definitely settled and this fact is causing
the administration no little uncasincss.

Tho first thing to bs done will be the
