A Big Heart.

About nine o'clock last evening a
number Of business men were talking
about the butcher affair, when one of
them remarked that the butcher family
went to bed few evenings ago with
cut supper. After the company broke
up the business mlu whos4 store they
were in, went to his wife and related
the circumstance when they took large
pail filed it with flour and large baSl ct
and filled it with bread, biscuit, cheese
and other eatables. Tile business man
then proceeded from Shil Icy street for
the "Dutcher Home,' AMI after con-
siderable searching over the hill ne
found the mansion. Here he began TO
pound at the door of the D1tcher Mar
sion, anu at the same tilna the bpls OF
the city began to strike eleven o'clock
Before knocking long Mr.. Dutchar's
head came out Of a second story win
dow, and in a few minutes he WAS a.

with the necrssaries Of life that VAT

some r"oney was slipped into his hand,
the business man meanwhile wiping
the sweat from his face, and Mr.. Dutch

the New Co.rseso... contract.


Az Was stated yesterday, although
the plan for the building Of the new
Court House presented BY Mr.. Rice had
been accepted, and he had been paid
the premium of $50 for such plan, q
Mr.. Chandler, a Philadelphia architect,
whose plan had been rejected has been
chosen to osuperintend the bnilding. This
Is the first instance known in our city
where the superintendceny Of a build
ing was not given to the architect who
drew the plan. There are various opin-
ions in regard to the causes which led
to such an extraordinary course on the
pert of the Building Committee. 1t is
currently reported that two we'll known
Democratic politicians, one an Office
holder at the present time, and
the other an eX-ofics holder,
have stepped in and are working in
the Interests of certain Democratic
builder, WHO is to pay them liberal
divy if they get him the contract. II is
said that these two politicians have al
ready so far influenced the Building
Committee that they have disposed Of
Mr.. Rice simply because he was a Re-
publican, and 50 far as they can use
their influence, no Republican is to
have a contract on the new Court
House. These are the reports in circu-
lation, and the actions of the Building
Committee in dismissing Mr.. Rice in
such q summary manner shows that
there must be some truth in them.

New Arrangements for Selling
High school Tickets.

c. F. Thomas & Co. authorizes us to
state that owing to the rush which at
tends the sale of tickets for the Boys
and Girls commencement and the
trouble and dissatisfaction caused there
iy, they will this year sell from their
front door ard take no names requiring
every one to form in line and be per
sonally responsible for holding their
own places.
As no one will get ticket under any
pret"nce whatever, who is not in reIu-
lar line, there will be no occasion for
crowding to the front.
They suggest that the line extend
around Fifth street to avoid Market
street travel.
On former occasions of this character
they have had glass broken and goods
injured and lost which necessitates this
arrangement on occasions of such large
sales of tickets.

A Kedbreast in Trouble.

Yesterday afternoon robin red
breast was noticed in the little Park
between Jefferson and Madison, and
Fifth and Sixth streets, making fran
tic efforts to fly away from the top of a
shade tree but to which it seemed to be
held by some irresistible power. A
closer examination revealed the fact
that the robin had got entangled in a
kite string which had lodged in the top
Of the tree. Mr.. W. w. Wilson living
in dwelling on Fifth street, and whose
yard opens into the Park, attracted by
the struggles of the bird climbed up the
tree and after some trouble released the
captive. The kite string had become
wrapped two or three times around the
