When boy falls and pcels the skin of
his nose, the first thing he does is to &c,

We call the attention of our lady
readers again to the advertisement of
Mrs. b. p. Mitchell, who has estab-
llshed lasting reputation among the
fair sex of the Capital city, as well as
elsewhere, for the beauty and taste of
her costumes. Quite number of our
ladies have received full suits from
her establishment, and all express
themselves highly pleased
On Wednesday, while the Republic
can Convention was in session, we
saw two of the colored delegates,
who, being either too full of enthu-
siasm for "the peoples choice"
or pine top, we don't know which,
took dive off the sidewalk into
the gutter, where they remained
until a sympathizing brother came
along and picked them up.

Business at the Mayors Court
during the past week, has been woful-
ly dull. Nothing, in fact, has occurr-

want to become good citizens of any 1
for goodness sake break
Up that Standardization band.

4 forty-horse power earthquake Will

We have heard of several fights that 81
