THE YANKEE IN THE PASSENGER
CAR.

One day last week, when in a car.
On "a city railway line"
I saw a Yankee who for wit,
| think was born to shine,
| Nine men had seats and twelve wore
filed
By women six, not fair
The men made roolA, the Yankee took
The only seat to spare.
l knew he was Yankee by,
The shrewdness of his look,
And by tho Off hand, easy way,
With which his SCAT he took.
A dashing female, gaily dressed,
Came in with naughty head,
On monstrous hoops, no one could best,
Her satin skirts were sp:ead.
The Yankee man was on tho point
Of rising to his feet
The female turned and rrutlly said,
"I'd like 70 have that seat.
| .:No doubt Of it, the Yankee said,
"I'u like to have it two;
But was just about to rise
Aud give it up toyou,
When, with your nose turned up, you
say,
I'D like to have that seat ~
As if you owned tho line of cars
And rails upon the street.
Now, madam, that won't do for me.
For if my seat you choose,
In asking for it, you at least,
Civility should use"
The female said: "On one like you
would no words bcstow-
I've too much dignity for that,
I'd have You, Sir, to know"
The Yankee said: "Ionr dignity
You've placed beneath your feet,
So stand upon your dignity.
And I will keep my seat"

sD@The meeting Of tho City Debt
Syndicate last evening, is worthy gilmore
than passing notice. President Oglcsby
suggested that an effort should be made
to introduce order into the city's tinan-
cial complications. Tho total bonded
debt he set down at S15 ,929, ,63S, of which
S9.206, ,G20 had been furnished into pre-
miuns, with interest amounting over two
millions. He thought that a satisfactory
arrangement could be made with the
city's creditors if they wore called to-
gesher and their views ascertained. He
thought, moreover, that 4 seven mill tax
would satisfy al classes of creditors. In
order to have general consultation, a
resolution, on motion of Mr.. Gomilla, was
adopted, calling fo. a general meeting of
our city creditors in the Mayors parlor
on December 80, and to prepare for the
general result a preliminary meeting will
be had in the rooms Of the commissioners
of the Consolidated Debt on Wednesday
evening next. How the proposition will
result remains to lie scen.-City ItenI.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF WEST rEL1CANLA PARISH AND =
TERRIBLE HALLUCINATION.

= a young man in Leadville

hallucination (as his physician
asserD that a serpent about si,

six months ago, in drinking
from a small spring, he swal-
lowedsome substance apparent
ly as large as bean, At the
time he thought it was a chip
of wood, and all went we'll un-
til a months time had alapsed,
when he imagined he felt some
thing moving in his stomach.
The horrible thought immedi-
ately flashed through his mind
that he had swallowed a live
serpent, and for a while he sum-
moned all the energy at his COM
mand to combat the dreadful
feeling. About three or four
weeks afterwards, Oh taking a
drink Of very cold water, he
claims that he felt the snake
wriggling up his throat, almost
choking him, and he tainted at
the horror of the thing. Since
then he has gradually pined
away from a weight of 1GO
pounds toa living skeleton, and |
at present isin such a weak and |
debiliated condition that the
doctors hold out no hope Of re-
covery. The medical men seem
to discard the idea OF a living
serpent in a mans stomach,
claiming that the trouble is
caused by the accumulation Of
gases in tie cavities; but the
sufferer insists on the correct
ness Of his belief, and says that
he sometimes feels the reptile
the coating of his stom- ;
ach, when he suffers the most
excruciable agony; and also re- {
quests the doctors to open bis

pent be taken out and killed.
