Some Proceedings Of the Lime.K Kiln
Club.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS,

UNDER this head the Committee on
Inland Navigation made their report on
the case of Brother Enhancer Simmons,
who was charged by several white per-
sons with having taken a jug of vine
gar from q grocery store. The COM
mittee's report was full and exhaustive,
and concluded as follows:
"Brudder Simmons had no difficulty
in 'stablishin' de fack dat he had a cab
bage under his arm when he entered
dat grocery. He placed dat cabbage on
de counter beside de jug. When he
went out he war talkin' pollyticks, an
his mind wal busy wild de Presidential
queshun. In a moment of absent-mind-
edness he picks up de jug instead of de
cabbage an walks out, an OATS de
long al short of de story. 1t an de
opinyun of dis committee dat he didn'
mean to do it,"
Il doan' believe dat Brudder Sim
mons would steal a jug o vinegar in de
daytime" remarked the President, as
he received the report, "but l feel it
my dOOty to caushun him to be
mere keerful in de fuchur. DE likeness
between jugs an cabbages am not SO

mistake again"
REPUDIATED.
The Rev. Penstock here arose to q
question of privilege. He said he had
been instrumental in inducing the Club
to sanction an almanac printed for the
exclusive use of the colored people. He
was one of the committee to report on
the number of eclipses which the said
almanac should contain, and he had fur
nished a poem of his own composition
to embellish at least one of its pages.
He now desired to say that he repudi-
ated the almanac from page one to the
mad-dog cure on the last cover. None
of the eclipses had occurred on time, or,
in fact, at all. Moonlight nights had
been run in for all sorts of weather, and
his poem had been cut to pieces and
made to do duty for a l~iver-pad adver-
tisement. In several places the name
of the club had been printed Lime
KILL" and in q brief history of the Or
ganization Whalebone Honker was
down as a deacon, Samuel Shin was
said to be a missionary, and Saleratus
Spencer was marked as deceased. He
would offer a resolution repudiating the
almanac and its maker.
The resolution was voted on without
discussion, and was unanimously
adopted.
CLOSING REMARKS.
When the sound of the triangle strik-
ing the closing hour had died away to
q mere whisper, Brother Gardner ex-
tended his arms and said: "De road
run 'longside o canebrakes. where de
wolves howl an make de chire en- afeard;
ober ribbers wher' de ole men an de
women may git lost; frew dark woods
in which strong men tremble rs de mid
night breeze whispers in de tree-tops.
We are all on a journey. We Are all
gwine to one place. Fast as we git

between London and Plymouth, for in

walls on English and Scotch railways,
but not in the sister island. In this
respect justice has been done TO Ire

Irish railways. the difference between
Dublin and Greenwich time being
twenty-five minutes and twenty sec

In moving rapidly about Europe, the
necessity of having only one railway
time for each country. is amply recog-
nized. This rule generally obtains.
Paris time, which is nine minutes and
q quarter earlier than that Of Green
witch, prevails in France; Amsterdam
time in Holland; Prague time in Aus
tria; Pesth time in Hungary; Roman
time in Italy; Mannheim time in the
Palatinate, and st. Petersburg time in
Russia. The latter is two hours and

ever, for the telltale watch, everything
would appear simple and natural

egraph is applied that strange results
are obtained. II is curious to note that q
telegram sent fromLondon to San Fran
cisco at noon arrives at about four o'clock
in the morning. and that one sent at the
same moment to Calcutta at about six
O'Clock in the evening. Amusing add
odd results, besides the printing Of
speeches before the date of which they

of time and the earth's surface. Greet

1t was hardly TO be expected that the demo-
Gratis OF Virginia would carry their local quar-
rels upon state finance to the extent of throw

tors are 10 be taken from each wing, and the

whether as an aid or drawback, The demo-
Gratis may pretty certainly count upon Carving

Conflicting reports come from the fashionable
summer resorts, the springs, the mountains,
the sea coast, &C., as to the prosperity of the
season so far. According to some the season
opens with the prospect of being the liveliest on
record; others say that the season Is unusually
duh and backward, and does not compare with
the business OF last year at the same time. 1t
Is probable that with the improved facilities for
access to the great summer resorts from our
pOpulouS cities the travel TO them IS more In
spurts than was the case years ago. over sun

Mr.. Jennings, the London correspondent of
the \. \. World, devotes his last letter to the
consideration OF the steady growth OF democracy
curing the last forty years In England, and he
concludes that the revolution going On in that
country Is destined to be not less momentous in
Its results than what is called the great reyo-
luton OF 16Gs. 1t Is pointed out that a cabinet
OF which Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Bright are
members could not be expected by any rational
man to disregard the democratic forces which
had proved their right to govern the country,
and that there is no ground for the
belief that Mr.. Gladstone viii shrink
nom the work to which he pledged
himself when In opposition. The territorial
and wealthy classes have never been his
friends In constituencies where they are
powerful he has been scorlfuIly rejected. He
Is above all things a minister created by the
working classes, and he has recently declared
that the working classes constitute the nation.
The new democratic party Will do its work thor.
oughly, and not permit itSelfto be turned aside by
any obstacles 1t.has gained powerful mouth

day avowed frankly that the democratic legls-
lation' at present demanded by the people

cnange In It's construction. into harmony with
what, rightly or wrongly, he believes 10 be the
wishes or great majority of Englishmen.,,
THESE are cautious, and yet menacing words,
and what they mean Is probably this-the
abolition Of the House OF Lords and the substi-
tuition of working men In The House of Com
mons for plutOcracy. 1t IS predicted that the
pail Will be opened very soon in this way.
The Dill affecting Irish landlords Will pass the
commons and go TO the house OF lords, and
there De thrown ont. What will be the conse-
quence? An agitation for the abolition of the
upper house. carried On under circumstances
INFINITELY more favorable TO its success than
ever have been known before. Earl Russell, in
his "Ree0llectlonS,' expresses the opinion that
the fall or the house of lords would only precede
by short time the overthrow OF the monarchy.
MI. Jennings says this Is an event not beyond
the calculation OF large section of the demo-
cratic party there, and that it would not be an
unsafe prediction that the future form of
government In England will be republic
Whlie Mr.. jennings pictured revolution In
England may be slightly premature for that ex.

Try, there Is no doubt that the democratic leaven
Is working there as elsewhere ond that In due
time England will come into the great band of

A Rush of Business.

As one of the most prominent
young burglars of San Francisco was
walking out of court the other day,
Just after having secured an acquittal
regarding his latest job by a prompt
and business-like 'divy' with the
powers that be, at the usual rates,
well-to-do, but anxious-looking, stran-
ger touched his arm, and beckoned
him into doorway.
"You are "Teddy, the Ferret"
aren't you," asked the gentleman,
"the man who was tried to-day for
safe-cracking?"
"Well, wot Of it?" replied the
house breaker.
ivy, just this-you'll excuse my
speaking SO low-but the fact is I've
come all the way from the San Joa-
quin to look up party in your line
Of business"
Have, eh?"
"Yes-I-well, I've lite propo-
sition to make to you
Exactly, said the Ferret, calmly;
you're bank cashier down in the
foot hills"
"How did you know that?' STAN
mered the gentleman, much amazed.
"And your cash and accounts are
to be gone ever by the directors on
the first, an as you can t realize on
your stock, you want me to gag you
some time next week, shoot your hat
full of holes, find the combination in
your breast pocket-book and go
through the safe in the regular way.
"Great heavens, man how did you
find all that out ?"
"Why, I guessed it. It's the regu-
lar thing you know. Got three or
ders to attend to ahead Of yours now.
Lemme see. Cant do anything for
you next week, but might give you
Wednesday and Thursday of the
week after. How'll that suit your"
The cashier said he thought he
could make that do, and in less than
five minutes they had struck bar
gain and arranged the whole affair.
Even New York isn't much ahead
of San Francisco in regard to modern
conveniences.
