EIGHf OF ten homeless young men
at Eden have organized and armed
a cooperative hashery which is con-
Quoted on a plan Of equal chipini-
tiveness, where each party pays a
pro rata share for grub, and then
trusts to his appetite to get away
with his fellow co-operators. A ca
tcrer is elected, who milks the COW,
splits the wood, bombards tramps,,
lies to vegetable vendors, presides at
fasmily prayers and purchases the
hash, ind holds the Office for the
space Of thirty days. That hashery
is certainly a novel institution, and
is either an evidence Of the progress
siveness of this age, Of the outgrowth
Of terrible poor boarding houses
the kind where a fellow fights flies
with one hand, makes a lunge for
the most youthful piece Of meat in
the platter with the other, and tlfen
permits it to take acloudy midnight
ride to his mouth, bringing it by
way Of his ear to keep it away from
his smeller. AT any rate the new
institution starts of well, and prom
Uses lots of fun and din occasional
square meal.

LAST week a lady brought a load
fish to this city, and said she caught
them in the Sioux. The fish met with
a ready sale, but the facts are, they
were caught in the Norwegian lake,
and unfit to eat. That kind of i'm
position is too mean to be tolerated,
and our people should be careful in
the future from whom they buy
their fish.
