PRICES for Riding i'm Omnibuses.
TSpringfeld Republican,

SIDNEY, Australia, Jan. 1.-The omni.
bus traffic is something amazing. The
company have instituted check upon
the dishonesty Of the drivers by selling
numbered tickets with corresponding
number on the end which you tear of
and keep with bright anticipations Of
future affluence, for every three months
they have drawing, at which they dis
tribute $500. 1t is great fun to watch
people when they buy their tickets.
Some Indifferent ones pop number and
all into the box; then there is heard a
groan from some one who has hungered
and thirsted for prize. Then clergy
man gets in. He does not believe in lot
teries, and has denounced them "ofici-
ally"
He jerks the number off, throws it
down; it lodges on his knee; he feels that
to throw it away places temptation be-
fore some one else; he picks it up, fusses
with it while and finally puts it into
his pocket, probably to burn when he
gets into the quiet of his study. Next
comes lady, who passes gentleman
sixpence for two tickets; he removes the
numbers, places the tickets in the box
and, presently, the lady says, II will
trouble you for those tickets, SIR" The
gentleman hands them back, satirically
asking, 'My good woman, do you expect
to win the prize?" She snappishiy re-
plies, II expect to keep my numbers till
/ know, anyhow" Very soon he leaves,
but before he gets out wishes her success
with her ticket with as much bitterness
as if she had "done" him out of the win
ming number.

Lecture about Finland.

Miss Selma Borg last evening deliver
I'd a very interesting lecture about
Finland in the school room of the Wes-
leyan Female.College. About three hun
dred persons were present. The lecture
was abundantly illustrated by the dis
plays of stereoptican views by Rev. A.
7. Scott. Some of the scenes were quite
beautiful. Six different views of the
city OF Stockholm were witnessed with
feelings of wonder and admiration.
The beholder was rapidly transported
from scenes in pasture in the Summer
time to the depths of a forest abound
ing in snow, from the banks of a calm
lake to the bounds of the rushing tor
rent. Numerous fac SMILES of private
residences and public buildings were
displayed. The views showing the
features and manner of dress of the Fin
peasant, caused much amusement.

The reaper death has taken from onr

An Awful Position.

The other evening man living in
Wilmington was coming along the rail-
road track Of the P. W. g. B. near the
the foot of Second street. Not watching
where he was stepping, and unable to
see the way clearly for it was dark, he
allowed his foot to slip into the frog of
a switch, and was unable to pull it out.
About the time that he found how
cleverly he was caught his annoyance
increased TO fear for he no sooner had
attempted To release himself and failed
than he helrd the noise of an approach
ing train as it came up behind him. A
horrible dread took possession of him.
AMI visions of himself lying a mangled
and bleeding corpse, crushed to death
by ths wheels of the iron horse fitted
before his vision. After he had worked
himself up to terrible pitch, and had
frantically shouted at the top of his
voice till he was exhausted, the train
came up and passed, and the man
found that he had been in no danger
for he was on a side track. He
released himself at his leisure, and was
soon afterward heard inquiring for
some able bodied man with leg like a
pile driver whom he could hire to kick
him until the Fourth of next July.

WEST CHURCIa sCPPER.
An Evening OF Rare Enjoyment
and Plenty 20 Eat.

0uu ~ Askets
West Church, famous for providing
good suppsrs, maintained her reputa-
tion last night by providing one OF the
best set-outs for the small price charged
that she has ever yet had. The supper
was given by the Sunday school which
is an important part Of West Church,
and proved to be a grand success. Four
tables ran the length of the ladies'
parlors, which were handsomely spread.
The tables were filed four times, about
six hundred persons taking supper.
The tea, coffee, rolls, butter and meats
OF all kinds were to the hearts content
of all who partook of such rare bounty.
After this followed a. relay Of oysters,
raw, stewed and fried, and this was
followed by relay Of excellent cake.
All the cooking and baking was done
by the ladies of the church and school
in the cooking department of the church.
None appreciated the pleasures Of the
evening more than the ladies themselves
who were assiduous In waiting upon
the tables evidently determined that
none should go awsy hungry, some
thing in which they manifestly sue
cesded. While the tables were being
served those in waiting for their turn
occupied the main body Of the church
and were complimented by some very
fine music from the organ. Mr.. Ander-
son favored the audience with two very
fine flute solos, and Messrs. Brown and
Murphy each read some choice selec-
tions. The whole affair wss grand
success financially and socially, and
will bear many repetitions.

Tilden Negotiating.

Cincinnati, February &c. Colonel
G. W. Wooley, who interested himself
in behalf of Tilden in Florida in 1876,
is authority for the statement that Til
denis friends are endeavoripg to buy
al the best rooms at the leading hotels,
with the purpose Of placing other can
didates at disadvantage. He says that
one Of the principal hotels y negotiating
now with Tilden for two hundred rooms.
Inquiry at different hotels regarding
these statements elected the fact that
the Gibson House has received tele-
gram from Albany asking that two hun
dred rooms and sixty parl0rs be secured
presumably in the interest of Tildsn.
The hotel has not acceded to the rs.
quest. The information in Democratic
circles here Is that Tilden will make
every possible effort to secure the nomi.
nation tor himself.

SenatOr Bayard and that Speech.
The Washington correspondent Of the Bull
letin say's.l
Senator Bayard declines to say any.
thing about the publication of some of
his old speeches regarding the war.
He did not think it was becoming in
him to do so. Among MIR. Bayard's s
friends the matter has bee1 good deal
discussed, and the probable effect upon
his chances for obtaining the Democra.
tic nomination. One of these said that
he did not see what the master. spirit
who was back of these attacks expected
to accomplish. Mr.. Bayard was symp-
athizer with the Southern cause, and
all his friends knew it. There was no
secret about it, and the republication of
his old speeches at this time would only
serve to strengthen his candidacy in
the South. He would not be weakened
in the North by the 1 publication, and
if Mr.. Tilden is at the bottom of the
matter, as he probably is, he has made
a big political mistake.
