Seribnpr for March. The March
SCRIBNER opens brilliantly with the
long expected article on THE Tile
Club Afoat, recording its summer ex-
cursion in a canal-boat from New York
to Lake Champlain. There are thirty
nine illustrations members of the club,
chiefly rejecting the spirit of jollity
which has made this association of less
than twenty members conspicuously
popular among artists and literary
men. The interior decorations of the
boat, characters of the tow to which it
was attached on the, Husdon, the Incl
dents by the way. life and scenes on
the tow5path, the personnel and the
domestic life of the club itself, are
among the subjects of serious or hui
morous delineation. Over thirty
pages are accorded to the paper, which
is thought to be superior in interest
and uniqueness to '''fhe Tile Club at
Play" published a year ago in the
same magazine, and acknowledged to
be ''the hit of the season." The ar
lists are Abbey, Chase, Clifford, Rein
hart, Weir, Laffan, Dielman, Hopkin-
son Smith, Quartley, Sarony, Twacht-
man and O'Donovan. The text is by
Lattan and q Edward Strahan."

Possibility of getting the C. &
n. W. Road. We have been shown
a letter received by Mr.. Whitlesey of
Centralia, which leads us to believe
that the branch of the above road,
which the company propose building
westward from Princeton, may posi-
Ely be constructed through or near to,
our cities. The company is very 81
lent, but the intention is, probably TO
run through either, Elroy, Camp
Douglas, Tomah, Necedah. or Grand
Rapids the latter place if the OBJ
jective point on the Mississippi be
north of, or near, Winona. The
manifold advantages we possess ought
to be a sufficient inducement to the
company to make this point. If the
company is wise they will do SO, and
if our people are wise, they will take
measures to insure the coming Of the
line this way

Oyster Bill.

Drunken men often do very cute things
For instance, yesterday afternoon a couple
of farmers were driving in wagon along
the Bardstown pike about six miles out
from the city. They came up even with a
roughlooking and very badly intoxicated
fellow, who hallooed for them to stop.
stranger" he said to the driver, "-hic
I'm Oyster Bill and I'm gettin' kinder
sorry for my sins-hic-I -hic-you'd
better put me in your wagging-hc-and
take me ter Jail. Come on, now, there's
hic-a reward for me-" The farmers knew
all about Oyster Bill by reading the news.
papers, and here was a picnic for them
They boosted the penitent sot into the
wagon and drove rapidly to the Jail. On
the way they furnished him with cigars
and tobacco, kept the mosquitoes off his
head and treated him to something fine in
the way of "pisen."
"Now you're sure you're Oyster Bill p
asked the slicker of the two farmers, a!
they drove triumphantly up to the Jail.
"Oh, yes yer can bet yer boots on that
You get the reward, responded the Oyster
as he cast an envious glance at neighbor
ing saloon.
"Who have we here ?" asked Mr.. Rubel
as the two farmers ambled into the Jail
supporting their drunken friend on eacl
side. "Not word," said the slick farmer
We've got Oyster Bill"
"Oyster fiddlesticksr' was the only reply
"Why, that's nobody but drunken shoe
maker who left his home yesterday to hun
work in the country
"Yes, and rid ter town all the same,
said the sot, With cute grin. "I kinde
guess Im on ter thing or two"
That was all there was of it. The drunk
en- shoemaker had simply got tired O
walking. He wanted to get back to tn
city, and the ruse he adopted is, to say th
least of it, very creditable to a drunkel
man.-LOuisvilic Commercial.
