a. Fashion is often the result of acci-
dent. A South End woman's hat blew
off the other day and was run over by
horse car, hack and a wheelbarrow,
besides being stepped upon four times,
before she recovered it. She had to
wear it home, though, and seven milIi-
ners who saw it thought it was new
style and went to making hats with
just such jams in them, and they went
off like hot cakes.

A Silent Partner.

pr. y is an eminent physician of
Philadelphia, and as is often the case
with eminent physicians, is brusque and
overbearing in manner. Among his
office patients one morning was a gem
tleman who, after occupying exactly
five minutes of the great mans time,
took ten dollar note from his pocket
and inquired the amount of the fee.
Fifty dollars" said the impatient
medical man. The patient demurred
little, whereupon the physician rudely
remarked: swell what do you expect
to pay? Give me what yeu have got"
and on receiving the ten dollar note
turned scornfully to his negro servant
and handing the money remarked;
"That is for you, Jim;". but lost his
temper still more when his patient
coolly said: "I did not know before
that you had a partner. Good morn
ing, doctor"

LOCAL MATTERS.
The Railroad Landing.

On Tuesday evening, the City Council
met to hear the views Of Judge j. II.
Kepnard, the Attorney and a Director
Df the N. O. Pacific Railway Company,
kregarding an ordinance submitted by
president Wheelock, wherein the Gem
ppny seek to obtain the lease of GER
ta On portions of river front and batture-
for landing for q transfer boat and d
railroad depot.
Judge Kennard desired to preface his
remarks by the statement that he was
in no way authorized to confer with the
Council on the subject under eonsidera.
ton. He desired merely, as friend of the
Company, to know what were the Oh
eetions, if any, to the adoption of the
ordinance.
Several objections were made known
to him by the Mayor and CounciImen,
who, however, expressed their willing
ness to facilitate the Company as far rs
the engagements Of the City towards
other parties would permit.
Judge Kennard spoke of the self-evi-
dent probability that the n. o. Pacific
Company, after its main line is finished,
will strive to bring to it as many feeders
as possible, and that one starting from
Baton Rouge, passing through the rich
cotton counties of Mississippi, would be,
in his opinion, the most desirable to
the Company, In support Of his views
he pointed to the Arkansas road, which
the Company had commenced to build
from Alexandria to Little Rock, which
in about twelve months would give di-
rect line to st. Louis, west Of the Mis-
sissippi.
Baton Rouge, the Judge added, was
most favorably situated aud would doubt
less be an important objective point for
the great feeder he had mentioned. He
therefore asked the Council not to look
/ on the branch road across the river as
I the end of the undertaking of his Com
ipany. The future, he believed, would
soon bring about developments Of great
or magnitude.
At tho close of Judge Kennard's re-
marks, the Council deferred action on
the ordinance until further conference
! Is had with the officers of the Company.

Statistics of Brain Work.
New York MALL

Some curious statistics of brain work
at relative ages have been collected by
DR.. Beard in his new book on American
Nervousness. Lord Bacon began ut the
age of l6 to think independently on great
matters and published twelve of his es-
says at 36, and he devoted an old age to
scientific reasearch; Descartes began to
make out his system OF philosophy at 20;
Seheillng was brilliant lecturer at "A,
and had published many of his most i'm
portant works by the time he was 27;
Dryden was doing some of his best work
ut the age of 10, and Swift when he was
20; Rlskin wrote the principal part of
his Modern Painter when he was only
2S; Thackery wrote Vanity Fair at 80
and 81; Dickens the Pickwick papers at
%. Emerson published the first Of his
essays at 3S. Handle composed his first
opera at 20. Luther was Doctor of Di-
vinity at 20. Carlysle's best work was
done after he was A. Geethe said to
Eckerman: "We must be Young to do
great things" and he publisliedithe Sor-
rows of Werther when he was but 20,
but as if % correct his apothegm, did not
complete his Faust until his S2d year, a
wear before his death. Luther said
NIf man is not handsome ALTO, strong
at 30, learned at 40, and rich at 30, he
will never be handsome, strong, learned
or rich in this world" Dr. Beard main
tains that statistics supply this prophecy
with remarkable tultillment. ''
