MOVING DAY,
The Annual 1RIittinEa' Of Those With,
or those Changing Their Renldencos.

OF tnose Gnbuktnk Anetr Realuences'
To-day Is the first Of April, and will be
observed "a usual with appropriate cere'
monies by the Smiths, Jones, Browns,
ClArks, Whites, and the numerous other
unfortunate mortals who have NO homes
OF their own, and are dependent upon
others for place to lay their heads. Year
" this sort Of thing occurs, and yearly 1t
becomes more complicated in proportion
as the population OF the city increases, and
the number OF eligible houses becomes
less. In country town containing only 0
few hundred people, the annual inter
change OF residences Ia attended with very
little trouble, but in city OF 5000 peo-
pie, with suburban depende ncles OF near
" tWo.thlrds Of that number OF people,
this interchange Ia iraught with much an
noyanCs, inconvenience, and, In many
cases with actual difficulty, and they both
antedate and postdRts the doings Of this
'ingloriou"s day. For instance the
Jones want o house with four rooms
and kitchen in 0 certain locality, and
mo other style OF house will suit Mrs..
Jones at all" Well, that style OF house
is desiderstum to hundreds oil other peo-
pIe lust as fnical as Mrs, Jones, and in
The long run Mrs. Jones Ia sure to be lett.
Mrs, White wants bay window and q
bath tub; perhaps Ms. W. will get these,
and then again she mightn't. Mrs. Smith
wants Gommodious back yard In which
the younger Smiths can disport them
selves without being brought into contact
with those "odious Whites" Mr.. Green
wants o house not five minutes walk from
the PostoiIiCs, and his wish has its fTuition
10 a poorly appointed house . half hours
walk off. Very many want TO be near
church, but succeed ultimately In getting
so far off that they manage to sec the
aforesaid house Of worship once In two
months.
The above instances are not ianCiiul
sketches, but are actual occurrences, and
should we give our time and attention 10
a collection OF bona fde incidents In con.
neCtion with the annual knowing time"
interesting volumes could be written on
the subject.
In Wheeling AVERY fair proportion otthe
inhabitants own their own houses, but the
hundreds Of workingmen who are en-
ployed at low wages In the factories, mills
and at low priced hard labor generally
have no abiding place, and few, II any OIL
them, remain more than Ryear In house
and the annually recurring wants Of these
hundreds serve to ComplCate matters and
to render the lst Of April the most detes
table day in the whole year to them.
