On the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad night before last there came
very near being n similar accident to
that on the Erie Railway, and it was
only prevented by the coolness of the
engineer. He heard the wheel crack
and he quickly reversed the locomotive,
put on the brakes ana iunped on the
boiler. The next instant ice of the
driving wheel crashed through the cab
But for his celebrity the train would have
been wrecked.

THE B0Y-..THE CIRCUS.

Appropriate TO the time is the fol.
lowing wait, which is now going the
rounds:
The small boy looketh upon the cir
Gus poster when it is red, white and
blue, and becometh intoxicated with
delight.
For what is it that carrieth more
joy to the heart Of the small boy than
a dead wall covered with circus pos,
tiers?
Echo might answer, a deadhead
t;;oiS2t voToy,I VIII Tbs !oso..I '-t4I!...i.
One
And as the boy gazeth ON the pic
lures of Understandable animals, and
upon the impossible antics of lightly
clothed men and women, his imagina.
ton makoth all the pictures realities
and he is willing to stake his reputa-
ton as IA champion marble player that
the coming circus is the best in the
world
And he longcth to go.
So he is joined by other boys of his
age, and they all gaze upon the pos,
ters and drink in the beauties thereof
And they marvel among them,
selves.
And one hoy seyeth he has never
seen 50 wonderful display of circus
pictures. And they soon fall to spec.
ulating among themselves as to wheth-
er each performer really doeth all the
things which he is represented as
doing.
And another one sayeth he has seen
as wonderful performances as are pic,
tured out on the posters.
But his companions laugh him to
scorn.
So it cometh to pass that the boy
who hath seen all these things is
forced to hold his peace Crowded he
has not devoured iD, for verify the
majority ruleth among the boys.
Soon the all important question
cometh up regarding the prospects for
crawling under the canvass, and they
wax enthusiasts, and in their minds
they are all in the circus on the front
seat, each one having found a good
place to crawl under.
But soon one of their number recol-
lecteth the fact that he was once
caught in the act, and as he dilates on
the canvass men in general, and the
one who collared him in particular,
the courage of the troop oozeS out of
their individual ends.
But the company adopteth prelm-
BILE and resolutions to the effect that
1t Is necessary that each boy attend
the circus.
ANY man who hath ever been Il
small boy knoweth these things to be
true.

This faithful and unwavering advocate of

give the people such information rs will lead

the recurrence Of popular elections show that
a very large proportion of the voters of the

Large ears are usually satisfied
with learning the facts OF case,
with the general principles In

enumeration of details, especially
all repetition of the more unimpor-

with such ears generally like aud

IL have come in answer to your
advertisement for board" said a
nervous old lady to q pert miss Of
Is, as the latter showed her into
the parlor of all the comforts of a
home establish ment on Henry
street. "But I won't come here
unless your house Ia perfectly
quiet, now remember that"
"Quist! we'll, you may smile,"
replied miss. "That noise you hear
now is the dentist In the basemen
pulling out tooth, and he'll get it
out II 1t takes him month. How
much can you afford to pay?"
II think l hear some Que up
stairs shouting" said the old lady.
"Thaps only u young lawyer
practicing a case. You'll get used
to him. Nobody liked it ut first,
but we all got used to it and don't
mind 1t now. Got any children?
We don't take children because
our babies fight 'em So"
mo, haven't. Who's that yell
ing in the next room ?n
"ThaCs the landlord trying to
collect the rent. You know pa is
very deaf aud you've got to howl At
him. You'll have to pay in ad.
vance If you come here"
"Great gracious F.! What's that ?"
calculated the old lady, as q furious
din swept through the lower re-
gions.
81 guess the cook il driving
grandma out Of the kitchen with u
clothes pole. She often does that.
Have you got much baggage ?"
"Sakes alive Somebody's be-
ing murdered up stairs Who Is
1t ?"
"Oh! That's literary fellow on
the top floor. Whenever he writes
anything he squeals like pig.
But he generally writes at night,
and you needn't pay any attention
to him."
"What are your terms ?-good
heaven, the roof has fallen In !"
mo, it hasn't; that's u college
professor, and that's the way he
goes up and down stairs. If you
listen you may hear him break his
neck. CAn you give references &
Anybody know yOu?"
"Certainly; If WAS that a

~ guess so. My cousin has got
a prairie down cellar where he
hunts Indians and buffaloes and
things. Sometimes he Is u road

money Of your Own?"
"Never mind whether l have or
not; l don't think l want room
here, anyway. Let me out, II you
please"
"COuldn't let you have one. any

slide down the balustrade, ''There's
only one empty one, and that's too
high.priced for you; besides. you
don't wear very good clothes and
we prefer not to have you arOund.'
And down the slide she went with

have voted to q man for the much
decorated government nominee
had not the opposition candidate In
bis turn been inspired with bril-.
liant ides. He called a meeting Of
the electors and presented himself
to them in full Magyar costume,
his breast completely covered with
orders far larger, gsudier and more
numerous than those with which
his rival had taken the constituent
cy by storm. His insignia were
only mimic ones, of the conspicu-
GUS kind conferred by ladies upon
their partners In the cotilion. But,
as he did not deem 1t necessary to
impart that fact to the awe stricken
constituents, the latter, quite over.
powered by the interpolation of
his gorgeous decorations, returned
him triumphantly at the head of
the poll.
