Quarrels0me NeighbOrs.

THE Limekiln Club being formally
called to order, Brother Gardner arose
and said: "Doorin' de pas week one
man tole me dat he'd got to move kase
he couldn't stand it wild his nay yburs;
second had got to move kase de nayburs
couldn't stand it wild him; a third said
dat somebody frowed stuns agin his
doah an hurled taters frew his winders,
and fourth had some odder sort o.
complaint. Some folk fink dat de test
of goodness am gwine to church, or Civ
in to charity, but l doan'. l believe
dat mans good an bad pints am de-
veloped in de way he uses his nayburs
an in de way dey like him. If yer nay
burs am bad, let 'em alone; if dey am
good, incouraige 'em. Keep no chick
ems, build no high fences, maintain no
howlin' dogs, have no rows, return all
favors, an your nayburhood will be all
right. If George Washington had tried
to keep sebenty-five chickens on patch
of ground thirty by sixty, wild a garden
each side OBJ him, he could not have bin
de Father of his Kentry. If Henry Clay
had KEEP howlin' dog or brayin'
mule, his oratory would hab bin declar'd
sham. If Benjamin Franklin's wife
had trotted to dis naybur fur flour, to
dat one fur sugah, to de mex for tea, am
so on aroun', de philosophy OBJ Poo
Richard wouldn't weigh ten ounces to

rels among itself. De manners in a

on THE OUTER WALLS
Is again the proud banner OF the b. &
o., aud by another happy stroke Of
enterprise goes to the front.

The Baltimore and Ohio having perfec-
ted all the details of the elaborate series of
improvements it has been making of late,
announces a change in its time schedule to
go into effect on the 22d instant. Under
this new schedule the time between Chica-
60 and the East is greatly lessened. The
afternoon fast line which formerly LEFT at
4:05 now leaves at 5:15, arriving at New
York at GAO the second morning. This is
a solid train rnnning through to Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York without change of cars of any class
whatever. The B. & o. is the the only line
offering this great advantage, as by other
lines changes Of cars are made except sleep
ers. The great convenience of the entire
train running through without change
must be more apparent to those who have
been forced to change cars at unreasonable
hours Of the night and in many ways been
put to no little trouble in getting their
families and baggage from one train to an.
other. There is nothing of this on the B.
& o. for if one SO shooses the car that he
takes in Chicago he may remain in until
he reaches New York city. As all the
eastern lines run trains leaving Chicago at
5:15, it is interesting to note that the B.
& o. train leaving at that hour reaches
Washington whole night in advance OF
the 5:l5 trains on competing roads-or in
| nf fhAr hp lao e.,
Washington via the B. & o. reach there
the next evening, while by taking Other
lines they would not reach the National
Capital until the second morning. The
time from New York to Chicago is lessen
ed an hour, the fast express being due a
7:30 instead Of $50 as heretofore. Their,
is no material change in the departure o
the morning train for the East. Tn,
splendid accommodations offered on tn,
New b. q o. Slcepers and the perfect man
ner in which they are kept up increase thu
concentrations of the travelling public
The B. & o. Sleepers are certainly unex
: celled in everything which tends to rende
such cars luxurious and convenient. Ii
fact in many respects they are superior t.
vny sleeping cars run anywhere. The,
are larger and finer iDievery way, and tn
conductors and porters are gentlemen ii
every sense of the word. The line of ne'
Parlor Cars has just been placed upon th
road and the cars are beauties indeed. Il
their construction they embarce many nov
elites, while in general effect they ar
matchless. The Dining Car Line in an,
out OF Chicago has become very popular
the meals served are Of the very best an
the attendance is all the most fastidiou
could ask for. The Dining Halls on tn
} entire line are now under the immediat
} management Of the company and well de
serve the popularity they have obtained a
the best in the country.

Mayor StOkley's Story.

MAYOR SToKLEY, of Philadelphia,
visited the House of Refuge the other
day, and in the course of speech to the
boys, said:
''There's a little fellow down there
that looks just about the way looked
when was about his age-when was
ten years old. had just about as much
money in my pockets as that boy has,
and don't think he has cent. 1 was
as poor a boy as there was in Philadel-
phia; but made up my mind to work.
My father died, and my mother and my
sister and hadn't roof to cover us. /
started out and got some work, and
when was fifteen was earning dol
lar a week, and slept under counter.
But stuck to my work and l learned a
trade. When was twenty-one fell in
love with girl, and had pretty big
heart and made up my mind to marry
her. had six dollars week and she
earned three dollars with her needle,
and we put the six dollars and the three
dollars together and we got married,
and that girl, l am glad to say, is living
yet. We set up a little shop. She
cooked the oysters and l made the ice
cream, and we worked together, and
worked hard"

Our law is strict against lotteries,
policy games, and gambling of all
kinds, but it is not strictly enforced.
The poor are tempted to loose so much
by the small lottery or policy games
that Governor Cornell has issued a
proclamation warning the guilty op-
eraters, and ordering the officers to
enforce the law. This is right, and
should have been done sooner. Ifthe
working men and woman have moi
the wisdom or moral strength to re-
sist the wiles of the lottery rascals,
then the temptation should be remov'
ed by means of the law. On the
same principle, is it not the duty ol
the State to step in and protect the
weak-minded people who are tempted
and loose their money through the
cunning wiles of Wall and Third st.,
gamblers, who work similar games,
only on a larger scale?

The New York Girl.

Clara Belle writes to the Cincinnati En-
quirer as follows: July and hot weather
have come at once upon the metropolis,
md the fashionable woman feels like cloth
ing he rself simply with q fan. But de-
corum requires that, though she may with
perfect propriety bare all her arms and
much of her body at a winter ball, she
must cover herself completely on ordinary
occasions in summer. Doomed thus to be
fried in her own fat, she endeavors to nit
ieate her own sufferings with linen lawns,
muslins, bastistes, and cotton zephyrs,
those being the favorite fabrics for the pur-.
pose this year. She manages to look COM
Portable, though she isn't. She is really in
a softened nelly state. Kiss her: and her
lips stick to yours like sirup. Hug her,
and she is like big lump of dough in your
arms. She spreads pulpily over the chair
when she sits down, and is only prevented
by her corset from running into q shapeless
, heap, She looks as well as ever-perhaps
bettcr, for the heat makes her rosy; but she
is not so pleasant to take hold of as last
winter. She may bathe her delicate hands
| twenty times q day with cologne, and rub
them over as often with her powder rag,
but they are bound to feel greasy all the
same to the fellow who squeezes them.
Her moist hair will not stay crimped,
and redness can't be driven out of her
nose. Every strap, stay, and band is an
annoyance. She makes frequent changes
of her underclothing discards draw
ers, reduces her skirts to one, uses che
mise Of gossamer stuff, and wears stock
ings so thin that their seeming flesh. colCl
is the real thing showing through; but 1t Is
all in vain.

VENERABLE LIARS.
Discussion Between Two Old Inhabitants
on the Weather.

Discussion Between Two Old Inhabitants
on the Weather.
From the Chicago Times
Some folks seem to think this is warm
weather" observed old Daddy Wotherspoon
to old Uncle Linkinb botnaRl, as the two old
inhabitants stood last Thursday before a
thermometer that registered ninety in the
shade. Pears to me twas worse than
this in the May of '2S, wasn't it?"
"A heap worse, "assented old Uncle Lin
kinbotham, but that wasn't as bad as the
May Of '22. You remember how the tin
roofs melted and run off the houses, and
we had to carry wrought steel umbrellas
through the streets?"
" "Deed do" rcjoined old Daddy Woth-
erspoon, mopping his face with some anx-
iety. II was cut hunting that spring, and
we had to carry our powder in buckets of
water to keep it from going Off premature
II. Wasn't that the spring the hams fried
on live hogs, and the bills melted eff the
snow birds:"
"The same spring, said old Uncle Lin
kirbotham. Il know l was off fishing in
Long Island Sound, and the heat generated
the water into steam SO as to blow our boat
clear over into the woods. That month
was pretty warm, fer ] recollect how the
forest out back of east New York melted
down, and [ had stream of liquid kind
ling running right through My farm. One
Of my boys took q sHig Of it it one day, by
mistake, and when he died in the fall we
found him choke full of splinters. Killed
him."
''Yes, yes, murmered old Daddy Woth-
erspoon, streaming at every pore. "We
used to hang meat and vegetables down
my we'll, and they was cooked in ten min
utes by the watch, and the ancient gentle
man regarded his antagonist with scme tri-
umph.
I'VE tried that" said old Uncle Linkin-
bothum, ''but the head melted the wires
the grub was hung on and the works of the
clock ran all over the floor, SO We couldn't
tell how long it did take to cook. and we
use ice-water to do our billing with"
Where you get your ice?" demanded
old Daddy Wotherspoon, tying handker-
chief around his head to keep his ears
warm.
eve just poured water on the fire, and
the fire was so much cooler than the atmos-
phere that the water froze in minute.
That's now We got our ice. Don't you want
to 60 and drink something to warm you
up?''
IF we can get little good, old brandy,
I'd like it, replied old Daddy Wother-
spoon, with pale lips and clenched fist, I'll
take some proof brandy"
Come along then" retorted old Uncle
Linkinbotham contemptuously. You may
be able to stir your blood with that tipple,
but this weather and the recollection of
May, %, makes me want some hot spice d
rum and fur overcoat. Tomorrow I'm
going to put on extra fannels."
And the two old liars almost killed them
selves that afternoon with hot drinks rath-
er than admit that the Almighty could do
things as we'll now as he did when they
were boys

Bill Nye on Table Etiquette.

If by writing this we can induce one man
who now wipes his hand on the table cloth
to come up and take higher ground and
wipe them on his pants, we shall feel am
ply repaid.
If you cannot accept an invitation to din
ner do not write your regrets on the back
of pool check with blue pencil. This
is now regarded rs ricochet.
A simple note to yonr host informing
him that your washerwoman refuses to re-
lent is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the table draw OF
your gloves and put them in your lap under
your napkin. Do not put them i'll the
gravy, as it would ruin the gloves and cast
q gloom over the gravy. If you have Just
cleaned your gloves with benZine you might
leave them out in the front yard.
Stones in cherries or other fruit should
not be placed upon the tablecloth, but slid
quietly and unostentaciously into the pock
ct of your neishbor or noiselessly tossed
under the table.
Ladies' should take but one glass Of wine
| at dinner. Otherwise there might be diff
! ficulty in steering the male portion of the
procession home.
Do not make remarks about the amount
your companion has eaten. If the lady
who is your company Mt table, whether she
be your wife or the wife of some one else
should eat quite heartily, do not offer to
pay your host for his loss or say to her
Great Scott! hope you will not kill your.
self because you have the opportunity,
but be polite and gentlemanly, even though
the food supply be cut off for week.
If one of the gentlemen drop raw oys
ter into his bosom aud he should have
trouble in fishing it out, do not make fac
tious remarks about it, but assist him tt
find it, laughing heartily all the time.
