Cameo is rare jewel Of q novelist, aud II
the Language Of olivetto we reyGFently ejacu-

Agent Delleville, Of the p, w. & Ky road,
remarked to a'reporter the other day, Ii, an.
swer 10 an inquiry that railroad business
was pretty fair Tor tue season Of theyear, but
there was no particular rush. He intimated
that economy was the order Of the day, and
that expenses were being cut down wherever
they could be without uluring the efficiency
Of the service; and that their sails were being
trimmed Tor MI expected storm this summer.
This reminds tho reporter OF what pFOmi.
nent citizen said to him tho other day about
possible troubles ahead. Strikes, he said, are
starting UP all over tue country, and there Il
u feeling Of dissatisfaction and IestleSness In
the air. 1t means trouble thlSsumMer. Our
prosperity may continue for time, butsome
sort Of financial trouble, am afraid, will
burst upon us before we know 1t. Every.
body had better trim up and be In shape TO
meet II when 1t does come.
The Boards OF Control OF the Water Works
and Street departments, born OF the Heree
fight In the Legislature, will soon be ready
for business, The members Of the Water
Works Board have filed their bonds, and
Harry Caldwell Is engaged in framing a set
Of rules for their government The members
Of the Board OF Control Of the Streets and
Alleys have not met yet, but will on Tues.
day next and file their bonds. Neither
Board Gun do anything until Council ap.
proves the bonds, which will be done At the
lirst meeting. The city expects good results
from these gentlemen, and Judging from
their ability and experience and The prncti.
cal theories they hold In regard to economy,
no one will DO disappointed.
There is great deal Of aesthetic poetry
floating around the city Just now on various
topics. 1t Is the style for every man to bend
his energy and concentrate his talents on
verse or two. Some OF the rhymes scanned
by the eagle eye Of the reporter have Induced
iainting spells with frequent relapses. OF
course It Is all unpretsnlious, and as roughly
constructed US cheap COW shed, but occS-
sionally there Is CLEAN Of sanity that res
cues the author from the dangers OF an
early grave. The following Is given as q sam.
pie Of the verses that are circulating. IN. d

There was young man who kept Lent,
With lntentIOnsthAt were certainly well meant;
But he plnCd aud wasted away,
And tho people for him did pray,
Ills soul Il left, and 70 Heaven was sent.
The attention OF the vigilant policemen Is
respectfully called to an evil that has long
afflicted The city, namely, the vulgar posers
who mar the scenery and obsiruct the side
sidewalks on summer evenings. They are
commonly called "mashers," and frequently
make it unpleasant fora lady and her escort

TO be insulted by some fresh young man
who imagines his charms are perfectly ire

remedy is needed. ln Pittsburgh and Cleve.

class have been arrested for annoying ladies,
and heavily fined. Some treatment OF that
nature here might have salutary effect.
