The proprietor OF restaurant adj
vertised in an Arkansas newspaper
and refused to pay the bill atthe end
of the month, declaring that it was
no benefit, and he would not pay
for what he had not received. Th-
newspaper man demonstrated and
the restaurant man ordered him OFT
of his house. The next issue of the
paper contained few paragraphs
which did not prove interesting to
the restaurant man.
The world has ever been filled
with spiseful rivalry. The man who
started the report stated that he

a slanderer: We. have eaten at this
restaurant, and we can truthfully say
that we never found cat hair in the
hasl, or dog hair in the soup. An
other man, regardless of the truth,
declared on the street yestarday that
he has found three crickets and a
horse-fy in one of Maeleton's bis
cults"
Another paragraph said. ''Macle =.

The restaurant man was SO mad
that he wanted to shoot the editor,

of slander. The editor was arra,ng-

IL view Of the interest in the matter with
us Of Dallas and the steps now being taken
in the direction of paving in this city, it
may be Of general consequence to know
that at this time wood pavement is growing
in favor with the authorities Of London,
For some years it has been In use in isolated
places, but ii is now being adopted in such
prominent streets as Waterloo place, Queen
Victoria street, Pail Mall, East and Downing
street. 0nchalf of st. James street is now
paved in wood, and the other half remains
paved with granite blocks, in spite of u
strong expression of public opinion that
this anomalous condition of affairs should
be righted.

THE total number of representatives now
in congress, as set down last fall, is 9g}. OF
these there are republicans, III; demo-
Gratis, 1876; greenbackers, .; independent, /.
OF the greenbackers, six are classed as re-
pubicans and three as democrats. The
Ohio election has made quite change of
complexion, for last year that state had liE-
teen republican members and five demo-
Gratis. whereas last months election gave
her, under the new census, fourteen demo-
Gratis, six republicans and one contested
case, wherein it is claimed by the demo-
Gratis that their candidate was positively
elected by four votes.
