CONGRATULATIONS

IL,
of the United States supreme court, and ex.
Governor B. Gratez Brown were three wild
and 1ed- headed boys who lived near togeth-
er and attended the same schoo! in Frank
fort, KY.
One of the entries to the dog show now
in progress in New York City died on Mon
day before the show opened. The entry
was represented by vacant cage, lined
with maroon colored satin. skillfully pad
ded, and provided with mat of soft
wool. On a card with wide black border
was written: "Died April II, 1882. Please
don't touch the satin Innings of the box"
The south is land of roses. In Missis.
sippi gentleman has growing and in bloom
at his house q sLamarque rose vine 80 feet
long. The stem is eight inches through in
the thickest part. 1t was planted Is or Is
years ago. 1t is tWined around q veranda,
and its gorgeous clusters of cream tinted
roses are splendid to behold. In one p1i-
vate garden at New Orleans there are as
many as one hundred different kinds of
roses all in bloom.
A recent graduate of the university of
Cambridge, England, gave DR.. Lyman Alb
bolt as his estimate of the total expenses of
an undergraduate for full year, including
the long vacation, the sum of $1,000. DR.,
Abbott says the English college student is
the university gentleman" No student
smokes in the streets; no gentleman stu.
dent drinks at bar; drunkenness is rare.and
disgraceful; the wine parties that Tom
Brown used to attend are going out of fash
ion; college rows and ecrapes are things of
the past; the ancient brawls between town
and gown are no more known; hazing is
unheard Of" The sentiment is that it is
worse to be vulgar than to be wicked.
The following is taken from bona fide
translation of q German work, Legends of
the Rhine" into English. This book is
published at Mayence for the benefit of
English and American tourists. 1t is hard
ly necessary to add that the translator was
German: The dreamy beautifully situat-
ed small town was set up on an eminential
hill. Here dwelt Hildega1de, but she
threw forth no jubilation, for her father was
early widoWer. aud she mourned furious
ly too early lost mother. Hildegards
loved far-residing knight and was there
fore by the effected with shiov seldivion
of her fathers gold impetuously cheated. I"
The Russian despot has cut this from an
American paper and is showing it around
among the offski's and owski's: For nine
years Sacramento mayor failed to pay the
interest on the city debt. A member of Il
banking firm in this city, taking advantage
Or the depreciation caused by the failure to
pay interest, bought $146, 1000 of city bonds
at eighteen cents on the dollar. The May
or, on some pretext, cashed $3s 200 of
bonds belonging to himself out of the
treasury, and the banker sold his bonds in
Germany at hfty-six cents on the dollar
The net result Of failure to pay the interest
1923, 900 profit to the mayor. $55 200 profit
to the banker, and an increase of 5000, 900
city debt"
The French, now that they have repub-
lie, don't seem to care TO keep it going. A
cable special says: "All Thoughtful minds
have been disagreeably impressed by the
growing tendency of the electors to neglect
to make use of their right of voting. The
abstention at elections were great
er than ever before At Toulouse not
single vote was recorded. At Lyons,
Marseilles and Rouen barely one-tenth
part OF the electors registered went to the
polls"
Many dressmakers in New York loan
money on interest to customers. That's
where the skeletons come from. The
skeletons are secret books of the house. On
one page Of them is entered the actual in
debtedness OF the customer for dresses. On
the opposite page are the loans. Every
month the books of the business are made
up from these skeletons, the money loaned
being charged to the dressmaking account.
There is one lady whose spring bill will be
over 1000, and less than $4,000 is for
dresses.
There are many men who would not 90
to the polls, because they have no acquaint-
ance with the candidates, and many more
stay away because they are acquainted with
them. Some men who want to be good
citizens vote for certain candidates on the
recommendation Of friends, and are aston
ished. when they happen to come in con-
tact with the official their vote had helped
to elect, to find him an insolent or stupid
fellow, if not an out-and-out rascal. The
voter who knows just how to vote properly
in city is almost statesman.
