An Unfortunate Memory.

Yesterday afternoon as Col. Montrose
was about to enter the door of the Capi-
tol, on Austin Avenue, q man who was
trying to get out ran against him with
such violence that he came very near
making hole with his head in the Col
sonel' s stomach.
What are you trying to do?'' asked
the Colonel, as soon as he was able to
catch his breath.
You must excuse me, but was IN .
great hurry to get out. A legislator is
making q speech. y
''Wh hat makes you dislike hearing it. =
..Well, you see, have wonderful
memory. I never forget anything
hear. The speech is full of bad gram
mar, and otherwise Objectionable. If
had listened to it, would have been
obliged to remember itall my life, hence
/ was anxious to hear as little of it as
possible =
Col. Montrose sympathized with the
man with good memory, and, also,
stated that if the speeches did not 20,
into one ear and out of the other with
him, he, too, would steer clear Of the
Capitol. TEXAS Siftiasqs.

it is positive boon. The fact is,

it is positive boon. The fact is,
rents have during the past two or
three years b.e1, screwed to such a
point that a reaction was bound to
set In. Fortunate are those owners
who read the signs Of the times and
profit by them, by reduci ng rents
moderately and granting long leases.
In Brooklyn the spectators are al.
ready at work in view Of the ap-
preaching completion Of the East
River Bridge. A leading real. estate
man tells me that in nearly every
instance where desirable property
is involved rents will be raised all
the way from ten to twenty per
cent. OF course in the language
Of the poverb the early bird catches
the worm, but in this case the very
forward spectators are likely to be
beaten. Brooklyn never has been
a place much fancied by the aver
age man or woman accustomed to
New York life. The reason why
so many people have taken to it as
place Of residence was on account
of the comparative cheapness of
rents as compared with New York.
When this ipducement ceases to
exert its influence, tile sister city

An old landmark is about to be
doomed. This is the little coffee

thirty years it has welded its be-

patrons consist mainly Of car driv-
ers and newspaper men. Here
Greeley and Whitelaw Reid, Ray.
mond and a host of the other jour n
alists, artists, musicians and actors,
have sat in the small hours of the
morning after the work was over
discussing the events of the day,
over fragrant cup Of coffee and
biscuits, which were white without
the use ofarsenic.All tamousrest aur-
ants have some one dish for which
they are particularly noted. Hitch.
cocks is noted for its coffee and

wealthy in dispensing them, and
his guests have gained in happi-

granted by the United States au-
thorities to citizens Of Maine dur.
ing the year beginning May, l.,
1882, is |. 1852. It is estimated that
1000 persons in the State are en-
gagged in the liquor business with

OF these official statistics, we are
told that prohibition has practically
put an end to liquor selling

neer Press truthfully says, ''There

What difference there is in the ways
of a mans and a woman s falling on the
ice. A man will go sprawling all over
the sidewalk, and after kicking about
like crab with the shaking palsy for
two or three minutes, will finally get up
with thoroughly demoralized air, his
raiment covered with dirty snow and his
mind full Of maledictions; but woman,
bless her! When she falls she sinks
down with courtesy into neat and
compact bundle, and before you know
it is on her feet again, sailing swiftly
away, with a seraphic smile on her face,
sunshine in her heart, and not so much
as suggestion of her downfall on her
clothing. Boston TRANSCRIPT

Emma Abbott.

The sale of seats for the Emma Abbott
Opera company's performance at the Ope-
ra house the first half of next week will
begin this morning, and the Indications
point to an exceedingly lively demand for
places. This company's performances are
always among the most enjoyable of the
season, and a number of circumstances
combine to give promise of especially
brilliant performances in the coming en-
gagement. Miss Abbott is this season do
ing better work than she has ever done be-
fore. She is singing in excellent voice
and has the aid of the largest and best
company that has ever given her support.
The operas to be presented are attractive
in every instance. "King for a Day." to
be given Monday evening, is a work of
phenomenal beauty. "Iolanthe." the new
Gilbert & Sullivan opera, is the ruling mu-
steal sensation in this country and Eng
land. 1t is widely advertised that the Abb
bott company's presentation of it is the
best it has yet had ''Trovatore" and "Son-
nambula," which will be given Wednesday
afternoon and evening, are standard and
popular works. That the season will be a
successful one is foregone conclusion. 1t
will be well to make early application for
seats.

A suit was commenced in the district
court yesterday by H. S. Fairchild against
Arthur H. Rogers, in which the plaintiff
seeks to recover $4,000. The plaintiff al
leges that the defendant placed in his
hands for sale certain property on the
northwest corner of Robert and Fourth
streets; that he (Fairchild) was to have all
he could get for it over $4,000; that after
thus putting the property in Fairchild's
hands to sell, the defendant went to work
and sold it himself to Ferdinand Willius
for $37, 800 as is stated in the deed, but in
fact, as Fairch1ld alleges, he got $4,000
for it. The plaintiff alleges that he could
have sold it for $4,000 and would have
done so if he could have been let alone and
not interfered with. He therefore asks
ethe court to award him $4,000, the differ
ence between $4,000 and $4,000.
