Gossip Picked Up About the Streets
and Among the Clubs.
Judge LETTERS is facetious young gentle
man, in his Just administration of city law
in the police court. But he sadly wants q
Bish. General Arthur will scarcely fill the
bill. There is about him stern determi-
nation that will not admit of Bijah's win
ming ways. Jimmy has an Irishman's keen
sense of the ridiculous and humorous fully
developed, but the ether traits are wanting
1t REQUIRES much iirmness to resist the
fearful appeals of certain prisoners and
teach them the rough corners that line the
road of the transgressor, but IN the Cots
Kleinhans case, yesterday, ths judge re-
marked the row had occupied too much Of
the valuable time Of the press, and the pen
atty must be enforced.

1t will look quite natural and a little
like old times to see Col. Ali Caldwell back
in his seat in the Board oil Education. The
Board charges less frequently than Coun-
Gil. its members being elected for longer
terms. The palmy days of the latter body
the regular old halCyon days-are over.
Col. John Habertield is a power, but the
sal man of news, as he greets new faces,
mournS the times gone by. When the
Young eagle of the Second ward locSed
horns with the valiant Hebrew from the
same ,bailiwick; when the Great Commo
ner carried on a rhetorical war with the
gentleman from the gilt edge district;
when the little giant from the North End
picked up the etymology oil the war horse
of the opposite end; when Dr. Logan swung
the gayel in the lower branch and Dr.
Baird swayed the sCepter up stairs; all
gone, and not even the records as read by
the clarion voice OF Little Alex, preserve
the times and manners Of those heroic
meetings.
There are more statesmen. iinancieri and
stree linen. no doubt, than the great 1850
gave birth to, but out Ui hundred or
moSe mere dilettaut, when, when will q
new J. William arise on our ken? He is
gone with the year that hegat him. This
one is to vast and complex for one man
alone to embody its purpose, or hold it
shat close in the palm Ot his hand. But
Barney Galligan comes mlgh'y near TO
doing it.
While the talk is going on, in the State
press, about the new assessment, it might
be an item Of interest to know that one
Wheeling firm returned 100000 more Of
manufactured products than last year, and
one meat firm over $iO,OnO Of cured meat
OIL hand. The farmer it appears, does not
bear all the burden, nor even good pro.
portion of it.

Michael Herrigan is ag-rievcd at the re-
cent article in the Rr"I>TEE in relation to
~ ghoulish sexton" Mr.. IIerrigan need
not be. The article referred to the sexton,
de fq,lo, who did the digging, and as Mr..
Hcrrigan did not do it, no allusion was
made. nor reference made to him, though
ne was the sexton 49, gt0"iD. The man re-
! ferred to by the father of the chile was the
! man he had hired To dig up the corpse.
The DCmOerUt says the father owed for the
coffin and the undertaken who furnished
il proposes to make things warm for i'm,
if he ever set foot in the land OF WetZel.
Further, that the father himself pointed
out the wrong grave, so that no blame can
be attached 10 anybody.
II is refreshing to see the Hat rails at last
being actually laid on the street railway
track That part OF the road that is conf
pleted presents decidedly improved APP
pcarance. A light ca, rage or heavily laden
wagon can now cross the rails at an angle
without danger OF dished wheel. Public
sentiment will be now with the company,
instead OF against ii, us il has been, as 1t
will regard this work as an effort 70 do by
the public that which Is right.
Minnie Hanks concert, tomorrow night,
will draw out line audience. Seats are
well sold up and fashionable house will
greet the first appearance Of the prlma
donna. Wheeling is very singular, in a
musical sense and one can never tell what
To expect in the way Of an audience. Min
ME Hanks manager te!egraphed, last
night, that she would sing tomorrow
evening, the great FreiSehuctz air she is
booked to sing at the Pittsburgh Festival
on Tuesday. Our getting Minnie was an
accident, after all, and lucky one.

Brown will carry Kauawha county by over

amounted to much in the prophecy line,
and his belief was largely ColOred by his
wish He will not he The only man sur
prised when the returns come in from the

Though nothing has OF late been heard
ui the marginal road it stiH remains
green in the minds Of some people, The
request OF the /. W. X. X. Company TO be
re permitted to place track around their
depot on the river side, will be reported
IN ON negatively to Council by the COM
mittec on railroads. The committee is in
cliLed TO believe this track will operate
against marginal railroad. Pretty soon
there will be another howl against the
blocking up of the wharf 10y the T.. w. x
h trans, and some one will inform COun
Cll il is the natural result OF refusing the
road the track room it requested.
Nothing has been heard of the union
road. during the past four months and the
Gigantic railroad ardor has cooled of The
chimera OF new headlights flashing in from
the north has given way to the reality OF
headlights on the south. However, there
| is an indefinite assurance of the coming OF
the South Pennsylvania. The Wheeling
and Like Erie is locked hard and fast at
Bowerston, and Pittsburgh coal pilots have
not yet begun to dread the Union bridge
at the head Of tine Island.
