"A Bad Eye Hash-Generai.S
Life Is earnest, life is real to those in
want Of a good square meal, might well be
said of the strange assortment OF half saw
age human beings who made their appear
ance on Hanover street, yesterday after
noon, shortly after one o'clock. The party
was composed Of four men, four women
and thirteen children, two large and one
small bear, two monkeys and an unlimited
number of boys. The men each led bear
around and the quadrupeds would dance
and keep time to, the, horrid, music
and all were begging. They would
accept anything they could get or steal any
thing they could carry away. They also
had three broken down old horses that
looked as though they were ashamed OF the
company they were compelled to Keep.
The small children were slowed away IN
bags or sacks and slung across the backs OF
the horses, one on each side, while one OF
the women carried a three weeks old in
FAINT slung over her back. They were all
half clad and the dirtieSt, tilthiest and most
odoriferous crowd imaginable. The women
seemed especially TO be utterly destitute
of any show OF cleanliness and decency,
though thew were doubtless precious hours
in the eyes of their liege lords, they were
very repulsive to civilized humanity. The
stencil that arose from the filthy caravan
was horrible, and spoiled Limburger cheese
had to take a back seat. Their story, as
told to REGISTER reporter, was that they
are natives of Constantinople, and started
from New York on their way west about
two months ago They passed through and
succeeded in gathering in good many
pennies, and departed toward the city OF
Bridgeport. -,
Great dissatisfaction exists both with
passengers and employees on the pony ac'
CommOdation on account OF the way 1T Is
run. 1t seems that the orders are to keep
the passenger coach attached 20 the en-
CINE until Martins Ferry is reached, and
while thus coupled together the shifting
and moving of cars is done at Htnaylile
and Bridgeport, making very rough riding
and nearly breaking the necks OF the
passengers. The matter has been referred
TO Superintendent Bruner, and doubtless
will be remeiied at once. -,

And still the ". & l.. L. L. K. comes
not. For twelve long Years hope, which
swells eternal in the human breast whls-
pers ever and anon the w. x l.. f. Il. Z. is
coming for sure, but alas, the promise Is
kept only to the ear TO be broken to the
heart. Why can't we hear what is to be
done? Is the directory living at the
Wheeling end OF the road so poor that the
owners will no longer do them reverence
by letting them know the exact status OF
things, or are they like Bismarck, treating
il as great state secret too much for ay-
erage intelligence to digest.
