THE MODERN PICNIC.

"You must wake and call me early; call me

We've . couple of lads to dance, mother, and

And am to run the bar, mother, l am to run

''The boys are perfect gents, mother, though
they're fond of getting high,
So, just wrap up the cartridges and pistols with
the pie.
II any Sunday Schools, mother, should picnic

We're able to knock 'em out, mother, we're

''Oi course there will be rows, mother, II there

When ] serve them all with mugs of froth,
where they've called aloud for beer;
But what can you expect, mother, when a

Who would rather fight than eat, mother, who

"If ] shouldn't como home at all, m6thcr,

The Alligator Fever.
Detroit Free Press,

Detroit Free Press
1t beats all how Northern man does
banker to shoot an alligator Just as soon
as he gets beyond the Ohio river, and
the further South he goes the stronger
grows the feeling. It's sort of s'buck
fever" and nothing will cure it except
the gore of the reptile. A chap from
Rhode Island went down to Biloxi from
New Orleans with the party. Small al
ligators were plenty enough along the
creeks and bitches, and every time the
Clam State man saw one he almost kick
ed his boots off. He tackled everybody
around Biloxi for an alligator hunt, and
he finally paid a darkey S3 to drive him
to lake four or five miles away, where
the saurians We're said to be numerous
enough to crowd each other out of the
water. The boys had been over in the
morning and fixed things. A rope was
tied to either end of a water soaked log
and led into the bushes. and no sooner
had the hunter got down and discover
ed movement in the water than he
opened fire. Oats yer game, boss
said the darkey as he seated himself in
the shade, and the way the old log was
bombarded was caution. The man
made eve shots. and line shots, and
dead shots. and after he had fired about
twenty-five times he began TO wonder
why his game didn't turn toes up.
Takes heap o lead, boss. but you
is trubblin' him mighty bad" encour-
aged the darkev. and the bombardment
was renewed with determination to
die in the last ditch. Pretty soon a man
broke from the bushes to the left, and
in voice of authority called out:
"Shooting alligators out of season is
punished by a fine of not less than $40.
.N-o-a,''
How many shots have you fired?,'
'.Only thirty-nine."
Shooting off a revolver in the State
of Mississippi. except in self-defense. is
fine of % for each time. Have you a
permit"
Permit for what?"
..To shoot at Col. Fords alligators.
II not. he can recover damages not to
exceed $500. Did you cross the tield?'
Yes"
That's trespass. and the fine is not
less than S25. You must come with
met
But. sir-I-r'
Il will bring up my horse and buggy
and you must go 10 the county seat"
The constable started. So did
Rhode Island. They went in opposite
directions. The Rhode Islander came
into Biloxi on canter. settled his hotel
bill without stopping to count the
change, and picking up his satchel he
busted off along the railroad track rs if
called to death-bed. When l found
him in Mobile a few days later he had
shaved of his whiskers and blackened
his eyebrows. He also complained of
lame back and corns ON his feet.

ed around for listeners. If old MissiS-
sippi feels so stuck up over a few ponds

New York, IA Wall street
paper says the meeting of the gov
eminent directors of the Union
Pacific, in Boston, to-day, will be
attended By two of the three, Isaac
II. Bromley being in California.
This recalls the fact that although
appointed nearly year ago, they
have held no formal meeting for
organization yet. Reports credit
them with having prepared series
OF questions, which they want an
swered, and which may throw much
needed light on the affairs of the
company. Yesterday a rumor was
circulated on the street. under the
caption of official, that the Union
Pacific earning for 1882, December
estimated, are $90,O7S,625, against
$30,934,S96 actual, for 1881, an in
crease of 1859. Comparing this
with the financial chronicle table,
we find it does not differ materially
from the statement there made,
with the exception that the figures
qnoted as income for 1881, which is
stated to have been $2,923,S9S, ma
king an increase for the year of
S45S,660. 1t would be pleasing to
most, particularly by the friends
and enemies Of the road, to obtain
from its officers a single statement
that could be accepted without
question.

wreck occurred on the Wabash road
at Olmstead, or near there, this

last night, was ditched south of
Olmstead, Illinois, this morning,
throwing the two passenger cars
down an eight-foot embankment
and setting them on fire, completely
destroying them. The accident Was
caused by a broken rail. Nearly all
the passengers were more or less
hurt, two probably fatally. The
