The Girly Carl.

The girly girl, says the Philadelphia
Progress, is the truest girl. She is what
she seems and not a sham and a pre-
tense. The slangy girl has a hard job of
it not to forget her character. The boy
girl and the rapid girl are likewise wear
ers Of masks. The girly girl never
bother about woman rights and woman
wrongs. She is a girl, and is glad of il.
She would not be a boy and grew mp
into a man and vote and go away to war
and puzzle her brain about stocks for a
kingdom. She knows nothing about
business, and does not want IL know
anything about it. Her aim is to marry
some good fellow and make him a good
wife, and she generally succeeds in
doing both. She delights in dress and
everything that is pretty, and is not
ashamed to own that she does. She is
pleased when she is admired, and lets
you see tha. she is. She is feminine
from the top Of her head to the end of
her toes, and if you try to draw her into
the discussion of dry themes she tells
you squarely that the conversation does
not suit her. She is the personiication
of frankness. There is not a particle OF
humbug in her composition. Here is
health to the girly girl! May her num-
bers never grow less.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY "a, 1883.


Roscoe Conkling generally gets one
seat in drawing room. and he gets all
the newspapers he can buy, reads them
and throws them all over the drawing
room in a mass; beside. he always he's a
portmanteau full of law papers, which
he strews all owe every seat in the
d~rawing-room. Conkling is n very vain
traveller, and wants everybody in the
car to look at him. Now, there's Blaine,
he's just the opposite, he always buys
IL whole ~drawing-room and shuts him
self up, and is a very modest, retiring
traveller; but Grant is queer old fellow.
When he was president Of the United
States he nearly always travelled in a
special car; but now, since he has be-
come a private citizen. he travels Just
about the same as ordinary folks. You
can always find Grant in the rear end Of
the car in the smoking apartment with
a cigar in his mouth, and there he sits
with a hand on either arm of his chair,
and smokes and smokes, thoroughly
oblivious of everybody in the car.
But Oscar Wilde took the cake. Oscar
Wilde was more bother than all the
women who ever rode on Il railroad car.
He had an idea that he was the creates,
man that America had aver seen, and he
put on more airs than if he had been the
Gar Of Russia, the Prince of Spain and
the Emperor OF Germany all III one.
Would you believe it, he paid the porter
of the sleeping car to tell the people at
train stopped that Oscar Wilde was in
the car. He was the vainest, most con
ceited mule ! ever saw. He wouldn't
drink water out ofthe glass at the cooler,
but slipped it out Of ii silver and gold
mug he carried with him, and he'd sit
with the tips of his fingers pressed to-
gether and look up ut the roof of the car
as if he was about to offer up a prayer.
Herbert Spencer was the most restless
traveller i ever saw, and Bob Ingersoll is
the best. When Ingersoll enters a car
to go IN a journey the first thing he
does is to hang up his big SLOUGH hat ;
then he commences to make himself
comfortable, and by the time the train
starts he just acts rs If he we're at home
in his study. If there's TO one on the
train he knows it don't take him long to
strike up an acquaintance, and every
body seems glad to know him. He's a
very. jolly and IA very liberal traveller
smokes nearly a. the time on the cars,
and always carries a bundle of choice
Cigars with him.-From a Talk with "A
Conductor.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT

EDITOR DRMocRAT--
We noticed in the proceedings of the
City Council the following resolution
"That the Mayor be authorized to
wait upon G. A. Staples, street contrac-
tor. and offer him the sum of 5000 in
addition to the 5000 already paid him,
making $500 In all, to cancel his con-
tract with the city"
Why is this? If the work does not
suit the Council ut most assuredly does
not suit the taxpayers, out Of whose
pockets the wherewith to pay comes,)
why do they receive it? Why not let
the contractor bring suit if he wishes,
and then we poor down-trodden, over
burdened people would receive some
thing--it it were only lawsuit--for
our money; as it is we get thousand
times worse than nothing;-or it may
be that as they have made a bad con-
tract and wish to act honestly that they
expect to pay this sum out of their pri-.
vate means, if so we have nothing more
to say, but if they force the people to
pay 1t, then their action would almost
do justice to the celebrated star cham
bar of olden times.
The so-called bitches as they are at
present are worse than worthless. We
have examined some of them with the
following result: Some were about 8 or
4 inches deep, some as narrow in places
as inches, and others were deep in
center and shallow at each end, thus
