The Boomerang Man on Boilers.

The roller skate is a maynard little
Quadrup6d, 1t is as froliGSome and
more innocent looking than a lamb,
but for interfering with ones upright
attitude in the community it is perhaps
the best machine that has appeared in
Salt Lake City.
Ones first feeling on standing up on
q pair of roller skates is an uncontrol-
liable tendency to come from together.
One foot may start out taward Idaho,
while the other as promptly strikes out
for Arizona. The legs do not stand by
each other as legs related by blood
should do, but each shows disposition
to set up in business alone, and leave
you to take care of yourself as best you
may. The awkwardness of this arrange
ment is apparent. While they are set
ting up Independently, there is nothing
for you to do but to sit down and await
future Developments. And you have
to sit down, too, without having made
any previous preparation for It, and
without having devoted as much
thought to it as you might have done
had you been consulted in the matter.
One of the most noticeable things at
a skating rink is the strong attraction be-
tween the human body and the floor of
the rink, If the human body has been
coming through space for days and days,
at the rate of a million miles second.
notwithstanding at eating stations, and
not excepting Sundays, when it strikes
the floor we could understand why it
struck the floor with so much violence.
AS it is, however, the thing is inexpli-
cable.
There are different kinds of falls in
vogue att he rink. There are the rear
falls and front falls, the Cardinal VOL
sey fall, the fall one across the other,
three in a pile, and so on. There are
some of the falls that would like to be
excused from describing The rear fall
is the favorite. It is more frequently
utilized than any other. There are two
positions in skating, the perpendicular
and the horizontal. Advanced skaters
prefer the perpendicular, while others
affect the horizontal.
Skates are no respecter of persons.
They will lay out a minister of the Cos
pei or the mayor of the city as readily
as they will short-coated, one-suspeDd-
er boy or giddy girl.
When one Of a mans feet starts for
Nevada and the other for Colorado, that
does not separate him from the door or
break up his fun. Other portions of his
body will take the place his feet have
just vacated with promptness that is
surprising. And he will find that tho
fun has just begnn-for the people look
ing on.
The equipments for the rink are
pair Of skates, cushion, and a bottle
OF liniment.-Laramie Boomerang.

Two Austin men, who were very good
friends, and whom we shall call Bill
and Tom, played game of billiards
yesterday. Bill is first-class player,
but he encouraged Tom to win by pur-
posely playing a poor game. Tom is
not much of player, but he only had
a few points to make to win when Bill
took off his coat, went to work in earn
est, and ran out, much to the disgust of
Tom. When Bill went to resume his
coat, 10 and behold, it was gone.
"What's become of my coat?'
"Just as you made those last ten
points, and ran out, a stranger picked
up your coat and ran out, too," answer
ed Tom, grinning.
'Why didn't you stop him?'
.'Why should I stop him? He didn't
interfere in our game when you ran out;
why should 1 interfere with him when
he ran out with your coat He let you
make your points. why shouldn't I let
him make his point. The stranger let
you beat me, why shouldn't let him
beat you out of your coat, particularly
as he got his cue from you. "-Tsras

Sketches Of Jay Gould, the railroad
hnancier, have referred to his editor
ship of country weekly and his com.
pilation of a history of Delaware coun-
ty; but back of these is a literary pro-
duction of his now for the first time
given to the public. 1t was contrib
uted to a lady's album in 1855, when
he was about 10 years old, and is as fol-
lows:
An invitation to dedicate an album, al
performance of which cannot but afford me
the highest qualification, but the pleasure IS
somewhat alleged by the reflection of my
own inability to perform it appropriately.
1t is, indeed, question of dispute with
sol some whether men ought, as they say, to
Dy any OF the finer feelings that actuate the
human bosom, lest its congenial and capti-
waiting influence should pervert the self
styled noble calling of man. They claim
that it is for him to mingle in business, to
become absorbed in politics, in aggrandize-
| ment and worldly gain, leaving the cultiva-
ton of friendship to wither and die. To
| such shall offer no apology. trust their
communicating influence will never disturb
the harmonious union Of that constellation
fulgent rays of friendship from the sue
cessive pages of this lady's album; their
scared cOnsciences are deadened to all tho
finer feelings and insensible to happy infiu-
ences of friendship, to them virtue is but an
echo, and moral worth but an apology. Yes,
there are finer and nobler sentiments that
| pervade the society of congenial spirits and
the purest and nOblest of them all is friend
ship-it is the strong undercurrent of So
ciety-a mutual feeling which kind looks
! and gentle words can alone beget; unseen;
unpretending; so tender, so pure, that the
slightest breath of discord may blight and
destroy; yet so strong that by its slight in
fluence it holds society and nations by
stronger bond than can else armed hosts or
stringent laws; so strong that it could In
duce Saviour to come from the abodes of
light and Joy and peace, to atone, by Bit
ter death, for the sins Of ungratefuf and er-
ring man. To friendships shrine then, let
this token be offered. Let her monument
be erected upon every page-may the senti-
ments, the signatures, and the familiar
writings in after years renew upon memo
RVS tablet many pleasant associations, in
| separable links in the historyof the past and
may not a shadow of pain or cloud of s0r-
row ever gather in the horizon of the future
to mar your happiness or waver your con-
fdence in those in whom you confide.

Language Of the Umbrella.

One of the funny writer's of the day
has said that there is language Of
umbrellas as we'll as of flowers. Fol
instance, place your umbrella in a
rack, and it will indicate that it is
about to change owners. To open it
quickly in the streets means that
somebody's eye is going to be put out,
to shut it, that q hat or two is going to
be knocked Off An umbrella carried
over woman, the man getting moth
ing but the drippings Of the rain,
means courtship; when the man has
the umbrella and the woman the drip
pings, it indicates marriage. To
punch your umbrella into a person and
then open it, means l dislike you. To
swing your umbrella over your head
signifies I am making nuisance of my.
self. To trail your umbrella along the
footpath means that the man behind
you is thirsting for your blood. To
carry it at right angles under your arm
signifies that an eye is to be lost by the
man who follows you. To open an UNI.
brella quickly, it is said, will brighten a
mad bull. To put cotton umbrella by
the side Of a nice silk one signifies ex.
change Is no robbery. 10 purchase an
umbrella means am not smart, but
honest. To lend an umbrella indicates
I am a fool. To return an umbrella
might mean something if anybody ever
did it. To turn an umbrella in gust
OF wind presages profanity. To carry
your umbrella in q case signifies that
it is a shabby one. To carry an open
umbrella just high enough to tear out
mems eyes and knock off mems hats
signifies am woman. To press an
umbrella on your friend, saying ooh
do take it; I would much rather you
would than not, signifies telling-a lib
To give friend half Of your umbrella
means that both of you will get wet
To carry it from home in the morning
means it will clear Of.

Newfoundland has a great future
before her, in the opinion of an English
traveller Contraryto the general opin-
ion, the climate is salubrious. Its fish
cries yield $4,5O0,000 a year, and its
mines produce 45, 900 tons of copper an
nually. Including the inhabitants of the
coast of Labrador, its present popula-
ton is 100000, Of which $4,000 are en-.
gagged in the fisheries.

A shoemaker Of Hubbard CITY is abou,

A shoemaker of Hubbard City is about
to patent most useful invention. He
calls it patent garden protector. It
consists of two pieces Of hard wood,
each about ten inches long, sharpened
at one end and having a hole bored in
the other. These are to be tied to the
legs OF chickens that infest the gardens
with the sharp ends of the sticks in such
position that they will drag behind.
Then, when the chicken attempts to
scratch, the sharp ends of the pieces of
wood will stick in the ground, and thus
walk the chicken right out of the gar
den in spite of itself.

The following sentences from the Gin
cinnati Enquirer report of the Planters
House fire in st. Louis are aptlY sup-
gestive as to the management Of fire de-
partments. .'The Waterman ran to the
corner of the hotel and pulled one Of
the new fire-alarm boxes. In Just one
minute and thirty seconds from that the
frc-engines were on the ground. This
quick work saved the main structure.
for had the fremen arrived moment
later the fire would have been beyond
control Even as it was, there was
great blaze, and it looked as though
there was to be another holocaust. This
vindicates the creased pole, the harness
snaps, the electric opening of doors and
christening Of straps, the drill, and ev-
cry other appliance and practice about
a well-regulated fire engine house,
which to many people seem to be little
better than expensive nonsense. Here
is a case where matter Of one minute
in time saved a building and very likaly
prevented the loss of many lives.

States-New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
ILLINOIS, Massachusetts,, Iowa, Michi.

cast an electoral majority; and they are

full, however, whether the Republicans
can carry New York, Ohio, and others.
New York casts sc votes, Ohio 20,
and if those 50 votes are cast for the
Democratic ticket, the Republican
chance would be poor. The great
fight therefore is likely to be in New

A correspondent OF the La3elle Stlr
gives brief report OF the proceedings
st a colored picnic held at that place
on the 10th INST. One Of the speakers,
Rev. Orange, OF LaGrange, closed his
address with the following sensible
sentences:
II now conclude with recalling the
happiest feature Of our age and that
is the progress Of the masses OF the peo-
ole IN intelligence, self-respect and all
the comforts vi life. What contrast
does the present form with the past.
Not many ages ago we were net per.
mitted to meet and enjoy ourselve, as
we do now. Let us thank God for what
We have gained, but let us net think
everything gained. How much re-
mains to be done? What vast amount
OF ignorance, intemperance and coarse
ness may still be found among us?
What vast amount of mind Is palsled
and lost? When we think that every
hou, Sc might be cheered by intelligence
and refinement, and then reflect in
how many houses the higher powers
and affections OF our human nature are
buried as in tombs, what darkness
gathers over society. And how few If
us are moved by this moral desolation.
Hon few understand, that to raise the
depressed, by wise culture, to tn e dig
nifty Of men, is the highest end ofthe
social state.
Shame on us, that the worth OF a fell
low creature is so little felt. | would
that could speak with an awakening
voice to the people, oftheir wants, their
privileges, and their responsibilities. |
would say to them, you cannot without
guilt and disgrace stop where you are.
The past and present call on You to ad-
vance. Let what you have gained he
an impulse to something higher.
Your natures are too great to be |
crushed; You were not created what
you are, merely to toll, eat, drink and
sleep like the interior animals. If you
will, you can rise. No power IN socie-
ty, no hardship in your condition. can
depress you; keep you down in know
ledge, power, virtue, or influence but
your own consent. Do not be lulled to
sleep by the batteries which you hear,
as If YOUR participation IN the national
sovereignty makes you equal to the no.
blest of your race! You have many
and great Deficiencies TO be remedied;
and the remedy lies not in the ballot
box, not the exercise of your political
powers, but in the faithful education
OF yourselves and your children. These
truths you have often heard and sleep
over,
Awake! resolve earnestly on self cul- !
ture; make yourselves worthy of the |
free country IN which you live, and
strengthen and perretuate it by your
intellipence and ynn1 yIrtnes" |
