am going to be a school-teacher and
make the boys do the ciphering," was
the reply.

A. little boy was sitting by the bed of
his grandmother, who was very ILL.," All,
my poor child" she said, II am very
bad; am going to die" He looked very
much mystified for a few minutes, and

A Denver tailor anxious to get the
views Of the press of that city on the SUBJ
ject of knee-breeches, asks, among other
questions, "Would YOU object to wearing
them?" One of his letters found it's way
to Mrs. c. NJ. Churchill, editor Of the
Queen Bee, who Was in Bohemian last sum-
mer. Those who know her can do
naught but shudder for the luckless
tailor
Bert F. Blake, the young man arrested
on Wednesday On a charge of lascivious
conduct preferred by Jennie Chandler,
girl of fifteen years, whom he pretended
to engage as an office assistant, was ex-
amined yesterday afternoon before Judge
Bailey and held to the grand jury in
$500 bail, which he failed to furnish. The
testimony of the girl herself was of the
most damaging character, and his own
story was such as to warrant the court in
laying that fouler case or one more de-
serving of the hand of justice had never
been put upon the docket of the judici-
airy. Pike, the partner, repudiates Blake,
and is playing proper with those in au-
Press.
Mrs. John A. Logan is a beautiful
woman and she has got great deal of
wit, and she knows how to get even with
those who are too smart, The ladies
who assisted the president to receive, on
January LIST seemed to ignore Mrs. Bruce,
the colored wife ofex-Senator Bruce, and |
the poor lady sat in a corner like a |
bronze statute. Mrs. Logan took her by |
the hand and led her up to the thirty
five ladies and introduced her to all of |
them in manner SO sweet and at the |
'ame time so sarcastic, that they all smil.
I'd upon the colored woman but it did
seem as though they would like to free
their minds on the female senator from
illinois. Mrs. Logan is a woman that
will not be trifled with ifshe knows it, as
ong as John is liable to be candidate for
president
The dispatch in the papers last week
o the effect that Pullman conductors
lad been arrested for robbing the COM
AMY caused a broad smile on many faces.
The idea that those meek and lowly con-
luctors, that always look as though they
lad not gall enough to any more than
'uuch ticket, and who do the fifteen
minutes, work required of them and then
o off in a corner and are not seen again
ntil the car arrives at it's destination,
hould become highway robbers, seems
idiculous. Some wicked and designing
ersons must have lured the Pullman
onductors into the scheme, for they
ever could have originated case of
obbery. The presence of a conductor
n Pullman car has never been believ-
to be necessity by passengers, as the
orter does all the work, and gets all the
honey, while the conductor looks out
le window and signs.
