THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

 Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming; Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight Der the ramparts we watched were SO gal lanty streaming; And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
 Oh, say, does the star-spangled banner
 yet wave
 Der the land of the free and the home
 of the brave. On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where's the foe's naughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, OCT the tower ing steep, As it htfully blows, half conceals, half dis closesp Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first b am, In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream.
 lis the star-spangled banner Oh,
 long may it wave
 Ger the land of the free and the home
 of the brave And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battles con- fusion, A homo and a country should leave us no more2 Their blood has washed out their foul foot steps pollution; No refuge can save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave;
 And the star-spangled banner in
 triumph shall wave
 Der the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh, thus be 1t ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and wars desola- tion; Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the power that hath made anu preserved us 8 nation. Then conquer VIC must when our cause 1t is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust. And the star-spangled banner in
 triumph shall wave
 Der the land of the free and the
 home of the brave.

 II don't see what makes it a curi- osity," answered Mrs. Jones, shortly.
 "Did you ever see oneP" asked Jones.
 "No; but I've seen a man eating pumpkin pie, and whole crowd look ing at him."
 Then Jones laid down his paper and explained that a man-eating shark was a large fish on exhibition at one of the markets.
 "So you said, answered Mrs. Jones, calmly, "and if the man prefers shark to other fish, don't see as it's any body's business but his own."
 Then Jones tore out handful of bis hair. and remained silent

WHAT LONDON Ears. The city of London alone eats in one year butchers' meat to the value of S250, 000, 900. Lon don consumes in the year about 400, 900 oxen, 100000 sheep, l90,000 calves, 250, ,000 swine, 5000, 900 head of poultry and game, 400, GOO, 900 pounds of fish, 500, 900, 900 oysters, 100000 lobsteu and 5000, GOO salmon. The railways that feed the market and serve to distribute the produce arc all below the surface, thus practically doubling the amount of space allowed. Great elevators go up and down between the market floor and that of the railways.

A NEW RAILROAD.

While our citizens have been waiting
anxiously for cews from the A., NJ & ST.
&c. r. R. enterprise, it is within the range
of possibilities they may be surprised by
the advent of road into Austin from an
unexpected direction. 1t is well known
the Illinois Central R. r. has a branch
running to. Mona, Iowa, about Is miles
below Austin. Now it is claimed by Oh
serving parties, that the Illinois Central
contemplates pushing directly north and
entering the capital city ut West St. Paul.
Last Thursday evening an ordinance
passed the St. Paul Council unanaui-
mously granting to the Minnesota &
Northwestern Railroad Co. the right to
construct and maintain its tracks upon
the levee in the Sixth ward. The said
company to commence the construction
of the railroad before June, 1884, and
expend $50, 900 in construction within the
ward during the year, the entire line to
the northern boundary of the state to be
| completed within two years. 1t is thought
the Co. will commence the work of grad
ing in the spring. All this is denied
stoutly by the Illinois Central officials,
and yet it is evident something is in the
wind. from the fact that numerous sur.
veys have been made.

Etiquette of the Street Car.

In an editorial on Etiquette of the
Car" the Philadelphia Times, among
other things, says; 1.-THE man who
sits with his legs across, his elevated
foot serving as q kind of trip for
everybody going out or in of the car,
the man who sits with his knees
spread out twice the width of the
single seat he pays for is also getting
his abuse. The dude who sits side
ways legs across and all, looking out
of the car window, taking at least
three seats when he only pays for enc
ia to be Strengthened out. And the
women who allow their skirts to take
twice as much room as the women
themselves and refuse to contract
them are to be made to ''sit ~ close"
and begin to behave. The trouble is
not merely one of manners or the
absence oil them, but of morals. The
average citizen of both sexes has
been thinking so long of his or her
rights that it ia most difficult to III nix
OF the rights OF other people.
