duty to relieve the public mind of eron-
eous impressions. He says at. L. Mann
has just put up a handsome ohe-story
dwelling" which is erroneous in thatlit is
Mr.. Chas. Mann who has built the house.
Also, "Mr. NJ. j. Overhuls has now got
his new building enclosed and will soon
have it completed. 1t will be occupied by
Mr.. r. E. Nyswander, we learn, as dry
goods store" 1t is VIM. Overhulls who
is erecting the building and il will not be
completed before fall. AS to Mr.. Nys-
wander occupying the building, Mr.. o.

rangements.

suitable buildings, un an extensive scale,

mile above the bridge, and in about two

MENTAL OBSERVATION.

Mir. Jaiman was arrested for carrying a pistol. In his defense before a justice of the peace, he said:
 Your honor, this is mistake.n
 .' Evidently" the judge replied. Every evil course, when overtaken, is a mistake
 It was absent-mindedness on my part. This morning just as was starting to come down town, went up to the mantle piece to get my pipe. In a moment of mental abstraction, thinking of something l had to write for a magazine, 1 took up the pistol instead of the pipe and came away"
 Your explanation bristles with rea- son" said the justice. "Nothing is more natural than for man to mistake a pistol for pipe, in that both are fire arms"
 The prisoner thought that he detected the low swelling notes of sarcasm, but, being hberal-minded, he presented the judge with the benefit of the doubt and continued
 Il did not discover the mistake until after came down town. Then, wanting to smoke, l took out the pistol. A con- stable, who happened to be standing near. came forward and arrested me-"
 Your line of reasoning is well kept up,' said the judge, but there are few features of this case which are not en- tirely divested of mystery. The officer says that when he saw you in a saloon, you had drawn the pistol and was at tempting to maui man over the head with it. You still thought it was pipe, l suppose !'
 "Yes, your honor. You see, have a very large pipe, and often have used it as weapon of defense. would rather strike a man with pipe"
 A good strong one," suggested the justice.
 "Yes, sir. would rather strike man with good strong pipe, than to hit him with hammer"
 No doubt" replied the justice, "but there are times when the hammer is handler. Mir. Constable, take the gentle man over and show him a hammer that looks like pipe. Don't strike the rocks too hard; you might break 'em."

MR. TiLDEN, who is pretty we'll ac- quainted with the condition of his own health, declares his physical inability to endure the fatigues of presidential cam paign, to say nothing of the mental worry in enforcing his ideas of reform should he be elected. This, it would seem, for ever settles the question of his return to political life. In his able letter, recently published throughout the country, he speaks with mental vigor of his bodily in- 6rmities, and sadly says that his career as a public man has forever closed. There are few men, if any, upon whom the mantle of this great constitutional lawyer can properly fall. It would be pretentious masquerade for the office seeker to wrap it about his shoulders. The average presidential aspirans would appear as dwarf, arayed in the garb ot . giant.

PROMINENT newspapers throughout the country are now making special features of short stories from prominent writers. This is the English idea. but like many an idea which VI get from the English, is worthy of adoption. Wnters of good short stories are not numerous, neither in this country nor in Eneland The production of short story requires quite as much literary skil as the pso- duction of a novel in fact, more dramatic ability is required, since the incidsats q . short story cannot be drawn out, svsa though the writing be plsasaae The violent political papers are passing away. Ths public, uniss the maeasr b of great importance, no loaess carss to red six or sevsa columns of po1itical "stuG." Newspapess. e ths nd edncasors of ths huuying nassss, should contain good lienasurs, svsn though 1t were to exclude the his- tnsy q fa bloody crime.
