Doesn't Know What He's Talking
About.

ooh! would | were q boy again, "
once sang an idiot, with memory cut
off so short that he couldn't recollect
whether the last he took was beer or
brandy. And so he sung and sung,
and made others idiotically sing wish
ing they were boys if not girls again,
forgetting that boyhood and girlhood
as q rule is about the most miserable
stage of human existence. What is it
that cries every half hour for some
thing it can get? A or 7-year old
child. What is it that wants everything
it sees and doesn't know what's good
for it? A or 7-year old child. What
is it that lies on its little stomach and
kicks with rage and temper because it
can t have candy enough to make it
sick? A OF 7-year old child. What
is it that pampered with all the ''delica-
cies" of the season, cries for something
to eat, it doesn't know what, and re-
fuses out of the pure quintescence of
ugliness to be satisfied? A or Y. O.
child. What is it in the summer time
that steals the hard green apples and
then feels them grippe? The ''would |
were boy again" What is it that is
beaten with rods, straps and whips by
the angry father? The or y. o.
boy. What is it that is spanked by the
tempestuous mother and bullied by eY-
erybody? it is needless to say. All
have more or less suffered. And this
is the compendium of misery, the ami
mated bunch of unrest and fretfulness
that he wants to be again? The man
doesn't know what he is talking about.

Mr.. Vereker had occasion to leave
home for couple of weeks lately, so
he signed a dozen blank checks and
lef. them with Mrs. Yereker that the
housekeeping might not come to an
untimely end during his absence, and
that the old lady might have where
withal to console herself during her
grass-widowhOod. When Vereker re-
turned the other day he found a notiti-
cation from the bank that his account
was ovcrdrawn. Considerably exer-
cised he called Mrs. VS. attention to
the fact. Here, my dear, you must
have been spending money like waite,
while was away, [ find my account
Is overdrawn." "On, that's impossi-
bic, - replied the lady; Il have several
of your checks on hand yet"

History informs us that the PhUnecian women

in battle with their husbands. Again, history
holds up Maria Theresa twenty four years of

with a newborn babe at her breast up the
mount at Presburg. waving her sword, inspired
the applauding people to a successful revolution

Liability for Damages.

In the suit of John MaeIntire against George
P. Bissel for damages for personal injuries, the
Superior Court in general term yesterday re-
yersed the special term decision, holding that if
the dangerous condition of the sidewalk on
which MacIntire fell was due to the intervening
act of another than the owner, it must be estab-
lished that notice of such unsafe condition had
been given the property owner before he can be
held accountable for damages, and that the
owner of property occupied by others is not
liable to a third person for injuries, as result
of the negligence of those in possession The
opinion was given by Judge Walker and con
CURED in by Judge Taylor.

Since the affray in the Illinois penitentiary
with the desperate, Frank Rande on Saturday
all the city papers here have contained accounts
of the shooting of police officer Tom Durham
here, by Rande several years ago. There is no
doubt that Durham was shot by somebody, in
the pursuit of Rande that night, and he and his
friends took considerable consolation in the fact
that he had been wounded by so notorious an
outlaw. The cold blooded facts about the mat
ter are however, that Durham was accidentally
shot by an excited brother officer, in the melee

of the First Presbyterian Church to confer with
Rev. Myron w Reed, and if possible dissuade
him from his apparent determination to sever
his connection with the organization, waited
upon him lastevening at his residence, on North
Delaware street, and presented the resolutions
adopted at the congregational meeting. Mr.. Reed
thanked the committee for the many assurances
of regard and esteem, and agreed to take under
