Brea king the News Gently.

Not long since, while gang of Sec
ton men were mt work on the Ohio
and Mississippi Road, the fast express
came along, and before Mike Martin,
one of the number, could get out of
the way of the train he was run over
and killed. His comrades were stand
ing about viewing the remains and
lamenting over Mikes fate, when one
of them said:
sand who will break the news to the

After a short conference it was de-
cided that Jerry Donavan should go to
Mikes late residence and inform Mrs.
Martin of poor Mikes death as gently
as possible. He left his comrades,
and going to Mikes house said:
"Good mornin', Mrs. Martin"
"Good mornin', Jerry" said she.
Now compose yourself, Mrs. Mar

The perils OF the Year.

In vain he struggled to be free;
She meier would him release.
Until he promised that he'd be
Her own till life should cease.
At last. in tones of deepest woc,
Scarce knowing what he said,
He in,ly vowed that ii she d 90.
He surely would her wed.
She left him that she might procure
The marriage license dear;
An hour S parting she'd endure,
She whispered in his ear.
And then the youth, in great alright,
Walked up and down his room.
His life had just received blight,
lie saw hi s awful doom.
Out in the open air he rushed;
The river lay close by;
Within its depths his life he hushed
Without single sigh.
"By accident drowned" the Coroner said,
Before the body's disposal;
Alas! he knew not of the maid,
And her leap year proposal.

General, having ridden up to a little
tavern in Marysville and found a score
or more of loungers who were not
inclined to make a place for him in
front of the fire, called out to ser
want:
Boy, have you got any oysters in
the shell ?"
Yes, massa, plenty of EN-"
well, put my horse in the stable
and measure out half bushel of oys-

The loungers speedily thinned out
to see the horse eat oysters. The Gen.
eral, after enjoying the fire and seeing
the boy, SAID:

on with his oysters?'

"Very well, bring EN- tosme and

Some one has stolen my watch"
a bystander retorted:
No, not stolen, nationalized."

THE LONG BRIDGE.
The Long bridge undoubtedly has much to do
with the disastrous results of our freshets, par
ticularly that part Of the bridge under water
The piers of the bridge in the freshet stage
stand obliquely to the current, making obstruc-
ton greatest when it should be least. The
large amount of rip-rap stone piled around the
piers tends to largely decrease the discharging
capacity OF the channel, and is consequently a
formidable obstacle. The causeway of the
bridge NO doubt adds greatly to the difficulties;

More Light Needed.
To The Editor of the Press:

10 We Eutt0f OF t1e PfeSS:
My calling as physician often compels me
to be out at ell hours of the night. To one
who is obliged to pass through the worst and
most dangerous parts OF the city in the darkest
and most dreary houre of the night, the street
lights are very agreeable. For many years
have been greatly annoyed BY the custom of
putting out these street lights between the
hours OF and O'Clock in the morning. This
does well enough for our two or three summer
months. when our nights are SO very short.
1t is very different thing at this season of the
year, when the darkness continues until 7
O'Clock. Between the hours of and in the
morning there is great deal of travel in our
streets. The employees oi the morning papers
are going home or distributing the papers;
mllkmen and bakers are making their rounds
those who have worked all night are going
home, and those who begin their days wolk
at an early hour are leaving home: passengers
from the Boston boat are seeking their homes.
Ali this travel takes place during the very
darkest hours of the night, for as the old say
ing has it, sit is always darkest before dawn"
The most of this travel is after the street
lights are put out. Now this is all wrong
There is very little travel from midnight till 8
or O'Clock in the morning If economy is
the excuse, it certainly wsuld be better to
have the lights put out at midnight and
lighted again at o'clock. have often walk
cd along Congress street, from City Hall to
Preble street between and O'Clock in the
morning, after the lights were put out, when
1t vas so dark could not see whether was
In the middle or on one side of the sidewalk
hope the proper authorities will see to it at
once, that orders are given to leave the street
lights burning until sunrise or atHleast until
daybreak. This would be for the accommoda-
tion not of one person or one trade, but, as 1
have shown, for almost all persons who are on
the streets after midnight. VICTOR
