Quite recently, under the head of "Situa-
tons Wanted. - In a New York daily news
paper, l read this announcement: young
lady wants a position as dishwasher in a res
taurant." The wording of the notice recalls
to my memory an aged, ragged and decrepid
crone who anne for aims to a house where !
chanccd to he visiting in South Brooklyn
many years ago. Among other things she
asked for two pairs OF old shoes, and being
~interrogated as to her reason for soliciting
two pairs, she replied in a quavering tone:
"Well, ma'am, you see me an another
lady gathers the swill on this street. and
when one of us Is hard up both Of US is-God
help usf'
There was unconscious pathos in the
phrase; and l don't think the poor old women

Out ON the Burlington q Missouri road,
Nebraska, they imported a passenger brake
man from Boston. There is a heap Of Bos-
ton talent OF the Burlington and Missouri,
but this young man was refined until he was
about 100 proof. He ran on the Beatrice
branch, which everybody in Nebraska knows
IS called to rhyme with "the mattress" And
when this new man looked in at the car door
and shouted "Bay-ah-treet-ch sel Bay-ah-
treet-chsel' the entire community rose up
as one man and piled on to him by thousands.
Thanks 10 the severity Of the weather, his
remains reached fremont street in a state
OF excellent preservation.

The wholesale grocery house OF !. H..
Brown i perhaps the most widely known
of any in the Southwest, and there is
none that is more dcservedly popn-
lar In 1872 hc began business in
small way at this place, and in
stead of excepting pace with the adyanc-
ing steps of the city, he, with 9th
ers, led II in its onward march of pro-
gress. Throughout the territory tribu-
tary to Fort WORTH which in area
amounts to more than half dozen states,
the name of ',Brown" has become a syn
onym for enterpIising liberaltN, and to
the public spirit of Mr.. Brown more per-
haps than that of any other man is Fort
Worth indebted for its present prosperity,
and the brighter prospect of Il more glori-
Gus future
Some idea of this immense trade can be
gathered from the fact that the Indian
Territory. the Panhandle, Southwest and
West Texas and New Mexico are
"worked" by his travelling statesmen, and
that his sales in round numbers for 1885
win reach S2,75O,000 Three years ago
he commenced the manufacture of Silver
I.oai baking powder, cooking extracts
and candies, and since that time this
branch of his business has grown to such
immense proportions that it became nee
cssary to enlarge his manufacturing cS-
adjustment, and the contract was recent
~ let for Il building 100 by POO feet for
manufacturing alone.
