There is no more interesting and amusing

how little and insignificant he is and un-
mindful of the amusement he affords. HUI

several bad cases in this community, and l
would like to tell them just what l think OF
them. (Leaf from young lady'S daryl

in these davs a young mans religion de-
pends very much on where his girl goes 10
church. If she is Methodist he is firm in
that faith while if he is soft on Baptist
girl the contribution box OF that church is
regularly enriched by him. For his Epis-
copal inamorata he learns the creed and
studies the service faithfully, and for the
PRESBYTERIAN damsel he has been known to
Join the Sunday school. Now here is way
that the girls can work great good if they
will undertake it, and it is certainly worth
trying. There are many young men who
now never attend church who could be
guided through their affections, and ONE
young lady should take them in hand.

SIN this splendid edifce we see the evo-
luton of hotels" remarked genial Gov.
Ramsey the other day after examining the
Ryan. First the American, then the
Winslow, then the International and then
the Ryan" 1t may be interesting for new
cOmers to know that the first hotel was the.
st. Paul, opened in August, 1S47, by Hon.
j. w. Bass on the site now occupied by the
Merchants. The American, which was
grand for its time. still stands at the corner
of Wabasha and Fourth streets. The
Winslow stood at Seven corners and the
International was a large house at the
corner of Jackson and Seventh streets. The
WinsIow was burned Oct. 10, 1862, and

Some hill young ladies discovered a new
and pleasant manner of celebrating the late
Fourth of July. Procuring number of
toy balloons they proceeded to decorate the
staid old house dog with them. To his
legs, ears and tail they tied the lite gas
bags and then the fun began. The old fel-
low did not quite understand it. but any
thing to please the girls. Round and round
he ran, the balloons bobbing up and down.
His busy tail gave plenty of occupation TO
the one in the rear, which was constantly
attacking his nose, and as he bObbed his
head the two on the ears came down with a
bump. It,was merry sight and lasted
until the good old animal quietly lay down
and rolled over, quite ''busting up" the
circus.

There should be some ordinance to pre-
vent blind hackmen and private coachmen
from being allowed to drive through the
streets, or else they should be provided with
spectacles. These impudent fellows all
appear to be afflicted with defective vision,
for they drive straight ahead over the most
crowded crossings as if the whole road be-
lOnged to them. They never pretend to
slacken their speed. and the lives of ladies
and children are in peril every time they
cross a street. If an example could be
made OF a few of these reckless fellows,
who make their living directly from the
people they treat with such contempt. the
public would be grateful and there would be
a sense of security established.

One of the most singular sights on Third
street last week was a typical cowboy i'm
full bloom. fringed trousers, hickory shirt.

and top boots. He was fine specimen.
and might have frightened a band of In
dams or a squad of tenderfeet but also adj
vertised that he was not the genuine arti-

sensation when he promenades from the
strand and along the sunny side of Regent
street, at 'ome you know, me boy?
