TEE GRAB GAME.

Prominent North Side Lady Assaulted by
Two Thieves, At High Noon, on Market
Street Bridge.
The wife of County Auditor O. F. Serviss,
who lives on the North Side, Factory street
extension, came over to the city Saturday
and made several purchases, carrying her
pocket-book In a sstchel suspended on one
arm. Crossing Market street bridge the lady
noticed two strange young men sitting idly
on the iron railing of the toot-way, and both
observed her closely as she passed them; but
SAID nothing. On the return, with packages in
arms, the same pair were waiting at the
bridge, and as Ms. Serviss approached
crossed to the side OF the bridge she would
take. The lady noted he action. but thought,
in such public place and in broad daylight,
no harm could be intended and SO kept on her
way. Just as SIZE was passing the men they
made grab for her satchei, and one of them,
seizipg it, attempted TO pull it loose The
lady held to her property and screamed at tie
top OF her voice, which alarmed a colored
boy in Frey's quarry, near by, and he began
to yell for the police, which caused the two
foot-pads to drop their plunder and take to
their heels. running up the bill, both escap-
ing. Considering the fact that it was md
day and in much Travelled thoroughfare, the
attempted robbery was one OF the 0oldest and
most desperate occurring here in a loug time
The police were not informed urtil late in
the afternoon, when, of course, there was
small chance of finding the thieves Their
description was taken, however.

Another attempt at burglary was made at
Yellow Springs Friday night, the dry goods
and grocery store OF Van Mater L Sizor being
the one attacked. The robbers cut large
hole in the back door, but for some reason
did not enter. They either met with an ac-
cident that deferred them from going farther,
as blood was found on and around the door,
or some noise frightened them away. The
supposition is that one of them got hand or
arm badly cut while using the tools in work
ing an entrance, and this caused precipitate
flight. The citizens are all worked up over
the matter, and have offered 500 reward for
the detection OF the rascals The town coun-
Gil will be requested to offer another $le0,
which it will do as the case is now under

Decline of American Humor.

To the casual observer it might appear that
American huuor was in as tlouri,hing rondi-
ton as ever: that. notwithstanding the heavy
drafts which it has sustained during the last de
eade, the supply was still abundant, not to say
incXhaustible. But such. alas! is not the fact
a. can be conclu>iNcy shown by the presenta-
ton OF statistics carefully prepared at consider
able expense. and which will be given in detail
furfher on.
The most seriou, evidence of the decline in
our national humOr Is shown in the paucty of
fresh subjects, there having been in the first
four months of 1880 but eleven new subjects
used in the construction of newspaper wit,
against forty in the corresponding four
months of last year; and while several topics
which We're once under constant treatment have
sunk into de>uetude and are now 10 more heard
than If they had never been. it is also true that
scores OF other favorjte marks for the shafts of
the funny man have shown gradual falling off
IN photographic favor.
The stovepipe joke is ii notable instance of
The former class just alluded TO- the class which
has utterly disappeared. This mrth eXctaGt,
which in 1870 reached the marvellous proper
lions OF 2,4G4 paragraphs per month, or 33,16S
during the entire wear. has fallen off in 1884 to

months of the year, whi!e for the correspond
ing period of 1850 but Il eases have been re-

yer, of Wisconsin, who was en- route TO New

satisfied. 1t beats the administration which
preceded it. anyhow. Yes, l am pretty well

and after marketing them in the spring divide
the money equally. This plan was acceptable
