The Baltimore & Potomac and Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad companies have notified
all large shippers to defer the shipping of
all unnecessary freight over the roads to
Washington until after the 9th of March.
The reason for doing this is to keep the
tracks clear of freight cars for the extra
trains coming to and departing from the
Inauguration. The produce dealers have
all prepared themselves for the emergency
and have stocked their storeroOms with
sufficient goods to last until the Inaugural
tion is over. An attempt will be made by
the Norfolk steamers on Monday to open
the channel of the river, which, If success
full, vegetables and fruits will be brought to
the city from the South on these steamers.

Learning tho Art of Rinkulating.

And it came to pass, there came 4
day when the Young man with the lead
pencil legs and high water pants be-
thought himself OF the skating rink.
So he went out, and when lie came
nigh unto his girl, he spakc unto her,
saying: Come, Mary, let us. gird
ourselves up and go hence to the rink,
for behold 1 have been diligent in thy
absence and have embezzled two cou-
pons." So they went. one with the
other, for they loved each other with
love, the greatness of which was like
unto death. !
And when the youth and maiden
were come unto the rink, they saw
divers other young men and maidens
waltzing hither and thither, and stand
ing upon their necks. and spreading
themselves upon the floor to the four
corners of the place.
And Mary was pleased thereat, for
she saw the other n1aidens sticking to
their escorts closer than boiler rivets.
And she longed for some CT the same
agony.
So she prevailed upon her lover to
go and do likewise. And he went with
a light heart: for he loved the sport
because he had been there before and
knew the whichness thereof.
And after q little while he returned
and took Mary's feet and fastened the
skates thereon, And in Nike manner
did lie unto his own feet. Then they
smiled one upon the other and went
upon their wobbly way.
And it came to pass when they got
out where the eyes Of the multitude
we're upon them, Mary forgot herself
and looked back. Now this was a
grievous thing to do, for it was written
on the wall: ''Thou shalt not look
back when thou skatest, lest thy feet
forsake thee aid thou treadest upon
thine ear
But Mary was full Of JOY and choco-
late caramels, and remembered not
these things.
So when she looked back her feet
flew from under her, and went up into
the atmosphere and cut Il star therein.
and tlsscendedwith 4 great crash, and
Mary sat down on the floor with dull
thud. so that her hustle escaped anu
came out at the neck Of her dress. And
her fall was exceeding hard; yea,
great was the muchness thereof.
So likewise had her lover spilled
himself, but lie hurt himself. not, for
he had been like the seven wise skaters
who had put cork soles in the base
ment of their trousers.
But in an evil moment he saw Mary's
hustle about her neck, and he lifted
mp his voice and laughed and asked
her from whence came the chaff bag.
Tnen was Mary wroth: and she grew
red in the countenance and answered.
saying ''Thou leadest me in slippery
paths, and when the floor riseth up
and striketh me in grevious place,
thou comest not to my aid; yea. verify.
thou gurglest at my misfortune.
Henceforth we will remain together
little closer off.
And from that day unto this she
passed him by on the other side of the
avenue.-Roller Skater.
