THE TALKING THEATRICAL BORE.

The people who do so much talking in the.
surely cannot appreciate the large amount of
discomfort which they produce among those
who occupy positions near them. We have
frequently called attention to the matter in
the columns of the Sentinel, and would
once again strongly urge it upon the atten-
ton Of those who indulge themselves in the
habit. We are glad to say that 1t is not by
any means confined to Indianapolis. HUI
man nature seems to be the same the
world over. The experience of New York

necessarily, they ignored the subdued Kisses
of their more humble neighbors, and drove
me in disgust from the place."
In commenting upon the disgusting habit

gests that . thoroughly ripe tomato or a
kindred vegetable would meet the case of

comes from a metropolitan journal.

GENERAL GRANT.

There is every reason to believe that the

there is no use denying the fact"
