Brown Citv Budget.


The word success is totally made
quate in expressing the result of the
celebration here last Saturday. The
fact that the mayor" failed to connect
on his 500 subscription did not in the
least deter the committee from carry
ing out the programme to the letter of
the bills. The day opened with the
usual salute of guns, bells, &c, and was
followed by the calithumpian process
sion which was a decided success. The
many and varied costumes and attitudes
assumed during the march kept the
crowd in roars of laughter. The city
band enlivened the day by theirpresence
this being the first appearance of the
boys in their new uniform. Drum ma
jor BOnfoy, arrayed in dashing military
costume, looked every inch soldier. in
fact. the soldierly bearing and strict dis
cipline of the boys. coupled with their
splendid music, drew forth frequent
bursts of applause from the multitude.
The athletic sports and horse racing
took place in the afternoon. David
Murray's "Black Minnie" making her
first appearance OH the track and sue
ceeded in taking first place The jump
ing. foot racing, etc, were creditable to
everybody engaged. Albert Mclean,
of Lucan. Ont. carried off the honors
in the l0O and 800 yard races. Mclean
visited North Branch on Monday and
relieved them of what floating L. :.
currency they choose to invest in foot
racing. The streets were dotted with
booths and dancing halls all of which
did thriving business. The fireworks
were disposed of between the hours of
8 and 10 p. m. much to the delight and
of the vast concourse of
people who assembled OH the commons
near the postoflice. All dispersed as
Sunday approached feeling they had
been amply repaid for their visit to the
city in search of pleasure.

Now, Mr.. sullivan, your dear friend
Rambler bemoans the unhappy hour in
which he first spoke to you. We in
tended no offence, but suppoSing you
to be journalist we assailed you with

was not seriously meant. Now, you
are mad. Please continue in that state
of mind. Continue to think you are a
journalist. Continue to think that wild
wierd rage at joke, is distinctive
mark of a true journalist. Continue to
believe a true Knight of the Quill should
parade attired in knee breeches and a
halo of righteous Indignation. Keep
right Oh thinking you are the superior
Of every other writer. Last but not
least, continue to believe that you are
a poet and gentleman, then you will
pass your declining years in ease and
the country house. beloved by all who
never heard of you. RAMBLER.

And you hung the tree, with shy sweet grace

With bead bird it a dove.

Colored People in Washington

The national capital will need to be
fortified by white immigration in order
to protect it from the surplus colored
population. The colored people now
number 10000 out of the 10000
odd people composing the population
of the district. There are at least
10000 whites in the district. In the
last annual report of the health Of
fcer it is shown that of the births dur
ing the year there were 1885 white
children born to 1857 OF the color
ed. Although the whites are nearly
five to one to the colored people in
point of population, the number of
colored children born nearly equals
in number that of the whites. Those
who think that the colored race is
falling off and will gradually die out
in this country should note these
figures. 1t is told by southern people
that the negroes are becoming more
prosperous year by year in the South,
and with that prosperity they are
rapidly increasing in numbers. They
are large property holders in Washing
ton, and one street in the fashionable
part of the city, Fifteenth street is so
well controlled and fortified by color
ed property-owners that they cannot
be driven from it.

Cheerful People.

God bless the cheerful people-man,
woman or child, old or young, litter
ate or educated, handsome or homely.
Over and above every other social
trait stands cheerfulness. What the
sun is to nature what God is to the
stricken heart which knows how to
lean upon Hlm-are cheerful persons
who 60 in the house and by the way
side. They 60 unobtrusively and un-
consciously about their silent mission;
Frightening up society around them
with happiness bea ming from their
faces. We love to sit near them; we
love the expression of the eye, the
tone of their voice. Little children
find them out, oh! SO quickly; amid
the densest crowd. and passing by tho
knitted brow and compressed lip,
glide near, and laying a confding lit.
tie hand on their knee, lift their clea,
young eyes to those lovi ng faces.

MY FAyCY's QUEEN.

h. a rs
Z will not say if she be dark or fair,
Or il her eyes be hazel, black or blue;
I will not dwell upon her wealth OF hair,
Or on it's silken glossiness or hue.
lknow not if to other men she seem
The sweetest woman earth has ever seen,
The incarnation OF a poets dream
But this know; she is my Fancy's Queen.
Be thou forever blest, propitious day,
When first saw her, robed in creamy
white.
Il sought to speak to her-she would not
But like startled wood-bird took to
fight.
The fairies knew her as she swiftly slept
Along their forest pathway arched with
green,
And from the fower-fastnesses out crept,
To weave new love-spells for my Fancy's
Queen.
/ followed hard at heel-she knew it not,
For never once she turned herlovely face
Nor paused, but onward sped towards the
spot
Whereon were housed her innocence and
4 rested not until learned her name,
And wooed her-aye, and made her mine,
ween!
and now she is a grave and stately dame;
But none the less is she my Fancy 8 Queen.

The Naughty Wife.
From the Bostos Record.

From the BOstOs Record.
In one of the cities that lie over
against Boston there lives a family
whose masculine head is a man who
has won considerable wealth, from
humble beginnings not unlike those of
Commodore Vanderbilt, with the diff
ference that while he like Vanderbilt,
began as boatman, he vas expanded
into the banking business instead of
into the railroad business. Ever since
he became a banker his excellent wife
has been smitten with the great i'm
portance of her husbands new occu-
patton, and advertised it on every
possible occasion. The horse-car
conductors on the line which runs
into her city all know her, and smile
when she enters the car and grandly
utters her command:
"Conductor. Let me off at my hus-
bands bank!'
One day lately a trampish-looking
old fellow with red nose got on the
car just as the bankers wife delivered
her usual order to the conductor. The
old man watched her performances
curiously, and then arose, pulled him
self together, and called out with a.
magnificent air that was inimitables
conductor, let me off at my old
woman's peanut standn'
A roar went through the air, and
"nly husbands bank" has been allud-
ed to more than ever since that time.

The Coachman's Bride in Europe.

From the New York Herald.
A prominent banker in Wall street
said to Herald reporter after he had
exhausted every clew to find out
whether or not Mrs. Schilling was in
the city: II had talk with Mr.. Mo-
rosini and he said that his daughter
is we'll and happy, travelling with a.
rich family In Europe, and never was
SO happy since she left home as she is
at the present. Her sister had a let
ter from her, and she expressed her
delight at getting rid of that brute OF
a husband"
The reporter wrote the above and
called upon Mr.. Morosini at his Office
on broadway. Mr.. Morosini received
the reporter courteously, but declined
to talk about his daughter. The re-
porter then laid before him the above
statement of his friend.
"Is that statement true, Mr.. Mo-
rosini9" he asked.
Mr.. Morosini read it carefully as if
weighing every word and then said:
THAT is the situation exactly; it is
true every word. Now l hope the pa
pers will drop the subject"
Mr.. Moroslni then fixed his initials,
4. 2 NJ, to the paper to certify still
further the authenticity OF this state.
