MASHED on HIN.

A prominent gentleman yesterday was out
in his carriage taking in the city. He hsd
driven around several hours and his own
evidence shows that he noticed more people
looking at him than usual. He was free to
confess tia. he was wholly st a loss to de-
termine what had made him such an aftrac-
tire object eli at once. 1Fhen near the Aa1-
haitian Hotel his attention was called to one
of the hind wheels Of his carriage, which
was on dead lock and had not turned once
since he started.
He was soon seen pulling in for repairs
while his conversation was decidedly
Frenchy III localities.
He admits having noticed that bis horse
seemed to tire easily and was thinking that
he had better make a sale at an early date.
This idea caused him to retreat to back
street and make cursory examination to
see il there was any sickness in the family.
Everything seemed correct then and he re-
called the fact that every one he passed
seemed mashed on him. He then examined
his collar coat and shoes, to say nothing OF
hunt for SCOT on bis face. All was II
shape, although the actual test showed thai
something was certainly wrong.

little more than 124,000,00O as com

liabilities Of $226,000,000. While the
ialsures for 1885 are only per cent.
ities have decreased nearly 90 Der cent.

III every S6 failed. In 1868, with 6O0. !.
