Solid Boston Citizen-I don't think
Conductor No AZ ought to be retained
any longer; he is not satisfactory to
the patrons of the road.
Street Car President-Why what
has he done?
well, he persists in saying: Next
street will be FREMONT, when he
ought to say, Next street is fremont. :"
q am afraid, my friend, that you are
a little rusty in your grammar; if you
are riding toward fremont, it will be
fremont when you get to it won't it,?
Our conductors are all instructed on
that point in our Street Car School of
Languages, and we don't allow them
to be corrected by any back-number

1t was a suggestive remark of Cen
eral Sheridan's while at the Delaware
Breakwater, that if he could only have
a few days rest and be let alone he
would be all right. Many tired suf-
ferer on whom every care and attention
has been lavished, and whose every
heart throb and pulse beat have been
noted and studied, has experienced a
similar feeling. There are drugs in
Natures pharmacoppia the virtues OF
which even the greatest medical scien-
lists do not always sufficiently rec
OgniZe.

The latest reports, those cabied from
London on Saturday, regarding British
crop prospects are no brighter than
those which preceded them, and which
have been referred to by the Ledger.
They are to the same general effect as
the earlier ones, which is that the rain
fall has been enormous and steady, the
ground is sodden, the temperature cool,
and with but little sunshine to dry or
warm the earth. Thursday snow fell
in parts of England, the first ever
known to fall there in July. The re-
suit is that the crops are in a most
backward condition, and likely to
prove poor in quality and reduced to
much below the average yield, unless
very material weather changes occur
soon.

the Vermont election, on the first

lows with an election on the second
Monday in September. Georgia, the

Liberal offers are sometimes trouble
some things. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company recently found this to
be the case in the matter of schedule
time or a rebate to passengers because
OF failure. Some time ago the officials
of the company offered to each pas
senger on the western limited express
rebate of s. if the train did not ar
rive in Jersey City on time. Last Sat
urday night the limited was % minutes
late, and it was an astonishing sight to
see the mighty rush that was made to
the ticket Office by passengers for the
forfeited penalty. About 5000 was
paid out in this way, but the officials
are determined it shall be long time
before this expensive rush shall be
made upon them again.

number of citizens. Well, John" he
said, i hear that you are going to
