A Conundrunn.

Buffalo Express.
Once in while youngster says an
amusing thing without waiting to have
it paragraphed for him by a professional
humorous writer.
There is busy little specimen of
humanity in this city, just old enough
to ask questions at the rate of a good
many minute. The other night at
bedtime, Midget's mother waited by the
side of the crib to hear the evening
prayer. Midget, OYever, didn't feel
sleepy.
II guess I'll say my prayers standin'
up tonight she said, as she struck an
attitude. Then before the mother could
demonstrate she asked:
Gould God make me kneel DOWN."
"Why, yes, dear, but"
"Could he make you kneel do wn?"
"Certainly-"
''COuld he make horse kneel DOWN."
There was the least bit of shake,
and Midget, grown docile, properly said
her prayers and was tucked in, but as
her mother turned to 90 there came an
other question::
Mamma, could God make horse
kneel down with his hind legs?''
II have been thinking over the strange
question for two days." the mother
afterward said, ''and now I'd like to
know if horse can kneel down with
his hind legs"

The New Generation of Negroes.
The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some of the birthmarks pc
culiar to the African race. The new
generation is showing the effects of a
higher culture. Especially is this not
tlceable in the towns where con tao
with the whites shows its effect. The
flat-nosed, kinky-headed negro is, says
the Atlanta Constitution. passing away
and becoming an unknown race. All
the cOlOred children, no matter how
dusky in hue. show the change. Among
the females, long hair of that peculiar
woody appearance hangs in long braids
or curls down their backs. Aquiline
noses and smaller mouths, with thinner
lips, are the rule.
An exchange tells of wo wild boy
who were quite reformed IN conduct by
having taste for Horticulture awakened
in their minds. They were presented
with couple of attractive books upon
the subject, were given flower seeds
and piece of ground. The boys re-
luctantly planted the seeds, but reluct-
ance and neglect gradually grew into
interest and attachment as the plants
matured and the flowers came. Inter-
esting and beautiful thought being thus
awakened, the boys became disgusted
with low things.

THE NEW IRON BRIDGE

Which Spans mill River on she Site
 of the Hist0ric old Neck Bridge.
 The new iron bridge which Is now being
 completed over Mill river in the same place
 where the old Neck bridge stood for years to
 the evident alarm and inconvenience of per-
 sons driving heavy loads over 1t. is one of the
 finest structures of the kind in the city.
 Travel has been hindered here for three
 months during the construction of the new
 bridge, but now it is so far completed that
 the Cedar Hill cars began to cross it last
 Wednesday night. The sidewalks of concrete
 are now being laid and the finishing touches added, and travellers are now enabled to cross fine little bridge without the slightest in- convenience.
 The architecture of the new bridge is after the same style as that of many others that cross small streams upon the outskirts of the town. It is strongly built of steel and iron and will probably resist the wear and tear of
 many years. It is unquestionably grand improvement over the shaking old structure l that was formerly known as Neck bridge. When one walked over this he could almost feel the bridge shake. When a heavily load ed team passed over it it seemed aa if the I structure would be broken through at every moment.
 The road part of the new structure is strongly ballasted with the Telford paving blocks and is arranged in such a manner as to keep in excellent condition. Two light iron railings separate the walks on each side from the road and form a broad passageway for foot travellers. The outer railings ..are strong and artistic. The walks will be made easy and commodious by concrete paving.
 The bridge is wider than the old one and is 8 fine addition to that part of the city.

 Mitchell-TwO other Vessels Nos Ac-
 counted For.
 The schooner Charles L. Mitchell, which halls from this city, started on a voyage from Bath. Me-, for Baltimore on November 22, and since that time nothing has been heard from her.

The Charles L. Mitchell was launched from Hans com's shipyard about five years ago, and was commanded by Captain Frost. She has met with two or three accidents. She has been doing we'll of late and carried over 1000 tons of coal. She has been engaged princi~ pally in that trade between Baltimore and New England ports. Her value is estimated at about $35, ,OO0.
 The schooner James Boyce, Captain Cross ley, and the new schooner Napoleon Bough- ton are among the missing.

 Sheriff Scranton yesterday attached all the property of Deacon John H. Starr, of Guil- ford, in suit brought against him by Fan nis Benton, of the same place.

Joseph Merriman has attached $500 worth of property belonging to Samuel Price. The former keeps barber shop on Grand avenue. Last week he secured a loan of $25 from Price in exchange for note for $25 and bill of sale of nearly all his property. Price thought Merriman was about to skip town and so he replevied all the stuff in the barber shop. It so happened that Price got something that was not down in the bill of sale and hence 8 suit to recover.

Reserved Seats For the Messiah Con.

It is not surprising that as the oratorio af the Messiah has not been heard iu New Ha- ven since the disbanding of the old Mendels- sohn society, there should be quite revival of interest. We learn that already a sHfi- cient number of tickets have been disposed of to insure 0 comfortable audience on the evening of the 27th inst. The exchange of tickets for reserved seats will take place on Monday next, 17th inst, at Loomis' Temple of music. AS each purchaser of a 50 cent ticket is entitled to reserved seat. it is scarcely possible there will be any opportuni- ty for rush tickets; furthermore, we learn that every seat in the house will be reserved, and it is quite probable that all will be taken. A platform will be erected in the chsncel for the accommodation of the singers, who will number about sixty. The accompaniment will be played by MT. Henry Jepson, on a Mathushek grand, furnished by Treat and Shepard. Owing to the length of the ora torio it has been decided to commence prompt ly at half past seven o'clock. We are desired to impress this fact upon the public mind.
