Observation-Disclosures

Observation-Disclosures is avery common
affection. l know a very wise old
clergyman who was absent-mnded
whenever he slowed away Il large bunch
IF keys which he always carried. Di-
cectly he put them in his trousers
pocket he forgot where they were.
He'd have some occasion for them
and then there always came search of
more or less vigor. His children and
wife would be called in to help hunt.
At the beginning somebody would al
ways say: fare you sure, papa. that
you haven't them in your trousers
pocket" whereupon the old gentleman
would become very indignant at the
insinuation, and respond; "Of course
moi" but us sure rs fate, after cXamin-
ing every nook and corner all over the
house, the keys would turn up in that
pocket as usual.
There are lots of people who wear
spectacles and spend hours every day
hunting for them, when they are Sc
curely resting on their noses. Doubt
less you have II mother or grandmother
who has this peculiar species of absent
mindedness.
At this very moment n gentleman
looking over my shoulder tells me that
few days ago he came to town for
the particular purpose of mailing q
very important letter He didn't wish
10 run the risk of having it lay for a
day in the post-oflice in the suburban
borough where he resides. He came to
Pttsburgh-about 10 miles-went
straight to the post-oflice, bought SIX
three-cents stamps, which he remem-
bered ne was in need of, and returned
home with the important letter in his
breast pocket.

Strange Antipathies.

Charles Kingsley, naturalist as he
was to the core. had great horror OF
spiders; and in "Glaucus" after saying
that every one seems TO hate his anti
pathic animal, continues; II know one
(himselD bred from his childhood to
zoology by land and sea, and bold in
asserting and honest in feeling that all,
without exception. is beautiful, who yet
can not, after handling and petting and
examining all day long every uncouth
and vernomous beast, avoid Il paroxysm
of horror at the sight of the common
house spider" The writer shares this
dislike to painful extent. In this case
it is inherited from his grandfather.
The genial author of the Turkish Spy
says that he would by far prefer, sword

he had the greatest dislike to the lutte

was by no means singular. Dogs too,
have come in for their share OF dislike.

HOW THEY'LL BE FED.

The Arrangements for Dinner at the Rink
To-Day.
Attic Capitol rink, yesterday, all was
hustle and excitement. At an early hour
in the morning the bulldog was invaded
by q small army of workmsn-carpentera
decorators, gas-fittsrs, ete.--end soon the
house was resoundihg viii Che sounds Of
industry. Work progressed rapidly and
systematically under the intelligent diree-
ton Of committeeman, and by evening
everything was in ship,shsps.
This morning and up to about two
o'clock in thu afternoon, the rink will be
devoted to restaurant purposes. The room
in the rear of thu speaker platform, on
the south side, has been tunnel into p
kitchen, natural gas run in, for boiling
coffee, etc, while TIE entire apartment ID
filled with hogsheads, and barrels,
and boxes, AID bags, sni crates,
aud kegs CT provisions, while
dozens upon doz'ns of cbira
pitchers and sugar DO tls, and gross
upon gross Of tin cups are stacked up about
the place. Provisions came in at very
lively rats all day yesterday, and there Is
not the slightest doubt that, with the addi-
ton of what is expected this morning,
there will bs enough to supply the thous-
ands who will demand to be fed. To give
an idea how the eatables aud drinkablss
are coming in, one man alone sent to the
Iiuk o hogsbead Of ground c)ffse, while
several others contr b uted one hundred
round sacks of the same berry. There are
ham sandwiches by the thousand, packed
in barrels and stors boxes, while whole
hams and tongues, and fried chickens, al d
all that FORT of thing are stacked up,
awaiting to be put into convenient form
when the stock ofssndwiches en- har d rut 8
cheese about yard in diameter.
In the main part of the rink, which will
be used 80 a 6inirg hall, sixteen long
table,, capable of acc ommc sting, on an
average, forty-five people each, have bean
erected, sni ssvea bundled people can be
accommodated a. oncs. Officers will be
stationed at the doors, and only enough
people TO fill the tables will bs allowed 10
the building at time. When these have
satisfied their hunger, they will retire by
another door, and then the t,bles will he
filled again. By this Encouragement, carried
on systematically, it is calculated twenty
five hundredpccple can be fed every hour.
Alorg late 10 the afternoon the tables
will be removed, al evidences OF the feast
cleared away, aud the rink will be put in
order for the big meeting of the evening,
to be addressed By Mr.. Thurman. For
this NEE ting the rink hes been lavishfy
decorated. Electric lights have been
placed everywhere, Japsuese lanterns
thickly hung about the ceiling space, in
teIspercei with handsome baudan,s; flags
and buntings are hung in all available
places, and drspsd profusely about the
speakers platform, aed the effect of the
whole is very fine, and ref scts great credit
upon those having the work in charge.
When the bnlldiag is lightei up 10 the
evening, it will present. scene of beauty
never before approached in the history OF
the rink. .
