How women Roara n streel

The way they lie in wait for their
particular car when it is not there
ahead of them and make rush for
it as soon as they perceive it, af;
fords much ehtertaihment to the
onlooker as would an ordinary play
at the theatre. There are generally
as many of them on the ground as
would comfortably fill three cars,
and they seem to have entered a
contest with each other for who
can get on it first. With a bound
they leap from the sidewalk, and
regardless of whmt may be IN their
way make for the car as if their
very lives depended on their being
the first to enter it. they do not
wait for it to come to a full stop
but jump on both platforms while it
is still in motion and rush into the
car all in heap, elbowing and jos
thing each other IN the7f struggle to
get there first, without the least,
ceremony. And how they make
for the seats and strive to be FIRST to
get oneE And then the look 6f
blink amazement or black indigfa-
ton that overspreads their faces
when they fail to secure one on
which they fixed their fancy is
something wonderful to behold. If
a Dickens or a Mark Twain were to

Golden Rules for b Business

Never complain of being ill-used.
Be ashamed Of nothing but your
own errors.
Buy fair, sell fair, and take care
of the profits:
Never expose your disappoint-
mSnt to the world.
Make it known that you are pre-
pared to do business.
Let the business of others alone
and attend to your own.
Be civil and obfTgfhg to all-ft
costs nothing, and is worth much.
Rest satisfied with doing well, and
leave others to talk as they will.
Treat your customers as you
would your friends, by serving them
in the best manner.
Confess ignorance in regard to
subjects on which you are uninform-
ed; listen and learn.
Calculate the probabilities of the
future; increase and mrtltfpfy Che
means Of information.
The tricky, deceitful and dishon-
est are rarely prosperous, for when
confidence is Withdrawn poverty is
likely to follow.
Don't buy what you don't want;
use every hour to the best Gdvan-
tage, and study to even make leisure
hours useful.
Bstablish yourself on the broad
and sound baeig of integrity; con-
duct your business with intelligence
and judgment.
Be not diverted from your duty
by any idle reflections the silly
world may make upon you; their
censures are not in your power, and
consequently should not be any part
of your concern.
Should misfortune overtake you,
retrench, work harder, but never
fly the track; confront difficulties
with unfinching perseverance,;
should you then fail, you will be
honored, but shrink, and you mfII
be despised.

Resigned

Jonathan Chase, of Rode Island;
has resigned his seat in tho United
States Senate, and gives as 6ns Of
his reasons that his salary. being
only fivs Thousand dollars a year, is
insufficient for the support OF a sen-
ator IN Washington. This is q
straGgs reason coming from J6his
than. He is ii Quaker of the strict
est and straightgst sect, and we
have always understood that the
Quakerreligion enjoined the seyerest
simplicity. Jonathan always WORE
shadbellied coat and said thee

larftS. We are afraid that 1t will
be necessary to church tho ex-sena-
tor from Rhode island on account
of his extravaganza while d senator;
we are sure that he has shocked the
sensibflities Of the Society of friends
by his extravagantmode of life, and
Hereafter it will be hard to prove
that his religion is of that simple
kind which we have always been
taught to believe it was. The ayer5
age senator, it matters but little
how rich he is, will take advantage
of the utterances of the Mr.. Chase
to seek to secure an increase of sal
ary, but We know that our West
Virginia senator's are sa;iaEsd With
the present pay. Why, we have
just seen one of them in agony for
forty days and fort| nights fsdring
he would not be able to secure the
five thousand dollars per annum for
the period of six years, and we know
that he is too patriotic TO say that
the salary is insufficient. Theirs is
always one privileges which goes
with every great Office but which is
seldom taken advantage of, and that
is the privilege of resigning whom
ever he pleases, and whenever he
thinks he can make more money at

comotive Works at Dunkirk, Wes-
tern New York, Mr.. Edward Nich6=
las, has notified $50 of his men that
their services are no longer requir-
ed, owing to the dizziness of the times
and sire decrease of business. These
works are among the largest in the
country. Mr.. Nicholas is strong
Republican protectionist, and last
year he applied to all his men to
vote for Harrison ON the ground
that Mr.. Cleveland's election Would
compel him to reduce his force one
half and decrease the pay of those
who were retained. The men were
told that tariff reform meant ruin to.
their industry, and they believed it.
They are now wondering at the re-
suit and asking themselves whether
they would not be better off if they
had voted against such protection
as they are realizing.

The Emperor of Russia has just
decorated and rewarded private
soldier, whose fidelity to his duty
recalls the stories of the Roman
sentinels who perished in the de-
striuction of Pompell. When the
recent earthquake destroyed small
Russian town in Central Asia this
soldier was on duty in the Military
Treasury. Although the houses
were CRASHING around him he stood
mationless, waiting death. The on
ly sign which he showed that he
appreciated hfg situation was the
fact that he raised his. hands as sol
diers do at prayer. Fortunately a
sergeant in the street saw him amid
the ruins and instantly ordered him
to quit his post, which he did right
willingly.

s.l1oeking at that big frame,
said an Ohio Congressman; stind<
ing III front of the Garfield statute
in Stathary Hall with some friends,
tsremintis me of a certain tale of a
shirt. In 1870, Tom Ewing and
Foster were running for the Gov
erhorsbip of Ohio. Bishop was
Governor, and Garfield was the
prospective Senator if Foster sue
ceeded and the Legislature went
with him. The four of them, in
July, wefe gathered in Sandusl1y to
boom d local affair and themselves,
Garfield and Foster were entertained
at the handsome house of Mr.. Moss.
An elegant reception was given,
and when it was time to dress Gar
field discovered he had no change
of linen. His wife had come on
With him from Elyria, and he ex-
pected Ter to bring him changes of
underclothes, butshe misunderstood,
and among her effects Garfield could
naturally find nothing to console
him in his dilemma. The shirt he
wore was soiled with many hours of
riding, the reception was being held
and he was wanted. Mr.. Moss was
q slight, slender man, and his shirt
wouldn't do. Fosters shirts were
too far short in the tails, bosoms
and sleeves, and too small around
the neck. The shirt of O'Hagan, a
local politician, was suggested, but
he weighed three hundred pounds,
and Garfield had not trousers room
enodgh in which to keep the extra
linen. But something had to be
done, and at last they had to make
shift to use one 81 Fosters shirts
1t was a desperate resort. The
shirt was pulled over the head of
the burly Garfield, a string was
used to connect the flying ends of
the neckband, and the skirts were
pinned down into the pantaloons to
keep them from slipping over the
waistband, in which event the great
icommoner would have presented a
peculiar APPEARANCE for swell re-
ception.
''When Garfield appeared he was
a distressed-looking community.
His cuffs disappeared up his coat
sleeves and his hands looked as big
as hams. His manner of blooming
cordiality and shonlder slappings
disappeared and he moved cautious
ly, like one who is afraid something
is going to give away. His friends
took pains that every body present
should learn the situation, and Gar
field was greatly heetored by the
gentlemen. He stood it until, for
getting himself in his natural gal
lantry, he stopped suddenly to pick
up "a lady's handkerchief, when there
was crack and a rending of linen
that was distinctly audible. Mr..
Garfield then retired. Washington
