AsThe Baby Carriage Nuisanee.''
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 don't want to say anything against ba- bies. We have had the "dear little things'' with us so long they have become almost a necessity. We shouldn't know what to dc withont them. And of course they must have carriages; and of course the carriages must go on the sidewalks; and 1t would i'll become man whostakesaahi bicycle on the walks to complain. But howantIstoasksi sin all modesty as becometh a bachelor, if baby isn't getting just little arrogant-cheeky, 50 to say. It frequently happens, when trundling my bicycle on the walk, that I have to take myself and wheel into the gutter to make room for ''perambulator" (sometimes two 'abreast), and even. then 1t is not uncommon to hear remarks uncomplimentary to the bicycle and it's rider.
 lam not unreasonable. would be satis- fed with a very small half of the walk. But baby ought to learn in his impressionable youth that he doesn't own the whole high. way. We concede all his rights. We couldn't possibly exist without him. But it is equal. ly true that he would soon lanquish without Dad. In word, we men have some right that baby is bound to respect. D.

TIMELY PRRCAU AUTIONS.

The dangers of electric lighting have made themselves manifest in terrible way in New York city, and the authorities there are very vigorously trying to decrease those dangers. And ever since the recent great fire in Boston there has been demand there for action concerning the electric wires. In answer to this demand committee of the aldermen has reported an order directing the fire commis- sioners, on and after February 1, ''to remove all posts, piers and abutments to which wires are attached, that are used for the transmission of electricity and with which wires are connected which enter buildings, unless there is attached thereto on such buildings safety fuse protector to be ap- proved by said fire commissioners, the exc pense thereof to be charged to the fire de- partment." All dead wires are also to be taken down, and due care is to be exercised in putting up new poles and wires.
 Of course the wires will have to be made safe in every city. It will not do to have them killing reople and setting fires. The electric light is too useful to be abolished if it can be made safe, as 1t undoubtedly can be. New Haven has been very fortunate in this matter. We have escaped either because those who manage the electric lighting here Happened" so Probably the former is the best reason, but 1t is not matter in which any chances should be taken anywhere.

The man just ahead of me in the car is what you reporters call kicker. The car was too hot or too cool, the weather too wet or too dry, the trainmen were too ofieious or two neglectful, the papers were bad and everything went wrong.

A LOVER AT THREE SCORE.
A Pretty Story or Two Old People Eho Had Not Outlived Their Youth.

A Pretty Story or Two Old People Who
 Had Not Outnved Their Youth.
 From the Youths Companion.1
 The writer remembers being at a little country railroad station when a white-haired old man and woman about as far along in years drove up to the door in an antiquated buggy, to which was attached a horee long past it's youth.
 Shabby as were the old man's turnout and garments, and simple-minded as he seemed, his bearing toward his aged wife was oourtli- ness itself.
 "Dont try to git out O the buggy until hitch old Ned an help ye." he said, as he slowly climbed out.
 He stumbled backward and almost fell when helping the old lady out, 20 that she came to the ground rather heavily.
 "Didn't hurt ye, did I, mat" he asked with tender solicitude; "I don't know what made me 50 clumsy and keerless."
 Then he brushed the dust from her dress with his red cotton handkerchief and oare- fully righted the bonnet that had become awry during the ride to the station.
 'Now you sit right here. ma, an I'll see to things" he said, as he led her to 8 seat in shady corner of the room and made it com- fortabls with the shawls she carried. When he returned he said:
 "Don't feel any skeery bout goin' off alone, do ye, mat I've wished hundred times could go, too, but you know we both can't leave home at this time O the year, an I ain't skeered but you'll get along all right. Aaron'll meet you sure when you git there, an don't fail to have him drop me 8 card right off lettin' me know if you're all right" Just before the train started he came over to were was sitting and asked me where I was "bound fer"
 "For M--," replied "You don't say!" he said, gleefully. "Well, mebbe then ye wouldn't mind lookin' after my wife little. She's goin' to NJ, too. Called there student by the sickness of our daughter Harriet. She ant travelled alone none, an I feel real guilty lettin' her start alone now, but it ant so that we kin both go. know it ant but forty miles, but I'll feel easier to know that some onell tell her when she gifts there an help her of the train, mebbe. She can't see so very well an her herin' ant none too good" gladly agreed to give the old lady all necessary assistance, and the old gentleman was profuse in his thanks. I had taken l "quite a load off his mind" he declared. He kissed his wife good-by two or three times when the train came in and stood on tho station platform waving his red handker- chief esd it moved away, while the old lady 'a handkerchief Huttered from her window in loving response until the station was quite l out of sight.

 An interesting case has been concluded ! before the Austrian Court of Appeal. At the funeral of the crown prince, the mayor of Horitx, in Bohemia, called together the town council to pass a vote of con- dolence with the imperial house. After l having addressed the town councillors the
 mayor asked them to rise as an expression of l their grief. All rose except one councillor,
 who remained seated. This was regarded as
 an offence to a member of the imperial fauai- l ly, and it has been punished with two months' imprisonment.
 | The Pall Mall Gazette tells the world what
 1t owes to the late Jefferson Davis, as follows
 Until Jefferson Davis put it to the test there was doubt whether 8 federal union of English-speakiug men would have sufficient
 resolution to go to war, if need be, to compel any of the federal States to remain within the union. The answer was decisive. No centralized empire could have acted with
 more tremendous energy or have responded I more promptly to the instinct of self-preseva- ton. That was the moral of the suppression
 ot the slave holders rebellion, and for help \ ing to display it to the world we owe slight debt of gratitude to Jefferson Davis, which we. the federationists of the mother land of l English speaking mon, this morning ac-
