MARINE NEWS.

The astute pilot of the proposed COM
monwealth thought of all the various
brands of shaves, and replied with a min
Rled air of suavity and combatlveness:
Just give me a scrape without base
ball" This is not Laramie" ~savagely
retorted the tonsorial artist, taking the
s~trangle hold and remarking to a new
conner that it was dollars to doughnuts
that New York would win the p~ennant
yet.
Ras-In convention Friday Mr.. Suther-
land. of Albany, while acting as chair.
man of the committee of the whole tack
eled a piece of manuscript sent up by one
of the attorneys. After losing two falls
in the wrestle with the tea chest resolu-
ton he handed it to MAJOR Glafcke, who
can read bad writing in three languages.
Mr.. Teschemacher created a laugh by
remarking that Sutherland, who is a
graduate of the best Yankee schools
would be DISTINGUISHED under the state
election laws.
Ras~Mr. Hay of this county and city, is
one of the conventions practical business
men. They call him hard headed and lis
ten when he airs his views on a proposition,
for the gentleman is invariably fair and
pretty nearly always right. At one of
the evening sessions last week he was
dead set with a small minority on a Ger
tain proposition. He finally went oyer
to the enemy with the remark that SO
many lawyers made the same positive state
ment to him hat he had commenced to
think that there might possibly be a grain
of truth in what they said.
Ba- When Col. Geo. W. Cook of
Denver entered Denver Belle for the
three year old trot which was a feature on
one of the recent race days he did it with
the proviso that Faust. Pisa, was not to
DO a contestant for the handsome purse.
Secretary Davis replied that Mr.. Beck
with's sensational young gelding had not
been nominated. Denver Belle came and
appeared on the track looking fit to make
the race OF her life. She was protested
on the claim of being a four year old but
allowed to trot pending the decision. To
the surprise of a great many people Den
yer Belle was badly distanced in the first
heat, Our McGregor winning the bout in
the slow time of 1851. Secretary Davis,
Harry Bush and others in the secret of
the great expectations, thought the
thing a pretty good Joke on the man who
alone barred Faust.
Shs~ Some people are just as disinter
asted and considerable as anyone will be
when the dream of disciples of the uni
versal brotherhood is realized. Il Just

lounger basking in the sun on a corner
yesterday, Il just wish" with added fer
vor, that there was exactly this kind of
weather the year round, except about
two weeks to make ice tor the saloons"
RAJ A young man with a heavy mince
pie breath and inflated tongue wandered
into the den of THELEADER philosopher at
a late hour the other night. He said he'd
laid a tenner on a point about high FIVE
with a friend who questioned his knowl-

a word about the popular game in either

Bas~ Until about three days ago there
was employed at a short order counter in
this city a French chef of excellent &C.
several years and of course hates a China
man worse than a fighting dog does a
mongrel cur. 1t happened that the
A~mericanized celestials of the city recog-
and liking the p%rovender and prices of
the place patronized it exclusively. His
treatment of the pig tails was anything
but cordial, but they didn't mind it.
Finally he determined to drive them
from the place by strategy. The head
Chinaman of the town was given a stew
of picked oysters of the vintage of
1868, topped off with a glass OF loaded
beer. This cost 81. 80 and was paid with
only a grunt Of protest. Next time the
Monaghan modestly called for a COUPLE
of fried eggs Hen fruit which had more
than matured was served and contained
something beside the usual seasoning.
The check read so cents. 1T was honored
but the Chinese restaurant trade has gone
elsewhere.
