''If you only won't let Betty B. have

said Mrs. a.
Madam" said /, you may have my

So she took my word, and l took her

and. as she weighed over two hundred
pounds, the moment was full of terrible
anticipations. But she recovered her
composure, and told me that il would
keep Birdie out of first place she

affair herself. I accepted her PROPOSE

In the course of the day l cncount-

me on my exquisite artistic taste in all

they all ended with bribery. After these

1t is also proposed to introduce this sys-
TEN of mitigatcd rapid transit on other

their drawbacks, as they are managed
in st. Louis, is very evident from the
following letter OF Jackson P. Hoof-

terne, which is herewith translated.
After explaining that the chances Of a
pedestrian for being run over arc much
improved by cable cars, and that a dis
located neck awaits the careless passen-

Mr. Hoofnakle complains that getting
on the car is not as easy as one might

My lord certainly kept his eye-glass
bearing steadily on the table where the
mother and daughters sat, and they
were not slow to notice it. ] could hear
some pretty littlo squabbles between
the girls, as to which one of them was
getting the bestofit. The mother did not
enter into these disputes, but she looked
at my lord in q way that meant: oh!
how wish there were enough OF you to
go around" She was in high feather,
and the girls. couldn't sit still in their
chairs. 1t looked like clear case even
to my unprecedented vision, and was
beginning to be interested to discover
which OF the daughters stood the best

Everybody was talking about the in

I was there, catching the neuralgia in one
ear and the sweet strains of the hotel

was not what it used TO be. The pppu-
