KATY, AvOUREEN.

Notes and Queries.

Twas cold Winters night, and the tempest
was snarling,
The snow like a sheet covered cabin and sty,
When Barney flew over the hills to his darling,
And raped at the window where Katy did
lie.
"Arrah jewel" says he, "are you sleepin' or
wakin?
It's a cold bitter night, and my coat it is thin,
The storm is a brewin', the frost is a bakin',
Oh, Katy, avoureen, you must let me in"
''Ah, then Barney" says Kate, and she spoke
through the window
Chow could you be takln' US out Of our bed'
To come at this time it's shame and sin, too;
It's whisky. not love, has got into your head,
II your heart it was true, OF my fame you'd be
tender,
Consider the time, and there's nobody in;

'Acushla," says he, sits my eye is a fountain,
That weeps at the wrong l might lay at your

mountain
And Barney would die TO preserve 1t as pure.

And the words OF my Katy shall comfort and

BE Had Looked at the Chimney.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
He was q sharper. You could see
that in his eye as he strolled up Alex
ander street the other night just after
tea time, and as he stopped in front OF a
house near the intersection Of Gardner
Park, and leaning against the fence,
struck up q conversation with the gem
tleman who was sitting on the porch
smoking, and who was, unmistakably,
the head of family; you could see it in
every attitude and movement.
"How long since you've looked at
your chimney" he asked of the gentle
man on the porch, in q confidential
manner.
The person addressed was evidently a
trife surprised. "How long since I've
looked at my chimney" he repeated in
an inquiring tone, glancing at his wife,
who was seated near by, and then at the
stranger, as If to assure himself that he
had understood the question Alright.

triumphantly, "but own up now, amt it

But the stranger interrupted him.

THE WHOLE TRAIN RAN OVER HIM.
But Kahn Was Satisfied When the Com
pany Paid for His Damage Trousers.
G[0be-Dend


Giobe-Democrdt.
Usually when a man has been run
over by an engine and train Of four or
five cars the coroner sits on what is left
of him. With the exception of the cor
oner's inquest that is what happened to
Jacob Kahn. Nevertheless, he Is none
the worse for his remarkable exper-
fence. Nature made Kahn very thin
man, and to this fact he owes his life.
In fact, so impressed has he become
with the virtue of slenderness that his
friends have had hard time to dissuade
him from adopting systematic meas
ures TO reduce his already frail
anatomy still more. Kahn is
about % years old, and is journeyman
baker at 1928 North Second street. He
lives over barber shop on Second
street, above Thompson. He is not
very tall, but his thinness is standing
joke in the neighborhood. Being good
natured it never angers him, and he
was wont to laugh and reply that some
day they might envy him for being
slender. About o'clock he was talk
ing to some acquaintances at Second
street and Germantown avenue when
shifting engine drawing five heavy
freight cars came along. Just as 1t
was almost opposite to him Kahn stepped
right between the tracks. A dozen
people shouted and screamed and Kahn
saw hisdanger.
Whether he suddenly realized that
his remarkable thinness might be the
means OF saving his life, or whether it
was merely fright, is not known, but he
fell fiat on his face as the engine came
up and passed over him. The engineer
could not stop, and went right on, while
the people stood transfxed with horror.
The five cars passed over him. A po-
liceman and q big crowd ran into the
street to gather up the mang ed corpse.
Imagine their surprise when Kahn
jumped up apparently unhurt, brushing
the dust from his new trousers. lie
had Rugged the ground so closely that
only the fire box of the engine had
touched him. This had wrought dam
age, not to himself but to his new
trousers. The red-hot furnace had
burned an immense hole in them. He
was ignorant OF the fact until some
one told him. Then he was much wor-
ried, and tried to twist his head around
to get a rear view of himself and gaze
on the wreck. There were no cuts
or bruises on him, and the crowd gazed
at him in mute establishment. They
could hardly believe their eyes, and the
policeman who had prepared to sum-
mon the patrol wagon gazed at Kahn in
a most reproachfulmanner. They took
Kahn to his home at the barber shop,
when he Immediately took off his trou-
sers, and after sadly contemplating them
for few moments went to bed. Kahn
laughs very satisfied laugh now when
anyone speaks of his thinness, and, as
the railroad company presented him
with a check, he has ceased to mourn
for his ruined trousers.

DRY GOODS.

New YoRK, July 27-The dry goods
market opened without material change
from the position OF things last week.
Transactions on the spot were moderate,
as usual or Mondays, but orders by mail
were fair, with increase in some instances
and indications Of more important opera
tons TO follow. particularly in plain cot
ton goods, which have been taken this
season with more than the usual con-
servatism, though the weekly and
monthly footings have compared we'll with
former seasons aud have kept stocks from
accommodating. Agents still have many
orders'to fill and are forwarding goods on
that account rs fast as possible. The To-
cal jobbing trade has not developed any
activity as yet On the spot, though there
are some good orders by mail. The mar
ket continues steady in tone.

Washington, March 80. 1891


Will Secretary Noble resign anl be ap.
pointed to one of the Circuit Court jud ge-
ships? Ttere are many people here who
believe that he will. He has had nothing
owing to the continual differences thai
have arisen between him and the heads Of
the important bureaux Of his departme lt j..
Whether it has been ait pgether his fault
or that of the off ;ials under him, am not
prepared to say. His first difference, as
everyone will em-nber, was that which
resulted in the dismissal of "Corp)ral'
Tanner, from the head of the Pension
Office, aud the trouble which caused the
resignation of Commissioner OF Pubic
Lands Croft is still flesh in the public
mind, and now there is a very serious diff
erence of opinion betw him and Indian
Com missioner Morgan, which the gossi ps
claim has caused hin. to decide to resign.
From the fact that in all his past diff .u =
les with subordinates Mr.. Harrison has
stood by the Secretary, am inclined 10
tank that u either olnclai resigns G Will
be the Ilditn Commissioner add not
Secretary Noble. IL is not probable that
a m an of Mr. N ,ble's undoab bted ability
would care to accept an appointment upon
the bench of the U iited st It IS Circuit
Court, at s., 900 year. If there was
vacancy in the Supreme Court aud h:
could get it, he would probably take it
there are few men who wouldn't.
Mr. Harrison has decided to make the
appointments of the new Circut Court
judges during the Congressional recess,
bnt private Secretary Halford SAYS they
may not be announced for several mouths.
This Is discouraging to numerous hungry

patriots that are applicants for these liiC-
time positions, but, as it indicates dispo-
stion to weigh carefully the merits OF the
applicants. it ill probably be more satis-
factory to the country at lalge than IL
these very important places were filled III

Several prominent Ohio Republicans
have been here during the past lhree days,
and there IS reason for believing that they
came for the pirpose Of gelti'g & dt fiaite
statement from Senator Sherman as to
whether he proposed becoming candidate
for re, election to the Senate, it having Teen
announced, whether by authority is not
known, several months ago that Mr.. Sher-
man proposed retiring from public life al
the cad of his present tenn. These gentle
men say that Mr.. Sherman can be easily
| reelected if he wishes t, be, notwithstanG-
ing the candidacy Of ex Gov. Foraker, but
they seem mighty anxious to ascertain Mr..
Snerman's wishes, and some men are un-
charitable enough to say that it will please
them the mostif Mr.. Sherman decides to
retire.

levc thai the time has arrived when the

eral days ago saying our ministers to

of our intention to retaliate unless the pro-
| hibition of American meats was removed,
were premature.
1t looks now as if the contemplated trip
of Mr.. Harrison to the Pacific Coast would
either have to be postponed or abandoned
altogether, owing to the pressure of official
business. Mr.. Harrison las set his heart
| upon the trip, never having VISITED that
| section Of the country, and he says he will
not give it up If he can possibly get away.
But with the Behriug Sea negotiations, the

waiting to be acted upon, it is not expect
I'd that he will be able to go before May,
