their blue blood would be far happier with
pure blood; but, while we cannot choose
our ancestors, fortunately by the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, we can transmit pure

LEGISLATIVE APPoRT1oNMENT.

The new Legislative Apportionment
law is fairly just measure, and the con-
cessions necesstated by the smallness OF
the Dem ocratic majority, in order to pre-
vent o! struction and possibly defeat, did
injustice TO some Democratic as well Ms
to some Republican districts. Albany
boldly insisted on retaining its four mem
bers, although it had absolutely no right
to them. Its surplus was smaller than
that of several other counties. and its
rate of increase since 1875 has been only
l3i. per cent, against 9j1 per cent. in
Kings County. 75ig in Erie, 70 in New
York, 6s in Queens and 22jG in Rens-
selaer. Audacity and threats, however,
secured the county an Assemblyman to
which it is not entitled.
NewYork and Kings sacrificed one men,
Der each for the sake of harmony. New
York has full ratios for 81 Assemblymen
and Kings for 10. They agreed to accept
30 and ~.

THE oHIRP FOR PURPs AND OTHER PUR-
POSES.

A gentleman on Broadway last night,
chirpcd TO his poodle and n young lady
walking ahead Of him. thinking that the
chirp was meant for her, wheeled around
and slapped the chirper iu the face. He
had tho lady arrested, but when she
learned her mistake she begged his par
don. and chirper, chirpee and poodle
went Il cir ways satisfied.
There was nn exchange of cards
between the nhirper and gentleman who
espoused the ladys cause, so that the
innocent and CHEEKY little chirp that
tickIed the night air may yet lend to the
perforation of somebody's coat tails or the
loss of several plumbugo bullets IN the
overhanging b,ue.
The chrp il as yet M unformulated
mode of signalling. Many time it has
been construed offenslvely when il was
emitted III the purest innocence OF heart.
Chirpers who chirped for something else.
or merely for the sake OF chirpirg, have
suddenly found themselves IN q mael-
strom of womanly fury, because some
super latiye-neryed creature imagined
that the chirp wns meant for her
The trouble with the chirp is TINT it
needs to be codied. There ought to be
ono kind of chirp for poodles, another
for Maltese cats, still another for stop
ping street-cars and one with soIfeggio
gussets and tiorature frills for arresting
the attention of young ladies who gIva
heed to such things when promcnading
Broadway at night.

The Champion Coincidence Story.
Among the stories OF extraordinary cOinci-
dcnCcS, writes the London correspondent OF
the Leeds Merom'y not the least curious Is
the history Of a letter, for the accuracy OF
which he can vOuch.
A short time ago lady In London wished
to write to a friend In America whose address
she did not know. The only means she had
OF procuring the address was to write to "A
mutual friend, who also lived in America.
This she accordingly did, and the letter was
duly despatched.
The ship which carried the letter was
wrecked, and the mails for a time lost They
were eventually recovered and brought back
to England, the letters, now much damaged
by sea water, being returned through the
dead-let ter otllce to the senders.
The letter in question was sent back to the
lady, who naturally examined II minutely
To her surprise she found that another letter
had become closely stuck tOit
Holding up the twolold missive to the
light, she deciphered the address on the one
which was stuck to her own. 1t was letter
addressed to the friend to whom she had
wished to write and to discover whose where
abouts her own letter had been despatched.
Her letter thus literally brought back its
own answer.
