The st. Paul Pioneer Press thus de-
livers itself regarding this state: cat
present the dispute in the legislature of
Rhode Island is so tangled up that it is
next to impossible to keep any track Of
il. The performances OF this funny little
state for several years past are enough to
make people sorry that the other twelve
colonies dragged her into the nnion by
main strength" This may be interest
ing in the wild and woody Northwest,
but here in Rhode Island u trifle more
truth is necessary TO make such q lie
Interesting.
The Varsity races will contest the
honors this week with the Borden trial,
with the chances in favor of the latter.

In n certain swell restaurant Of this
city the walters have two absorbing am
bitions, one TO gain liberal tip by snare
attention, and second to gain sufficient
dexterity in juggling and mixing drinks,
to graduate from the table to the bar
Which OF these two ambitions is the
greater is hard to distinguish, since to
your eyes the Juggling seems the favor
tie, but toyour change pocket the fishing
for tiUs seems to have the biggest cinch.
At all events 1t is OF the glass Juggling
that / shall speak. Now there Is the
most intense rivalry between these wait
ers-they stoop TO such earthly things
Just as we common mortals do--as to
who shall be first to stand behind real
bar and mix real drinks. So in spare
hours and in hours that are not spare
these knights of the napkin assiduously
practice the delicate art OF pouring from
q goblet in one hand to u goblet in the
other, all the time increasing and de-
creasing the distance between the two
tilf the operation looks like a molasses
caody pull under new circumstances.
The fad has become such mania that
the hotel proprietor OF the -, al
most told the name, has taken out of
each mans pay the money for broken
glasses. One man Is now the envy of the
others since he bought two tin cups and
practices with those. These gentlemen
Lave a regular system OF signals. and in
stead of matching pennies lose or win
each others money by the simple method
of juggling the glasses. The mania is
spreading aud even the other hotel wait
ers are getting on to the game and still
the juggling goes merrily on.
