ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Since the election is over and our Bird
ward succeeded in getting the alderman of
its choice, we can resume strictly West
End local affairs. and in beginning there,
we regret to have to mention that one of
the Misses Moore, during the renovation
of the Home Villa. of which Col. Moore is
the owner and proprietor, received pain
tul hurt from piece of moulding falling
on her head; happily the young lady will
soon be restored.
Col. r. b. Johnson has moved into his
new West End home; he probably fastened
his removal to our suburb by hearing that
the West End lake was very generous of
late in giving up to skillful anglers some
very large fish.
Capt. Ramsey, whose family moved
back into the city during the week, has
not withdrawn his cheerful countenance
from us. and is still to be found in charge
of the West End offices.
The new row boats on the lake are
drawing boating parties daily from the
city.
West End and vicinity is trying hard to
be ahead of other suburbs i'm putting on her
spring dress, but there will be no spring
poetry to help her. 5.

Attempted Stabbing ARRAY.

Yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock,
Joe Livingston, Familiarity known as
"Shortie," left the gambling house where
he is employed and started to his home,
in the western portion of the city. As he
reached the corner of Buena Vista street
he noticed strange looking Mexican
standing In the road. Paying littla at
tention to the supposed vagrant, Living
ston went on his way. AS he reached
Washington square he heard footsteps
approaching and soon di covered that he
was being pursued by this night prOwer.
Three minutes later the fellow was i'm
mediately behind Livingston, and the
two came together. The Mexican made
an effort to stab his victim, but was I'M
successful, Livingston being too rapid
He was conveying to his home large bar
of iron, and as soon as the attempt at
stabbng was made, the Mexican received
one blow over the wrist, dropped his dag
ger and ran away at speedy gait. The
knife was picked up by Livingston. but
the Mexican has not been heard of since.
II is the general belief that the Mexican
was DESTROYS of committing an assault
and highway robbery.

Don't Be Uneasy.

During the recent campaign Mr.. Pas
chal and the gentlemen on his ticket,
told the people, the city books would be
thrown open, and now rumOrS are flying
thick and fast that the marshal'S books
will be retained by Capt. Shardien, the
city clerks books by Mr.. ClaudOn, and
that PancoaSt or Nelson, aids of the pres
ent city surveyor would hold on 10 the
city surveyors books. Now don't be-
leve that any more than the equally
silly reports that George PaSchal will
show his appreciation of democratic help
by giving the prepOnderance OF appoint
mentS to the followers of that party, or
that the election being over no one would
blame him now if he helps his own party
friends. Don't become foolish. Mr.. Pas
chaI will select the most meritoriOus Of
the applicants, and while in doing so it
might perhaps benefit a really good man
who opposed him. it will not shut his
eyes to his friends. Await the mayors
and the council action. and you will find
ont the people will find no fault with
them A CITIZEN.

to meet them. To bring the city to a

undertaking for this administration. To
project any extensive public work, will
require time and careful consideration.

Birds Losing Fear of Sparrows.

DR.. Hazard is led to hope from
his observations that native Amer
lean birds are losing their fear of the
sparrow, and that the despotic reign
of the latter may be near its end.
Although as hostile as ever, the spar
rows seem to be growing more dis
Greet in their attacks. At any rate,
robins and other birds esteemed for
their plumage and song appear in
increasing numbers year by year,
and show the disposition as well as
ability to hold their own.
An interesting statement is that
some birds, noticing that sparrows
Stunned the tops of high trees, aban-
doned their habit of building their
nests near the ground and estab-
ished their homes in lofty perches.
This affords an example of reason
overcoming instinctin the bird mind.
If the aggressions of the sparrow are
to be checked by more pluck and
persistence on the part of other
birds, the fact will be both interest
ing and welcome. ROCHESTER Dem

Queen Victoria Attending Lectures.

When Sir Richard Owen lectured
to the royal family the whole court
attended, with any visitors that hap
pened to be staying at the castle, and
when the king of the Belgians was
there two large armchairs were
brought into the center of the room,
and the queen and the king sat to-
gether. But sometimes the course of
studies of the young princes and
princesses was of a purely private
nature, and then it was that the
professor noticed the door of their
workroom often ajar and a mys-
ferrous rustling on the other side.
He afterward discovered that the
queen used to bring a chair and sit
outside in order to listen to his lee
ture when her majesty felt so dis
posed. Globe.

Swallowing Cholera Microbes.

Two well known Munich physi-
clans Professor Pettenkofer and
Professor Emmerich-have, in the
interests of science, been making
some dangerous experiments with the
dreaded cholera microbe. Choosing
time when they were both in full
health, they swallowed large guam
tity of comma bacilli, and the result
of the risky experiment has been to
prove, at least so far as they are con-
cerned, that these "edged tools" may
be played with in comparative safe
ty. Their general health has not
been affected at all, though both for
a time suffered from diarrhea.
Professor Pettenkofer concludes
therefore that epidemic cholera is in
duced not by any disposition toward
the disease in individuals, but only
by local conditions which thorough
cleanliness and good sanitary ar
rangements can remove.-London

A Human Frog.

Inspector New, of the Society for

pool. While investigating a case of
alleged child desertion, he met with a
youth apparently about eighteen
years of age, who had the appearance
of a large frog. He was entirely
naked, and was hopping about the
stone floor of his fathers house with
the movements of frog. The in
spector left the house to communi-
cate the matter and take action if
necessary, but on returning found
that the human frog had been sold

A LACK OF REPOSE,
A Strong Characteristic of the Great
American People.

A Strong Characteristic of the Great
American People.
It is often said that Americans lack
repose. Although there are un-
doubtedly exceptions to this rule, it
is painful fact that repose, either
of body or speech, is not strong
characteristic of the American ma
ton. An elderly gentleman was
obliged to wait over an hour in a
railway station for a certain train.
The day was warm, and the people
Esat about the room in various atti-
tudes suggestive of great exhaustion
and discomfort.
I'm so tired it seems as if I should
dleW said one woman to another, as
they sank each into rocking chair
and deposited their bundles on the
floor. They began to rock violently +;
each flushed face grew redder and
redder. They had not strength
enough to talk, but they rocked
steadily on, until Cars ready for
Squantum and way stations!" smote
the air.
At this cheering announcement the
two women suspended their exercise,
gathered up their bundles and walked
ifelessly out to the train.
There was middle aged man who
came in with his wife and two boys.
"Sophy," he said, as he sat down
heavily on one of the benches, "1et's
all keep still and get rested before we
have to go into that smothering car. "
And Sophy agreed that it would be
wise to do so.
In the twenty minutes that the
group sat in the station the man who
was going to "keep still" crossed and
uncrossed his legs fourteen times ac-
cording to the elderly gentleman's
count. His wife buttoned and I'M
buttoned her jacket four times and
made five thorough examinations of
the contents Of her bag. The chill
dren made dozen excursions to the
door.
Among all the tired people who
came and went during the elderly
gentlemans sojourn in that waiting
room there was not one who kept
perfectly still.
AS in philosophical and plying
mood he recounted his observations
at supper, his wife said smiling:
poor things! They didn't know
the first principle of rest. And you
were tired too, my dear; I can see
that from your forehead"
The elderly gentleman rose hastily
from the table; one glance at the
telltale mirror convinced him that,
while sitting in Judgment over that
railway assemblage, he had been
vigorously employed at his old time
trick of rubbing his forehead the
wrong way.-Youth's Companion.

The Fox and the Grapes.

A writer, who is much talked
