"Of course people will talk" said tn
msn In front OF the postoffice, shut you e
bet your old boots that mans hide ha
70 be pretty thick nowadays TO stand al
Inc talk that Is going around thes
corners. Why sir as stand here in m.
Office and listen 20 the talk hear / hay
(h)car ache. Upon my word you woul'
DC surprised 10 hear a man back-cal
some other man and in minute wheI
the man who Is being back capped
comes along he grasps his hand as though
ne Was long lost brother, and asks
alter his health and the health OF his
wife and children, and you would think
that he was going to lend him some
money, he Ia so very cordial. On, ltell
you Charles, this Is n bunco world as lar
as some, we, among the rest OF poor NOR
tails, are concerned.
81 noticed that you had something In
THE NEWS last evening in regard TO my
old friend, Bob Ingersoll. You took the
right view of it. that is your view, but
there Is many a man who Is all ready
TO commit suicide, but he really
can't afford IL. / think Ingersol Is pretty
near right. What do we know about lot
OF guess-so stuff that happened over ten
thousand years ago? III a man thinks the
best thing he can do Is TO get of the
as IngersOll does, that any one who at
tempts suicide aud fails should not he
treated as criminal or be considered,
IL successful, as having committed a
crime. You may try TO cOntrovert Inger-
soils argument, but you or any other
newspaper writer or in fact any one who
attempts TO take a fall out OF Bob will get
the worst of it. Probably the whole
scheme is an advertising dodge to attract
peoples attention to some lectures he in
tends 10 deliver this winter but he is a
pretty slick article just the same"
The happiest days of boys lite are his
chool days. How thankful the boy
should be who has thorough education
10 start life with.
DO you ever think of the disadvantages
the boy has TO labor under who has no
education. IL you do not it is worth
'A'"A's 0'' -.
Let's soc. In regard TO the English and
Classical School of 90 Snow street and the
extraordinary advantages it offers to pu-
pills i just want to briefly refer to the
teachers as / promised in ldst evenings
News.
Charles b. Goff Is the principal of the
classical department, Howard M. Rice of
English and scientific department; the
former gentlemen has occupied his present
position since 1864 and the latter since
1865. Both gentlemen are in the fullness
of cultured manhood and eminentiy fitted
Tor the positions which they so gracefully
occupy. Richard w. Smith, the principal
of the junior department, was appointed
IN 1873, Mrs. Harriet M. Miller, teacher of
reading and elocution, was appointed in
1872, Mrs. Harriet Dean has had charge of
the preparatory department since 1875,

Some idea can be got OF the magnitude |
OF this school, and what a student has in |
the way OF tutors to thoroughly prepare |
and instruct him. School opens Monday. |
Have you been over in the depot lately? |
There Is one redeeming feature i'm the old |
landmark, and only recently was that |
rescued from the general air OF wreckage
aud decay. IL came about this way: A |
live, up to-the- times gentleman. who
thoroughly understands his business,
came into possession of the restaurant
and he put IL into business shape with the |
result that he was repaid by an ifnmedi-
ate increase in trade, not only of the
traveller but the general public as well.
The gentleman refer to IL Mr.. +. j.
hart, formerly proprietor of the New
Haven depot restaurant and at one time
superintendent OF the great Wanamaker
in Philadelphia. This |
serves TO introduce the gentleman. There
2 ladies dining room connected with
Ihe fine lunch counter. Comely lady at
lendants wait on the patrons, and there
g tine fruit and cigar department. 10 ac-
,ommodate the public
was In there the other day and motto
lat man eating. He had one order. OF
'oast beef with mashed and sweet pota-
oes, green corn, etc. / looked at il. |
aw at glance that 10 was all right. The
nan was hearty eater and Mr. Hart was
doubtless glad OF it. Try the depot
estaurant under the new management
when IN that vicinity. It's all right.
Catching a freight.
Do you know what catching freightn
means 2 IL is an expression used by the
nan who spends his time going from one
own 70 another looking for work. | was
Rik1ng with one OF the knights OF the ,
DAD last evening, who said, i'm answer 10
here h0 was heading for, that he was
olng 10 catch freight" He snid he had
'aikei from Boston TO this city, and was
louider by trade. Continuing he re-
iarked: You might as we'll ask
man for his pockctbook nCw-a- days as to
TX HIM for job. On my way here
SPIT az Dedham. / had the broad canopy
heaven above me and the soft nine
eeules for bed. But, so long. Pm
0tng to see IL / can catch freight" and h
lie started for the freight yard to climb o
n outgoing car, with the knowledge II
iat there was no likelihood OF being 8
iro~n of while the car was in motion. 4
Never talk unless you have something =
