BARNEY JENNINGS CHARGE.

Barney Jennings lived very IN
eventful life in his Carolina home until
the breaking ont of the late civil war.
His opportunities were very few, and
he had ndt awaited himself of those he
might have seized. He was a shiftIess.
harmless. happy-go-lucky fellow. with
abundance of leisure and little or no
cash.
When he offered his services as a sol
der in the southern army the captain
was averse to accepting him because of
his unsavorv reputation, and only
yielded after most urgent entreaty on
the part of the ne'er.do.weel. Barney
served in the army Of the Potomac. or

Whatever scruples he may have had

THE STORM.

the Gales.
The storm with its accompanying gales
played havoc with the wires of the incan-
descent electric light service last night and
they are down in many places. Aside from
this it has done no damage, but been very
beneficial. The greatest good has been felt
i'm connection with the water works, and the
reservoirs of both the old water company and
the borough plant will be very much replen-
ished. The rain is the heaviest Of the season.
Those acquainted with the operations of
such affairs say that there should be no more
complaint about drought until after next
spring, as the rain brought by the present
storm soaks into the ground and springs that
have been holding back for a good start must
now yield their storage.
The commercial and street electric lights
were out of service for an hour last night.
The trouble was thought by the people to be
due to breaking of wires by the gales, but
inquiry at the station brought out the in
formation that the plant was obliged to sus-
pend operations on account Of a lack Of water

The other day his employer gave him a
package to deliver on South Jardin street
with specific instructions not to leave it at
the wrong house. This bright youth has a
sweetheart, and he is so badly smitten that
her name is continually upon his mind, and
as a consequence he was hardly half way to
his destination on this particular occasion
before he forgot the number of the house. In
his efforts to find the number on the door, he
used up two boxes of blue-hcad matches and
the neighbors became frightened at his
antics. They mistook him for robber, and
the shreks of the women caused him to re-
trace his steps to the shop. lie now declares
he'll never deliver any more goods. Do you

81 never saw garment too fine for a

Holmes; there never was a chair too
good for q cObbler or a cooper or q
king to sit in-never house too fine
to shelter the human head. These ele-
ments about us-the glorious sun, the
imperial moOn-are not too good for the
human race. Elegance fits man; but we
do not value these tools little more
than they are worth, and sometimes
mortgage a house for the mahogany we
bring into il. l would rather eat my
dinner off the head of barrel, or dress
after the fashion of John the Baptist In
the wilderness, or sit on a block all my
life, than consume all on myself before
l get home, and take SO much pains
with the outside when the inside was
as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is
a great thing; but beauty Of garment,
house and furniture are tawdry Orna-
