Things We See and Hear.
SWALLOWED HIS DIME.

When Cnrse Paynton was showing in
our city at the Grand Opera House he, as
was usual with him, was looking around
the house, at the large crowds which pat
ronized his shows at popular prices. He
was standing in the hallway In the second
floor in front of the entrance to the gallery
when his ears were greeted by small size
baby crying away for dear life. Mr.. Pay.
ton asked the baby what was wrong with
him, that he shed tears SO copiously,
that he had nearly exhausted his tear
bag.
The boy replied that he had had his
dime in his mouth to purchase q seat ID
de gallery when holly gee another COM
panion hauled off and struck me- lick In
de back and l swallowed me money. This
was told between the sobs which after re-
citing the boy found another fresh supply
Of tears.
Well, said Mr. Payton you are in q de-
vii of u fix. you are ten cents in and ton
cents out"
The boy was passed in and soon forgot
where his dime had passed TO in his exu-
beratons of watching the performance,
that he so narrowly missed by meeting
with his misfortune in swallowing his mo-
ney.

Does Not Expect War.

Harrisburg, Feb Ex-Governor Hast
ings arrived home last night from New
Haven, and was asked what he thought
of the present alleged troubles be-
tween the United States and Spain.
While he did not care to discuss the
matter, he intimated very plainly that
he did not think there was the least
possibility of any immediate trouble
between the two countries. AS proof
of this belief the executive will in
few days leave for the Pacific coast,
to be absent three weeks. Almost
every mail brings to him letters offer
ing to raise troops to offer the govern

newspapers in London and New York

Julian Pauncefote, is supposed to have
written, containing strong expressions
regarding the American senate's rejec-
ton Of the arbitration treaty. The
idea, according to The Daily Mail, was
to compel Sir Julian to follow Senior
Dupuy De LONE. The paper adds
THE campaign failed, but it is evident
that Sir Julian Pauncefote will have
to tread warily."
