TALES OF THE DAY.
Speeding the Parting Guest.

''The Ohio host" says a correspondent
of the Rochester POst-Express, ''wearied
out of all endurance by the Dersistency
of his guest, chose as his medium the
family prayer after breakfast and said:
% Lord. bless our visiting brother. who
will leave us on the 10 o'clock train this
morning. l prefer the subtler and more
reverent method of another Ohiean. the
father of William Dean Howells. the nov
elist. His practice was, when a visitor
had worn out his welcome. TO be called
away on business and to say to his guest:
i suppose you will not be here when |
return, so l will wish you goodby.'
Excellent and highly appreciated by the
boys was the formula used by Dr.
Vaughn, when. as headmaster of Har-
row school. he had to entertain the high
est form in the school in patches at
breakfast. COmmiserating the bashful-
ness OF the lads who did not know how
to leave and yet wanted to do so the
doctor would say-aproDos of nothing
Must you go? Can't you stay?" This
was the signal for departure. [ admire
very heartily the transposition OF a blum
dering narrator. who. in telling this story
gave the formula as Cant you go2 Must
you stay2" fellow feeling makes one
wondrous kind 10 this revised version.

 Engine No. 16 on the Western railroad has an attraction now that few engines in the south possess. It Is an electric head light run by a motor in the cab of the en- zine. which Is itself run by the steam. The headlight is great improvement on the old style, giving light that is almost blinding in it's Intensity and throwing a brilliant light for many hundred feet ahead of the train.

The matter is of too much importance to place ourselves on record either way as to the final outcome, but reading the tape, we would say no war. We pride ourselves as the only house that furnished their cor respondents the main paragraphs oft the message just as they were read, sentence by sentence in congress. Final prics were best of the day.
