 Many people are aware that printers have a language of their own, unintelligble to the uninitiat- ed. The following up-to-date orders give an idea of the print ing office lingo: Billy, put Sir Charles Tupper on the galley, ,and finish up that murder you com menced yesterday. Set upruins of Helculaneum and distribute the smallpox. Lock up IIaurier and slide M'Carthy in the hell box and leave the pie alone until after dinner. Put the lady's form to press and go to the devil and put him to work on Deacon Fogg's article on Eternal Punish ment.' Now this is all simple enough when translated by the printer into English, and not linear so rough as the reader may imagine. .-Ex.
 It is said that when man be- comes the father of bouncing girl baby there is then but one thing to make him happier in the world and that is to be the father of 8 bouncing baby boy" Our friend J. M. Haggard came up on Monday last and subscribed for the News. While here he exhib- ited the picture of fhis four months old daughter, of whom Mir. flag gard is especially proud. He says there are other girls in town, but none are so winsome and pretty as his daughter Agnis. Os course it would be unwise for Us to say that she is the prettiest baby in town, however, she cer- tainly is a pretty baby and our friend can well be proud of her. As beauty is one of the essential features of young womanhood we predict much trouble at our our friend s home when Miss Az nes becomes a young Miss.
 The case of Ada Lewis and Mol lie Hunt (both coll charged with disturbing the peace on last Sat urday was called before Mayor Raney last Saturday evening and each fined $500 and cost. Cab is great thing among some wo- men. A woman's lips are the rose, and her tongue is the thorn, and when excited as the above mentioned women were on this occasion, they usually start off like steam calliope and like the Idaho savages, all h-l can't stop them" On Monday Ada was arraigned before the mayor upon the charge of assault and battery. Ada didn'. seem to think she had had $500 worth out of Mollie on Saturday and ac- cordingly laid for her adversary with a small size tree" with which she dealt out several blows on her opponent. Of course this brought on more trouble in court and the mayor says she had over reached herself to the extent of $2 50 and cost in meting out her revenge. We wonder if she got her moneys worth out of the last assault"
