A REPORTERS TRICK.

Every one has heard of Horace Gree ley's handwriting and Of the peculiari- ties which made it famous For com plicated and bewildering obscurity it stood unsurpassed. The vagaries of his pen in travelling over a sheet of pa per bore. as it seemed. but a chance resemblance to words. and could only be translated by those whom long prac- aice had qualified for the task The following story relates an incident in which enc oi his letters was made to serve a purpose precisely the revers of that intended by the author:
 "A reporter whose work was not up to the standard required by Mir Gree Icy was discharged in the editors usual style. and bore the well known sigma ture. It occurred to the young man this letter might be advanta geCus!v used as a recommendation. since the mysterious hieroglyphics might mean almost anything.
 He went to western town. and there offered the letter at a newspaper office as q nattering testimonial of merit. No one being able to prove the contrary. he had little difficulty in se curing an excellent position on the strength of the encomfums which h. asserted the letter contained. "-Ney- York Times.

TEMPE

"The Minstrels.' Friday night. to which Tempe had looked forward with so much interest. was a grand success. Kingsbury hall was filed to overflow ing. When the audience arose to leave it seemed impossible that so many people could have found seats in so small a space And in truth. they did not an find seats. fer the aisles were partly, filled, and even the windows were utilized by spectators who were not to be denied on account of made ouate : accommodations The pro Eramue was rendered as it was print cd with tTo exceptions.

SeIestinc's countrymcn in particular showed their appreciation. The orchestra then gave selection. Prof. Arnlijo leading. and the programme was closed by a piece Of smooth trickary that imposed upon and delighted the audience beyond measure.
 This final number was called Sub :stitut4oa... It was handled by Messrs Cummings and Ora ndar. who succeeded in thoroughly nystiiying everyone.

EVOLUTION OF URBAN TRANSIT.

Ii was only the other day-to be ex- act in l&S9-that Mr. Howells, in "A
 Hazard of New Fortunes" made MT. and Mrs. March observe the following
 stage of locomotion from a window n Broadway with the amazement that
 marked their reflections of the strides that had been made in a few years. They recalled the Broadway of five. of ten, of twenty years ago. swelling and roaring with tide of sayly painted
 omnibuses and of picturesque traffic that the horse cars have TOW banishcd from it. The grind of their wheels an.l the clash of their harsh bells imper- iectly fill the silence that the or1lnibus=s have left. and the eye misses the. tu- lhuItuous perspective of former times. And yet the horse car has disappeared as completely as the old omnibus had vanished then. and we are now on the eve of contemplated changes in tho ca ble Pdr and sieotric s.-stem ol street
