Mr. Valpe soon after commenced a suit for damages against the owner of the dog, but in the meantime the boy died. We learn that the same dog has again attacked a child, mutilating it fearfully. The brute ought to have been killed at first, but it is absolutely criminal now to let it or the owner go at large any longer. —the Star thinks that the Democrats will nominate Judge A. J.

The Fire Department is $23 richer than it was before the Larowe-Livingston entertainment. Several car loads of calves, from Forster's ranch, were shipped to San Francisco yesterday. The gentleman arrested for being drunk was released by the Recorder, yesterday, on his promise to leave town. "A Grand Circular Wolf Hunt" will take place at Artesia on May 1st. A ball will be given in the evening at the new hall in Norwalk. Anaheim beer is becoming favorably known at Los Angeles. Mr. Hinda has been obliged to purchase a wagon especially to supply his customers in that city. The facilities for shipping stock at the Anaheim Depot are very poor, and unless the corrals are enlarged and modified, very few cattle will be shipped from this point. Says the Star: If "Bodine," "Rarus," "Occident" and "Goldsmith Maid" come together as there is now no doubt they will, it will be the finest collection of trotters ever seen in the United States at one time. No course ever showed four such quadrupeds upon the same day. The following items are from the Los Nietos Valley Courier: Corn has been pouring in to the depot this week in a steady stream. On Thursday there were one hundred tons stored in the depot, piled up to the rafters, besides two loaded cars standing on the track... We learn from Mr. Pollard that crops at the Asuza are looking remarkably well, especially the corn, which will yield abundantly. There is not much small grain raised on the Asuza. Considerable more rain tell at Asuza during the last storms, than in this neighborhood... Mr. Charles S. Fisher, formerly of this place, but now residing at Compton, has a fine artesian well on his farm, flowing one and a half inches over the top of the pipe. Mr. Fisher is paid one dollar and a half per day for the use of the water for irrigation purposes... A hen belonging to Mrs. Carney of this locality, attempted and succeeded, too, in laying a remarkably large egg, a few days since. Its dimensions were of inches one way and 8½ the other, with a soft shell. [FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.] The friends of the deceased Miguel Romo would not permit a post mortem examination. "Fine Anaheim Beer" is the heading of an advertisement in the Los Angeles papers. John R. Briforly is not a candidate for State Senator. Ex-Governor Hendricks will arrive in Los Angeles this afternoon. He will probably remain a few days. The San Francisco Commercial Herald says that there is an over-supply of California raisins in the San Francisco market and it is difficult to find sale for them. The Star thinks that the Democrats will nominate Judge A. J. King for Senator, Judge Hopper, of El Monte, and Judge Holloway, of Downey, for Assemblymen. From which it would seem that they have dropped the military and gone into the ranks of the Judiciary for their material. Senatorial and Legislative duties do not require a familiarity with Upton's tactics, nor a knowledge of "Greenleaf on Evidence;" and a man who holds the plow, weighs out sugar, or measures off calico is apt to be as good a legislator as a Colonel or Judge. But a great many people think otherwise. The first of next month is May Day, and the appropriateness of having a picnic commends itself to our attention. It has been customary to do so heretofore, and we don't see why this year should be made an exception. It has been stated that the Brass Band would give a picnic in the Santiago Canyon, but the rumor is only partially correct. We learn that the members are willing to contribute to the enjoyment of the occasion by furnishing music; if the citizens appoint a committee to make the preliminary arrangements, such as selecting the ground, making a dancing platform, etc. We suggest that this be attended to promptly; so that public notice of the picnic may be given in due season. The funeral of Miguel Romo, which was announced to take place on Sunday, was postponed until yesterday afternoon, awaiting the arrival of the mother of the deceased. The funeral was largely attended. Two of Romo's brothers started out on Sunday in search of Aguilar, and it is said, got within five hundred yards of him, when he was warned of his danger and escaped. He is at the Rincon among his friends, which makes his capture an exceedingly difficult one. It is believed, however, that when the excitement against him cools down he will deliver himself up. His defense will probably be that he had a quarrel with Sepulveda, that the latter attacked him, and that in self-defense he drew a pistol and fired at Sepulveda and not at Romo. Sepulveda was yesterday arrested for "conspiring with one Jose Maria Aguilar to murder Miguel Romo," but upon an examination before Judge Bailey sufficient evidence was not adduced to warrant commitment, and the prisoner was discharged.

Mr. Smith, an correspondent of Formay's Philadelphia Press, will no doubt do full justice to Anaheim and its surroundings, as he declared himself heartily pleased with the country. The Engine and Hose Company held a meeting at the Town Hall last evening, for the purpose of electing officers. Mr. S. J. Lowe was elected as Foreman; C. Bemer-schmidt, Ann's Forman; H.

The regular meetings of the Company will be held on the third Wednesday of each month. The meetings will be announced by three taps on the bell." A solemn-looking Detroiter, dressed as a laborer, enters grocery on Michigan avenue, carrying a chest of tea in his arms, and he puts it on the counter and says: "Found it in the lumber pile near the junction this morning. I see from the marks that it belongs to you. Had you missed it?" "Well—ahem—well," coughs the grocer. "It's your chest of tea, of course, and I want no reward for returning it. Right is right, and I try to do the fair thing by everybody." "Yes—ahem—needsn't let this get into the papers—ahem—nor speak to the police—ahem—and take this dollar for your trouble." The chest was hidden under the counter till a leisure moment arrived, and then the grocer opened it in search of Oldong, Japan or best Green. The contents consisted of saw dust, nice clean saw-dust of the highest workmanship. It was only a dollar swindle, but why did that grocer kick the chest across the store, alma the store around and yell to his neck-faced clerk: "Boy, I've a good mind to discharge you for that." BY TELEGRAPH. Railroad Meeting. SANTA BARBARA, April 12. A large railroad meeting was held here last night to devise means to put Santa Barbara in connection with the outer world. Mayor Cook, Chairman, made the opening speech, followed by other leading men. All were favorable to making overtures to any railroad company willing to build to Santa Barbara. It is generally conceded that the Southern Pacific is now the only company that offers any hope of aid. The programme would be to build hence eastwardly via San Buenaventura and the Santa Clara Valley, on the south to a connection with the Southern Pacific at Newhall, and ultimately to extend the line to along the coast to Soledad, thus completing the circuit. A committee, of 25, headed by Col. W. W. Hollister, was appointed who are directed to appoint a subcommittee to at once open correspondence with the proper officers of the Central, Southern, or other Pacific railroads, and ascertain their views, and what terms they are willing to offer, and what aid they will ask of Santa Barbara to give her desired railroad connection. The sub-committee are willing to meet any railroad officials at the time and place to be designated by the latter to confer on the subject and report at another meeting of citizens. The general committee will go-right to work. There is as yet no proposition to bond the county, but private aid is being offered liberally. The committee will co-operate with like committees of San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties, should such be appointed. The railroad sentiment is very strong here. The St. Louis Fire. St. Louis, April 12. About one hundred men have been put to work on the ruins of the Southern Hotel and the force will be increased to one hundred and fifty to-morrow. Mr. Morrow, agent for a New York jewelry house, lost a sample trunk containing $10,000 worth of jewelry. This morning the remains of the trunk were found and about four or five thousand dollars worth of the contents were taken out in a damaged condition. long Supreme Court. The Commission decline to state whether they received any supplemental instructions from the President. They also decline to fix any time for the clos-of their investigations. Messrs. Ray, Leonard and Burch of the Packard Committee handed in to the Commission a ponderous list of officers who had qualified in Packard's Secretary of State's office, accompanied by a certificate of Emile R. Khonora, Packard's Secretary of State, showing that out of 1033 officers commissioned by Packard, 628 whose names are given in the accompanying list, have filed their oath of office according to law. The remaining 405 are Justices of the Peace and Constables who have not made a practice of filing on oath of office with the Secretary of State. It is understood that the Commissioners' session, which lasted till 5 A.M., was considering a message to the President. The tenor of the message is not positively known, but it is believed that it notifies him that they had concluded their investigation under present instructions and suggesting that they were ready to receive any further instructions the President desire to give. Wool at Auction. SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. A new departure in the wool trade of California is about to be introduced by Falkner, Bell & Co., who proposes to sell, through H. M. Newhall & Co., on Tuesday, April 17th, 1,000 bales of wool by auction. The offering is all spring clip and all graded, and will be sold on its merits. The result of the sale is awaited with interest. Such offerings are common in London, Aurukland and Sidney, but unusual in the United States and this is the first of the kind ever announced in this city. It is said the number of Eastern wool buyers here is larger than for many previous Springs, and some of them may be attracted here by the sale, to which attention is here called. Old wool commission houses in this city generally look with disfavor on the innovation. The Festive Baldwin. SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. In the Fifteenth District Court Mary E. Donahue has filed complaint against E. J. Baldwin for seduction. The papers, owing to Baldwin's absence and some mistake made triumph over those who sought to destroy the Union, and the grand result of the war, he alluded to the coming together again of Northern and Southern men in the spirit of harmony and friendship, including those who had fought against one another, and as a prominent feature in this evidence of good feeling on that occasion, he spoke of the kindly manner in which Vice-President Wilson was received on his visit South. In this era of good feeling and reconciliation, he said, there were still persons who talked of bayonets and who sought to revive prejudices of the past. This was much to be regretted; but there was enough to fill every heart with gratitude—the house no longer being divided, and all its inhabitants having a fair start in the race of life. In this and all other speeches, he earnestly condemned the reopening of old issues between the North and South, assuming that the time had come for a complete reconciliation. The President, in further conversation, referred to the fact that the National Republican Convention, which nominated him for the Presideney, passed a resolution sacredly pledging the Republican party to protect every citizen of the United States in his civil and political rights, and declaring that the permanent pacification of the South should be effected by removing all causes of discord. The spirit of this resolution was in perfect accord with his own views previously expressed, and he repeated them in his letter of acceptance of the nomination, and more fully elaborated them on his inaugural address, consistently maintaining the policy of reconstruction and local self-government, apart from military support, and when he entered upon the duties of the presidency he intended that his policy should not be one of sentiment, merely, but of actual administration. He said: "My belief is that this course tends to give good government to the South, tends to secure peace between the sections and between the races and parties at the South, and to secure the rights, interest and safety of the colored people. Therefore I am in favor of the policy. I do not know whether I shall succeed carrying it out, because there are Northern and Southern men who in various ways may possibly thwart me; but of one thing I am confident, namely CROUSAND paste line w w mould; fill it moderate over w bake a little partly with w sauce; garnish apples; correct ornamentation w w citron; reduce fulls of apricots w apples; a OATMEAL cooked suffice from the fact If it is cook hour it will have itself j ten minutes fully it will its peculiarity will fairly dislodge it would need cooked half such as great much the best flat bottom evenly.

About one hundred men have been put to work on the ruins of the Southern Hotel and the force will be increased to one hundred and fifty to-morrow. Mr. Morrow, agent for a New York jewelry house, lost a sample trunk containing $10,000 worth of jewelry. This morning the remains of the trunk were found and about four or five thousand dollars worth of the contents were taken out in a damaged condition. Wm. Feliz, minister, said to be a member of the English House of Commons, who was married here a few months ago, was residing at the hotel with his wife. They became separated, and under the impression that she was killed he became intensely excited, and lost his mental balance. About six o'clock this morning he went to the room of a friend and shot himself. St. Louis, April 13. The disfigured body of a child, supposed to be a girl, was found in the ruins this evening just under the Walnut street entrance. It lay on a small mattress, and evidently fell from the upper story. Mr. Morrow, who recovered a part of his jewelry, has had four barrels filled with ashes taken from the locality where his trunk was found, and sent them to New York to be smelted. Of the 200 employees of the hotel, 150 have reported and others are expected to report to-morrow. It is not believed that many of them are lost. The funeral services of Henry Hazen, one of the victims, were held to-day. Rev. Dr. Schuyler of Christ Church officiating. The remains were forwarded to Newcastle, Pen., his former home. A Row in Prison. Memphis, April 13. While the turnkey of the city prison was going his round this morning he found that the locks on the cells in which the Seymour brothers, who were recently sentenced to the penitentiary for horse-stealing, were confined had been tampered with. Calling assistance he commenced a search when Henry Seymour drew a derringer and at the same time, one of the assistants drew his. Both fired simultaneously. Seymour was killed and the officer was wounded in the scalp. Financial Quotations. SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.

On Monday, April 2d, two plasterers were hired at four dollars per day, for the mastic work on the outside of the rear wall of the Real Estate Associates' building in course of construction on Montgomery street. Thereupon the other plasterers on the building, who were paid but $3.50 per day, demanded $4 also. The strikers were promptly discharged and a new force of men hired, but announced in this city. It is said the number of Eastern wool buyers here is larger than for many previous Springs, and some of them may be attracted here by the sale, to which attention is here called. Old wool commission houses in this city generally look with disfavor on the innovation. The Festive Baldwin. SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. In the Fifteenth District Court Mary E. Donahue has filed complaint against E.J. Baldwin for seduction. The papers, owing to Baldwin's absence and some mistake made since his recent return, have not yet been served upon him, but they will be served to-day and he will be called upon to answer thereto. He is already aware that suit has been commenced against him and it is said alleges it to be without cause and for the purpose of obtaining money. Fatal Mirring Accident. SMARTSVILLE, Cal., April 14. Yesterday seven miners were sent into eternity without a moment's warning. At one o'clock a bank in the Blue Paint claim fall, covering up and killing seven men and wounding six, some of them badly. Names of killed: B.F. Henderson, James H. Monk, Michael McWilliams, Micheal Sweeney, Thomas McDonald, Davis Haltham and Samuel Sleeben. The injured are: Michael and Thomas Conroy, Michael Flagan, James Kelly, Robert Hamilton and M.Brosnan. The wounded were taken out and cared for as soon as possible, and water was turned on to wash out the dead bodies, which was not accomplished until late in the afternoon. To-day business is entirely suspended in respect to the obsequies. War Declared. LONDON, April 14, 2 p.m. War has been declared between Russia and Turkey. Explosion of Nitro Glycerine Cartridges. ARBUCKLE, Cal., April 14. A daughter of Mr. Ward, of this place, met with a probably fatal accident last night during the absence of her parents. The children obtained some nitro-glycerine cartridges and one exploded, fearfully lacerating the child's left hand, face and neck. The thumb and two fingers were amputated, and pieces of the cartridge extracted from the face and neck. She is in a critical condition at present. Proposed Amendment to the Constitution of Utah. SALT LAKE, April 14. At a mass meeting of the-Gentiles, held at the Labor Institute in this city to-day, resolutions were offered by Gen. Nathan Kimball to amend the organizing act of the Territory to read as follows: That all male inhabitants of twenty-one years, citizens of the United States, shall be entitled to vote and be eligible for office; provided, however, that no person living in the practice of bigamy or polygamy shall be permitted to hold any office or to vote at any election, or to act as Letter From Gen. Grant. Gen. Grant has written a letter in reference to a statement that Gen. Lee, at the time of his surrender, wore a splendid sword, and that Gen. Grant waived the surrender of the sword of his vanquished foe, and hastily penciling the terms he demanded, passed the memorandum to Lee, who became visibly affected with emotion on perceiving the generosity with which all the officers of his command were to be treated by their conqueror. The truth of this statement having been denied, Gen. Grant thus comments upon it: WASHINGTON, D.C., March 23, 1877. C.A. Boutelle, Esq., Bangor: The Bangor Whig and Courier's account is strictly correct except in that: Nothing was said about swords, sidearms, baggage or private horses until I wrote the terms of surrender, in which I gave them; at which Gen. Lee was much affected, and said those terms would have a good effect upon his army. He had apparently an entirely new uniforming and a magnificent sword—such as is not usually worn in the field—and it certainly left the impression that the expectation was to surrender it. Nothing was said in the preliminary conversation to warrant the assumption that anything more was to be granted to the rebel army than that they were to be permitted to return to their homes on laying down their arms, and not to be molested in their persons so long as they remained there and obeyed the laws in force thereat. U.S. GRANT. Senator Verry, in the Rhode Island Legislature, is opposing the repeal of the law for bidding the intermarriage of whites and blacks. The law is clearly a relic of barbarism, having stood on the statute books of the State from old slavery days, nearly two hundred years. It is at best, a useless anachronism at this day, when the taste of the people may safely be trusted to settle the matter of colors in matrimony as in dress and furniture. The arguments on neither side develop much that is new, although the following eminent precedents in favor of contrasts in color may not be familiar to all. Says one of the opponents of the law:—The patriarch Joseph—the great Viceroy of Egypt, married a black woman; she was Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah; priest of On.Moses was twice married; each time to a black woman of the Ethiopian race; one was Tharbis, the daughter of an Ethiopian king, the other Zeparah; daughter of Jethro; the priest of Midian. Jethro was an Ethiopian King Solomon married a black woman; an Egyptian princess. His royal queen was one of the most beautiful women of her time. The king, in speaking of her beauty describes her as "she looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun." Her name was Naamah. She is the only woman whose beauty is set forth and celebrated by the Eight Hours vs. Ten. SAN FRANCISCO, April 14. On Monday, April 2d, two plasterers were hired at four dollars per day, for the mastic work on the outside of the rear wall of the Real Estate Associates' building in course of construction on Montgomery street. Thereupon the other plasterers on the building, who were paid but $3.50 per day, demanded $4 also. The strikers were promptly discharged and a new force of men hired, but among them were two who did not belong to the local trade union known as the San Francisco Plasterers' Association, and those who did belong to it refused to work with them. Then the men erecting the building determined to hire plasterers at $4 per day of ten hours. They appear to have had but moderate success; for yesterday the front of the building was made noticeable by an enormous canvass placard, announcing that plasterers were wanted to work ten hours at $4 per day. Superintendent Gerkeson stated that it is not a dispute as to the fairness of wages, but no society men would work ten hours a day for any wages whatever. The Louisiana Convention. NEW ORLEANS, April 13. The Democrat says that all the Commissioners were up all night. Their interviews were fully discussed and the stand taken by each of the parties was carefully canvassed. It is understood that a plan was adopted that is to be laid before Packard and Nichols. One thing is certain—there will no further statements received from individuals after noon. Thursday General Harlan stated that the Commission had finished its labors in that direction and now would begin work on the salvation part of the job. What remains to follow is the consultation over the facts already gleaned. During the morning Judge Wylie was present with a committee of gentlemen who were Union men at the breaking out of the war, and who represent a class hitherto not actively participating in politics. Edward C. Joy and other influential men were of the committee. This has been an eventful day with the Commission. There was much discussion among members without any result that they were willing to communicate to the press. The only delegation received was of sugar planters in the interest of the Nicholas government, headed by ex-Justice Wylie of the Kelowna Matters. NEW ORLEANS, April 15. The proposition to admit all elected members to the Nicholls Legislature is the leading subject of discussion. Conservatives think this will be the basis of settlement. All contestants have agreed to stand aside if the Republicans consent to take their seats in Old Fellows’ Hall. The question of submitting a proposal to this effect will be finally settled by the conservative caucus to-morrow. There seems to be no doubt but the proposition will be made. The Commission will remain here for some days. The President and his Southern Policy. WASHINGTON, April 15. President Hayes yesterday said, in the course of a conversation, that he had no concealments regarding his Southern policy, which, however, had been foreshadowed in written and oral utterances, and in this connection he readvertied to the gubernatorial campaign in 1875, which resulted in his election over Governor Allen, the people of that State having full knowledge of his sentiments of National questions, including, of course, those related to the South. On the 31st of July, 1875, at Marion, he freely and distinctly expressed his opinions. This speech was published at length in the newspapers, and therefore his views were generally known. In that speech, after congratulating his fellow-citizens on the complete trasts in color, may not be familiar to all. Says one of the opponents of the law:—The patriarch Joseph—the great Viceroy of Egypt, married a black woman; she was Asenath, the daughter of Potipharah; priest of On-Moses was twice married, each time to a black woman of the Ethiopian race; one was Tharibis, the daughter of an Ethiopian king, the other, Zeporah, daughter of Jethro; the priest of Midian. Jethro was an Ethiopian. King Solomon married a black woman, an Egyptian princess. His royal queen was one of the most beautiful women of her time. The king, in speaking of her beauty describes her as "she looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun." Her name was Naamah. She is the only woman whose beauty is set forth and celebrated by the holy spirit of prophecy in the world of divine truth. Jereboam, patriot King of Israel, married a black woman, and many other examples might be cited.—Home Journal. "My son, my son," mildly exclaimed a reproving mother, according to the Burlington Hawkee, "untie that cat from the gate-latch, take in that rope you've stretched across the sidewalk, let your little sister out of the wood shed, infasten the cellar door and let the hired girl come up and get to her work, take that sign of 'boarders wanted' off Mrs. Posonby's front door, let Mr. Jasper's dog out of that barrel, throw that paper of gumpowder in your pocket out into the street, and then come here and tell me where you were Friday and Saturday that you weren't at school." The boy said he wasn't prepared to answer just then, but he wouldn't insist on throwing out the report of the school teacher, on the ground that he (the boy) had been unduly intimidated from attending school by the terror of long, hard lessons, and further by the practice of bull-dozing in the parish, as he could establish by trustworthy witnesses. Pending the decision of the board he filed a number of protests, but his mother pronounced his attitude revolutionary and sent to his father's office for troops, which arrived about bed time, and the local government was at once supported and order enforced, and as the boy went up to bed without any supper, and in custody of the troops, the throes of a free people, struggling in the iron grasp of a domestic despotism, could be heard away down on the next street, where the other boys were lifting gates off their hinges and carrying them down to the creek. Bob Ingersoll is coming to California. Ex-Congressman Lorenzo Sabine died in Boston on Saturday, aged 45 years. The Cincinnati Commercial man says: "Africa produces the most undressed black kids." As we cannot tell a good peanut until we bite into it, so it is with life. You can never know a man's good qualities until you strike him for a loan. Recipes. CROUSETTE OF APPLES—With some short paste line a well-buttered, high, large tart-mould; fill it with dried flour and cook in a moderate oven for twenty minutes; remove and brush off the flour; egg the inside and bake a little longer, to dry the paste; fill partly with very consistent sweetened apples, garnish with eight or more peeled apples, cored and cooked whole in syrup; ornament with fanciful cuts of angelic and citron, reduce the syrup with two tablespoonfuls of apricot marmalade, cool, pour over the apples, and serve cool in a folded napkin. OATMEAL MUSH: This article is seldom cooked sufficiently. That results partly from the fact that oatmeal is so good natured. If it is cooked twenty minutes or half an hour it will become entable. It evidently behaves itself just as well as it can, but cook it ten minutes longer and see how bountiful it will repay your attention to its peculiarities. Cook it an hour and it will fairly dissolve in savors so delightful that it would not seem the same article as that cooked half an hour. The coarser oatmeals, such as groats, or Boyle & Lyle's Irish, are much the best for mush. A kettle with a flat bottom is preferable, as it cooks more evenly. In the last number of the London Cour Circular is narrated a social tragedy, to the meaning of which it is impossible to shunt our eyes. Among the guests who were assembled at a dinner party was a lady of exquisite form, whose delicate plumpness was the theme of unusual masculine admiration. To her was presented a small bunch of flowers by an admirer whose duty it was to escort her to dinner. She gracefully accepted the gift, and in a thoughtless moment fastened it to her bosom with a pin, searching and far-reaching. By the time she reached the dinner table she was a mere wreck. The pin had perforated her bosom, not wisely, but too well, and that bosom was merely a part of the outer India rubber woman which concealed the real bony residue from the gaze of deceived society. Of course, there was nothing left for her to do but to faint, and she promptly did so. Her friends gathered her once oxuberant charms into a narrow but compact bundle, and removed her to her carriage. The Judges at the recent Godefroy trial for murder in Paris, were so exceedingly deferential to the prisoner that the Charivari pays its respects to them as follows: "So my good friend, you acknowledge having killed your wife?" "Yes, Judge." "Permit me to observe that you were perhaps a little too rough in opening her throat with a razor." "I was, Judge." I would suggest then, if you marry again, that it will be bet- The Judges at the recent Godefroy trial for murder in Paris, were so exceedingly deferential to the prisoner that the Charicaria pays its respects to them as follows: "So, my good friend, you acknowledge having killed your wife?" "Yes, Judge." "Permit me to observe that you wore perhaps a little too rough in opening her throat with a razor." "I was, Judge." I would suggest then, if you marry again, that it will be better not to have a razor in the house." "I will promise you, Judge." "Do my questions fatigue you? If so, we can postpone the case until to-morrow." "They do not, Judge, I would prefer having a verdict to-day. I am very uncomfortable in prison." "You are uncomfortable! Why did you not let me know? I would have sent you to a country house I have near Paris, and every Sunday we could have gone fishing together." Literary young man at a party: "Miss Jones, have you seen Crabbes' Tales!" Young lady scornfully: "I was not aware, sir, that crabs had tails." Young man covered with confusion: "I beg your pardon, ma'am. I should have said, read Crabbes' Tales!" Young lady, angrily scornful: "And I was not aware that red crabs had tails either." Exit young man. The Place to Buy YOUR GROCERIES, Hardware, Etc., IS AT H. W.
