Sometime ajxo \vn published an nc"iiinit of liowa certain man in the Four •entli ward went out on his roof,decorated with wimple niglit shirt, to light enrtidn eats with his old hoots ami wo related how (ha! man elia.sed tiiose eats along over fifteen or twenty rools, and then returned, wont down the wrong trap door, eoiiie up again suddenly with a man after him, and watched the old •ar out lying iij against a chimney, while a policemen (ired at him holow until dawn. Of course thatHtory was a pun- fiction and for the heroof it we invented a name which we will say was 'inilh although really it was something

Ine. Well, about week afterwards, vho should come down here hut a man vho.se si mpi ieity had a certain gorgeous ichs about it that actually commanded sped. Ilcsaid hi* name was Smith, ii'l he lived In the Fourteenth ward a uniform row of houses such as had described and as he was the on-

Smith in the Fourteenth ward who did, he felt called upon to saj- that (ho narrative in question wiman audacious nd infamous falsehood. "Take care, Sinit we said, fixing nir eyes on tiie indignant old jackass— 'lake care! this thing can be subsUniated lo you mean to say that you, Iressed in your night shirt, ver fought, eats out on your roof with old le lOlS "Never!'' sal 1 Smith, "never!

'1 me.in that your assertion is not rue that I got out of lied in my nightiirt, threw'tlp the trap-door, ami went nit on the roof of my house to light •ats. II's a base lie!" 'Such an assert ion was not inado in I his paper. Smith. If you had been netMised of throwing up a trap-door, we hotild have expected to have the I'mcr of scorn pointed at us ii stantly by wry man who reeogni/.ed Ihelaet that :i human being named Smith to row up a trap-doot is physiological possibility he could not do it."

tug it said Smith "what I want to understand is that I never fought sin my night-shirt in my life! That'b hat 1 mean!" "We lo "understand that, my son. ml we otler as a soul intent, to bo drank anding. May our reverend friend niih neyer have any cats in his ght-shirt, even if lie wants to fight "in or in his trowser-legs, either." "Look here!" said Smith, trying to he »lni "you said that went out on the f, while was dressed in ny night* rt for the purpose of fighting ats." 'Wedidn't say you wero dressed in a tht-shirt for that purpose nor did we sert that it was j/ohv night-shirt. It light have been one of tioverner enry's night-shirts for nli we know."

What an oasy thing it is to drive a locomotive, says the National Gir llnililrr. Pull a lever, away she goos push it, she slacks up and stops. That's all. The quick eye, firm hand, prompt courage, the knowledge of every furlong of the road, tho putting on steam on an ascent, or the shutting otT on down grade, the difference of expansion in the rails between hot and cold, wet and dry, and the perpetual risk of life and limb and property are matters unknown to people who pay their fares take their tickets, and get to their journey's end. All tho whilo their lives liavo been in the hands of a grimy looking man, at the end of tho train, whom, if they meet him on the platform, they avoid, lust they should soil their silks or kerseymeres by tho eontact. These men sfiould be, and often are scientifically educated but they have no social position, and their wages are absolutely inadequate to their responsibilities. The conductor is a personage of consideration, the petted of passengei-s, and tlie respected of directors. The engineer is a mere melianic. The world is full of irregularities and injustice.

Travels.—We hnvo

lately been placed in tlie possession of a fact that shows how nearly allied to the reason of a man is the 'instinct of tho brute creation.

Not long since, a lady residing in the interior of Missouri, left her home on a visit to some relatives living in Kentucky, taking with her a favorite dog, On arriving in I-joui.sville she missed her pet, and search and inquiry failing to elicit aught concerning him, she was compelled to continue her journey without him. Fourteen days after tho lady had left her home,the family were surprised at the appearance of "Fido," whom they thought worrying the pigs or "baying the moon," in far oft Kentucky. Not less than nine hundred miles had been traversed by his dogshin, and when it is remembered that he had been brought by rail, and could have had no' trail to lead hirn back to his old quarters—that the Hroad Ohio, and tho still broader Mississippi, not to mention hundreds of streams of smaller proportions, lay between him and iiis puppyhood's home, tin journey was a remarkable one, and r: such must ever distinguish this."dumb brute," as a reinarkablo dog.
