AS EDITORS TROUBLES. The Deep, Orirn Silent* of the Fourth tXory

Nu one ever comes up Into ihe room a Of the top of a four story building MI •pail for tbe staff of a daily paper. This Is why every article reads so even! and smoothly. All you've got to do you belong to the staff Is to clitnb up there, sit nil dav long In the deep, grim •Hence, and when midnight comes you Cin lower yearself down stairs with Consciousness that every article will read like clock-work.

Yesu*rduy morning I commenced an article entitled ''The Unseen Iufluences Of the Spirit Woi Id," und bad got as far as to SMV that "Although we bear no voices, tnero hi some subtile influence pervadii.g tho wbeo a man catne up with a demxnd for a correction of

an article charging him with bigamy You have to keep right on with an Idea when you get hold of it, and so I run him in.

Smith Is uow set right before the public and his friends generally, who have thus improved the town and commune thorn as to whether a moment of sadness does not occasionally steal over theui as they think of the loud Irieuds left behind come up again tuid I'll talk with you about the tonka beans and every patriotic oltlxen ought to keep a fltato map in his block ou Mlchig Smith states that ouo ol his wives desertod him In Illinois and the other—" (Here a sabsoriber came in and wanted to know why no paper was Issued the day after Thanksglvlug.) because It was a day set apart for one hundred and iorty-tour windows In tho entire block with tonka beans enameled on Slate maps to mourn their early departure through the valley and the shadow ol death I don't want you to bother mo any more Mr. Smith about

OUR ALLtUATOR BOOTH.

BY BKRMUH.

Tn an ungunr- ed and luokless niotiii'Ut we ordered a pair of now boots— IxMtta large enough to put on the outaide and around our pedal extremities —Iiootaof pnaligious length, iinaienae breadth aud ntU|*endouH thickness. We not only committed the wretched blunder of ordering new boot*, but in a state of imbecile weakness, we yielded to the cunning blandislimeuts of a jVi«mi-so wiled, and concluded to have thoee boots made frtnn tbe charming chwrtul, do«'ilt\ amiable and sportive heists known an Alligator*. It did not in itter, when our rash eholee had been tn-«de public, that lh«*re were n»t enough Alligator* in ail Georgia to furnish sufficient hide* for lh' pnrpiw*! Our mind was m-ide U|\ We would li ve Alligator b«Hts It it tonk the hid* off mm every Alligator In the South I

The boots were built on the largest of those Texan prairies, and brought home in sections on a raft, and We now wear them. •Large? Yes, some! Their cubio contents rival those ef tbe pyramids of Egypt, and the openings at the tops ot the legs much resemble the mouth of 8imm's bole In the center of the earth. They are three sixes too large for the Colossus of Rhodes. Had Noah found them when he desired to get away lrom that dampness spoken of, of old, he woulp not have needed an ark, for he ooula have put all tbe animals in one boot and preserved tbe ark in the other

Although we have to go up town to get room to turn around, and they reach so far in nil directions that we cannot get within speaking distance of any one, yet we like them and yet we are not happy, because occasionally they manifest some of tbe characteristics of the beasts who wore them first, They seem to have a yearning desire for flies and mudboles, and cannot sing a solitary note. They don't soueak and they have an irresistible desire to "go for dogs." One evening lately they took us a block out of our own way in r*pld pursuit of a kinky headed pic ninny and almost every morning when about to put them on, we And that they have swallowed all the cats in tbe neighborhood.

DID you hear of that chap who attend ed the sale of a hotel recently at a town in Ohio? He hadn't a cent in his pock et, but he stood up and bid boldly, "Twenty-eight thousand dollars.'* It was knocked down to him and, when the question was asked: "Who is the purcnarfpr?" this audacious scainp replied: "The Pennsylvania Railroad." Of course, he was not in person requir ed to put up the money from an hnpe rial buyer like that, whereby he was able, In the course of a couple ot days, to sell the whole to another party for 935,000, and olear the difference. Tbe country is now full ot scamps buying hotels for the Pennsylvania Kai

SHERIDAN'S solicitor found his client's wife one day walking up and down her drawing-room,apparently in a frantic state of mind. Ho inquired tbe cause of such violent perturbation only replied "that ner husband was a villain." On the man of business further interrogating her what had so suddenly awakened her to a sense of that fact, she at length answered, with some hesitation, "Why, I have discovered that all tbe love fetters he sent me were the very same as those be sent bis first wife!
