A “‘ring- pitcher or can—that is sent to the of lager beer. It is said that the word grew out of the protests of the girls who did not like to be ‘sent to) the saloons, or out of the ‘‘growl- ing”’ (slang for grumbling) of the children whose play in the streets was interrupted by their having to On the other hand, the quarrelin;; that fol. lowed too frequent empty ings of the can by ‘‘gangs,’’ or social coteries of drinking men, is said to have given the beer vessel its nickname. The horse play of the mountcbanks in the variety shows is commonly: called ‘‘funny business,’’ and the term has now comé to be applied to ;aml practical joking—among the masses. A flimsy excuse or trans- parent lie is called a ‘‘song and dance.” “‘Why didn’t you keep your ‘engagement? Now don’t gire me: | no song and dance,” is an example of the use of this queer phrase. The ‘old slang words ‘‘cheek”’ and*‘gall”’ —meaning assurance—have been ‘supplanted by the word “front,”’ and we hear nowadays that a man who is unblushingly audacious, as- front of Jove himself,’ as Shakes- peare wrote, -but ‘‘an awful front— A tipsy man whose uncertain lo- comotion carries him swaying from side to side af the pavement is de- | clared to thave a “‘skate’’ or to| have “his skates on.’’ Men who) drink too much and toorequently are said to suffer from “‘hitting the! bottle.” At first it was said ef the! opium smokers that they ‘‘hit”’ the | pipe—as all pipe smokers do, to! cleanse the instrument—so that hit-! j ting anything has come to signify an abuse of the habit with which the article thus*‘hbit”’ is intimately con-! nected, !

Revently this young lady srarted out, accompanied by a triend ‘and the dog, for a walk and found, when some liitle distance from’ the house, that she had forgotten her rub- bers. Not wishing to return for them she called the dog and, pointing to her friend’s rubbers, said: “Go home and get them.” ‘The dog looked at her in. telligently a moment, then ran down the, street and turned the corner. “Well,”.-said the admiring friend, “if that dog isu’t the smartest I ever saw!’ Presently the setter returned wazging his tail and holding in his mouth, not his mistress’ ruubers, but the foot |seraper which he had pulicd from the jcorner of the steps.

The Sandwich Spread. The young ladies of the Baptist W. V. Society gave our people an intes— esting evening at the Sandwich Spread in Germania Hall Tuesday night. The hall was spiendidly decorated for the occasion. The nose guessing feature did not entirely meet their anticipation trom the fact that it proved impossible to keep the twelve noses protruding through the curtain still long enough for the mspection and guesses to be wade, hence this had to be declare. off, though it afforded much amusement while it lasted. The ladies made something over $20 on the supper and refresliments served, Horse Eulled. The passenger traia coming in Tues- day evening killed a horse just before| reaching the depot. The animal was picked up by the pilot about half way | between the Fourth and Fifth street] crossings and was dropped jusi at the}. edge of the Clark field, being carried a , little over 200 yards by the engine. Tracks on the road bed showed that the horse turned out ot Fitth street and walked almost up the centre of the railroad to where the engine — struck it. The horse was a small sorrell, in very poor condition, and had nothing on but a smuil piece of rope wrapped two or three times around the neck, It be- ionged to Sam Bryan, colored, and the railroad very promptly settled with him this morning. !
