Hobart isa small fellow. He has caused Wm. Seagraves, usher at the Erie railroad at Jersey City, to be dis- missed. Seagraves had orde:'s not to admit any one through the gates until the trains were ready. Here is what happened says an exchange : Seagraves was at his post ‘Uhursday afternoon when a tuli, heavy man at tempted to for¢e his way past the usher and vhrough the gates, “You can’t go through there, sir, until the train is ready,” said Sea- graves, “JT can’t, eh?” said the man, still torcing his way “*You probably don't know who J am?” “1 don’t care who you are,” replied the young wan. “I have my orders not to allow anyLody through,” “Well, I’m going threugh. Here’s my ca.d.” He left Seayraves standing at his post with a bit ot cardboard in his hand, It bore the’ inscription : “Garret V, Hobart.” “[ didn’t care whether it was the president of the United States himself. I bad no authority to allow any one through,” said Seagraves yesterday. “However, I did not think that the vice—presi lent of the United States -was so small as to take revenge upon a poor working man and take the bread out of the mouths of himself and family. Yet that is just what he has done to me.” name tes Reminiscences. ed “Married men are coming home now, telling yarns about big fish.’ “Yea, andthe young men tell bigger yarns about the girls who fallin love with them.” And the girls toll whoppers about the men who fall in love with them.” : _ “What do the married women bave to tell?’ — 7 “They tell everyboby how aw- fally dirty their houses got while they were away.”—Chicago Re- ae / AT THE BALL. © Caneel | You will.o’-the-wisp ot a woman How can you treat me 80, When you knew I was out here waiting Since ages andages ago?

New enterprises are always desira ble, and every true patriotic citizen is glad to welcome them io his or ber town, The Winston Jonrnal makes makes some vry pointed and sensible remarks along this line. It at the citizins ought to manifest an inter- est in prospectors a.d show that they will co-operate with them. We copy: “At this particular junctuve when times are su close, the people who are anxious that new enterprises be estab- lished in our midst, need not expect that a mere invitation’ will bring them. Be as solicitous and instant as you please, but that alone will pot bring them. ‘There must be better induces menis than that, prospectors that atter they locate here they will meet proper encouragement and be accorded that spirit of co-opera- tion expressive oi our belief that they have come to stav, instead of mani- festing « suspicion that they have come merely to stay transiently, A few plain words along this line can do no harm and may ao much good. It is wellto know that there are other inviting fields and if newcomers do nov meet with proper encouragement they will nt hesitate to prk up and go somewhere else. We need not think that new enterprises will build them- selves up in a day and no longer need Ye must cunvince our co-operation. It we labor under) any euch idea as that, we will soon find it a great, big delusicn, Tt we want new enterprises let us go to work and help to bring them here, and let us not forget to support them atter we get them,” oe as bowels.
