The I nnocents.?When people first
egin to talk about a "baby show" they
reliable to nay "it will not do;" that
here isnomething radically wrong'about
making a public exhibition of human
le*h und blood as If the exhibit* were
eatable* or beasts of the tield, bred to
e used an a wan'* plavea or to become
ood for his stomach. ISut after a little
eflection |>eo|>lc begin to fancy they
night go and look at such an exhibition
rithout any great violation of sentimeut,
nd it subsequently appears that the
uothers and fathers of the childrcu displayed
havo a genuine natural love and
dmiration for their offspring and they
ancy that other people should be as faorably
impressed with the little ones as
hey themselves are. Judging from the
merest that is being taken in the forthowing
bnby show for the benefit of the
JhildrenV Home, the entertainment will
ind favor with all classes.
Tumperarce.?The temperance folks
iropose to light King Alcohol on the

1 ill not discontinue their meetings on
iceount of the warm weather. Arrangeuents
have bccu made for a big meetiug

Eonurno, Viet.?A fresh, lmpressible
young man from one of the interior >?
tillagee ol the State spent last week in A
thii city seeing the sights. He stopped ke
at the Central Hotel, and proposed to W<
"take in" all that wu worth bis atten- ?f|
tion. On the rery tin I day ol his ?t?y he *
sauntered up 14th street, and started up 01
Market ^street. He bad proceeded J1
but a short distance in that direction St
when his gize, mind and Terr life were L>
completelr eclipsed by what his eyes
beheld. Had he been of poetic turn, he tei
could not hared [ailed to use the words P"
of tho poet: d?
"Do I iltep, do I drtatn,
Do I wonder and doubt? *ti
It thing* what I her area, r ,
Or la vliloni about?" .!
But he was not thus poetical, and being SJ
a practical sort of young man, allowed ?
himself to be drawn after the comet of hU
soul's "love at flrat night." She wends ,j
lier poetic way to the unpoetic Market .
House; he follows in enraptured admira- .
tion. She halts before a stall where ,fl
horse-radish in offered for sale; he beholds mj
with admiring eyes; she buys and
passes on again; he takes up the ,
train of hie admiring adoration,
and shadows her as she goes. Hhe turns
and retraces her stew; he follows; she
proceeds to Centre Wheeling, and enters at
a residence on Main street. He beholds
nil, and watching for a weary time con- 0
elude* that he has discovered the spot Bl
which in blessed with the habitation of 0
his tailored, nnd returning to his hotel
indites the following: h?

The letter, with this curious direction'
was received by the good people who live

No Music in Mis Soul.?A few eve- a|
ninga since a certain prominent citizen 01
of considerable corporosity was out in n'
company with several friends "making a ai
night of it." Concerts were in full blast w
in all the saloons along Market street, ?
and our corpulent friend swore by all the 11
gods and goddesses that he wouldn't patronize
any saloon where there was music 11
in the air. "Come on," he said to his *
friends, "and go down to the St. James; we u
won i do uoreuuy any inusicdown mere.
There waa a hop on the Millie Kagon at
the landing that night, and as the orchea- u
tral notes tloated around the corner of
12th street and confronted the bacchanalian
party, the leader turned on his heel w
in disgust, and growled: "Well,I'll bo 1*
dashed if old Phil, hasn't got a Dutch al
band down there, too." And he went
home and went to bed.
House AVaumino at the People's t!
Wiiarfuoat.?A pleasant family party
assembled at Mr. Henry Seamon's new
wharfboat last evening, in answer to an 2i
invitation extended by that gentleman.
There were present Mr.Seamou's family
and a number of personal friends, who 9!
enjoyed the "house warming" in a quiet
way. Among those present we noticed
Uncle Joe Forsythe, the Wharfmaster, o;
Mrs. Seamon and daughter, Mrs. Hop* u.
kins, MIsh Meek, Mr. Cal Stevens and
lady and Mr. John Day. The occasion
was enlivened by music furnished by
Yahrling's string band. Refreshments
were served about 9 o'clock. _

Representatives of the different boat
clubs of the city, who were invited by
the managers of the festival for the benefit
of the Orpbana of St. Joseph to agree
upon the style of a boat which they propose
to purchase and present to the boat
club receiving the highest number of r
votes, met at the Union Restaurant last
night. A single scull, thirty-ono feet
long and eleven inches wide, was agreed b
upon. The boat will bo built by John 8]
Maxwell, and will cost about $12o. The
festival is to be held about the middle of
June, in the St. Alphonsus school build- fl|

M.ksnebchor Picnic. ?The Mn-nner- p
chor Singing Society held a moonlight a
fiicnic at Neuhausen'a Summer Garden p
ast evening, which was the social event
of the Reason. The evening was pleasant, ei
the attendance unusually large, and
everything passed oft'pleasantly. Kra- g
mer furnished the music. vr
a team belonging to Arbenz'a furniture
factory ran off in Centre Wheeling p
last evening, and threw the boy who was
driving them out of the wagon. The boy
escaped uninjured, and the horses were C
stopped in a few moments, before any ai
damage was done.

UOOD Advice.? 2io\r w the time of
year for Pneumonia. Lung lever, &c.
Every family should have a bottle of
lkwcitee's German Syrup. Don't alii
low for ono moment (hut cough to take
hold of your child, your fnmily or yourself.
Consumption, Asthma.Pneumonia,
j- Croup, Hemorrhage?, and other fatal dinh
eases may set in. Although it is true
7 German Syrup in curing thousands of
T these dreaded diseases, yet it is much bet|
ter to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One bottle will last your
1 whole family a winter and keep you safe
'? from danger. If you are consumptive,
do not rest until you have tried this rem|
edy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Kegular
u size 75 cents. Sold by your Druggist.
