F orgot the K ey. —A high, although
unintentional joke was played on the
managers of the railway train that ran
out of Cleveland the other morning.
Soon after the train left Wheaton, a
German woman was seen running out
of a house with a colored handkerchief
on a broomstick, making a very ener
getic signal to the engineer to stop.
The engineer supposing some serious
danger was ahead, although going at
a furious rate, quickly brought the
train to a dead stop. The excited wo
man then rushed up to a window of
one of the cars, and calling to "The
resa," her daughter, coolly handed in to
her a door key, which it seems, that
the young lady, on going to the depot
at Wheaton to take the train, had for
gotten to take with her ! The vexa
tion and mortification of the officers
and the merriment of the passengers
can be imagined.
jfâgr Sensations having nearly given
out, one New York paper devotes a
column or two to organ grinders,
their habits and their occupaiion. It
appears that a good hand organ costs
about eighty dollars, but inferior in
struments can bo bought for from
thirty to sixty dollars. It is said of one
of the lights of the profession that
"Ferruroi ^rew very fat in his latter
days, and very drunken also. Ha
died in William street, surrounded
with monkeys, who were very glad to
get rid of him."
