Miss Grierson remembered his face, and
the thought of her rejected picture made

"It is a matter of

much withering calmness as if poor Boggs
had called her picture "abominably bad."
"Well, but you know, Miss Grierson,"
roniltod little Bob™, "I went to explain.

"Who waa it. Edith?" aaked Mrs.

a "sensation" she entered, and learned that

Philadelphia, July 6.—However it

with us growing to be such an intolerable
nuisance tbat, if it were a matter that
could be put to vote, I doubt not a major

Tbe sentiment may be called unpatriotic
by some, but we are pretty. well agreed
here that patriotism has precious little to
do with the day in Philadelphia as it is
mainly kept. It is simply a day of licence
aud law breaking, the outrages being not
merely winked at, but encouraged by the
nuthorties, and the effect cannot but be

it is presumed by some, with good reason,
that it will completely accomplish the ruin
of those roads. This fact, or rather the
probability of such an occurrence, gives
the affair a particular interest to tbe people

has indorsed tbe bonds of those two roads
