We should think these parlor cattle cars would be a success, and that
cattle would enjoy them very much. It is said that parties desiring to
charter these cars for excursions for human beings, can be accommodated at
any time when they are not needed to transport cattle, if they will give
bonds to return them in as good order as they find them.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
He could not tell a lie, George couldn't. Washington, it is probable,
never knew what it was to stow away a schooner of beer, and history makes
no mention that he ever, on any pretext, eat limberger cheese. At least no
mention was made of it in his farewell address. He never was President of
a savings bank. Washington never lectured. He never edited a newspaper. He
could not tell a lie at the rates editors charge. No he was a good man,
with none of the small vices that are so prevalent these days.
BROKE UP A PRAYER MEETING.
A few months ago the spectacle presented itself of a very respectable lady
of the Seventh ward wearing a black eye. There never was a case of
ante-election that was any more perfect than the one this lady carried.
We have seen millions of black eyes in our time, some of which were
observed in a mirror, but we never saw one that suggested a row any
plainer than the one the Seventh ward lady wore.
