Sam Jonos on Infidels and Society.
I’d rather be a low-down chain
gj.ng negro than one of your little
in fidcls, said Sam Jones in a recent
sf rmon. You won't he in hell two
minutes before you’ll be hopping
around in the fire and yelling:
What a mistake I made.’’ I have
some respect for Boh Ing.srsoll, be
cause I10 can get S200 a night for his
lecturing. But s)mc of these little
fellows arc infideh for nothing, pay
82 to hear Ingersoll and hoard them-
selvos.
T understand you ate all running
society” here pretty lively, Society!
A pair of 75 cent slippers and a
81-25 wasp bonnet lets you into it.
There is no manhood in it. The
fruits of society, so called, are the
dude and dudinc. If you don’t like
what I’m saying just get up on your
hind logs and slide out.
Sam uses some mighty rough lan
guage, but it takes strong language
to describe some of the people he
tackles.
A fishing party came back from the
lake late yesterday afternoon. Une
of the party said they caught plenty of
fish but that they were “in the other
wagon.”
It is not our province to distate, but
we may suggest to our City Fathers
that '.he greatest revenue from the
water works can only be realized by
making friends of the people that take
water. Make sensible rules and ad
here to them strictly, but do not ham
per them with vexations conditions.
Mr. Henry Mitchell, enumerator for
the Duncanville district, and Capt.
Paine, f®r the town district, were tvjsy
yesterday going over and studying the
thousand and one questions to be
asked. They are varied and com-
plic tied, and the chances are that the
entlemen taking the census, will strixe
a manv good “snags." They will not
recline on a bed of roses, during the
month of Juno.
Take this scene, for instance:
“flow old are you, Mrs. ”
“It is none of your business.’’

ial to the Press and Knickerbocker

juakc was preceded by a loud rumb
ling sound. Another slight shock was

Heed Rattled.
Washington, May 25.—If Speak
er Ivced follows out his present inten
tions, lie will appoint Air. Blount or
Mr. Turner, of Georgia, to succeed
Air. Carlisle on the committee on
ways and means. If he should ap
point Mr. Blount, lie would get out of
appointing Mr. Mills as Mr. Carlisle’s
successor on the committee on rules,
on the plea which lie used before, that
lie could not take two democrats from
the way! i and means committee, and
he eoulc'i then appoint Mr. Wilson of
West V irginia, on the committee on
rules. Should he appoiuit AD. Turner
on the.- committee on ways and means
as lie. would like to do for Air. Turn
er’s sake, beattsc he lik.is Mr. Turner,
he would find it difficult, to avoid ap-
do'inting Air. Mills on the committee
on rules.
