The Variety Troupe performed at

chap down there kept calling upon

For a man lo say "I can't take
that, paper because of its politics,'
when his course nil through life shows
him to be one of those who ha? fre
quently embraced the bugbear of the
Fourteenth Amendment. We do not
object to men having their opinions,
but always thought that the wiser
couise is for one to say nothing in

The opinion has always Obtained in
the minds of those famiMur with the
Bible (.hat it was a man named Jonah

belief on Tuesday night last, who
boldly asserted that it was our popu
lar and efficient Clerk of the Com t

Jonah. Upon reflection wo might
have thoughi as much, for it is eon

warning through these columns
against the use of stripid stockings,

This is the year for unmarried wo
men to propose to gentlemen. They
can put n-ide all conventionalities,
and bristle right up In the side of a
man and say "I love you; will you
hayo me?" without violating any
special rule of ctiquctt or custom.
The year is one which enlarges tho
sphere of women ts such an unlimited
extent that they nifty safely regard
tloin&clves as misters Of the situation.
'1 here is no use lor any billing and
cooing eitl er on their part to make
their wishes known. They can come
square out and say whom they want
with perfect propriety. Indeed, that
is what Leap Year means. Young
ladies should not waste their time now
in sighs and hints. If they crave
husbands, the)- must, be up and doing.
Those who allow timidity to master
them at ?sueh a frightfully appcrtuuc
time as this is to pair themselves off,
will find, at the end of the year, that
they stood in their own sunshine, and
that when they could have done some
thing towards u promise of nn in
crease in the census of the land, by
cultivating their opportunities, like
sluggards the.y let them pass by un
improved. Let such as these take
care that they do not end like

Judge Bond has decided that a man
must be married before he can claim
the benefits of the homestead exemp
tion law. Now you see this ail plays
into the hands of single ladies. Any
man will marry before he will give
up his homestead, and we suggest lo
thoso who cannot write love letters,
the advisability of procuring u copy of
Judge Bond's deeisi n in the mutter,
That will be hint enough to the man
you want for a husband. And if it
turns out to he insuflicio it to move
his flinty heart, it will result from the
fact that he has no homestead and
ncvor ex peels to have one. Let the
ladies make good use of our advice.

A Hotel Decision.?A question
interesting to hotel keepers and their
guests ?was decided by Chief Judge
Brown, in Baltimore, on t nturday.
.Some mouths ago a regular boarder
at a hotel, on temporarily leaving his
room, gave the key to tho proprietor.
During his absence clothing valued at
$35 was stolen from his room, nnd up
on ascertaining ibis fact he demanded
reimbursement from tho proprietor'
His demand wns refused, and he
brought suit to recover, but lost the
case. He then appealed to the city
court, and on Saturday Judge Brown
revoked the former decision, and gave
a judgment for S.'5"> and costs in favor
of tho p'entiff, holding that the pro
prietor was guilty of negligence in
having a number of keys fitting the
locks on the doors of the same rooms,
and thus had not furnished sufficient
protection to the effects of his board
ers or trucsts.
