A doctor in St. Look explain the neces mltjr for having two ear by the fact that sound Is always heard more distinctly by one ear than by the qthcr, and in this way it Is located. A man with but one ear can hear just as wel. at a man with two, hut he cannot locate sound. A recent ear ache and consequent temporary deafness in one of his ears lull v establishes this fact in the mind of the M . A T. O As the M A. T. expected the MackeV Bennett telegraph line is willing to receive the same amount for despatches the other company gets. We are not astonished. Mackey did not used to mine for nothing ; Bennett never run the Herald for fun, and Mackey Bennett will never telegraph for nothing There are no more grasping men in the world than these two and so do not look for anything very philanthropic from them O Next week Spring, about which so many songs have been sung, will be upon us. An old school reader contains a "piece" that be gins thuslv, "Spring is the pleasantest season of the year." fn anticipation of this we fill our lungs for the event.

O It is now being demonstrated as plainly as a man's red nose that a crank is a neces sary evil, and that all treat retorms are established by him ; that he is the man who sets all one hundred ton guns p shoot ing. And snow is black. O The M. A. T. understands that O'Malley, the insurance man, stumped Kansas for pro hibition and New York City for Blaine, taw Hanlon and Courtney row and it a high protectionist from way back. Mr. O M certainly has a fluent tongue, and should be given a hall. rartnlller TUmm On last Tuesday morning, at lO ofclock, t the Presbyterian Church, in thi city Mr. William Fortmiller, the popular furni ture dealer and manufacturer, and Mis Mary Thompson, the accomplished daughter ol President Thompson, of the Col lege, were aid ted in marriage, Rev.
