PERSONAL MENTION.
They were very diffident and not all
self-euro when they walked the Regula
tor plunk tliia morning. They were
young and may have been brother and
slater, though their actions wero more
like thu bride und groom of a country
precinct. While he was thoughtful of
her comfort, ho waa more afraid of doing
something wrong and not acting just
right, under the battery of eyes ho felt
sure waa directed upon them. Not
winning to intrude, ho kept the lower
deck, and when u truck of freight,
wheeled by 11 deck hand, catno thunder
ing behind them ho convulsively drew
his companion aside, und both backed
up ngainat the aide of the boat ullowing
thu load to pass, botli blushing as red as
poppies. He wub naked why they didn't
go up on tho upper dock und this wus
tiio drat time it duwnud upon him that
ho hud any right up there. Seizing tho
girlisiiVreature by thi arm, lie hastily
made hia way up thu companion way
and, upoit reaching tho top, again stood
undecided what to do. A lady realizing
their difficulty advised tlium to go aft
und enter the cubin. He acted upon
tho advice, but tho prettily varnished
furnishings once moro intimidated him,
and seeing only ladies present, lie left
liia charge and went forward again. Just
na tho bout aturted lie followed u num
ber of men to tho cabin by the atom
wheel, und ub tho huge boat turned in
mid stream to go down tho river, u lust
look revealed him standing beside his
companion, and both faces wore such a
look of radiant rupture and contentment
ub is seldom vouchsafed tliia aide of
heaven.

A WONDERFUL BIRD-WEAVER.
How thu llaltliuuro Oriole ISuiltU Ills
Cozy Su'lnRlng Kent.
The Baltimore oriole is a prince in a
house of princes, suys a writer in
Scrlhner's Magazine. The family to
which he belongs is composed of birds
remarkable either for plumule, note,
nest, eggs nr.habit. Each can claim some
thing curious and original; but tho
Baltimore shines in every one of these
particulars, for In plumage, song and
nest alike he is an especially remark
able bird. When tho earl of Baltimore
became the lord of Maryland his fol
lowers quickly noticed thu correspond
ence between his heraldic livery of
orange and black and the orange and
black of the splendid bird that so
abounded in the new estates, so that,
very naturally, tho numo "Baltimore
bird" was suggested and has been
borne ever since.
His nest is one of the most wonder
ful examples of bird-weaving in exist
ence. His made of separate threads,
strings, horsehair or strips of bark,
closely interwoven into a sort of sack,
and so firmly knit together that it will
bear a weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. In the southern parts of this
bird's range the nest hi suspended from
two or three terminal twigs for pro
tection from numerous enemies, such
as snakes, opossums and tho like; it
is also made six or seven inches in
depth to prevent the eggs being thrown
out by the high winds. But in the
colder north, where tree-climbing foes
are rare, it is hung, not ut tho extrem
ity of tho brunches, but in a cluster of
twigs that affords shelter. It is much
shallower than when exposed to the
wind, but is very thickly woven und
lined with soft, warm materials. Tho
oriole's loud, ilfe-liko notes ringing
from the high tree-tops in tho morning
are an ample refutation of tho old
theory that melody and bright plum
age have never been bestowed on tho
same bird.

MAKING ROAD8.
Six Men Getting Out Uock to lio Crunlieil
Next Wrek.
Six men aro now engaged in getting
out rock for the crusher, and tho ma
chine will be started un next week. It
was tho intention of the council to givo
employment to as manv men with
families as possible who are now out of
work, a commendablo action and a very
wise one, since the great utility of tho
work to be done dispenses with the
claim of chanty. Tho committeo on
Etrcets and public property, comprising
Messrs. Kreft, Lauer and Butts, are very
efficient and are directing work the
most important since our streets were
graded up to a level above high water
mark. It is the intention of the city to
supply crushed rock at all street cross
ings, the bad places in the road between
corners to bo filled by tho owners of the
lots adjoining. Tho crushed rock will
be supplied them and the only expense
will be the hauling.
After the city has used the crusher
for a time the county will run it, the
intention being to divide its time
equally between them. The county
commissioners were at great expense
last year in filling up holes in the coun
try roads with manure and straw,
which soon became as bad as ever.
Now when a hole is filled it is fixed for
ever, and the expense is ended.
Tho purchase of the rock crusher is
one of tho wisest investments ever made.
The money expended on roads yields a
higher return than it could in any other
way and the benefits are immediate. It
saves to the producer time, money and
horseflesh, and by reducing the cost of
transportation places him at once upon
a footing where prosperity is easily
within his reach, and when the country
people are prosperous, the cities are
bound to be. Given good country roads
and paved city streets no danger need be
apprehended of retrograding, but on the
contrary, progress will be marked and
rapid.
Howlers for enterprise, note our rock
crusher, and stow your dismal croakings.
A Disheartened Evangelist.
Rev. Mr. Aleridge closed his meetings
last night. They were not meeting with
that degree of success for which the gen
tleman had hoped, and becoming dis
couraged he abandoned them. His
final lecture was forcible, eloquent and
entirely spontaneous, while an occa
sional passionate outburst showed that
the speaker was suffering keenly from
some cause. Whether it was because of
the indifference of the church people to
himself, which he claimed, the battle
with his own appetite for strong drink,
to which lie once alluded, or a private
disappointment cannot be known, but
it is palpable that he possesses an im
pressionable disposition, which for him
is unfortunate. Himself whole-souled,
earnest and enthusiastic, craving friend
ship and as ready to give it, he yields
easily to unpleasant circumstances, be
comes disheartened, and cannot conceal
it. If his story of himself is true, and
there is no occasion to doubt it, he de
serves that credit which cannot be over
estimated in the light of the proverb,
"He who conquers self is greater than
he who taketh a city." Mr. Aleredge
has drank the dregs of lowest degrada
tion, has been the lowest in the sociul
scale, and his risen again to worth and
respectability. If, as he says, lie has
successfully battled with his appetite
for twelve years, who among us can
compare with him in firmness of pur
pose and rigid adherence to a patli
marked out. The ephemeral existence
of the time-honored New Year resolu
tion, which all have tried, is a trivial
thing to what this man has done. He
deserves the hearty support, moral,
social and otherwise of any community
in which lie labors, and may .the grace of
God, upon which ho relies, preserve
him to the end in sobriety, usefulness
and honor.
