Being at I..ouisville a short time last week, and always being desir ous of giving everbody and every town their dues, we feel under obli-1 gafiont to ex profs our exact opin ion of the flourishing little town of Ioiiiaville. It is pleasantly located on the southern slope of the I-a IMalte and is at the junction of three railroads, the Rock Island, the M. I, ami the B. Ac ?1. The Rock Island is on the norm sile ol llie river Out passen gers are permitted to get on and off at the railroad crossing, which place is easily reached by means of the iree nnuc wlncli crosses the river at that place and is the only one for miles around. Fully W) people reside in this place ami they aie active, energetic workers, which is demonstrated l3r me interest mamicstcd in their own town. Good brick buildings are LIKES ITiISOX LIFE.

"One day while waiting for my din ner at tno house or a farmer named Brown I saw a pockctbouk in a bureau drawer that had been left open. It con tained slOo, which I at once took posses sion of.

Tut on airs, my beauties," muttered an undertaker, traveling on the elevated railroad. "Put on airs, but when I get you there won't lie any airs, and one of you will look pretty much like the other." A bevy of bright and haughty damsels had boarded the train at Twenty-eiarhth street and their bearing annoyed the undertaker. "I tell you," ho said, "when I burv them they all look pretty much the same. J. hey don't sneer at the poor old undertaker, either." 1 never saw a proud looking corpse in my life, and I've bur ied thousands. No difference, sir!
