The experience or an unlortiiiiate friend ol mine who occupied the third story of one of these p dices, is duplicated by thousands iu the cily. He bad beeu birinc a modest bouse, but lie thought tbat a flit would ensure Ligher degree of domestic) felicity; so be en Kiiged n floor in n fashiruable bouse tip town. When be was first installed in bis new q-t.irters, no leuiarkrd to his wife that l'.iracliao was not far off Ev irylbitig was neat and nice as n new pit). It was not long till lie discovered that some oue was nsiug bis coal, and then his servant girl got acquainted with every other servant gill iu the bouse. Tbo elevitnr afforded a delightful means of ccmtnimic.itinn, and very soon each servant became thoroughly posted iu the affairs of every other servant's family. The several families wore always in want nftomcthinpi they borrowed tbo tea pot, tho coal scuttle, wood, soap, sugar, salt pepper and kerosene, sending tbem up aud down tbrousb the elevator. Occas ionally soma neighbor wanted A loaf of bread. quart of milk or a beef steak, which tbey wero not at all bashful about borrowing; cups, snicers, tin palls and dishes disappeared Iu rapid succession, and it was not long till there -as not a tumbler or a glass left iu tbe bouse. These, however, were minor misfortunes, which a philosopher could live tbrongli if bis bank account was able to stand it; but there was a yonug lady on Ibe first floor who practised for six weeks steadily on tho "Sweet bye-and-bye." and on Ibe seventh she started in on tbe variations. Next above her was a youthful Levy.who bad mads np his mind to learn tbo cor net or die. lie generally began about fiye in tbe morniug.and tbe dying strains of bis Instrumrnt reverberated through tbe air abaft about twelve o'clock at night. Tbe stout gentleman who occu pied the floor up stairs was troubled with neuralgia, end be generally walked tbe floor all night. The floor was pot carpeted and be wore cowbide boots, so that the resnlt might bavo been compared to a respectable earthquake, wbicb af forded food for reflection but rendered sleep Impossible; but even this might be endured if it were not for tbe elevator and tbe air abaft.

Tho poltcemau sound ed the Alarm and, supported by four others, rnsbed Into tbs bouse. Tbe Ron- tlernan remonstrated at tbe intrnsion. but was quickly clubbed Into submission and was dragged off to tbe station to Answer for bis crime. It was In vain tbe next morning that bis weeping wife at templed to get n correct version of the faols before his Honor. Tbe testimony of sixteen persons on tbe different floori", who had beeu listening at tbe elevator and air shaft, was against tbem, so tbe man was fined ten dollars for assaulting bis wife, and "sentnp'' for three months for resisting Ibe officer; when bo gals out be will move from tho flat.

Political circles nre stirred to tho centre by tho lumors concerning the Now York Post Office. Tho mugmumps want Mr. Pearson retained, and great pains was tukeu to circulate tbe report that bo was not to bo disturbed in his soft berth. Up to the present time Mr. Pearson has been regarded as tbo model ol till model postmasters; tbe public have been led to believe that he was tbe one offici.il in whose reoord there was uo flaw.

I doubt whether Washington society will be able to survive one of Mr. Cleveland's Innovations upon the customs of the Capi tal, which is the gelling up In the morn ing, eating breakfast, and at work br nine o'clock. The White Ilouso has known no such plobian way of doing things in tho last half century. Ailhur did his ' execu tive work by tho midnight oil, and his sleepingMvas done through the first half of tbe day. Ho watraroly to be seen before twelve o'clock, and of eourro was inaccessi ble lo those Congressmen who make their daily rounds ol the departments before the meeting or Congress at noon. It was tho example sot by the ecoupants of tho White House in times past,that has made all' Wash ington gi to bed in the morning and get up at midday. So that the eight o'clock break fast that President Cleveland bas regularly taken since entering upon his official duties has set us all so badly by the ears that the President must be Importuned lo fall iu with the established precedent and take his breakfast Iu bed. The Ilouso performed a very commend able piece of work In its last hours by put ting Ucueral Grant on Ihe retired list,whero ho will be pretty certain to be placed be yond the reach of immediate waut. If he will only keep his lamlly and liinuclf aUof from tbo financial sharks of Walt street. Tho pay and perquisites or a retired General of this rank, amounts lo about uincteen thousand dollars per year, which surely ought to be enough to keep a private laml ly in a comfortable Bitua'.iou even iu New York Cily. Tho present precarious con dition of Gonorul Grant's health has arousod sympathy lor him and his family through out Ibe country, ami at the adjournment of Congress last Wednesday morn than half a million nfpcoplc) bad forwarded to Congress their appeals t) that body lo enact lh re tirement hill.

Fifty of these meinbeia have got to bu provided for, though why a detested candidate for reelection should not sutler the consequences of his onu unpopu larity is unlalhoinable. In tho mliiilrablo closing address of Speaker Carlisle, ho paid his particular ro specls to the modern Congressman who iletms it his peculiar misiioti to draft bills mid iutroduci) them.

They succeeded ou Monday night alter having beeu in session until 12 o'clock. There is good reason to bolievo that there is more cor ruption existing about this bill than any that bas beeu here. It will very likely become a law and then the cities will be rid of tbe unsightly polls and wires.

Mt.

Mr. Greeu seems very anxious to protect the Berks county bar, which does cot extend tbe common cour tesies tbat exist at meet bars. Mr. Col born iu Ibis case took up tbe resolution and opposed Mr, -Green iu a vigorous peech, and wbeii'tbe'Lill was called for final passage it went through without any trouble.

The other is (o prohibit the selling, furnishing or glviug tobacco to minors uuder 15 years of age. The time in which these bills are read is 'very much against tbem. It is too late.

THE LAW OF THE B0AD. SOilETIIISO THAT EVE11Y TET.SOH WHO DIUVES A lit r.-E HIOULD ENOW. In the suit of Ifen'y Brooke against Moulion Thomas, which was a suit to re cover damages fir injuries indicted upon the plaintiffs wagon by a collision with that or the defendant, Judge Biddle, In passing upon a inotiou for a new trial, on Saturday niorniug delivered au interesting exposition or Ihe law or tbe road. Ife save "There is no rule of law which requires a traveler to drive over any particular part of a public highway, lie can drive liver the middle or on either side, no mutter in what direction be may be going. What is railed Ihe 'law of tbe road' Isjhat persons meeting on a highway must keep to the right. This rulo is modided la the case of a lootmsn or horseman, who rannol com pel a teamster with a heavy load to turn out of the beaten track, or eyeu a light wagon with a heavy draught. In Ihote cases, if the horseman or light vehicle can pass with safely on the left ur a heavily laden team it is their duty to give iray aud leave the choice to the more unwieldy ve hicle. Travelers naturally keep as near is tbey eatrto the right side of a bigliw.y.not because or any Ie;ial obligation lu do so, but berauielhey aretliau In a ailioo Ij re quire any oue meeting tttin to tarn cot. They may travel on the ln side II they please., but tlicn.lf they are met by a person driving In an opposite direction, thsy must turn out. The obligation is not to keep to any particular part or the highway, but simply lo turn to tbs right when others meet them." Alter citing Ihe refusal of Chief Justice Gibson to allow the established law of tho road lo be modified by any parole evidence of local rules and customs, the judge con tlnues. "lu the present case Iho defendant was on tho lea hand side of the highway, Willi room between In in and the curb for a carriage in the opposite direction to pass lliln, had a right of way on tho railway track, ho slrattled one of the rails, having thus but ouo wheel ou the track, it was his duty to follow tho "law of tho road," which regulated the conduct ur thnre not driving on the track. Instead of keeping In tho right of tho carrlago approaching him, he kept lo the left, and his right wheel come lu contact with the defemlait's right wheel. Ho was thus violating him self Ilia "law of tho road " The jury hav ing under these instructions as to the law uf the rase found Iho defendant guilty of no negligence, g.iyo a verdict in his ravor, This verdio'. wo sco no reason lo disturb. The motion for a now trial is dismissed." Hon. W. M. Rapshcr is renovating Ibe dwelling purchased by him from Mr. Shlok, at Mauch Chunk, and will moye to that borough on or about April 1st.
