    CITY BULLETIN.
11,6 W A EPOHTEM WAS SOLD A SR OONb
name of John Milby 'wait introduced auto
an tine recently published in the Butz writs as the pro
prietor of a cigar store Where renorters more than_ a
quarter of a century . M
ago used to glean items.. r,
Milby watt a "wag." -Having Kohl - one of the young re
porters by relating the adventuroa elaborate that sprang
through the bulk, window of a dry-good* store, the
"knight of the quill" defied him to do so again.
Many attempts' were' mettle, but the reporter was
fibrins% OD the tad vine; finally ho watt Mostbeautifully
void. upon going into the cigar store on. an afternoon,
he obseryed by the faro, of Mr. lllilby that, this gentla•
man Was roue& tolerated at something. He Was . worried.
.110 aipared 6 have been shedding tears. .He could not
~atteed to bestnees. '"Oh," says he to the rottener, "I
have mot with 'great afflictlon. My little son ,has
been almost killed by tne,.L..poor little follow is dying."
Here the tears started in the oyes of the disconsolate
He directed the reporter to go into the adjoin
ing room and see for himself. Ho did so, There lay the
little boy on the settee. His facto was yellow as saffron.
'Ho appeared to breathe freely, although,to the eye of the
reporter, helookad as if he were passing away to that
"undiscovered country whence no traveler returns."
The reporter came into the shop and learned the par•
t iculars of the mishap. It seemed Oaten Motley before
'the little fellow, being sleepy, laid himself down in the
bottom of a tobacco-press, in the cellar, and fell asleep.
Mr, Dliltiy shortly after proceeded to the cellar and put
a considerable quantity of loaf tobacco in the press and
screwed it down, not knowing his child was underneath
it,. Some time after this.the little fellow was missed,and
the family became' alarmed et his absence. Thethell-
Man wasproeured, and a "lost child" was proclaimed at
the street corners. The neighbors, sympathizing with
the afflicted family, rendered all the assistance in their
power, but the child could not be found. It was not un
til the next morning the discovery was made. Mr.
Milby, upon uncovering the press,yemoved the tobacco,
and, to his horror,he savihis little boy coiled up and ap
parently dead. There he had been, tightly. imprisoned, ,
from throe o'clock the afternoon before until nine o'clock
on the following morning.
This story, absurd as It is, really was believed by
the reporter, for he bad seen the boy stretched out on
the settee, and his sallow condition was proof enough at
the time of the effects of tobacco juice. The Ledger,on
the following morning, contained an interesting item, in
which the reporter very neatly introduced it story of a
tobacco worm:" There was not a word of truth in the
affair. Mr. Milby, finding his little boy to tie very
sleepy, saturated his face with the juice of the weed, and
then laid him down to sleep, Shortly before the usual
time for the reporter to arrive. This was considered to
be one of the rarest jokes of that period, and was the sub
ject of much merriment for several months.
THE COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE ASSOCIA
TION—A NEW PLACE Ot MEiVrtl'id.—Tlie members of
the Commercial Exchange A seociation held an ad
journed meeting, at the store of J. H. Michener A: Co.,
Arch street, this morning,to hear the report °fine Com
mittee appointed to secure a room for the transac
tion of business until the Chamber of Commerce is rc-
erected. - • •
Mr. J. H. Mehemet, President, called the meeting to
order, nd announced that he had several documents
which he would like to have read.
Mr. Gm. G. Pierie, Aesietant 'Secretary, - then road a
telegraphic despatch and a letter from Hon. A. G. Cot
tell, expressing his regret at the destruction of the beau
tiful building. Also a letter from Harrison Smith,
Secretary of the,Drug Exchange. tendering the use of
their room.
Mr. Hoffman then moved that the thauks of this AS:io
dation he tendered to, the Drug Exchange for their kind
offer. Agreed to.
Mr.lloftnimi, Chairman of the Ceminittee appointed
yesterday, then submitted the following report :
The committee appointed by you to examine the rooms
teridensi.to the Association by the Board'Of Brokers,
Tobacco Trade, Merchants' Exchange and Drug Ex
change, beg leave to report that they have attended to
the carne, and find the room of the Board of Brokers to
be the hest suited for the business of this Association.
As the hall of the Chamber of Commerce will not be
completed much before 8 or 9 months, your cotiunittee,
did not feel like accepting the room without payfng
rent, andtherefore desired the Board of Brokers to name
a sum as rent, and received in reply a preposition of
$lOO per month. The Committee would therefore ask
the adoption of the following:
Resolved, That the Board of Managers be directed to
rent the room of the Board of Broke' e, No. 411 Walnut
street, et the rate of It per month, and that they take
immediate steps to have the Hanle put in order for the
meetings (Attie Association.
General W. B. Thomas thought that sonie of therooms
en the lower floor of the Chamber of Commerce building
might be inn condition to be need, and asked if the com
mittee had examined them..
Mr.llinchinan,President of the Chamber of Commerce,
said that the walls are saturated with water, the coinage
will have to be taken down, and a temporary roof could
not he put on while rebuilding
Mr. Michener said that after a consultation with
builders and practical mechanics, he was uncertain how
much of the walls can be used in rebuilding.
The resolution submitted by the committee wan thou
adopted. Adjourned.
SPRUCE AND PINE:—The Spruce' and Pine
Streets Railway is now, probably, the most uncomforta
ble and worst-managed road in Philadelphia. Not only
has the badly-applied Slawson fare box driven many
people from the cars of this lino, and many others to the
verge of despair from the inconvenience and discomfort
attending the bad-management of this "improvement,"
but the general conduct of the road appears to be of the
most slovenly, ship-shod character imaginable. The
last specimen that has come under our notice occurred
day before yesterday.
Our reporter got into a car it the Twenty-second
street depot, in company with a number of gentle Men
a nd ladies, all in o hurry to get down town. The day
was cold, and the hour was the early afternoofr. Five
ten, fifteen minutes passed, and there was no sign of a
start. At last the driver made his appearance, munch
ing the last mouthful of his dinner, for which the impa
tient p as sengers now found they had been waiting. The
ear started at a walk, and slowly poked down Spruce
street. The fares were passed into the "Slawson,” but
the applications at the "change gate - produced no
change iu the gait of the miserable steeds. After some
eouaree of this apology for railway travel, a feeble at
tempt at a trot was made with very partial success. At
Seventeenth street, Jelin opened the front door and re
!marked in a gruff voice :
" Better not let any mire people in there. These here
bosses is balky, Mad they won't pull no tnore; ,
After this admonition this, '• Lightning Express•' re
sumed its headlong way. until it reached Fifteenth street,
when the horses calmly stopped. and declined to go any .
fierther. Jehu appeared to he quite accustomed to their
playful ways, and opening the door and making his
rei etelice to the •• Slaw - son," lie incited the paeseniters
to get out' and walk the nest of the way, ussiirMg them
that " them horses IS balky, and the Company Lain 't got
13. others, and Giere's no .use. fur you to wail, aud nuty
's well git out.' So the unfortunate victims of an un
managed street railway, having paid their rarer, alighted
in the muddy street, and walked home, thoroughly con
vinced that there was a good deal more pine than spruce
about the style of that particular " public convenience."
How WAtimNoToN WAS D ISFMILIZED —Per

SLIPPERY: VAVEMENTR.—Pedestrianism was

AT THE TOY.-- , 3iessiS. J. W. SCOtt „
the well-known dealers in gentlemen's furnishing
goods, No. 511 Chestnut street, have fitted up their store
—injured by the recent tire—in a most elegant manner,
so that it is now one of the finest establishments of the
kind in this country. In the, size. variety and cheap
110R4 of their stock of goods. also, they can rival any of
their competitors. Their specialty is shirt-making ; and
whether a man wants a fine dress shirt made in the
most artistic manner, era commoner article, ho can pro
cure it here at the lowest possible cost. and of such ad
mirable construction that it will fit him like his
skin. A good shirt is as necessary to masculine
felicity as a good dinner. If it wrinkles up, or sets
awry, or chafes his neck, or binds Lim across the
shoulders, or hitches him under the arms, he is as miser
able as a horse with his hair brushed the wrong way.
Messrs. Scott & Co. guarantee a perfect fit and perfect
satisfaction. Their stock of goods includes everything
that belongs to their business and a few things more.
A man can procure of them anything that he can want
to add to the comfort of his person or to make his toilet
complete—from a brocade dressing-grown to a toothpick.
It will only be necessary to visit Messrs. Scott & Co.'s
establishment and make a purchase or two there,in order
to become a regular customer.
A TIMELY APPEAL.—From the managers of
an excellentcharity, the "Industrial Home for Girls,"
we receive the following urgent appeal. The "Home" is
continually protecting young women who are otherwise
uncured for, aid saving them from the easy descent into
degradation and misery. It will be hard to point to a
more needed charity, or one more deserving of extension
and aid:
BEDS WANTED.
"Where did you sleep last night?'?
"In the Station House."
"Have you no place where you can go to-night ?"
"No, ma'am."
"Can you Lot pay for a night's lodging somewhere?"
"No, ma'am. I hasn't got a cent of money."
"What can we do?" say the managers of the Industrial
Home for Girls to each other, as this poor, half-clad,
homeless young woman waits in the Committee-room for
an answer to her appeal for shelter and employment.
"We cannot turn her away this cold evening, into the
streets. Yet. every bed in the 'Horne' is occupied, We
must tell the 'slatron to make up a bed on the floor, some' ,
where. for her to-night."
There is room in this [lonic for more of these homeless
ones, who help to fill the statiotehouses to overflowing,
if the means could be obtained to buy more beds. The
regular subscriptions and donations, which form the in
come of this institution, are not sufficient to do more
than meet the daily expenses ot the family'.
Shull the doors be closed against those Who seek shel
ter and protection hero, or will the 111"atig be applied for
the purchase of more bells, that all U 110 (.01110 may he
