Sahhnlh School Tlcnlc.
Mit. Editor. Last. Thursday, the
10th Inst., the members of the M. E.
Sabbath School held their annual
picnic. It was remarked by nil who
were present and participated in tho
fun nnd chccl, that in every respect
the picnic was a succss, surpassing
any held previous to this one. Every
body was in n good humor nnd ready
for fun. Tho older people, noted for
their wisdom and dignity, laid these
nside and for the day became children.
Playing croquet and swinging, seemed
to be the order of the day, for swing
ing especially their seemed to bo i
mania, tho only regret concerning
this was on the part of the young men,
who In order that they might be con
sidered heroes by the j'oung ladies,
pulled long and hard at the ropes,
blistering their hands and exhaust
ing themselves only to hear the cheer
ing words higher yet. Two things In
connection with the picnic are worthy
of special notice. One, the voracious
appetites of the people, the amount of
food and the number of gallons of ice
cream that disappeared that day was
wonderful. Tho beauty of the
grounds especially deserves notice. A
spot was chosen for the picnic, just op
posite Mr. Hyde's sawmill and on his
property. Thanks are due to Mr.
Hyde for the use of the grounds.
Credit is to be given to Mr. Holaday
for the choice of the grounds. Much
labor was devoted to their improve
ment and I know every member of
the pleasure party feel grateful to all
who assisted in thcirreparation. A
few minutes walk will give any and
all a better idea of them than we can
give you through the pen. The Idea
suggested itself to quite a number of
the citizens, Unit by a little labor and
expense, with the consent of the pro
prietor, the grounds might be mado
into a sort of park, for summer resort
and social gatherings. We believe
that the hist suggestion U worthy of
further consideration and thativ move
in this direction would bo well repaid.
As evening came on, gradually tho
members of the picnic begun to dis
perse. All wore more or less wearied
in body, but well satisfied with the day
of enjoyment. W. H. S.
"Hoodlums." Who are they ?
The question i.-j answered by the
Philadelphia Ledger: Tho word
"hoodlum" is used on the Pacific coast
as a descriptive term for idle young
rowdies of tho kind that mako up tho
gangs of "corner loafers" of our At
lantic cities. Tliey stand about iu
groups in the disorderly parts of all
towns, and arc free with their foul
tongues iu making offensive remarks
upon all persons passing by. If
spoken to about their conduct, they
reply by repeating their insults and
indulging in other ruffianism, includ
ing profanity, obscenity, and, not un
frequently, actual assault with fists,
clubs and stones, This tribe of ras
cally boys and young men the Cali
furniaus cull "hoodlums." There is
no peculiarity about the matter but
tho name. There arc plenty of just
such fellows about the outskirts of our
large towns, and some small ones, too.
The "hoodlum" is the boy whoso
parents or guardian permit to grow up
and pass the years from fifteen to
twenty .without work nt any useful
occupation, idling away his time by
lounging about bar-rooms, street corn
ers and "on tho lots" with other
young rowdies uud blackguards.
They are always troublesome und
sometimes dangerous, for they always
make up a large proportion of rioters
Theirs are the idle and vicious' hands
that are always ready for "tho devil's
work.
