Who owns those rocks in front of the theatre ? If you'll answer truly, I'll take the Herald another quarter. Growler. . answers. i L The city ordinances require teams and animals to be driven on the streets; but to drive them on the side-walks is much more in consonance with the disposition dis-position manifested by certain parties, who would like to ignore ail municipal authority iu efforts to prove that a man is curtailed in his rights unless he cm do as he pleases, right or wrong. People of this class never admired wholesome laws and regulations, which impose two many restraints on them. 2. Not that we are aware of. But, then, on dark and cloudy nights it may be thought necessary by some to have such conveniences, for the purpose of making pedestrians "see stars." Our querist will understand that stars are supposed to afford "scintillations of luminosity," lu-minosity," vu'garily called light. 3. Tax-payers are presumed to claim the preference, but this is an age of revolutions and changes. Young America Amer-ica rules the matrons, and the ladies, in their female suffrage efforts, show a strong disposition to hand over the feminine duties to the masculines aud govern dejure as well as de facto, so that, though the men pay the taxes, it is supposable they only have the preference to the side-walks when the juveniles choose to grant it to them. 4. Generally narrow guage; only sometimes wide-traveling gentlemen can see them stretching half way across the street, when they would be decidedly broad guage. 5. We think not. The great difficulty diffi-culty in the way is to find a boat of an automatic build that would suit itself to the different depths of water. Sometimes Some-times the pott office lake would carry a good sized craft, and at, other times the keel of a light-drawing vessel would grate on the bed-rock. One of the peculiar build of steamers that the Mississippi Captain doated on, would answer. They could float on an ocean or make headway across country on the dew. o. uou t Know. ny aoesn t our querist state which "rocks?" We are no clairvoyant, and can't tell what particular par-ticular pile is in the gentleman's head. If they were good "milling rocks" the owner would soon put in an appearance appear-ance and make himself known. We have answered " Growler's" queries, and now he can please himself about taking the Herald. If it suits him he can hand in his two dollars and the carrier will pay him matutinal visits vis-its ; if he thinks he can better invest his money, by all means let him propel. |
