WHAT UK WASTED TO SEE.
A Ktot-jrnr the Niinrluro.
It was nearly noon in oir sanctum.
AH was still except ihcticking of the
clock above Hie chief editor's dc3k
which clock, by the way, had never
been known to keep the ri-jht time for
the last five years and the scratch!
scratch! scratch! of the pens of our tal
ented and intellectual staff, as said pen?
traveled quickly over the white-paper
pajjes.
Suddenly the door opened.
A s. ranger appeared.
Jt was :i stranger of the male species.
A mild and apparently innocent stran
ger, whose clothes, from their general
vagueness of lit and inadaptability to
form, seemed to have been made by
some country carpenter.
He oj cned the door softly and ob
truded himself in as if he was not quite
cei tain as to whether or not he had ar
rived at the right place.
"Good-day," remarked he, with a
smile which seemed to embrace the
whole oflicc. even down to the bare
armed and dirty-faced printer' "devil,"
who lay complacently sleeping upon a
pile of old exchanges, waiting for
" copy," which in his heart of hearts
lie wished might never be "ready."
Our head editor got up.
Our head editor took agcncral rceon
noissance of the stranger as he ad
vanced. It was notccrta n in our head
editor's mind who the stranger was.
lie might be anew subscriber; he might
be the advance agent of a circus; ho
might be a Deputy Sheriff; or, worse
than all, he might have a small bill
against one of our stall".
Therefore our head editor, who is a
born diplomat, adopted a line of policy
which was entirely non-committal.
"How are you?" said he.
The stranger smiled again.
"Well, thank you," was his reply.
"Are you the editor?"
Our head editor calculated up the
questioner, and replied that he was.
'J his bold avowal was prompted by the
fact that our head editor gathered from
his calculation that, if needful, he could
prove himself the muscular superior of
the stranger, or, in vernacular, "lick
him."
The stranger seemed pleased.
"Glad to know you," said he; "I
have a favor to ask of yon."
A dreadlul suspicion occurred to our
head editor. Perhaps the stranger was
some long-lost brother, or some fellow
quill-driver, who desired to borrow
money of him! Hut the blissful thought
that he did not have any money any
way reassured him.
"Well, sir," asked he.
The stranger looked around. There
seemed a mystery attending his look.
He did not appear to be desirous of
being observed.
"Uh," whispered he, "I want to sec
the blood-stained club!"
"The uiialf- gasped our head editor.
"The blood-stained club."
"What arc you talking about?"
The stranger pulled out a paper. It
was a dirty paper, a paper creased and
folded, and bearing signs of half a hun
dred readings.
He unfolded the paper so that its
heading was visible.
"The OshkoMi War Whoop," read
he. "This. I believe, is the publica
tion office of the Oshkosh II nr Whoopf
" Yes, &ir," replied our head editor.
"Well, here is week before last's
number. In one column you say: Ycs
tcrday a gaunt youth arrived with a
poem called 'Spring, spiing, beautiful
spring!' Ho was the first of the brood,
and wo hope he will be the last Wo
brought out the bloodstained club, the
club we use for poets, and without a
groan, without a sigh, he" sank down
dead!' Was not that priutcd in your
paper?"
"Yes, sir."
" Then, as I said before, I want to
soo the blood-stained club."
Our head editor laughed. It was
not a nierry laugh, but a laugh whose
accents of glee seemed but a feeble
mockery.
"That's a joke," said he.
"Aioke?" said the stranger, as if
doubting his cars.
"Yes, sir."
"There wasn't any gaunt youth?"'
"No. sir."
"No poem?"
"No, sir."
"He did not die, the poor poet, with
out a groan or without a sigh?"
"No, sir."
"And, last of all, thero was not any
blood-stained club?"
"No, sir."
"And, as you say, it is all a joTjc?"
"Yes, sir."
Tho stranger reflectively wiped his
brow with a rod handkerchief -to which
washing seemed to be a vague and in
frequent act.
- " Can can," ha hesitatingly said,
"I view your grave-yard."
"Our grave-yard?" questioningly
answered our head editor.
" Yes, sir your'private grave-yard."
" WThat do you mean?"
The stranger pulled out his .copy "of
our papcragain.
"On tho fifth page," be remarked,
"you say: 'One hour ago there lived a
man who does not live now. He came
into our office and said. 'It Is a
good day for the race.' 'What race?'
asked we. 'The human race,' was
the fiendish reply. That settled it. Ho
is calmly reposing now in our private
grave-yard, his head beneath a rose.'
Bid, yon Dot print that?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then show me down; I want, as I
said before, to view your private grave
yard." - "That was a joke, too," said our
head editor.
There wasn't any man?"
. "No, sir."
".He said nothing at all about a
Jirace?"
v "No, sir." r-
" His heai'is hot beneath a rose?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"And joa haven't any private grave
yard?" J
"No, sir; we don't even own a qnar
fcr share in a tomb-stone."
A gloomy and dark frown gathered
over the stranger's face.
I suppose," said he, "you haven't
. fot fighting editor?"
"No. air.'7

also?"
" Yes, fir."
"There's a good deal of joking about
a newspaper.'"
"Has to be, sir."'
"You apnrccialo jokes?"
" Certainly sir."
" I'm glad to hear it," was the stran
ger's answer, as, with a twinkle in his
care-lined eye, he produced a paper
from his vest-f.o-.-kot.
He edged toward the door.
" You appreciate jokes?" asked ho,
for the second time.
"Yes, sir," rcspon led our head
editor, in a wondering way.
"Well, sir, HI show you a great joke.
My name is Joshua Whittaker. 1 live
way back county. I owo you, I kal
kcrlate. about two years' subscription
arrears for your paper. When I read
about your blood-stained club, and your
private grave-yard, and your lighting

just let the bill run for another two

it? You might print it. "HI just tear

Twitch! twitch! twitch!
The bill fell in a dozen useless frag
ments upon the lloor, and, while our
head editor was irnsnin-" fur breath, the
n i
stranger faded sweetly and severely
away. Fires hie Co mpa nion.
How Tom Scott Took Service ttIIIi the
Pennsylvania I load.
At this time J. hdgar Thompson had
become the company's Ciiief Engineer.
Talking one day with Dr. Given, for
mer Collector of Tolls at Columbia,
and then holding a contract with the
Pennsylvania Ha! road, he asked if the
latter could recommend to him a nnti
to act as Station Agentat Dtincnnsvil'f,
on tho Allegheny Mountains, then the
western ternrnu.? of the road. The
Station Agent was to have charge of
the transfer of passengers n:idreUrht
between the cars of the Vea4f, rvaRia
Company and those of the State Itoad.
" There wa a young man used to
clerk for me at Columbia that would
suit you first-rate," replied Dr. Given.
" What's his name? asked Engineer
Thompson.
"Thomas A.Scott."
" I will send word to him."
And he did, and by telegraph, too.
Mr. Thompson was silting next da in
his ollicc in Harrisburg when in walked
a visitor, who was a picture of maul'
beauty and who bore about him such a
breezy air of independence as plainly
indicated that corporation ch:efta:n.s
had no terrors for him. His long yel
low hair stragirled over his houders. a
wide-brimmed slouch hat was perched
on the back of his head, his pants were
tucked in his boots ami his hands were
exploring the very depths of his pock
ets. "Young man, what do 3-011 want?"
inquired Engineer Thomson, looking
around and gazing at this picture.
"I believe you telegraphed for me,"
was the response, in a very clear but
respectful tone, but with no appearance
of embarrassment.
"What is your name?"
"Thomas A. Scott."
"Are you the young man Dr. Given
recommended.
The Ciiief Engineer, after a long and
earnest scrut;ny of the longhair, the
big hat. the boot-encased pants ami
pocket-hidden hands, said suddenly and
brusquely, "1 don't think you will" suit
me."
"That doesn't make a darned bit ol
difference," replied the fa'r younir man
with the golden locks, not one whit
abashed. "1 made up my mind to conic
down here anyway and try 3-011 a month,
and if I liked -ou"tostay,and if I didn't
I would mighty soon tell you so. Good
da', sir."
"Hold on, there," called out Ch:ei
Thomson, as the oung man was walk
ing from the iloor, probably dem
onstrating more quickness of determina
tion than he ever afterward displayed.
"Come back here: I guess 1 will" try
you for a month." and he tried him for
many years afterward. l'hiluddphiu

Slorinir Up ElcctrieiJy.
Tho Enure battciy continues to at
tract attention in France ami England
A correspondent of the London Timrs,
tells how he carried a box of the stored
up electricity from Paris to Ghvgov.
Ho says: A Faurc batter, or pile sec
ond'iirc, was charged with tho electric
fitfd direct from the ordinary Grove
battery and in my presence. The re
ceptacle consisted of four Faurc bat
teries, each about five inches diameter
and ten inches high, forming a cylin
drical leaden vessel, and containing al
ternate sheets of metallic lead and min
ium wrapped in felt and rolled into a
spiral wetted with acidulated water,
and the whole placed in a square wood
eu bx, measuring about one cubic foot
and weighing some seventy-live pounds.
This was protected by a loose wooden
cover through which the clcctrode3 (in
lead) protruded, and wero flattened
down lor convenience of transport.
This box of "electric energy" "was
handed to me by M. Faure, at my re
quest, with the "object of submitting it
for examination and measurement- to
tho eminent electrician. Sir William
Thomson, at the University of Glasgow.
In about seventy-two hours from tho
time of charging in Paris 1 had the sat
isfaction of presenting Sir William
Thomson M. Fanre's "box of electrici
ty," intact and potent, holding by
measurement within that small space
of one cubic foot a power equivalent to
nearly one million of foot pounds! This
wonderful box Vs now deposited in the
laboratory of the Glasgow University,
and being submitted to a scries of tests
and measurements, the results of some
of which made Sir William exclaim,
" Why, it's a little witch!" The writer
enthusiastically adds that the advan
tages to science aud humanity at large
which this discovery (or ra'her perfec
tion of M. G. Phintc's discovery) is
destined to afford are of such transcend
ent importance that we cannot for
the present form any correct estimate
of their magnitude.
The Sub-Treasury Gold Wagon.
The little, dingy-looking -"'gold wag
on," which has been used for twelve
years past to carry the money received
for duties from th'e New York Custom
House to the Sub-Treasury, has been
retired from service. Sometimes it
made as many as a dozen trips daily,
carrying as much as $80,000 in glitter
ing gold coin each time. The money
was usually put up in bags of $20,00C
each, which were placed in heavy
oaken boxes with massive rod-iron
handles. These boxes were then put
into tho wagon-box. and a lid with
clamps of iron was locked down over
it. The wagon was pushed like a hand
cart by two Costom-House porters, ac
companied by an armed watchman,
whose duty it was to seo that the load
of treasure was not interfered with by
thieves. The little used-up wagon has
carried in its time probablv not Tess
than S500.000.000, or about4.500 tons
weight in gold, and the dead weight
and strain of the -precious freight had
rendered it rather rickety and unsafe.
In its place a new wagon has been pur
chased, with solid wheels girt with
iron tires half an inch thick, painted a
deep blue color, and marked with the
sovereign letters "U. S?' in front

The adulteration question is now fair
ly before the public mind. Some two
cars since Mr. Angell. of Boston, made
tome very grave assertions before the
Social Scieri 0 Association ai to the ex
tent of these adulterations. His method
wa somewhat inexact and hi3 manner
that of a bold enthusiast. Neverthe
less, he succeeded in doing that which
"s the beginning of most investigation
and a reform. He excited controversy.
Eminent chemists, as Morton and Nich
ols aud Chand er, controverted his
statements or doubted their accuracy;
but Hoards of Trade were incited to ac
tion in the line of honest inquiry.
Strong attempt was made to secure ac
tive Governmental movement. Mr.
Angell appeared before the Congres
sional Committee, and mide ven posi
tive statements, which have been spread
broad cast over the country. The Nation
al Hoard has made somewhat superficial
examination, and gives the opinion that,
while drugs are largely adulterated, our
common loods arc not; aUo that many
of the adulterants are harmless to
health, although frauds financially.
Some of the States, like New Jersey,
have passed laws as to adulteration.
The New Y'jrk Legislature has favor
ably reported a bill of a similar k nd;
but it has been chiefly exercised over
rluco?e and oleomargarine. Glucose,
although not harmful, is a great
fraud when compared with cane
sugar in nutrit.vc value. Many of
our sirups and some of our sugars
arc Jargery glucose. Great quantities
of honey are upon tite market over
which the bus' little bee never im
proved a shining hour. As to oleomar
garine, is manufacture has become a
groat industry. No doubt it can be
prepared so as to serve as a substituto
ior butter, both in cookery and in table
use. If used for the latter purpose, as
a very high temperature is not ucd in
its manufacture, there is some danger
from the cntozoa. some of which are
found in fats and are transmissible to
man. K There is no good reason why the
f.its should not be subjected to high tem
peratures. It seems quite necessary
that some system of inspectorship
i-hould be adopted which will insure
right methods of manufacture, and the
marking of packages so sis to distin
guish from pun; butter. In a late En
glish trial the defendant pleaded that
the tub was marked " 15osh Mutter" on
one side. The Judge decided that
"Bosh" is an Americanism, not under
stood by Englishmen, and, therefore,
did not Mifliciently define the oleomar
garine. We hope there will be somo
wise legislat on as to these two articles
before the trade becomes so enormous
as to monopolize legislative influence.
As to less notorious adulterations, it is
to be remembered that it is an inviting
field for the cupidity of men; that tho
world is growing more artistie and
being furnished with moreskillful meth
ods of combination; aud that we are not
to expect riddance from such evils excopt
through rigid law and authorized watch
fulness. While harmless ingredient
are more naturally sought: yet, as in
the case of alum in bread, or" acids in
baking-powders, or colors for effect, the
mixer easily convinces himself that
small quantities will do no harm. The
National Hoard of Health recently co
operated with the New York Hoard of
Trade and with the prcmum oiler of
the sanitary engineer in forwarding a
form of law which was deemed expedi
ent, as not being overstrict or strin
gent, on the one hand, or too lax, on the
other. No one can note the marked
decrease of adulteration which has
taken place in England, under a system
of public analysis, without feeling that
much the samo course is desirable here.
The adulterants used and the articles
adulterated will from time to titno
change; but the practice will continue,
unless thus guarded. Most of our
eties arc so satisfied of the need as to
milk that special inspectors are ap
pointed. Their experience shows that
the reality of the evil is not overstated.
A report made last year b3 the New
York Inspect n. and this year by the
New Jersey Inspector, presents many
facts of importance.
Cider vinegar is now entirely too
scarce an article, and doubtful "acids
a'llict the stomach. There arc still
other directions, newer than these, in
which the attention of aualysts is now
being directed.
The adulterations which occur to
drugs arc admitted by all to be of a
serious character, if recovery from
sickness at all depends upon the u?c of
proper medicines, it is easy to sec that
a fraud here may be attended with the
most serious consequences. Wo have
ourselves kno'vn two or three instances
in which life has been jeopardized or
lost because of the iuertness of a
preparation, and one of where convul
sions were caused. The United States
inspection of drugs is of some service,
but not alone sufiicienL Opium needs to
be carefully watched. Quiuidia is often
sold for quinine. Bromide of potassium
has been substituted for the iodide.
Ipecac is often found adulterated.
Rhubarb in powder cannot be relied
upon without examination. Cream of
tartar, if needed for medical use, must
be carefully tested. Many of the les3
conspicuous drug have various forms
of falsification. The subject is one of
such grave importance that even those
who doubt the extent of food adultera
tions insist upon a careful inspection
ami testing of the chief articles used as
medicines. We hope that tho United
Suites will pass some law that will
reach all of our foreign drills, and that
we shall have more stringent regula
tions as to domestic medicines. We
commend a careful attention to this
subject at this time, in order that
proper watchfulness and proper re
straints may be secured A. 1. Indc
paidcnt. Black Grenadine Dresses.
-Black grenadine remains a standard
choice for summer dresses, but this
season the plain sewing-silk grenadines
with smooth surface will be chosen in
preference to all others. The trimming
lor this simple fabric is the r chest cm
broidery of silk on net in close patterns,
anil th s is combined with the showy
Spanish lace, or tho les? decorativo
French laces, made in excellent imita
tions of real thread lace. Fine knife
plaitings of the smooth grenadine are
placed in many rows up the ent're front
of the skirt. A breadth .on'each side is
covered with panels of the embroidery,
made by placing the two straight edges
together, and putting them lengthwise
on the skirt,- then surrounding the
whole panel with plaited lace. The
back drapery of the grenad'ne is usual
ly made of two breadths very simply
arranged, and long enough to reach to
the foot, where it meets two narrow
kaife-plaitings like those on the front
of the skirt. Bows, chatcaines, and
large rosettes of ribbon, either of plain
satin or else richly watered, are on tho
side panels. The' basque for such a
dress usually has a surplice vest of the
embroider and the entire sleeve may
be of the transparent embroidery, or
else of the grenadine, with a turned-up
fiat -cuff of this garniture. The back of
the basque has bows for ornament.
Satin Surah of inexpensive quality is
used for the fonndation of such a dfess.
When embroidery is omitted, Spanish
lace flounces are placed across the
front and side gores of the skirt, and
the drapery is narrowly confined at the
back. For very gay dresses for
young ladies the terra-cotta shades,
olive, or yellow satin Sarah is used for
the entire foundation beneath the trans
parent grenadine and hue. When the
dress is all black, it is necessary to pat
& scant flounce or plaiting of black
crepe lisse under the lace llounces to
support them, and to bring oat the
figures well. The silk square-meshed
grcnadine3 so well liked for service ara"
made up in similar styles, and also
with plain self-trimmings for morning
wear and more general use. Three
deep plaitings covering the back
breath, with aa amply draped apron
and a singlo plaiting at the foot, mike
a "ood design for these canvas gren
aifincs. or else the reverse of this is
used, having two or three lengthwise
plaitings for the entire front, with two
draped breadths behind. A pretty
basque for such dresses has the front
and sides cut ofT an inch or two b:low
the waist line all around, until the mid
dle forms of the back are reached; a
deep plaiting (from two to three
fingers deep) then tills out the short
ened parts, and meets the middle back
forms, which are folded in two great
box plaits, or drapl in handkerchief
points, or else have a long scarf tied in
a sah bow upon them. When a gayer
dress is desired, steel or jet fringes
and pr-ssementer.e arc used for trim
ming these plain grenadines, but the
tasteful choice this season is the heavy
embroidery and Spanish lace garniture.
When striped, blocked and brocaded
grenadines are used, those with tatin
foundations are chosen, and many
have the figures of plush or velvet.
These are made up over satin, but as
this makes them heavy, a skirt of
twilled Surah, or else of the satin
Surah, is preferred where lightness of
weight is considered Two "or three
deep Sur.ih plaitings, each edged with
Spanish lace, make a beautiful trim
ming for the front and sides of such a
skirt. The figured grenadine is then
draped on the back, and is used for the
basque. Harper's Baz'ir.

Getting Vaccinated.
A Detroit doctor who- has vaccinated
over live hundred men. women aud
children in tho last two weeks has had
heaps of fun in watching the workings
of human nature under the lancet.
" Getting vaccinated" is somehow con
nected in most minds with getting a
tooth pulled, nnd patients expect to
suffer as much pain. Not more than
two men out 01 ten walk square up
to the rack. Tncy hesitate, haug on,
make inquiries, and in many instances
remark that they will wait a day or
two. One refused to be vaccinated
until he was tied to a chair. Another
offered the doctor a dollar oxtra togivo
him chloroform. Scores of them want
somj object to clutch to. and they shut
their eyes, grit their teeth, and call up
sufficient resolution to carry them
through the operation of having a
broken leg reset. A well known citi
zen had made two calls and backed
out. The third time he came he rushed
into the ollicc, peeled oil' his coat and
pushed up his sleeve, and, throwing him
self into a chair, shut his eyes, and
called out:
"Quick! Quick! Bring on that laughing-gas;
and then don't be a second put
ting that lancet into my arm!"
A negro was one day observed walk
ing up and down in front of the otlico
for a long time, and tho doctor finally
stepped to the door and asked him if ho
wanted to be vaccinated.
" Deed, sah, dat's what I cum fur."
was the reply, "but tho worry minit I
turned dat co'ner de blamed ling quit
aching!"
The favorito exclamation with men
when the lancet is felt is "Woosh!"
Once in awhile one say "Thunder!"
and about one in twenty refers to a land
that is hotter than this. Most of the
women express their surprise with an
"Ouch!" but now and then one yells
"Oil. Lordy!" As a rule, the woman
all shed tears, and many of them come
prepared to faint away; children have
to be flattered aud coaxed, and it is
sometimes necessary to tell them that
bears and Indians are always on the
lookout for children who haven't been
vaccinated. Tears and sobs and wails
are the rule, but the transit from "Oh,
ma. I know he'll kill me!" to, "Say, I
got vaccinated and never cried but
once!" is as glorious as it is brief. J)c

A Mixed Assemblage.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Telegraph describes tho
court-room audience at the Nihilist
trials as follows: "A peculiar feature
in the assemblage, aud highly illustra
tive of the heterogeneous elements com
posing the Russian Nation, was a group
of priests of various faiths, who had been
summoned to admin stcr the necessary
oatli3 to witnesses of their rcspect.ve
creeds. Beside a priest of the Greek
Church was a sedate and swarthy
Imam, clad in flowing robes, with a
.voluminous white turban folded round
his head, denoting that the wearer had
visited the holy shrine at Mecca. Next
to the follower of Mohammed sat a full
bearded, long-haired, nquiline-fcatu ed
and dark-complexioned Armenian, whe
did not appear to relish his proximity
to the sworn enemy of the cross. A
solemn Jewish Rabbi, in somber gar
ments, separated these from the next
pair, who afforded a striking and
amusing contrast. This last couple
were a Franciscan monk, representing
the Church of Home, and a Lutheran
m nistcr, whose dress and appearance
denoted a strict disciple of Calvin. The
sharp-featured, close-shaved, sanctimonious-looking
monk, clothed in a
long white serge dressing-gown and
hood, with a cord girded round his
waist, sniffed ineffable contempt as the
prim, dapper little Calvinist, in his
short black cassock, took his scat be
side him. But the contempt was mu
tual, for no bigoted follower of John
Knox could have expressed greater
scorn for the infamies of the Babylonish
women than was depicted on every
lineament of the severe countenance ol
the Calvinist as he glanced sidelong at
his self-satisfied neighbor. Fortunate
ly, perhaps, for the public peace, these
holy men sat in close proximity to the
drawn swords of the gendarmes guard
ing the prisoners."
-
It is said by many who have tried
the experiment that dogs may be pre
vented from worrying sheep by having
bells, say one to each two sheep, hung
around "their necks. Numerous in
quiries have always, been answered to
the effect that dojrs have never been
known to attack sheep when belled. A
good farmer in Leyden who keeps
about a dozen excellent Southdown
ewes, ahvays belled, was grieved and
surprised one morning to find that dogs
had raided his flock, killed two, man
gled others and scattered the rest. On
collecting his little flosk into the yard
after a half-day's search he found that
the tongue was lost from the bell. This
was replaced, and never since have his
sheep been worried. The experiment
is so simple and cheap that it is worth
trying, and this, is the time to do it, as
sheep with lambs are just going to
pasture. Exchange.
Extract from a book of South Amer
ican travels: "Never had those lonely
wilds been traversed by human beings,

A Pat-up Job en the Pawn--cr.
Last Sunday, as the castern-boend
Union Pacific cxpre ran into the litt!o
mining town ot Htlhard, Wyom og.
there wa observed a man. who looked
as if he had all the bad elements of hu
manity combined in htm. bonnd tightly
to a telegraph pole near tho depot, by a
rope, and two or three armed sentineU
standing guard over him. while a second
rope daag.ed gracefully and signifi
cantly from the cross-trees. A short
distance from this group was another
party in ths act of buryinj; a dead man.

from a neigh bonnr pole. Tno body

full v understood that this kind of proced

ment prevailed throughout tho train,
aad a disposition was manifested by
some of the "nerviest passenger to
go out and rescue the poor victim from
the miners, and in fact an expedition
did go out and ak the caue of tha
high-handed badness. TLey wero in
formed that the two mcu were notori

region for a long tune, but had finally
been captured, and were simply under

philanthropic and humane pivsengers
this seemed barbarism, aud they offered
all tho inducements in their power to
save the hfe o! the remain ng culprit,
and allow him at least a trial bv jury.
It was wh pc:cd cndenttalfv that
the miners liberated their prisoner on a
good round sum ot ramsom money, and

lamented, nevertheless, the sail fate of
the other thief who passed in h:s chips

so ruthlessly planted, was nothing but
overalls and a shirt stuffed with straw
and a pair of boots. The fellow who

but a poor, innocent tramp, whom the
miners intended to h.ive a l.ttlo fun

of is send for mother.

iu the light of the experience which
three or four babies bring, find
that they have beea ridiculous and
given mother a good many trots for

Did any one ever send for mother
and she fail to cunc? Never, unless
sickness or the infirmities of age pre

Influence of .1 Good Dinner.
The Secrotnry of the Detroit Lime
kiln Club announced a communication
from the President of the White Hose
Debatitig Club, asking Brother Gardner
to take sides on the que-tion: "Am
sheep-meat too good fur cull'd folks?"
The club had the question before :t for
several meetings, and failing to agree it
had been agreed to accept the decision
of the Limekiln Club.
" I should say dat it was accordin' to
sarcumstanccs," replied the Prcs dent,
as he removed his spectacles. " In do
case of a lazy, wicked, right-down
nigger cben ole bonc3 am too good fur

A .Romantic ConrUbip.
Mr. Theodore Stanton, son of the
Hon. Henry Stanton, of New York, was
married. May 19. at the American Lega
tion in Paris, to Mile. Marie Marguerite
de Berry, of Paris. This union wa.i
preceded by a romantic courtship. In
1878, when in Paris seeing the ExpoM
tion, the happy bridegroom noticed one
day. in the Journal (Its Detals, that a
certain young Jrrench lady had jost
taken a decree at the Sorbonne. Curi
ous to investigate this example of
French educat-on. he addressed tn the
young lady a letter asking for informa
tion on the subject. This gave ris to
a correspondence, which continued for
two years, Mr. Stanton retnrninsr to
America after the interchange of the
first letter, without having made the
acquaintance of his fair correspondeut.
In the autumn of 18S0 he visited Paris
again, saw the young lady, fell in love
not with her, out with Sllle. deBerry,
her friend from infancy, and het con
stant companion. Now, it happened
that thee two girls had long before
agreed to be married on the sameday,
and it also happened that Mr. Star ton's
correspondent had long been-eagaged
to tfie brother of his intend. So a
doable wedding was the result, and
