besides 200 of his favorite wives. Since
then the number of victims killed by this
blood thirsty wretch for his father, is
2.400. Previous to my going to Whydah,
the King had sent his messengers with
his cane, commanding all people, bott
black and white, who were trading in his
country, to appear at Dal,omey, to attend
the grand custom in honor of the late
King his father. As ives not in Why.
dab at the time, the message was sent to
me, saying that he had been successful in
his expeditions, and had taken 5000

The scheelmaster's in That Bed!

Inc 4CneetmaSCer IN 1naC BED!
A correspondent Of the N. Y. Warerly;
gives the following, as one Of many Incl
dents that befel boarding round school
MASTER"
l had been teaching in. Mason county,
in the Sucker State, and this term had
been boarding round. One evening
after school, one Of my little scholars
stepped up to me and said
"Mr. Jones, father said you would
come home with me'
Every WE'LL" | replied, and forthwith
set out for nay patrons house, which was
distant some two miles. Now, be it
known, James McHarry-for that was
his name-had two daughters, the pride
and envy of the whole community. had
heard so much about them that / was
naturally anxious to see them. 1t seem
ed that | was to be disappointed. Wtetl
we arrived, the gals had gone to pattt
on the other side of the creek; so | weit
to bed cursing the luck which deprived
me of seeing them that night.
The night had we'll nigh advanced.
when l heard one Of the girls come home
and passing into the adjoining room, was
warming before some Goals which were
alive on the hearth. 1t SEEMS the old
lady and gentleman slept in that room
but was not aware of it till then. Hav.
ing warmed herself, she tarnbd to lea*e
the room, when the old man spoke:
Girls" said he, the schoolmaSter'S
in your bed.'
Very we'll said Sarah. AID passing
through the room l slept in, went Up
stairs. About an hour had elapsed when
l heard Judy, the other one, come. She
stood at the door a long time, talking
with "her feller," then entered softly -
Dlsrobing her feet, she entered the reeui
where | lay, in her stocking feet, care
fully undressed herself, and coming to
the bedside, prepared, to get in. Now il
happened that lay in the middle, and
turning back the Clothes, she gave me
shake and said in a suppressed whisper
LAY over, Sarah"
l rolled over, "and whipped the cornet
of the pillow in my mouth to keep from,
laughing. In she bounced, but the bed
would squeak. The Old man Heard it
and called out:
"sir," responded a faint voice beesidg
me-
"7Ae Scholmaster's in that 5ed!]"
With one loud yell and an ''Oh, Hea,t
eDsl" she landed on the floor, and fed
with the rapidity Of a deer up stairs
She never heard the last of it, 1 can tell
you.

The Stranger Nonplussed.

Among the restaurants in philadelphia
is one kept by ex Coroner D. Coroner
d. is pattern of amiability, with de.
gree tonnage growing daily more remark
able. Last September gentleman en-
tered the house and ordered dozen reed
birds and a pint of claret. While discuss
ing these delceacies he touched the bell
and requested the waiter to send Mr.. D.
to him. Mr.. D. requested the stranger
to take seat, and in few minutes the
twain were chatting as costly as though
they had been raised together from child
hood.
BY the way, Coroner"-he is still
called so-asked the stranger, the last
time l was in here. you had fuss with
somebody; pray what caused it"
" a chap contracted u bill Tor $3.50
and then refused to pay up."
!" And what did you do with him ?"
" Chucked him out of DOORS"
Is that all 7"
Yes-goipg to law don't pay. To
have obtained twenty shillings' worth of
law would have cost twenty dollars
worth Of time"
Then when IMAM swindles you, you
merely chuck him cut"
That's ALL"
" Well, what kind of wine have YOU p
" AS good On article of Heidsieck as is
now ex ant. Will you try bottle ?"
On one condition, and that is that
you will join me In drinking it,"
With pleasure, SIR"
Again the bell tinkled, again the white
aproned darkey disappeared down the
cellar way, and a moment after the black
bottle with it's silver necktie stood before
the affa5le stranger. Its contents were
duly iced and disposed Of when the Cor
oner begged to be excused, in order to
attend to some customers, who were
waiting for him In front. The stranger
shortly afterwards finished his reed
birds, and emerged from the dining box.
de confronted the Coroner within few
feet of the front door,
Mr.. D. your reed birds were cooked
to turn, and as for your Heidsieck, a
liner article never crossed the Atlantic. y
Happy to hear you say SO, sir" re.
piled the Coroner.
" AS memento of the repast | have a
slight favor to ask"
Name it, SIR"
Chnch me out."
Whatl You don't tiiean to say you
are swindlet ("
" ! don't mean anything else. | haven't
a nickel, and if you want pay for those
reed .ds. you must take it as you did
the other pay-chuch me out !"
This was too much for the Coroner
The stranger wore bran new hat, fresh
and glossy from the hatter's. The Cor
oneI, made dash, took the shvster by
the necktie; removed his castor without
ruffling hair Of the nap, passed castor
over to barkeeper, and then walked back
as coolly as though nothing had Happened
The stranger was good deal nonplussed
but being caught in his own trap, could
say nothing. That he was penniless was
shown by the fact that he walked away
bareheaded. That he never came back
for the castor is pretty good proof that
he raised one somewhere else. Who OF
what he is nobody knows. That it takes
all kinds of people to make world, this
little incident, however, should leave no
one unsats6ed.

"YOU BET"

Is there phrase in the English language
of more uncouth slang than the one which
forms this caption 1t is certain that here
no one is in more general use. With Its adj
juncts it serves as an affirmative, negative,
a rider and chorus. Owing to its recent
introduction it has not as yet found q place
in literature to any extent, at present being
affected only by newspaper writers with
would be reputation for smartness, who mis-
take slang for wit But out of print in every
day conversation, one is forced to hear 1t,
continually. The little urchin, tumbling
around on the grass inside the front yard
fence has it over to himself; and the little
school girl whom you pass with the sainta-
ton of "a pleasant morning and nne Time.
for your play, returns the answer OF ;" ou
bet it is" Boys have more opportunities
for hearing slang, and will, as matter u
course, repeat such language as they near
heir elders use; so that with them, the
fact that "You bet Barkeep," or "You bet It
is" "You bet it amt" has in measure
taken the place of simple yes and no, Is not
surprising But that ladies OF elegance anu
