Is Truth Stranger than Fiction


A Yankee pedler, who had stopped in I
coffee house to refresh himself one hot day
says the Yankee Blade, heard very
strange old gentleman remark some marvel
ous story said to be true, "truly, truth ii
stranger than fiction" So Jonathan, step
ping up and slapping the astonished gem
on the back, said:
"You're mistaken right thar, old hoss
faint SO, and to prove it I'll wager you ju
leps for the crowd that I can tell one fiction
thatll just 60 ahead Of any truth ever you
tell on"
"Good," said the old gentleman, "Pd
like to hear any fiction that can 60 ahead
of Christopher Columbus"
"Pshaw! Christopher Columbus amt 6
circumstance" said Jonathan "but here
goes:
"Onst I was standing by big river, out
in Sahary dersert that was dried up. The
sun shone so alfred hot, that I was OBJ
liged to tie my handkerchief over my eyes
to keep them from bein' blinded; and as
Twas standin' thar, I happened to look down
the river, and seed big boat without any
bottom come foatin' up stream, with a
hull lot of fellers on her; one of 'em had
no eyes, t'other no arms, another no legs,
and the last chap in the starn of the boat
had no mouth! I never seed such sight
before; was scared like blazes-and jest
stood lookin' at 'em. Presently the chap
as had no eyes looked down and seen ten
cent piece at the bottom of the river and
the feller who had no arms bent over and
picked it up, then handed it to the chap
who had no legs, and he jumped out of the
boat and waded ashore, went to a grog shop
what wasn't thar, bot pint whisky and
handed it to the fellow what had no mouth
and he drank it up; and all the rest got
drunk-and the last I seed of 'em the
feller what had no mouth was singing Hail
Columbia; while the chap what had no
legs was dancin' ; the no-eyed chap was
reading text on the pslam book, and the
feller what had no arms was clapping his
hands and waving his hat like blazes-and
| left just about that time"
"Juleps for the crowd, and charge to
mew roared the old gentleman, as he bolt
ed out of the back door.

THE TRUTH

-
You watch your neighbours actions
More than you do your own;
You cannot, or you will not,
Let his affairs alone!
In short your neighbours business,
Which none concemeth you,
You meddle with, till yours
Is clearly out of view!
1t Is the ungamised truth
You know It Is the truth!
You see your neighbor's faillngs,
But you do not see your own;
And think that you are worthy
To cast at him the stone,
When if you'd wipe your mirror,
Till you yourself could see,
You'd find you're just as erring,
And full of faults as he!
1t Is the ungarnished truth
You know II Is the truth!
The way you judge q person,
Is b. the cloth he wears,
You do not stop TO notice
The inward heart he bears;
If his dress Is growing seedy,
Or ragged, old and torn,
You piss him by unnoticed,
Or look at him In scom,
1t is the unganishcd truth
You know It Is the truth!

An M. P. Taken in and Done For


g5sG There is no better or more favorsbly
~ known Captain of the New York Police
than Captain Cameron, who holds the po.
lice reins in, the Eighteenth Precinct. In
this ward is Thorps Union Square Hotel.
~ This house has long been known as the
'S' headquarters of that impetuous and irasci.
~ BILE body of juvenile Democratic politicians,
the Yonng Mems Democratic Union Club.
90, '.s, Last Sunday, it will be remembered,
was the second Sabbath an attempt was
"a made to enforce observance of the Sunday
law. Capt. Cameron stood ready to obey
!, the injunction of the Commissioners. He is
= not man who waits for opportunities. He
lies in ambush for them, and boldly en-
eompasses them. 1t was lis impression the
law was disregarded at Thorp's Hotel, and
r he sent detective officer TO investigate,
dressed in citizens clothes The officer
went to the hotel, walked into the bar-room,
and sauutered leisurely up to the bar.
o. 'sCold morning" he said, addressing the
bar:keeper, and briskly rubbing his hands,
as those are apt to do whose digits are suf-
fering from absence of caloric.
s'''S avery" the bar-keeper laconically re-
aspondsd. -. ..
- 80 siCan you fix me nice hot drink ?"
g "Certainly; what will you have ?"
GA whiskey punch"
. - The bar-keeper was suspicious. He gave
no token of suspicion, however, but in a
moment he had some sugar, lemon peel and
twhiskey.colored fluid in the bottom of a
tumbler. On the stove was tin kettle of
hot water. Turning the faucet, he filled
the tumbler The toddy-stick did its work
of mixture, and the drink was ready. The
stranger put it to his lips, took swallow,
spit, again took swallow, and again spit
"Bad whiskey," he exclaimed.
L.. "How 50 p asked be of the toddy.stick
YEA "No matter, you are my prisoner" was
the response. l have caught you selling
liquor in violation of the Sunday law Put
on your hat and coat; you must go to the
station house"
&, The bar-keeper did go to the station
house. Captain Cameron was at the desk.
AS proof, the officer took the drink along.
He placed the hot affidavit to the violation
of the Sunday law. The bar,keeper con
fessed furnishing the drink To make as
surance doubly sure, the Captain took
swallow. He spit, took a second swallow,
spit again-took fresh sip and again spit.
= "Are you afraid to drink it down ?" ask
ed the prisoner.
"Bad whiskey," answered the captain.
-@"It is worse than Jersey lightning"
d. 'sIt ought to be-" said the arrested bar
, keeper. "Nou hare Jeen lrinkiny CAM
phene" ...
The detective saw he had been Sold
The expression of Captain Cameron was
! that Of a man feeling uneasy about the dia-
praghm. Detective looked daggers. Bar
keeper looked mild as May morning. He
was not detained. His name, arrest, and
the name of the officer arrestipg him, are
on the police blotter, and there they re-
