UNCLE JosH's BEAR SToRY.-A Jewish
missionary was once making inquiries in
Russia about the method of catching bears
in that country. His informant told him
that to entrap these formidable and raven
Gus creatures, pit was dug several f8eff
deep; and after covering it over with tHrf,
leaves, etc., some food was placed onNthe
top The bears, if tempted by the Bait,
easily fell into the snare, "but," he ahded,
'if four or five happen to get in together,
they viii manage to get out again.%
GLOW is that2" asked the missionary.
''They form sort of ladder by stepping
on each others shoulders, and thus make
their escape"
''But how does the bottom one get out p
asked the missionary.
'tAh these bears, though not possessing
mind and soul such as God has endowed
us with, yet can feel gratitude; and they
won. forget the one who has been the chief
means of procuring their liberty. Scamper-
ing off, they fetch branch of tree, which
tney let down to their poor br, ther, ena-
bhng uim speedily to join them III freedom
in which they rejoice.
Sensible bears, we should say, and a
great deal better than some man we hear
about, who never help anybody but them
selves.

4 PRACTICAL JOKE AND IT'S RESULT. The
San Francisco Golden City relates an anu
sing adventure which recently befell a res
ident of that city, whom they call Jones for
convenience sake. He was an eccentric
individual, and his fellow-workmen in the
mandatory where he was employed sought
to indulge In a little fun at his expense,
and succeeded in getting letter mailed at
New York addressed to him, stating that,
by the death of distant relative in Eng
land, he had fallen heir to the sum Of S5U,-
900, aud that solicitor had come. over to
New York to hunt him up. Jones received
the letter, and spoke of 1t in good faith, to
his fun-loving companions, who gravely
urged him to write to q prominent
lawyer in New York, stating his
case and asking the legal gentleman
to see about it. Jones was foolish
enough to take his advice In due time
much to the astonishment of his associates
he received a genuine letter from the
lawyer, who, by one of the prettiest cOlncl
dences IN the world, happened to be at that
time engaged in looking up person of ex.
actly the same name as our Mr.. Jones, who
was entitled by the will of an English gen
tleman who died few years ago, to the
sum of not $50, 600 exactly, but the sum Of
e4, 500 sterling, or about $4,000 Jones
happened to be the very mar himself, and
he Immediately left his work in state OF
high excitement, took trip to New York,
and had no difficulty in proving his iden-
tity and establishing his claim. He re-
turned to San Francisco few days since
with funds amounting to S18, 900 Expenses
having been deducted from the original
suml, which might never have found him
bat for the disposition OF his comrades TO
practical joking.

Street Life in San Francisco.

The street life nf San Francisco presents
an epitOme Of all humanity. Well nigh
every nation on earth has its representa-
tive III the craAded thoroHghfares. The
Yankee predominates. Next, perhaps,
comes the busy, thriving German. The
Jews are numerous, wealthy and respecta-
bic, and their names are over the porches
Of some of the most solid mercantile
houses in the city You know the Eng
lishman by his clean chin and upper lip,
and his well balanced side-whisker, his
regulation stOve-pipe, and tle unyielding
straight orwardness of his walk, as though
he expected all creation to turn out for
him. They don't do it there though.
The French have their churches, and their
small hopes of universal artizanship.
Swinging his two heavy laden baskets
Fl m the stout ban boo-st1ck across his
shoulders, the swarthy Celestia sidles
by you at gait half between a
walk and a trot. The Celtic element is
large. staggering, and especially hostile to
every biped with queue at his back. Cal
ifornia is, or rather has been, the paradise
of BldJy. They get large wages-from
525 to $50 n month-and rule with strong
hand in the domestic bureau. Ibeir scep-
ter, however, latterly, is q little shaken,
many households preferring Chinese SER
wants. And these are but part of our
heterogeneous swarm SWedes, Norwegi-
ans, Italians. Portuguese, Sandwich Island
ers, with here and there a sleek-headed In
dian, help to make up the population. The
Negro portion is orderly and industrious,
especially so, worshipping in churches of
their own, ard maintaining fraternities of
their own blood that on gala days turn out
in large numbers and festive display. If
''the coming man. is to be an amalgam of
all the races, we have the materials to con-
struct this rather slow-paced gentleman at
the shortest notice.
The feminine element in the daily throng
is greatly diversified in features and cos
tune. Here is the superb beauty. There
flashes upon you the .lustre of dark He
brew eyes. Here is the square, honest,
frank German face; and many fair. deli
cate cOUntenance and dainty form announce
the daughters of our Northern and Eastern
homes, and carry our thoughts to the
scenes and fellowship left behind. Our
ladies dress for the street very much as
they find it convenient There is no COM
mon standard-no general law-no sharp
transitions of the seasons to
demand an adapted wardrobe. One whose
| brightest outfit is muslin puts that on
every month in the year and suffers no
discomfort Another endowed with velvet
feels that is most suitable For the same
reason third gathers around her cloak
of the sable On the same side of the
street, the same day, at the same hour CT
the day, you will find all three walking
with the same apparent consciousness OF
adaptation to the seasons; no shiver under
the muslin, no oppression under the fur.
And yet in no city of the land does the sex
indulge in richer, more elaborate and more
fashionable array.-Tbe ReU. A. Z. Stone.
