An Anecdote of Booth.

The elder Booth, or Richard III,
Booth" as be was not improperly desig-
mated. was at times the victim of strange
fancies. He had as many peculiarities
in this way as Horace Greely. At GER
tain time Booth took the fancy to be an
absolute vegetarian. During the excess
of this feeling. he was travelling on a
Western river steamboat. and happened
to be placed at table opposite solemn,
straight faced Quaker, who had been
singuarly attracted by the splendid ap
pearance and eloquent conversation of
the great actor. The benevolent old
Quaker, observing the lack of viands in
Booths plate, kindly said:
"Friend, shall l not help thee to the
breast of this chicken p
"No, l thank You, friend" replied the
actor.
"Then shall I not cut thee slice of
the ham 7"
mo, friend, not any"
Then thee must take piece Of the
mutton. Thy plate is empty" persisted
the good old broa1brim.
Friend" said Booth, in those deep
stentorian tones, whose volume and won
derful power had so often electrified au-
diences composed Of the best and wisest
of the nation friend never eat any
flesh but HUMAN flesh. and prefer that
RAw!"
Speechless was the old Quaker. and
his seat was changed to another table at
the next meal.

SCENES IN A RAILWAY CAR.

The Latest and Most Startling Fish Story
-Unfounded Charges Against Respect
able Elderly Gentlemen.
The latest fish story comes from New
jersey. Lately in the interior Of that
State. mild-looking countryman entered
a railroad car. bearing q bundle tied up
in handkerchief, which he placed un-
der his seat at the end of the car. After
travelling along for about half an hour. a
lady sitting in front Of the country yman
was observed to move uneasily in her
seat, and to cast savage glances at a
seemingly respectable man sitting BY her
side. .-....
In few moments afterwards another
lady, still further to the front. "became
uneasy" and at last, rising in her seat,
requested that some gentleman in the car
would protect her from an elderly looking
gentleman by her side, and who she sta
ted had insulted her.
A dozen persons offered their assist
ance, and before the accused could speak
in his own defence his hat was jammed
over his eyes, and he was dragged to the
rear Of the ear.
While there. and carrying on with the
avengers a war Of words as to what the
iudignity meant, still another lady rose,
also seated further up the car, and &C.
cused q gentleman sitting behind her
with improper conduct A rush waa

gentleman vigorously defended himself

seat with the samel, and while the strug-

somebody in the front of the car shouted
"here's a snake on the floor" A scene
then ensued. The ladies in the car clam
bered up on :he seats, and many got on
the arms and backs Of the same. One
elderly maiden managed to stand on the
backs of two seats, in the best circus
manner possible under the circumstances,
while a young mother threw her baby in
to a parcel-rack, and then hung convul-
sively to a ventilator.
The confusion awoke the countryman,

WHEN WILL THE END CONE.

By o. W. HOLMES.
When legislators keep the law,
When banks dispense with doors and locks
When berries. whortle, rasp and straw,
Grow bigger downward through the box
When be that selleth house and land
Shows leak in roof or fsw in right;
When haberda.hers choose the stand
Whose window has the bro.dest light;
When preachers tell US all they think.
And party leaders all they mean;
When what We pay for, what We drink,
From real grape and cofee-besn;
When lawyers take what they would give.
And doctors give what they would take;
When city fathers eat to live,
Save when they fast for conscience sake;
When one that hath . horse on sale
Shall bring his merit to the proof,
Without lie for every nail
That holds the iron on his hoof;
When in the usual place for rips
Our gloves are stitched with special care,
And guarded we'll with whsleboue tips,
When first umbrellas need repair;
When Cuba's weeds have quite forgot
The power Of suction to resist,
And claret bottles hsrbor not
Such dimples as would hold your fist;
When publishers no longer steal.
And pay for what they stole before;
When the first locomotive wheel
Rolls through the Atlantic tunnels bore
Till then let Cumming blaze away,
And Miller's saints blow up the globe;
But when you see that blessed day,
Then order your ascoution robe.

A WOEFUL TALE.

A North German paper receives direct.
ly from relative Of the young Han
overian officer in question the following
touching recital; The company to which
the young officer belonged captured
,wenty-6 Fran cs-tireurs, and, upon in
quiring at headquarters as to their dis
posal, received orders that they be i'm
mediately shot. The duty devolved up
on him. The young man, though no
coward, he.itated in the execution of
such terrible duty bat in order not to
appear too weak he repressed bis feelings
and had them conducted to a neighbor-
ing wood, where. upon little elevation,
they were to meet their fate. Among
them was a youth of hardly eighteen
years, with a gentle and almost maiden
like face, in which culture was plainly
to be traced. This poor unfortunate had
not the courage to die. He trembled in
all his body, and stream OF tears coursed
down bis deathly pale cheeks. Sudden
ly fear seized him in terrible way. and
before the guard could prevent him be
had thrown bimself a: the feet Of the
German Officer, and convulsively clasp
ed his knees and begged in unutterable
woe for his life. Fear gave him most
touching words Of prayer. he besought
the deeply grieved officer by his own pa
rents not to rob his of their only son -
1t would have moved q stone. The
heart of the young German swan in
tears; still he dared not disobey his
military duty. 1t was the most fearful
moment of his life. The youth was led
back to the fatal spot, and in another
moment his misery was at an end-the balls
had riddled his heart. The feeling Of
pity however, so overcame the young
German that he fell into a swoon. He
awoke a mailman, and is today in an
asylum in Germany.

The New Departure.

Gen. Noyes, in his opening speech in
the Ohio campaign thus summed up the
record of the Republican party:
And now to sum up what the Republi
can party has done in the last ten wears.
1t has fought to successful issue four
years bloody war, and preserved the in
tegrity Of the country it has given free
dom, citizenship and suffrage to four mil
lions of people; it hasIlargely paid the pub
lie debt and reduced the burdens of taxa
ton it has.provided for the safety Of per-
sons and of property in all sections of the
United States it has faithfully collected
the public revenues and has honestly APP
piled them; it has furnished pensions and
asylums for our disabled soldiers; it has
settled all troubles with foreign nations it
has adopted successful policy with the
Indians it has inaugurated civil service
reform it has, in word, established peace
and promoted prosperity at home, and
maintained the public credit before all the
nations of the earth. All this, substan-
tally, the new departure democrats in
Ohio, Maine, Kentucky and Pennsylvania
admit. Their platforms recognize the good
things which have been accomplished by
the party in power, and , by necessary inn
plication, confess their errors and short
comings. Yet they ask us, by our silence
and our forgetfulness, to shield them from
the consequences of their own misdeeds
and place them in authority, for no given
reason, except that they have been wrong
and we right all the time, and they have
now come to see it. The country will put
them on probation frst-the more espe-
cially because serious doubt is entertained
as to their sincerity now. We do not be-
lieve the democrats entertain any other
political opinions than they held six
months ago

Light BrahmaS.

a correspondent of the Farmers Home
Journal thus relates his experience with
the Light Brahma chickens .'.-- '''
"After several years trial of the Light
Brahmas, and most careful comparison Of
them with other meritorious breeds, am
convinced that they are as decidedly the
fowl for our farm yards as the ShOrt-horns
are the cattle for our pastures. TheBrahmas
are large fowl, and a rapidly-maturing
one. In two months from Matching they
are ready for the table if they are well at
tended to. They are hardy, standing much
better than common breeds the cold months
of spring, when chicks, and the rigors of
winter when grown. Brahma poultry COM
mence laying generally when five or six
months old, and lay large number of rich,
good-sized eggs. They are peculiarly a
winter-laying fowl, and will give us fresh
eggs in the worst winter weather, if permit
ted, by giving them food and house that
is comfortable. These chickens are quite
gentle for domestics-make excellent moth
ers. Their flesh is not strong, but solid and
Juicy. They eat no more food than the
common variety, and are as large again.
They lay much greater number of eggs
than the common fowl, and much larger
and more palatable egg. There are other
varieties as good layers, as good table fowls,
as domestic, as large as these, but there are
none that can bring size, beauty, tablequal-
tiles, productiveness and docility in such an
eminent degree. Those that produce as
many eggs, are non-setters; those that sur
pass them in table qualities are not so large
nor SO prolific layers. So with the other
breeds. The Dark Brahmas are the only
rivals Of the Light Brahmas These two
species differ very little, save in plumage,
and in this respect the Light Brahmas have
the advantage. We repeat. the pure-bred
our farmers can raise. If they will supply
themselves with them, and give them the
benefit of comfortable home and COM
potency in food, they will soon discover
that to keep chickens pays WELL"
