Falstatfan jokist, the Fat Contributor.
Il has been told before, but should
like TO repeat it, stripping the story
from the ialsahoods by which it was
formerly embellished.'
One evening Twain and Girls found
themselves together at the Sherman
House, in Chicago, 3. F. (be;ore the
fire.
Drifting about in search Of the pic
turesque, they followed the human
stream, till 60 wear the metaphor
thread bare) they stranded on a bar.
Mr.. Cough was staying at the house
at the time, and being unwell, had re-
tired early a bright idea struck
Twain's restless mind. Let s send him
up cocktail !"
Idea voted good and acted upon.
Waiter arrived at Mr. Coughs room !:
Some mistake; never touch liquor.
Waiter positive; Mr.. Cough more So
On the way down it occurred to the
darkey that it was pity the cocktail
should he wasted 50 he drank it, and
reported "all right" at the bar. Twain
and Grs, intensely delighted, thought
they had caught the lecturer mapping.
Lets send him up another" said GrJs
Same result; cocktail recepted home 10y

Mr.. Cough entered the bar-room, ap-
preached our heroes, and said:

made the victim Of some practical joke,
! followed the waiter down, and saw
him drink the liquor that | suppose you
thought | had used You will please
refrain from sending any more UP, as
have not felt the need ofsuch drinks ior
years
When the subject is brought up now
to Twain, he says the Fat Contributor
retired within himself like a creased
telescope but further says that he

E,rnrnn tho NnrU York World.

From the New York world
There is no necessity fora clergyman
giving private interviews to female
parishioners or other women, either In
the vestry OF his church, his study at
home, or any other place. If he had a
reasonable sense OF delicacy, ne would
never DO it under any circumstances.
Private conferences with unattended
women in the solitude OF a church odl'
flee, vestrv, or library, are inexcusable
acts If imprudence. The conscious
rectitude of bis own intentions can not
justify them, for he has no right 10 eX-
pose either himself or his sacred profes.
sion to the license Of evil tongues.
Moreover, he should djstrust the
prudence, if not the innocence, OF a
woman so wanting in the instructive
deicacv and sensitive honor which
beautifv her sex, as TO seek interviews
with him alone, unaCcompanied by any
friend. He never need receive female
calls except at home. If he is mar,
ried, the presence Of his wife would
protect both parties; and it is not easy
TO conceive what pure woman could
wish to say to her pastor which she
ought 10 shrink from divulging to his
wife. If the clergyman is unmarried,
he, OF course, boards in some respec'a-
ble house, aud should receive an un-
attended female visitor not in his own
room, but in the oIcH parIor OF the
family, regretting the simplicity, when
he does not ds,rust the innocence, OF
women who call to see him without
an attendant
