A Popular Superstition.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post writes as follows =" 1t is
queer how much superstition still fingers
in the best and of course most cultivated
society. That as to having thirteen at
table is probably the most widespread and
generally received. Not long since at
fashionable dinner-party here, gentleman
appearing without his wife who had been
expected until the last moment, made the
thirteenth guest, and SO was politely but
decidedly invited by the hostess to return
home and come back after dinner. This
he did most amiably. In another case
guest failing to appear at a dinner, leaving
the ominous number to be seated at table,
the hostess brought in one Of her children
rather than have thirteen. A singular
verification of the fears the superstition
provokes, was that of the death Of William
S. Huntington, cashier of the first National
Bank of this city, which occurred fort
night since. AT his funeral, which was
largely attended by prominent citizens, one
gentlemen said to another, "Pm surprised
to see you here, thought you had been in
Washington so short a time that you didn't
know Huntingdon "Oh, yes, returned
the other don't you remember met him
at dinner party at George Alfred Town
sends? 1t was rather memorable dinner,
for you recollect there were sixteen invited
and only thirteen at table. While we were
dining, it was remarked that the fatal
number was present, and we discussed
which of us would probably die before the
year was out. remember thought l
was the most likely subject, and am so
much obliged to Huntington for taking my
place. that came to his funeral Mr..
Huntington was probably the youngest
man present at that dinner, yet he was the
first to die"

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1879, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until a full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled
As body of men, believe they are supe-
rier Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud !!
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public, that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is a well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Secretary of Pennsylvania Central Insur-
ance Company. 16

Sunday School windows, Buck Fanshaw,
all of his own notion, shut up his saloon and
took couple of sixshooters and mounted
guard over the Sunday y-school. Says he
"No Irish need apply p And they didn't.
He was the bulliest man in the mountains,
pard: he could run faster, jump higher hit
harder, and hold more tangle-foot whiskey
without spilling than any man in seventeen
counties. Put that in, pard; it'll please
the boys more than anything you could say.
And you can say, pard, that he never shook
his MOTHER
"Never shook his mother 2?
"Thats it any of the boys will tell you
so."
"Well, but why should he shake herP
"That's what say-but some people
does"
Not people of any repute?"
Well, some that averages pretty-so-so."
" In my opinion, man that would offer
personal violence to his mother ought to-"
"Cheese it, pard; you've banked your
ball clean outside the string. What was
drivin' at was that he never Mr0Wod off his
mother-don't you see? No, indeedy.
He gave her house to live in, and two
lots, and plenty of money; and he looked
after her and took care of all the time; and
when she was down with tho smallpox,
I'm d--d if he didn't set up nights
and nuss her himself. Beg your pardon
for sayin it, but it hoped out too quick for
yours truly. You've treated me like gen.
tleman, and l amt the man to hurt your
feelings Intentionally. / think you're
white. think you're square man, pard.

I'll lick him till he can't tell himself from
last years corpse Put in there An
other fraternal handshake and exit.
The obsequies were all that "thc boys''
could desire. Such a marvel of funeral
pomp had never been seen in Virginia.
The plumed heaise, the breathing
brass-bands, the closed marts of business,
the flags dropping at half mast, the long
plodding procession of uniformed secret So
cieties, military battalions, and fire COM
panies, draped engines, carriages of officials
and citizens in vehicles and on foot, at
tracted multitudes Of spectators to the
Sidewalks, roofs and windows for years
afterward, the degree Of grandeur attained
by any civic display in Virginia was de-
termined by comparison with Buck Fam
shaw's funeral.

SalIie's Proposal

ELI PERKINS has undergone matri-
H. monial proposals at the hands of one
of his lady friends and he has this to say
about it
First | called on my liquid eye brunette
friend Miss Sallie Morris of Madison
avenue. Now I've spent good deal of
money on Miss Sallie for operas, boquets,
Delmonico lunches, etc., I've been trying
for two years to win her affections.
Last night, full of love and hope l rang
old Norris door bell. In a moment Miss
Sallie was by myself on the retired sofa.
After speaking to her of the coming opera
1 felt her velvet hand touch mine.
''Do you know, Mr.. Perkins, she said
looking me straight in the face, "that to-
day is our proposing day?"
swell l suppose So" remarked, look
ing modestly down on her mosaic bracelet.
Well, you know, Eli, my dear Eli that
have been out with you good DEAL"
eyes," l replied beginning to fell en-
barrassed. l
"You know my dear, she said, taking both
of my hands, "that it is costing me good
deal for dresses and gloves, and'-
"And costing me good deal for carr-
ages, bouques and Delmonico lunches,''
interrupted with increased embarrassment.
''And while have enjoyed myself all
winter going with you, Eli, ~
"In expensive carriages to the Academy
and Delnonico's,' suggested.
'"Yes, while have been happy to 90
there with you'll feel--I feel-Oh, my
dear Eli, don't know how to say what l
want to p and then the beautiful child hid
her face in my bosom.
"Do not fear for my answer, beautiful
one, said soothingly. "What is it that
weighs upon your sorrowful heart ?"
"Oh Eli, it is love-" she said, sobbing
wildly and twisting her jeweled fingers in
my auburn hair. '' '' q"
"Heaven be praised,"I l sighed as felt
the beating of her heart against my vest.
"For whom is this love, darling ?" asked;
"for you know am deeply interesed in
you" i'2A ''', N
"You will not be mad with inc Eli ?''
"No, sweet one. shall only be too
happy" I said wiping the tears from my
eyes.
"Well, my dear-my long cherished
friend, love"-
"Who dear Sallie, who do you love? ?''
swell, Eli love Charley Brown, to
whom am engaged y and then the scald-
ing tears fell thick and fast on my shirt
bosom.
"Well Sallie, what have you to say TO
me?''I asked, hesitatinig, as loosened
her hands from my neck.
Why my dear Eli, Charley and father
thought that l had better SEQ you and
propose
ooh darling one, am thine ~ said,
with great emotion; stake me as am;

But Eli, let me explain. They wanted
me to see you and thank you for your
manly kindness, and propose that gou don't
come any more !" a4ai,.7s

tB-It is predicted that Lake Erie, now
the pathway of mighty commerce, will in
time dry up and become the home of a
teeming population. Careful surveys have
shown that while Lake Michigan has an
average depth Of 300 feet, Lake Superior
of 900 feet and Lake Ontario of 800 feet,
Lake Erie has an average depth of only 100
feet, which is said to be constantly de-
creasing. The bottom of the lake is quite
level, and composed of soft clay. This
clay is constantly accumulating from sedi-
ment carried down by tributary streams.
The south shore is composed of easily
disintegrating blue, gray and olive shoals
and gray sandstone. The western and
nothern coast are made up of limestone Of
the Heidelberg group, which quickly yields
to the action of the waves. Consequently
both shores constantly are contributing to
fill up the bed of the lake. The work is
not rapid, but it is said to be as certain as
fate.

A Curious puzzle.

their party, saying, that as he could not buv
provisions In that country, If they would per-
NIT him to eat only an equal share with them.
selves, he would willingly pay for the whole.
The frugal meal consisted of eight small
loaves of bread, five of which belonged to one
of the Arabs, and three to the other. The
stranger having eaten third part of the eight
loaves, arose and laid before them eight pieces
of money, saying;-
My friends, there is what promised YOU.
Divide it between you according to your Jus t
rights.'
A dispute arose, of course, respecting di-
vision of the money but reference being
made to the Cadi, he adjudged seven pieces of
money to the owner of the five loaves, and only
one to him who had the three loaves. And vet
the Cadi decided justly.
What was his decision?
