rhn Lniasl HoleI Joke.

For the past eight or ten days "goaks
have been freely exchanged between the
proprietors Of two OF our largest hotels,
but about the best Of the season was per
petrated last Wednesday night. The
proprietor of the Big Hotel in the Mid
die Of the Block accompanied by
! friend, rushed frantically toward the
Little Hotel Around the Corner" Reach
ing that edifce without accident or
detention, he and his friend entered in a
state Of breathless anxiety and inquired
Of the clerk If he had any spare rooms,
telling him at the same time that he was
so crowded with guests that he had been
compelled to give ur his private apart.
ments, and that his friend, through
respect and sympathy, had also given up
his to a guest.
The clerk was confounded, confused,
startled, astounded, surprised, and last,
though. not least, completely overcome
with embarrassment. He stood for some
moments gazing upon the proprietor OF
the Big Hotel in the Middle. of the
Block in a state Of amazement. At
length he began to inhale the odor aris-
ing from a very diminutlve quadruped OF
the genus Mus. He came 70 himself,
picked up his pen, and with that smile
so childlike and bland, for which hotel
clerks are proverbial, he answered po-
litely and rapidly, as if attempting TO
catch up with the time lost in bewilder-
ment:
OH yes, certainly, certainly, plenty
Of room, sir, for yourself and friendi
please register your names.
The names of the two gentlemen we're
quickly registered, and the book turned
over to the clerk. The clerk glanced
over the names, and, seizing the pen, in-
dited, on the same page and opposite to
the names Of the two gents, these mys-
terious characters: +. +. I. II. Il.
The time had now csme when the two
gents were to stand amazed. They
pored and pondered over these hero
glYphics for some time. Finally, the
gents timidly ventured to ask:
What do these characters stand forr
Well, said the clerk, we are taking
in dodgers upon certain conditions.
What might be those conditionsY'
Questioned the TIVE gents.
Well, remarked the clerk, we have
a rule that we will never take in any
persons who, from appearances, are
afflicted with any contagious disease.
And gentlemen, as you both appear to
be very healthy. have concluded to
take you in. Therefore am compelled
to make the Endorsement you see oupo-
site your names.
But. ah. which, wh-wh-What do these
characters signify"
Wei" replied the clerk, +" ! suppose
you are aware. gentlemen, that there is
an epidemic raging in some Of the
Northern cities, and We have to exercise
great care. Those Eve letters, being in
ferpreted, signify this sentence: Free
From The Horse Epidemic"
The proprietor Of the big hotel and
his friend retired hastily, promising 70
call and take the room at u o'clock that
night They didn't return. -Shrerport

THE WAGES OF SIN.
mnnER

Late French newspapers give the par
ticulars Of sad affair which recently
occurred at Djon. From the statement
OF one OF the principals in the sorrowful
drama we learn the following facts: Ed
ward Darrell, native of Baltimore,
thirty-two years OF age, served with dis
tinction in the late war as a memb9r Of
the Second Maine volunteers. being when
mustered out major by breyet He
then obtained clerkship in the Inferior
Department, which he was compelled to
leave suddenly on account Of trouble
with fallen woman. Darrell i'm ;edi-
ately started for tour Of Europe with
$1,000 in his pocket. Arrived 10 Paris
heh fell among gamblers, who soon
stripped him Of nearly all his money.
Learning that teacher of the English
language was wanted at the Lyceum at
Dion, thither he went, arriving with six
dollars in his pocket He was fortunate
enough to secure the position, the salary
being 1900 francs yer year. He took
lodgings in the house Of widow lady,
Nine Sansure, who had two beautiful
daughters, Annie and Sophie. With the
first named he fell in love, and they soon
became engaged. Being thrown much
into the other sister society, Sophie fell
victim TO his wiles. The two girls dis
covered each other secret, and resolved,
when they knew the whole truth, to com
nit suicide. They procured some Span
ish green and poisoned themselves.
They were found on their bed in their
apartment, locked in firm embrace.
Their countenances were sweet and un-
rufaed, their appearance being more that
Of peaceful sleep than of death from a
terrible poison. They left the following
notes to their parents: uo
"DEAR MOTHER Edward has betrayed
me. He loved Sophia better than me
ANNIE" |
MAMA: You must not cry over me.
| have beeA wicked, and | had no longer
right to live. Do not blame himl
ita-se "SoPHIE."
Darrell was frantic when he diseov-
cred the fate of his beautiful victims
He was arrested, and behaved so like q
madman thatthe officers were compelled
to put him in a straight jacket The
criminal Judge of the department inves.
tigated the terrible affair, but he came
to the conclusion that he had no right
to no Darrell. The latter was sent to
Paris, where he is now confined in a

An Adventurous Salt Lake Girl.
From the Salt Lake Herald.l
Ir this city lives young lady who is
seemingly delicate, but although petite
in form and figure is abundautly en-
dowed with nerve and energy. Fsnd TO
a passion of the grand in nature, she has
scaled on foot the highest peaks of the
Cottonwoods aud explored the deepest
recesses of cayernous mines We have
known her on several occasions, when
prospecting on foot with staff in hand
the tall peaks Of the Wasatch, to compel
her male escort first to cry halt Our
fair prospectress being at Alta day or
two since, saw for the first time in ope
ration the wire Suspension tramWay just
completed by the Vallejo company, and
her masculine escort proposed to her in
jest to take ride up the wire cable to
the mine.
She promptly accepted the invitation,
when our male friend growing a little
nervous, suggested difficulties in the way
Of the trip, but failed to dissuade her
from attempting it. The tramway is
1880 feet long, rises at an angle Of about
twenty degrees, and the cable is sus-
pended on stanchions forty feet high.
There we're no other carriages than ore
buckets, and in one Of these, which are
suspended six feet below the cable, our
heroine, uudaunted and alone, took pas
sage and made the ascent without mis-
hap or serious inconvenience, although
the swaying OF the wire between the
stanchions is calculated to produce sea
sickness. Quite a crowd gathered, and
to those at distance, to whom the wire
was invisible, it appeared as if our fair
friend was sailing through mid-sir.

THE GRAVE.


The grave, all still and shadowy. lies
Benegth its hsllowed ground;
And dark the mist to human eyesrelT
That float TO precincts round.
No music Of tho grove invades
That dark and weary wayi
And fast the votive howret fades 1
"a Upon its heaving clay.
And vain the tear in beauty's eye,
The orphans groan in vain
No sound of clamOr0us agony
Shall pierce its gloomy reign.
Yet that oblivion OF the tomb 49,
Shall suffering Man desire,
And thr ough that shadowy gate Of gloom,
The weary Soul retire.
The bark by ceaseless storms oppressed.
Runs madly TO the shore;
And there the grief-worn heart shall rest
There. where II beats no more.

AWAITING Events

It is a pity that so many able journals should
wear out their time and their readers pa
thence, threshing the air. Here is one, insist
ing that the Democratic party must now be
straightway revived in its integrity. Here IS
another, declaring that the union of the Lib
eral Republicans and the Democrats is mar
rage for better or worse, till death do them
part Here is third, clamoTOus for free trade,
or at the very least, revenue reform, as inc
great focal idea, about which is to begin q
new party capitalization. Would it not be as
well to remember that parties are not manu-
featured, by politicians out Of employment
but grow from the wants of the day
And the want of to-day is quiet The pub
lie mind is not unnaturally weary OF inces-
SAINT demands for reform and exposures OF
corruption. No good is going to come OF
forcing further discussion out of season. 1t
will come up in season soon enough-only too
soon, we fear, unless the approaching session
of Congress proves an exception to all that
have of late years preceded it, But just now,
the politician who insists on demanding OF
weared public, which, satisfied or Disguised,
has acquiesced in the popular decision, fresh
attention to new lines of political attack, mis-
takes the time and the popular temper, and
hinders the cause he would help. Cen.
Grant has just received new lease of power.
Let him have time to show what he is going
to do with it. When he goes wrong, attack
him. While he does right, sustain the Presi-
dent of forty millions. If he places moro un-
fit men in Office, give him the same censure
with which, of late he has been justly visited.
Tr oh
Their countenance, the men who have censured
him ought TO be the frst-if they have the
good of the country rather than partisan adj
vantage at heart-to recognize and encourage
the reform.
The grievances which the Cincinnati Con-
vention recited were real grievances. One Of
them, the refusal of Amnesty, was largely
remedied, almost before the delegates had
reached their homes Others the Philadelphia
Convention literally promised to reform
and, since the election, we have seen will
ingness to make the promise good in at least
one conspicuous instance, in the Civil Service.
To the Liberal Republican movement both
gains may fairly be credited. So long as
the leaders of that movement contented
themselves with protests, little seemed
to come of it. When they organized
open opposition, the Administration men hast
ened to confer Amnesty, and to reproduce in
their promises the essential demands of the
Cincinnati platform. IL these promises are
kept, we shall be the last to complain that
opposition has succeeded in extorting what
support and appeal could not win. We well
coined adoption of our principles, and aban-
donment of the old hostility to the results of
the war, by the Democracy. With equal glad
ness, we shall welcome any step which the
Administration may take in the way of effect
ing the reforms we have demanded.

HENS.

Society does not appreciate its obligations to
the hen until the general well-being of that
useful biped is put in peril. Normally the hen
is robust bird which needs no demulcent

pungentipurgative powder like the bilious OK,
but survives vigorously without any dietetic
cOddling whatsoever 1t endures with equm
mind all yicissitudes of climate. Without re-
gard to the state of the weather it deposits its
punctual diurnal egg, and caekles about it
with sober exultation afterward. In its in

and yirulent malady known rs pip; but in its
maturity it is creature of iron constitu-
ton, consuming pebble-stones without visible
emotion, and rarely dying, except to pamper
the gluttony of the passing evening owl, or
meet the human requirements of holiday pot
pie. Dickens says that nobody ever saw a
dead donkey or a dead post-boy; and the
spectacle of a hen voluntarily deceased is
almost as rare.

TILE FINDING ACT.


The Kings County Board of Supervisors
have resolved unanimously to refuse to coll
lect the three-and- half mills State tax
contingently levied by the Legislature to sup
ply tho deficiencies of the State Treasury.
They have done this without waiting to ascer-
tain whether the supplementary act authOriz-
ing an issue OF bonds in lieu Of tho tax has
received majority of the votes cast for and
against it. Supervisor Johnson, upon whose
report this extraordinary action was taken,
asserted upon what authority we are
az a loss to imagine, that the people
of the State had expressed their
"will to fund the canal debt by an unprece-
"dented majority" This, however, is very far
from the truth. Having availed ourselves of
every resource at our command, we have been
able to collect the returns from only "a of the
60 counties of the State upon this question,
and we find a majority of only $500 in favor
of funding. OF the 80 counties, IA have voted
in favor Of funding, IA have voted against,
aud are equally divided. Take out the
County of st. Lawrence, and the majority is
against the Funding bill. The County of
0nondaga alone gives moro than 1000 ma
jority against funding. 1t is certainly very
doubtful whether the people have expressed a
wish to mortgage the State to raise money
TO pay current expenses.
As to the Constitutional question, few who
read sections 1O,i1l, and 10 of Article VII. of
the State Constitution will doubt that tho
Funding bill is Of doubtful constitutionality.
