To Tell an Honest Man.

A letter writer says: 9Talking
with a hotel keeper the other
day, / remarked that in a large
city like this he must lose a
good deal by transient customers
who would go away and forget
to pay their bills. ooh, no; I
never lose much by folks of
that sort. I have made it rule
in my house, whenever a man
wants a room, and has no bag
gage, to demand pay in advance,
as is usual. If he manifests no
objection, and puts his hand in
to his pocket for the money l tell
him it is all right, he can pay
just as well when he goes away.
That kind of a man always pay.
But there is another sort of fell
low who when informed of the
rule, pretends to be very indig-
nant, insisting that he is a gen
teman, by, and is not in the
habit of having his name ques-
toned or his honesty doubted.
In such a case I invariably insist
on the production of the funds,
for I know if I don't get them
then I should never get them in
the world. Men who talk about
their honor, and assume to be in
suited when requested to pay,
can be depended on for the first
class dead BEATS"

That's a Man

3ajAn illinois farmer had a neigh
bOrr across the Wabash in Indi
ana, who was keeping pauper OF
contract at his house. In the
corn'hoeing season, the Illinois
man sometimes borrowed his
nelghbor's pauper to help in the
corn field. Bill Turner had the
panper working for him one day,
and as no one in the neighborhood
had ever seen pauper they were
anxious to get peep at him.
Consequently some twenty of them
: Joined together one day, armed
with shot gnns and rifles, and pro-
ceeded to Turner's to see the
strange creature. They cautious
ly got over the fence, and came up
to where the men were working.
"Blll," said Silas Brown, their
spokesman, ''we heard that you've
got a pauper working for you, and
we'd like to see it." Im .-.
ri Bill therenpon pointed out the
object of their curiosity. Th4 visi-

pauper, and silently surveyed him
from every point of view. At

An occupationpursuedin in var
ious parts of Texas, and peculi-
ar to that State, is the business
generally known as seattle skin
ming" A few daring fellows
will band together and scour the
country at all hours for the pur-
pose of "skinning" any luckless
steer that may be found out Of
sight Of his owner. They drive
them off sometimes in the brush
or a ravine, shoot them down,
jerk their hides-off, and leave
the carcasses for the wolves and
buzzards. This has become a
real science in Texas, and many
are making money at the bust
ness. The hide of a good steer
will bring Sc, and as it is all clear
money it is bound to pay. Eff
forts are being constantly made
to catch these "skinnists," but
they are so sharp, they always
.elude capture. This is branch
of the cattle trade with which
the people Of other States are
not generally acquainted, but
as the old man said to his son,
'fit shows what energy and per-
severance can accomplish"

VOL. XX---NO. Is
Posthumous Hate.

Humphrey Jewell, who liveG
near Kingston, New York, was a
very eccentric man all his life, and
he died month ago at the age oil
sixty years. He left behind him
the most eccentric act of his life In
the shape Of a will which he exc.
cuted the day before his death.
He was formerly a New York as
semblyman, was a strict church
member, had about $4,000 worth
Of property, and cherished a fsmi-
Iy feud which was more dear to
him than legislative honors,
church, money or family. While
he was rigidly religious, be was
also good hater, and the source of
his most cherished hate was in re-
ligious matters. He was president
OF a Church Consistory, and presi
ded at the disciplining of his sons
wife's father, who was turned out
of the fold of the faithful during
his administration. The man sub
sequently got back into the church,
and this 30 incensed the good
Humphrey Jewell that it became
his religious duty to hate his ene-
my till his own death, and after,
in the provisions of his will.
For instance, be leaves his son
and son-in. law of his pet enemy
the income Of 5000, upon condi.
tion that said son will Lever live
in the same county with his wife's
father: otherwise he becomes dis
Inherited. He left bis widow a
pittance, and the remainder Of bis
estate to various charities. The
son and father-in- law first thought
Of carrying out the provisions Of
the will in which they were inter
ested by building a house across
a eounty line-the son TO occupy
one end Of the house, aud the
faiher-in-law the other. This
would save the Inheritance, and
still make them near neighbors, in
two counties. The second thought
induced them to endeavor TO st t
aside the will on the ground that
the testator was not of sound mind
when he made it. They could
not very well dispute the strength
of his memory in the face Of the
family feud. The case is now be-
fore the Courts in Kingston.

Intelligent Hens.

A correspondent Of the Bruins.
wick, Me-, Telegraph relates the
following: A hen and large flock
.ot chickens were in the habit Of
coming round our north back
door, and were rather troublesome.
One day Miss B. put out a favor
tie cat, saying, "There, Julia, if
you can catch one of these chick
ems you shall have the whole of it. "
No sooner said than done-the
chicken was caught and eaten
The hen came as usual next day
with her chickens, but never at-
ter that did she come without the
company of another hen, who in
varlably took her position between
the hen and chickens and the
house door, and marched like a
faithful sentinel back and forth in
the space. If the cat made her
appearance she would fly at her
aud drive her away with such
vigor that the cat was glad to run.
Julia never got another of those
chickens. Now, how did this
mother hep communicate and
make the other hen comprehend
her loss and the services she re.
qpired? This is a simple fact.

LoHNsoN WITH A GLASS EYE.

JOHNSON WITH A GLASS Eye
Here is a singular story of coin.i,
Idences. Thedetectives OF, Boston,
in a case given to them to work
up, wanted a man named W. Il.
johnson, who bad a glass eye.
They found such a person in Ban,
gor, Me-, and he was the wrong
gentleman. They found another
W. FL. Johnson in Salem, Mass,
also with glass eye, and he TOO
proved to be an innocept man.
They then received a telegram
from Newhuryport, Mass, stating
that W. FL. johnson with glass
eye had been arrested, there; and
he likewise proved to be the wrong
customer. There is fourth w. II.
Johnson, with a glass eye. some
where, and the Boston authorities
would like to have him; that is,
unless he happens to be the wrong
W. 81. johnson with glass eye.
