Various Kinds of Customers.

One would naturally suppose that every
person who enters shop is aware of
what he requires. Our experience, how
ever, shows that shopkeepers and shop
men are accustomed to recognize two
classes of customers, those who know
what they want, and those who do not. In
the first is to be found that customer who
is so rare and so perfect that we will call
him the ideal customer. He exists as a
sort of fond dream in the mind of the
shopman, sometimes, but all too seldom,
realized He knows what he wants, and
he knows the price; he asks for it, pays
for it, and takes it away Heaven prosper
him on his way! He is a model to all
customers.
Now if the shopkeeper did not possess
the article required by the ideal customer,
he would inform him so, and the Gus
toner would leave the shop. In this re-
spect, and in this only, he differs from the
Obstinate customer, who, although quite
as clear on his requirements, gives far
more trouble. For he is no sooner in
formed that the article he wishes is not
kept, than he betrays a belief that il Is,
and that only laZiness or lack of under
derstanding prevents his obtaining it. He
therefore institutes little search on his
own account throughout the shop, natur-
ally inflicting annoyance on the feelings
of the shopman.
We will suppose the Obstinate Gus
toner enters chemists shop, and asks
for pair of washing gloves. He is told
that "we do not keep them"
"Don't keep themT he exclaims, gaz
ing keenly around the shop; dear me
that's very awkward What is that pile
of things on the shelf just above your
head there's"
He is told that they are chest-protec
ors.
"Oh, indeed chest.protectors eh? They
wouldn't do then-they-wouldn't do
This is said slowly as the speakers eye
wanders searchingly around the shop
Presently he says again, probably point
ing rudely and ofllciously with his UNI
brella:
"Isn't that pile of things there with the
red borders TO them washing glovesY
think they must bew
They are accordingly taken down and
shown to be something quite different tC
washing gloves. A glimmer of intelli
gence will then, perhaps shine upon him
and he will say, "Well, if you haven't go

something in the window does not attrac
his notice, and bring him back again.
A customer much to be avoided is The
Indiscreet customer. He orders readily
and speedily finds what he wants. Blu
he never thinks about price, and generally
never inquiries until the parcel of goodi
is packed up. II most frequently happens
that the price is three or four times wha
he expected or can afford, and an awkward
dilemma is the result. II generally end
in the parcel being opened, and goods ex

Variable Matrimonial weather.

AN interesting instance of lluctuating
cOnnubial felicity has recently been
forced upon our attention. On Tuesday
morning, a man with wrathful features
came into the office, and laconically or
dered the insertion in the Journal of q
"To Whom it May Concern" forbidding
all persons from harboring or trusting his
wife, etc. He paid the bill as if it was a
pleasure to him. In the afternoon he
came again, looking cheerful this time
and desired the advertisement suppressed
-"as she and have made up" He took
his card and money, and went his way
buoyant and happy. But the next morn
ing he came back once more, saying "IPs
no use, she's got to be posted,p and hand
ing over his papers, disappeared. Before
night he returned, and again withdrew
his advertisement, intimating that this
time the reconciliation was genuine and
everlasting. He did not put in an ap-
pearance the next day, but the day fol-
lowing he walked in, and with an air of
desperation, ordered for the third time
the momentous advertisement to be pub
lished. 1t was put in type, and as the pa.
per was about to 60 to press, nervous,
sharp-featured brighteyed woman of fifty
appeared on the scene, bringing a writ
ing from her husband TO the following

An Extrayagant Mouse.

DURING the week or two past the pro-
prietOr of restaurant on Griswold street
missed more or less money from his till
daily, and was finally compelled to sus-
pect some of the persons in his employ.
Accordingly, on Thursday evening he
marked number Of bills and put them
in the drawer, and walking out of his es-
tablishment by one door entered it by
another, so secretly that no one knew
that he was in the place. He was next
about to hide himself so that he could see
the money drawer and not be seen, but to
satisfy himself that the money had
not been disturbed during his temporary
absence he looked in the drawer, and was
astonished to find that the bills had been
unrolled and scattered over the bottom,
but that none Of them had been removed.
Then he let his angry passions rise, and
loaded his revolver and laid in wait eX-
pecting to capture the thief, who he sup
posed had been hastily driven off while
examining the drawer. He remained at
his post all night and until daylight with
out observing anything, and finally con-
cluded to remove the bills and try SINH
lar experiment some other time. To his
unbounded astonishment, however, he
discovered that some of the bills had been
taken. His hair rose; then he cooled
down and grew madder than ever; then
he cooled down still more, and made an
examination of the drawer Then he
found knothole at the back part. Next
he secured the services Ofa carpenter, and
soon found the nest of a mouse, nicely
lined with bills of various denominations
under the counter. In this place of de-
pOsit he found not only one of the bills
he had marked, but also $31 which had
previously been stolen.-DetrOit Tribune.

How a Danbury Woman Managed.

A HOT tempered Danbury woman who
finds considerable trouble in persuading
her husband to furnish kindlings, and
then is obliged to do it herself, read in a
religious paper, Monday, of how wife
induced wicked husband to become one
of the most aifectionate and hopeful of
men by being invariably calm and loving
with him. The story made deep i'm
preston upon her, and when she started
a fire that noon, she put pair of rubbers
among the wood. Then she tied hand
kerchief across her nose, and went on
reached the gate, he paused, fetched a
sniff that made hole in the atmosphere,
and then went around to the back of the
house and fetched another sniff that had
an equally damaging effect on the atmos-
phere. He stared into the next yard and
up at his own house, and felt in his pock-
cts, and was about to go around to the
front again, when his wife thrust her head
out of the window and said, "Why don't
you come in the house, you old fool I
Come in and get your dinner, and let me
read an article to you from the Christian
Secretary, you old 'rip Come in and see
how nice It is to get dinner with nothing

tol" AT this invitation he went in, going
upon the stoop and to the door very
slowly, but on opening the door, dissap-
peared inside with marvellous sudden
ness. The neighbors say he was cutting
wood all the afternoon, and thinking OF
the religious press.-Ddnbury Neies.

ONE of those people who consider
horses cars as spittoons recently entered a
Boston car, and inadvertently bestowed
his attention upon gentleman's boot No
sooner had the boot felt the indignity than
it seemed endowed with sudden vitality.
1t attacked the expectorator until hemadly
volunteered to give it satisfaction if it
would accompany him out of the
ear for few minutes. The challen-
ger and the boot departed: the spectators
saw hats flying, and arms and legs spin
ming about with so much velocity that it
was impossible to tell who owned them.
After breathless time the outraged boot
was avenged and departed triumphantly.

THE INAUGURATION OEGOyERNOR
SHEPHERD.

The Inauguration of Alex. II. Shepherd. e. a.,
as Governor of the District, took place this
morning at $50 o'clock, at the residence OF ex-
Governor Cooke, in Georgetown. The affair
was conducted in a very quiet manner, there
being pre-. ent only a few gentlemen officially
there, or immediate per. onal friends of the
parties concerned. The large psrlors of Gov
ernor Cookies residence were thrown open to
the guests who were received by that gentle
man and Col. H. ID. Cooke, jr.. Mr.. Shepherd
arrived about $50 O'Clock from his country resi-
dence, and the entire p-rty proceeded to the
private library. Judge Macarthur then pro-
ceeded to re ID the 9th of office to Mr.. Shep-
herd, who in due form subscribed ID the same.
Governor Cooke then stepped forward and con-
graduated the new Governor, which was the
signal for general hand sh aking, and the con
CALCULATIONS continued until the party wee
ushered into the dining room, where was spread
a magnificent I.uIt lunch. Rev. DIR. Aakirs.
rector OF St. Johl's church, of Georgesown,
offered a short prayer, in which he fervently
invoked the Divine blessing alike upon
the going and the fhconing executive
During the inter change of ftend;y toasts natu-
raj to the occasion, Ex-Governor Cooke rose
and in the course of some felcitous remarks
said that it would seem to be fit upon an occa-
sion like the present to offer a sentiment to his
successor in Office, anu tnat he should not at
tempt formal speech, as he believed in the
old legend, ''short accounts make long friends"
but that he felt that il there had been in his
heart any regrets in leaving the Office of Gov
eTnor OF the District, they were banished when
rellDquishiDg that Office to Alexander X. Shep-
he'd. He would now propose the health OF
Governor Shepherd. Governor Shepherd, in
response, said, after thanking Governor Cooke
Tor the compliment, that the highest honor
which could be conferred upon him was to be
the successor of Henry ID. Cooke, and he hoped
in the uture as in the past, success would at
tend every effort OF his predecessor, and that
the great God would watch over him wherever
he might be. The Ex-Governor then escorted
Governor Shepherd to the Executive Office,
where he formally entered upon his duties
The Board of Health called on Governor
shepherd to day in a body TO extend their con
gra,ulatOns, DIR. Cox acting as spokesman. The
Governor briefly responded, thanking them for
the compliment.
Among those who called upon Gov Shepherd
this morning to tender their compliments were
Secretary Belknap, Consul General Hitz, Pres
ident Stickney of the Council, Speaker Camp
bell OF the House, and large number of our
leading citizens.
