TOPPING CORN.

And there they sat a popping corn,
John stiles and Susan Gutter,
John as fat as any OK,
And Susan tat as butter.
And there they satiand shellcd the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire
And talked of different kinds OF ears,
And hitched their chairs up higher,
Their Susan she the pepper shook,
And John he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red,
As saucepans made of copper
Andthen they shcllcd and popped and
Cte.
All kinds of fun a-poking;
And he haw-hawcd at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they opped; and still they ate,
(John S mouth Was like a hopper; y
And stirred the fire and sp-inklcd salt,
And skook.and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, and then struck
ten,
And still the corn kept popping
1t struck eleven, and then struck Twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.
And John he ate and Sue she thought,
The corn did pop and patter,
Till John cried out, "rhe corn's atire,
Why Susan what's the matter?,
Said she, John Stiles, it's one o'clock,
You'll die of Indigestion
I'm sick of all this popping corn
Why don't you pop the question -

DcsEitution in..Kknnsas.

A private letter from clergyman iu Fort
Scott, Kan. pictures the destitution there
as 1t comes to the knowledge of visiting
minister in terms which bring the scenes
home. Many Of the poor people in his
parish have absolutely nothing to live upon,
Some Of them have come in from their
distant farms hoping to secure enough to
keep life in their wives and little ones
through the help of the benevolent; one
family had lived upon salt>posk aud cor n
meal for three months; another had been
so long without sustelancc that their first
meal threatened to be their last. Some
have suffered two consecutive years from
the persecution of the locust, and their
little farms are mortgaged to their full
value. The wiiter says; In a small
town, and one small church, one soon ex>
haustS the surplus Of the benevolent and
these repeated calls weary them" The
letter was written in acknowledgment of
the receipt of a box of food and clothing
sent the writer for distribution among tho
sufferers iu his immediate vicinity. The
benevolent of Chicago who woald like to
supplement the good work done by this
one box can find plenty of opportunity by
addressing the Rev. W. C. Porter, pastor
Of the Presbyterian Church at Fort Scott,
Kansas.

THE BOY WHO .LOVED HIS
TESTAMENT:

On Sunday evening an incident occur
red at the Rivington Street lodging house,
which shows that some of these home ess
wanderers are keenly. alive with religious
feeling. When the boys had assembled
in the reception room after supper, the
superintendent proposed that they should
join him in reading chapter of the Bi.
bic, and asked If any one had passage
10 suggest. A lad fourteen years old call
ed out 'the eleventh chapter of the Gus
iscl Of St. John," which was read by the
boys in unison, and with much apparent
interest. At the CLOSE of the meeting
the superintendent asked the lad why he
preferred that particular chapter. The
poor fellow unbuttoued his vest aad drew
forth Testament. worn almost to- shrcds,
and with tears In his eyes said Three
years ago my mothea gave me this Testa.
ment on her dying bed, and made me
promise to carry it always, and read it
as often as | could. Ihaye done so, and
somehow get most mfort out Of this
eleventh chapter Of St John, because
think that if Jesus wept srom sympathy
with the sisters of Lazarus, lie can feel
for poor hootblack like me, and enable
me to love him and keep his commands
ments." The same evening another boy
told the superintendent that he would like
to make prayer, and did not know what
to say, bat if one were written out for
him. he would commit it to memory, and
repeat it every night.-Sclected.

\ Cuban Jurist I'm the Cabanas Fortress.

A Cuban Jurist In the Cabanas Fortress.
A recent telegram from Key Westan-
nounces the arrest in Havana and the
incarceration in the Cabanas fortress of
Senior Ramon de Armas. This gentle
man, who is more than 70 years Of ago,
has for very many years occupied .
very high position in the island as q
jurist, his reputation as such being Sec
ond to none In the Antilles. He has at
various times discharged the duties of
Alcalde Major First City Judge) in
Havana. In the beginning of 1869 Mr..
de Armas, after suffering innumerable
prosecutions at the hands of the Span
iards, emigrated to Mexico. While in
Vera Cruz his popularity and abilities
procured for him the position Of First
District Judge of that city. Lately the
Mexicans adopted q lawwhereby no one
could hold office unless he were native
of the country. This threw Mr.. de Ar
mas out of q lucrative and honorable
Office. He was on his way back to hi'
native Cuba, intending to reside ther'
peaceably for the remainder of hi
days, when summarily thrust into pris
an by the minions Of Spanish power
The Spaniards must indeed be in sor
need of victims when they could ceas
to remember the respect and considers
tion due to a man of Mr.. de Arma,
years, social standing and acknowledge
great abilities.

sumed some hours in the Fifteenth
District Court, in that city, in deter
mining who owned piece ofground an
inch and half wide, and in thirty feet
running down to nothing. The land
was in the rear of lotion Tehama street
and worth at the utmost not to exceed
IS. The suit was an action in ejectment
brought by Daniel Russell against
Fortman & Marx, the brewers. II ap-
peared that the defendants had . sur
vey made, and more than five yeara
before this suit was brought put thei1
building on the line both parties had
agreed to, and that the plaintiff had On
inch Of the defendants lot in the front
which more than compensated for thu
loss in the rear. So the court told thu
defendants to 60 in peace, andmade th'
plaintiff pay the costs.

Last Aot Of the Baz,ine Trial.

The last act of the Bazaine trial has
been concluded in q manner which is
creditable to the French government.
The Marshal was condemned to the
costs, which it was known would be
considerable, - the DUO d'Aumale and
his assistant judges were allowed 8Of.
per day, and Ct. per day for their trav-
cling expenses to Versailles. This item
OF the costs amounted to 84,OOOf., a.
the Allowance was duly paid over to the
judges. The expense Of fitting up the
Trianon for the trial, 80, ,00Of., was also
laid to the Marshal's charge. The costs
were raised, therefore, to 164, ,OOOf. The
late commandant of Metz was known,
however, to have been ruined already
by these proceedings. Nearly the whole
OF his wife's small jointure was swal.
lowed up by the heavy legal expenses
Of the trial. The costs were, therefore
reduced to q, 3,OOOf., for which sum .
distress warrant was issued on M. Ba
zaine's small estate, but the money was
however, immediately forthcoming.
