Yesterday afternoon o man dressed in good
clothes, an eye-glass, and q gold-mounted
cane, and possessing altogether rather cleri-
cal appearance, hailed passing street car.
There WAS nothing unusual OF particularly
noticeable in this except the air of lofty dig
nifty with which he commanded halt, and
the DESPERATE effort which he had made to
maintain his ter Of gravity as he passed to
the car, and conceal the fact that he was
slightly inebriated. Arriving at the door he
solemnly raised his right foot to enter but
not raising it quite high enough he fell head
long on the floor of the car. Raising himself
up with some difficulty, he cast severely re-
n"oying lool- a. he cid gentleman sitting near
the door, and said:
''Sir, what d'you lift up this car for just as
l vas goin' to get in"
'My dear sir, didn't lift the ear" replied
the Ole gentleman, meekly.
Casting as steady g gaze on the old gentle
man as he could under the circumstances, he
replied:
'Well, perhaps you didn't. I won't tempt
to argue with . man in your condition. My
amiable friend. it's my calm and deliberate
pinion that you've been looking upon the
wine when it is red. Very sorry to see it in
man OF your age. What d'you s'pose your
mothe2 would say i she would see you intos-
seated? My friend, I've wept many bitter
tears over such cases as yours. Yes, CONT
nued he in fsltering voice, and pulling out
his handkerchief, aud ''I'm id ii amt
weeping now, as you'll readily observe
Whereupon he wiped his eyes with grand
flourish, blew his nose, and navigated to the
other end of the car.
When he reached his destination, he
pulled the bell strap and started for the
door. When he got about half way, and just
as he got in front of a lady, he tripped and
fell at full length on the floor Rising him.
self to a perpendicular, he turned to the lady,
and ia a tone OF mingled severity and whisky,
said
Madame, you've certainly got the biggest
feet ever saw in my life"
''Sir, said the lady, Indignantly.
''Oh, don't 'pologise, madame. beg you
not to 'pologise. You're not to blame for it.
You can't help it. But if you could just pare
'em down little. 'twould be great 'commo-
dation to the TRAVELLING public"
The lady was SPECIFICS with Indignation,
the passengers were convulsed, and the gen
tleman stalked majestically to the door, step
ped to the ground, and Immediately sat down.
AS the car moved away, he arose. examined
his clothes, looked up and down the street,
waved his hand in al uncertain manner, and
walked away.-DetroH Ners.

After finishing his meal he returned to his

that they secured a capital representative OF
Judas. but doubtless regret that he tailed TO

s. Not One Dime in the State Treasury"
little Rock (Ark,) Gazette,1

In the spring of 1868, when the Murphy
government was overturned, there were
several hundred thousand dollars in currency
in the State Treasury: the State did not owe a
dollar save her bonded Indebtedness, con.
tracted prior to the war; our cities, counties
and towns were out Of debt and in a prosper
GUS financial condition. This was the case
when the Clayton or reconstruction govern
ment came into power. Now, after the lapse
of nearly seven years, the people are again in
charge of their government.
On assuming control what do they find ?
Not one dime in the State Treasury-a floating
Indebtedness of nearly million and half,
which is hawked on the market at One-third
its face value bonded Indebtedness of about
fourteen millions, with interest unpaid not
one cent to buy even postage stamps and
wrappers, stationery and other necessary AZ
ticles for the use OF the departments of State
or the General Assembly. The heads Of de-
partments are compelled to meet these ex-
penses out of their own private means, the
Secretary of the Senate borrows money to pay
postage-other articles are bought on credit
indeed, our financial condition is most dis
tressing.
And such is the case in all our principal
cities and counties. This is the legacy left
us by reconstruction and carpet-bag rule.
The bare statement of these facts-notorious
throughout the country-ought to make every
honest man, no matter what his politics.
blush even at the thought OF remanding us to
the rule OF the men who have brought US to
this condition. If such a danger were immi-
nent, Mr.. Ward, Of Chicago, could say with
truth that there was terrible state of affairs
here and there is n0wa terrible state OF affairs
financially speaking out of the facts
above cited. Perhaps Mr. Ward referred to

A lady who had barely succeeded in not
catching an out going train at Massilon, Ohio,
stood gazing at it with her arms full of pack
ages and her eyes full of tea rs, when gentle
man arrived at the depot on run, with his
vaise in his hand, his coat on his arm, and
his face streaming with perspiration He sat
down on his valise and deliberately said !:
"D-n it," whereupon the lady sweetly smiled
and said THANK you, sir.

Here is an argument. In a railway station
gentleman dropped neat little pocket
comb, which a boy not notably clean picked
up. Some one mentioned Che circumstance
to the gentleman and he claimed his comb;
but the boy said it was his, and wanted to
know how the man could prove the contrary.
"By the mere fact" was the answer, that
1 claim it, for no rational creature could be-
lieve that should want comb that had ever
been in your hair" The proof was satifac-
tory, even to the boy.

The Misfortune Of Looking Like Marie d
Man.

Max Adeler has friend named Simmer.
who deserves pity. He was going up to Read
ing not long since, and, when reaching the
depot, he happened to look into the ladies'
| room. A woman sat there with lot OF lug
gage and three children, and, when she saw
Simmer, she rushed toward him. and, before
he could defend himself, she threw her arms
about his neck, nestled her head upon his
breast, and burst into tears. Simmer was
amazed, indignant. confounded; and, ere he
could find utterance for his feelings, she ex-
claimed:
80, Henry, dear Henry. we are united at
last. Are you well? Is Aunt Martha still
alive? Haven't you longed to see your own
Louisa 2"
And she looked into SINNERS face. and
smiled through her tears
Madam, said he solemnly, eff l am the
person alluded to as Henry, permit me to saw
that You have made mistake. Ny name is
Lemuel: have no Aunt Martha, and don't
own solitary Louisa. Oblige me by letting
90 my coat; 1t excites remark
Then she buried her bonnet deeper into his
waistcoat, and began to cry harder than ever
and said:
80, Henry, how can you treat me so?
How can you pretend that you are not my
husband?"
"Madam," screamed Simmer, "if you
don't cease stopping my shirt bosom. and re-
move your umbrella from my corn, I shall be
obliged to call the police. Let me go, say"
'The children are here" she persisted,
"They recognize their dear father; don't you,
cbidren?"
"Yes, yes" they exclaimed, . it's pa; it's
our own dear pa"
And then they grabbed Simmer by his
trousers legs ond hung to his coat-tail.
Woman" he shrieked, "this is getting
serious. finland me, say"
And he tried to disengage himself from her
embrace; while all the brakemen and the
baggage masters and newsboys stood around
and said bis conduct was infamous.
In the midst Of the struggle stranger en-
tered with carpet bag. He looked exactly
like Simmer-and when he saw his wife in
SINNERS arms he became excited and foored
Simmer with that carpet-bag, and sat on him,
and smote his nose, and caromed on bis head,
and asked him what he meant. Simmer was
removed on a stretcher, and the enemy went
off with his wife and family in cab His
wife had made the mistake because of Slim
mer's likeness to him. Aud now Simmer
wishes he may soon be kicked in the face by
mule. so that he will resembleno other human
being in the world.

1t is an ancient joke upon allopathic treat
ment to say that sickly patient will soon be
unable to speak in hot weather by reason Of
the rise Of the mercury in his system, which,
getting up to his throat, would choke him.
According to Partisan newspaper correspond
ent, something like this has actually occurred
in the gay capital. An Algerian soldier, who
had contracted disease Of the liver, took to
mercury. Now it would be difficult to say
whether he is merely a super mercurial
Frenchman or an animated mass of quick
silver. The average heat of the human body
is SO degrees. This is height to which poor
Louis Lamarck cannot rise. His faculties are
anchored to 9la degrees. He can hear and
read plainly at that temperature. As it rises
or falls he loses his faculties. At 20 degrees
he becomes blind, at 65 he loses his taste. and
at 20 his touch, and below that temperature
he can handle hot iron. What collapse
would attend summer lemonade or winter
Tom and Jerry! Perhaps the case furnishes
an explanation of the frequent phenomena OF
weak knees stammering tongue, and gene
raj inclination to loll against a lamp-post.

The Decrease Of the Public Debt q Sham.
m Y Posts Washington Special, Dec. 8.

Although the public debt statement for
November showed an apparent decrease in the
debt of more than one hundred thousand dol
lars, there is no concealment at the Treasury
Department OF the fact that the decrease was
effected by withholding the payment of sew
eral large warrants until after the first Of
December. Had all the demands on the
Treasury been promptly met the debt state
ment for the month just ended would have
shown considerable increase in the amount
of the debt. It is we'll known here that the
receipts of the Government from all sources
since July /, the beginning of the fiscal year,
have not been sufficient te meet all demands,
but this is partly explained away by the fact
that all demands are larger in the first quarter
of the wear than in any other in consequence
Of the appropriations for all departments be-
coming available and being heavily drawn
upon.
