Little Mistake.

During social evu revival in the
city of Glasgow, Scotland, it was the
custom for clergymen to 60 about
the streets at night, and invite any
poor unfortunate who might be wan.
dering amid the lonely ehcoes to a
midnight tea party, where prayer
was mingled with hospitality. On
one occasion a respectable and port
ly divine found young woman
standing on the street corner in rath
er an undecided attitude. "Youpg
woman" said he, "wlll you go with
me to the house of prayer ? l would
save you from life of misery here
and damnation hereafter" so, if
you please, sir" said the unprotect-
ed female, 81 amt social evil
am only waiting for the bus"

Story of Mrs. Siddons.

"When I was poor girl" relates
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, "work-
ing very hard for my thirty shillings
a week, l went down to Liverpool
during the holidays. where 1 was
kindly received. Twas to perform
in new piece, somewhat like those
pretty little affecting dramas they
get up now at the minor theaters ;
and in my character l represented
poor orphan girl reduced to the most
wretched poverty. A heartless
traaesman prosecutes the sad heroine
Tor heavy debt and insists in put.
ting her in prison unless some one
will be bail for her. The girl re-
plies "then have no hope-l have
not friend in the whole world"
"What /! will no one be bail to save
you from prison % asks the stern
creditor. 81 have told you that |
nave not a friend on the EARTH" was
my reply. But just as was utter
ing the words, l saw sailor in the
upper gallery springing over the
railing, letting himself down from
one tier to another, until he bounded
clear over the orchestra and foot
lights, and placed himself beside me
in a moment, "Yes, you shall have
one friend, at least, my poor yeung
woman 70 said he, with the greatest
expression in his honest, sun-burnt
countenance. 81 will go bail for
you to any amount And as for you
(turning to the frightened actor, il
you don't bear hand, shift your moor
lngs, you lubber, it will be the worse
for you when | come athwart your
bows" every creature in the house
rose the uproar was perfectly an
acknowledgements of laughter,
screams of terror, cheers from his
tawny ates in the gallery, pre-
paratory scraping of yiolins in the or
chestra and amid the universal din
there stood the unconscious cause OF
it sheltering me, the poor distressed
young woman, and breathing de-
fiance and destruction to my mimic
prosecutor. He was only persuaded
to relinquish his care OF me by the
managers pretending to arrive and
rescue me with profusion of theat-
rlcal bank notes.

The Humors of the Oestitution.

The distribution on Monday had,
like other things, humorous side to
it. A stalwart young man, fresh
from the densest OF the '.jungles of
O'Brien," stepped up to commits
sioner Tasker for his spring wheat.
The lynx eye of old John saw at a
glance by his bearing that he was
not needy, so he piled him with an
array of most uncomfortable ques.
tions. The young man couldn't
stand the fire, so he retreated, slap
ped his hands in his pocket, adding
at the same time, he had money to
buy grain with independent of him.
This was too much for the Commits
sioner, whose eyes flashed with in-
dignation as he held the young man
up as sneak, who would dare to
steal from the destitute OF his coun-
try that he might enrich himself.
The young man lodged out in hur.
ry amid the Kisses of the bystand-
ers.
A woman dressed in Russian furs
and fine silk dress, stepped up to
claim aid. She too was subjected to
fusilade of commissioners logic,
and it turned cut that she was a
school ma'am teaching right along
and receiving big pay. This didn'l
suit, so she left declaring like Susan
b. Anthony, that poor woman had
no rights that man was bound to
respect.

The following teleoram IN

The following telegram to a Bos.
ton paper shows the part played in
the New Hampshire election by the
Prohibition party, and how, as usual,
1t turned the scale against the cause
it pretended to be Jealous for. Those
who are proposing the same sort of
suicide In Iowa may read this with
profit while yet there Is time:
One feature of the Republican de-
feat is worthy of special remark. 1t
is, that while the Republicans bold
ly adopted prohibltory plank in
their platform, the 80 called prohib.
itory party voted for their own men,
and prevented the choice of Repre-
sentatlves in the Republican towns
OF Rochester, Newport, Bristol, and
other places. Had they acted with
the Republicans in those towns the
Legislature would have been Repub-
lican and the prohibitory law saved.
But as it is, they aided in securing .
Democratic triumph and the repeal
OF the law, and year of free rum
will be their reward.

Woman of Marble.

An enthusiastic writer says that
woman of New Orleans are like CHS
eled figures out of marble, with the
soft dash of Guides brush, or of
Peiarch's song in their faces and
the ripe Southern blood flushing up
to their temples under the pure sur
face of their veins. The :quisitness
Of their style takes your l. ath with
an exclamation of admiration, and
sigh of relief as they pass. "Those
lovely beings are reared under the
solemn shadow of tholicism their
culture is narrow but they gather in
their loins the gait of expression,
and in their eyes that glance filled
with the wisdom, the cunning, the
refinement Of womanh ood." Our
girls can't go 80 much ON the chisel,
or on the vein business their gait
don't express much, and their cum
ming is not of the Catholic order,
but they can beat New Orleans on
''slapjacks" and common sense.
