A Dignied Man and Post-Ofice Clerk

The foswing is the latest by Burdette
the truthf' chronicler of the Peoria Repier:.

buke to some smart " petty official
This morning J't such personlfication
Of innate dignity ,omed up at the stamp
window of the p't-office, and glared in
gloomy and majesc displeasure at the
busy clerk registerg letter before he
sprang TO the windoand asked the stately
customer what he wied. The great man
did not answer for Sc raj moments. He
gazed steadily and inressively over the
clerks head, and then aked, in ponderous
tones:
els there any one he.-r-r-e-who at
tends to business %
The embarrassed clerk bshed. falte ed

public.

And he disappeared. He we. into the
other departments, tortured ca;er with
an original conundrum, and hear rood

"Yes, SIR he said to the grea man.
"there are, in addition to mysellbree
clerks in the letter department, one the

agents, the mail driver, and janitor.
"Ah-h-h. am glad there ale so ma

And then be looked as impressive as
special agent, and was silent for thru
minutes, while the impassive clerk awaite
his orders and impatient men behind hi

The impassive clerk, with the fainte
suggestion of triumph in his eye. wave
the great man aside with
"Sorry for you sir. but the clerk wi

KING AGBARCs' LETTER TO CHRIST

l have heard of Thee, and of the cures
wrought by Thee, without herbs or medi-
cines. For it is reported Thou restorest
unto sight the blind, makest the lame to
walk, cleansest the leper, raisest the dead.
and healeSt those that are tormented with
diseases of long contiuuance-having heard
all this of Thee, l was fully persuaded to
believe one of these two things, either that
Thou art the true GOD, and earnest down
from Heaven to do such miracles, or else,
that Thou art the SON OF GOD, and per.
formest them: Wherefore | have now sent
these lines, entreating Thee to come hitler
and cure my diseases. Besides. having
heard that the Jews murmnr against Thee,
and contrive to do Thee mischief, | invite
Thee to my city, which is but little indeed,
but exceedingly beautiful, and sufficient to
entertain us both.

OUR sAyIoUR's ANSWER.

Blessed art thou Agbarus, for believing
in me, whom thou hast not seen; for it is
written, that they who have seen me,
should not believe, and they who have not
seen me should believe, and be saved: But
as to the matter thou hast wrote about
these are to acquaint thee, that all the
things for which am sent must be fulfilled,
and then shall be taken up, and returned
to him that sent me. But after my ascen-
sion, will send one of my Disciples. who
shall cnre thy distemper, and give life to
thee, and to all them that are about thee.
LENTULUs' EPIsTLE TO THE SENATE OF
ROME.
There appeared in these our days Man
OF great virtue. called JESUS CHRIST; who
by the people is called prophet; but his
own Disciples call him the Son OF COP.

claws-a groan-a gurgle of the throat,
and he was dead

The bull now raised lis bloody crest,
uttered deep believing sound, shook his
horns triumphantly, and slowly walked off,
not, however, without turning every few
steps to renew the battle if necessary
But his last battle was fought. AS the
blood streamed from his wounds death
chill came over him. He stood for some
time, unyieiding to the last, bracing him
self up, his legs apart, his head galantly
dropping; then dropped on bis fore knees
and lay down; soon his head rested upon
the ground; his body became motionless;
a groan, few convulsive respirations and
he too, the noble victor, was dead.

down upon it to pick it right ur, and is
very much surprised to find that he hasn't

and-misses it. lie looks at it moment
before making another effort, and fills ND
the interval with a few remarks The
thiid attempt is a sort of semi-circle, de-

several times, and let's go of it again, and

in perfect despair, sits on the floor, and
actually howls.

The confusion of the British elcctor
goes bravely on. At every political
meeting his head is punched ito the
greater glory" of Gladstone or D'Israeli,
and his nose is fattened with view to
his political enlightenment. It is even
hinted that Mr.. Gladstone dissolved
Parliament in consequence of an agree
ment with the druggists, and has pur-
chased their ..trcc support cy pro-iG.
ing an unprecedented market for stick
ing plaster and arnica. More election
riots have occurred in England this
week than have taken place in America
in fifty years; and, if the precedent is
hereafter to be followed by the British
electors, it will be necessary to hold the
polls in bomb-proof buildings and to
supply voters with iron helmets with
stcel yisors.
