concesling any portion of the anatomy. had
the curiosity to watch the faces Of visitors who
were inspecting these specimens. Often they
were young girls, and in no instance did they
blush or show evidence Of diseomposure. They
seemed to comprehend perfectly that il was q
work of art, and nothing more, upon which
they were gazing. None Of the lady visitors
at least those Of them who were French-had
for such exhibition any of those averted chances;
the strained pretense of being offended, the
the color Of q false mOdesty mounting into
their faces, which one, under similar eireum-
stances, sees 50 often among our American
women. In this direction, true uodesty Is on
the side of the French women Sha then looks

while her American sister seems TO betray the

1t is country saying that winter never sets
in until the springs are filed up. The rule
has its exceptions, but is ordinarily correct.
Our streams are now low. Here are the first
days Of November, with the air mild, the sun
warm, and vailed by those feeey clouds which
betoken, not rain nor wind-storm, but genial
weather. In the early morning we haYe'
cripsy atmosphere, accounted for Ike the frost
which lies Ike unEurnished silver on the grass
and fences and roofs; soon the sun dispels this
cheap, but unadulterated and matchless sheen,
and we enjoy day in which ;;s &c &c live and
move, and have our being In the full view OF
nature, Is happiness. The evening brings the
silver moon, and the shadows, and GOODNESS
which commands trife Of fire. We alternate
between the attractions of the earth and sky,
and the cosy Preside. It is hard to settle down
to the real whit er's work; the providing for the
long cold months Is mainly over; but we keep
out, as yet, some of the largest specimens of
plants, and we almost reproaeh ourself at mid
day that we had not taken better care Of others
which might yet have been IN bloom. But the
changing seasons bring each their peculiar
cares and their especial enjoyments. It is bet
ter to be little early than anything too late

A JOKE ON GoYERYoR BRADLEY.

LEEOm the Mlnnemucc1 heElsLeEsI
Uncle George Cornwall, the popular conduc-
tor on the Central Pacific railroad, tells good
joke on Governor Bradley, who is row canvass
ing the 'igreat East" It appears the Governor
got on the train at Elko, last week, to go to
Palisade. The car was crowded, and he was
compelled to perambulsIe the entire length OF
the car 10 obtain seat "Good morning, my
son, how-d'ye-do to-day, sar p said the Gov
ernor, in his good natured way, to a big Ms
sourian, who had generously given up half his
seat 70 the stranger who had thus accosted
him. 'SThat's all right, my friend" said the
stranger, bat don't make yourself quite so
familiar with me, If you please; have herd
of YOU before-You're one Of them three-eard
feIloWs-but you can't come it over me, not
muchl I've been thar myself, haVep The
Governor assured the stranger that he was mis-
takenin the man; that his mission was one offs
different character altogether; but Il was OF no
use; the more the Governor protested his In
nOeence the morn the man became convinced
he had dropped on one Of them fellers."
Finding his protests and arguments unaFau-
ing, and fearing the stranger might take no.
tion to make him vaeate the seat, the Governor
concluded to drop the subject. The stranger
turned half around in his seat and sat watch
ing the Governor, as II taking the dimensions
of a supposed monster, until the train arrived
at Carlin. Here the stranger followed the Gov
ernor to the platform, expecting every moment
to see him ''spread his tricks, /" and take some
poor fellow in, but was surprised to see his
"monte sharp" at once surrounded by crowd
OF gentlemen, shaking him by the hand and
calling him Governor. Bradley told the joke
to his friends, and the stranger was brought
up and introduced and informed that his sup
posed highwaYman was no less a parsonage
than the Governor of the State Of Nevada.
The Missourian collapsed, acknowledged him
self sold, and all hands took drink at the
Governors expense.

WHO rs ED2

During the excitement Of fair week a tan,
Iank Individual entered the publication Office of
the Biddeford Times, holding copy of the
Times in one hand, and inquired where Ed.
was. He was evidently exasperated, and one
of the numerous boys who grace the entrance
to the publication Office each day just before
the Times goes to press informed him that Ed
was in the composing room. The visitor as
cended the stairs two steps at time in that
direction.
"Are you Ed.7" he inquired of the fore
man.
mo. There's Ed, - the foreman replied,
pointing to where graceful young man, with
an angelic expression Of countenanee, was dis
tributing type, mounted on a stool.
''You internal fool, J" exclaimed the irate
visitor, "don't you know better than to publish
an article Ike that That is no explanation.
It's lie"
Ed. laughed.
"Laugh at me, sirl I'Il break yer head fur
ye."
By this time a large crowd Of Times en-
ployees had collected about Ed, supposing,
perhaps, he had refused to marry "the old
mans daughter" as eompositors sometimes
will, and ready to bounce him out If he created
too much fun, pugilstieally.
1t was then explained by the obstreperous
stranger that he saw q note In the Times to an
article signed Ed, and supposed It had been
written BY Ed. Somebody. When told that
Ed. stood for Editor he 'istOOd@ for the door
at once, with his ears evidently mentally
higher and broader than those Of any cham
piUn jackass In the world.

AN oLD-TL1LF PREACHER.

A manuscript IN the British Museum (Addl.
2s, SGD contains an account of the travels Of
certain priest named Torkington, who in the
reign Of Henry VIII. made the pilgrimage to
Jerusalem. He reached Cranberry" on Holy
Thursday, 1917, having passed with difficulty
over "an 81 and grevows mount called Mount
Gobelyn." On the following morning, being
Good Friday, he attended service, and ''hard 3
Janus sermon of Doctor" Clergyman who
complain of want Of attention on the part Of
their flock, and iocks who complain Of dullness
in their pastors, should read Torkington's ac-
count Of this "famus sermon" It began at
''y Of the cloke in the mornyng and eohssyhT1
tnll 1t was TX Of the clok; and the preacher
alternately held in his hand as be spoke
"balys," "schorge," and a crown Of thorns,
finishing with painting Of the crueifxion, at
seeing which "all the peple both yong and old
they fell downe UPON ther knes and eryd with
with lamentable voee." Some extracts from
Torkington's manuscript were printed in an
old volume Of the GeIsIlSBsaIs's Magazine, but
the whole book may be recommended TO the
notice OF the Camden Society.
