Partridge's Mistake.

/ HAVE before mentioned the fact that it
is a common practice in Philadelphia to
build thirty or forty houses all precisely
alike in row, so that a man who lives
in the middle has to begin at the corner
and count in order to tell when he reach
es his residence. My friend Par
fridge, who occupies one of these houses,
has been spending the summer in the
country his residence being closed mean
time. A few nights ago he happened to
be in town, and passing by his. dwelling
he saw lights in the second story. He
knew at once that burglars were engaged
in routing out his valuables, and he in
stantly flew to the police station and OBJ
tanned squad of policemen to capture
them. Two officers were sent around
into the back yard and the others pried
open the front window shutter, and to-
gether with Partridge entered the parlor
softly with the intention to surprise the
burglars. The parlor and hall were
dark and the squad proceeded quietly
upstairs, feeling that that they had ev-
erything in their own hands. Just as
they reached the first landing they met
one of the burglars coming down in the
darkness. They grabbed him, and as he
yelled good deal they knocked him on
the head a few times, and after man
aching him laid him out in the entry.
Proceeding to the front room they broke
the door open and found nobody there
but a woman who was scared half to
death. The officers were about to seize
her when Partridge came in and recog-
nized her as Mrs. Kellogg, the wife of
the man who lives two doors below him.
In fact it was Kellogg's house, and Kel-
logg was lying below in the entry with
chains on his legs and a lump as big as
an eggplant on his head, and mad be-
sides. Partridge's house was as safe as
ever. Then the policemen swore some
and went home and Partridge remained
to sooth the Kelloggs 1t cost him $40O
in cash, and even then they were down
on him. He is going to move. He wants
to find pink house with green cupO a
in the center of thirty-acre field. / 9
wants conspicuous house that he CT n
recognize at distance.-Adp Adeter, 70

MY LITTLE ONE.

LIrrLE hand warm, dmpiod, vclvety,
Slipped from my own.
A star-like face, rose-aushed and pearl, shinci
fair
Up in the other home.
The restless feet so small they both could nestle
Rosebuds, in mothers hand,
With their light touch will scarcely bend the
flowers
In that celestial land.
The ripping melody Of the little voice
Is hushed and still.
No more the music Of her broken words my
Empty heart will fill.
" oh, It's not WE'LL" cried when sorely itten
BY His just rod,
"To take from me my darling pure from Heaven
MY gift from Godi"
But after many days His peace came to me,
SO deep and still
That patient and meek my stricken heart made
answer,
"Thine be the will"
1t is well with her the little one cherished,
In that fair land.
The baby fingers slipped from my own into
Her Fathers hand

"T NIGHT HAVE DONE"

Is there a sadder word than thisY
might have donel
/ might have filled life's cup of bliss
At least for one!
might have donel | might have ma
One life go fair
Reft from It's robe of sombor shade
Each thread Of care.
/ might have donel SO simple joy,
Loves word, or vile,
Robs life Of half its sad alloy,
Makes life smile.
] might have douei While young life strewed
Her prescient seeds;
Each folded germ with life endued
To bloom in deeds.
Oh, love -fraught hours, sail mutey on,
Die one by onel

Musical Sarcasm.

We arrived late in the evening at
Techen, hungry and tired to death, and
ordered supper in our own room; but
oh, miseTyl the sound of a piano sud

Impractical hand, and draw d out Ito

gail with: Who is playing there?"
"Oh, only young man who, being en-
crossed all day long in business, usually
plays for couple of hours of an even

thought l. / tried to eat, but that was
impossible; so, without saying aword to
my astonished family, seized my hat,
rushed out, and knocked at my neighbor's
door The come in" brought me face
to face with the innocent delinquent.
Assuming an heir of feigned politeness
l began the conversation: "YOur play

and venture to call. play a little,
too, and happen to have studied that
particular piece; would you listen to my
reading of itY l went straight to the
piano-the young man, quite abashed,
made way for me-and without waiting
for his answer / dashed through the
piece in the widest style and at tear

its effect. "Alasp he said, with sigh,
" / shall never play it like thatp "Why
not" replied l "if you work hardS But
good evening to you" My object was
attained; my nightly tormentor became
mute, whether forever l can't say-at all
events l could eat and sleep in peace.
My wife and children, with their ears
close to the wall, listened and enjoyed
the joke immensely.-Mc sc1eIe's Recent

To get a tight ring off finger,
thread needle fiat in the eye with strong
thread, pass the head of the needle with
care under the ring, and pull the thread
through few inches toward the hand
wrap the long end of the thread tightly
around the finger, regularly all down to
the nail, to reduce its size. Then lay
hold of the short end of the thread and
unwind it. The thread pressing against
the ring viii gradually remove it from
the finger, This never-failing method
will remove the tightest ring without
difficulty, however much swollen the
finger may be.-Rurdt NeaO Yorker.

THE word "penny," as applied to nails,
is supposed to be a corruption for the
word "pound" An eightpenny nail was
a nail of such size that 1000 of them
would weigh eight pounds, tenpenny OF
such size that 1000 would weigh ten
pounds, and so on. II is not known who
originated the method of description.

-Aniine red is used to impart to
sausages fresh and healthy appearance.
1t can easily be detected by the use of
alcohol or ether, either of which sub
stances dissolves aniline but not blood.
The use of aniline is severely reprehen-
sible, not only from the fact that 1t is
known TO have caused the illness OF en-
tire families who have eaten meat colored
with it, but also because from its mode
of preparation it frequently contains ar
HIpchdRge.

The (ity Election.

The city election takes place one week
from Tuesday next. 1t will be one OF the
most important that has ever taken place.
If the people decide to continue the "Ring"
IN power they may expect to have their
city plunged into debt of a million and a
half of dollars in the next five years, and
their taxes duplicated. If they decide to
elect majority of Democrats to the City
taxes considerably reduced. This can be
done by trimming away useless encum-
brances that now stick about our officials
offices like so many leeches and they will
continue to do so until an entire change is
made In the political complexion Of our
Council. This should be effected now. 1t
would be far better Tor all parties TO haze a
change The mere amour. OF money that
would be diverted from certain offices would
make very little matter, were it not for the
TACT that the "RiDg" is determined upon
the inception OF 4 course of extravaganza
that has exceeded all former years. And
once involved III 1t they will make the point
that 1t is better to 20 forward than to halt
at the risk of losing what has already been
done.
The meeting last night was Il stormy one,
and has resulted in an open rupture. As
will be seen in another column, Mr.. VIM.
NJ. Candy withdraws his name from the
Republican nomination. This action, we
understand, he has taken rather than sub
init to the policy Of the Ring. What his
friends propose to do We have not yet
learned but It Is rumored that large body
of Republicans have signifed their wish to
him that he should run in The Seventh Ward
as an Independent: candidate. The Repub.
licau majority in that ward, where the
negro vote is very heavy, ia very large, and
here is very little hope that Mr., Candy can
be elected, since the Ring" hold all the
negro woes, without there was a genera
understanding that he should receive all tn,
vote without regard 10 party. Had Mr.
Candy not gwen way before the "Rlng" ,
week or two ago n concentration might thu
perhaps have been effected But VIC lea
the time has passed for defeating the Rim.
in one OF It's strong holds. Mr.. Candy has
however, determined to rest his chance
with the people and has announced that h
will run on an Independent ticket Thi
cuts him off from the Ring.
