Tipping the Servants.

A London correspondent writes: at
is strange enough to an American, won't
ed to the lavish liberality of our theatre
cal managers, to be obliged to pay for a
programme he uses at the theatre or OPP
era. And also strange that probably he
will not at first comprehend it is the
daughter-Ofthe-horse-leech look which
the usher who shows him his seat at the
opera or theatre gives him if he does not
voluntarily slip sixpenee into said
usher's palm. You can not inquire your
way in the street, that, in all probability
the Intercepted will not reply, 1 can't
describe the way but Pm just going
there, and will show you,' That means a
shilling-thirty cents in American cur
rency, although only twenty-four in
American coin. You see one can take a
cab almost as economically as to inquire
the way. The waiter who brings me a
single cup of chocolate in a cake-shOp
hangs about my presence as if responsible
for the one spoon with which / sip the
beverage till bethink myself that am
in the Land of Leeches, and give him his
expected tip If crossed the street a
filthy wretch darts before me with the
stump of broom, and stirring up all the
dirt possible in so short time, to make
my passage triumphant march

the raiment of the Confederate army in
color, stands whining for his tip can

dart forward to open the door for me,

Not Easily Forgotten.

A San Francisco paper says: They
tell a story of Marysville nan for
the sake of his relatives we withhold
his name-who is inordinately fond Of
buckwheat cakes and sausage gravy,
and who, whenever he comes across
either of these dishes at table, never
knows when he has got enough. Some
time ago this gentleman was called to
San Francisco on business, and went to
Sacramento on his way, when he entered
one of the hotels in the morning to get
his breakfast. On the bill of fare he
spied his favOrite dish, and straightway
the obedient waiter was soon travelling
toward the kitchen for buckwheat cakes
and sausage gravy. The mans appetite
was keen, and the cakes and gravy
seemed extra good. And four times
did that waiter carry empty plates from
the table to return with more buck
wheat cakes and gravy before he finally
cried enough. Notwithstanding his
breakfast, the gentleman from Marys-
vile managed to reach San Francisco
and transact his business, and was again
on his way home. He returned via
Sacramento, and it seems unnecessary
to state went to the same hotel for his
meal. He sat down to the table and
the same waiter approached. He took
one good look at him, to assure him.
self that it was his former customer,
and then, without a word, walked back
to the kitchen and bawled "Buckwheat
cakes and sausage gravy for six; that
old hog from Marysville is back here
again."

John Bright's Sarcasms.

John Bright has long been regarded as
one of the most eloquent speakers in the
English House of Commons, and one OF
the most popular orators with the peO.
pie. His sterling common sense, his can.
dor, and his wonderful pathos make him
a general favOrite, and he always draws
a large crowd when announced to speak
in public.
But it is not so well known that his
power of sarcasm is almost unrivalled.
When provoked by the taunts of oppo-
nents to use this weapon, which he does
but seldom, his retorts are overwhelming.
Quite recently he replied to some of the
Tory party, who had been finding fault
with the measures of Mr.. Gladstone. He
said, "The gentlemen must find fault
it is their nature; if they had been in
the wilderness they would have COM
planned of the Ten Commandments as a
harrassing piece of Legislation"
But his sharpest sarcasms have been
against members of the nobility. When
boasts had been made of the antiquity OF
prominent family, that their ancestors
came over with the Conqueror, his reply
was prompt, "I never heard that they
did anything else" A noble lord once
said, on occasion of Mr.. Bright's sick
ness, that Providence was furnishing him
for misuse of talents by inflicting dis
ease of the brain. The sarcasm of the re-
joinder was terrific when Mr.. Bright re-
sumed his seat. "It may be so; but, in
any case, it will be some consolotion to
the friends and family of the noble lord
to know that the disease is one which
even Providence could not inAict upon
hin,

An Excellent Memory.

Bayard Taylor, writing from Egypt,
relates the following concerning the re-
markable memory of one of the natives
A small fee opened for us one Of the
lower rooms of the Khedive's house, and
we lunched in GOODNESS and quiet. One
Of the native hangers-on, after looking at
me for sometime, said:
you were here, long while ago."

"And there was gentleman with you
"A Nemtzocce Germany thinkw
eyes"
"And you had trouble with the men
who went up the Pyramid? You went
to yonder village (pointing toward it,)
called the shekh and had the men pun

"And there was boy who carried a
water-bottle; and the shekh of the vii
lage told him to bring coffee for you; ;
and there was no coffee at first, and the
shekh gave the boy slap, threw him out
the door, and told him not to come again
until he brought it%'
Yes,-well?'
81 was that boy"
questioned Achmet to know whether
he had told the story of my first visit
with its seriO-cOmic interlude; he had
not. The mans astonishing memory,
after so many years of tourists, had
recognized me and reproduced the in

The Bright Side.

Look OH the bright side. 1t is the
bright side. The times may be hard, but
il will make them no easier to wear a
gloomy and sad countenance. It is the
sunshine, and not the cloud, that makes
the flower. There is always that before
and around us which should cheer and
fill the heart with warmth. The sky is
blue ten times where tbs black once. You
have troubles, it may be; so have others !;
none are free from them. They give
sinew and tone to life, fortitude and
courage to man. That would be dull
sea, and the sailor would never acquire
skill, where there was nothing to disturb
the surface of the ocean. It is the duty of
every man to extract all the enjoyment
he can within him; and, above all, he
should look on the bright side of things.
What though things do looka little dark !;
the lane will turn, and the night will end
in broad day. What is i'll becomes well !;
what is wrong, right. Menare not made
to hang down their heads or lips, and
those who do, only show that they are
departing from the paths of truth, COM
mon sense and right. There is more
virtue in one sunbeam than in whole
hemisphere of cloud and gloom. There
fore, we repeat, look on the bright side
of things. Cultivate what is warm and
genial-not the cold and repulsive, the
dark and morose.

A Representative Mormon.

"Gath," writing in the Chicago Tri-
bune, says: opposite Cannon is of the
homespun order. His gray trousers
vest, and hair indicate the thrifty agri-
culturist of middle years, and his voice
has the exhorting twang of the circuit
rider. The first sweep would brush him
in as country deacon. As he talks,
however, the sentences take on legal
flavor, and you would say that he was
an acute bucolic attorney. Further
along in his address he develops knack
at repartee, such as insures success to the
rural politician, and you are sure that he
is no stranger to the stump. Ere he
finishes, rhetorical trim invests his
words, which, with his photographic pre-
sentation of his opinions, proves him to
have had editorial training. And, in
deed, he is all of these. His round, red
face has glistened behind a pillow. His
grizzled beard has wagged in court His
great, heavy figure has adorned many a
Utah rostrlm. His thick fingers have
grasped an able editorial quill. Cannon,
in spite of his four wives, has found time
to cultivate the professions, make for
tune, and school himself into clear and
interesting debater."

A Strange Animal.

Some of the animals that lived upon
the earth ages and ages ago, and have
long been extinct, were 80 monstrous in
size and peculiar in habit that one might
well be excused for doubling their ex-
istence, were not the finding of their
skeletons proof too strong to be rcfuted.
One of these animals, the Megatherium,
wasmuch larger than an elephant, though
with shorter and heavier legs, and had
many of the characteristics of the sloths
now found in South America, which was
also its native country. Its hind feet
and tail were very large, the latter
measuring more than two feet in diameter.
Feeding upon the leaves and tender twigs
of trees, ii did not, rs the sloth does,
cling to the under side of the branches
while eating-for the weight of its I'M
wieldy body would have broken the
stoutest limbs-but procured its meals in
another way. Moving slowly and awk-
wardly along upon legs ill-formed for
walking until tree was reached, with its
fore-feet it would dig away the earth
from the roots and sever them with its
sharp claws; then sitting on its strong
tail and hind-legs, as on an immense
three-legged stool, and winding its fore
legs around the trunk, il would sway its
body in all directions until il had torn
the tree up by its roots or snapped it
from its stem. This accomplished, 1t was
an easy task for the huge brute to strip
the tree of everything eatable to satisfy
its enormous appetite.
