also school-teacher, handed a problem
to his class in mathematics, the other day.
The first boy took it. looked at it awhile,
and said: +" | pass" Second boy took it,
and said 81 turn it down." The third
boy stared at it awhile, and drawled out:
" / can't make it," Every good, boys"
said the parson, "we will proceed to cut

BREAKING 1T GENTLY.

"Yes, / remember that anecdote," "
the Sunday school superintendent said,
with the old pathos in his voice, and
the old sad look in his eyes. at was
about a simple creature named Hig-
gins, that used to haul rock for old
Malthy. When the lamented Judge
Bsgley tripped and fell down the
court house stairs and broke his neck,
it was a great question how to break
the news to poor Mrs. Bagley. But
finally the body was put into Higgins
wagon, and he was instructed to take
it to Mrs. Bagley, but to be very
guarded and discreet in his language,
and not break the news to her at once,
but do it gradually and gently. When
Higgins got there with his sad freight,
he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to
the door.
Then he said, "Does the widder Bag
ley live here?"
"The ,oidOto Bagley? No, sirl"
"I'll bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley
live here ?"
"Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
"Ill bet he don't. But never mind
it amt for me to contradict. Is thC
Judge in?"

OLD wrAsEL,s LAST POKER HAND.

The best poker hand we ever heard
of was held by old Weasel the other
night. Weasel didn't, know much
about poker, but he wanted TO learn,
and every now and then (the party
was playing euchre) he would show his
cards aud ask if that wasn't a good
hard. Once or twice he bet, but some
body always beat him, because he knew
so little about the game. After a
while, as Weasel was dealing, and
when he had thrown three cards
around to each one, he stopped and
looked at his three. He looked good
while. Then he got excited.
"Now, / know this is a good hand
I've learned something about poker in
the last two hours, and III bet S25 on
these three cards. It's just the best
hand | ever saw"
Jones had beaten Weasel on this
sort of a banter already, and SO he
took up his cards. He had three aces
"a pretty good hand for three cards.
Nobody could have full of fours, and
his threes were the biggest in the deck.
He bent plying smile on old Wea
sci aud said al think I've got some.
thing pretty good here, but | couldn't
bet less than $50 on it. We're not
playing poker,you know and these out
side issues are irregular. l bet $50"
"Done p said old Weasel; "What
have you got?"
They put up their money, and then
Jones showed his hand.
Here's three aces, you old mutton
head You can't beat that with any
three cards on earth. You ought to
know better than to-"
"Hold on,' cried old Weasel, throw
ing down the king, ten and seven of
hearts. "That's a flush, amt it ?"
When you've got all of suit that's u
flush, l believe and flush always
beats threes. don't know much
about poker, but it seems to me I've
got the best hand out of jail"
Jones had forgotten about fushes.
In fact, the whole party rather under
rated old Weasel because he was re-
ligious man and not supposed to know
anything about Grads. But they kept
very watchful eye on him after that
and when he spoke of poker hands
they all insisted on sticking to the
game they were playing.-N Orleans

WEST POINT CADETS AS BAREBACK
PERFORMERS.

The most amusing drill of the SER
vice took place this evening in the
riding hall, near the lower dock.
Twenty-six cadets, Of the first class,
commanded by Captain Rafferty,, of
the sixth cavalry, went through the
trying maneuvers Of the school OF the
soldiers, mounted, at $50 o clock. The
galleries were occupied by the board
Of visitors and more ladies than l have
seen together here since the beginning.
The cadets assembled, armed with sa-
bers and revolvers, on some of the
most troublesome horses in the COM
mand. The young men went through
troup exercise and the use of saber
in cutting at false head on a post
about the height of man. Having
given satisfaction at this part of the
trial of skill, the men were dismount-
ed and ordered to unsaddle their
horses. Then riding bareback, two at
time fired at dummy, leaped hur-
die, thrust at ring and another false
head in one. tour of the school. These
attacks required rapidity and coolness,
because the revolver had to be drawn
from the holster, cooked, fred, and re-
turned, the sabre drawn, the hurdle
leaped and the thrusts delivered in
less than a minute. Few failed, des-
pite the spirit of their steeds. Their
performances elected the highest en-
comiums, and were truly exciting.
Mr.. French, one of the cadets, narrow
ly escaped serious injury from the fall
ing of his horse at the hurdle leap.
Horse and man, in the most critical
moment of the tilt, rolled over aud
over in the arena, which was fortunate
ly covered with tan bark, and saved
