Some surprise has been expressed
that the late John p. Hale, after
forty years of public life, should
have left a fortune of but $4,000
at his death. 1t should be remem-
bered that Mr.. Hale retired from
public life before our politicians had
become thoroughly indoctrinated
with the great principle of Rad
icalism that an honest man can
Justly claim to be neither a Chris
tian nor gentleman, and that a
persistent and indiscriminato plum
dering of the Government is the only
true mark of craftsmanship

And again we stood together

The Trenton Gazette says: Near

MUS named Ephraim Walker, dis
ciple of st. Crispin. Although in a
very few miles of the bustling,
smashing city Of Trenton, and in
sight Of the smoke as it curls
gracefully from the chimney Of the
locomotive, he has never seen the
iron horse nor the rails over which
IL careers so wildly. He has a pen
chant for literature, and INDUCES
in the perusal of dime novels and
almanacs, which are h ing up in
Wondering strings about the
smoked walls of his tenement. He
is strictly honest in his dealings
with his fellow-men, and enjoys
conversation with his friends in

but, like the ancient Druids, wor-
ships God in the groves. His neigh
bors have tried in vain to induce
him to go and sec the cars"

PAYING BILLIARDS WITH HIS
NosE.-An American has come
forward with flesh notion, which
may entirely revolutIonize the
world of billiads. This gifted per-
son filings away the time-honorod
cue and undertakes to conquer his
opponents by simply substituting
his nose in its place. In report
of a match played with Dufton tho
other day, we read: ellis modus
operandi is veLy simple. Dufton
plays break with the cue in the
usual way, and as soon as he leaves
off Jefferson bends over the table,
taps the ball with his nose, and rolls
it into a pocket or oaroms from it
on the other ball." There are I'M
doubtedly some advantages IN thus
dispensing with the cue. The play

chalk his nose.-LondOn Daily
