A Boy and a Modest SchOOIma'am in a
Predicament.

An amusing incident occurred in one OF
the departments of the High School build
ing the other day. While at play during
recess one of the boys had the misfortune
to make an ugly rent in that portion of his
pantaloons which his short-tailed coat
could not possibly conceal. By the aid OF
his sympathiZing schOOlmates the torn
garment was in due time pinned together,
and by walking very straight the boy was
enabled to sidle into the schoOl-rOOm and
to his seat without attracting particular at
tention. Things promised to work favor
ably until, from some cause, the unfOrtu-
nate was summoned to the platform. This
order he could not obey without display
ing to the whole school the breach in his
pantalOons, and so he sat still in his seat
turning very red in the face, and looking
mortified beyond description. The lady
teacher took his hesitation for insubordi.
nation, and sternly ordered him to the
front. Still he did not move. The teacher
became angry, and, hastily writing note
dispatched it to Professor Rogers, inform
ing him of the conduct of her pupil, and
at the same time commanding the blush
ing and mortified boy to pack up his books
and prepare to leave school. The courier
with the message to the Professor haC
scarcely left the room when he was over
taken by the sufferer, and together they
sought out the Professor and explained
matters. By the laughing and blushing
manner in which the lady teacher peruseC
the reply to her note. it was inferred thai
matters were satisfactorily righted. and the
charge of characterization withdrawn

standing in the estimation of his teacher

Leatherette-A New Material.

The British Trade Journal describes
the above article-a new patent imitation
of leather-as follows: 1t is so good an
Imitation that a superficial observer would,
in nine cases out of ten, take it for the
real article. The grains of the different
kinds of leather, such as basil, seal. morOc-
co, ETC.. are reproduced with a fidelity
quite remarkable. In the process of
'graining," real skin of leather of any
given description, which it may be desired
to initiate. is ken as a mold, and from
this an impression is obtained on sheets of
fibrous pulp by the exercise of enormous
pressure. Thus the grain of the imita-
ton article is an actual fac-simile of that of
the real. Leatherette is obtainable in any
color, and, while it is only about one-eighth
the cost of leather, possesses some mani
fest advantages over the latter, which will
scarcely fail to make it a commercial sue
cess. For instance, it is stronger than
leather of the same thickness, and is of
uniform quality, so that forty or fifty
forms may be cut at the same time, while
the blemishes that occur in leather neces-
state each form being cut singly, and that
by experienced, and therefore expensive
hands. 1t is not so prone to soil, and is
waterproof. The scope offered in differ
ent trades for the utilization of such an ar
ticle is obviously great. Upholsterers, hat
liners, box makers, purse makers, book
binders, etc., may, among others, turn it
to useful account. For book-binding it is
admirably adapted, and probably in this
branch of trade will work no small revo-
luton, seeing that it affords handsome and
realistic bindings at such reduced cost.
There can be no doubt that leatherette is
an imnortant invention

Capital Punishment in England.

About 1S07 a poor woman WITH TWO
children, one at the breast, stole from in
side a shop door a piece of linen worth
some seven or eight shillings. She, how
ever, had not proceeded far when she re-
pented of her crime, and was returning to
the shop with it when she was arrested.
She was tried at the Old Bailey, convicted,
and condemned to death. The jury and
the prosecutor unanimously recommended
the woman to mercy, on account of her
husband having been pressed as a sailor,
her starving condition at the time, and her
previous unblemished character. But all
| in vain. The Judge refused to indorse the
application, and the woman was executed
at Tyburn, the child being taken from her
breast at the foot of the gallows. In the
minds of large majority of the public
| this execution created great Indignation
and bill was brought into Parliament to
abolish the punishment of death for steal
| ing in a shop to the value of five shillings.
| This bill was at first thrown out in the
| House of Peers, the Judges being against
| it. The bill subsequently passed into law.
On the introduction into the House OF
| Lords of a bill for the abolition of the pun
ishment of death for stealing in dwelling
house to the value of forty shillingS, the
majority of the Judges were against it
Lord Peterborough was particularly ener-
getic in his opposition, arguing, as the law
| stood, it worked well and why then should
it be altered? One of the Peers was sc
struck with the validity of the learned
Lords arguments that he said: I'VE shall
not be able to place our heads with safety
on our pillows if that bill passes into

garded, the Judges offered little opposition

" Blazers Finds a Paradise.

We have, says the Virginia New En-
terp1-ise, in this town, genius known as
" Blazer" who is "never at peace except
when at war; He would leave his dinner
any day if he thought he could find fight.
When he is unable to find muss he Is
perfectly wretched. A week without a
battle, and he begins to think there is
nothing in this world worth living
for. Although he seldom wins more than
one fight in ten, it is all the same to
him. He rather enjoys a good pummel-
ing. A night or two since some friends
his who happened to be passing through
the Barbary Coast region of the town,
had their attention attracted to shebang
near at hand by tremendous urroar
There was a smashing of glass. a crashing
of chairs, bottles, and tumblers; fierce
wells, bitter curses, and, in short, a fearful
connection. Thinking one of the voices
within had familiar sound, the gentle,
men looked in at the door of the "gin.
mill" and there beheld Blazer surrounded
by about half a dozen "Coast Rangers,
who were giving it to him straight from
the shoulder" on all sides. Blazers nose
was flattened;'one eye boosted a watch-tOb
his upper lip was laid open by blow from
tumbler, and his clothes were nearly
torn from his back. a clip under the eye
sent him " to grass" when those nearest
him began jumping upon him and kick,
ing him in the ribs. His friends at once
rushed to his rescue. The breath was
completely knocked and kicked out Of
poor Blazer, and he lay stretched senseless
upon the floor. Some water dashed in his
face revived him. Recognizing his friends
he smiled as amiably as was possible witt
his bloate1 and distorted upper lip,
and huskily whispered:
"Boys, its gorgeous! I've stumbled
into regular Paradiser'

A Kansas City Elopement.

Mrs. Arnold, a widow lady living in
Mulkey's Addition, had charming daugh-
ter, and the charming daughter had two
suitors for her hand. Mrs. Arnold wanted
Miss Arnold to have one, and Miss Arnold
wanted the other. Miss A. wanted TO
marry Mr.. Henry Posey. while Mrs. A.
was determined she should marry another
young man, whose name we withhold, as
he came out second best, and we do not
care to advertise him in his unhappy dis
appointment.
The contest between the widow and her
daughter had been spirited and long, and
young Posey, being, as it were, on the out
side of the '.ring," had many heart trou-
bles. At last Mrs. A. seems to have got
her daughters consent to marry the young
man, and matters were becoming desperate
with POsey, who was still the choice OF the
young lady.
The time for the wedding was drawing
near. Posey discouraged and very unhap-
py; young lady discouraged and unhap
Ply; young man jubilant and conscious o.
triumph; old lady jubilant and consciou:
of triumph. POsey sent letter to Miss A.
proposing an elOpement, and the young
lady agreed. The plot was laid by the as
sistance of young lady friend of the Low
ers, and was carried out as follows:
Miss A. asked her betrothed to take he
to the opera-house, Wednesday night, ant
he, of course, did so. After the perform
ance, and just as they were turning tn
corner of the Opera-house, Posey, whit
was standing by the open door of a car
rage, caught the young lady by the arm
She relinquished that of her escort, jump

what had been done, he found himsel
standing alone, and saw the carriage driy
en- rapidly away down Tenth street. S
quietly and quickly was the little side

anything unusual in the proceedings &c

The young man fastened to Mrs. Al

but nothing could be done. 1t was to
late to follow the carriage.

Showing the Boys in WaShOe how to
TX, Shoot.

Recently, at a saloon on the Divide,
some men were discussing the shooting
ARRAY which occurred during the morning
between the two brothers-in-law, Fallman
and Ward. Ii was agree on all hands that
il was shocking bad shOOting-a discredit
to Washoe. at lasta Phoebe man banter
ed Comstock man, whom he knew to be
good shot with a pistol, to go out in the
back ward with him and do some shooting,
Just to show the boys how it should be
DONE. In the saloon was box of eggs.
and what the Piocher proposed was that
each shoot two eggs off the bare head of
the other at the distance of ten PAGES, the
one missing to treat the crowd. The
| COmstocker was bound not to be blutfed
by man from the other end of the State,
SO to the back yard all hands adjourned.
| Each man used his own siX-shOoter. The
Comstocker first "busted'' his egg on the
top of the Piocher's head, which exploit
was loudly applauded by all present. 1t
was now the PiOcher's turn to shoot, and
an egg was produced to be placed upon
the head of the COmstOcker, but when he
removed his hat there was a great laugh,
! for the top of his head was as smooth as a
! billiard ball. For full ten minutes all
| hands tried in vain to make an egg stand
on his head. 1t couldn't be done. the

! Piocher then tainted the ComstOcker with
having gone into the arrangement know
ing that he was safe. The latter told him
TO set up his egg and il was all right-he
was there. The Piocher went into the sa-
loon, and moment after came out with a
small handful of flour, which he dabbed
upon the bald head OF the Comstocker,
and then triumphantly planted in it his
! egg. fell back ten steps, and then Knocked
it off. The Comstocker then told him to
set up his second egg and shoot at it, as he
didn't want his head chalked twice during
the game. This was done, and the wreck
of a second egg streamed over the Com
stOcker's pate. The Piocher now stood
out with his last egg on his head. The
Comstocker raised his pistol and fired.
The Piocher bounded a yard into the air.
and the egg bounced whole from his head.

DESTRUCTION IN DIsGUIsE.-lt is fact
that mixtures of bad liquors and acid as

They are potent to destroy! and may be
safely warranted to ruin, morally and

them long enough. More drunkards have
been made by these villainous connections,

Extraordinary Longevity.

A Brooklyn gentleman, who is making a
short stay in Delaware county, sends us a
note in which he mentions an eXtraoFdi-
nary instance of longevity in a single fam
lily. There are five old ladies at his old
homestead. Four are widows. one is a
spinster. Their ages are as follows: Deb
orah, So; Mary, 95; Rebecca, Sc; Eliza
beth, 81; Harriet, 76. They are daughters
of Captain Zophar Weekes. His wife
their mother) was native of Jamaica, l..
l., and lived till over 80. The father came
from near Huntington, l.. /. The first,
third and fourth are the permanent occu-
pants of one house. All of them are well
preserved, able to go about and attend TO
light work, and. with the exception of a
little deafness in two instances, have their
faculties scarcely impaired.
