A DETECTIVE OurwIrrEp.-Thc other
day New Orleans detective arrested
a man on suspicion of having stolen a
diamond pin. Being hard pressed, the
thief owned up, and surrendered the
jewel to the officer, who put it in his
shirt bosom. On the way to the lock
up the officer and prisoner got on board
a horse car, and in so doing the former
was considerably jostled by crowd on
the platform. Just then the prisoner
whispered in his ear:
'look out, Captain; that was a thief
that passed you just now"
The officer glanced hurriedly at his
shirt front. The pin was gone. He
sprang from the car in pursuit of the
imaginary thief. 1t is needless to say
he was not to be found, and when he
returned his former prisoner was miss
ing also. The next day the vigilant
detective had his feelings lacerated
anew by the receipt Of pencil note,
saying:
Captain, I'm gone; take away the
pin with me. It was too nice to give
up"

How A DUEL RosE.-Maync Reid, thc pro
life author Of wild stories for little and big
children, was once gallant soldier, and dis.
tinguished himself in the Mexican war. After
the capture of the City of Mexico he was wont
to empty his trunk in adorning his handsome
person before calling upon the fair Guadalupe
and while SO doing would stir up his enthusi
asm by reciting poetry, much to the wrath and
disgust Of the brother officers, who had nc
clothes and no loves. One day while dressing
he roared out:
"At midnight, in his guarded tent,
The Turk was dreaming of the hour,
When Greece, her knees"
II say. Reid" interrupted Marshall, "why
did she grease her knees?"
"What"
"You said, grease her knees Now, the
question that agitates the country is, why did
she grease her knees7"
The gay Lieutenant looked for moment in
blank amazement, and said sternly:
"YOu're q fool"
A duel was the consequence, at which Ned
Marshall, with his usual luck, got the worst
of it.

The attention of the medical world
has been aroused by the new treatment
OF cancer, introduced in London by a
Hungarian physician named Grob. He
contends that cancer is not local but
general disease; that it arises from
the presence of a poison in the system;
and that the knife will never cure the
disease, but only postpones it's fatal ef-
fects. His remedy consists in sitting
up another disease-fever-under the
influence of which the blood poison.
which causes the cancer is thrown off.
1t is said that he has made some mar
velous cures.

THr CAMEL AND THE NEEDLES Eye

The CAMEL AND THE NEEDLES EYE
Have you q clergyman to spare from
your we'll manned pulpits? Is there
any one of your sound divines who is
willing to suffer martyrdom in . first
class church? the pulpit in Madison
SQUARE is vacant, and candidates will
have a chance. Madison square is the
most fashionable spot in this city; the
PRESBYTERIAN church, which fronts the
green expansc, is the richest and most
fashionable in this denomination here.
The salary is $4,000 and house. This
is easily run up to $40, 900 by perquis-
ties, and an occasional trip to Europe
thrown in. In Madison Square vul-
gar poverty is unknown. A lot % by
100, fronting the square, is worth $780,
900 for a dwelling house. The man
who occupies this pulpit will preach to
fifty millions of dollars. His congre.
CATION will include three banks, and
nearly twice as many insurance offices,
besides other corporations equally soul
less. One may almost feel the heavy
tread of these capitalists as they tread
up the aisles as suggestive of their finan-
cial basis Hence it will answer to
read occasionally about the camel and
the needles eye, for they are we'll of.
They expect to be rich one of these
days. They are poor enough when you
ask them for money Washington paper.

All my terrors still enhancing.
Soon saw him prancing. dancing
Horrid horn pipes on the floor;
Surely. thought l, now he'll nab me!
What if those great claws should grab me!
What if his keen blade should stab me!
Spill my blood from pore to pore;
And the maid who tends the chamber,
Finds me weltering in my gore.
Presently my pluck grew stronger.
And my breath q little longer.
'sSir," said I, or madame, truly,
You or must take the floor;
For, in fact, there is no mapping.
With your wings around me tapping.
Soon my veins you will be tapping,
And nv blood you will be tapping;
Therefore, las remarked beforel.
You or must vacate-sure.
All my soul within me burning,
Hurriedly the sheet upturning,
neutrality-suspicious. spurning-
Out leaped upon the floor.
''Courage!" said /, "soon III find him,
Cautiously I'll creep behind him.
And with one stout stroke so blind him,
That he'll see the light no more;
That his blood-shot, bleared and blinking
Eyes shall see the light no more"
Open here flung the shutter.
When with sudden dirt and fiutter.
On the wing the hoary humbug.
Round the room began to soar.
Not the best Of steering made he.
Not moment stopped or stayyd he,
But with headlong haste his head he
Butted 'gainst my chamber door
Fairly. squarely-with "heavy
Thud" he fell upon the floor.
"Iist," said I, "thou thing Of evil,
Be thou bug. or be thou devil.
You shall find my head is level:
Now your days are numbered-sure:
Better thee thy will be writing!

Soon, ali, soon, you will be biting
Dust upon my chamber floor

As he scarcely more than muttered;

"Bug or fiend!" shrieked upstart!ng.
"Ba that word our sign of parting.

For the Nights Plutonian shore,
Where thy CORY, CHASTITY carcass
Shall be hid forevermore.

Your forgiveness implore;
But the fact Is must kill you.
Turn your eyes up this way. viii you,
That with torments l may oil you.
Ere you leave this mundane shore.
For that dark and distan. Hades.
Where you'll pinch and scratch no moro.
Thus upon that midnight dreary,
While I stood there faint and weary.
With this gaunt and curious combat
Combat never fought before;
Suddenly chased and catched him.
With my boot I slightly mashed him.
And with force and fury dashed him.
Headlong through my chamber door;
Dashed his mashed and mangled carcass
On the nights Plutonian shore;
Then creeping back to bed. I muttered,

IDAHO WORR.
THE PUNCHING BUG.
LATTER PoE-BY DIR. SOCKS. ]

Once. upon midnight dreary.
While pondered, worn and weary
over many quaint and curious
Bug that had seen of yore;
While lay there nearly sleeping,
Through my halfclosed eyelids peeping.
suddenly I saw one creeping.
Creeping on my chamber floor.
..'Tis Pinching Bug!" muttered.
"Wonder if there's any more?"
All! distinctly remember!
Twas in August-(not December.)
And quaked in every member,
AS gazed upon the foe;
Eagerly wished for morning!
vainly tried to speed its dawning!
Surely he will give me warming
Warning ere he grabs my toe;
s.I'm a murdered mani" muttered:
Cup the spout I'm bound to CO..
Then his steps-no sound uncertain
Rattling the purple curtain
Thrilled me-filled me with fantastic
Terrors never felt before:
So that now to still the beating
OF NV heart, I tucked the sheeting
Close around me and repeating
Words of vengeance by the score,
Hoped to see him soon retreating-
Only hoped, and nothing more.
