Men We Don't Want to Meet.

The man who grunts AMI gasps as he
gobbles UP his soup, and at every other
mouthful seems threatened with a
choking fit.
The man who, having by accident
been thrown once in your company,
makes bold to bawl your name out and
to shake your hand profusely when you
pass him in the street.
The man who, pleading old school
fellowship, which you have quite for
gotten, never meets you without try
ing to extort five-pound note.
The man who volunteers his crlti.
cism on your new play or picture, and
points out its worst faults in presence
of your wife.
The man who artfully provokes you
to play game Of billiards with him,
and, though he feigns to be a novice,
produces his own chalk.
The man who can't sit at your table
on any set occasion without getting on
his legs to propose some stupid toast.
The man who, thinking you are
musical, bores you with his notions on
the music of the future, of which you
know as little as of the music of the
spheres.
The man who ears white hat in
the Winter and smokes q pipe when
walking, and accosts you as told fell
low just as you are hoping to make a
good impression on some well-dressed
lady friends.
The man who, knowing that your
doctor faces him at table, turns the
talk so as to set him talking doctors S
shop.
The man who, with look of urgent
business, when you are in hurry
takes you by the button-hole to tel
you bad joke.
The man who, sitting just behind
you at the opera, destroys half your
enjoyment by humming all the airs.
The man who makes remarks on
your personal adornment, asks you
where you buy your waistcoats, and
what you paid for your dress-boots.
The man who lards his talk with
little scraps of French and German
after his return from a Continental
tour.
The man who spoils your pleasure in
seeing new play by applauding in the
wrong places, and muttering in stage
whispers his comments on the plot.
And, to finish with, the man who,
when you draw back slightly to appre-
ciate picture, coolly comes and stands
in front of you, and then receding, also
treads upon your toes.-Pplch.

PROCESSION OF SANDs.-The editor
of the Portland Bulletin relates
the following curious phenomenon
concerning the Columbia river: "On
the south shore, above Cello, the
sand is continually travelling up
stream near the surface in one eter-
nal and multitudinous procession.
Talk of the great army of Xerxes on
the march what was that to the
myriad battallions that pace the
marge of the Columbial In CON-
parison with these tiny travellers,
what are "the leaves of the forest
when the summer is greenl" This
sand is being continually washed
ashore, and as the water falls away
with the dearth of the season, il
dries, is taken up by the winds, is
carried back up stream, blown into
the water and makes another voyage
And SO the work of transportation
back and forth by land and sea goes
on forever and ever.

which l now aspire. 1 want wealth

to open a gambling house, join the
Tammsny ring, and go TO Congress.
Will you assist met"
Hetty was horrified, but curiosity
was in the ascendant.
"How," she said.
"By making rne partner In any
thing you undertake."
"Gambl;ng is good trade in CAL
ifornia, but women's work is better
still. Marry me, and, in the end
Washington with all its gayities
shall lie before you. You are man
of talent, Mr.. Ellsworth; God gave
you brains, use them legitimately
and your chances for respect will be
greater if not for success-Good
morning." And with dignity
which rather surprised the gambler,
who was of course amusing himself
at her expense, she moved away.
"By jove! sort OF Juan after
ALL" said Ellsworth. 81 did not
think the old girl had SO much. to
her. These female adventures 60
ing to California ought to be gotten
rid or" Nevertheless he .felt or pre-
tended to feel ashamed of himself,
and kept out of Hetty's way till the
arrival at Chagres.
1t was a lovely Sunday morning
when the steamer reached the har-
Dor, weighed anchor and COM
menced to land her passengers. 1t
was a mile to the shore, and the
landing was difficult, If not absolute
ly dangerous. The harbor was full
Of sharks, and to fall overheard in
the landing was something to be
dreaded. The ladies were safely
lowered in the life boat, darting to-
wards shore, when a whole boat of
natives approached them, pulled on
and reached the ship. They were
stalwart men in black armor, per-
haps. At any rate nothing could be
seen but their shining black backs,
aud their browny arms; and the
ease with which they piled their
oars gave to Hetly the idea OF some
thing mechanical rather than any,
thing SO comp etely physical as
these nude natives really were. We
must prepare ourselves for sights,
whispered Mrs. Blandford, and Het-
ty feeling thankful that a thick green
veil was among her equipments
looked steadily to the shore until
they reached it, and found them
selves in the town of Chagres.
