A western Practical Joke.


A Chicago paper ola recent date
says: Day, the handsome dramatic
critic of the Chicago Evening Jour-
nal, spent last Sunday at Spring
Lake with two friends. 1t seems
that his companion had visited the
Venice of America before, and they
were loud in their praises of the
manner in which the negro attend
ant, "Fred," administered the baths.
So it was not remarkable, soon after
the arrival of the trio, to see Day
meandering down to the bath house.
He was closely followed by the two
friends, who as soon as Day was as
signed to q bathroom, drew the
darkey to one side, slipped fifty
cents into his hand, and instructed
him to the effect that Day was just
out of the inebriate asylum at Chi.
cagO, and that the only hope of his
recovery was the proper admins
tration offs mineral bath that they
wanted him completely exhausted,
etc. and if ever he worked on
man they wanted him to work on
this one mo matter what the bill was,
they would stand the expense.
With other parting injunctions,
Fred hsstene6tO the bathroom of
the unfortunate Day, and soon the
listening friends outside heard the
splash of the water and the "slap,
slap, crack, crack" of the palm and
fist of the brawny African upon the
flesh of the victim, accompanied by
grumblings and curses, smothered
In magic mineral water, which were
followed by the voice of the pow
full darky-"Jus' you be quiet dar.
Use got orders on dis ere bath. Pm
teacher, tell you" And then
would follow another terrific series
of thuds and slaps on the body of
the already half-exhausted and in
furiated man. Then in the breath.
ing spells would come in the voice
of the darby: "Tell you what tits,
boss, dis yere niger haint been
round dis slaughter house no seven
years for muffin" Slosh, slosh. slap.
Finally they subsidized, and the lis
teners slid back to the hotel. Days
wreck soon dragged into the office
and up TO the clerks desk, and this
inquiry came forth: "Does that
black rascal use every one that
wsy2" The clerk was not given
time to reply, for the shouts of the
crowd that were in the joke didn'l
admit of that. The state of affairs
soon dawned on Day, and he called
for the cigar boy and insisted that all
should smoke twenty-five centers
just then the gentle voice of Fred
was heard in the distance, 81 tell
you, Clam, l wa'amed that Teller"

Most people in cleaning lamp
chimneys use either q brush made
of bristles twisted into q wire, or

Both Of these are bad; for without
great care, the wire, or scissors,
will scratch the glass as diamond

all scratched glass will. If you
want . neat little thing that costs
nothing, and will save halt your

SNARI.EYOW

With characteristic honesty our warty
old friend, Lewis. proposes to treat him.
self in dealing with public men. with
exact and severe caudor, though the
heavens fall. Having been many years
connected with the internecine press of
this State. aud being reasonably familiar
with its own rs well as his own history,
being, in short. not unknown % ZANE,
he proposes TO leave behind him sketch
of his interesting life. In dealing with
himself be will hesitate not to lay bare
the motives which have been the springs
of his action; and from the advance
sheets of the autobiography referred to
We have the following indication of the
cold and absolute justice with which he
means to speak of himself and such as
he. We quote by permission as follows
FROM the said advance sheets:
The people of this nation, and partic-
ularly of this coast, seem TO be utterly
demOralized. Mouey-money-money
is the only motive power recognized.
Money takes the place and supplies the
lack OF purity of moral character. integ-
rity in business matters, and virtue In
social life. 1t supplies the lack Of
brains, the lack of education, the lack
Of perceptive faculties; it supplies every
lack. 1t is in this day and generation
the greatest good, the one thing worth
seeking for; the summit Of mans ambi-
ton, woman's desires. childhood's hopes.
From the cradle to the grave there is one
uubroken struggle TO accumulate.
struggle in which truth, justice and
mercy are sacrificed at the altar Of Man,
mon. True nobility Of character is
passed unnoticed and unknown, whilst
infamy in purple and gold is surrounded
with worshipping devotees.
Were it not that tho bow of promise
still, haugs out in the broad heavens, a
pledge that cannot be broken, invest
ments in arks would be better than in
ascension robes.
This willingness, this capability,
rather. of testing upon SO solemn sub
jsct as ascension robes. standing as this
strange old man yet is, with one foot IN
the grave. is one of the most admirably
shocking things We have ever met with.
in (vhat is designed to be) posthumous
literature.
