WRONG KIND OF A SHIRT.

1t was a respectable looking
colored man who brought his
washing home.
"Your wife is a good washerwo-
man, isn't she ?'' said the young
bachelor to the polite and obse-
quious man.
"Yaas, sir, she commonly always

band Of the laundress.
"Well," resumed theyoung bach
elor in his blandest and most in
sinuating manner, "You can tell
your wife that I esteem her very
highly as one possessing many
womanly and christian virtues, a
domestic gem and household Or
nament, a social luminary and
moral beacon, an exemplary chris
tian, gentle, loving wife, a wash
erwoman among ten thousand, land

objection"
"What's dat, sar?' inquired the
smiling African, who had been
showing two rows of spotless ivo-
ry and a cavernous opening Of the
head, while his wife was being so
extravagantly eulogized.
"What's dat, boss?"
"She puts all the starch in my
socks, and none in my shirts; she
washes or irons all the buttons of

SPIRIT RIFLE PRACTICE.

The papers contain an account
| of so-callod elaborote investiga-
tion of a materialized spirit, which
recently took place in St: Louis,
Mo. The medium was one VIC:
Clark, who pretends that he has
a band-of thirty-two disembodied
spirits about him, some of which
he can materalize by the odic or
mesmeric force in him. During
this naturalization, the medium
was tied up in a closet, and the
room darkened; when, after a lit
tie while 8 curtain was withdrawn,
exposing a part of the interior of
the closet, in which then the ghost
or materialized spirit was seen.
| AS it was suspected that, in this
case, the same kind Of deception
was employed as in the Katie
King affair, namely, that a real
| person Of flesh and blood acted
the role Of the spirit, it was sug-
| gested that a crucial test would
be to fire at the spirit with 8
loaded musket,a as a real spirit could
not be hurt by such an experiment.
Mr.. Clark having asserted that his
materialized spirits were no decep-
tions, but real spirits, and could
| stand such a test, he received from
an able marksman the following
formal challenges:
! ST. Louis, Aug. 4, 1875.
Mr.. CLARK: Dear Sir:-Having
attended a seance given by you,
and having seen the wonderful ma
terializations, I will give you fifty
dollars to produce one face at the
aperture, if you will let me, or any
person I may name, fire shot at
it with rifle. If it is spirit face
it cannot hurt it, and it will satisfy
| me it is not'you with a mask on
your face. Ny conditions are that
you will disrobe yourself and put
| on clothes Ishall produce, and per-
NIT me to fasten you to the bot
tom of the cabinet. Yours, res
pectfully, HENRY TIMKENs.
This was accepted by Mr.. Clark.
On the appointed evening, August
8, he was divested Of all clothing,
and other clothes brought by Mr..
Timkens were put on him !; he
was tied down to the bottom of
the cabinet by ropes passed
through holes; a black curtain
covered the window at which the
ghost was to appear; the window
! was located on one side of the me-
dun; the string to open this cur
tain was placed within reach OF
Mr.. Clark. The cabinet was closed
and the lights turned down, and
after a period Of painful stiffness,
the medium asked the audience to
sing and they did SO with a will.
Aftor they had finished several
songs a loud knocking was heard,
which slowly became more gentle,
and,then ceased. After: three quar-:

AN ELEPHANT PICKS A
YOUNG WOMAN'S
POCKET.

On Tuesday the entire popula-
tion except a blind woman and
Rouse, went over to see Queens
great show and have a nice time
A young lady from across..the Jer-
sey took her suitor and an opera.
glass. The young lady says she
thought the performance real ro-
mantle until she stopped to see the
elephant.
She wore one Of those pockets
behind in which, besides her hand
kerchief, she had deposited an ap-
pie, a handful of peanuts, quarter
of a pound of gum-drops, a little
bottle of ammonia, and some other
trihes. She and her swain, after
admiring the complexion of the
huge beast, turned their backs
upon him to watch the monkeys
and the live kangaroo, and gaze
into each others eyes; to do this
the better they leaned back
against the rope which inclosed
the stately monarch, who saw the
apple protruding from the pocket
of the unconscious fair one. He
hesitated moment and was lost
toall sense of honor or self.respect,
for with shufling movement he
emulated the example Of our COM
mon mother, pluoked and ate the
fruit, returned to the pocket and
scooped out the gum-drops andpea-
nuts, with asly wink at his nephew,
who was looking on with anxiety
at the proceeding. But in the last
mouthful the majestic beast took
in the ammonia bottle by mistake,
the cork came out, and about an
ounce of hartshorn ran down the
throat Of the greedy beast. This
beverage is said to have reviving
and stimulating influence and in
this case it provedeits power, for
a more revived elephant was never
seen on earth. With a wild yell
he grabbed the protuberance be-
hind the lady which had been the
cause of his disaster !; she was
"pulled back" some before, but as
the exasperated trunk yanked at
the hustle and accessories, all for
mer attempts at that style of wear
ing gear seemed pale and sick
ly; everything was "pulled back"
until the young woman looked
like the statue Of Niobe in blue
calico. Theyoung man with great
presence of mind shouted "shoo,' -
and the gentlemanly clerk of the
elephant, with a long prod persua-
ded the boast to let up. But the
fun was over for the day; cake had
no charms, end soda no balm for
these two souls, who walked home
with but a single thought about
wild Correspondence Of
the Kansas Csty Times.
