Coming for Him.

Coming for Him.
We hope that with the passing away
of the snow will disappear all temptation
to repeat the disgraceful scene enacted
on Munson street on Friday afternoon.
As near as we can ascertain, the particu-
lars are as follows:
Mr.. Robinson, who occupies the house
next north of MerriIl's grocery, was en-
gagged in shoveling the snow from the
roof into the street. During the work
he heard scream from below, and look
ing over the cornice he saw man with
hair, neck and clothes full of snow,
dancing up and down on the walk and
shaking. his fist toward Mr.. Robinson.
"What do you mean by throwing your
blasted snow over me?" gasped the
stranger.
"Who threw snow on you?" very nat
urally inquired Mr.. Robinson, there
being every probability in the world
that it was thrown on him several days
before.
"You did, just this mint" asserted
the stranger, most positively.
"Well, 1 didn't mean to throw it on
you. How'd I know you were there 2"
said Mr.. Robinson, feeling that the oc-
casion called for some firmness.
"Why in thunder amt you looking
to see what you're doin', and not be
fiinging your snow all over creation,
burying up respectable people?" de-
manded the stranger.
"Who are you, anyway" said Robin
son, raising his voice to the key adopted
by the stranger.
me again with your avalanche, !" screamed
the stranger.
Both men were now talking at the top
of their voices-being some twenty feet
apart-and several windows in the neigh
borhood went up.
"What do you mean by talking to me
| that way ?" screamed Robinson.
"I'n show you, if you come down
here, you dough-faced guillotine,
shrieked the stranger.
Robinson, cor I'll come down there and
split your head open with this snow
shovel"
"Oh, just you come, just you come"
screamed the stranger, with the snow in
his neck, going passionately through the
motions of backing a pair of imaginary
eyes. "That's all I ask of you, you
cock-eyed bedbug"
"Stop your hollering around here,
you bow-legged reptile" yelled Robin
son, dancing on the edge of the roof in
an ecstacy of rage, cor I'll hammer the
lights out of you in about a-Mur-
der he'll"
And in an instant the frightened man
was sailing toward the walk, madly claw
ing the air with pair of legs and long
handled snow-shovel. The occupants of
the windows sent up q scream of horror,
while the individual on the walk gave
one frenzied glance at the approaching
spectacle and turned about and fled dis
tractedly up the street, shouting "Fire I"
and Police !" at every jump.
Robinson struck into the snow with a
velocity that nearly unjointed his neck,
but he was on his feet in an instant, ac-
lively warding off the blows of an ina
ginary assailant, and crying at the top of
his voice:
"Keep him Off rnme. Help help for
the sake of my family, help me !"
Mr.. Merrills, who had been attracted
to the door by the noise, came out and
took him by the arm, and told him the
stranger had fed.
"Gone /" quickly calculated Mr.. Rob-
inson, looking hurriedly around. cit is
well he has. I was coming for him,
Merrills coming for him hot, and ]
guess he saw it. ."--Danbayy NeaUS.

A New IMPLICATION OF DEATH. the
patient really dead or not? is at times a
very anxious question. A medical prac-
titioner of Cremona proposes simple
method by which the question may be
answered with certainty. 1t is to inject
drop of ammonia beneath the skin,
when, if death be present, no effect, or
next to none, is produced; but If there
be lie, then a red spot appears at the
place of the injection. A test 50. easily

hension of being buried alive.-iScten-

THE vfNE AND THE THYME PLANT
A Spanish Fable.

A vine, which fourished, fair and tall,
By clinging to friendly wall,
Grew proud to hold her head so high,
(As claiming kindred with the slzy),
And, looking down with plying scorn
On humber plants beside her born,
Thus to thyme-plant rudely said:
"'Tis strange you never leave your bed,
Nor grow foot above the earth;
Sure, life must be of little worth
To one who thus is always found
The merest groveler on the ground,
Where all the fragrance You may boast
On low society is lost;
Whereas, (excuse me, Goody Thyme y
If you, like me, would only climb
Aloft, and take higher range,
You'd own it for charming chan5ew
The other answered, avery true,
l do not grow so tall as you;
But then, your ladyship must own,
Unlike yourself, grow alone!
For me, though but an humble thyme,
pity you, who cannot climb
A single inch without support;
And so 20 iie y are fain to court
An ugly wall to be your prop;
Take that away-and down you dropi"

ment at Washington. A package of $4,000

POLITICAL.
The President has availed himself of the op-
portunity presented by the resolutions adopted
by the Pennsylvania Republican. Convention to
definitely announce his views on the third-term
question. In letter addressed to Gen. Harry
White, President of the Pennsylvania Conven-
ton, Gen. Grant states that he was not willing
ly candidate either for first or for second
term. The reason given for not sooner answer
ing the assertions regarding his third-term can
didacy is, that heretofore the question has never
been presented in such form that he could,
without seeming undignifed, notice it. Now,
however, the reason no longer exists, and he
accepts the earliest occasion for a reply. In
closing his letter he says II am not nor have
1 ever been, candidate for a denomination. ]
would not accept a nomination if it were ten
dered, unless it should come under such cir
cumstances as to make it an imperative duty

cases, Stratton was therefore discharged.

1t is a striking comment on our Con-
gressional enactments for the benefit of
the postal service, that after the LIST of
July a newspaper can be sent from
Brooklyn to Constantinople for two cents
which would require four cents to carry
it from Brooklyn TO New York. The
rate of postage on newspapers sent
abroad after July 1 will be two cents on
papers that do not weigh more than four
ounces, while at home the rate is one
cent on every ounce.
