THE RoBBER SNYDER.
He is Released on Bail.

Yesterday afternoon there was considerable
CONSERVATION in police circles on account Of a
rumor that Snyder, who had been arrested and
IN jail for the robbery Of Perry Bro Is store
OF silks some time since, had been released on
bail. When he was taken before the Police
Court he waived an examination, and was sent 70
jail TO await the action Of the grand Jury and there
he has since remained until yesterday, when, on
the receipt OF the proper papers from the proper
sources, he was set free By the warden. An in
quiry Of United States District Attorney Fisher
developed the fact that he knew nothing Of the
transaction, and the presumption is, therefore,
that IL was done by some Of the attaches Of HIS
ONCE. The al ONT Of b. II given was q 500 b Il
who the bondsmen were IL was, on account Of the
lateness Of the hour, impossible to ascertain last
night. It lie, however, probable that If he can
avoid IL Snyder will never be tried for the oense

THE WICKED FLEA.

There are some folks aeas won't bite,
but Alonzo Fleet, married citizen OF
Danville, Va, has spent the greater part
of his life after sundown, looking for tleas.
1t is exceedingly annoying to Mrs.
Fleet. Just as she gets the baby to sleep
and has folded her own hands in blissful
slumber, Fleet slips out OF bed, feet fore
most, and bump he hits the floor with a
half whispered remark on his lips:
1.-THE burned fleas."
You have awakened mo again, Mr..
Fleet believe you are trying to wear
me out. Here had just got to sleep,
and am so nervous | shant sleep any
more this night. What in the world are
you after P''
MARY, there's a flea on me some
where you know | can't sleep whom
there are leas in bed," and Fleet struck
n match.
a don't believe there's any flea here
at all it's just a notion of your own you
can't sleep yourself, and you won't let
any body else"
"'Pon my word, Mary, (Fleet ap-
preached with candle) In there he
goes now Oh, the little devil now I've
got him !" and Fleet grabbed the tail Of
his shirt, setting the candle by the bed,
and wet the place so as TO sec the flea,
then stuck needle through it and show
ing it to his wife, said in some triumph,
You call that notion, my dear, call
that flea"
"Mr, Fleet, take that candle away
from the baby's eyes" cried out Mrs.
Fleet, just us tho baby woke up and the
music commenced.
I'm rock her, Mary" murmured
Fleet.
" You rock her ! No sir, neverl IN
rock her, myself; it's just what | am
for; |, Mary Thompson, married AlOnzo
Flee; to suffer for him, to drudge for him
by day, and lose all my sleep for him ut
night. My lite's no more than flea to
him. What cares he il | die lIooty-
tooty, isn't Mr.. Fleet young and strong,
and handsome, and couldn't he soon get
another wife ?" And Mrs. Fleet lifted
up her voice and wept like hard rain.
Fleet put on his breoches and took IL
chew of tobacco, and as he walked to
"spit out, he said seriously, he wished
every flea on earth was ut the devil that
he wasn't long for this world, ii Mary
lived, and the heas continued to hop
around at night
Mrs. Fleet told Danville friend next
day that MIR. Fleet provoked her SO hunt
ing fleas at night that she sometimes told
him she believed he was after wanting
her to " flee rs a bird to Mount Zion"
The friend laughed and told her she was
always saying something funny Uchs-

NUMBER As.
a NEVADA CHOIR.

A church away out in Austin, New,
corrupted by the tendency of the times,
torsook its primitive mode of worship,
and had an organ got up. The Sunday
on which the instrument was first to DO
used saw largo congregation gathered,
and mild haired young man with eye
glasses and n catarrh, who had been Sc
cured for the occasion, seated himself
before the key board As is usual ut
such occasions there was Il hitch in the
programme-theb blower was behind time,
having stopped on his way to adjust u
personal diaiculty, and when he did ar
rive he was too much battered and worn
to furnish wind for the voluntary. SO
the minister read II little, and the choir
stood up. 1t was one of those modern
compositions called n "sct piece" where
the soprano makes an assertion in solo,
after which she is joined by the ccntrallo
in repeating the sentiment, followed by
the tenor with his view OF the case, and
to whom the basso acts rs sort of mu-
steal indorser. Well, the organ peeped
gently on the liulo pipes, aud the soprano
sang, " Ect had a-wings wings like
ah dove" Then the contralto ohimed in
and tho ivory manipulator pulled out II
stop and let on more steam, when wild,
shrill cry like the wall Of lost SOUL hor-
rided the listening ears of the audience.
Fear brooded over the choir and they all
glanced with awe towards the organ, OK
cept the tenor who had cast in his eye.
With trembling voices the burden of tho
song was taken up, and the tenor took ~
deep breath whcrewth to tackle the high
note ON which he was to begin. The tino
came and the organist grabbed n hnndfl
of stops, and bore down on the pedals.
The note came and with it a shrek ut ut
ter discold with the singers voice. But
the orgnnst was Interested, aud did not
heed the frightened looks of the congre-
cation, so he turned on II fresh supply of
pipes and the basso Numbered out, Eef
had wings" Just then the player
kicked Nil the pedals into motion, and
jammed down the swell. Then came
rattle and hoarse cry, the blower fed
from his post, the choir abandoned their
desire for wings aud used their feet, as II
yellow gentleman cat with tail erect and
blazing eyes, leaped from tae swell box,
and lit in the dcacon's pew. Then the
audience went out, and so did tho cat,
through window.

GRASS WIDOW The term "grass wild
ow," is said to be a corruption on the
term "grace widow" the former being
merely barbarism. Grace widow is II
term applied TO one who becomes widow
by grace Of favor, not Of necessity rs by
death, originated in the early ages o.
European civilization, when divorce,
were granted but seldom, and wholly by
the Catholic Church. When such de-
cree was granted to woman, the PapaI
receipt stated, "Vidua dc gratia," which
interpreted, means widow Of grace. In
the law Of the French it would read,
Veuve de grace" or grace widow,
'veuve" being translated as widow.

YOUNG KEIzLE's AwAKENING.-"My y

head of the stairs, with a suspicious look
ing strap in his hand, "it is now the rosy

his melodies. Awake, my son, and

wrapped the dFaperies of his couch about
him and turned over.
But old Keizle was not to be trified
with, and gathering the blankets in his
reserved hand he roared:
" But, my son, the busy day, walked by
