D4INTT IN THE EXTREME.

A contributor to the Editors Draw
er" in Harper's tells the following story
of an old Dutch landlord who "kept tay-
ern" in New York village in the good
old times when such modern inventions
as butter-knives, silver forks, and clean
plates for each "course" of meats were
unknown, at least in that corner of the,
world.
One morning this worthy "Wirth was
aroused from reverie behind the bar
room stove by the arrival of traveller
rare apparition TO his household
whose dress and manner indicated that
he hailed from "der city," 1t was near
noon, and the stranger made known his
wants by calling for feed for his horse
and dinner for himself. As the tall
Dutch clock in the corner struck twelve
he was conducted into back room which
served the double purpose of dining
room and kitchen, and took his seat with,
the boarders they We're not called
"guests " then-consisting of the village
schoolmaster, the farrier, the store-keep--
er's "clerk," and several farm hands.
VINO hired out in the neighborhood, and
who, being "to the manner born" CON
tentedly ate their food of flesh, green's
and pastry off one and the same plate liz
the primitive style. The landlord and
his two buxom daughters did duty as
walters; the carving was performed by
"every man for himself" with his own
knife and fork. The meal proceeded
quietly until the first "cOurse was dis
patched, when the stranger astonisheE
the natives by calling for clean plate,
knife and fork, preparatory to changing
his ham nd egg diet for cut of roast
beef. They were handed to him, how.
ever, without remark, although not with
out dumfounded stare from the land
lord, and again things went along AZ
usual, until the stranger, having disposed
of the substantials, and feeling inclined
to finish off with slice of pie, called for
another clean plate with knife and fork
Accomplishments. This was more than
the saturnine landlord, with his home
bred notions, could stand He rushed
up to the stranger, leaned over his shout

sideways-in the face, said,

"Well, what is it," was the somewhat
surprised response of the stranger.

4 GOOD SHOT.

In a recent publication, ("Harry
Blount," book for boys, by Philip Gill
bert Ham erton,) the author, in ali essay
on manly sports, holds that to wound
and not to kill is almost crime. Hence
the appended advice: eff you shoot at
all, make up your mind to become a thor
onghly good shot, and exercise yourself
a good deal at first upon inanimate OBJ
jects, first at stationary things, and after
ward at things in motion 1t is easy
enough to contrive both kinds of target
Anything will do for stationary target;
the best thing is piece of cardboard
four or five inches square. But the
moving target is great deal more anus
ing, and affords more advanced practice.
If you live anywhere near a pond, make a
little rough boat of a solid block of light
wood, SO that it cannot sink, with an
iron mast, and paper sail that You can
easily replace with fresh one. Fire at
this, when it is sailing fast, and see how
many pellets you can put into the sail.
1t is quite as amusing to practice in this
way as it Is to wound a quantity of
wretched little birds; indeed, it is even
more amusing, for you and your friends
can count the number of pellets you put
into the target on each shot, thing you
cannot do on the body of wounded bird
that has gone away to suffer at distance.
And as for acquiring skill in shooting,
there is ample proof of the great utility
of target practice. Many of the finest
shots among English rifemen formed
themselves entirely upon the target. A
good shot is more merciful than bad
one in his practice, whatever his private
feelings may be-

STRAHGE COINCIDENCE.

The whole history of I" sin found out -
can furnish few incidents more striking
than the following, from the GaUdaloupe
Times. Circumstantial evidence of guilt
usually rests in dumb marks and silent
correspondence; but here a piece of
paper spoke the accusation in so many
words. The crime was perpetrated late
one Monday evening, during the Irogress
of camp-meeting in the Cottonwood
neighborhood, four miles south of Sc
gum, Texas
Son this night about ten o'clock, Mr..
Job brennan, his wife and daughter,
and child of ten years, on returning
home from the meeting, were shot by
wayside assassins. brennan was killed
his daughter, riding behind him on the
same horse, received five wounds, and
Mrs ID. received one severe wound.
The daughter alone saw man crouched
down In a fence corner.
"Next morning Judge Moore held an
inquest on the body of Mr.. brennan.
Among the evidence piece of gun wad-
ding was found, but partially burned.
On opening it, it proved to be a piece of
a German newspaper. Boot tracks were
found and followed, leading directly to
the homes of old man KINDA and his son
Fred.
"These houses were already strongly
guarded by citizens, whose suspicious
fell there, waiting the officers arrival.
At Fred Kunda's house it was asked
"'Is Julius herel'
Erred answered, NO; he's down at
the old MANS
But In passing the house Julius was
seen through window. The brothers
were both arrested.
Proceeding to the old mans, on his
mantle-shelf was found torn German
newspaper. To the rent in it was applied
the piece of gun-wad, which fitted pre-
cisely. On reading the sundered matter
now brought together, to further test the
connection proper, it proved complete.
The interpreter read broken line as fol-
lows And he raised his gun to his face
and shot him dead
"Most singular coincidence, though
but part of a story in the paper"

Conductors of trains are almost daily
annoyed by the presence in the cars Of
individuals possessed neither of tickets
nor money, and who have to be put ashore
at the earliest opportunity. A few days
since the conductor of an eastward bound
train ON the other side of the chill !"
found that he had ''deadhead" of this
class among his passengers, and three
different times stopped the train to put
him off, each time giving emphasis to
the matter by the application of his boot,
but it invariably happened that the un-
desirable passenger managed to get on
board about as soon as the conductor.
The third time the conductor remained
ashore watching the chap until the train
had attained such Roadway he felt con-
fident the deadhead could not get on
III fact he had to spring in lively man
ner to accomplish it himself; but as soon
as he got Strengthened upon his feet he
found the impecunious riding along
with the rest. Somewhat discouraged,
the conductor turned to him and in
quired, "Where in blazes are you going,
anyway" "Wen," said the not-to-be-
got-rid-of, I'm going to Chicago, if
my pants hold out, but if I'm going to
be kicked every five minutes / don't be-
heve I'll make the trip" The conductor
let him ride little ways.-.Sacramento

YIPER B4RREIS.

Paper barrels can be made at least 20
per cent. cheaper than the wooden ones.
This kind of barrel is composed of sue
cessive layers of paper board, cemented
together and subjected to great pres
sure, the result of which is compact
substance of great resisting power. The
paper is made of straw, which is to be
had in abundance and cheaply, and
about three and half tons of this paper
will furnish the material for 1000 bar
rels. These can be readily made in
quarter, half and full sizes, and it is
stated they will resist moisture very
great length of time and stand four times
the pressure of a wooden barrel. Be-
sides they can be made in form and
shape SO as to give them q great advan-
tage in storage and other respects, and
rs their weight is only about half that of
wooden barrel, they will afford a saving
in freight of nearly thousand pounds
to the carload. 1t is to be expected that
this enterprise will receive due encour-
agement from our capitalists and citi-
zens generally.

graced. With promptitude seldom or
never surpassed, he stuck his battered
hat down on his shoulders, drew up his
hands into the sleeves of his ragged coat,
stuck out his arms at an ,cute angle,
planted his legs far apart, and, throwing
rigidity into all his form, stood there in
the battle-ground, the very beau ideal
of what in England is called "scare-
crow" in Scotland, potato-bogle"
never suspected by the visitors as they
drove up to the front entrance, while he
made for the back door to don his Sun
day garb.

4 FIR. SQUIRE RACE

Rusty is the name of one of those char
acters that are common on the frontier.
-neducated, earnest, and maladroit
Their conversation Is of little interest
save for the quaint originality of some of
their phrases. The following story is.
told of him. He was engaged as butcher
at Roblero, supplying beef on contract
to Fort Selden, ON the Rio Grande, New
Mexico. One day particularly fractions
steer was to be killed. The animal was
secured by a rope thrown over his head,
the end passed through ring in the
floor, and held in this position by Mex
lean. Rusty, arrayed in red flannel
shirt, advanced, prepared to give the ia
tai blow. The steer, seeing the red shirt,
became excited, and plunged forward So
suddenly and violently as to lose his hold
ON the rope. Rusty broke for the fence,
and the on-lookers shouted, ''Run, Rus
ty, run!'' Rusty ran, and as he climbed
the stockade the steer tilted full against
it, and narrowly missed catching him.
Once upon the other side, and gaining
breath, he turned to them with con-
temptuous, injured air, and said, "You
fellows must think l am darned fool to.
throw off on such race as that ."-Hay-

SAMSON. TIE HAsGMAy.

The literature of horrors, says the
academy, is soon to be enriched by the
publication of work that has unaccount-
ably hitherto escaped the keen eye of
translator and book-maker This disin-
tered gem is the Memoirs of Samson,
the hereditary French executioner, who
officiated at the decapitation of Louis
XVI. 1t is said that Sanson's son, who
was also on the scaffold ON the memora-
BILE 2lst of January, had at the restora-
ton secret interview with Louis XVII,
