AN INTERVIEW ER.--We mentioned
the other day that II good looking young
lady in Bloomer costume was the center
of attraction for the crowd at the railroad
depot, all the people present being anx-
ious to know who she was, whence she
came and whittier she was going. A
wag finally suggested the idea of sending
in the newsboy with the euphonious and
classic name-l llash-the one whom we
have previously immortaized-to obtain
the desired information. At first he did
not understand wherein she differed from
any other lady, but when the thing was
made clear to him, he said "Vell, tat's
all right; you SEQ | vas go in und say dot
| want to know who she vas-to put it in
dem babers," and the crowd cried" Yes
yes ~ SO he started off, but stopped the
moment he set foot within the threshold
Of the waiting room, for then six footer,
who looked very much like big brother,
stepped up to the young lady and com
menced talking familIary with her. This
somewhat dampened our knights ardor
for the fray, as he begun to suspect that
the brothers. boots would weigh ton or
so if they should happen to move in an
ger, and so he beat precipitate retreat.
The bystanders who had set him on did
not mean to be cheated out Of their sport
in this manner and SO they ridiculed the
youth into desperation and he determined
10 do or die--the brother had just stepped
out. Entering the room again he was on
the point of addressing her, when she
she looked up into his face with winning
smile, as if TO ask what he wanted and he
turned and fed before her glance. lie
afterward explained his conduct by say
ing that he hadn't ''cheel enough TO ask

AN EDIToR's ADVICE A broken
hearted young lady writes to US as fol-
lows: "About two years ago | became
acquainted with a young gentleman and
although he never paid me any particular
attentions, he would often accompany me
to and from church, etc. But lately
have noticed great change in him. He
avoids me as much as possible and starts
if address him. Can he have ceased to
love me For know he did, though he
never said so. If | thought he had, it
would break my heart"
Perhaps we ought not to interfere in
this matter; but as we know just exactly
what should be done with the young man
we feel as if we ought to speak out. Do
not attempt to reason with him, or cajole
him, or pacify him. The next time he
calls, take a monkey wrench, fasten il
securely upon his nose, lead him off to
the dining room, and ask him what he
means. If he won't answer, twist the
wrench three or four times, and butt his
head up against the stove or the mantel-
piece until his gloom is dispellod. If he
says he has ceased to love you, let your
fingers daily with his ringlets lovingly a
few minutes, and then suddenly lift a
couple Of handiuls out, and have an Irish
man at hand to come in and sit on him
awhile and knock out his teeth and jump
up and down on him and be sociable.
Then let him 60 and commence your ar
rangem ents to rope in fresh man. You
cannot afford to waste your young life on
such wretch as this; and where heart
will not throb to heart or soul respond to
soul, the best thing to do is to confuse the
nose ut once.

KISSING IN A TUNNEL.-On the up
train of the railroad there occurred the
other morning most laughable incident.
Some fun loving boys had determined to
have some sport, and when nearing the
long tunnel, they arranged to steal kiss
from their respective girls, as soon as the
excavation was entered and it was totally
dark. The train was greatly crowded, a
large number being compelled to stand.
One gentleman and his fair companion,
we noticed were both standing, and just
in front Of her was colored girl. The
train rolled slowly through and emerged
very suddenly from the gloom, and there,
taking his last, lingering kiss from the
colored girl, was that gentleman, while
his mischievous companion stood few
steps behind, laughing immoderately.
The poor fellow let go hastily and began
to search for his handkerchief, while the
blood seemed ready to burst from his
crimson face. His real partner had be-
come suspicious, and when they went in
to the tunnel, she drew quietly back and
pulled the lady of color into the place she
had occupied. We felt for him, and as
we passed him in leaving the car, we
heard him sigh, want to go home /"

SACRAMENTO "SoFTs " ABROAD AS
MIssIoNARIEs.- .-- Inst week two we'll
known citizens Of this city, with others,
were in attendance upon tho meeting OF
the Grand Lodge Of Mnsous at San Fran
cisco. We will designate thcm as Vat
and jim. One day, after lighting their
llnvanas, they were intcntly gazing ut
some articles in show window that had
attracted their attention, when they were
accosted by natty looking and spruccly
dressed young man, II stranger, who in
timated that bo knew something of II way
up place to take suthin," something in
the cut Of their jibs inducing him to be-
lieve that they were just the sort Of sar-
dimes to be taken in. The apparent
"softs" dropped upon the little game, but
concluded to humor the young man, and
went with him. As they expected, they
brought up in jungle whore the sportivo
"tiger" was roaming unmOleotod. The
nice young man sat down to the tabl1and
in an incredibly short space Of time won
ten dollars. llc then suggested to tho
"solts" that they should try their luck.
What was his surprise to hear the pious
and learned Val address him thus =
Young man, you have mistaken your
vocation. You might do very we'll ut

Singer Of hash in II ten cent restaurant,
but rs cappor' you are II wretched
failure-a hrst-class fraud. You see, my
young friend, we have been there, and
know how it is ourselves. Hoping, my
young friend, that you will seek some
employment better fitted to your years
and capacity, we will retire" The sports
present jbed the unlucky cappcr, who
went out to shear, but came home shorn.
AS Val and Jim left the room, they were
followed by the capper and II friend, who
were profuse in theirapoogies and withal
fearful that they would be arrested. Val
blandly responded "Young man, you
may spare your apologies. forgive you
for the mistake you have made, for | do
believe there is green spot in my eye

not point out the den Of the tiger to tho

A PARIS WOE. - A correspondent
writes A few of the leading hotels in
Paris and small minority among the
most expensive suites of apartments have
gas introduced into all the rooms, but as
a general thing it is confined to the public
rooms, and the unfortunate wight who
longs to see beyond the end OF his nose is
forced to wrestle with dripping candles
and unclean lamps, known only by tradi-
to our native land. The gas-light, which
is common necessity in the simplest
private dwelling in an American city, is
there a luxury scarcely obtainable save
by the wealthiest And we do not know
how precious our gas-lght is until we
have lost it. To sit in a dim paror where
four lighted candles struggle vainly to
disperse the gloom, to dress for the opera
or ball by the uncnrtain glimmero of these
greasy delusions, is enough to make one
forswear all the luxuries Of Paris and flee
homeward forthwith.

ALL HoLIDAY.-Says a writer: An
illusion of travel is the fancy that you

only as you pass along, you refuse to look
below the surface. No sombre shadows

bles that of the fine lady who did not
know chat poor people existed, and who
regarded aged paupers in the light of
picturesque specls in landscape which
required to be enlivened by red cloaks.
To you all people and places seem to be
in festival. Some magician has gone be-
fore TO create an Arcadia along your path
like that with which the Potemkn graft

journey to the Crimea. You flash by
hamlets which seem to you like the
painted villages Of a child's toy box. The
groups of peasants belong not to the gross
race Of horny handed, weather beaten
sons Of toll. They are idealized into Ell
vinos and Masettos, and it would hardly
surprise you to see them burst into reci-
tative or to join hands in rustic dance.
An air Of levity envelops them. They
are actors in a prearranged pageant. And
the same delusion haunts you in gray old

Dull BoYs.-Don't be discouraged.
Slow growth is often sure growth. Some
minds are like Norwegian pines. They
are slow in growth but they are striking
their roots deep. Some of the greatest
men have been dull boys. Dryden and
Swift were dull as boys. SO was Gold
smith. SO was Gibbon. SO was Sir
Walter Scott. Napoleon at school had
so much difficulty in learning his Latin
that the master said he would need a
gimlet to get word into his head. Doug
las Jerrold was so backward in his boy
hood that at nine he was scarcely able To
read. Isaac Barrow, one of the greatest
divines the Church Of England has ever
produced, was so mpenetrably stupid in
his early years that his father more than
once said that if God took away any OF
his children, he hoped it would be Isaac,
as he feared he would never be fit for
anything in this world. Yet that boy
was the genius of the family.

PHYSIQUE OF CALIFORNIAHs.-l have
effects of climate, soil and surroundings
upon the immigrants and their descend
ants. The difference is not very great or
it would heve been more remarked, but
in the physique Of both men, women and
children, after some years immersion in
this environment. The men and women
become more fleshy, with Il tendency to
to obesity, and the children, besides being
of larger limbs and frames, have unusual
amounts Of adipose accretions on their
neither limbs. Their feet are larger, un
less, indeed this be an effect produced by
the universal practice OF squeezing the
feet Of all ages into miserable, ill-shaped
and contracted shoes. The men are
prone to be bald headed, while the women
on the other hand, though they luxuriate
in more hair than at the East, by some
maign influence, lose that soft and pcarly

the nerves are more common than those

A STAGE NOSE.

Several years ago Mr.. Davenport, the
tragedian, was performing an engage
ment at the Holiday Street Theater. On
the night the " Merchant of Venice "was
announced, young man named l.. was
cast for the part of the jew Tubal. Mr..
l.. was quite clever actor in his way,
but his face owned one unfortunate pecu-
liarity-a nose almost as fiat as an Atri-
cans. In the evening Tubal was al
ready made ub for his part, and the play
proceeding very smoothly, while the low
comedian of the company happened to
notice Shylocll's friend, and his nose par
ticularly. my dear boy" said he, tax
ing the unsuspicious l.. aside, you'll do
iamously-your make up is persect-only
you must remedy that unhappy nose Of
yours. Who ever saw jew with fiat
nose? Davenport is very particular
about these things, and if he sees you he
will not allow you to go on"
Poor l.. was much disturbed, and
asked how he could remedy the defect.
"lll lend you my pantaloon's nose,"
said the waggish comedian. Put that
on, and you'll need nothing more" L..
consented and now being all fixed, as he
thought, his scene was called, and he
went to the entrance, waiting for the cue.
Davenport was raging away in front about
his jewels and his daughter, and the au-
dience wrought up to intense excitement,
when suddenly Tubal made his appear
ance.
Never in theater before was there
such season of laughter, for never had
any one there seen such figure as Tubal
cut, with his short round face and long,
comical, pantaioon's nose. Davenport
turned to discover the cause Of this burst
of hilarity, and fell back like man shot.
The remainder of the scene was unin-
teligible, and after it was over the TRACE.
dian called l.. aside and said in his pecu.
liarly dramatic manner: My God
young man, what possessed you to pu
on that nose? This is not pantomime
You have ruined the play-mado a guy

Then he went with his long stage swing
to his dressing room. l.. was nearly dis
tracted. The wag who had done all The
mischief now came up with face Of deel
grief, and whispered "Don't be hurt

wretched Tubal put in his appearance
for the second time-but now, alas! shorl
of his nose altogether. The reader may
imagine the Mysteries of laughter that
followed. Davenport's face of anguish
was a study. Actors and audience found
it impossible to assist at the remainder OF
the performance with gravity, and never
did the farce wind up more uproariously
than did that nights representation OF
the Merchant of Venice" Mr.. Daven-
port returned alone to his hotel and went
directly to bed.
