4 Luck Of HAIR
efeos.' y

Almost every one has ut least one
lock of hair cut from the head of one
now dwelling in that silent land whence
come no messages, no letters, no tokens
of any kind to tell o, love or of remem-
brance. Every one knows that strange
emotion, half JOY, half woe, with which
the tiny relic Of SO much that was once
dear can thrill tie soul. Only now and
then do we dare TO take it from its hid
ing place, hold i in the palm, press it
to the check, and use il as talismau to
recall all that we must perforce forget
in the work-a.day world for the sake of
strength to do its battle.
We do not know whose hair that

Partisan Balls.

In Paris, when tho sun goes down
and honest people get to bed, queer
things take place. When the gas is
lighted, and the places of amugements
openin full blast, curious sights are to
bo seen. A correspondent, who has
evidently been doing his duty conscien-
tiously, skirmishing around the dark
corners of the city, has found some re-
markable dancing halls, where Terpsi-
chore evidently delegates some Of her
distant relations to preside over the
festivities. "wne of the most extraor.
dinary of these balls" he writes, :is
that held in blind alley, and opposite
the shed where the guillotine is
housed the habitues are mostly the
graye-diggers belonging to Pere st.
Regnoul, Pere La Chaise cemetery, the
tombstone men, and the undertakers'
assistants. The proprietor of the place
is Spaniard, and his ability consists
in initiating the weeping of mourners,
and the orations delivered at civil inter-
ments. There is q ball that charges no
admission fee, but all who participate
in 'contre da,,se' have to pay two
sous each the proprietor, on the con.
olusion of the dance, encircles the
dancers with cord, and who pay the
fee to be liberated, and which also
serves as 6 moose to drag out recalci-
trants. Polkas, waltzes and mazurkas
are gratis, and short. The Monsters
also have their balls in the Rue des
Flandres; it is here where infant prod.
igies and all human phenomena meet !;
dancing is as general as quarreling, and
Jealousy of each others inaperfection
is the badge Of all the tribe. The
Skeleton Man indulges in can.can !;
man with q 'cupalo head waltzes with
woman bearded like the pard; in q
quadrille dwarf has for vis-a.vis the
woman with fish scales instead of skin;
kind of Milly- Christine united mula-
tre4ses browns or drown care in polka,
the 'Caoutohouc Man, has the power of
developing dromedary hump, as he
enjoys mazurka with Newfoundland
dog. A Cyclop, with his diamond eye,
acts as master Of the ceremonies"

Gen. Dawson, member from Western

Albert Gallatin's old home. He was
an admirable story-teller. | recall
somewhat sadly, now that he is gone,
how well he illustrated the laziness Of
q class of Virginians. The Story was
q part of congressional canvassing.--
On one occasion he got across the

of Virginia. He was in the midst of a
group around the tavern. While
treating and talking, a procession ap-
preached, like funeral. He asked
who was to be buried?

"Poor Jobv' sighed the general. He
was a good natured, good-fOr-nOthing,

caught and the squirrels he killed, but
mostly on the donations of his neigh
bors. $50 poor Job is dead, is he?"
"No, he amt dead zactly,i' said
they. g
+ "Not dead--not d. Yet you are 60

HFact Is, General, he has got too in
fernal, alfred lazy to live. We cant
afford him any more. He's got so lazy
that the grass began to grow over his
shoes-so everlastin' lazy that he put
out one of his eyes to save the trouble
of winkin' when out a gunnin'."
"But ,"says the General, "this must
not be. 1t will disgrace my neighbor-
hood. Try him while longer can't
you?" upAY R 8S
Cant; too late coffin cost 81 26.-
Must go on now."
About this time the procession came
up and halted, when the General pro-
posed, if they would let Job out, he
would send over a bag of corn. On
this announcement the lids of the cOf-
fin opened, and Job languidly sat up;
the cents dropped from his eyes as he

WHY SHE HADN'T WRITTEN
Within the last few days an old beggar
woman, having been admitted into
the kitchen of one of the most promi-

of her life. She said her husband went
to California to dig gold great many
years ago, but had never been able to
find more than enough to keep him.
self alive, so of course, he had never
sent her any; that, until within few
years, they had continually written
each other letters full of love and SYM
pathy. AT this point the food-gates
of her grief burst open she sputtered
and sighed at terrible rate, and
finally after several Intellectual efforts,
calculated that she had not heard
from, or even written to her darling
in long time. The old woman drew
a long breath, and was about 10 con-
tinue, when the lady of the house
asked her why she had not written to
her husband. "Ah, mum" sighed
she, "after I lest my front teeth l
couldn't pronounce very good, so l had
