A Printers Happy New Year.


BY HENRY ST. JOHN.
Once more the circle is complete
Our takes are growing less;
4 ase,c edition of cid Time
Has Just been sent to press.
We trust the errors may be less
Than in the last we read;
And every rule be better kept,
And much more clear the head.
May every line be justified
No item may we lose;
And may we all the time be sure
To mind our p's and q's! :.
And let us not get out of sorts,
When jobs don't please the eye;
Nor stick bodkia in our forms
When matters go to pi.
May each Impression we strike off
Be better than our last,
And from the ndtfi1 of the heart
No useless font be cast.
May we be palmer in our ways,
And fairer all along;
And rather be ourselves upset,
Than set up what is wrong.
In cose that \ should have to stand
And proue what we have said,
May we not use shooting stick
Or throw away our lead.
But may we keep an upright face,
And shame the wretched knaves
Who try to rob us our good names,
Like deuars galley slGces.
May we have qaoin enough to chase
Away each anxious care,
And so shall prove the next to be
The happiest New Year.

The Tiger the King of Beasts.

Samuel Haughton, author OF work
on ''Animal Mechanics, writes to Ma
ture of the strength Of the lion and the
tiger: ST have proved that the strength
of the lion in the fore limbs is only
500 per cent. of that of the tiger, and
that the strength of the hind limbs is
only 69.5 per cent. of that of the tiger,
I may add that five men can easily
hold down lion, while it requires nine
men to control a tiger. Martial also
states that the tigers always killed the
lions in the amphitheatre. TIE lion is,
in truth, a pretentious huMDug, and
owes his reputation to his imposing
name, and he will run away like whip
ped cur under circumstances in which
The tiger will boldly attack and kill.

the iirst opportunity of challenging his
guest for an opinion, with sly look at
some friends as if he WAS bound to show
how failacIous were judgments in wine
tasting.
"Say, my dear Beeswing, you don't
tell me what you think of the wine

Beeswing looked at the glass without
raising it, and quietly said, mo-"
Well, now, !" said the host, ct wish.

opinion of that wine, Beeswing."

catingly, ED rather not

OF the wine while partaking of the

the roots OF his hair at this unexpected
reply. "Watered You're mistaken:
taste it again
!" Yes, watered, " said Beeswing, taking
another sip and setting his glass down
upon the table.
Well, now, look here, BeeswiDg, my
boy, for once in your life you are mis-
taken, for my father bought two casks
Of that wine abroad; it came home In
the same ship with him; and it was
unloaded opposite his warehouse on
India wharf under his eye; and
hoisted up into loft over his own
countlng-room, where after a few
months rlpening he had a man come
and bottle it under his own super
vision; he then sent it up to his own eel
lar, which since his decease has come
into my possession, and his seal on the
bottle is that which is broken tonight.
So acknowledge, my dear Beeswing,
that you are mistaken about its being
watered wine.
Can't acknowledge anything of the
kind SAID the obstinate Beeswing.
F" 1t remember your fathers importa-
ton OF that wine very well, Charley
Van Blank, John Magnun,
and myself were your fathers
clerks at that time and we bad a good
many surreptitious drinks out of those
casks while the liquor was ripening in
the loft, and always took care when
ever we drew out any to turn back the
same quantity of water, so that the
measure might not fall short. You see

An ObstrnSiye Bird.

Friday afternoon, we'll bred and ex-
ceedingly digniied young lady of this
city, entered a florists to make pur-
chase, when she was accosted as follows
by a shrill voice resembling that of
an aged lady:
shut the door; don't you know any
better? It's cold outside"
Very Euch overcome with motifca-
ton and embarrassment, she looked
about for the speaker, saying, Pardon
me, madam, but tie wind blew so, 7
could hardly close the door,
don't do it again." repeated the voice,
young lady discovered that she had
been conversing with well educated
and certainly very familiar poll parrot.
Annoyed at the bird for deceiving her
SO, the young lady turned her back to
the cage and was intent upon e1anin-
ing some flowers. Suddenly the same
voice, or what seemed to be, said to
her,
What can I do for you, Miss ?"
g IF you hold your tongue shall be
gratiie9 above all things" replied the
young miss, turning around as she
spoke, and discovered the lady proprie-
tor standing in her presence. The de-
movement was surprising. Buffalo

As ST was coming up town from the

From the Rocky Mountain News

There used to be man, around here
particularly around the theater-
named Keen. He was boss of the din
ing-room boys at the Broadway House,
and belonged to one of the hose COM
panies. He joined local dramatic
club, and played old man parts in sew
eral performances, and had the stage
fever bad. In those days Keen looked
little seedy, but he never forgot that
he was a gentlemen, and his chums
used to hint that his folks were very
rich. Well, Keen got money enough to
take him away, and now it transpires
that his father, widely-known and
successful hotel keeper, died in Louis
queathing this same boy the snug for
tune Of $25O,OO0. IF Keen will come
back here now, we viii guarantee that
he will have more friends than he had
before.

4 STRANGE STORY.
One Born of Noble Parents Becomes AVIAN

is Crowned Their King for Life.

OGrtr With UuSKV Ir1De OF OEpS1ees anG
is Crowned Their King for Life.
From the Oakland News, November 20.
At the beginning of the present
century there lived in Devonshire,
England, noble family Of ancient lin
cage, named Carew. Sir Bamfeld
Carew, the then head of the house, had
an only son, the heir to his large estates.
This son was carefully nurtured at
home, and thoroughly educated in the
first schools of the kingdonl-ftted, and
fully prepared to occupy the station
fortune had designed for him. After
leaving college he evinced certain traits
of character which caused his
father great anxiety, manifest
ing such desire for a
vagabond life that measures were taken
to place restraint upon him, but to no
purpose. He would absent himself for
weeks at time, and wander about the
country poorly clad and often destitute
OF funds, until finally he fell in with a
band Of rowing gipsies with whom he
fraternized. Among them was young
woman, famed throughout che land for
her beauty, and though untutored as
she was, the daughter of wandering
vagrant and an outcast from society, he
married her and soon became popular
with his new associates, they making
him king; and for many years he
reigned over all the tribes Eng
land, and under the title of Bam
field Moor Carew, King of the Gipsies.
Becoming endeared to them, decree
was enacted creating him King for life.
after which the office was to become
obsolete. This man left numerous
family, whose descendants are found
in every State of Europe. One of these,
a grandson, emigrated to Australia some
ten years ago, but becoming dissatisfied
with that country went to Oregon, and
finally about two years ago came to Cal
ifornia, and now resides in Oakland. At
the corner Of Railroad avenue and Mil
ton street may be seen band of indi-
viduals, numbering perhaps 20, living
IN tents, IN the veins of whose body
flows not only the blue blood of one
OF England's noble families, but the
royal blood of the last Gypsy King. He
may be seen any day on our streets
drawing peculiarly fashioned machine,
stopping occasionally at the gates of
our citizens in search of knives or scis-
sors to grind, while on Sundays and
holidays the tents are thronged with the
youth of both sexes eagerly consulting
the dusky sibyls as to their future. The
men of the band employ themselves in
various itinerant trades about town. and
have thus accumulated money enough
to purchase the lot of land on which
they live, and intend soon to erect
building for their better accommodation.

Mrs. Sniffles's Failure.


Mrs. Sniffles has had more trouble
with Lycurgus, and has been strength
ened in the belief that he is totally un-
like other men-in fact, teetotally un-
like many of them. He had been on a
long sober stretch up to couple of
weeks ago. About that time he learn
ed that his only aunt, rich old lady in
st. Louis, had died and left him an i'm
mense fertune-to get, if he could.
This was sore disappointment to our
friend, for he expected to be made a
rich man by the death of this (once-re-
spected relative. Never was the news
of aunt's death read with more poignant
grief by surviving kin. A postscript to
the letter conveying the sad intelli-
ger ce stated that the good old soul had
bequeathed her entire wealth to be-
aevolent institution. This was the
rusty rod of iron that pierced his soul,
and made murky the fountain of hope.
He tore the letter to pieces and bent his
faltering steps to the nearest saloon,
He drank-he fell.
Mrs. S. was in despair. She had
thought his reformation was complete,
and now the old man was drunk
again. with no sign Of ever letting up.
Finally she bethought her of the sys-
tenn in vogue at certain inebriate asy-
lums-that of mixing liquor with every
article Of food until the patient ac-
quires a lasting distaste for alcohol.
She determined to try that plan on Ly-
curgus.
She procured a gallon of che worst
whisky to be had, and put some OF it in
the old mans coffee, to begin with. It
has been his unvarying custom to drink
but one cup at a meal. That night he
passed his cup back to be reflled; say
ing as he smacked his lips.
Better coffee 'nusual, old gal. .
Next morning she increased the dose.
He drank three cups, and fell from his
chair as he was reaching for fourth.
He slept until noon, and went cut to
dinner. There. was beef soup and
whisky-half and half. Snif1es ate it
all, and said, as he wiped his month:
"You're git'n to be better cook'n
anybody, m'dear. But you didn't make
soup huff. y
At supper everything was saturated
with whisky, and Snifies ate until he
became helpless, and his wife had to
drag him to bed.
The gallon of whisky was soon gone,
and the only change that Mrs. Snifles
noticed in her husband was that while
it lasted he came to his meals with
greater regularity than usual.
She is'not the woman to give up any
thing without fair trial. She got
another gallon; and came near starving
herself to death while she fed it to
Snif1es in everything that he ate and
drank. His appetite increased at a
fearful rate, and he complimented her
every day on her newly acquired skill
in cooking.
The second gallon soon went the way
of;the first, and, after two or three meals
had passed without the seasoning OF
which Snifhes had become SO fond, he
said, in tones that would have touched
the heart of a tax-collector:
Mnander, dear, the vittles don't
taste near as good as they used ter.
Seems to be somethin' oc 'nuther miss
ing"
Is it any wonder that the poor woman
gave up in despair
