Strange Coincidence.

1t will be remembered that a rascal
named Van Wagner took for his
wife a daughter of Judge Thomas G.
Ashburn, of Batavia, several months
ago. Their bridal trip was made to
this city, and during their sojourn here
they visited all the public institutions,
included the Penitentiary, in company
with State Senator Keer, of Batavia.
While being shown through the pr.
son, their guide pointed out the famous
cell No. IA, in which the great guerilla
chieftain, john Morgan, was confined
during his captivity; whereat the brides
groom remarked, "When | am sent nm

JARVIS AND THE FUNERAL.

There is story related of Jarvis, the
distinguished painter, to the effect,
that, walking down Broadway, one
day, he saw before him dark.lookine
foreigner, bearing under his arm a
small red cedar cigar~box. He stepped
Immediately into his "wake," and
whenever he met friend which was
once in two or three minutes, for the
popular artist knew everybody, he
would beckon him with wink to ssfall
into line behind. By and by, the
man turned down one of the cross
streets, followed closely by Jarvis and
his ''tail." Attracted by the measured
tread of so many feet, he turned around
abruptly, and, seeing the procession
that followed in his footsteps, he ex-
claimed: "What for de debble is dis !?
What for you take me, eh 2 What for
you So much come after me, chs "Sir,'
exclaimed jarvis, with an air of pro
found respect, "we saw you going to
the funeral alone with your dead infant
and we took the opportunity to offer
you our sympathy, and to follow your
babe to the tomb" The man ex-
planned in his broken manner, that the
box :only contained cigars, and he
evinced his gratitude, for the interest
which had been manifested in his
lehalf, by breaking them open and dis
] ensing them very literally to the
nourners. -Scribne,'s Monthly

Finger Nails.

The nails Of the human hand have a
language oftheir own, and the manner
OF keeping them is eloquent.
Some keep long and pointed, like
"reminiscences Of claws; some pare and
trim and scrape and polish up to the
highest point Of artificial beauty; and
others, carrying the doctrine of nature
to the outside limit, let them grow
wild, with jagged edges, broken tracts,
and agnails or "back feiend" as the
agonizlng consequences. Sometimes
you see the most beautiful nails, pink,
transparent, filbert shaped, with the
delicate flmy little 'shalf.moon" indl-
Gated at the base-all the conditions Of
beauty carried to perfection, but all
rendered of no avail by dirt and sloven
illness; while others, white-ribbed
square, with no halt moon, spotted
like so many circus horses with 'gifts'
and friends and the like-that is
without beauties, and with positive
blemishes-are yet pleasant to look al
for the care bestowed upon Thorn, theil
dainty perfection of cleanliness being a
charm in ITSELF Nothing indeed, lis
more disgusting than dirty hands and
neglected nails, as nothing gives one
such sense Of freshness and care as
the same members well kept.

LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

fThe following POEM written by Mary
Il. Kroat, Of Charlottesville, Ind, ten
years ago, when its author was in her
thirteenth year, is one Of the most beanti-
full and expressive ever pehned in the
English language, and should find place
throughout the length and breadth Of
America wherever the dignity of iahol is
recognized:l
They drive home she COWS from the
pasture,
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the
wheat field
That is yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarlet Tipped strawbe rry
grows,
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson bud of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather the cider bloom white,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
IN the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest.
And are sweeter than itay7s wines,
They know where the fruit hangs the
thickest,
On the long. thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles of sand !;
They pick up the beautiful sea-sheIls,
Fairy banks that have drifted to land,
They wave from the tall rocking tree
tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest sw lngs
And at night time are folded. in slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest ::
The humble and poor become great;
And from those brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of State.
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of the land,
The sword and chisel and palette,
Shall be held in the little brown-hand

HANDWRITING.

When we look at the travellers book
in foreign hotel we pick out at II
glance the writing Of the prominent
nationaliticS; we form an instructive
guess as to the relative proportions of the
English and American guests; and we
Mt once form prejudice Tor or against
people in regard to whom we have no
other sources of knowledge. One diff
ference. indeed is conspicuous enough in
tins case All Americans appear to an
Eng,i,hman to write precisely the same
hand, whether on the same principle that
makes all negroes alike TO white man
and all sheep alike to every one but
shepherd or whether there is really a
greater uniformity of writing. We are
inclined TO think that the last is to great
extent true. The sight of travellers
book is equivalent to an essay of De
Tocqucvilie's upon the leveing intlueu-
ccs OF Democracy. In the infinite vari-
ETY. Of English hands you see every class
of society represented; the bold round
hand of the bagman il varied with the
delicate spider lines Of the lady, and
the dashing scrawl OF the sportsman;
iudicious compromise between formal
ity and self assertion indicates the trav-
cling statesman, and II hopelessly unin-
tellyible confusion Of scratches and
blotchcs intallibly shows the profession
al author. American hands, on the con-
trury. all seem to have been turned
out of one mold. and that the CONNER
cia. They would be irreproachable
hands for clerk wishing to conduct
the correspondence of u respectable firm;
but Englishmen are generally inclined
to think that they are wanting in deli
cacy and personal character. We must
admit, however, that the Americans have
the best of the argument. The first and
most essential quality of good hand
writing is that it should be legible, as
the first quality OF style Is that it should
be lucid. In that respect there can be
no dolbt that the Americans have the
advantage of Us, whether there excel
lcncc be owing to their system of educa-
ton or to some more impalpable correla-
ton between the national character and
the organization Of their fingers The

The Price. of boiling Abroad.

The Prices OF Boiling Abroad.
There is nothing new that can be
gained in regard TO the di iferences
between the puddlsrs and the manu-
facturers. Each side is endeavoring to
show the justice of ITS claims, and it was
reported yesterday that an agreement
had been made on 50 % per ton, but
this is more than the puddlers ask, and
Of course the report must be received
with due allowance. The next meeting
of the Conference Committees is to be-
held on Tuesday, December 9TH.
The Iper7caH MmulacfWrcr Of this
week in speaking Of the recent meeting
of the committees has this to say III
reference to the prices Of pudding and
vouchcs for the correctness of the figures:
The report of the result presented
showed that something like 100 mills had
been heard from-but all rail mills, except
those that made merchant iron also, were
! excluded, as were all mills that were
idle or were stopped by reason of labor
difficulties. This left 81 mills, and at
these the average price for boiling, IN
| Guiding what was paid from the offices,
and making no allowance for charcoal
:ron, was 81 45, and for pudding So 81.
The highest price paid for boiling was
s. 40, including fifteen cents per ton
from office, but this was all charcoal
iron, which, according to the practice in
this city. is worth S per ton more than
common iron. At tho mills paying this
price the men have been notified that
they must accept Il reduction, The table
also showed that one mill in Philadel-
phia was still paying 50 so, but this has
been reduced to IS, and will be still
/ further reduced. The lowest price for
boiling was ut a New England mill, 50 So
with no extras The highest price for
pudding was q So This WAS for all
charcoal iron for plate. The lowest
price for pudding was 50 so"
The puddIcrs. however, claim that the
Mautacarcr is the organ OF the mill
owners and it must be confessed that its
sympathics tend that way.-Pittsbwyh

4 DcS Muincs paper tells of an old
farmer who was going west on train
that was nearing ColtaX, and did not go
\ couple of playful fellows got on at II
WAY station aud turning over seatback
sat down right in front of the farmer.
One of them throwing an overcOat over
his knees began doing some foolish
tricks with three cards-foollsh because
thcy were so plain to the cd farmer and
the poor fellow was fool enough to bet on
them losing his money to the other fell

sat down beside the farmer, and while

marked the winning card as 1t lay on
his lap. That was a sweet soft thing.
The result was the old farmer riSked
$500, all the money he had o. the GER
tainty of being able to pick out that card.

put $500 IN his pocket as easy as finding
it.

and said he was dead broke, and could

A 500 bill into his hand very kindly
to keep him quiet for a few minutes.
The three young men got OF the tram at
the next stopping place aud the farmer
remained in Colfax to tell his puliuI
story. He will have to go back home,
and take another start west year or two
hence when his fortune is uended. IL
is somewhat astonishing that these un-
sophisticated old fellows don see 1t IN

depot. But they don't, and every fresh
one must be a psychological wonder 10

that everything has been done for the
