A HANDSOME YOUNG MAN TALKS WITH A
DEAF CASHIER IN A RESTAURANT.
From the Burlington Hdpkeyel
People have noticed that one OF the hand
soonest young men in Burlington has sud-
denly grown bald, and dissipation is attribu-
ted as the cause. All, no; he went 20 a church
sociable the other week, took three charming
girls out TO the refreshment table, let them
eat all they wanted, and then found he had
left his pocketbook at home, and the deaf
man that he had never seen before at the
cashiers desk. The young man, with his
face afame, bent down and SAID softly:
II am ashamed TO say 1 have no change

on a little louder key, "that have unIortu-

people were crowding up behind him. impa-

cried. gleefully. "Bleeged TO We, 'bleeged TO

"Oh, yes, plenty of fun" the deaf man re-
piled, growing tired OF the conversation and

time TO talk about it now. Please settle and

But the young man gasped out, 81 have

giggling and chuckling audibly.

81 can't pay!" the youth screamed, and by
turning his pocket inside out and yelling his
poverty TO the heavens he finally made the
deaf man understand. And then he had to
shrek his full name three times, while his
ears fairly rang with the half-stifci laughter
that was breaking out all around him, and
he had to scream out where he worked, and
roar when he would pay, and he couldn't get
the deaf man to understa him until some

friend, made IL all right with the cashier

A MAsToDoN FouND.-The skeleton OF a
mastodon has been found at Centre Lisle,
BroOme county. The Binghampton Republi-
can thus speaks of IL: "Last Saturday Hiram
Milan set some men TO work TO dig a ditch
arcand barn. In prosecuting the work
they came upon what they supposed to be q
log, but soon found that by picking 1t that il
was ivory. They finally took out piece OF
tusk about two feet long, which measured
twanty-one inches in circumference. After
digging little further they took out another
piece OF tusk seven feet In length. The tip
was gone. 1t is believed that the tusk was
nine feet long when the animal died. A nip
bone, three feet long and weighing sixty
pounds, was taken out, also knee-cap four
teen inches In diameter, q rib five feet long,
and sections of great back bone which for
merly contained marrow seven Inches in
diameter. Mr.. Millen, after taking out

Ia VERY ANCIENT WALL IN MISSISSIPPI.
About eighteen miles from Port Gibson, and
one mile from Brandywine Springs, on the
place Of Mr.. O'Quin, the existence Of great
number OF blocks OF cut stone has been known
for an indefinite time, and the people in the
nelghbOrhood have used them for props for
their houses. Mr.. James Gage, jr., went out
there a few days ago TO explore, and had q
specimen stone brought into town. 1t is
about three feet long, by about twenty inches
square, resembling In shape q bar OF soap. IL
is probably q native sandstone. Mr.. Gage
took this block himself from beneath the
roots OF large pine tree 1t formed a por-
tion of q wall about twenty feet broad on the
| top, which Mr.. Gage traced for distance OF
two hundred and nifty yards. The inference
that one would naturally draw from this SUI
perdcial view 10 that this must have been a
city wall, but deep exploration might show
IL 10 be portion OF q fort, temple or other
building. Anyway, its antiquity is probably
immense, antedating the history OF the red
