A yic,lmized Young Man.

An amusing story is told Of young
American gentleman who, while solotlril-
ing in Paris, invited two denoisclles to
accompany him to tho theater. He Sc
cured three seats, aud drove to tllcliousn
Of his fair friends, half hoping that one
was indisposed, so that his felicity might
be unbounded. The two were awaiting
him, aud their mother rs well, who
kindly invited herself TO chaperon the
party, and intimated tlat her daughters
could under no circumstancesgo without
her. There was no help for it. Tho
four crowded into the carriage. No
fourth seat could be obtained adjacent
to the three already secured, or even on
the same tier, and during three longncts
the three ladies' sat in q box, while our
young American gazcd at them withfeel-
ings rnutterable from his seat in theparr-
quette. The drama over, only cabs, with
room for two, cauld be obtained to con-
vey the party home. Here, then, was a
diiemma-which young lady should he
select as his cab companion : They were
both charming, and the matter was diff
cult to decide. The old lady settled 1t,
however, to her satisfaction, Il to tho
annoyance Of our now miserable co1lii-
tryman. "Hortenso and Sophie, you
20 in this cab. Monsieur and will fol-
low you in tho next" The young gen,
tleman now thinks TINT French social
customs arc barbarotis.

Selling Ills Rights.

A good story used to bo told Of the old
fashioned relations between masters and
servants in colonial times in New Eng
land. A gentleman in the neighborhood
OF Boston hired farm servant, to whoa
ho became much attached because Of his
fidelity and tlioroughness in NIL kinds Of
work. But one habit OF the servant
was very offensive. He kept his hat on
in the house, and even in his masters
room.
Tho gentleman, after long annoyance,
determined to correct the habit.
" JOHN" said he, kindly, ono day,
"you always keep your hat on when you
come into tho house"
"Wcll, sir, haven't 1 a right tot"
eyes, suppose you have" was the
reluctant reply.
"Well, then, why shoulln'tIi"
This the gentleman was not prepared
10 answer, 80 lie determined on another
limo Of attack.
"Now, John, wlnt will you take-how
much more wages will you ask to take
your hat of when you come inp
"Well, that requires consideration, 1
"Tako it into consideration, tllen, md

In the morning John presented him

John was satisfied. He Ind maintain

consideration.

yiylsectiOn Of a Horse.

A contemporary, says the London
Echo, contains n description from m
eyewitness which exceeds in pitifulness
oven Bewick's well known woodcut Of
The old horse "Waiting for Death. "
This is wliat Mr.. james says he saw in
New York: Having managed, by the
help Of u bribe to the negro attendant,
to obtain an inspection Of an under
ground place where cats and other AMI
mails were subjected to all sorts Of OK
periments, u rustling Of strnw in the
iurthest compartment attractel my at,
tention. Scarce one ray Of light pierced
tho gloom Of tint horrible place, but 1
thought I could distinguish tho huge
form OF some large quadruped restlesaly
treading the straw under its feet.
Why, boss, what have you got there?"
Said /. "0h, that's poor old Uncle
Sam; never mind him, replied the iani.
tor. "But 1 do mind him, and 1 mean
to 500 him" answered; and he opened
large shutter, and let in the light of
tho closing evening upon the gatlnt and
bony form Of poor horse, quito seven
teen hands high, which stood with
dropping head and closed eyes, munch-
Ing the straw Of itsbed. Hew scared
all over, and I could traco upon his skin
where arteries Ind been taken up and
tied again; where the nerves had been
brought TO the surface and the wounds
sewn up; and the delicate nostrils were
sloughfng sores. The hoofs, containing
the most delicate and sensitive meclan-
ism, had been perforated in many places.
And this is yivisectionl
We must say tlat Mr.. Hart's efforts TO
clear American psychologists from what
he styled the "cruel calumnies con-
tanned in n recent memorial, have hardly
proved altogether successful. Mr. Rog-
ors (the eminent dentist, and ono Of tile
governors Of ST. Bartholomew's Hos
pital) lias written to the Spectator
quoting two "annual announcements
81 colleges in New York and Philadel-
phia, promising yivisections asan attrac-
ton to students, and now q recent visitor
to the country gives us glimpse Of what
lie has seen there with his own eyes.
Mr.. Hart's argument TINT American
cannot possibly DO sup
posed to practice any cruel experiments,
because they vehemontly deprecate legal
interference, was scarcely to DO estimated
aS finally conclusive.

How to Fix lilo Clock.

When the clock stops, do not take II

as follows: Take OF the pointers and
the face; take off the pendulum and its
wire. Remove tho ratchet from the

down with great velocity; let 1t go; the
increasing speed wears away the gum

CRIME IN NEW YORK.


Between November II, 1873, and DC.
tober 81, 1874, S4,S21 prisoners were ar.
raigned before the elevon police justices
presiding over the six police courts in the
City of New York. The numberis nearly
Identical with that in 1871. These pris,
Oners consisted Of 60, males and "a,
COS females. Tllonumber summarily dis.
charged, either from alleged blundors
made by the police failing to obtain ovi,
donce, or from complainants neglecting
TO prosecute, was 35, 1896.
OF the total Of 49,25l held upon some
charge, after deducting five cases pend
ing when tho year closed, 16,3l5 were
males and 81, ,9Os were females. The OK.
cess OF females over males is accounted
for by the fact that by far the larger
number OF females arrested were charged
with intoxication and disorderly CON
duct, involving offenses against public
lecency.
The evil spirit OF intoxication 90.
counts for 40,777, nearly half the total
number Of arrests. Over 1000 Of these
were also charged with lisorderly con-
duct" OF the totnl number arrested
Cor being drunk, q, ,20S were males and
1854 females. These figures, however,
do not represent accurately the city's in
temperance, because "intoxicatiOn, I'M
der the law, is not mn oftenso unless the
person is arrested in M intoxicated state,
under circumstances amounting to VIC.
lation of public decency." OF those ar-
rested for intoxication, 17,GH were dis
charged and 23,113-14,1 1856 males and
S,027 fomales-were convicted.
The charge Of disorderly conduct nc.
counts for 2O,G03 arrests-of whom 49,.
sos were males, and Z, 1876 females. Thus
intoxication and disOrdorly conduct
formed tho occasion Of OF, ,470 arrests,
or seventy-two aud one-hnlf per cent. OF
the entire criminal calendar Of tho year.
OF those arrested for disordorly conduct,
1000 were discharged, and theremaindei
furnishing bonds for good behavior, pay.
ing fine, or in default of tho latter,
going to prison. Tho convictions son
the two charges Of intoxication and dis
orderly conduct represent about seventy
one per cent. Of tho cntire convictions.
The nationalities OF persons convicted is
somewhat inpcrfcctly known, rs out OF
those convicted Of intoxication 0, 100 are
credited to ireland, 1857 to Germany,
and 1881 to the United Suites, and 6,Sl0
arc under the head OF "not given. +"
Again, under convictions for disortlerly
conduct, 4,056 arc credited to Ireland,
8, ,072 to the United States, and 1,1S9 to
Germany, but 0, Ole come under the head
"not given" Taking the oiIenses which
rank next to those cited for arrests, mr.
sarllt and battery accounts for G,254,
moro thRn hhlf Of whom were discharged
petit larceny, 4,319 cases, 1,674 dis
missed; vagrancy, 3,139 persons, 274 be-
ing discharged, and grand larceny caused
1913 arrests, OF whom 800 were dis
charged. linking the two general divis-
ions Of crimes nlnking as felonics aud
those classed as misdemeanors, the
former accounts for 4,G21 arrests, ABB
being males and 400 females. Charges
Of misdemeanor, 1926 arrests, 1O,579

Tho United States bounty Bill.

The following arc tho reasons given by
President Grant for yetoing the Soldiers
Bounty bill:
First-Tlat 1t appropriates from the
Treasury large sum Of money at time
when the revenue is insufficient for cur
rent wants; and this proposed further
drain on tho Treasury by the issue OF
bonds authorized by this bill to q very
large and indefinite amount would sort'
ousiy einbafrass tho funding operations
now progressing, whereby the interest
Of the bonded debt Is being largely re-
duced.
seoond-I do not believe that any con-
siderable portion Of the ex.soldicrgg, who
IL Il supposed will be beneaciarics OF
this appropriation. are applicants for it;
but ra'her Il would result more In q
measure for tho relief Of claim agents or
middle mon, who would intervene to
collect or discount tho bountes granted
by II. The passage Of this bill at this
time Is inconsiltent with the measures OF
economy now demanded by the country

In Augusta, Maine, no provision has
been made this winter for feeding and

there:
"wo only lodge prisoners, " said the

dYou only lodge prisoners, repeated
tho yagabond, meditatively.
"That's Rll," was the reply, "you
have got to steal something, or assault
"I'yo got to assault somebody, or
something of Tint kind, again repeated
the yagabond, thoughttully. Then he
reached across the desk with his right

Tho proprietor seated him in ordinary
chair. Being seated ho was lathercd.
The barber then, after rummaging in n
chest, produced what must havo been the
father of all razors, and commenced
stropping it vigorously. The customer,
half blinded by the soap, seeing him
the small scythe, asked what llo
was going to do with it, and when told
TINT he was going to shave him with II,
said le wouldn't be shaved by any such
thing, and hastily rising, seized n towel,
wiped lis facc and loft the shop.
