A French Newspaper Office.

A Paris correspondent says, in de-
scrbing the office of the Figaro:
"Opening upon the grand gallery
that runs around the Spanish polio
or rotunda, are the rooms or halls
that lead to the rooms Of the various
employees. These are all furnished in
magnificent style, with rosewood fur
nlture, rich carpets, tapestry, bronzes,
and marble statues. Some rooms ac'
commodatc a single writer, others
two or three. The principal editor,
De Nillemessant, occupies small
room on the ground floor, to the
right OF the principal entrance. There
are also a richly furnished council,
in which all the literary force meet
each month; bed rooms, bath rooms
and breakfast and dining rooms-for
all the literary force of the paper,
save the editor-in-chief, eat, sleep, and
live in the building. There is also a
very large room whose sides are hung
with masks and glittering foils.
Each day at 2 O'Clock, all the en-
ployes assemble in this room to re-
ceive lessons in fencing from an ex.
pert. This is obligatory on each one
for the reason that each individual is
expected to hold himself in readiness
to call or be called to the field OF
honor at a moments notice. Any
hesitation in such a case would
secure the instant dismissal OF the
individual involved.

Erost.Bit Love.
Atlanta Constitution.

An Atlanta youth, gotten up in
the latest style, left West End car
and tripped across to a house where
little boy was sitting on the front
steps, whiting with Barlow
knife. The boy looked up and said:

"Why Charley, what's the mat

"Cause there's a feller what wears

what has to ride round in bob-tail-

How He Was Swindled.

He is a secondhand clothier and

was about the hour Of ten yesterday
morning when he reeled into an ad-

waved his hands into the tangled
locks of his gray hair, and, rocking
back and forth, moaned out:

"Just now man from the country
comes in and asks me how much for
dat. I tells him dree dollars; and
would you believe it, Moses, he puts
his hand right into his pocket and
pays the full price without a word"
Here he lowered his voice to the
lowest whisper-"So help me graci-
Gus, Moses l believe he'd paid me
five dollars just the same"
"Jacob, how you vas swindle your

"Dat vas vos makes me hate mine

And the old man limped back into
his own establishment, and doubled
all his goods at first call.

A Clever Ruse.

A Paris paper says: A gentleman
was seated before the Cafe Richie,
when young artist passed with a
companion.
"I will bet you," said the artist to
his friend, 81 will drink that gentle
mans coffee, and he will thank me
for doing it."
"You are crazy"
"You will sce'
"You know him, then"
"Come and see the proceedings
for yourself.'
Very solemnly they approached
the gentleman. "Sir," said the artist
Il am an inspector of the Board of
Health. IT l ask for coffee they
will give me without doubt a very
good cup, for they know me. You,
sir, whom they do not know, are
served like the rest Of the worl..
Will you permit me to taste your
coffee?"
"Certalnly," said the gentleman.
"This is really good. The Govern
ment has great care over the people.
The police cannot be too watchful
over the public health"
The artist drank the coffee, and
having finished it he said politely:
"They do this properly at this coye;
this is excellent coffee" He bowed,
and left the gentleman to pay for the
coffee he had not had, but profoundly
grateful for the care of the Govern
ment.

The chivalry of Shreveport, La,
seems abundantly able to sink their
prejudices and control their passions
when it is to their advantage to do
SO. TIL other day Senator West
visited that city, and was received
with great enthusiasm. Notwith-
standing he is Republican, and one
of the "infamous ring who are en-
deavoring to rivet fettcrs on our long
suffering people," the Shreveporters
met him with carriages, banqueted
him in grand style, serenaded him
with horrible brass band, all as a
kindness, however, and wound up by
getting jolly drunk and slobbering
over him rs if he had been one of the
elect. All this because he came to
talk about the prospects Of the
Southern p ,citic Railway, which it is
supposed would, if completed, in
crease the price of real estate in
Shreveport about 500 per cent
There wasn't word about his being
= blasted Radical, or "nigger lover"
or "enemy to the great State Of Louis
lana" They were proud to take his
hand, and never accused him once of
disgracing the State. Queer fellows,
these Shreveporters, with knack for
Disgusting their feelings truly Won

Tramos. and How to Deal With Them

Some of the village newspapers in
this State, says the Cincinnati Com
merc;ol, complain Of the number Of
"tramps" going from town to town,
asking for raiment, shelter and food,
and the proposition has been started
to call a convention of representatives
of all the cities and villages for the
adoption OF some uniform system of
dealing with them. Various expe-
dlents have been tried in European
cities, and some of our own; and that
which seems to be most favorably
received involves compensation in
labor for the relief afforded. The
tramps are given some kind of em.
ployment, which does not require
special skill, and work certain num-
Der of hours, or do required "task."
We see no reason why this system
should not be adopted. The profes-
sional tramp is fellow who shirks
labor, though he processes an intense
desire for it where there is no pros
pect that his desire will be gratified.
We recall wealthy farmer who liv-
ed on the post road between Cleve-
land and Pittsburg, when railroads
were comparatively rare in the West.
and who was plagued by tramps
passing to and from the cities. He
finally adopted the rule to give a
meal of victuals to any one OF them
who would saw certain amount OF
firewood; the task was not hard one
and an active man could get through
with it in ten or fifteen minutes. 1t
soon became known to the profession
ais that if they ate at that farmers
house they must work, and he was
not much annoyed after that. There
are always certain duties to be per-
formed about station-houses, city
buildings, ETC., for the doing Of which
men have to be hired. By employ
ing the tramps to perform them the
corporation might be relieved OF one
Item of expense, and at the same
time aid those Tho profess t" be on
the tramp becaus they can find moth
ing to do.

On u Woodward avenue Ca" yester.
day (says the Detroit free P'ess,) an
oldish man with a beakish nose and
hawkish eyes changed seats to get
beside woman about 80 years old,
and trying to smile tenderly he in,
quired:
"Would you be my duck?"
"W-h-a-t!" she exclaimed moving
away.
"Will you be my morning lark?"
he enou:red, smiling all over.
"Who are you, sir?" she gasped,
looking from him to the other two
passengers.
"Name's Woodruff, ma'am; and
will you be my sparrow"
"Protect me sir?" she asked of one
Of the passengers.
"If you say another word to that
lady I'll knock youl head Off" ex-
claimed the passenger, doubling his
fist.
"Not a wOrd-not another word" !"
replied the beak-nosed man, waving
his hand. eff she dosen't want to be
my jaybird that settles it, and she
can be an old maid and love a yellow
eyed parrot!"
And he settled back, wiped his
nose, and seemed sleepy.

ONLY A DOG.

TROY IN. " Press j..

| Troy N. j frees.
Last Thursday evening Eddie Ger.
rold, aged 9 years, of Newtonville, a
small hamlet, in the interior of Wat
ervliet, went into the woods in the
rear of his fathers to get some nuts.
As evening advanced he did not re-
turn, and his parents became anxious
and went in search of him, but fail
ed to find him. They continued
their search all day Friday, and on
the evening of that day returned
home tired and foot-sore, and almost
gave up the child as lost. About 9
o'clock on Saturday morning, as most
Of the residents Of the hamlet were
in Mr.. Gcrrold's house sympathizlng
with the family in the loss of their
child, Jack, a large Newfoundland
dog, that had been an attache of the
CARROLL family since he was month
old, entered and seemed uneasy and
kept whining and barking at inter-
walls. He was put outside the door
for disturbing the family, and after
remaining there for some time he ran
into a Mrs. Scovill's house next door
and grasped loaf of bread that the
lady of the house had put under the
stove, and ran off with it in his
mouth in til, direction Of the wood.
When Mr.. Scovill returned his wife
related the incident to him, and he
felt surprised, as Jack had always
maintained character for honesty.
He then related the incident to Mr..
Garrold. and the gentlemen felt pref
ty certain that the dog had some idea
of where the child was, and new
hope was inspired in the family and
they waited impatiently for dogs
return. Finally he did return, in
about an hour, and exhibited the
same uneasiness that was remarked
before. After trying various ruses to
attract the family to follow him to
the wood, he finally started in that
direction. More than half of the
residents Of the hamlet followed him.
He led through many winding paths,
until at last they reached a chestnut
grove. There they found the boy
lying under tree with his leg brok-
en-. The boy himself told the facts
Of the case substantially as follows:
He was upon the tree, and shaking
it with all his might to shake off the
nuts, when he lost his hold and fell,
his leg striking the ground with
force. He tainted and the first thing
that met his gaze when he came con-
scious was the dog standing over
him. This was on Friday evening,
and the dog never left his side, but
kept barking with all his might, until
Saturday morning. The pangs Of
hunger the boy felt pretty keenly by
this time, and he made an attempt to
reach some nuts that lay on the
ground a short distance from him.
When the dog observed this he start
ed off and returned in short time
with the loaf in his mouth, which he
deposi ed in the boys lap. He ate
OF it with relish and then became
lonesome and began to cry. The
dog started off again and this time
returned with his friends.

The Girl at Home.
New York Tribune.

|
old father dies and the shop or the
potatoes fail and the brother takes to
drink or marries or does not marry
because he must support his mother
and sister? The girl finds that she
is as pretty and pleasant an object as
ever, CHEEKY as the rose, gratis
When it comes to daily meals and
clothes she is by no means her own
excuse for being. She knows that
she was born to be wife and moth.
er but nobody wants to marry her.
She takes stock of herself; her capi.
tai is frightfully small to carry into
market. Her brother was educated
to earn his bread and butter. Be-
side the education, he had physical
strength, the habit Of friction with
the crowd, something which he him
self calls "cheek." Her cake-mak-
ing, Turkish embroidery, pressed
ferns, all 60 for nothing when she
comes to put money value on her
requirements; the chances are that
her knowledge of literature or music
is too general to fit her to teach. If
she should teach, her salary, exclu-
siye OF board, would not, nine cases
in ten, amount to a sum more than
sufficient to clothe her cheaply and
shabbily. If she goes into store as
"A saleswoman s e is paid less than
was the cook in her fathers kitchen;
and in both these occupations there
is no chance OF advance, no career
such as is ready for her brother in
every trade and profession, unless
she have great energy or skill in
trade, and the probability is that she
has not particle of either.
She is sure to try authorship, sends
poems and tales to magazines, with a
reqlest to know how much she can
make per annum if she perseveres.
They come back with thanks in big,
yellow envelopes. She goes out as a
book agent-sells chromos, silver
polish, Heaven knows what not. In
any case she has to "push her way"
sick at heart, at first shrinking from
every look or touch or word. Per-
llaps after a while she learns the bus
mess tact which comes to her brother
by nature, and gains even the desira-
bic "cheek" k"-most pitlable and woe
full OF all successes. There are many
trades, the lighter handicrafts, and
above all etching, wood-engraving
and lithography, with which, if she
had been taught, she could have earn
cd her living and renamed within
the shelter of home
As your own Nelly sets ont to
school this bright morning., i is well
to remember these things and to
make some provisions for her future
us for her brothers. There are many
chances that she must earn her own
living; let us begin now to put into
her ha DIS the tools by which she can
do it, and above all protect her III a
home while using them; keep alive in
her the modesty, the tenderness, the
beauty of the future wife and moth
er. In a business point of view, the
dewy fragrance Of the rose is worth
nothing; bus the poor girl, selling
her wares from door to door, with a
sick heart and face of brass, knows
what it is worth, and feels that she
lost with it the birthright of woman
hood.

A Corn.Shelling Match.

The tar-heel conventionist knows 4

shelling corn. The other evening a
strolling peddler had a newly-patent
ed corn-sheller hawking it about Ra
leigh, and was showing crowd on
the street how fast it could shell,
when an old member from the noun
tains walked up dressed in blue jeans
and a cob-pipe in his mouth, and he
said to the peddler:
Il can beat that thing shelling
corn myself"
"Well, sir" said the peddler, "I'll
give you machine for nothing il
You do it,"
"Good as wheat" says the conven.
zionist, and he searched over the pile
for red cob, made boy take it to
a fire and burn it little, and then,
squaring himself on the sidewalk, he
seized the red cob with regular old
plantation grip in one hand, while he
held the ear OF corn between both
legs with the other, and waited fol

the crowd, who held the watch to
time them.

they went.
But the little peddler was so ex
cited in the start that his shelter got
choked, and while he was scuffiine
to unchoke it the old member coolly
got up, and, pitching his halfshelled
ear into the pile, remarked to the
peddler:
II amt got the time to shell
against that thing, mister; it would
make me slow-motioned for life
and he stepped away lively, tn.

Mrs. Everett looked up as her son
entered the sitting room with these
words.
"Do you mean your uncle? Has
he not been to the office?"
"Not all day. Could any harm
have come to him?"
"No; hear his latch-key now"
A quick step across the hall, and
Gordon Doane was in the room his
face radiant, his lips smiling in per-
feet content.
"Hattle, little woman" he SAID,
''can you fix up rooms for new
family tomorrow"
"A new familyw

Hattie, woman-like, began to cry.

widow, with two children, a son three
years older than your Harry, and a

River, that stealest with such silent pace
Around the City OF the Dead, where lies
A friend who bore thy name, and whom these
eyes.
Shall see no more in his accustomed place,
Linger and fold him in thy soft embrace
And say good night, for the western skies
Are red with sunset. and gray mists arise
Like damps that gather on a dead mans face.
Good night! good night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight in the days
That more. and shall more return
Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone to bed;
stay little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.
