A gentleman is just gentleman no

gentleman is gentle. A gentleman is

A gentleman is slow to take offense,
as being one who never gives it. A

WHAT WOULD BE TBE EFFECT !
The Probable Influence in This Country
of General War in Europe.

The Probable influence in This Country
of a General War in Europe.
In regard to the prospects of general
war in Europe and it's influence on the
markets and commerce in this country,
the New York Daily Bulletin, a leading
financial paper, says
AS to the financial bearings of the
war, the way in which the news was
taken yester lay by Wall street shows
that something has been learned by past
experiences. It has been found that the
outbreak of war in Europe disturbs our
exchanges only momentarily, and that
one of it's sure effects is to create a
preference for American investments as
the least subject to sympathy with the
fuctuating political influences. The
great uncertainty that must surround
the issue of the European governments,
under the danger that exists of the war
assuming European dimensions, is CAL
culated to induce very important de-
mand for United States bonds and for
the best of our corporate mortgages, and
it would not be surprising to see this
effect soon appearing. In short, Ameri-
can credit in all its forms will stand at
an advantage at London as compared
| with that of other countries, and fair
movement III whatever depends upon
our credit may be expected to result.
Financial interests are likely TO be also
quickened by certain amount of specu-
l.tive business produced through fuctu-
atoms in values and greater activity in
certain interests. Railroads will be
benefited by freer movement in our
exportable products, and the shipping
trade will derive an advantage from the
increased shipments of the bulkier COM
modities. Upon the whole, therefore,
we may anticipate all appearances of a
more active movement In general trade,
and more buoyant tone in some inn
portant markets, but nevertheless it
would be a great mistake to suppose
that we can be enriched in the long
run from what impoverishes the rest of
the world with which we have CONNER
cial intercourse"

Nerve of a Mortified Robber.

Chadwell, one of the men killed while
attempting to rob the Mortified Bank,
is undoubtedly the same man who worked
in the tin and lead mines near this place
two years ago. He was regarded here
as a desperate character. 70 illustrate
his recklessness and daring, it is related
that on one occasion he, in company
with another miner, got on a spree, and
while standing around fire Chadwell's
partner picked up fall key OF blasting
powder and deliberately threw it on the
blazing fire. Caldwell very coolly
slapped him over, and then snatched the
key of powder from the flames and
threw it in the ditch. This circumstance
is well known to many of our citizens.

THE DEVIL AND THE LAWYERS.

The devil came up to the earth one day,
AND 1nto the court he wended His way
just as the attorney, with very grave face,
mas proceeding to argue the points in case.
Now, lawyer His Majesty never had seen,
fcr IN MS d0InnioDs none ever mad been,
And he feit very anxious the reason to know
Why none mad been sent to the regions below.
Twas the fault of his agents. His Majesty thought,
Ihat none OF these lawyers had ever been caught
And Tor his own pleasure he felt desire
To come TO the earth and the reason INQUIRE
Well, the lawyer who rose, with visage so grave
Made out his opponent consummate knaye
And Satan felt considerably amused
To hear the attorney SO badly abused.
But as soon the speaker had come to a close
The counsel opposing him fiercely Rose,
And heaped such abuse on the head of the first
That made him villain of all men the worst
Thus they quarreled, commended and argued SO long
twas hard to determine which of them was wrong:
And concluding he'd heard enough of the fuss,
Old Nick turned away and soiloquized thus:
They've puzzled the courts with their villainous
cAvil,
And I'm free to confess it, they've puzzled the
devil.
My agents were right to let lawyers alone,
Ii had them they'd swinde me out of my throne

There is an artesian well in Cambria
county, Pa, which was bored some ten
or twelve years ago by parties seeking
oil. At the depth of $50 feet stream
of water and gas was struck, which has
been boiling out ever since in considera-
BILE quantities. The water is very cold
and cleansing, and assumes the appear
ance of milk wien stirred up in the tub
in which it boils. By inverting box
over it, with hole bored at the top, the
gas passes out and can be lighted, burn
ing two colors, yellow and blue.

Music i'm the Harem.

Felicien David, recently deceased,
spent five years in the East. While he
was at Cairo Mahomet Ali engaged him
to teach the piano to the women of his
harem. Felicien David gladly accepted,
for he was extremely poor, and besides
his imagination was infamed by the
thought of seeing the beauties of the
East. He went to the harem. The chief
of eunuchs received him. The chief was
attended by four other eunuchs, as splen-
did specimens of Nubian negroes as
could be seen. The chief of eunuchs
said To Felicien David, speaking in his
shrillest treble voice: sc Would you be
good enough to begin the lesson at
once 2" Felicien David answered: +" Will
ingly. Where are the ladies 2" The
chief of eunuchs became furious.
" What, dog of a giaour, do you expect
to be introduced into the presence of the
wives of His Highness? You must
give the music lessons to u.s." "To
you r. eyes, to MS. Teach us as you
would have taught the ladies and we will
repeat the lesson to them" It was III
vain Felicien David told the chief of
eunuchs that he could not teach music
in that way, and as the chief OF the Gu
nuchs weuld not consent to any other
method Felicien David was shown the
door. - Paris Letter.

The Danger of IGNORANCE.

A gentleman proceeding leisurely
along Munson street, Saturday after
noon, says the Danbury NesOs, heard
groans proceed from the rear of house.
He stepped back to see if he could be OF
help to any one in distress, when he met
with most singular spectacle. A very
large man, short in the neck and red in
the face, was on his back on the grass,
while woman with sharp features OF
an acid cast was holding him down by
his collar.
"What on earth is the matter 2" cried
the astonished stranger.
ssNothin's the matter" retorted the
woman, in a sharp voice. "Only the
old fool thinks he knows what kind of a
scarf shall wear, an Tn going to show
him he don't; an outsiders better look
out for their own hair"
The stranger precipitately retired,
deeply affected by the progression of the
age.

the time the coin found its way to the

gazed at Orion until they were wild,
