Nothing to Live For:

A negro planter came to Vicksburg
the other day, sold his cotton, put his
money in his pocket-book and started
down the river. Leaning too far over
the guards, as the boat backed out, he
fell overheard. His porte-monnaie,
which was in his side-pocket, foated
out and rode with his hat on the sur
face of the water, while the current
carried the negro away. The yawl was
lowered, and assistance at once started
towards the drowning man, who, per-
ceiving his treasure floating off, raised
his voice and shouted: q
"Save dat pocket-bo I"
His head went under and he disap-
peared. As he rose up again, he
gasped: .d.
ssDar's S11S in dat pocket-book!'
Scarcely had he uttered the words
before he sank second time.
The yawl came within reach just In
time to rescue the drowning African as
he came to the surface for the last time
AS soon as the water was wiped from
his nose and mouth so that he coult
see and speak, he asked:
Did-did you save dat pocket
book?n @l.h
"No!n was the response. @ t.lH
"Well, den," said the negro regret
fully, "what de debbil was de use ol

A Curious Discovery With Respect Il
Indian Languages. -,

The following strange story, which is
told by the Wichita Beacon, is in regard
to case somewhat similar to one
which the Times chronicled some time
ago, with the exception that the Times
character is native Swede. This
Swede was walking around Fort Leav-
enworth one day and paid a visit to the
calaboose of the post where the Chey-
enne captives, who were afterward TAX
en- to Florida, were then confined. To
his astonishment he found that he could
understand perfectly every thing they
said, although it was the first time he
had ever heard the Indian language
spoken. He was afterward sent West,
and is now acting in the capacity of a
Government interpreter. This is the
Be0c0n's story: af 4a
"Andreas :" Eisinger native OF Switz-
erland, and lately of the Sixth United
States Cavalry, is now in Wichita, un-
der orders to report to department head
/ quarters at Leavenworth. Mr.. Eisinger
is young man about twenty-five years
of age, born in Canton Thurgau, and
was educated in the Grison or Canton
Graubunden, which lies in the Tyrolean
Alps, on the Austrian frontier. The in
habitants of this Canton speak dialect
termed Pomelus by the Germans, and
Rome-pa-va by the natives. Eisinger
speaks it readily. In the spring of 1873
he came to the United States, enlisted in
the service, and was sent to Fort Dodge.
In October, 1874, he was with General
Miles's command, which captured a
part of the Cheyenne Indians then on
the war-path. One of tile parties cap
tured consisted of three warriors and a
squaw, who, supposing that none Of
. their captors understood their language.
; conversed freely with one another, lay.
J ing plans to escape. Eisinger was as
} tonished to hear the aborigines speak
ing a language familiar to his
} ears-the Rome-pa-va dialect. He re
: ported his discovery to his com
J manding officer, who investigated tht
matter and found it to be just as statet
by the Swiss boy. He was discharged
: from the army and appointed interpre
: ter, which position he now holds. /"

thrust it in and anxiously watch that
you get the same one back again. As
to drinking it, you may either 60 into
the street and sit on a barrel or lean
against a post, or force your way into
the crowd in the vaults, where you are
in the best company and the worst COM
pany, and are in the midst of a Babel of
cultural German. There is nothing
short of rage for this hop-beer, moth
ing in Munich is more sought after, ex-
cept, perhaps, Wagner's operas. The
keller is full day and night, and I saw
people there who have the appearance
of remaining for week. It is, in fact,
sort of duty to stick by this beer while
it lasts. It is accounted very whole
some. This brewing was opened about
two weeks ago, and will be consumed
in few days more. There will be no
more like it before April. Being, as !
said, wholesome, it is necessary to drink
enough of it now to last a person for six
months. Those whom | saw to-day
were in fair way to do it. ,z.., ~

The Court Brewery In Munich.

Charles Dudley Warner writes to the
Hartford Courant from Munich: At
present, you will hear, the only place
where good beer can be had is at the
cellar Of the court brewery, and there is
not enough of that to satisfy the thirsty
public only. few days at a time.
Enough must always be reserved for
the royal drinkers, and what is over is
given to the public. The last brewing
was opened only couple of weeks ago,
and it is expected to last only few
days longer. Having learned of this
impending destitution stepped round
there to-day. 1t is a democratic place.
The highest and the lowest mingle there
.together in struggle for the precious
fluid. There are no decent accommo-
dations for any one, and no one is wait
ed on. The keller is entered from the
rougll-paved alley which is full of beer
barrels and trucks. Within are some
low vaulted rooms; in one of them the
beer is dispensed over the counter. In
the other are rude benches and tables,
and every seat is filled, You can dimly
see through the tobacco smoke in these
low vaults that there are three or four
hundred men sitting there, each with
his mass Of beer in a stone mug. 1t Is
nearly noon The outer room is crowd
ed with servants and with gentlemen
striving to get their mugs into the hands
of the drawers Behind the counter are
half dozen men and women filling the
mugs as fast as they can draw. On the
counter is a great platter, with severa
compartments, into which the various
sorts of money received are
east. To get mug of beer is
ueritable struggle. You have first tt
find mtg, a not always easy task whel
nearly all who, have them hold on t.
them for second or third filling. Hav
ing caught mug, you 60 to a trough o
running water in the court and wash it

Why He Wanted the Tiger.

Those who attended the sale Of ami
mails from Barnum's hippodrome in
Bridgeport, the other day, report the
following occurrence: A tiger was be-
ing offered. The bid ran up to &4,6O0.
This was made by . man who was 9
stranger, and to him it was knocked
down. Barnum, who had been cycling
the stranger during the bidding, now
went up to him and said: 80
"Pardon me for asking the question,
but will you tell me where you are
from?'' ssssyiays4
"Down South Bit" responded the
man. tn Hlyf
q !" Are You connected with any nyshowP"
"No.''
aAnd are you buying this animal for
yourselfpr @ f.s.l,.
"Yes.''
Barnum shifted about uneasily for a
moment, looked alternately at the man
and the tiger, and evidently trying his
best to reconcile the two together.
| ss Now, young man, . he finally said,
syou need not take this animal unless
YOU want to, for there are those here
who will take it off your hands. :"
az don't want to sell, :" was the quiet
reply hsis s'i sl9 ,
AWhat on earth are you going to do
with such an ugly beast if you have no
show of your own, and are not buying
for some one who is . showman?"
i "Well, I'll tell you," said the pur-
lchaser. "My wife died about three
i weeks ago. We had lived together foI
ten years, and-I miss her. He paused
