"Certalnly, take anything,' repli d
the accommodating tumbler, r,slinger
"WeiI, then, give me some whiSkey,
said the stranger.
The bar-Eeeper set out the bottle
aud glass, and the stranger poured
on, and swallowed his drink and
stated for the door.
Hold on, there, where's that trade
dolIar?' said the har-keeper,
"OE, | haven't got any trade dol
lars, replied the stranger; Il only
asked if you took them at par for in
formation.
a shade of sadness stole over the
ar-keeper's face as he discovered
that somebody borrowed the pick
handle he keeps under the bar for
such emergencies-and the soda-wa-
ter bottle that swished through the
ar only came within six feet Of where
the stranger had stood the moment
before.

A CHINESE lottery was raided by
the police at San Francisco the other
day. The game was one that had de.
fed the vigilance of the police, and
extra precautions had been taken
against police raids. A strong pick
ct fence five feet high surrounded the
roof, and the sky-lights were nailed
down with boards. The officers, how
ever, effected an entrance above, got
out on the roof and crawled over to
the fence, which they scaled with
some difficulty.
The breaking Of the skylight alarm
ed the heather congregated in the
room below waiting for the drawing:
and by the time the officers reached
the room only half a dozen of them
were in sight Only small amount
of coin was found, the gamesters
having evidently deposited the mon
ey in a large safe ana locked it at the
first alarm. The books and imple-
ments Of the game filled an express
wagon.

A strange young man, about TWEEN
ty-fve years of age, has appeared in
Portland, Oregon, whence no one
knows, and has developed an insane
to choke people, whereat
East Portland is greatly exercised.
With that rare discretion, however,
which lunatics sometimes display, his
mania runs only in the direction of
Small boys. He has INDUCED this
penchant so frequently of late that
the children in that part of the town
are afraid of their own shadows and
can with difficulty be persuaded to
go to school. The residents have de-
termined to send the man to an in.
zane asylum.

Mr. A. Douglass, an English set
tier in the Cape Colony, South Afri-
ca, commenced experiments about
eight years ago with six ostriches. He
has now about three hundred on
hand, having sold eighty-fve. Each
bird eats about twenty pounds Of veg
etable matter per day. and the net
profit from the sale OF the birds and
feathers is stated at $l25,00O in the
four last years. The cost of the be-
ginnings Of the experiment is not CIV
en-. The birds are Matched by arti-
fetal means, and the process requires
forty.two days. In natural Matching
one egg in ten fails; in the artificial
process one in twelve. The work OF
raising ostriches for their feathers
has also been commenced in Califor-
MIA. The enormous profits tempt ex
pertinent, yet changes of fashion may
on any day make even ostrich feath-
ers of little value. Whenever any
one who chooses may command a
plume, ostrich may degenerate into
hens feathers in fashionable es,ima
ton.

pected extent and beauty Of the dis
play of womens' work from all parts
of the world. Horticultural hall is
simply bewildering i'll its floral mag
nifcence, its acres of flowers and
plants, tropical groves and orangeries,
with delicious music mingling with
the fragrance Of its thousand roses
and lilies. In an annex to the main
building there is a display of fifteen
hundred shododendrous, bearing
probably twenty times as many flow
ers, all exhibited by one man, a Mr..
Waterer, of Surrey, England. Ma
chinery and Agricultural halls have
not yet even glanced at in my letters,
but must yet tell your farmers and
mechanics something about the use

much to speak of however that l al

at the colossal magnitude of the exEi-
bition. AS gentleman remarked a
few days since, why man there are
over two hundred buildings within

Why its cheaper than pretzels. With

About 200 delegates to Presbyter-
ian Assembly attended Plymouth
church Sunday, when the Rev.
Henry W. Beecher preached a sermon,
the gist of which was that some people
place too much stress on orthodoxy,
foolishly supposing that little good
ness and great deal of orthodoxy
is better than a great deal Of goodness
and a little orthodoxy.
