Two Courses for Eight
Cents.

The Detroit Free Press saws:
A colored man living on Fort
street, East, has a. sign on his
house, reading: "Meals for
eight cents" The sign attrac-
ted the attention of a hungry
man of color the other day, and
he stepped in and said he would
have a dinner. A slice of bread
and a bowl of water were placed
on the table, and he was told to
draw up.
"What sort of a meal is dat?"
he demanded, drawing away,
instead Of drawing up.
''Dat's an eight cent meal, my
friend"
81 isn't prepared to squar' off
in front of no such dinner"
growled the stranger, getting
out doors.
'It isn't no festival, dat's
true," replied the proprietor,
"but when de price is limited
down to eight cents you must
spec de food will be limited
down to about two courses.
Dar's bread, and dar's water,
and if you want TO make it ten
cents, III put on de pepper-bOx

states that an old and dilapida-

The Kind of Fun q Rich Young
Englishman is Having in
LeaVenWOrth
From the Kansas City Times.

l
From the Kansas City Times.
There is in Leavenworth a tall,
blonde youth, Henry Arnold
Green, who by the use Of his pis'
tol and his wild, drunken sprees,
made himself famous in this city
about a year ago. He is part
lowner of the Leavenworth Ap-
peal. lie receives regularly q
large income from his English es-
tate, which he devotes to the graf
ifcation of his whims. On Mon.
day last Green felt more than u
sually funny, He had seen a fu-
neral procession, and it pleased
him to have a little funeral all
to himself. Having first secured
the services of a hackman, he di-
rected him to drive to an under.
taking establishment, and there he
ordered hearse and horses, and
empty coffin.
The coffin was put into the We,
hicle, but before the doors were
closed the EngliShman said that it
was his pleasure to 'get in there
himself" After instructlng the
hackman to follow a certain line
OF procession at a given distance
from the hearse he crawled In, and
lying down beside the coffin, light
ed cigar. The procession then
moved off TO Cherokee street, at a
funeral pa.e, the hearse in front
and the hack following, AS they
went down Cherokee street toward
the river, the knight Of the black
p!umes produced two bottles Of
whisky which he placed along
side of the coffin, and proceeded
to wind up a two days spree. =
Presently they came in contact
with large crowd, who were on
their way to attend festival, and
who made comments on the
strange funeral procession. The
English corpse, becoming anxious
to know by what authority he
was delayed on the highway, call
ed loudly for the driver to stop,
and while so doing turned over in
his narrow apartment, and, with a
loud crash, forced a portion Of his
body through one of the large O.
val panes of glass on the side of
the hearse. The crowd couldn't
stand a corpse breaking out of its
coffin, jumping through the side
of the heaIse and calling loudly
for the driver to stop further pro-
ceedings. They fled in all direc-
tions. After once more getting ill.,
side, the author of the adventure
was driven to Shawnee street, and
then be returned the hearse aud
coffin to their owner.

P.S. Friday evening, June
10th, 1876. Just on the point
of mailing the above the news
came rather unexpectedly that
the nomination had been made,
1t seems that Conkling and
Morton, finding that their
chances were hopeless, deter
mined that under no circum-
stances should Blaine be the
man, nor would they allow him
ever to be the Warwick of the
day. But gathering up their
own forces and gathering the
few stragglers by the way, they
went in a solid body for Hayes
Of Ohio, and VIM. A. Wheeler
Of New York. On the seventh
md last ballot the vote stood,
Hayes 3S4, Blaine 351, Bris-
.ow q. Thus showing clearly
low the thing was done, and
accounting for the 756 votes
orming the Convention. 1t is
90 early just now to offer any
as to how the RAIDS
will relish the selection thus
made.

"May the blessing of God
ever rest upon you," was the
pious message sent by the Rev.

der Yesterday. The occasion Of
it was the Mayors veto of Rap

the effect that when he and his
wife were pitched out of their
carriage by a runaway horse,
Mrs. Beecher fell upon her
knees and returned thanks de-
voutly, while good old DR.. Ly-
man, picking himself up and
rubbing his bruises, calculated +:
"You may give thanks if you
want to, but I'm pretty badly
hurt, anyhow The people of
Brooklyn regard Mayor Schroe-
der, pretty much as DR.. Beech
Ier regarded his runaway horse.

rogue.
"Convince me Of that" said
the imperturbable Quaker, "and

"You said in your advertise

"Thou art mistaken, l only
promised that thou shouldst

Nonsense, now!" said the
Quaker; "if thou really intends
to do anything Of that sort, we
had better step out into the
back yard, and finish the busi-
ness at once" .
The rogue was completely
abashed by the GOODNESS of the
Quaker, and stood speechless,
and almost petrified.
"Now," said the tailor, good
naturedly, "let me give thee a
piece of advice: a{ ,
"When next thou hast occa-
