Daniel Der0nda next turned himself
loose, but the yawns reminded him that
his conversational influence was not felt.
The musical tiend of the crowd hoped
upon the stool and belabored the piano,
while the others sang; at the end of the
song the beauty was lying back in the
rockingham fast asleep.
What was the homely girl doing all
this while? She was making herself as
agreeable and sprightly as possible.
When the other began to snoIe she apol-
ogized in a most sisterly way. 81 hope,
gentlemen, you won't take otfense She
did it just for joke. You know she's
always doing such original things You
won't feel insulted, will you?" Then
she took them out in the pantry and
filled them up with mince pies, cold
tongue, roast turkey, etc, and when they
left that house they came to the sworn
conclusion never to have any more to do
with the beauty, and to cultivate the
homely one more in the future than in
the past. Vjrgjnja (Ne0.) Chronicle.

What A NewsbOy Can Do.

Everybody who has frequently passed
up Montgomery street in the latter part
of the afternoon, just after the evening
papers are out, has observed among the
swarms Of vociferating newsboys one
particular lad of striking appearance.
He is rather taller than his associates,
angular spare and active His youthful
frame is bent like that of an old man,
partly owing to sickness and partly to
u pernicious habit of bending over his
books, for he is an assiduous student.
This fourteen-years-old boy, lean and
delicate, has the grave and meditative
countenance of man of forty-deep
lines, sharp eyes and high cheeks being
the prominent characteristics. His oar.
ments are of coarse, durable material and
rather shabby.
This lad, James Handley, has been
selling the BulJetin-he confines himself
exclusively to this journal and stock
list-for four years, and has property,
monetary and real estate, valued at near
ly $4,000. Every day, fair or foul, finds
him on the street, diving into street.cars,
making his shrll voice distinguishable
above the cries of his comrades, darling
to and fro among the passers.by like the

The HomeIy Sisters Strategy.

There are two young ladies in this city,
one noted for her beauty and the other
quite plain. They are sisters and rivals.
The handsome one has the most admirers,
herface eflectually hiding her lack of intel.
ligence and good sense. The homely one,
although overlooking with wit and shrewd-
ness, finds it impossible to make herself
attractive to the young men who call at
the house 50 long as her sister is about.
The girls mutually hate each other. A
few nights ago the homely one had her
sweet revenge. Half dozen gentlemen
were expected to be present Just be-
fore the arrival of the guests the homely
sister dropped a grain of morphine into a
glass of water which the other had asked
her to get, and that is what did the bust.
ness. The guests arrived. 1t was Good
evening, Miss -" and How do you
do, Mr. -" for about five minutes,
when the girls sat down, and the hand
somer was made the center of an ad-
miring group.
THE weather has been rather nice for
day or So"
Y.e-s-a," replied the fair one, with
yawn that caused her mouth to open like
the jaws of Blake crusher,
The group tried hard to keep her at
tention engaged. The most fluent weather
talker of the lot exhausted himself OF
meteorological phenomena, but without
effect. The chap who read Il portion of

was going down Whitewood canon, about
two and a half miles from Deadwood,
five masked men, walking along the road
before the stage, suddenly wheeled,
ordered the driver to stop and com
menced firing on the coach. At the
first fire Johnny Slaughter, the driver,
was killed, and Walter liner, of Dead
wood, wounded in the hand and arms.
The horses started suddenly, throwing
the driver, liner and another passenger
off the coach. The stage was not
stopped till it arrived In town, leaving
the driver on the road dead. About
twenty shots were fired at the coach, but
all the passengers except liner escaped
unhurt. A party went out and found the
body of the driver with a charge of
buCkshot in his breast. The robbers got
no booty. The Sheriff and party went
in pursuit of the road agents.

will-o'-the-wi everywhere at once. He
pursues a beaten track, daily routine
or system, and never deviates therefrom.
When the evening papers are out he may
be seen restlessly oscillating up and
down California street near Montgomery.
AS the great resort of speculation
grows deserted he gradually moves up
Montgomery street, always keeping in
the heart of the daily tide Of black-clad
humanity going home to dinner. An
hour is generally consumed in reaching
Market street. Here, on the great cor
ner, where three busy streets pour a con-
tinual stream of pedestrians into the
crowded thoroughfares, the lad stops,
and, surrounded by shoal of smaller
fry, takes his standfor the day. He sells
so many papers that he employs a small
er boy to carry great bundle up to the
corner of Market and Montgomery streets
as a reserve supply, while he himself has
one hundred or more on his arm. His
profits amount to from fifteen to twenty
five dOllarsa week, and he fails to clear
two dollars and half any afternoon he
goes home dissatisfied. But to earn and
hoard money is not his sole ambition.
He aspires to profession, and attends
the Lincoln School, where he is an or
derby, industrious pupil, and ranks high
in his class. He recently built house
on Telegraph Hill for 81, 800, and sold it
to his brother (also a newsboy, and two
years his senior for So 200, the brother
shortly afterward selling the property to
a capitalist for So, 100. He has an eye
to the value Of possessing real estate,
and owns several lots and two houses on
Telegraph Hill, where he resides with
his parents.
Little Jimmy's fertility of invention is
illustrated by the following instance:
When the famous lightning train, bear
ing Jarrett & Palmer's theatrical company,
was nearing San Francisco, the city news
boys made great preparations to secure
and sell the several thousand copies of
the New York HerGld known to be on the
train, as well as the extra editions of the
San Francisco papers. Far-seeing Jimmy
engaged several hundred copies of the
Herald, deliverable on the arrival of the
train at Oakland wharf, and when the
train rambled up to the ferry-boat the
lad was there waiting for his Hera5dS.
He filled his arms with the sheets, took
the first local train to Oakland, and re-
tailed his papers at twenty-five cents "a
copy. He enjoyed a monopoly, as the
other newsboyS had engaged the remain
der Of the HeraIdS for the San Francisco
trade" For hours he was the only
Herald vender in Oakland, and before
sunset on that well-remembered Sunday
had sold out at profit of forty.eight
dollars, and returned home music box
of jingling silver coins.
Various are the enterprises engaged in
by jimmy. Until lately he has had the
privilege of printing and selling the pro
grammes for the races at the Bay View
track, and has realized several handsome
remunerations thereby. He has a keen
eye for business, and bids fair to become
a California street capitalist at no dis
tant day.-.San Francisco Bulletin.

A Love Story.

A delicious love idyl comes from
Wayne County, Ky A stalwart young
kentuckian of knightly bearing, passing
through a Monticello street ten years
ago, was noticed by young girl sitting
at the window of the most aristocratiC
house of the town, and she fell in love
with him at first sight She had wealth,
culture and beauty; he was poor, with
only his splendid Dhysique and intrepid
spirit, and was then on his way to seek
fortune as Cattle-hGrder in Texas.
There he soon rose to be proprietor of a
ranch, and took his money to California
and hunted for gold. After many ups
and downs, fortune favored him, and he
found himself the owner of silver mine
at Silver City, New Mexico The girl,
meanwhile, had bloomed into rarely
beautiful woman, had developed unusual
literary ability, and become a con-
tributor to the apostolic Times, the organ
of the Reformed Church, published at
Lexington. BY some means the girl had
learned who the unconscious object of
her fancy was, and, though he had never
seen her, the two correspondent through
out the ten years. She never wrote "A
word of her personal attractions nor fam
lily, nor did he speak of his good fortune;
he had a mind well stored with iudicious
reading, and their correspondence was
only that of book-loying friends. A few
weeks ago, however, the love she had
so long borne him fruited. He wrote
her proposing marriage, and soon fol-
lowed his letter to her Kentucky home,
where he saw her for the first time. Re
Gently they were married, and Miss
Annie Berry, that was, will be surprised
to find on reaching Silver City that her
husband, r. B. Metcalf, is the greatest
capitalist in New Mexico.

Strawberry Grubs.

We are much troubled here with
"grubs" which eat the roots of straw

the ground has been MANFRED or not;
and | think the Larvae found in manure
heaps is entirely distinct from that
which destroys our strawberry and other
roots. The latter is more slender and
hairy than the other, and does not in
crease in size sorapidly. Besides, l have
never found the young ones earlier than
the middle of July, while full-grown
grubs are found in the manure in June.
If the smallest grub touches a root of
strawberry the leaves wilt in the sun;
and we search the rascal out and save
the plant.

chickens, over a thousand grubs; while
the next plots literally filled with grubs,
