"When prize is placed under your nose

"Just what II said" answered the boy.
"When prize is placed under your nose
you'd be clumsy il you failed TO nipit.
And when his interlocutor continued the
boy proceeded with great earnestness to
explain what . big thing them outside
hanging pockets is1 how he wouldn't
blame anybody for going through 'em."
"Why," Gays he, "they're the biggest temp
tati0n Oh deck, and must have been invented
to tease feilers who are hard up"
Deeply interested, the lawyer went on
with his enquiries, which at length led to
an exhibition by the boy on the promise
that he should not get into trouble. He
strolled through the market with his in.
qui, tive companion, and on the way took
four silk handkerchiefs and diary from
the pockets of different ladies and put them
back again without being observed by any
person beside the lawyer. Then when they
walked up Michigan Grand avenue to the
Russell house corner, aud on the way the
boy "nipped," az he called it. pocket

handed it to the lawyer, who courteously
lifted his hat and returned it 10 the owner,
as il it had fallen from her pocket.
Near the Russell house corner the boy
attempted to nip" silk handkerchief from
one Of these .ioutside hanging basketa," as
he termed the pocket, but the article would
not come out, and the young expert turned
to his companion with ''Ifs pined Now

when he. sAuntered- carelessly toward the
lawyer slyly exhibiting the handkerchief.
Not satisfied with his work, the boy winked
and again took his position near the lady.
In few seconds he attracted the attention
of the lawyer and exhibited the handker-
chief partially in the pocket, as though it
had been pulled nearly out. At the boys
request the gentleman accosted the lady
with:

"Thank YOU, but it won't fall entirely

Thus ended the experimental trip, made
in the most public part of the city, and in
broad daylight, and as the boy received fol

New York Sun Interview

Mr.. Mast has just returned from Newport,
where he had been on visit TO Mr.. Joseph
w. Harper. He was asked regarding the
condition Of his hand, and whether it was
true that it was paralyzed by the use of
chalk
"My hand!' said he; there's nothing
very serious the matter with my hand. II
isn't any worse now than 1t has been q
number of times in the last few years.
think that story must have arisen from the
fact that while was at Long Branch lately
| took the opportunity to have it treated
electrically. It's an aiiment that is liable to
happen to anybody who uses his hand Q
great deal Those who write much have
it,"
Then, why is it" Mr.. Mast was asked,
that you do not do any more work for
Harpers Weekly:" 5f
Mr.. Mast looked pleasantly into his visi-
tors face, and asked in turn why he should
not be allowed to take vacation as well as
other people.
"Bu, Mr.. Nast," it was urged, "you have
been an almost constant worker for years
Why do you now take so long vacation ?
To this question no verbal answer was
given. Mr.. Mast arose, went out of the
room, and soon returned with a copy ot

it before his visitor. and pointed with his
foretinger to the cartoon on the first page
which bore his own signature 1t was the
well-remembered one in which he represent:
himself as forcibly held down in chair by
Uncle Sam. His pencil is held firmly In his
grasp but his portfolio Of paper is falling
on the floor. Beneath it is the inscription
| NAY, patience, or VIC break the sinews,
quoted from Shakespeare. Uncle Sam i.
represented as saying: Our artist mus
keep cool. and sit down and see how j
works. Over the door Of the room are th,
words: "Blue Room in the white house.
On the wall is inscribed: Public Notice
Watch and pray Stand back and give tn
presidents policy chance, Gen. Disposi
ton!
What isit that is holding down Mr.. Mast
The cartoon in which Uncle Sam is repre-
sented as doing so is the last one he drew
for Harper's Weekly relating to- fedora
politics.; That he should subsequently aui
doing any kind of work on the paper an
suddenly take a long vacation because he
held down by Uncle Sam, is not conceivs
bic. 1t is evident that Mr.. Mast intende
to invest the cartoon With 4 new meaning
and that the person who is holding dow
the belligerent figure in the chair is som,
body else than the typical Yankee.

Messrs. Rhodes & Server, Produce

ST, New York, send us the following:
The low price of cheese during the
fall and the favorable prospects of but
ter induced many to take their milk
from the factories and make it into
butter. 1t was impossible for any
person at that time to realize the full
extent to which this was being carried
on, and it is only now when we find the
crop OF butter SO very excessive and
the crop OF cheese short, that this
united but foolish move of the dairy
men of the country begins to be fully
appreciated. What is to be done to
work off this large stock Of butter
We answer, open the factories Just as
soon as there are new milch cows
TO make a cheese day Don't
make pound of butter for this mar
ket until the old stock is thoroughly
exhausted. New cheese will be in de-
mand this spring at remunerative
prices. We therefore urge factorymen
to open early. We learn that it is the
intention OF many TO open by the first
lof March; this is a good move; the
earlier the better. Keep good warm
fires IN your curing rooms, and market
your cheese as fast as cured.
Dairymen, be as united in this as
you were in making butter last fall,
and you will help the commission
merchants to work off the surplus but
ter, and will yourselves be benefited
by the prices you will receive for your
cheese. The first that reaches the
market will pay the largest profit to
the owners. Let US see who will be
first.

WADE HAMPTON, on the way to
Washington last week on the invita-
ton of the President, made speeches to
those assembled at the depots, saying
he was going to Washington to tell the
President that he was and intended to
he the Governor of South Carolina, and
that he wanted the United States
Soldiers removed from the State
House and the State, in style which
brought to mind Andrew Johnson
swinging round the circle.
Upon his arrival at Washington Sen
ator Gordon, of Georgia, it is said,
whispered in his ear that his speeches
were having a very bad effect upon his
claims as Governor and that he must
in some way counteract it. Thereupon
Hampton declared that he never made
the speeches as published, and said that
the Press Agents had reported them
incorrectly. The Press Agents replied
that the speeches were monograph
cally and correctly reported and cor
rectly furnished the press.
Hampton's tone changed very much.
AT the appointed time he visited the
President, though not alone as contem-
plated but accompanied by Senator
Gordon and Attorney General Connors
Of South Carolina, who were present
during all the interview. The Presi-
dent had another interview with Hamp-
ton in the evening, and also a meeting
with Chamberlain, but we believe at
different times.

GOOD FROM EVIL.
wILMoT CORRESPONDENCE.

GOOD sometimes results from evil.
A case in point has recently been ex-
emplifed at Wilmot. 1t seems that
some rowdie3 from an adjoining town
went TO the WilmCt school and occa-
stoned some disturbance and did slight
damage to some articles OF use.
A correspondent in a communication
in the Union last week gave q greatly
eIzagge, ated and in several respects
false report of the transacjion-perhaps
from receiving information from unre-
liable sources rather than from inten-
ton to exagge,ate and falsify. Not
content to stop with the report the
correspondent went on and spoke CEN
so ,ously and abusively Of the officers
of the town, of the school board, and
of the people of Wilmot.
This evil of the correspondent Of the
Union has resulted in good: in calling
out From a Citizen of Wilmot, a
well written, candid, and no doubt re
liable communication for the TELE-
GRAPH this week, giving the facts of
the transaction, including the immedi-
ate action of The school board, and the
settlement OF the case by the rowdies
before the commencement Of legal pro-
ceedings.
IT it had not been for the evil done
by the correspondent of the Union we
should not have received a commuri-
ton from A Citizen of Wilmot and the
public would not have received a
knowledge Of the facts through the
press. Eut though evil has resulted in
good in this case the principle in NOR
ais, Do not evil that good may come,
still holds good and should be always
observed.
