Yesterday morning an anxlous-looklng
citizen, who was evidently desirous of
concealing the fact that even at the ninth
hour he was filled with new wine or old
whisky, strolled into Main street gro
Gerry and halted by an open barrel, the
contents of which he began to examine.
"Good apples are pretty sc-scarce
this season." he remarked, with a pro-
found expression of wisdom.
"Them amt apples, all the same,
though" remarked the grocer in tone
of surprise.
"Of course said the citizen, with
great dignity, in rather offended tones ;
Il see they are not, but L presume a
ha-haw-a man may-er-handle po-
tatoes and talk of apples, nevertheless,
can't he ?" :.

And with an air of mingled abstraction
and confusion he bit large bite out OF a

street very unsteadily, munchlng his
fruit lunch with feelings of anazement.

Curious THANKSGIVING Custom,

At the annual dinner at Clements Inn
Oondon), after the banquet of that
learned society, members and guests rise
on the removal of the white cloth and wit
ness the following thanksgiving in pam
tomime: Before the President Of the sec
ond table the butler puts mass of bread,
consisting of four loaves adhering to each
other by their kissing crusts; taking this
mass of bread in his hand, the said Pres
ident of the second table slowly raises it
above his head to the full reach of his
arm, and after a few moments pause
brings it down with laundering whack
on the oaken table. A second time the
bread is elevated and struck upon the
board. Yet third time the same feat is
performed; and then, before the strangers
have had time to recover from their as
tonishment, the grave actor has thrown
the bread SO that it slides and spins down
to the bottom of the long table, where it
is caught up by the butler, who instantly
runs out OF the dining-han with it in his
outstretched hands. The whole grace is
typic.-l. The four loaves represent the
four gospels; the three elevations are in
reverence of the three persons of the
Sacred Trinity; the manner in which the
bread is cast down the table indicates
the hberaEty with which the bread of
life was given to mankind; and the alac-
rity with which the butler ran out of the
hall exempifes the alacrity with which
jealous servants hasten to distribute the
bread of spiritual knowledge to those
who hunger for it.

Assaulting ap Etiftr.

Two men entered the Office of the st.
Louis VolkstiDlDee and enquired for the
city editor. They were shown to his
room, and entered. One OF them pre-
sented copy OF the paper, and, pointing
to an article, ask d Curtin if he wrote
it. The reply was in the affirmative, at
which one of them Immediately locked
the door of the room, while the other
sprung upon Curtin and dealt him
several blows. They then went to work
in the most brutal manner, pounding
and kicking the unfortunate man, VINO
had fallen to the floor half unconscious.
firing of this they drew rawhides and
piled them with all their strength. The
noise, after a few minutes, attracted the
attention OF the other employees, who,
upon trying the door and finding it
locked. broke it down and rescued Cur
lin. The two men were held until the
police were called, when they were taken
to the police station.

and bewilderment.


and bewilderment.
Wings stony heart, and taught hel tho
infinite pleasure of giving. And as some
streams, when released from the icy fet-
ters that have bound them, rusa on
with terrific force, overwhelming and
submerging, 80 Miss Wing, suddenly
set free from lifelong botidsse, seasned
to do 1aore for some one else. So she
sent telegram early next morning,
which dropped like a bomb-shell into
the little parsonage at Hopewell:
Bring all the children to dinner I'll
pay the expenses"
There had been a great deal of COM
motion in that little house before. but
never anything equal to that which fol
lowed the receipt of this telegram
Milly's heart misgave her as she washed
faces and tied ON hoods and tippets, for
she felt that nothing less than . miracle
could change cousin Selma. But after a
grand sleigh ride they found her ready
to receive them, dressed in her best black
silk and snowy apfoh-the grim look in
her face Very much softehed.
The little Thornes had never in their
lives eaten such a dinner as she had
ready for them. They did everything
they pleased, even to eating APPLIES in
the parlor and cracking nuts on that
shining kitchen floor. But, best of all,
when they were going home she tucked
a $50 bill ia Mr., Thorne's hand, and
when he tried to thank her she said:
$50 long, Bob Thorne there's plenty
more where that came from"
So "Bob" Thorne went along, rejoic-
ing for the spirit which had moved Miss
Thorne's heart and gwen them all such a
happy Thanksgiving.

GEN. BANKS SCHEME,
A New Plan for Promoting Public I'M

A New Plan for Promoting Public I'm.
provements.
A most novel measure has been intro.
dnced in Congress by r. 2. Banks, OF
Massachusetts. Its object is to extend,
facilitate and cheaper land and water
transportation of fre1ghts and passen-
gers and to promote industry and labor
without further appropriation of public
property or an increase of the public
debt. It provides that the President Of
the United States shall cause to be paid
into the treasury, to be held as reserve
and separate fund, all moneys or other
form of Indebtedness due, or that may
hereafter become due from the several
Pacific railways or any other railway cor
porations according to the terms of the
several contracts, with the interest that
has accrued thereon. This is to be held
as distinct and separate fund, to be
used in aid of the improvement and con-
struction of such railways, clnals and
levees rs may by Congress he deemed
neeessary to enlarge and cheapeh the
transportation of freights and passen-
gers in the several States and Territories
and with foreign countries. All pay
ments by said corporations as may after
ward be received shall be passed to the
credit of tho goflcI al fund Created by the
provisions of the bill and invested in
bonds of the United States bearing the
same rate of interest as other bonds of
the Government. When the bonds ma
ture they are to be replaced by other
same purpose. Whenever any appro-
made by Congress for the purpose indi-
Tod fhn ~,
and sufficient securities to De given by
the corporations or parties receiving the
same for its repayment, with interest, at
such rates and periods as Congress shall
specify. Whenever any appropriation
is made for the purp oses mentioned,
which shall promote the general interest
conformity with that of the State in
which the improvements may be estab-
hshed, or through which they may pass,
special provision may be made by Con-
gress for the payment of any interest
that may have been advanced from the
fund by special assessments or taxes upon
the trade or commerce interested and
benefited, or upon the lands
or other property that may
have been improved to reim-
burse the Government. The corpofa-
tions taking advantage of the act are
required to make semi reports Of
their operations to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who in turn is to make an an
nual report of the transactions of said
corporations and other information which
may tend to show the true character OF
the various enterprises, together with
such recommendations as may by him
be deemed expedient and proper. Upon
the passage of the act the Secret .ry of
the Treasury is directed to report to
Congress the character and amount of
Indebtedness to the Government on the
part of the several corporations referred
to, and to take proper measures to secure
the payment of the same into the treas
ury of the United States according to
the conditions of the several acts under
which the Indebtedness has been in
Cured

Important to Newspaper Publishers.

The greatest annoyance experienced
by postal clerks and mail agents whose
duty it is to distribute newspaper pack
ages from the Office of publication comes
from the custom adopted by some pub
fishers of using printed paper for wrap
pers, the labels on which are printed or
written so small and indistinctly that
they are not readily made out besides
such wrappers are very liable to burst
open either before or after they reach
the distributing clerks and thus cause
serious delay and trouble. Having
heard much complaint on this account
from the postal service, we are not sur
prised to learn that an order has been
issued from the department to the effect
that hereafter newspapers sent to r gu
lar subscribers from the Office of pubh-
cation must not be done up IN old news
papers or any sort OF printed matter. If
they are, they are subject to transient
postage.

A THANKSGIVING PARTY,

Banks and his wife consulted,
Oae bright Move n,bcr day,
Planning splendid dinner
In pleasant airy way.
's Wen have grand ThaLksgiving,"
Said Banks; land. Polly dear,
You get the guests together,
And III proTide the cheer"
Then Banks, with heart o'erhowing,
Said, "Now's the time. my dear,
To ask ones wife'S relations,
So let them all be here.
Yes, ask them all, my darling;
Your husbands not the man
To stop halfway in making
A pleasant family plan"
So Polly asked her people
[And they were not few
Papa, mamma, and brothers,
and all her sisters. too.
These brought their little children
A laughing. romping crowd;
And. in the after-dinner speech
Banks really felt quite proud"
Yet through it all a shadow
Into his bosom stole;
H knew what bills were comm
They paralyzed his soul!
He knew that Mother PippliDg
wac SOOo oOhACC
In Pollys ear, and, somehow,
That wasn't very nice.
He knew the romping children
Had done him damage dire
(For Banks had dainty furniture
As any could desire);
But still the guests were merry,
The dinner went off WELL"
In spite of many vexing things
5ah 49, Ali
And when, at last, twas over,
And ev'ry guest gone home,
The tumbled house quite still again,
And resting-time was come,
Sweet Mrs. Banks said, cheerily,
My dear, how kind of them
To come TO us Though mother"
(Banks softly coughed "AhemI'0
" Yes, mother noticed-bless her -
One slight omission, dear;
She said Thanksgiving dinners
Without one thank were queer.
1 know You don't say grace, dear;
But don't it seem to you
That to give tharks at such time
Is what one ought to do7s
He fell into a rever1e:
"You're right ~ he sighed at last;
Thank Heaven, the thing is over;
They're gone, and all is past ~
And SO, in simple language,
By that good husband Banks,
The grand Thanksgiving dinner
Was crowned by hearty thanks.

udge Davis Joke on Senator Ferry.

Senator Ferry is pious man. He is
an elder in the Presbyterian church.
AS far as I can see, and [ watch him
pretty closely, he is bound for the king
dom. OF all old bachelors he is the
most irreproachable. He feels very
deeply the dignity of a Senator and
maintains it on all occasions. He is po-
lite, courteous and cold as ice. No one
ever saw him do patural or improper
thing. Every act is studied and prim
and solemn. Yesterday the Senator sat
at breakfast glancing, as even deacons
and Senators will, over his paper, at the
women. He was taking the tiftieth stolen
glance at pretty, golden-haired little
saint from Georgia, when Senator David
Davis, two tables away, startled the
dining-room, by roaring in his lusty
sailor voice to MIR. Ferry, 81 want to
see you before you go TO the races, Fer
~. Afraid can't go. Ii it's possible
for me to get through my work, I shall
be happy to accept your invitation. y
The saint turned her big. blue, reproach-
full orbs on Ferry. The women all looked
at him and whispered. The model Sen
ator blushed scarlet. stroked his beard
nervously, and smiled in e feeble way at
the Jolly giant, who sat shaking his fat
sides, and bending his late judicial head
over the thimbleful of cruel Banting al
lows him. His looks told that he lad
got even with Ferry at last. The tables
are turned Ferry owes him lone. p
