How Did Pharaoh Die!

An English clergyman and "a Lowland
Scotsman visited a school in Aberdeen.
They were strangers, but the master re-
ceived them civilly. and inquired:
g Would You prefer that should speer
these boys, or that you should speer
them yourselves?'' The English clergy
man, having ascertained that "speer +"
meant to question. desired the master to
proceed. He did so with great success,
and the boys answered satisfactorily nu-
merous interrogations as to the exodus
of the Israelites from Egypt. The cler-
gyman then said he would be glad in his
turn to "speer" the boys, and at once
began: Z" How did Pharaoh die?" There
was a dead silence. In this dilemma
the Lowland gentleman interposed: Il
think, sir, the boys are not accustomed
TO your English accent; let me try what
can make OF them" And he inquired
in his broad Scotch, Hoo did Phawra-
oh dee?r Again there was dead ST.
lence; upon which the master said, Il
think, gentlemen, you can't speer these
boys: III show you how to do it," And
he proceeded: Fat cam to Phawraoh
at his hinder end?" The boys answer
ed promptly, - He was drooned;n and,
in addition, a smart little fellow COM
mented, "Ony lassie could hae told you

THE SAND BILL BONANZA.
Chinatown Searched and Lot
OF stolen Articles Found.

Chinatown Searched and n Lot
OF stolen Articles Found.
The search in the sand bill in the
rear of Chinatown resulted in the find
ing of ten sacks Of -four. Itis believed
that this is only a.small part of the
articles buried IN ihe sand by the
Chinese, and some persons talk OF
locating the bill and prospecting it
thoroughly. The search. which re-
suited in the finding of the -four, was
conducted by Piutes; who seemed to be
guided more by instinct than reason.
A search warrant was procured by
Deputy Sheriff Buros. and he went
through several of the houses in the
vicinity of the sand bank. and found "a
lot of stolen articles. Clothing and
furs stolen from j. b. Gramme aud
Dave Melarkey last winter were dis
covered. and a regular bonanza Of hard.
ware. consisting of carving aud table
knives aud forks, scissors, etc.. etc.,
was nnear,hed. Among the articles
which are now in possession OF the
Sheriff is switch key, stamped c. P.
Il r aud NUMBERED 632. The Chinese
are known 10 be the most plished
and adroit thieves in existence. and. as
the cement on which their town is built
is labaryuth of tunnels and secret
passages, it is very difficult for the
officers to find stolen articles.

was the first land victory under the

This flag had been adopted by Congress
on the 14th of June of that year, pri-
marily for the navy, but the army had
already received it as their emblem
also; and the continental regiment Of
Seth Warner carried it in their fight
on the 7th of July at Hubbardton.
Vermont, with the advanced guard OF
Burgoyne's army-the only battle of
civilized men ever fought on the soil
of Vermont-but Warmers men were
repulsed only to appear five weeks
later under the same flag in the very
nick of time to help win the battle OF
Bennington, which was fought, as al
most everybody knows, not on Yer
mont but on New York soil. The flag
has been our flag for just 100 years.
