A Child Asleep In a Tall Tree.

A very remarkable escape occurred re-
Gently to little nephew of Edward e.
Powers, of Detroit. The child, who is
five years old, was missing at IL o'clock,
when looked for at dinner time, but,
after calling him, the family ate dinner,
and, the child not appearing, became
alarmed, and instituted O searchI Through
the neghborhood His hat was found
in the yard under some large maple trees.
Nothing could be heard of him until
about three o'clock, when girl discov-
cred him up in one of the limbs Of the
maple trees, forty feet from the ground,
asleep. The girl called him, but he did
not awake, and the situation being dis
covered, his aunt prevented any noise
being made until two boys climbed the
trees and awoke him, and he was got
down safely. 1t it cannot be ascertain
ed how long the child had been there,
but continuous search was made from
l o'clock to 8 p. NJ.

Fighting Ioe Hooker.

Speaking of gamblers, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, we call to mind out
of many clever men and many honest
men, the names of Charley Burroughs
and Billy Chapman. For some of the
virtues of life, and for some of the man
lier traits, they would compare more
than favorably with many we have
known of higher pretensions. We call
to mind enc incident: Chapman and
Burroughs kept the rooms at the corner
of Merchant and Kearney streets. We
had passed through an exciting political
campaign. Burroughs and Chapman
were both New England men, both Re-
publicans, both loyal. 1t was before the
trans-continental telegraph. The Pony
Express brought the news of the war.
Organized rebellion had fired upon the
grand old flag at Sumpter; the fort had
yielded and the stars and stripes had been
dragged from its flagstaff, and in its
place was raised the standard Of rebel
lion, the flag of the Palmetto State.
Around their rooms hung an habitue,
gambler, and one who had lost for
tune in wooing the tickle, wicked god

dess; gentleman, graduate of West
Point, but ruined and almost reckless
man. The news came ut nine o'clock
in the evening at the taking of Sumpter.
There was no more card playing that
night Then II was that from the sofa,
where he had been lounging, there up
rose handsome and manly form. The
half inebriated, reckless man was trans
formed, as If by magic, into the splen-
did soldier.
Now" said he, d" is my time Time
to redeem myself and serve my country.
l have been educated for soldier. -
Chapman turned to the money drawer
of the faro table, and taking handful
of gold, said, "Take this, go and pur-
chase what you want I'll buy your
ticket; the steamer sails tomorrow
morning ut nine o'clock" The steam
er sailed, and from the generosity and
patriotism of William Chapman and
Charles Burroughs the two professional
gamblers of San Francisco, the country
received the splendid and gallantservlces
of fighting Joe Hooker, the hero of
Lookout Mountain.

A Joke ON THE POLITICIANS.
COME YEARS AGO, Just previous /

COME YEARS AGO, just previous to
y political campaign, u group of
"wlre pullers" and Office seekers were
discussing matters. While they were
thus engaged In feeling self-confident
and iubllant, an old stager of the OPP
posing party, named Sam Bellkoop came
up. Ordinarily Sam was reserved and
mindful of his own business, but in ex-
citing times like the present he could be
loquacious. The party of politlcians,all
known to be hungry for government
pap, hailed Sam rather ironically, ask
ing him how went the battle on his
side. Sam said:
don't know, gentlemen, as / can
give you any information on that sub
ject, but / can tell you bit of story"
All, that was just the thing: " Fire
away, Samuel; let us havelt
Sam took a seat upon an empty nail
keg, and told as follows:
Once upon a time there was a great
king who had philosopher in whose
judgment he always put the utmost
king took 1t into his head that he wanted
to go out hunting, and having sum
moned his mobiles, and all the chief men
of his court, and made necessary prepa-
rations, he called his philosopher and
asked him if it would rain during the
day. The philosopher looked up at the
clear sky, and said it would not; SO the
king and his mobiles, and all his great
men departed. Upon approaching
forest they met countryman mounted
upon a jackass, who advised them to
return, assuring them that it would very
soon rain.
C Bah ~ cried the king. Does this
fellow know more than my philosopher
Let us ride on"
So on they rode, and had just entered
the forest when the rain came down in
torrents, driving them. to the nearest
shelter, which they reached drenched to
the skin, bitterly lamenting that they
did not take the rustic's advice.
When they returned to the palace the
king sent for his philosopher, and hav-
ing soundly berated him for letting him
self be outdone by country rustic, dis
missed him. Then he sent for the coun-
tryman, intending to install him into
the vacant Office.
"Tell me-" said the king, when the
man appeared before him, how you
knew it would rain"
"I don't know, sir" replied the
countryman "my jackass told me-"
Mercy ~ cried the monarch, in
great astonishment. How did he tell
you"
ITS way he has, your majesty, of
pricking up his ears and snuf1ing the
air."
And thereupon the king sent for the
jackass, and allowed the countryman to
go home and the jackass was installed
into the Office made vacant by the re-
tirement of the philosopher.
"Ah !" concluded Sam; with very
woeful shake Of the head, "the poor
king little dreamed the calamity that
simple act was to bring upon his king
dom !"
"How so ?" demanded the audience,
eagerly.
"Why," ,"replied Sam, very gravely,
" from that day to this, every jockass is
clamoring for Office"

Select Poetry.
THE CONFESSION.


There's somewhat on my breast, father,
There's somewhat on my breast,
The live-long day l sigh, father,
At night cannot rest
l cannot take my rest, father,
Tho would fain do so,
A weary weight oppresseth me-
A weary weight of woe
'Tis not the lack of gold, father,
Nor lack of worldly gear,
My lands are broad and fair to see,
My friends are kind and dear;
My kin are real and true, father,
They mourn to see my grief;
But oh tits not kinsman's hand
Can give my heart relief
IT'S not that Janet's false, father,
'Tis not that she's unkind;
Though busy natterers Swarm around,
know her constant mind.
IT'S not her coldness, father,
That chills my laboring breast
It's that confounded cucumber
I'ye ate and can't digest.

Killed While Testing a Fire Escape.

Michael Carey, pipeman of o, the
Mound engine, was killed while testing
the new fire escape sack of the Fire De-
partment at the Lindell Hotel yester-
day. The bag is 112 feet long, feet in
circumference, and made of the strong
est sail canvass. Both ends of the sack
are open, and the manner of escaping
consists simply in getting into the upper
mouth, fastened to window, and slid
ing down in the incline to the lower
mouth, held by three or four men on the
opposite side of the street. BY spread
ing the arms and legs in descending, SO
as to rub the elbows and knees against
