the difficulty of obtsining bed In the
hotels, even IL be had two OF three strange
bedfellews.
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccentric
Methodist minister, stopped one night at
one of the hotels in Ann Arbor, and in
quired if be could have room and bed
to himself. The barkeeper told him he
could unless they should be 50 full As to
render 1t necessary to put another 10 with
him. At an early hour the reverend
gentleman went to his room, locked the
door and soon retired to his bed and
sunk into . comfortable sleep. Along
towards midnight he was aroused from
his slumbers by loud knocking at bis
door.
"Hal.o! you there" he exclaimed,
"what do you want now' with particular
stress on the last word.
"Yoa must take another lodger with
you, sir" said the voice of the land
lord.
"Whst! another yets"
"Why, yes-there is only one in here, is
there2"
"Onel why, here is Mr.. Brown, and q
Methodist minister, and myself, already,
and should think that enough for one
bed, even in Michigan"
The landlord seemed 10 think so, too,
and left the trio to their repose.

The story of "Boss Tweed's" escape
and fight exceeds in interest most of the
tales which we read in wonderment and
then class under the head of impossible
romance. His adroit plan, bis easy de-
ception Of the officers, his stealthy rides
through New York, his exile at the farm
house in New Jersey and the fishermans
hut on Staten Island, in Florida and Gu
ba, all these and other details we cannot
read without feeling of deep amszement.
The whole story of Tweed and his con-
federates is full of instruction. 1t shows
how wickedness can triumph, how whole
communities Can be made to suffer by it,
how injustice, though slow, will some
time begin to assert its claim and seek its
demonstration, and how full of pain, peril
and final disgrace are the ways Of trans
gressors. The misery with which they
have been plagued ought to be perms.
nent warning against the villainy that
seeks power and wealth by robbery and
extortion. If it is to be regretted that
law is defrauded by the escape Of the arch
thief from penal exaction, the wretched-
ness of his past life is enough to illus
trate the folly aud misfortune that accom-
pany and follow the commission of crime.

POOR LAZARUS

The tale of Lazarus seems to appeal
particularly to the negro's heart, and if
he were to choose patron saint 1t would
not be St. Augustine, who honored Africa
with his residence, but "poor old Laza-
rus" who sat in rags at the gates Of Dives.
The negroes soothe their tired nerves with
music and drop to sleep with its accents
on their lips. The night resumes abso-
lutte reign, with only the minstrelsy of the
tree frogs and the shouting of the owls to
resound through the far alcoves of the
wilderness.

FIRST AMERICAN FLAG IN ENGLAND
The stars and stripes were first displayed
in England under singular circumstances.
An American gentleman, Mr.. Elkanah
Watson, happened to be in London dur
ing the winter OF 1881, just before the
public acknowledgment by the king Of
American Independence. He had a
portrait Of himself painted by Copley,
the distinguished artist, and Bostonian
by birth. In the background was ship,
bearing to America the intelligence that
her Independence had been recognized.
All was finished except the flag, upon
whose stars and stripes the artist designed
the rays Of the rising sun to fall. Cop
ley did not think it prudent to paint the
flag until after the royal recognition, a.
his gallery was the resort Of the royal
family and nobility.
On the 9Th Of December, 1889, Mr.. Wat
son, in company with Copley, heard the
king read from the throne in the House
q Lords the acknowledgment Of Ameri-
can Independeoce. TIE two Americxns

The following is from . correspondent
