There is true humor in the following
story: Once upon a time there lived
an old gentleman in large house. He
had servants and everything>he wanted,
yet he was not happy. aud when things
did not go as he wished, he was very
cross. At last his servants left him.
Quite out of temper; he went to a
neighbor with story of distress.
1T seems to me, said the neighbor,
sagaciously. "'twould be we'll for you TO
oil yourself a little"
ITO oil myself 2"
"Yes; and will explain. Some
time ago one of the doors in my house
creaked. Nobody therefore liked to 90

hinges, and it has constantly been used
BY everybody ever SINCE
''Then you think ! am like the creak-
ing door," cried the old gentlemen.
CHOW do you want me to oil myself 2"
+ "Yhat's an easy matter" suid the
neighbor. eco home and engage a
servant, and when he does right, praise
him. If, on the contrary, he does
something amiss, do not be cross oil
your voice and words with the oil of
love-"
The old gentlemen went home, and
no harsh or ugly words were ever heard
in the house afterwards. .-Er.

New Way to Pay Old Debts.

A singular way to obtain payment Of
money due Hindoo is for the creditor
to plant himself before the door Of the
debtor, and VOW that he means to re-
main there, without food, until his mon.
ey is'paid. AS point Of honor, which
it is deemed impossible to violate, the
dchtor must, in like manner, remain
without food and if payment is not
made the parties Immediately begin to
put their mutual power of enduring
hunger. to the test. This trial might
sometimes prove ilIusory, and therefore
thc creditor usually makes sure that
the fastening OF the debtor is real by
cutting off his supplies. This kind of
dherma, employed by troops against
their paymaster, or the prime minister,
or the sovereign himself, has often been
cffectual in obtaining their arrears of
pay. In America the creditor often
starves, but the debtor grows fat By
paying ten cents On a dollar.

An American OOnsaI Arrested and

SAN Francisco, March 30.-Further
particulars of the arrest and imprison.
ment Of John A. Suffer, United States
consul at Acapules, are as follows: Pre-.
vious to the occupation of the town by
the forces of Diaz. under command Of
General Jimenez, General Alvarez,
who held the place in the interest Of
Lsrdo, levied contributions OF the citi-
ze1s to obtain funds to carry on the con
test against Diaz. Among those who
paid the amount assessed vas Henry
Kastau, an American citizen who owned
considerable property, including a plan.
tation in tho vicinity. About this time
Consul Suffers house was entered one
night by a Mexican with a view of
robbery. Suffer shot and wounded
him; he was examined and dis.
charged by due process of law. When
Jimenez entered the city this same
Mexican turned up as one Of kia adj
herents, together with a large proportion
Of the rsbble element, and there is an
impression that his private enmity msy
have had some weight in the subsequent
proceedings against Suffer, more partic-
ularly as many threats ware uttered
against him by the rough element. ii.
menez at once began to levy forced con.
tr,outions aud seized a lot Of cattle be-
longing to Kastan. TIE latter lodged a
protest with Suffer as an American
representative; then fearing personal
trouble left the city on the morning Of
the 5,h inst. Suffer sent the protest
TO Jimenez, receiving a reply to the
effect that be had better be careful
how be protested against or interiered

ties, or he would get into trouble. A few
hours after Suffer was surrounded on the
street by soldiers and marched to prison.

cluded that he had carried the thing too
far, and informed Suffer that on making
a request in proper form be might be

The New York Tribune which,
of course, regards the present ad-
ministration as a high type of good
government, takes a hopeful view
of things in general, but suggests
that the people should not expect
prosperity to return too suddenly.
This paragraph is in the main
quite correct:
Good government will do much BY
economy, reform, and sound financial
management to make the country more
prosperous. But it cannot do very much
in three weeks. There has not been
time eVen to consider the outlines Of a
financial policy, and when adopted any
wise policy will not be one Of sudden
and violent changes The mere conf.
dence that such a policy will be adopted
has already given a stimulus to business
and anchored gold below les Probably
the announcement OF snch a policy
weuld have a marked effect. But We
may not look for rapid changes. Th,
country has been so deep in difficulty
that it may we'll rejoice to find solid

though slow progress toward the firm
