cot IT AGAIN"
How Characteristic French Story Was Dig
counted IN q Western City.

Romieu, of joyous memory, had no more
faithful companion in his riotings than
Rousseau, none so prompt to help him get
drunk at night, and to get home in the
morning. One fine day Rosseau read in
the papers that Romieu had been appointed
to sub-prefecture. He had long wished
to settle down, and this seemed to him the
coveted opportunity. He hastened joyous
ly to Romieu:
"You a sub-prefect? Good! You will
take me with you as your private secreta-
ry, and we shall be as happy as bugs in
rugs"
"Well," answered Romieu, embracing
him rapturously, "come tomorrow and we
will see about it,"
Rousseau did, and found Romieu in tears.
"Alas! my poor Rousseau" he sobbed;
"all our fine projects are knocked on the
head"
"What! has your commission been ro-
voked ?'
No, but it is impossi BILE that l should
take you with me. have just heard an
accusation against you that"
"What is it?"
"They say you drink"
Bousseau gazed at him in srupefaction,
gave an unphilosophical yell of horror and
disgust and fled.
Romieu was not so loyal boon compan-
ion as certain joyous manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company in
joyous Western. City. His Pythias was
one of his operators, as, enthusiastic but
not SO capable drinker as his chief. Nat
urally the operator neglected his work, to
the scandal and detriment of the office.
One morning after the pair had spent
night of unusual intensity together, as the
operator was comforting his head with wet
congresses and staying his stomach with
strong tea, he received the folio wing note
from the manager in his official capacity:
SIR-You are again absent from duty
this morning and the head operator informs
me that such occurrences have been fre-
quent of late, owing to your immodcrate
indulgence in. intoxicating liquors. This
cannot. long er be tolerated, and any repeti-
tion of the offense will be the signal for
your instant and irrevocable discharge.
The operator could not bell eve his eyes.
He had parted from the manager at 4 a. m.
and at 10 came this letter. stern, official.
In his confusion he turned over the sheet,
and thers in pencil was the postscript by
the manager:
I'm on it again! Where'll you meet
me tonight ?'-Cle0e5and Plain Dealer.

Relics Restored BY Storms.

T.
The storms on the coast Of Scotland this
year have been extraordinarily severe. At
Maiae, one of the Shetland islands, a can
non nine feet long and an anchor weighing
1900 pounds hare been washed ashore.
Theae interesting ietsams are supposed to
have belonged to one Of the ships of the
Spanish Armada, commanded by the Duke
Medina de sidonia, and invented for the
invasion uf England. This vessel was
wrecked among the Shetland islands, hav-
ing been driven far north by stormy wealth
81. The relics have rested ON the ocean
bed for nearly three hundred years, and
have been presented to the queen and de-
posted in the arpory of Windsor castle,
near the Nelson relics.

petriiying the Deai.

The French have new method of dis
position of the dead. At the decease of an
individual the body is plunged into liquid
and in Ave years the body is turned into
stone. The secret Of petriacation is known
only to the discoyerer. He says that in a
thousand years, if people only preserve
their relatives, they viii be able TO build a
house with them, and live in residences
surrounded by their ancestors. Another
application Of this process has been sugs
gested, namely, to have The petgifed corpse
nickle- plated or electro-plated with bronze,
and, if staute Of an individual is desired,
TO place the corpse on a proper pedestal, so
as to fulfill the function or being the statue
of the person deceased. Nereantils Jaar-

Aged Beauties.


History is full of the accounts of fascina-
tors who were no longer young. Thus,
Helen of Troy was over forty when she
perpetrated the most famous elopement on
record ; and as the siege of Troy lasted a
decade. she could not be very juvenile at
the time when the ill-fortune of Paris re-
stored her to her husband, who is reported
to have received her with unquestioning
love and gratitude. Pericles welded the
courtesan Aspasia when she was thirty-six,
and yet she afterwards for thirty years
welded an undiminished reputation for
beauty. Cleopatra was over thirty when
Antony fell under her spell, which never
lessened until her death, nearly ten years
after; and Liva was thirty-three when she
won the heart of Augustus, over whom she
maintained her ascendency to the last min
ute.
Turning to more modern history, where
it is possible to verify dates more accurate
ly, we have the ex traordinary De Poicters,
who was thirty-six when Henry II--then
Duke of Orleans, and just half her age-be-
came attached to her and she was held as
the first lady and most beautiful woman at
court up to the period of the monarch's
death and the accession of Catharine de
Medicis. Anne of Austria was thirty
eight when she was described as the hand
soonest queen of Europe, and when Buck
ingham and Richelieu were her jealous
admirers. Ninon, the most celebrated wit
and beauty Of her day, was the idol of
three generations of the golden youth Of
France; and she was seventy-two when the
Abbe de Berais fell in love with her. True
it is in the case of this lady. a rare combi-
nation of culture, talent and personal at
fractions endowed their possessor SEEM
ingly with the gift of eternal youth.
Bianco Capello was thirty-eight when
the Grand Duke Francisco of Florence fell
captive to her charms, and made her his
wife, though'he was five years .her Junior.
Louis XIV. welded Madame de Maintenon
when she was forty-three years of age.
Catharine II, of Russia was thirty-three Q
when she siezed the empire of Russia and
captivated the dashing General Orloff.
Up to the time of her death-at sixty sew
en-she seemed to have retained the same
bewitching powers, for the lamenta-
tions were heartfelt among those who
knew her personally. Mile. Mars, tho Gel

Clever Telephone Hoax.

Mr.. E. C. Armstrong, Superintendent OF
tile Suburban Telegraph Company, played
a practical joke on the newspaper reporters
yesterday. MIR. Armstrong has recently
been in Chicago, aud on his return repre-
sented that he had made arrangements to
test the musical powers of the telephone
between Chicago and Cincinnati. Accord
ingly an invitation was extended to the re-
porters to be present at q trial in one OF the
rooms of the Western Union Telegraph
Company's building promptly at 2:25 yes
terday afternoon. Quite a company as
sembled at the time, and were held in sus-
pense for considerable period by Mr..
Armstrong, who busily rushed about ma
king arrangements for the entertainment.
At length the eager party was admitted to
the inner room, where the telegraphic con-
cert was to be held. There was great ar
ray of wire coils, and the preparations
were immense. After testing the wires,
and finding them strongly charged, the
operator connected them, and the music
began to play. Two or three familiar old
tunes were jngled off in good style to the
no small interest of the visitors, who
crowded about the little instrument, No
less than four modest reporters OF the B''-
oufrer were present to take in the situation
and tear the sensation to tatters. The
Gazette sent it's musical critic to bear the
strains and, with his ear close to the IN
strument, he expressed his satisfaction at
the tone, and noticed peculiar whirr, that
was due, no doubt to the electric intiuen-
ces in transmission. The evening papers
were also fully represented. When the
edited congregation had been wrought up
to the highest pitch, Prof. Armstrong de-
tached the instrument from its wire con-
nactious. and held it up to the gaze of the
crowd. explaining that the fact of its con-
tinuing to play was due to its having been
fully charged with musical lightning. AT
the same time he discovered that Swiss
mnsic box had been neatly fitted into the
relav instrument, and bad been doing all
the playing. 1t was clever hoax ana
every one present. admitted it. Armstrong

The Azonyrnoss Coward.

Did it ever occur to anonymous writers
who send scurrilous and abusive letters to
newspapers with whose opinions they
chance to differ, that they are placing
themselves in an attitude so mean as to de-
serve contempt? When men have the
courage to express their sentiments either
verbally or over their own signatures their
views must command respectful considera-
tion if temperately uttered. But when
they resort to the shelter Of irresponsible
vilification and the protection of the un-
traceable letter, they should not forgett that
he is not usually considered above the grade
cf the brute who seeks to drive his knife or
strike his blow under cover of darkness.
The knife may sometimes wound, the blow
occasionally smart; but unless it be from
the hand Of utter degradation the pain can
not be so great as that Of him who has
played the part of The bravado. P5iladsl-

Found in the Grass.
By M. QUAD,

A squadron of cavalry riding slow
Across the plains in search of the foe,
Which was ever ahead.
The red mans trail may beplaln to the eve,
And hunters may chase as the crow doth fly
They will ever be led.
For the red man rides with lightning speed,
No rest for rider-no rest for steed
Till the hidden lair is won.
The soldier in chase will tire or fall,
Worn by the race or struck by ball.
Leaving his work undone.
