An Englishman's Lark. !"

A character known as the crazy Eng
lisbman" recently died at Leavenworth,
Kansas. He seems to have been reck-
less prodigal, ne'er-do-well, and one who
was most of the time on big spree.
The following is an account Of one of
his larks when pretty well fuddled:
One night while disordered fancy was
holding high revel in his brain, he hired
hearse, a coffin and several mourning
carriages and proceeded to have fun
eral all by himself. He placed the
coffin inside the hearse, got into the cof-
fin, attended with a bottle of whisky,
and, with the hired carriages following,
the solemn procession took its course
through the principal streets of the city
inst as the mantle of night was being
drawn about the tired metropolis. No
one in particular noticed the cortege as
it wound its way through the crowd of
carriages and buggies laden with pleasure
seekers, merely remarking, perhaps, that
it was queer time of day for such an
observance. But when the procession
made its appearance upon the same
thoroughfares twoor three times in such
quick succession, mot having been to any
Of the cemeteries in the interval, the
idea gradually dawned upon the people
that they were being duped, and upon
closer investigation Green was found sit
ting upon his coffin in the hearse, drink
ing, and having the best time imaginable.
and too much under the influence Of
liquor to realize what sacreligious
piece OF mockery il really was.

The new Russian uniform bids fair to
be very handsome. We find the follow
ing description of it in the PaN Nal
Gazette:
"This new dress is very similar to that
which was worn by the portion of the
militia which was embodied during the
Crimean war, and consists of caftan,
or long coat, with two rows of buttons,
and made either of black, dark green, or
grey cloth, according to the province to
which the man belongs. On the shoul-
der-strap the number of the regiment is
to be marked in yellow figures. The
cloak is of redish grey cloth, and is of
the same pattern as that worn by the
soldiers of the regular army. The cap is
of dark green cloth, and on the front of
it is a brass cross, on the center of which
is the cipher of the emperor, and on the
branches the inscription: For the
Faith and the Gar On the caps of the
militiamen who are not Christians the
cross is replaced by brass plate with
eight projections, on the centre of which
again is the cipher of the emperor, but
round the outside of the plate the motto:
For the Car and the country The
armament of the men is to consist of a
gun and some kind Of pioneers tool
either an axe, shovel, or a pick. The
uniform of the officers is of the same
pattern as that of the privates, but the
skirts of the coat or caftan are scanned,
while in that of the common soldier they
are of one piece; and gold scales will take
the place of the shoulder-straps. The
cap also is of the same color as that of
the privates, hut the brass cross is re-
placed by gilt badge. Finally, the
trousers are to be of the same color as
the coat, and are always to be worn
inside the boot"

when the region was like the dark and

near Covington was the only place Oi
refuge, and he said to his wife, I" Kate,
I'll carry our children to the fort first
and then come back for you." Taking
the children, he hastened toward the
fort. The indians made their appear.

Salve.

We never knew there was anything
particularly interesting about salve until
last Saturday, when we were being
shaved. The salve which we then no.
ticed was embalmed in roll of muslin
on the little finger of the left hand OF
our barber. Perhaps there is no place
where salve about to introduce itself to
ones closest attention can better secure
that object than ON the little finger of
the left hand of ones barber. Even we
ourselves we're surprised vt the amount
of interest we took in the matter. It
was simply extraordinary. We did not
suppose it was possible that a small
spoonful of salve would so. .engross one in
these days of striking and wonderful
performances. We didn't learn what
was the trouble with his finger. We
might have found out by ipquiring, but
it was not a tin e for conversation. We
left the imagination to toy with this sub
ject. There was no opportunity TO OBJ
serve the color of the sslve, ~ the rag
hid that, but the color did mot interest
US. No, it was not the color. But the
color of the rag was evident enough at q
glance. 1t might Be described n a
three-days-old tint. The rag was fas-
tened by q thread. One end of the thread
dangled to the length of about two
inches. When the invalid finger was
elevated to within that height. the
thread playfully troilea our nose. This
tickled that organ amazingly. Then the
afflicted finger would deseend until it
displaced the thread with itself, and this
would Immediately knock endways al
the hilarity created by the titiilation of
the thread. Thus alternating between
the hill-tops of delight and the. valleys
Of gloom the usual twenty minutes
seemed to extend intn hours, and q fea-
ture of nsaferia nsedica that never before
attracted our least attention, was now
and forever firmly planted on IN or
chestral cha;. in the inner temple of our
very existence.-D Dantsyy News.

Rettibutive Justice

Apropos of an item of news which
comes all the way from Italy, and Is tt
the effect that Mrs. John Lorrimer Ora
ham, wife, now widow, of our former con
sui to Florence, is about to marry hel
first husbands Italian secretary, there is
a little story. Mrs. Lorrimcr was be.
fore her marriage Miss Josephine Gar
ner, daughter Of the millionaire proprie-
tor Of numerous great cotton manufac.
tories. Mr.. Graham belonged to good
family, but had no fortune, and was oc-
cupying the position of confidential
clerk in Mr.. Gamers Office when he mar
ried his daughter. At the time of a
business crisis, about 1857, when no man
felt safe, Mr.. Garner, as a precautionary
measure, placed 100000 in his son-in-
laws keeping, not as gift, but in trust
against possible contingencies. Those
possibilities became realities. Mr.. Gar
ner failed, but relied on his reserve fund
to begin life anew. He applied to his
for the money, but Mr.. John
Lorrimer Graham declined to relinquish
He had it, and he was determined to
keep it.
every WE'LL" remarked Mr.. Garner;

but remember, you have got all
you will ever get from me-" He kept
his word. He did go into business again,
he succeeded so as to leave when he diedj
a few years ago, a fortune of several
millions behind him. One million dol
ars of this money was left to his daugh-
er Josephine after her husbands death.
Before that event she could not touch it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham lived abroad,
md entertained magnificently on the
interest of the 100000 and the insight
icant salary of a United States consul.

widow came in for her million, which is

Bear HMntine in Russia.

| scar 0Muuu1 IN SU0ol8.
| The following singular means of car
turing or killing the bear is said to s
frequently p-acticed BY Russian peal
ants who cannot easily procure firearms
As is well Known, the bear has 4 fond
ness for honey, and will track his way
great distance to where the wild bee
have filled some hollow tree. Theil
sting cannot har. him, and they anc
their stores are entirely at his mercy
In . forest known to contain bears, the
hunters examine all the hollow trees,
till they discover Wild beehive. A
branch OF the tree Is then chosen, directly
above the hole; II there is no such, q
stout peg is driven into the trunk. To
this peg strong cord is fastened, and to
the end Of the cord a heavy stone or .
cannon ball is suspended, at about half
a foot from the ground. The bear in his
researches comes upon the treasures Of
honey. The perdufous barrier obstructs
and incommodes him good deal. He
is an irritable brute-in sach cases one
Of the most irritable o. we'll a. stupid in
the forest. He begins by showing the
weight or stone one side; but it presses
against his head, and he gives it q slight
knock to free himself from the incon-
venience. 1t recoils moment, and he
receives a smart tap on the ear.
His temper is reused, and he
again pushes of the hard and
heavy mass, but more violently;
he gets rather heavy blow ON the side
of his skull, on his return. He becomes
furious and with powerful jerk sends
the rock swinging away. The pendulum
cannot be the first to tire of this game;
and it is game in which the blows are
felt on one side exclusively. The bear
alone suffers; and the point is that he
suffers as much by the blows that he gives
as by those he gets. He takes double
punishment. His very retaliations are
all against himself; and for every fur;-
Gus pu III which makes his skull ache, be
receives an immediate equivalent, which
makes it ache again. At last his rage is !
he hugs the block; he
strikes it; he bites it; but whenever he
would thrust his head into the hive,
back on his ear falls the obstruction,
against which his terrible hug or the
blows of his paws are of no avail. The |
brute is maddened. He faces his strange
and pertinacious tormentor and once
more makes it rebound from his skull. |
But back again it swings like a curse,
which returns upon the head from which |
It. started. The bear falls exhausted
lndeE these reiterated blows, one more |
violent than another; and il he be not
lead, the hunters who have watched the
contest from their hiding place, soon dis.
,atch him.
