THERE are tricks in all trades-ex-
cept the newspaper business. 1t was
for long time q mystery to the hon.
est colored citizens of Sacramento,
California, how the Dime Savings
Bank of that city, wherein their mod
est surplus was carefully deposited.
could possibly fail. Up to the very
day the doors were closed the passer-
by who was at all curious could see in
the window of the bank an immense
pile of $50 rolls of silver duly marked
and the impression naturally prevail
ed that the banks resources were
boundiess. After the bank went up
or down, or whichever way banks do
90 when they cease to be-the person
employed to clean up the premises
discovered q number of these rolls,
and thinking he had found bonanza,
called in witnesses to his good fortune.
On examination, however, the rolls
turned out to be neat little lengths of
lead pipe of the diameter of half
dollar and it became very clear how
the bank was SO much shorter than
the public supposed.

1DLENEss is the mother of vice, and
a boy who is allowed to grow up in
idleness is pretty sure to be vicious
man. The parents of such boys have
q fearful responsibility resting upon
them, when they let their sons run
about late hours of the night instead
of keeping them at home reading good
newspapers and books, and training
them into moral habits so as to become
respectable men instead of idlers, rum
drinkers, gamblers and losfers, which
is sure to be the case with the night
runners and day idlers. Give the boys
plenty to do, and you will preserve
their morals. Better q tired boy than
q vitiated mind.

Advising about the treatment of a
little girl who stammers, the New
York Tribune says:
Teach her to speak slowly, deliber-
ately and distinctly, and take as little
notice as possible of her stammcring.
We know little girl of nine years
who had been so carefully trained to
read with distinctness and precision,
that though she stammers sometimes
in conversation, she rarely hesitates
in reading. This little girls father
stammered badly in his boyhood, but
cured himself by persistent elocution-
ary exercises, and in manhood was q
fluent public speaker, with no trace Of
the infirmity. Habitually speaking
from full lungs is said to be a perma.
nent cure for stammering in grown
people.

JOHN RANDOLPH oUTDONE

Here is one of the many anecdotes
of this eccentrict man of Roanoke.
Hewas travelling through a part Of
Virginia in which he was unacquaint-
ed, and stopped one night at an inn
nesr the forks of the road. The inn
keeper was fine old gentleman, and
no doubt belonged to one of the first
families of the Old Dominion.
Knowing who his distinguished
guest was, he endeavored during the
evening to draw him into conversation
but failed in all his efforts. But in
the. morning when Mr.. Randolph was
ready to start he called for his bill,
which on being presented was paid.
The landlord, still anxious to have
some conversation with him, began as
follows: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, f.,,.., .,
(which way are you travelling, Mr..
Randolph
Sir 2 said Mr.. Randolph with look
of displessure.
Z asked said the host, which way
yOu WcEc travelling!

Yea

NO.
We'll, I'm going just where please.
Do you understand?
yes
The landlord by this time got some.
what excited and Mr.. Randolph drove
of. But to the landlords surprise,
the servant returned in q few minutes
to inquire for his master which of the
forks of the road to take. Mr.. RAN
dolph not being ont of hearing dis.
tance, the landlord spoke ont at the
top of his breath
Mr.. Randolph, you don't owe me
one cent; just take which road you
please -
1t IS said the air turned blue with
the curses of Randolph.
