One day q discussion arose as to the
extent Of his meanness. and in order to
settle dispute a committee Of three
went to the ruinous dwelling where
Brown resided. He met them at the
door. and the lady member of the
committee said:

"Put it in my cellar?"
"Yes."
''Tap it. and give me a glass to
drink It out of"
"Assuredly. Anything else ?" asked
the fair speaker, waxing indignant at
the miser's barefaced meanness.
"Yes."
Old Brown looked at her a moment,
the greed of avarice sparkled in his
deep-set eyes, and then he slowly
muttered
"Whar will you give me for the

Greely's Use for Mormonism.
New York Corr. OF tho Chicago Tribune.


One OF the very best stories | ever
heard OF him was told the other day by
Samuel Sinclair, who during the latter
part of Mr.. Greeley's life, was business
manager of the Tribune. One winter
Mrs. Greedy went to the West Indies
for her health, and the following spring
she sent for husband to come after her
and bring her home to New York. In
due time they got back to Gotham, and
that morning Mr.. Sinclair received word
that Greeley was not feeling well, owing
to his voyage, and had decided to stay
at home for the day. In the evening
Sinclair was going to Washington on
business. and 80, valise in hand, he call
ed at GreeH's house an hour or two be-
fore the train was to start. He found
the old man in bed, and actually very
i'll, having suffered terribly from sea-
sickness all the way out and all the way
back. He was alone, the other mem
bers OF the family being either ill or
away from home, and SO Sinclair deter
mined to pass the night with him, CIV
ing up for that time his trip to the capi-
tai. Presently Greeley wanted his
back rubbed, and the impromptu
nurse was somewhat surprised to find
that his patient hadn't stitch OF cloth.

blazes would it look after I'd sleepin it?'
"Well, in due time his luggage arrived,
and Sinclair made bolt for the article
he wanted. After some rummaging he
found it, and helped the old man put it
ON. Ii was speedily fastened at the
neck, and the nurse took up one OF the
wrists and tried to button it. There,
however, he stuck fast. The ends

was no 90. Still, rs the patient sald
nothing he supposed it ought to be tas-

purpose. For about twenty minutes he

This is a failure. 1t won't fasten.'
"No." replied Greeley, with exaspera-
ting calmness, Il knew it wouldn't. The
