The Conundrnm Fiend.

He came in hurriedly with the usual
" How're YEP" salutation, brushed
aside pile of exchanges, took seat on
one corner of the editorial table, and
with an encouraging smile observed
"Say, I've got an A copundrum you
can't guess in two weeks. had a big
notion TO send il TO the Scientific
Monthly or tho Philadelphia Bank

journals devoted to original humor and
light literature, but little reflection
told me it was my duty TO patronize
home industry, so III give it to you for
nothin'-not charge you solitary red
for it.
And squirting a stream of tobacco
Juice with unerring accuracy into ten
dollar cuspador in the northwest corner
of the room, he wiped his mouth ON his
coat sleeve and propounded the follow
ing awful conundrum
Why-which-th is, what is the
difference between the widow Perkinson
and her daughter Sallie? Now then l'
"About seventeen years, perhaps"
we replied at random, without suspend
ing work on a labored and convincing
editorial on Chow the Turks Might
have Whipped Russia"
"Oh, pshaw, moi" he growled !:
"you couldn't guess it in two months !;
and it is easy enough, too, when you
know the answer. One"
Zone has a husband and the other
wants one, we again ventured.
"No-Great Cesar, no |" he howled
you would stumble on the right answer
in two yea"
Zone, I'VE interrupted again, "is q
widow and the other is a wee dear"
"There you go again !" the tone Of
disgust considerably deepened. "You
can't guess it in seven yea"
"One mourns for late husband;
and the other mourns because her hus-
band is late-coming, we essayed once
more.
Julius Antony, no - he fairly
shrieked, teizing our shears and fiercely
impaling several exchanges to the table.
cts boss conundrum, and you might
guess for seventeen years, and you"
"What was the front name of the
widows dear departed ?" weaasked, be-
coming interested in the fiend's conun-
drum, in spite of a previously formed
determination to kick him out of the
back door in five minutes out of posi-
BILE six.
William" he replied, between his
clenched teeth.
"Aha Now we have clew to the
answer. One has lost her Will, and the
other hasn't lost her will-by a large
majority.
"N-n-n-O - he howled, in bold
faced plea caps, which nearly overturned
our inkstand, and made the windows
rattle. "Great Obelisk, man, what
one-hoss conundrum guesser you are!
I'll tell"
Zone is born to wed, and the other is
worn to"
Before we could finish our answer.
which if we remember rightly, fits TN
original conundrum propounded by
every minstrel troupe in the land during
the past twenty years-the fiend slid off
the table as if he had collided with
bent pin, and cried aloud:
"Why, you darned idiot you wouldn't
guess it in two hundred and thirty
years. The difference between the
Widow Perkinson and her daughter
Sallie is"
:" How old is Sallie?"
e. is this : the daughter has a
moire antique dress, but her mother has
more antique face. See ?"
We reluctantly confess that the fend
escaped with his life. .-NorriStOsU

The Manchester Guardians London cores
pondent says: "The first impressions among
the leading men are that the government will
deem 1t necessary to appeal to the country that
the incident will dazzle the constituencies and
that the Premier will take advantage of that
effect to renew his lease of office. The fact
that Turkey does not part with her sovereignty
over Cyprus will render it more difficult for
the opposition to challenge the policy OF the
government. That it will be challenged there
can be no question, though as yet, there Is no
sign of movement on the front of the oppo-
sition bench To make England responsible
for Turkish good behavior is however so
fraught with danger aEd is such reversal
OF our policy of non-intervention that we may
count upon severe struggle between tue
great political parties which will itself afford
justification for that dissolution which Lord
Beaconsfeld so ardently desires.
Yesterdays sitfing of the Congress.
BERLIN, July S.-The Congress in to-day's
sitting disposed of several additional frontier
questions Of minor character, and arrived at
satisfactory settlement relative to Batoum.
The report is confirmed that the raising OF the
Notifications of Batoum has not been formally
broached in the Congress. 1t is stated that
special understanding will be entered into on
this subject. Question as to the Notifications
on thu land side will not be discussed, so in
that respect Russia will be unrestricted. lie is
declared in high Russian circles that this
settlement OF Batoum question was arranged
at private interview between Lord Beacons-
field and Prince Gortschakoff this morning.
The settlement leaves the Lazi territory under
Turkish control. 1t is also declared that at
the same interview Beacons6eld fully and
frankly defended the Anglo-Turksh couven-
ton. Gortschakoff replied that Russia saw
nothing Objectionable in the convention as she
entertained no projects for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT on
the coast of Asiatc Turkey. He perceived no
difference between England's occupation of
CVDruS and her OccupatiOn of Malta He
would always be pleased with everything
tending to strengthen England's road to India
bee ause it was calculated to promote the pros
perity of the whole world. Gortschakoff and
Beaconsfeld then shook hands as a pledge of
the new relations between the two powers.

A dreadful death from hydrophobia has just
shocked the theatrical and artistic world in
Paris. Early in June M. Cheri Montigny, a
young man of two and twenty, the only son of
the manager of the Gymnase, was slightly
bitten by favorite bulLterrier, and not sus-
pecting any harm did not take the precaution
of having the wound cauterized. The dog was
sent to a veterinary surgeon, and died from
some internal complaint not hydrophobia, and
the unfortunate youth dining with some friends
on the day of the review actually congratulated
himself on not having alarmed his father. Two
days after the symptoms of hydrophobia set in,
and the patient had the strength of mind to
request strait waistcoat to be put upon him.
He died in fearful agony.
