THE FOUR QUEER COMPANIONS.

Cibbsr the actor and dramatist, in COM
pany with three friends, once made an
excursion. Cibber had false set of teeth |;
one of his friends, glass eye; second
friend cork leg; but the third had moth
ing particular, except remarkable way of
shaking his head. They travelled in post
coach; and while at the first stage, after
each had made merry with his neighbors
infrmity, they agreed that at every batting
place they would all affect the same singu-
larity. When they came to breakfast, they
all squinted; and as the countrymen stood
gaping round when they alighted:
"Od rot it !" cried one, how that man
squints!"
"Why," said second, "here be another
squirting fellow"
The third was thought to be better
squinter than the other two, and the fourth
better than all the rest. In short, lam
guage, cannot express how admirably they
all squinted, for they went one degree be-
yond the superlative. At dinner they ap-
peared to have cork legs, and their stump
ing about made more diversion than at
breakfast. At tea they were oil deaf, but
at supper, which was at the Ship, at Dover,
each man resumed his character, the better
to play his part in farce they had con-
certed among them. When they were
ready to 90 to bed, Cibber called out to the
waitAr:
"Here, you fellow, take out my teethl"
'Teeth, sir ?" said the man.
cay, teeth, sirl Unscrew that wire, and
they'll all come out together" After some
hesitation, the man did as he was ordered.
Then another called out
"Here, you, take out my eye!"
s'Lor', sir" said the waiter, "your eye?'
eyes, my eyel Come here, you stupid
dog! Pull up that eyelid, and it will come
out as easily as possible"
This done, the third cried out:
'Here, you rascal take off my leg!"
This the waiter did with less reluctance
having been before apprised that it was
cork, and also conceiving that it would be
his last job. He was, however, mistaken.
The fourth watched his opportunity, and
while the frightened waiter was surveying
with rueful countenance, the eye, teeth ano
leg lying on the table, cried out, in
frightful, hollow voice:
"Come here, sir-take off my head!"
Turning round, and seeing the mans
head shaking like that of mandarin upor
a chimney piece, he darted out of th'
room, and, after tumbling headlong dowr
stairs, ran about the house swearing tina
the gentlemen above stairs were certain.

INDIAN ARCHERY. A

Indian archery is somewhat different
from that practiced by the young ladies
and gentlemen of more civilized society.
These latter take the arrow between their
fingers, place it against the bowstring, and
make it assist in bending the bow. An In
dian does not do this. He takes the arrow
between the thumb and the index finger,
and pulls the bowstring with his middle
finger; nor does he raise his arrows as our
boys and girls do; he shoots straight out
from the shoulder and appears to take no
aim whatever. He hits the mark, though,
too often, as the soldiers of the garrison
can tell. who have flung their hats or caps
in the air, at some Indians suggestion,
only to have them pierced by the unerring
arrow. The growing papooses-thet is, as
soon as they are able to toddle, are fur
nished with bows and arrows, of which the
points have been sharpened, and may be
seen about the reservations shooting at
marks, at small birds, or anything else that
NAV attract their attention. They gen.
orally become expert at the age of ten or
twelve, but are not allowed 10 graduate
into buckage and all the pleasures of the
chase until they are sixteen or eighteen.
Then is the time the real pleasure of the
Indian is found to culminate in his first
hunt after bufalo.--St. Louis Evening Post.

is pretty clear that in the present un-
settled feelings towards savings banks
this can not be done. The bank has a
surplus of $9S,000 and it's officers
are men of experience, but the
trouble is with the public. Old de-
positors will not continue their accounts,
and new ones are neither as plenty nor
as full of confidence as in years gone by.
Depositors in voting should clearly under
stand the question, and vote their own
sentiments on the subject uninfuenced
by anything that interested parties may
have to say. The question, as presented,
is clear one: Shall the present officers
be directed to close up the affairs of the
AUX and pay off the depositors, or shall
thew on on the bank and resume business?
The tellers se,' ,'ected yesterday will be at
the bank every day till the 9th inclu-
sive to take the sense of the depositors on
the question. Voters will be required to
bring their pass-books, and be as fully
identified as if making any transaction
with the bank, and persons acting for de-
positors must hold legally drawn powers
of attorney authorizing them to do so.

AUDACIOUS ROBBERS.

An audaeious band of robbers, says an
English paper, have been carrying on their
depredations on the Geneva line of railway.
They went so far recently as to cut down
the telegraph posts, and to threaten to
throw the trains off the line. The police
authorities have proved quite incapable to
prevent these malefactors, and the railway
company has been obliged to enter into
communication with them with the view of
purchasing their neutrality. The chief in
spector OF the Geneva line received letter
not long since asking that the sum Of ten
thousand francs should be placed in par
ticular spot. The request was complied
with, but spies were stationed around the
locality indicated for the purposs of secur-
ing the robbers. The efforts of the police
were however, unsuccessful, and an
other letter has been received by the rail-
way officials, in which complaint is
made about the employment of spies, and
the price of the good will of the band is
fixed at double the amount originally
named. However strange it may apyear to
the reader, this is exactly the point at
which the negotiations have arrived be-
tween the railway company and the out.
laws, who have struck terror into the
employees all along the line of the Geneva
railway.
The malefactors recently attacked the
train from Saint Etienne to Theirs They

point known as Sailsous- Couzan, but it was
fortunately discovered by the company's
servants before any harm was done. The
treacherous preparations to overturn the
train were made at a precipitous part of
the line, where an accident must have
been attended with the most fatal eonse-
quences.

AT the meeting of the depositors of
the Cincin.~ti Savings Society, held at
College Hall yesterday, resolution was
passed authorizing vote on the ques-
tion of continuing business or closing up
the concern. AS savings banks have
gone of late, the Cincinnati Savings So
ciety can be classed as very successful
institution. Its officers are capable, hon
est and trusted, its affairs have been
pretty well managed and it has suffered
from no defalcation, robbery, nor any
of the calamities that have fallen upon
80 many savings banks. But the ex-
preston of the depositors, yesterday, was
pretty clear that they considered that its
days of usefulness had passed and that
the proper thing was now to wind up
with the utmost promptness, and thus
honorably end a concern that lived with
out disgrace while its fellows were falling
all around. Some Of its old officers evil

We should think our exchanges would
begin to let Emily Soldene's mouth alone.
1t may be good deal of a mouth, but we
have no doubt it is composed throughout of
the best materials. However that may be,
is it just is it gallant, is it well, to hurt the
poor ladys feelings by these repeated allu-
sions? True, Miss Soldene mightbew wise to
tie her mouth in bow-knot and use it at
the back of her head but is she not her own
mistress, and is not this a free country ?

THE prayer of Rev. Mr.. Moore at the
Republican Convention in Music Hall
few weeks ago was the first instance on
record where prayer was received by
the listeners with applause. But the
minister prayed that the Convention
might indorse the course of President
Hayes, and this was so in accordance with
the spirit of his hearers that they couldn't
help applauding the sentiment 1t may
be remarked in parenthesis to prevent
making a wrong impression, that General
Beattie did not join in the applause.
Since that time good deal has been said
and written about political and other
prayers, but by far the neatest one we
have yet seen was by Rev. J. S. Kalloch,
of San Francisco. He opened Fourth
of July celebration with prayer in the
following words: eve pray that our
rulers may all be righteous; that cur peo-
pie may be peaceable; that capital may
respect the rights of labor, and that labor
may honor capital; that the Chinese may
go and good men stay"

ISAAC FRIEDLANDER, who died in San
Francisco last week, was known on all
the Exchanges of Europe and America
as 'The Great Grain King" He was an
original Forty-niner, and was one of the
first to appreciate and profit by the i'm
mense agricultural possibilities of his
adopted State. He was born of Jewish
parents, and was a man of unusual size,
being six feet and seven inches in height
and massively built in proportion. In
grain speculations he gained and lost sew
eral fortunes, and when he died was in
good circumstances. The San Francisco
papers speak of him with one voice as a
man of giant mind, wonderful business
capacity and generous impulses.

NEITHER Banning nor Goss can carry
the Second District over Tom Young,
should he be the Republican nominee,
and Democratic leaders may as well
make up their minds to that at once. If
they wait to save the District they
must nominate man of such unques-
toned character that his candidacy will
appeal to the solid business interests Of
the District His Democracy must be so
thorough that he will carry the entire vote
of his own party, and he must be man
upon whom not even the shadow of sus-
picion has ever fallen in regard to mu-
nicipal rings. Neither Mr.. Banning nor
Mr.. Goss meets these requirements, hence
neither can be elected and the candidacy
of either would be fatal to the chances of
the party in the District.
