He Was After Dickens.

ado you want TO hire a reporterp'
inquired red-nosed young man as he
thrust his illuminated olfactory into
this Office recently
He was informed that we had all the
help we required at present.
Sorry-very sorry" he said, bow
ing quite low; just noticed by squib in
newspaper that the immortal Dickens
began life as a reporter; first l had
heard of it, and concluded at once to
begin that way myself Dickens made
a great success of it, and what has been
done once can be done again.
We acknowledged that Dickens had
made quite a decided hit.
"a decided hit" put in the young
man, "and all l want is to start under
the same auspices. Sure you have no
place for meP"
"No place at present"
mighty sorry" replied the appli-
cant; "have Just been reading David
Center6eld,' and am quite charmed
with the authors style
"David Copperfeld, not Center
field, y we ventured !, suggest.
" Perhaps you're right; yes, now l
recollect, you are right; much obliged;
been playing base ball lately, and have
got names confused. win be in town
few days and hope you will not for
get me if vacancy should occur"
We promised to remember him and
the young man withdrew.
Protruding his beacon-light once
more, he said:
Daniel Webster, Benjamin Frank
lin and Napoleon Bonaparte also began
life in newspaper offices; but l don't
care for them; Dickens is the man I'm
after" and he closed the door softly
and went down stairs on his tiptoes.- =

not tell any of her neighbors that she
had stopped at the land-ofice Of st.
Peter, on her way back, and entered
the claim. And Van Dyke, who did
not know that she had taken load
both ways, nor how many furs she had,
came over to see Harry, who was now
able to walk about.
"Mr. Strader," said he, "I suppose

An Indian With a Beard.

A bearded Indian is a clTisoity. The
red men in this respect are singular
among mankind, the only beardless
race. OF an Indian with a beard and a
romantic legend, the Tuscarora (Nev. !
Times ReUieiO says Z
Possibly the oddest-looking savage
in the state is a denizen of Tusearora.
The oddity consists in the savage being
as heavily bearded as a Russian trooper
The Indian belongs TO the Shoshone
tribe, and is apparently sixty or seventy
years of age, stands as erect as Pom
pey's Pillar, and with his white flowing
beard and distinguished mien, is really
yenerable-looking oldparty.
There is curious legend about this
hoary pioneer of the valley. Although
the Shoshones persistently assert that
he is true-born member of their tribe,
yet the story goes that the old man is
really native of Mexico, and that he
was stolen while an infant and carried
to the North by a raiding band of Sho-
shOne warriors.
The long beard, contour of features,
and general makeup of the old fellow,
give plausibility to the legend. Whether
the tale of captivity be true or false, our
savage is an odd specimen of the Amer
lean red man.

which, added to the amount Of the orders
paid, makes the payments amount to SB1,
279,91O 80. The excess OF the issues over the
payments was $1G2 454 OF. The fees received
by postmasters for the issue Of domestic
money orders amounted to $715, ,2Gt 20. The
| average amount OF such orders issued was
SD 81, being 27 cents less than The average OF
the preceding year; and the average fee re-
Cnived for each order was 1874 cents, being
O08 greater than the average of the preceding
year
The fees are too large. The charge for the
transmission Of money order, according to
tho st. Louis Times, should not be greater
than the postage on q letter. An average OF
three cents instead Of nearly thirteen, would
bo bettor. IF our postal order system were
perfected, the demand for small notes would
be largely reduced, and thepublic convenience
consulted.

tinued, and it has fixed The quantity which
shall be brought into market Tho quota for
the year Is 17,O0O,000 tons, an Increase Of
2.00D,O 900 tons over tho past year. This, it Is
said, has given satisfaction to the miners as
more labor will be required. Activity in tho
mining districts generally is antiCipated al
though there may be q partial temporary sus
pension OF work till the close Of this month.
The several interests Of the combination are
to ship their quota in November and Decem-
Der, us may best suit their requirements.
Much as the public Is at the mercy Of this
vast monopoly and combination as to the cost
Of fuel, 1t IS TO be hoped tho power will not be
used to exact high and Unnecessary prices.
The amount Of coal to be shipped by the
different interests in the months of November
and December Is as follows: BY the Ph1la-
