The Old Department Clerk.
[Washington Post. ]

There is something charming in the
deep and abiding affection with which
the memory of an old government Off
cial clings to the home that he left long
years ago and to the people who, amid
the more pressing cares of the busting,
pushing world, have long since forgot
ten him. To hear him speak of ''my
State" you would suppose him to be an
important factor in its local politics, a
conspicuous figure in its social life and
not unknown in its business circles.
But il you were to go to the place Of his
nativity, to the locality whose people,
scenes and incidents are the staple Of
most Of his conversation, and ask about
him, the Oldest inhabitant would
scratch his aged head and ponder long
before he could evoke from the
caverns Of memory the fading name
and dim form Of the youth who left that
section Sin the earlier and better DAYS
Of the Republic to accept clerkship in
Washington. Apleasing illustration of
this peculiar phase Of Washington life
is a venerable gentleman who came
here in early manhood and has never
returned for even short visit to his old
home. Time has lent many an embel-
fishing touch to his recollection. and
distance lends enchantment to the
view. Year after year, as he. has
fondly and lovingly described the

Many Lovers.

At the time Of the coup d'etat one Of
the commissaires Of police, who was
charged with the arrest of some twenty
or thirty prominent Republicans, being
newly married to a very loving and
Jealous woman, had some difficulty in
finding some excuse for his nocturnal
absence that would satisfy her. Finally
he hit upon the happy thought Of tell
ing her that he had been called upon to
arrest the paramour Of wealthy noble
mans wife; that cunning trap had
been laid to surprise the guilty lovers
that it. would be one of the greatest
scandals of the century, and that she
should have the earliest and most ex
elusive and authentic account of the
whole affair. The commissioning wife
naturally did not close an eye all night,
and at early daybreak, hearing a hum
in the street without, rushed to the win
dow, drew the curtain and beheld her
husband with a strong guard escorting
a score Of prisoners or more. "Well, I
never! How many lovers had she?"
said she, with degree of surprise that
under the circumstances was, perhaps,
eXcusable,

The Sleep walking Old Maid.

A correspondent writes from CASTLE,
N. Y: A singular case of somnambu-
lism occurred in this village few nights
ago. Miss Mahala Rose. a maiden lady
OF quite advanced age, deliberately
jumped from a second story window In
her night clothes and barefooted, struck
on her feet fright side up with care, T"
and never awoke. She walked about
the yard, and finally stepped into some
water, which was too cold for old Nor
pheus, and he let up. The lady, upon
finding herself In such q plight, began
the sound Of his daughters voice In the
middle Of the night, out of doors, filled
her aged father with such fear as he has
not experienced during his eventful life.
Her midnight escapade and door yard
ramole was attended by no serious con-
sequences.

Japanese Breaches of Promise.

O. After Japanese lover has proven
false to his VOWS, the deserted maiden
rises at about 2 o'clock in the morning
and dons a white robe and high san
dals or clogs. Her Golf is metal tripod,
In which are thrust three lighted can
dies; around her neck she hangs a mir
ror, which falls upon her bosom; in her
left hand she carries small straw fig
ure, the effigy Of her faithless lover, and
in her right she grasps a hammer and
nails, with which she nails it to one OF
the sacred trees that surround the
shrine. Then she prays for the death Of
the traitor, vowing that if her petition
is heard she will herself pull
out the nails which offend the God by
wounding the mystic tree. Every night
she comes to the shrine, and each night
she strikes in two more nails, believing
that every nail will shorten her lovers
life, for the god, to save his tree, will
surely strike him dead. It is q curious
Illustration OF the hold that supersti-
ton yet has on the japanese mind.

o. WHO WOULD LOVE- BUT A SINGLE
GIRL?

o. who would love but single girl?
The man who would love but one
land her alonel is simple churl.
And worthy, ween. OF mono.
Then give me the girl with the coal-back eye,
And hair OF the ravens wing;
For you she'll live and for you she'll die
o. she Is the girl l singl
But would find me another love.
Lest one should aweary grow,
Or false or tickle or hollow prove.
Or marry or die, you know:
Then. give me the girl with the eye OF blue.
And hair OF the golden blonde;
For eyes that are blue are tender and true.
But never are overload.
And having two would find third
I've love and to spare for three
And none would murmur soccer word;
To each I'd q lover be.
Then give me the girl with the hazel eye,
And hair OF the auburn ray,
For none so love when their loves are nigh
o, she is the girl for me!
And still another-for love begets
Itself In a year or so,
And some they say in year and day
A dozen OF new ones grow.
Then give me the girl with the eye OF gray.
And hair Of the tawny brown.
For she will love with her head for aye;
Her heart iS-a common mount
Y.
AS love doth feed on its own increase,
I'd love-but ne'er could tell.
