the garment he had taken off before get
ing into bed.
"Oh, / expect to be out tomorrow and
want that to wear then. FL ow would ii
look after I'd slept in it?"
Well, ID due time his luggage arrived
and Sinclair made a bolt for the article
he wanted. After some rummaging he
found it, and helped the old man to put
it on. 1t 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
wouldn't meet by fully two inches. He
tugged and twisted to his utmost, but it
was no 90. Still, as the patient said moth
ing, he supposed it ought to be fastened,
and rodonDled his efforts for that purpose.
For about twenty minutes he labored
without success. Then hesaid:
This is q failure. It won't fasten"
"No," replid Greeley, with exasperating
calmness, 81 knew it wouldn't. The fact
is, never could button the thing myself
But you seemed to enjoy it, SO I didn't
disturb you.'
He lay back on the pillows for few
moments, as if thinking deeply, and then
sitting bolt upright, lie brought his fist
down upon the quilt and exclaimed:

as this, I'll be blamed if don't have che

From the Oil City Derrick. Oct. 10
Yesterday small boy with his head
bandaged entered g bookstore and said
he wanted to buy some school books. As
the clerk was waiting on him he inquired
the reason his customers head was tied
up in such shape.
"Oh,' responded the boy, in matter
of-tact way, "a horse bit off my ear this
morning."
emo" said the clerk, doubtingly;" what
was the trouble, anyway"
Il tell you he did bite it off," the lad
said. with some warmth, s'and [ can prove
it too. Just you look here now," and
reaching down into his pocket ne drew
forth wad of newspaper sooked with
blood and slapped it down on the counter.
A crowd formed around the little fellow
who with great gravity and pardonable
bit of triumph proceeded to unwrap the
unsavory mass. Then he pulled forth a
CHASTITY relic in the shape Of human ear
evidently torn out by the roots. There,
didn't I tell you So" he cried exultingly.
"He fetched it out on the first nip" The
boy gave his name as Eagan, and said he
lived on the Clapp farm. while work
ing in the barn the horse reached his
head over the side Of the stall, caught
the little fellows ear in his teeth and
chewed it off. Having thus delivered
himself, the lad carefully rewrapped his
precious ear, thrust it IN his pocket and
departed.

Greeley's Trouble With His Shirts.

One winter Mrs. Greeley went to the
West Indies for her health, and the fol-
lowing spring she sent for her husband
to come after her and bring her home to
New York. Now if there was one thing
the old man hated, it was the sea. The
very smell of salt water made him sick
But nevertheless he obeyed his wife's call,
as he was accustomed to obey her every
whim. In due time they got back to
Gotham, and that morning Mr. Sinclair
received word that Greedy was not
feeling we'll, owing to his voyage, and
had decided to stay at home for the day.
In the evening Sinclair was going TO
Washington on bust less, and so, valise in
hand, he called at Greeley's house az hour
or two before the train was to start He
found the old man in bed, and actually
very i'll, having suffered terribly flem
sea-sickness all the wav out and all the
way back. He was alone, the other
members of the family being i'll or away
from home, and so Sinclair determined
to pass the night with him, giving up for
that time his trip to the capital.
Sinclair said he in that querulous
whine of his, s'I'm as naked as the day
was born. My trunks haven't arrived
yet, and havn't got night-gown."

ChOate's Criminal Clients.

In bis arguments for persons who had
become complicated in seemingly crimi-
nal acts Of which they were. at least, not
so guilty as they were accused of being,
his mastery way Of putting himself, by
imagination, IN the place of his clients,
and exhibiting all the pathos that could
be elected from their embarrassments
and struggles, often drenched his clients
themselves in irrepressible tears. They
hardly knew before what heroes and
martyrs they were. They wept at the
eloquent reca pitulation of what they had
suffered and done; they became poetic
personages, worthy Of the pen Of Scott or
Dickens; indeed, they were SO much af-
fected that they considered Lawyer
Choate should charge little representing
them before the community in their true
light, and therefore often forgot or ne
elected to pay him anything. His dra-
rnatic power in exhibiting the interior
feelings Of the halt guilty, the quarter
guilty, and the guilty who are perfectly
innocent in their own conceit, and there
fore regard prosecution as a persecution,
was so wonderful that many Of the per-
sons who were acquitted through his ex-
er5lons never paid him what theys would
have paid an advocate who had less iden-
titled himself with their interests and
characters. Indeed, after his work was
done he appeared himself to set modest
estimate on its value. The occasions
when be obtained large fees were Que to
his paltner,who made the contrcts before
hand; for Mr.. Choate generally consid-
cred the obstacles in the way OF getting
verdict for MS clients formidable INT
the case was settled, and was Indifferent
to the amount eff the fee only after he had
succeeded.--Edo1n p. Whsppze in Hnrp-

of the white nastic or pale putty-colorsd
satin. The trimming is narrow satin rib
bon, of the mastic shade, with gold on
the reversed side and profusion OF mar
about feathers tipped with gold. Across
the front is scarf of pale Spanish
blonde, exquisitely embroidered with fine
gold threads. This can be fastened al
the side or under the chin, or in anyway
to suit the wearer's pleasure and con
venience.
Old laces can be used to great advant-
age; for instance, for transfer work.
Very fine Malinestulle is taken and cut
in collar; then the designs Of the lace
are carefully cut out and sewed on to
form close grounding. A pretty model
TOR matinee is of white cacbemire de
plnde, cut peplum. It has long points,
finished on the ends with handsome silk
tassels. The matinee is drawn into the
figure by means of belt, and the front
part OF the waist falls loose over this belt.
i'he neck trimming consist of mousse
line de l'lnde fcbu, which forms collar
e1te, and long shell-shaped jabot. The
points of the peplum are joined and tied
over the front OF the skirt.

quilt house in my beautiful dreams,

[ built a house in my beautiful dreams,
In a sunny and pleasant nook,
Where might listen, the whole day Ion
To the voice OF the gurgling brook;
A cottage, with wide and airy rooms
And broad and shining floors
A house with the hidden charms of home
And the freedom Of Cut-of-doors.
Fair morning glories climb and bloom
At will by the eastern caves,
And on the doorstep and window-sill
The roses shake their leaves;
And fair old-fashioned lilacs toss
Their purple plumage high,
While honeysuckles drop their sweets
On every passer-by.
Down at the end of pleasant path
Is a group of evergreen trees
Pine ana hemlock, and spruce and fir,
With their spicy fragrances;
And, sweetest picture Of calm content
That mortal ever saw,
Under a low boughed apple tree
Is a beehive made Of straw.
| have pictured il all hundred times
shall do it a hundred more;
But never shall own the pleasant home
With the roses over the door.
Never dream of mine came true
It is fate's unbending law;
Inever shalt see the apple tree,
Nor the beehive made of straw.
But yet in the airy realms of dreams,
Where all my riches be,
enter into the heritage
Which is else denied to me,
I have but to close my eyes to find
Ny Eden without d flaw
The home, the garden, the apple tree,
And the beehive made Of straw.

heart grows weak and faint;
lie marks when their siren 9Th is failing, and
listens to each complaint;
He bids them rest for a season, for the path
way has grown too steep;
And, folded in fair, green pastures,
He giVeth His loved ones sleep.
Like weary and worn out children, that sigh
for the daylight's close,
He knows that they oft are longing for home
and its sweet reposn;
SO he calls them in from their labors ere the
shadows around them creep,
And silently Watching DER them,
He giyeth Ais loved ones sleep.
He giyeta it, oh, SO gently! as a mother will
The babe that she softly pillows so tenderly
on her breast.
Forgotten are now the trials and sorrows that
made them weep;
For with many soothing promise
He giyeth His loved ones sleep.
He giveth it! Friends the dearest can never
this boon bestow;
But He touches the dropping eyelids, and
placid the features grow.
Their foes may gather about them, and storms
may round them sweep,
But guarding them safe from danger,
He giveth His loved ones sleep.
All dread of the distant future, all fears thai
opprest to-day,
Like mists that clear in the sunlight, have
noiselessly passed
Nor call nor clamor can rouse them from
slumbers so pure and deep,
For only His voice can reach them
Who giyeth His loved ones sleep.
Weep not that their tolls are over; weep not
that their race is run.
God grant we may rest as calmly when our
work, like theirs, is done!
Till then we would yield with gladness our
treasures to Him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giyeth His loved ones sleep.

The Nevada courts are wrestling with
this knotty case: A Methodist church
expelled one of its members. and as he
thought this action was the result of
the pastors spite against him, he set
about conducting his devotions in rather
an original manner. He owns saw
mill near the church, and on Sunday he
attaches to the engine an immense steam
calliope. upon which he performs divers
sacred tunes with such volume of sound
that the voice of the neigbhoring par
son is drowned. When taxed with dis
turbance of the Sabbath peace and di.
vine worship, he responded that he had
as much right to sing praises by steam
calliope as the minister and congrega-
ton had by organ. and the temporal
courts are now discussing the case on
appeal from local magistrate who sus
tanned the plea OF the excommuuioated
saw mill owner.--Er.

Ed. WoRLD:-There was quite an
excitement created in this community
to day by the receipt of news early this
morning OF the capture of Loon creek
by Indians. Six Cinnamon came drag
ging themselves into this peaceful little
camp through the snow. They we're
eight days in making the trip from
Loon creek, and were Frost bitten and
nearly starved. The facts are. as near
as we know, as follows: On the 18th
inst, while some of the Celestials were
in their cabins amusing themselves a,
gambling and other ways, they were
suddenly surrounded by large number
OF Indians -Howard's pets-who i'm.
medlately commenced an indiscriminate
slaughter Of the Chinamen. OF about
eighteen or twenty only six escaped
The remainder are supposed to be mas.
sacred and the place destroyed by fire
as the escaped $CelestiaIs saw smoke
after leaving. At the time of the oc.
currence there were about three feet Of
soow at that place. 1t is supposed the
indians can e up from the mouth OF
Loon creek from the Salmon, where
there is large hostile camp; at least,
it is SO rumorod.

will start from this place to Loon creek
They will 90 well armed and for the
purpose Of ohtain!ng as correct knowl
