SToRY-TELLERs. - Occasionally, an
anecdote or joke, we'll told, sets off con-
versation admirably, or breaks the ice
of formal silence /; but the confirmed
story-teller is nuisance and bore.
Yet it would be hard to say whether
such as these are duller than those who
make interrogatives the staple of their
conversation. Admirable as a thirst
for information undoubtedly is, human
patience cannot bear an indefinite
amount of REORGANIZATION, especially
when it suspects that the questions are
merely put for the sake of finding
something to say. Those people are
especially worrying who are constantly
bringing in some pet word or express
sion, with or without an Ineligible
meaning. How obnoxious are those
who end ninety-nine out of every hun.
dred sentences with "you know"
Equally dreary and irritating is the
repetition Of some terse reply such as
" really" exactly" or "just So" We
once had an acquaintance who nearly
drove US to distraction in three days
visit by replying to all remarks, "You
think SOL" To such q pitch we're we
finally wrought up that it was with
difficulty We refrained from snsppishly
retorting, "No dontw

work, and Bruno was holding MIN
tightly by the skirts when he heard
his masters step he whined pitifully

Laura? She was sick and unconscious
quite time she has never fully recov
cred, nor do think she ever will. Her
first request was for little Will they
told her as gently AS possible that he
had been up youder almost two weeks,
but her grief was uncomfortable. She
asked that al her worsted and fancy
work might be distributed among her
friends, as reminders, she said. that
fancy work was well i'll it's place, but
should never absorb the mind 10 the
exclusion Of real duties. and particu-
larly motherly duties. The sofa tidy

Nobody likes to admit that lynch law
would be right under any circumstances,
yet there is little doubt that there are
cases in which lynch law would be
highly beneficial, to say the least. An
instance Of this kind occurred in New
York Bay the other day. The steamer
Sylran Dell was returning from Coney
Islart. with 700 people on board m stly
women and children. In this crowded
boat man rushed up from below shout.

The man was arrested and it was found
that he raised the cry to give his fellow

crowd. He was ultimately fined $40.
This seems to be all the law can do in
such u case. Yet the man who ma
liciously cries fire" in crowded thea.
ter or steamer ought to suffer tor it.
If the steamboat authorities had
chucked that villain overheard no one
in Detroit would feel angry enough
about the matter to go to New York and
make fuss aboutit. Detroit Free Press.

ENGRAvINas. -Engravers are not suf-
ficiently appreciated +; for fine engrav-
ing is, perhaps, more than any other
work of fine art, a triumph. What the
painter achieves by the use of thou
sand tints. and the sculptor or architect
by projecting his thought with the sub
stantial attribute Of form. the engraver
presents with equal effect upon the1
plain surface of the paper with printers
ink alone. By the alchemy of his art,
the black line of the engraver Is trans
muted to the rosy blush on beauty's
cheek, and the soft beaming of her eye.
At the touch of his magic wand the
almost inspired plate bursts into v;stas.
long lines stretch away and melt in the
distance. Face or figure, landscape or
sea-view. city, palace. or cathedral,
seems solid rs the great globe itself,
nor can the reason persuade the sight
that the scene before it is only white
plane lined aud dotted with black.
If you must study during this hot
weather, choose some nice, light SUBJ
ject that will not tax the brain too
heavily. The philologists who met in
Newport lately showed great discretion
in this matter. Instead of attempting
some nnwieldly subject, they wrestled
with something light aud airy. For
instance. Mr.. Stephen Pearl Andrews
read delightful paper on the Crit
cal aud Rhetorical Labors of Dionysius
of Halicarnsssus," and lie also gave
them some of his views upon " Ideal
ogical Etymology, rs a Distinct Method
in Philology." Go easy this hot weather.

MILL PLAIN, JUNE 29.-Y esterday as Mr.
Berg was returning from Vancouver he
stopped at the residence of Mr.. Corless to
leave an article which he had purchased for
one of the family. Leaving his two little
children in the wagon he proceeded to the
house, and while in the house his horses
took fright at an OK driven near by and i'm
mediately started on the run. They soon
threw the little boy out, and after going a
short distance overturned the wagon. One
of the horses falling they came to a halt.
On coming up MIR. Berg found the little
little girl under the wagon box and was
happy to find neither of the children in
jured, and nothing broken save the wagon
tongue and gun that was left in the wagon.

track, while Thos. Gillilran and II. Blair,
with gun and knife followed in hot haste.
After an hours chase bruin was overtaken
and shot at, but the shot seemed to take lit
tie effect, and the chase continued until
noon, when Bounce" overcome by the in.
tense heat, could go no further, so the hun.
tiers came home for recreation and intend to
renew the chase when "Bounce" is able to
travel, fully persuaded that with such dog
