ADVICE 70 A YOUNG MAN .-Remem-
Der, son, that the-world is older than you
are, by several years that for thousands
Of years 1t has been so fun of smarter and
better young men than Yourself that their
feet stuck out Of the dormer windows !;
that when they died the old globe went
whirling on and not one man in ten
million went to the funeral or even heard
Of the death. BE as smart as you can, OF
course. Know as much as yon can with
out blowing the packing out Of your cyl.
inder head shed the light Of your wis
dom broad in the world, but don't daz-
zlu ploople with il. And don't imagine
thing is so simple because you say it is.
Dom. be too sorry for your father because
he knows so much less than you do; re-
member the reply DR.. Wayland to the
student Of Brown University, who said it
was an easy thing to make proverbs such
as Solomon wrote: Make few, :"
tersely replied the old man. And we
never heard that the young man made
any. Not more than two or three, any
how. The world has great need Of Young
men, but not greater need than the young
men have OF it. Your clothes lt you bet
ter than your fathers fit him they cost
more money they are more stylish !;
your moustache Is neater the cut OF
your hnir is better, and you are pret.er--
oh, far prottier than PA" But, young
man, the old gentleman gets the biggest
salary, and his homely, scrambling sig
nature on the business end Of check will
drain more money out Of the bank in five
minutes than you could get ont with
ream Of paper and n copperpIate sigma
ture In six months. Young men are use
ful, son, aud they Are ornamental, and
we all love them, and we couldn't en-
gineer pic nic successfully without
them. But they are no novelties, SON.
Oh, no, nothing Of the kind. They have
been here before. Don't be so modest rs
to shut yourself clear out, but don't be so
fresh you will have to be put away in the

restored from peaceful lunacy to con-
sciousness to which death would be relief
One morning the old attendant of whom
have spoken interrupted my gloomy
medtations with countenance moro
than usually cheerful, that seemed to rad
attic the light of some hidden hope.
Harden" he remarked, "you are
growing vigorous again in both body aud
mind. l have II message for you that
may excite you little. Do you think
you can stand an agreeable surprise?"
"Anything agreeable to hear would,
indeed bea SURPRISE" l replied. "But
my dear friend, fear the world could
now hardly afford message to me suf-
fciently plessurable to inspire any ap
prreciable excitement"
"Wel, If you are confident to that ex-
tent l will permit the bearer ofthe mes
sage to impart it directly to YOU"
The old man withdrew, and presently
returned with q companion. a thrill,
promonitorv of some great surprise,
startled me as heard the approaching
footsteps.
raised my eyes. Great heavens !
they met the old love-ook of my wife,
ready to advance into my arms.
The ardor with which ] returned her
embrace was assuring that my power of
nerve. was restored.

PEELED, and a ray of gladness burst in up.
on my heart, streaming through the
dark clou of despair thathad hung over
me those long and wretched years. l
laughed and wept by turns. And then
dew the recovered treasure Of my life
more firmly to my breast, fearful | was
stil in II dream, that might vanish, and
leave me again in misery and despair.
And how did You follow me hcre?" l
demanded, when sufficiently collected to
make ;he inquiry.
"Therc is your address, my wife re-
piled, handing me an Eastern paper conr
tanning the following paragraph, copied
from San Francisco paper:
"FoR STOCKTON Am unknown man

some street Yesterday, and taken before
Commissioners of Lunncy, and by them

From what could be gnlhered from his

den, from New York City. and he i'm
AGNES himself to have committed some

"And who was that struck down and
killed?"
"Your own reflection in our pier glass
mirror, which was shattered to atoms the

And so it was my own second self and
none other.
We remained in California, my wife
and I, for IFS air is genial and It's skies

SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY.
How Some ola Magazine Pictures
Were Reproduced.

The apparent mystery in the spirit
photography business is one that has
been puzzling good many people in
this and other cities Ardent Spiri:ualists
believe in the mater Grmly. while skep
ties thinl; the matter is humbug. The
only laboratory whore these photographs
are turLed out in the city is Miss He'd,
ley's gallery on State street. Two ladies
We're dcsirous ofascertaining the truth of
the matter. They both sat for picture,
which, when finished, showed spirit
alongside Of each. In the first photograph
the spirit was that Of a young lady on a
balcony with her hand to her face, her
hair and costume being in the style and
fashion of thirty years ago. Tho other
photograph showed the spirit Of a woman
dressed in costume of about the same
period her hair done in ringle's, banded
on the top near the temple with strings Of
pearls. In her hand is flower intend
ing to represent rose. The pictures of
the ladies themselves are clearan sharp
ly defined, while those Of the intruders
are hazy, but with the outlines clearly
defined. When the pictures were finish
ed the ladies took them home, and in ex.
amining them closely concluded they had
seen the spirit part somewhere before,
and in turning over the leaves Of some
old lady'S magazines they had in the
house ran across the engravings of the
originals. The first one is taken from an
engraving representing Nourmahal," I"
md the second is from m engraving by
II. Fleming, intending to represent " The
Last Rose Of summer" On comparing
the photographs with the engraviugs
there can be no doubt on the subject, and
this discovery has runchred the humbug,
at least so far as Miss Hedley's is con,
cerned.
Yesterday afternoon the photographs
and pictures came into the possession Of u
representative Of this paper, and in order
to ascertain how the negative was worked
to have one picture very sharply defined
md the other so hazy as t. be nearly un-
distinguishable, be visited the gallery OF
u leading photographer on State street,
who showed him ina practical manner
the moclus operdnN. A negative is first
taken Of the engraving. When the sit
ter comes fora picture the negative is
turned tho other side, the collodon put
on and the glass put in the cnmera. ln
this manner The portrait of the sitter is on
one side Of the glass and what is intended
for the spirit on The other. When the
negative comes to be printed the paper is
placed against the side of the gloss hav
ing the portrai, Of the sitter mud exposed
to the light. The spirit being on the
other side Of the glass has to strike
through it which gives il the hazy ap
pearanco, while the portrait, being on the
side next 20 the light, comes out clearly
defined. Any one who is desirous OF do~
ing SO can test this for himself, and the
illustration shown by the photographer
explained the matter fully to the eyes Of
the enquiring newspaper man. The
more artistic photographer il, Of course,
the more uncagthly he can make the
work, and the gentleman in question
said he could produce picture of the
most CHASTITY description Rochester
Union.

A FUNNY NEWSPAPER FIeHT-Thc
two Republican morning newspapers, Of
Cleveland, Ohio, are having high old
newspaper war. The singular feature
about The fight il The fact that this en-
counter has taken legal turn. This is a
very novel feature. While the newspas
pers, as q rule, arc very apt TO display in
their columns sharp controversial qusli
ties in the race for latest and exclusive
news, this is the frst instance we can re
call whore the parties have appealed to
court and the law toseitle their diiIeren,
ces. Il pears from all accounts that
young man named Rick, reporter Of the
Ledder "got the bulge" on the Herald
hovs by siczing the manuscript of thn
annual address Of the President Of the
Superintendent's Section OF the Ohio
Tencher's Association. There was only
one copy in existence and So the Her
aid reporters followed young Rice on his
way home, and when in comparatively
retired place, one grasped and pinioned
his arms, while another went through
him for the manuscript. Then, at the
instigaton Of the LeGder, Rice swore out
warrant and had the three reporters ar
rested for highway robbery. And now
both papers are barking back and forth
with great asperiiy, one threatening To
push matters to the full extent of the
law and the other hurling back dednance.
It is the funniest newspaper quarrel we
have como across for some time, viewed
from this distance. Pttsburg Post.

EXPERIENCE AS A LUNATIC,

The confederate force of Gen. Early
had gained the mastery in the Shenan
doah Valley, and our demoralized bat
talions were falling back precipitOtely
through Winchester.
Sheridan dashed upon the scene, and
his presence, like a spell, checked the re-
treat and infused new courage into the
disordered mass. Our battery reached n
knoll to the left of the pike, and unlim-
bered in front of a tmbered slope, on the
brow of which the Confederates had post
ed heavy battery. Theinantry line on
our front was advancing splendidly, and
| saw the cleaning crest of bayonets fall
when the order came for a charge on the
double quick.
