Mad n nc Way Sic was sared.


Don't go on that log" screamed
the muscnline attendant, as one Of
the damsels walked outon the careen-
ing limb Of an old dead tree, which
lay diagonally with the bank.
@Why?p but sbe kept on going.
u will turn with youp shouted
the gentleman, warmly.
Glow can it?p and The line with a
long sweep of the pole descended in
to the water.
Just then there was slight oscil-
lation Of the log, two dainty feet
swept from under a cloud Of skirts, a
Fylph-like form bent gracefully to the
treacherous flood, and, with stiaed
scream, .body and feet disappeared
from view. But for a moment only.
The next instant, like the twin ex-
tremities Of pair Of scissors, two
symetrically modelled female contin-
uations appeared above the surface,
bobbed about a second, and then
sank again. By this time the gen.
tleman was in the water, and by
4good fortunescontriyed,to get hold of
the gaiter.clad feet, and was Juggling
away manfully in the direction Of
the bank. But the unfortunate lady
appeared TO be turned wrong side
out, and dragged heavily, like an in
yerlcd umbrella. But a landing was
made at last, and the young lady,
like a capsized sailing vessel, was
put right side up with care. AS
soon, however, as she had regained
her usual balance, she turned furi.
ously upon her rescucr.
"Goa wretch! Why did you pull
me out by the feet?"
Because couldn't get hold ofany
part of you. You seemed to me to be

expressible sorrow that he said in

II Is Better.

1t is better to look up and take
pleasure in contemplating the good
and great than to find happiness in
low devices and mean acts. 1t is
better TO tell the truth than to tell a
lie; to do good than to do mean; to
save a reputation than TO blast one;
to have charity than to be critically
severe; to love your fellows than to
bate them; better to lift the fallen
than to pull down those already up;
to speak kind words than to hiss out
the gall of bitterness to keep pure
than to reek with filth; to be on the
losing side Of right than to be on the
triumphant side Of wrong; to be hon
est than to cheat; to have piety than
to be Haunting hypocrite; to be in
dustrious than to be an idle vagrant;
to be fair and square human being
than to be an uncertain quantity
With your virtue, worship the true
and you may attain unto greatness,
but you can never do IL in the eyes
of justice BY trampling upon or by
despising what is under you. The
poor have as bright eyes and as ten
der hearts as the rich. They are not
below your consideration. Natures
willows will bend over them with
the same grace and beauty they will
over the son and daughter Of earth.
Concerning being true in life, Grace
Greenwood says;
"Never unsex yourself for great
ness. The worship of one true heart
is better than the wonder of the
world. Don't trample on the flow
ers while longing for the stars. Live
up to the full measure of life, give
way. to your impulse, love an enthu-
siasm; sing, smile, labor and be hap.
py. Adore poetry for its own sake;
yearn for, strive after excellence; re-
joice when others attain it-feel for
your contemporaries loving envy;
steal into your country's heart; glory
in its greatness, exult in its power,
honor its gallant men, immortalize
its women" How much better to do
things than to go sulking and sulk-
ing through life like some dishonor.
ed cur. 1t is better and easier to do
right than to do wrong. You go
straightforward to the right but APP
proach the wrong by devious and
doubtful ways.

A Rush of Business.

AS one Of the most prominent
young burglars Of San Francisco was
walking out of court the other day,
Just after having secured an acquit,
tai regarding bis latest job by a
prompt and business like 'divy' with
the powers that be, at the usual
rates, well-to do, but anxious, look
ing, stranger touched his arm, and
beckoned him into a doorway.
"You are Teddy, the Ferret, aren't
you," asked the gentleman, "the man
who was tried today for safe-crack-
ing?"
"Well, wot Of it?" replied the
house breaker.
"Why, just this-youll excuse my
speaking so low-but the fact is I've
come all the way from the San Joa
quin to look up party in your line
of business"
Have, chi"
"Yes-l-well, I've a little propo-
sition to make TO you."
EXACTLY" said the Ferret, calm
lE "you're bank cashier down in
the foothills"
"How did you know that?" STAN
nered the gentleman, much amazed.
"And your cash and accounts are
to be gone over by the directors on
the first, and us you can't realize on
your stock, you want me to gag you
some time next week, shoot your hat
full of holes, find the combination in
your breast pocket-book and 60
through the safe in the regular way"
Great heavens, man! how did you
find all that out?"
"Why, guessed it. It's the regu-
lar thing, you know. Got three or
ders to attend to ahead of yours now.
Lcmme see. Can't do anything for
you next week, but might give you
Wednesday and Thursday of the
week after. How'll that suit your"
The cashier said he thought he
could make that do, and in less than
five minutes they had struck bar.
gain and arranged the whole affair.
Even New York isn't much ahead
of San Francisco in regard to mod
ern conveniences.

Effect Of Eroquenec.

A story is told to the effect that
Rufus Choate once moved client to
shed tears. The man, who was on
trial for some offence, listened to the
eloquent plea until over come. He
said, weeping, to a friend: 81 didn't
know was such an injured man.
A similar effect is said to have
been produced on horsc-thief, by
the eloquence Of Governor s., Of
North Carolina. AT the trial the
Governor made such u touching
address that the jury acquitted the
prisoner.
"Jem," said an old acquaintance,
after the prisoner had been discharg.
ed, "there's no danger now; but
didn't you steal that horse2"
"Well," replied Jem, "I've all
along thought took that horse, but
since heard the Governors speech,
don't believe l did"

Is 4 Mule q Horse Z

Hugh Clark was before Justice
Ricord yesterday afternoon for trial
on the charge Of violating the city
ordinance by allowing horse to run
at large ON the public streets. On
the part Of the city witnesses were
produced to substantiate the charge,
but on the part Of the defendant it
was shown that Clark had not owned
u horse for six months, but had mules,
and that it was mule that had been
on the streets. The defendants coun-
eel commended that, as the city ordi-
nance says nothing about a mule, the
defendant was not liable. The City
Attorney insisted that q mule was a
species Of horse and that, as the de-
PENDANT admitted that his mule had
been grazing on the streets, he was
guilty of = violation Of the ordi-
nance. Justice Kicord said he had
no doubt that the Common Council
intended that no horse or mule should
run at large, but he must construe the
ordinance strictly, and he therefore
dismissed the complaint.-Newark

NICOTINE POISONING.
A Man Cuts His Hand while Clean
Ing His Pipe, and Loses an Arm.

Ing His P1pe, ana Loses an Arm.
A rather unusual case of nicotine
poisoning occurred lately In q Pa
risian suburb. The victim, man in
the prime Of life, had been cleaning
his pipe with a clasp knife. With
this he accidentally cut one of his
fingers subsequently, but as the wound
was Of trivial nature he paid no
heed to it. Five or six hours later,
however, the cut finger grew painful
and became much swollen. The In
fammstion rapidly spread to the arm
and shoulder, the patient suffering
such intense pain that he was obliged
to betake himself to his bed. Medi-
cal assistance was called in and ordi-
nary remedies applied Intellectually.
The sick man, questioned as to the
manner in which, he had cut himself,
explained the use to which the knife
had been applied, adding that he had
omitted to wipe it after cleaning his
pipe. The apparent mystery was
thus cleared up, and as the patients
state had become alarming he was
conveyed to the hospital. Upon his
the doctors attached to the
institution declared that in the i'm
mediate amputation Of the arm lay
the only hope Of saving the patients
life. The poisoned member was
amputated; but in spite of
the promptitude with which the
operation was performed the man
lies in SO precarious condition that
the chances Of his recovery are said
to be slight Partisan.
