Jumping Jack,

Come with me to the park this fair
day, for wish to show you a certain
carriage and occupants and tell you a
story. The turn. out is magnificent
span of dapple-grays; carriage to
match, roOmy and costly, but not gau-
dy; and driver not in livery, as many
are, but looking just the man for his
work and such load as are making
merry within-every one of them a
hunchback! Yes, from the crooked
gentleman on the back seat TO the little
fellows up by the driver, are hunch-
backs, well dressed, happy seeming,
but with wistful look--and as they
roll by, you see in them the introduce
tion of my little story.
Something like twenty years ago a
miserable brick house in back alley
was the home of Archibald Ramsey, a
Scotch carpenter. He worked down
town in a shop, making cornices, mold
ings, mantels, and a variety of the
more elaborate parts employed IN fin
ishing houses. Every evening he took
home pocketfuls, and often handfus
also, of bits and ends of the shop.
These oddly shaped fragments of
soft, sweet-smelling pine furnished
amusement for poor little Alec, Mr..
Ramsey's hunchback boy; and when
they had served this purpose, they were
used as kindlingsi in the kitchen stove.
Alec was sixteen years old, and not
taller than an average boy Of 10. He
was very much deformed, and had he
lived in an age and country of kings
seeking dwarfs oddities for court fools
or 'jesters,' he would have been prize
to some iron-handed tyrant 1t is
about his play with the bits of pine
from the shop that l wish to tell you.
Many droll pile he built on the
kitchen floor; many funny thing he
Whitfield out to amuse the little ones !;
many a comical toy he made and gave
away to neighboring children.
One genial afternoon in May, Alec
crept out to enjoy the balmy air, and
by the noise of the crowd of urchlns on
vacant lot at little distance, was
drawn in that direction. Here he saw
a colored boy, named Jack, attempting
for the amusement of the party all
sorts of pranks in imitation of circus
performers. Bareheaded and clothed
In stripped red and yellow garments
Of coarse quality, the negro lad SEEM
ed almost made of india rubber.
Alec watched his capers In amaze
ment. Never before had he seen such
antics, or even thought them possible.
1t was no wonder that the frail stiff
jointed little hunchback dreamed 1t all
over again, as he did that night.
The next morning his whiting gen.
ius took shape from this event, and be-
tore noon he had produced a rude pine
image of the negro-head, arms and
legs loosely hung with bits Of broom
wire, and the whole curious arranged,
so that by working string, it would
jump, nod and turn somersaults, and
90 through quite a series Of contor-
tions. With colored pencils, of which
he had some cheap specimens, he black
ened Its head, neck, hands and feet,
reddened its lips, whitened itseyes and
rudely stripped in yellow and red the
body, all in imitation of the little ne
gro eymnast. Before it was completed
his younger brother who had been with
him the day before, named 1t "Jump-
Ing jack. And In the afternoon,
when he went to the vacant lot and

New York Sun.
At Broadway and Duane street, on
Saturday, the butt OF a cigar lay on the
sidewalk, and thread of purple smoke
went up from its ashes. A well-dressed
man, wearing silk hat that showed evil
dence of recent hard usage, was cycling
the half-consumed cigar, and was evil
IDENTITY making up his mind TO recover 1t.
He had every appearance of drunken
man. Keeping his eye on the stub, he
Strengthened himself up, pulled his tall
hat down over his eyes, and stopped to
reach the cigar, smiling complacently as
he extended his hand toward the butt.
In the mean time many persons had
halted, and when the wind caused the
cigar to roll away Just as he was putting
his finger on it, the knot of observers
laughed. The man again Strengthened
up, and he frowned Indignantly on
those who were around him. He
looked at the staff on the tower OF the
Western Union building, and up and
down Broadway, as though in doubt
whether he would again attempt TO re-
cover the cigar. Then he pulled his
hat over his eyes once more, and re-
newed his effort. He fell on his knees,
pitched over on his face, arose to his
knees again, and poised his hand over
the covered butt. The knot of observ-
ers had been increased tenfold, and bets
were offered that the cigar would again
elude him:
Suddenly the interest Of the throng
was turned in another direction. A man
shouted "Stop thief Tvs lost my
watch" and woman cried out that
her pocketbook was missing. About
this time man the who had been an OBJ
ject of so much interest, was also miss
ing.
"Go on, 90 on" said policeman to
the crowd; THAT the latest trick"

The Restored Carlotta.

Pittsburgh Telegraph.
The remarkable news telegraphed from
Vienna that the mind OF Empress Car
lotta has been restored, and the veil OF
mental darkness has been lifted after
thirteen long years, adds another
and the most interesting chapter
TO the romantic history of the ambitious,
but unfortunate Macmillan and his
unhappy wife. How like the waking
from a long dream it must seem TO her,
when the light first breaks upon her
mental vision The darkness came over
her while she was in Europe, where she
went in 1866, TO intercede with Napoleon
and to gain the sympathy and aid of
Rome for her husband, whose Mexican
throne had already begun TO totter, since
the support OF powerful friends was be-
ing withdrawn. The severe strain to
which she was subjected was too much
for the delicate machinery OF the brain,
and she was removed a maniac to the
chateau of Laeken, where she has since
remained. Ii she is able to write an ac-
count of her husbands brief rein on
this continent, as she is said to be do
ing, with all the romantic incidents, told
as only an eye witness 10 the scenes can
tell them, she will make one of the most
interesting contributions to the litera-
ture OF the day.

Zach Chandler Smoked Too Much.


Buffalo Express.
We recall now with sorrow an Incl.
dent hiCh was not mentioned by the
press when Senator Chandler was here.
Almost Immediately after he had finish
ed his speech he was seized with violent
pains in the stomach, and had TO be as
sisted to his room at the Tiff House.
Mr.. SchemerhOrn, Chairman OF the Re-
publican County Committee, and Major
Sohn Ryler Ia personal lriend) were
with him and rendered him all needed
assistance. The Senator's suffering was
intense. He almost tainted. But a
strong stimulant administered in large
quantity quickly subdued the pain and
the sick man was himself again. He
said he had been attacked in the same
way before, and that his physician call.
ed it smoking dyspepsia, and had warm
ed him against an excessive use OF to-
bacco. But" he added, smiling, as
the pain had by this time passed off en-
tirely, 81 guess I'll take another cigar !"
and he did. 1t appears that the lament
ed statesman suffered a similar attack
while in Chicago the day before his
death
