How He LOST His BET.-"The re-
frigerator must be brought before the
people and am just the man to do It.
Don't talk to me about your newspaper
advertisements. I'll show people how to
advertise without cost. You don't catch
me paving a newspaper for advertising,
not |. I'm too old for that, and I'll
show folks new idea. Expect I'll make
my fortune yet with my genious.' - and
he laughed a satisfied laugh, and at once
set about making practical test Of his
new method of diffusing information.
He mixed up pot Of black paint,
procured several large sheets of card
board, and after much experimenting and
repeated attempts, finally succeeded in
producing two signs that read as follows :
Fifty dollars to the man who can
prove that any two things put into this
ice chest will taste one of the other"
He had refrigerator run out to the
curbstone, hung sign over each side,
and retired indoors to await the expected
rush of customers. People passed up
and down the street, jostled each other
in their hurry, glanced at the ice chest
and its signs, and went on. After some
hours of disappointed hopes and expecta-
tions the dealer saw pedestrian halt,
calmly peruse the wonderful announce
ment, and rather hesitatingly advanced
to the door.
"Do you mean it," he inquired in an
anxious tone, pointing over his shoulder
to the signs.
"Yes-sir-ee," emphatically responded
the dealer.
"Put your money up insinuated the
stranger
mo, sir" responded tbs dealer in
pompous style; my word is as good as
cash"
"All right; I'll take YOU" responded
the stranger as he departed. Some time
after he returned with a box under each
arm.
"Stick toyour agreement" he queried.
"Of course | will, answered the deal
er, wondering what in the name OF
Christopher Columbus the man had in
view. The stranger set his box down on
the sidewalk, and crowd began to col
lect. He told the dealer that he was
afraid that he (the dealer would back
out of the bargain, but the latter again
asserted his readiness to put up the
stamps if necessary. The stranger had
box, lifted cat out and put her into
the refrigerator; then he opened another
box, and took therefrom wire cage
containing large rat.
"Now, mister, you just shut that in {

dearest hopes, spoke of his love, of his
future happiness, of their speedy mar
rage He reminded Matilda that her
hand belonged to him, and he requested
her to look often upon the ruby of his
mothers ring while thinking of him. He
concluded by announcing a happy tiding.
He was charged by his ambassador TO be
the bearer of important dispatches to
Paris. Before month was over he
would again see his beloved Matilda.
The letter was put into the counts
hands. He saw through it all. He went
to Matilda's apartment with the open let
ter in his hand, and, handing it to her,
said coolly:
Il can imagine your scruples, but why
did you not explain yourself sooner: You
have sworn that your hand will belong
only to him! Very well as soon as h,
arrives l shall take it upon myself to
make your promise good, added he, with
a frightful smile.
Matilda did not even shudder; she
seemed to have nothing more to fear upon
earth
In short time Napoleon returned to
Paris; but he was much altered. Grief
and despsir had preyed upon his heart, for
he had heard of his misfortune.
The day after his arrival small ebony
box was presented to him, which had
been brought by servant in livery. He
opened it. His horror and anguish might
more easily be imagined than described.
That casket contained a bloody hand
the hand of a woman-Matilda's hand
On a paper, stained with blood, he read
these words: $50 does the Countess
de - keep her word" Roaring with
rage and Indignation, he took his pistols
and flew to the counts house.
The count and Matilda had disap-
peared during the night, few hours
after the bloody deed, and no one knew
whittier they had gone.
On the night Napoleon had recognized
his mothers ring on the doctors chain,
he had gone to that ball because secret
presentiment had urged him thither.
The next day DIR. Lisfranc and his an
tagonist met in the wood of Nincennes.
The doctor received a severe wound be-
low the armpit. He lay long in danger,
but hopes were entertained of his .rccov
cry. Before leaving his adversary, the
doctor related to him the incidents of that
terrible night on which he had been COM
PEELED to commit a crime for the sake Of
humanity.
However" added he, Matilda could
not have suffered much; sublime exal-
tation sustained her courage, but am
sure she was happy in her suffering, in
the thought that her hand, at least, would
be returned to you. And when it was
over | heard gentle voice murrmuring
from behind the curtain that hid her from
my sight: Tell him, beseech you, that
my heart will 20 toward him even as my
hand Had it not been for the ring |
could not have fulfilled her wish.

AN AWFUL PUNSTER.

The mysterious disappearances' from
time to time reported in the New York
papers, are among the most startling as
well as the strangest phenomena in the
economy of modern life. In an age when
society is more perfectly organized than
ever before, and in a city possessing the
finest police in the world, man suddenly
disappears in broad daylight, and not so
much as a brass button of his pantaloons
is ever recovered by his bereaved friends
and creditors.
We propose to lay bare at least one of
these mysteries, and to show how an in
nocent countryman from Connecticut
placed his life in jeopardy under circum-
stances which completely justified his
annihilation.
After landing from the steamboat, he
strolled leisurely along South street, and
finally fetched up in front of the Zoukers
barrel factory. He entered the office and
asked one of the busy clerks:
as this the Cooper Institute"
The clerks exchanged significant looks,
then one of the number calmly replied:
"Yes, this is the Cooper Institute
Il thought it barely possible, - said the
young man from Connecticut.
At this point the bOOk-keeper signaled
to messenger to 60 for the execu,ioner,
and tell him to bring along his biggest
club. The messenger hurried faster as
he heard bucolic nutmeg casually remark:
Il understand you are doin' stavin'
business here"
The book-keeper allowed they did,
while he mentally resolved to put the body
in gum bag.
"What are those barrels all full o
holes for he asked, pointing to a lot Of
potato barrels.
Those are for potatoes, and the holes
are to let the air in" was the reply.
81 didn't know they was any good,
they're all bunged up so. What's in that
one there
"Well, we keep puncheon that re-
piled the book-kecper, willing to prolong
the interview until the man with the club
arrived.
"You see" said the unfortunate youth,
"Tm travelling in Gag, and my motto Is,
If you don't find what you seek, cask for
it, But that's big one there.
"Yes, that's the biggest one we make.
Five of our girls danced a Scotch reel on
it the other day, and had room to spare.
wall, do tell. That's what Id call
FIVE gallon one
Even then his life might have been
spared. There was still lingering pity
in the breasts of his auditors, though the
circle of employees began to close about
the unfortunate youth with ominous looks,
and then the man with the club was seen
to moisten his muscular palms and take
a good fresh hold. But "whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad The
next utterance of the unhappy youth
sealed his fate:
"Do you know what the hogshead: !"
The subsequent proceedings was a sad
blow to the young man from Connecticut
1t made the tierce fall from the eyes of
every barrel bangor in the crowd, but
stern justice had to be done.
They buried him deeply At the dead OF night,
In a barrel the boss-eooper made bin;
Aud they swung few slaves about The poor wight,
Bu. nobody knows where they laid him.

Tiger" an old white horse owned

years, died recently. When Tiger shoe,

Sabbath bells from any others, and on
Sunday morning needed no guiding to the

would start off for church, even if the
Doctor was not behind him. No longer

The silver-mounted ebony distaf Of
Queen Marie Antoinctte, which figured
at the late Paris Exhibition, has been
handed back 70 It's owners, the Imperial
family of Austria. Quite an interesting
story Is connected with this relic Of ths
past. 1t is the same distaF with which
the unfortunate Queen bcguiled the long
hours of her captivity, and after her ex-
ecution it was given as a mcmento to one
of the ladies in attendance. 1t thence
passed into the family of Brassy-Raincin,
the last representative of which, Mad
anne Ia Descairierc de Rainsin, has just
