GENERosITY.-I and my worst enemy
were shpwrecked on the ocean, but we
caught hold of little plank, and he un-
dertook to force me from the plank; |
overpowered him, and was about to throw
him from the plank, but generosity said,
" Not So" and we floated on the ocean for
many days without food to eat and with

little fish, then l said. II will eat the little
fish and satisfy my hunger; | will eat the

There is nothing like strong common
sense An Irish soldier went to his station
with tho order to report anything remark
able that happened during the night. A
drunken fellow fell from tho wall and
broke his neck and no report was made.
When questioned about it Pat replied -
" Faith, and l obeyed orders. If the man
had fallen off the wall and not broken his
neck should certainly have reported it,"

The fire tax which this country DAYS

The fire tax which this country pays is
something enormous. Probably from one
third TO one-half of the annual increase of
wealth goes to ashes, making good times
bad and bad times worse If there were
no such thing rs insurance against fires
there would not he so many fires.-BoStoY
HtraM.
A couple of young men were out fishing
the other day, and on returning were 90
ing past farm house, and felt hungry.
They yelled to the farmers daughters :
" Girls, have you any butter P" The
reply was gently waited back to their ears
eyes but we keep it for our own calves.''
The boys calculated that they had business
away-and they went.
The republican candidate should be

TIE PHAIR CASE.-From the beginning
to the close the case has been remarkable
one. The friends of the condemned man
have left no stone unturned to save him.
There have been many twists and turns in
the case, but running through them all
there remained unbroken threads of testi-
mony connecting him with the bloody
deed. If he suffered justly, as is generally
believed, there can be no complaint on
account of haste The Vermont authori-
ties have handled the affair with the most
exemplary caution and consideration, but
when the last ray of hope that his inno-
cence cou1 be established died out, the
violated law was vindicated and Justice
done.-Albany Journal.
SAD BUT TRUE.-If man is on the
cars and sees IL young lady he doesn't
know from Eve and never saw before,
trying TO let down the window, he throws
down his paper. takes off his hat, bows
himself double, smiles clear round to his
after collar button, says sweetly, " Allow
me !" and closes the window with graceful
skill and charming courtesy. If his sister
says, Tom, won't you please let this
window down for mep" he tucks
his paper savagely under his arm. and
stalking across the aisle, stands on her
feet while he bangs the window down
with slam that fills her face and hair with
dust. Aud if his wife, holding the baby
in one arm and a lunch basket on the 9TH
or, tries to let down the window, and says
timidly and suggestively, "Oh dear,
don't believe can get it down" he grunts,
says "ehp oh! and buries himself still
deeper in his paper. That's what you're
coming to, Laura.-Briington HaWkeye.

AS TO THE SUTRO NAUGHTINESS.

A prominent citizen whose connection with
| the Comstock during the past few years has
made him one of the best abused men in Ne
| yada, is now receiving even more than his
| usual share of nOtorety at the hands Of the
| press. Our readers need no reminding that
| the party referred to is Adoph Sutro. This
old man, whose thoughts ought to be
divided between heavenly aspirations and the
ultimate success Of his Tunnel project, Wa.
recently connected with very uusavOry dish
Of criminal scandal in the principal hotel Of
Virginia City. Ia the plainest of English let
it be stated that Sutro, it is claimed was
| caught by his wife In the bed of widow ad-
ventures at the International Hotel. Whether
or not " the green-eyed monster made Mrs
Sutro the victim Of an optical allusion, caus-
ING her to believe that she saw sights such as
| only existed in an overweight imagination
are not prepared to say bat certain 1t is
that highly exciting bit of dramatic business
followed, in which Mrs. Sutro enacted the
part of the in iured wife. Moral Virginia,
the innocent Abigail of Nevada towns Gn the
matter of a self-reliant virtuel, WAS shocked
And why shouldn't she be shocked! Innocent
Of the wiles of the lecherous, nnsus-
pecting as the most guileless child as its
mothers knee, breathing an atmosphere as
pure as the faith ofan angel, was it strange that
Virginia shOnd have been Mortified at the
Sutro scandal q To the pure all things are

Sutro mess was industrouSly and literally
ladIed out to hungry community, and all
partook Of it who liked that kind of provender.
But here comes strange feature OF the case.
While every buAoon in this section was
making mis- bad and vulgar Jokes about the
affair, and while even the little boys around
town We're limiting about - the good thing on
old Sutro," the Comstock papers were as
mute on the subject mummies. But when
a scandal wing, character wrecking black
guard sheet in San Francisco came out with
all the disgusting details of the Sutro affair,
then it was IN order to get a rehash from the
Comstock. In the language of the lobby, was
ybody waiting to be seen Did it require
nearly a week for pa0t-up vlrtuous indig,
nation TO find vent throu n columns Of nasty
details, vulgar insnuations and strained
double entendre We are no apologist for
Sutro, and no excuse can or should be offered
for the insult he has given his wife and
children. But our home papers as rule have
treated a disgraceful affair III an indelIcate,
aye, an indecent way, and in the treatment Of
the subject they do not appear to have been
by desire to improve a commun-
tvs moral tone, but rather to pander to 4
taste for unclean domestic matters

SELF C0NvIcrIoN.-JamesB Burns murdered
man at Gainesville, CT, two years ago, but
was not suspected. He confessed the crime,
but nobody believed him, and he had no way
to prove his own guilt. He told where the
body was hidden, and it Was found there; yet
he WAS discharged from custody, the authorl-
ties believing that he was innocent of pArtIci
patton III the deed. Almost discouraged, he
still set about collecting evidence against him
self, and had SO far succeeded that hen ne
lately reasserted his guilt on his deathbed, he
