He Wanted a Paper.

He came in with a very eager look on his face, and inquired whether the pub fisher could furnish him copy of the paper of just sixteen weeks ago. He wanted it specially for something there was in it. The publisher is always ready to accommodate friends, and pro- ceeded to set the office boy at work to hunt up 3 copy of the paper of the desired date. After half an hours search, during which time the publisher had dropped his work to entertain his customer, the paper was found.
 .Ah, that's the very one want said he. I'm so glad you found it. How much is it?"
 "The usual price, five cents, 3 was the reply.
 What! Five centse Five cents for an old paper? I didn't suppose you charged anything for old papers,"
 But the publisher insisted thatthe paper was worth the money, and the customer went off in huff, leaving the publisher to reflect upon the good sense and liber- aiity of mankind in general and news paper patrons in pal alticular.--Ronae Sen- tiasel.

Two Ways of Looking at Things.

Two boys went to hunt grapes. One was happy because they found grapes. The other was unhappy because the grapes had seeds in them.
 Two men, being convalescent, were asked how they were. One said: II am better to-day" The other said II was worse yesterday"
 When it rains, one man says: "This will make mud" Another: "This will lay the dust"
 Two boys got an oyster. One looked at it and declared it nasty. The other tasted it and declared it good.
 Two boys examining bush, one ob- served that it had a thorn. The other that it had rose.
 Two children looking through colored glasses, one said: "The world is blue" And the other said: "Itis bright"
 Two boys eating their dinner, one said: q would rather have something better that this" The other said |: "This is better than nothing"
 Two men went to see New York. One visited the saloons and thought New York wicked. The other visited the homes, and thought New York good.
 Two boys looking at some skaters, one said: ''See how they fall" The other: "See how they glide.'
 A servant thinks a mans house prin- cipally kitchen. A guest that it is prin- cipally parlor.
 Two boys got each an apple. One was thankful for the apple. The other was dissatisfied because it was not two.
 ''I am glad that live" said one man. "I am sorry that must die" said an- other.
 II am glad" said one, that it is no worse." '' am sorry" said another, that it is no better"
 One man is thankful for his blessings Another is morose for his misfortunes
 One man thinks he is entitled to bet ter world, and is dissatisfied because he hasn't got it. Another thinks he is not justly entitled to any, and is satisfied with this.
 One man enjoys what he has. Another suffers what he has not.
 One man makes up his accounts from his wants. Another from his assets.
 One man complains that there is evil in the world. Another rejoices that there is good in the world.
 One says: "Our good is mixed with evil" Another says: "Our evil is mixed with good"

The Bandits of Oran.

I The police and military of Gran, Al l geria, undertook a campaign agains
 bandits last month. They were led by all the civil and military officers of the town, and its entire population took a holiday to witness their labors. Going to one of the surburbs they carefully surrounded a ravine wherein is the out let of a large sewer into which the smaller drains of the town debouch Some gardeners working in the ravine l had heard the sounds of voices escaping l from the sever, and had informed the town authorities that it was the lurking place of robbers who have for months been making successful raids on the strong boxes of the good people of Gran 1 When the ravine had been inclosed, and 1 1t had been made certian that the male l factors were hemmed in, sergeant and two zouaves were sent to the mouth of l the sunken sewer to summon them to surrender.
 Surrender yourselves !" the sergeant cried. Surrender yourselves !" deep | voice replied from within the dark cavern. Making up his mind that the
 
 l sergeant cried to a police inspector in the rear, Pass me my revolver" His 1 words were repeated in the cavern, and the voice by which they were uttered was evidently that of fearless, resolute person. At the same time there was a mockery in the tone and in the repeti- tlon of his language that angered the valiant sergeant, who said wrathtully {: You impudent scamps." The epithets were hurled back at the sergeant and his two supporters, who, with much as- l tonishment, heard themselves called, "You impudent scamps."
 Puzzled by this extraordinary con- duct, the sergeant, not knowing what else to do to conceal the fact that he and his subordinates had been called bad names by the fellows in the drain, went to his superiors and told them he be- lieved the bandits wanted to barley with their besiegers. Then the special repre- sentative of the republic of France, M . Vialo, and the mayor of Gran, and the 1 chief of police, and the major in con- | mand of the military went to the mouth of the sewer. Each in turn spoke to the robbers, and all received satisfactory answers, couched, strangely enough, in the terms they had themselves used Night fell before the parleying was done, and the robbers gave no indication of an intention to issue from their retreat and surrender themselves. The police 1 and military blockaded them all night, and about 4,000 townspeople watched the siege with interest. In the morning it was determined to risk a combat with the thieves. The police, armed 70 the teeth, therefore boldly entered the cavern. They searched it's smallest nook and innermost recess, and found not even the shadow of robber The acoustic properties of the sewer were tested and a number of facetious echoes were found to have emasqueraded as talka- tive brigands and impudent respondents l to the SunlmOnses of justice.

sl1tiu Swallowing a Pin.

Pretty Marie Chester, of the Park Theater '' Engaged company, has bees in great tribulation of spirit over an ac- cident which has been known to have serious and even fatal results. This ac- cident was in the nature of swallowing a pin.s While holding pin in her mouth q sudden fright made her swallow quickly and down went the pin, a con- mon brass one. Of course her alarm was very great and she at first moments rily expected to be in great agony. For tunately the pin must have been swal- lowed head first. At all events she has suffered no inconv venience whatever since the accident. .aHuTEa .E gF
 There are recorded several cases where a pin taken in this way has been the cause of death. The latest we know of occurred in Guys Hospital, London. about one year ago, and was recorded in several of the dailies. The pin was an excessively small one and had been swallowed two months before the man suffered atsall.- He then began to have nternai pains and wcntsto the hospital, where he died in about three weeks. At the autopsy the pin was founi sticking in his heart. sg
 This year a woman died from swal- lowing small tack some time ago Tn Cannes, France, and in Havre child of seven died from swallowing a pin.r But in this case twas more from strangula- tion, after the manner fish-bone has been known to Kill. A case came under the writer's notice in which a swallowed pin came out of a man arm near the shoulder eleven months after the acci- dent. There was a running sore for some time, but ultimately it healed up. A pin has been known in the same way to come out of the sole of the footE so Yet there are many eases in which the swallowing of a pin has been followed by no consequences whatever, neither pin nor pain ever appearing again.. This would be all the more likely, in the case of thesyoung and healthy Marie Chester is young. handsome and healthy. and it is to be hoped no results will follow Meo York Dramatic Ne,os.

Song of the Wreck.

High o'er the beach the shattered hulk, With storm wrenched timbers stern and gray Mars, with its grlm, unsightly bulk,
 The brightness ot the golden day; While tossed on high each gnarled beam,
 Clear cut against the amber sky, Like wrestling giant arms might seem,
 Flung out in helpless agony, And fancy counts the winters gone,
 Since, bowed beneath the tempest's hate, The hapless vessel, drifting on,
 Came grooming, shuddering to her fate. And gallant lives of stalwart men,
 Borne upward on the raging air, Went out mid terror, night and pain,
 In one fierce pang of wild despair. Now while on shore and sea the sun
 Its purple mantle gently lays, And far-seen islands, one by one,
 Melt in the rosy glimmering haze While yelling up through breach and seam, The sun-tpped wavelets pulsing flow, Telling the beach their summer dream
 In sea-blow murmurs faint and low Fair, gentle girls, with eyes like stars,
 And ripping laughter crisp and sweet, Cluster around the gray old spars,
 The bright foam dancing to their feet. Till when the sunlight glories fade,
 And twilight deepens into night, When, keenly flashing through the shade, Flames OCT the sea the beacon light. Their parting voices wane and faint
 To stiffness all unknown before, Save where the night wind moans it's plaint Courage, sad heart Though dark and chill Thy storm wrecked life in ruins lie, Though wailing ghosts it's chambers fill, And strength and hope and impulse die, Still youth and love some tender gleams, Some joy-light, OCT thy gloom shall cast, Stirring to transient, happy dreams
 The old sweet yearnings of the past And when the darkness falls again,
 Stand, like the water-tower, strong and sure In patience bide thy lonely pain,
 Steadfast, remember-and endure -Charles Carroll, in Harper's .MagaSfns

There is plant which grows in the southern parts of England and almost everywhere in India. The people are very fond of it as food. The roots are carefully crushed and steeped, to get from them 8 kind of powder which the English country-folk call " Portland sago," and the Indian natives name kuchoo," as if it made them sneeze with delight just to think about it.-iSt N5cholnS.

It is a card of pretentious size, nearly eleven inches square. On the other side of it are etchings of the bride grooms engaged in their. respective pur- suits; at the bottom is the church wherein the ceremony was performed; !; at the top, mingled with hymeneal em- blems, are small photos Of the most in terested parties, and in the center stands the native homes of the brides, around which are grouped the nsenu and rro- gramme of music performed by the mi,,i- tary band on the occasion.-London Mayfair.

The SIatter1l.

A woman may be handsome, or re- markedly attractive in various ways but if she is not personally neat she can not win admiration. Fine clothes will not conceal the slattern. A young wo- man with her hair always in disorder and her clothes hanging about her, as if suspended from prop, is repulsive. Slattern is written upon her person from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, and if she wins husband he turns out in all probability either to be an idle fool or drunken ruf1ian. The bringing up of daughters to work, talk and act like sensible young women is the special task of all mothers, and in indus trial ranks there is imposed also the prime obligations of learning to respect household work for its own sake and the comfort and happiness it will bring in the future. Housework is drudgery, but it must be done by somebody and had better be well than ill done.

The discovery of the fact that Chas.
Jacob, Republican mayor-elect Of this
city, procured his naturalization pa
pers "prematurely' was the general
topic Of conversation throughout the
city yesterday. On change, in stores
and manufactures and on the streets
the question, us Jacob a citizen?
was asked ten thousand times. Among
partisans the answers were in the at
irmative or negative, as the responses
came from Republican or Democrat
but among fair-minded and thinking
men the question was debated earn
estly, with a view to determining it on
its merits.
The fact of the matter appears to
be that Mr.. Jacob arrived in this
country from Havre, on the ship Isaac
Bell, March 30, 1852, consequently he
was but four years, six months and
fourteen days in the country when he
procured his naturalization papers.
City Clerk Bonner yesterday deliv-
cred to Mr.. Jacob his certificate of
election, and next Thursday he will
be sworn into Office. Whether he will
be permitted to retain possession of
the office is a question the courts will
have to decide, as q number Of citizens
intend to test the question of his ELI
gibility, and have retained Judge
Hoadley to institute quo warranto
proceedings in order that Mr.. Jacob
may show by what right he claims the

The Chicago Times expedition has
accomplished the tour of Mexico from
Vera Cruz to I'll Paso Del Norte, and
crossed the Rio Grande into the ter
ritOry of Uncle Sam on yesterday. In
the course of the tour the Times com
missioner has found full confirmation
Of the state of insecurity, robbery and
general outrage reported by him in
his correspondence in your columns.
American residents have no rights
which Mexicans feel bound to respect.
Mexican men of property are subject
to ~spoilation at the hands of any Of
their own countrymen who may take

The country is going from bad tC
worse. Revolution threatens from
every quarter. Men of property, in
case of a new general outbreak, would
not be inimieal to American inter
vention. Highway robberles and as
sassinations are things of daily occur

States of Mexico particularly. The
government is pOWerless to suppress
them, having quite enough to do in de-
Tending its own threatened existence.
The masses of the Mexican popula-
ton outside the men of wealth are
jealous, and hate America. They be-
lieve the United States will intervene
finally and spoil their trade as pro-
ROuncing patriots. A band of la

Cleveland LEADER
There is a bronze medal in the
United States treasury department
with which there is a little incident
connected that may carry conviction
to the souls of believers in omens, and
that is, in any event, of interest in
connection with the approaching four
teenth anniversary Of the 18th of
April, 1863. The medal bears an
excellent head and bust In profile Of
President Lincoln, executed BY a
medalist named Paquet, now in the
employ of the treasury department,
Early in April, 1865, Mr.. Paquet was
in Philadelphia with his work, watch
ing the completion of his medal with
great solicltude, and was greatly dis
couraged one morning to find an ugly
crack in the die, heginning back of the
ear and extending across the temple.

cost him SO much labor. A crack
In the steel die from which the
impress is taken is no uncommon
thing in medal making, but the
