Slim Evidence.

\ family grocer IN the northern part
Of the city has been annoyed a grea, deal
by boys stealing boxes and other articles
from the yard in the rear Of the store.
and the other day he made ready for d
visit, determined to catch boy and
make an example Of hlm. Bv-and-by
four OF five la1s dropped over the fence
into the yard, and they were mousin2
about in search Of plumber when the grocer
rushed ut them. Somehow or other all
got over the fence, but one boz left be-
hind him on i rail about half a ward OF
cloth from his brccches With this proof
in his hand, the grocer rushed around
and out upon the street, anu. Us good
luck would have it, he coIlarei the boy
who had lost the patch.
Nov I've got you--now I've got proof.
exclaimed the grocer rs he waved the
cloth Oh high
! don't see it. cooily remarked the
boy.
You don't. Why THIS cloth was from
Your breeches; here's the very spot"
You hain't got no case agin me, mis-
ter" sald the lad, as he eyed the cloth,
for ken prove that these brceches be-
long to my brother Sam. II you want
to arrest him, go ahead''
The occasion was too big for the grocer
to grasp, and while he WAS trying tomas
ter the conundrum the boy and the big
rent walked off in close company.

You, Mr.. Editor, if not all your
readers, have seen recently in the
papers the name Of Capt. Paul
Boyton, inventor of the life-saving
rubber suit. He has become quite
hero, and has made very practical
test of his invention by starting at
Pittsburg, tar up the Ohio river, and
floating down to New Orleans. He
commenced this novel trip in March,
and made the two thousand miles
without the assistance Of any boat,
only supported by his suit and two
small paddles. When we heard he
was at Memphis and would soon be
at Helena, all were ON tip toe to see
this man-fsh, for be it understood he
enters the water just as any one does
at our famous watering places, with
his suit on, and he continued in the
water for over a month, only leav-
ing it for food or to lecture the
people. AS he neared this place the
people turned out en- masse to wit
ness his arrival. He remained here
over night, and gave an interesting
lecture.
| The negro exodus from the South
to Kansas is attracting much atten-
ton. Situated here on the great
commercial thoroughfare of the ma

movement. Thousands of the de-
luded Africans have passed on the
steamers, and we learn they have
been persuaded to leave their South
ern homes, by unprincipled men,
with propositions similar to those
made in reconstruction days-"forty

Pounded upon fact, most ofhe circumstances

1t was midnight; they were sitting on the

ceased to snOre, and she opened wide the
door, and a reason she required why such
strange noise had transpired; but Augustus,
though swell, nothing definite would tell.
Yet twas noticed by moonlight that his
mustache had turned white; and Maria to
this date claims twas nothing. but the gate
as twas quickly blowing to. like all naugh-

face there appeared a much marred place,
plainly seen by half light to have lost its

circumstances turned, and the meeting was
adjourned in accOIdRuce with the law laid
down by Maria's ma. M. NJ BEEK.

A sense of duty often causes
some ludicrous mistakes, as the
following story will illustrate !:
Near Dumfries, Scotland, lived a
pious family, who had adopted an
orphan who was half witted. He
had imbibed strict views on religi-
Gus matters, and once asked his
adopted mother if she did not think
it wrong for the people to come to
church and fall asleep, paying no
better regard to the service. She
replied she did. Accordingly, be-
fore going to church the next Sun
day, he filed his pockets with APP
Piles. One bald-headed old gentle
man, who invariably went to sleep
during the sermon, particularly at
tracted his attention. Seeing him
at last nodding, and giving nasal
evidence of being in the Gland of
dreams" he struck the astounded
sleeper blow with an apple on the
top of his bald pate. The minister
and aroused congregation at once
turned round and gazed indignant
ly at the boy, who merely said to
the preacher, as he took another
apple in his hand, with a sober,
honest expression Of countenanoe ::
You preach; I'll keep 'em awake"
