BETTER THAN A SHOT. Gun A mer
chant doing business near the foot OF
Jefferson avenue, used to spend about
half his time in explaining to callers
why lie could not sign petitions, lend
small sums, buy books or invest in
moonshine enterprises, but that time
has passed, and it now takes him only
two minutes to get rid of the most per-
sistent case. Yesterday man called to
sell him a map of Michigan. He had
scarcely made known his errand when
the merchant put on his hat aud said:
"Come along and Ill see about it,"
He led the way to = boiler-shop, two
blocks distant, wherein hundred ham.

ing to the center of the shop and into
the midst Of the deafening racket he
turned to the agent and kindly shouted:
Nov, then, if you know of any
special ieasons why I should purchase
q map of Michigan. please state them
at length"
The man with the maps went right
out without attempting to state treason

AUTUMN LEAVES AND PLANTs.-It is
very easy to have plants and climbing
vines in the house. Many of our COM
monest seeds will develop into things
of beauty. The sweet-potato vine is a
charming climber. A carrot or turnip
followed out, kept filed with water,
and suspended in the window, will
soon cover itself with the most beauti.
full foliage; Q cone filed with wheat
and set in o glass of water reveals all
the mysteries Of termination and
growth. These simple adornments are
within the reach OF even the poorest,
and time spent upon them is by no
means idly spent. As for autumn
leaves, there is no end to the ways in
which they can be used for decoration.
We saw once in large parlor cornice
fvs inches wide. made entirely OF ferns
and autumn leaves most gracefully
grouped. The effect was simply exqui-
site. Bunches of grass. dyed or crys.
tallized, are within the reach OF every
body. Old boxes and picture. frames
may be covered with moss and lichens
and be used as receptacles for branches
OF ferns and bouquets Of everlasting
flowers. Pasteboard may be covered
with birch bark and made into wall
pockets which are very pretty. Au-
tumn leaves, ferns and MOSES may be
used in their decoration. Crooked
boughs of trees hung with moss and
ornsmented with lichens are suitable
hall or library ornaments. Kept free
from dust they retain their beauty for
o long time.

How the Car Nicholas Suppressed y
PLAY.

A characteristic anec Tote of the EN-
peror Nicholas is contained in the me-
moirs of the lete Privy Counselor Bo-
suslayski. extracts from which have
lust been published by the Russkaya
Staryue monthly magazine of st. Pc
tersburg. Hearing that play entitled
"Catharine II. and her Favorites " had
lust been brought out in Paris, which
represented the Empress in the blacklist
colors. Nicholas at once sent special
courier to Count Pahlen, the Russian
ambassador at the French Court, with
the following letter: ION receipt of
this go at once, whatever may be the
hour to the King of the French and
announce to him my will that all the
printed copies of the play of 'Cathar-
inc H. Oe Immediately con6scated, and
that its performance be forbidden in all
tie Paris theaters. II the King de-
clines to do this, ask for your passports
and leave Paris within twenty-four
hours. answer for the consequences"
When the courier arrived, Count Pahlen
was dining with King Louis Philippe;
and, acting on his masters orders, the
courier sent to inform the Count that
he had arrived with pressing message
from the Gear. The Count read the
dispatch. and then, hurrying back to
the royal table, begged the King to give
him O few minutes audience. Louis
Philippe, much astonished, went with
the ambassador into an adjoining room,
where Count Pahlen handed him the
dispatch. But" observed the King
after reading it, though your Emper.
or's will may be all order to you, it is
not to me. I am constitutional SOW
ereign, and cannot comply with this
demand" eff that is your Majesty's
final answer" rejoined Count Pahlen,
" l must beg to have my passports got
ready" The King then said he would
consult his Minister; and few hours
afterward decree was issued confisca
ting all the copies of the play and pro-
hibiting its performance.-PaA Mall

DIFFERENT MoDEs.-All over the
world it is the fashion to make wedding
gifts-a good old fashion which has de-
scended from feudal times. In a start
in married life certain necessaries in
the way of furniture, crockery and so
on, we're always acceptable. Rich peo-
pie and feudal lords, would not OBJ
ject on the bridal of their daugh.
tiers, to receive presents from their
vassals. In different countries differ
ent modes. The penny weddings
in Scotland are peculiar. lnvi-
ted guests make contributions in money.
One shilling is the general tribute, and
half crown is princely Offering.
Out of the sum thus collected the not
very costly expenses Of the feast were
paid. and the surplus went toward buy.
ing the furniture. In the weddings Of
tho poorer classes in Ireland this levy.
ing contributions on guests never takes
place. There is collection, however,
to raise sum for literally compensa-
ting the clerical gentleman who " has
tied the knot, and in the house of q rich
farmer, this swells up to a good round
sum. In Wales, among the small farm
ers and traders, the custom prevails to
this day of "bidding," not single
guests, but whole families. to q wed.
ding. That such an event is to come
off; with the where and when, is duly
advertised in the local newspaper. with
q request that all persons who, in time
past, have been similarly obliged in that
manner, will attend, bringing presents
for the bride and groom. Beside this,
written invitations are sent, so that the
invited guest can scarcely evade his OBJ.

A Pleasant Evening.

As the evenings grow longer, in,

should assemble together to make them
pleasant. Last season, a gentleman OF
social tastes hit upon a plan which is
worth following. Early in the season

thirty or forty of his frieuds-no more
than his double rooms would seat com.
