A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, d. D., was
in attendance at the Presbyterian coun-
ell. One day in the week the butchers
had festival of some kind, and were to
have a grand parade. That morning
Dr. Cuyler visited barber shop to get
shaved. When the knight of the razor
had stretched his customers neck and
pushed his head as far back as possible,
and filed his eyes, nose and mouth with
lather, he said to him interTogatively,
and speaking as a friend
"Well, you're going to turn out to-
day?"
"EhT" said the doctor.
~ say you're going to have a big
display"
"Going to---what? 1 didn't catch
your remarkP"
az say you butchers are going to turn
out. You're butcher, amt your"
"Well, not exactly. 1 eat q good deal
of meat, bnt can't say that / kill much.
Still, I belong to an order closely con-
nected with butchers"
"You do. What's that?
"The Order of Cleavers."
ooh! and what do you dor"
ave cleave unto the Lord"
The astonished barber had sufficient
presence of mind to collect his fee from
the member of the Order of Cleavers.
But DR.. Cuyler couldn't help telling the
story New York Graphic.

GERMAN SOLDIERS.

A review in Berlin is pretty sight.
The troops are reviewed in the main
thoroughfare, Unter-den-Linden, and
are seen to great advantage parading up
and down the broad avenue. Prussia
being pre-eminently military country,
everything has to give way before the
organizing and drilling Of the troops;
thus it naturally follows that review of
his troops by the king in his capital
must be a review of reviews. The dress
of the troops being different in each
duchy and principality, and all meeting
more or less in Berlin, there is great
and pleasing variety of costume. The
Prussian uniform is, as everyone knows,
dark blue, with crimson stripes, and
brass helmets and gold epaulettes for
the officers on dress occasions. The
Saxons is light blue. The Hessians
have very picturesque dress, which the
kings body guards are dressed in
white cloth, with white metal helmets
and white plumes, their epaulettes being
silver This dress is beautiful, and when
a troop of these guards, well mounted
and we'll drilled as they are, goes down
the road on full gallop, the effect is
most imposing. The troops are all in
splendid order and discipline; they
have excellent military bands; therefore
it may easily be imagined that review
under such circumstances is worth be-
holding.

A LAKE STORM.

DO you know what it is to be at sea
with a gale blowing eighty miles an
hour? You may read of the wrecks
which to-day strew the shores of every
lake; you may read of the rigid bodies
cast up on the sands; you may cast your
eyes over hulk and spar and battered
plank, but yet you cannot realize the
fury of that awful gale Of Saturday.
Vessels on Lake Michigan were bowling
along before topsail breeze, when, al
most in moment, the gale came howl
ing down from another quarter, bring
ing terrible sea with it. Sails were
split into ribbons before rope could be
loosened, and masts went overheard like
broken sticks. No man living ever saw
such waves on our lakes before. In an
hour after the gale set in they were run
ming twenty-five feet high. In three
hours they could go no higher. Off
Frankfort they were fully forty feet high,
and they ran with the speed of race
horse.
The gale caught them as they reared
up, and tons Of foamy water were bro
ken off and hurried down into the trough
to mingle with the base of the next
wave. One Of the largest propellers on
the lakes, standing twenty feet out of
water, had to put about before the gale
was an hour old, and even while run
ming before it at full speed the waves
swept over her entire decks. Seaman
ship availed but little Schoeners were
almost picked up bodily by the wind and
flung ahead, and the biggest barks were
knocked about like chips.
When day broke Saturday morning
those out at sea must have realized the
wrath of death. Every plunge of an
ordinary schooner rolled floods of water
over her decks, to pour from the soup
pers as she climbed at an angle of forty
five degrees. Men had all they could
do to save life without moving finger
towards navigating their crafts. The
loudest shout could not be heard two
feet away, and the roar of the sea was
awful to hear. The passengers on the
Alpena were reused from sleep when the
gale reached her. 1t brought such a
sea that no one could have slept longer.
When the four-sco1e souls aboard were
told that death was near, they looked
out on that bowling, roaring, hungry sea
without shadow of hope that one Of
them would ever see land again. Rats
and boats would have been blown about
like feathers. Life reservers buoyed
up corpses until they were cast ashore
to be identified. Those who put them
on in the final grasp for life could not
have lived an hour in the keen wind and
icy water.
Men who lived out the gale still speak
of it with terror. Only once again will
the door of death open wider to them.
Spars and hulks are beating to splinters
on the rocky shores, and beaten and dis
figured corpses are thrown upon the
sandy beach, to be wept over and buried.
1t was the wrath of death turned loose
upon wide wastes, and that a single YES
sci escaped destruction seems almost a
miracle - Detroit Free Press.

A KNOWING CAT,

About five years since my coachman
had tabby kitten given him, which,
from the time of receiving it, he accus-
toned to accompany him in the grounds
and plantations. On first hearing the
report of a gun the animal was fright
ened away, but its master continued to
take it with him, frequently giving it the
spalTows, etc, which were killed, until,
for some time past, as soon as the cat
sees him take his gun it follows closely
at his heels, standing perfectly still till
the bird falls, when it retrieves like the
most perfectly trained dog allowing its
master to take the prey from its mouth.
The latter is usually given afterward as
a reward. The cat has been actually
tried with game. 1t will follow its
master for miles, scarcely leaving him
for moment when working in the gar
den or grounds. At the same time that
the kitten came / had an Irish setter
given me as puppy, and the two AMI.
mails grew up together. At present if
the cat be frightened with strange dogs
coming into the yard it runs immediate
ly for protection to the kennel of the
setter, which will allow nothing to
touch it.-Cor. London Standard

George F. McCarty, who escaped from the

A special meeting OF the stockholders OF
the First national bank of Providence was
held recently to discuss the affairs of the

the former voting for a company. After the
meeting, Chafee seized Sprague by the throat
and would have caned him had not bystand-
ers prevented him.

is being made, is in sad state of decay, and
everything is going to rack and ruin. Apples

THE PITTsBURG Snow FLAKE.-Did
you ever see Pittsburger get fake Of
SCOT off his face' He never rubs it off.
To rub off fake Of SCOT discloses the
stranger. 1t also leaves streak Of black
half an inch wide, in place of the fake OF
SCOT as big as three-cent piece. This
is not an improvement. The Pittsburg-
er, to the manner born, blows it of.
He is an adept in the art. If the fake
nestles on his nose he protrudes his un-
der lip, gives one vigorous Whit. and the
obnoxious Pittsburg snowflake leaves
his face without a mark. If it lights on
either cheek, the mouth is puckered and
stretched around in the direction Of the
smut, with the unerring accuracy of a
garden hoe. 1t is astonishing what al
most inaccessible portions of the face and
head can be reached by a native burgher
in this way. / have seen one who could
puff black fake of the back Of his neck.
Sometimes the beauty spot will nestle
close behind the left ear, where it is ap-
parently secured from blow as a calm
centre. But the native simply gives it =
a puff clear around head, from left to
right; the current passes over the left ear
carroms on the right and comes back and
picks up the wonderer and blows him
away. They blow these sable fakes in
any position, as easily as q weekly paper
puffs the summer circus.-HaUkeye.

UNDERMINING HELL-GATE. FOUR ACRES

mining Flood Rock In He'll Gate progresses
slowly. One hundred and seventy men
are employed on the work. 1t Is thought
that the rock will be ready for the great
blast In 1888. Four acres Of the rock are
undermined. Extending across the river
there are % headings, and at right angles
to these are Is cross headings, which have
not yet reached their limit. They average
seven feet In height, ten feet In width, and
twenty feet apart. Near the main SHAFT
they are larger. The headings viii not be
enlarged until each has been carried to its
full length. Then the chambers will be
widened and heightened until the excava-
tion resembles great cave, the roof being
supported by rocky pillars drilled out Of
what now forms the sides Of the headings.
The thickness Of the roof rock will be
about 10 feet. 1t Is now from l5 to 30 feet
in thickness. The tunnelling Is tedious
work, the rock Of which the reef Is COM
posed being very hard. The best progress
that can be made Is 600 feet mouth, rep
resenting an excavation OF about 1900 Gu
bic yards. Occasionally, a seam is struck
in blasting, and, when the leakage-is bad
