s0rYesterday they were conversing
about Spiritualists, and he said that a
great many people put old horse-shoes
in front OF their doors to keep out evil
spirits. "Do you believe there is any
thing in that I" she asked quietly
al dare say there is" he responded.
"Well, then, John, IL you believe an
old horseshoe will keep bad spirits out,
you get one and hang it to your nose
the next time you go to a ward meeting,
and perhaps it will keep bad spirits out
Of your mouth" He merely said, after
a pause, that il there was anything in
the world he hated, it was religious
discussion.

THE VALUE OF MoNEy.-Ask Of each
ringing dollar in this world its history
how it came into life. Some Of them
will tell you they represent the tears of
a widow, the bartcrcd honor Of man,
the jobbery of a "ring," and the thous-
ands of other stories which you would
be told We need not relate. Benjamin
Franklin said the road to wealth was rs
plain as the road to market. Yes, il is
the good, old-fashioncd road of honest
toll. We sometimes say that the days
Of miracles are past. There is one mir
acle still in existence-the miraculous
result Of hard labor that is accomplish
ed by the dripping sweat of the brow.
The value Of money is not what it buys
but what il costs. Some mems money
costs them too much others too little.
A man who makes his at the expense Of
his health and his honor pays too much.
He who gets his money by lucky hits
pays too little. II he pays too little he
cheats mankind. The golden mean be-
tween these two extremes was well ex-
pressed in that beautiful and true prayer
Of Agar, who said: "Give me neither
poverty nor riches" IL man would
bring Arcadia, let him abolish poverty
and wealth. But Arcadia will never
come.

LOVING A WHOLE FAMILY.

81 don't want TO make any trouble
but there is one man in this city who
ought to be gibbetted!" began blunt
spoken woman of IS, as she stood be-
fore the officials OF the Twentieth-strcer
Station day or two ago.
When they inquired for particular,
she handed out letter and said:
"Obscryc the envelope. The letter
is addressed TO me. You will see that
the writer calls me his jcssamine, and
wants me to set an early day for the
wedding"
When the captain had finished the
letter she was ready with another, say
ing:
And this is directed TO my daughter
Lucretia. You will see that he calls
her his rosy angel, and he says he can,
live il she doesn't marry him. It's the
same man,"
So il was, and his letter was as tender
As spring chicken. That finished, she
handed third, with the remark:
This is directed 10 my daughter
Helen. It's the very same man, and in
it he calls her his pansy, and he says he
dreams Of her."
"Why he seemed to love the whole
family" remarked the captain.
That's jus, it. I'm 4 widow with
two daughters, and he was counting US
all ut once, and engaged to the three OF
us At the same time. Oh what wretch
cs there are in this world -
Eyes, indeed. It's lucky you found
him out"
"Yes, il is. II | hadn't he might
have married the whole caboodle of us.
II Lucrctia hadn't opened one Of my
letters, and If hadn't searched the
girls pockets while they were asleep,
we'd have thought him an innocent
lamb"
"And do you want him arrested"
"No, guess not, but ! want this
matter to so into the papers as warn
ing to other women. Just think Of his
sitting up with me Sunday night, Lucre.

ITEMS FOR A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

Some supposed friends Of a newspaper
have peculiar ideas as TO what kind of
items paper really requires. Not long
since gentleman came into the Calves
ton Macs sanctum and said: Look
here you miss heap Of live items
I'm on the streets all day I'll come
once in while and post YOU"
"All right, fetch on your items; but
remember We want news "
Next day he came up, beaming all
over. "l'vc got live item for you.-
You know that Internal ow-legged go-
rilla of brother in-law of mine, who
was in business here with me ?"
al believe remember such n person,
said the editor, YEARLY.
"Well, I've just got news from Ne
braska, where he is living, that he is go
ing to run for the Legislature. Now,
just give him blast. Lift him out OF
his boots. Don't spare him on my ac-
count"
Next day he came up again. my
little item was crowded out. brought
YOU some news" and he hands an item
about his cat, as follows:
"a Remarkable Animal. family
cat of our worthy and distinguished fell
low-townsman Smith, who keeps the
boss grocery of Ward No. - (beer al
ways on tap), yesterday became the
mother o: five singularly marked kittens.
This is not the first time this unheard of
event has taken place. We understand
Mr.. Smith is being favorably spoken of
rs candidate for Alderman.
The editor groans in his spirit rs he
lights cigar with the effort. 1t is not
long before he hears Smith is going
around saying that he made the paper
what it is, but it is not independent
enough for n place like Galveston.

The !" Dandy Crab"

Society and occupation in the world
Of sea are represented by masons, build
ers, marauders, usurpers and plunderers,
and all have their distinguishing pecu-
liarities. A fancy Of the quaint spider
crab, or "dandy crab," as he is some
times called, is to decorate himself with
alge and sponges, and none but the most
brilliant in color seem to please him;
this, however, not for vain display, but.
primarily at least, for personal protec-
ton. When wishing to array himself he
finds a brilliant sponge and piches of
piece after piece with his long slender
claws, these, when broken, are dipped in
q glutinous fluid contained in the mouth.
and are carried to the back and fastened
securely. Sometimes after he has at-
tached . particular fragment he reaches
back his claw q second time TO satisfy
himself that it is secure. This practice
Is indulged in only when the crabs are
young and in the full, and its object is to
obscure the crab from hungry surgeons
and skates. When placedin . tank with
many animals the crabs take the same
p~recaution against possible enemies, and
often cover themselves.

Drunken Wolves.
from All the Year Round.l

Henri De Criquelle, in a French work
upon the natural history Of LIE Morvan,
"a district Of France), tells us that Gin
the summer the wolves, like the gypsies,
have no fixed residence. They may then
be met with in the standing barley or
oats, the vineyards and fields; they sleep
in the open country, and seldom seek the
friendly shelter Of the forest, except
during the scorching hours of the day.
Toward the end Of August / have often
met them" he says, Sin the vineyards.
apparently half drunk, scarcely able to
walk-in short, quite unsteady in their
legs, almost blowing the ground up with
their noses, and staring stupidity about
them. | once came upon one partly
hidden amid the thick underground and
weeds on the edge Of the piles
Of stones collected from among the
vines. My presence aroused his growl,
rising lazily from the bushes, hestumbled
and fell, being evidently incapable Of
getting further. A salute from both
barrels with small shot scarcely tickled
his akin, but it brought him once more
on his legs, though only to fall again,
when, having reloaded, / advanced upon
him, and administered . double dose in
his ear. which had the desired effect.
The fact was he Was quite drunk, though
not disorderly." This inclinstiOn in the
wolves for incorporate indulgence is the
juice Of the grape il vouchsd for by
several authorities. II would appear
that the wolves, during the ardent heats
Of August, suffer greatly from thirst. and
In the absence Of water, take to the vine

by eating large quantities Of grapes

New York Press Views To-day.

The Tribune admonIshes the Worlds Fair
committee that If it is prooding over some new
scheme to get foothold in any corner OF the
Park, it will be time and effort squandered; that
there is little time TO spare that the legislative
subcommittee are entertaining proposition
to ask for change OF the law which will allow
them to postpone the fair until 1885. and that
at the present rate OF progress the fair will
hardly get under full headway before the
year Of grace two thousand and one.
The Herald warmly praises Secretary SchurZ'S
report as very encouraging as Well as deeply
interesting document doing him great honor,
The Herald keeps up the war upon John Kelly,
and upon the project OF taking the Worlds
Fair to Central Park. The World has Cincin-
natl dispatch reporting Mr.. Richard Smith, OF
the Gazette, as saying that Gen. GARFIELD with
whom he Travelled west from Washington Is In
any thing but good health and Will need careful
nursing and long rest TO bring him up to his
normal condition: BE cannot eat much nor
lief In some way his health may be serf-
oUsly impaired. He says Garfield's Cabinet
will be made up OF the very best material.
Sherman, he thinks, will be made Senator.
The sun felicltates New York upon the fact
that the census shows that the males have been
increasing faster than females In that city since
1870. Then there were LOCI females TO every
1000 males. Now the proportion Is l.04s fe-
males to LOCO males. This, the SIN says, is
gain which has many and very obvious advan-
tageS. The Times thinks that ION the whole
our financial condition, as it will be reported to
Congress on Monday next, will be encouraging,
and IL Congress Is reasonably prudent iC viii
probably continue so for some time"
