A Watch in His Hat.

We have seen great deal written and
heard considerable said about the Man
in the Iron Mask" and the man with
"brick" in his hat, but while riding on
Western railroad short time since we
actually beheld man with watch in
his hat-aye, in his hat-but not on the
inside of his hat-a plain silver watch
set in his hat front, about midway be-
tween the rirn and the crown, face ont
ward, SO that any one passing in front
of him could tell the time of day. He
was middle-aged man, with long hair
by the way, how is it that almost all
eccentric individuals wear long hair
even Samson did until Delilah found
pair of shears--and paid no apparent
attention to the numerous queer looks
cast at him. 1t getting noised about the
train numerous persons from other cars
would pass through the coach he was in
to see the man with the watch in his
hat. At last one young gent with more
assurance than discretion ventured to
ask the peculiar party the reason why
he carried his watch in that prominent
position. The old sport looked his
questioner luizzicalIy 10 the face ana
told him it was an alarm watch, and
every time it struck il hit his head, and
reminded him that it was time TO take
his medicine, and remarking, 1t has
just struck" pulled out bottle of "old
rye" and took good swig," and the
young man retreated amid the quiet
smiles of the adjacent passengers.

being sic, ked with skins of the little
animals hunted by soldiers or exiles
sent for the purpose into the wastes of
Siberia These furs were used by
those who could afford them, but there
was no resort to the cheaper skins of
animals nearer home. The rule of
fashion became very imperious, and, as
one fur after another came into repute,
the entire species of the unfortunate
original wearer seemed threatened with
extinction. Happily, fashion was as in
constant as it was paramount, other
wise the race of seals might have dis
appeared, and the grebe would speedily
have become an unknown bird. This
year and last the taste has been for
cheap and serviceable rather than costly
and epheneral furs. Many of the
tippets at present in use are made of
skins that were hitherto disregarded, and
it is plain that we have here opened up
a department of commerce where pro-
duction is as yet unchecked, and i'm
portation from distant countries unnec-
essary. The gain has been direct and
without any drawback. A new trade
has been created, and the public get all
the benefit of warm wraps and mex
pensive comfort.-BOstO7a Globe.

He Failed.

When Quincy lady came to the
front door in answer to the bell, she
found there well-preserved specimen
of the genus tramp. Removing his tat
tered hat, he essayed polite bow, and
said:

lady. "That dodge died from over.

riotism are so soon smothered in the
breasts of our loyal women?"
"How old are you, sir?"
Twenty years ago tomorrow, Mad
am, my first infant wall was borne upon

The lady smiled, and replied:

A Sons Testimony.

DIR. Fraser, the able Bishop of Man
chester, England, testified, in recent
address, that he owed all that he was
and had been able TO do to the self.
sacrificing devotion.of his mother.
His father, man of some fortune
lost everything in iron-mining, leaving
a family of seven, the Bishop at that
time being IA years old.
His mother was q woman of sound
sense and great unselishness. She
said:
81 cannot give these lads of mine q
large fortune; but, by denying myself a
bit, and living quietly, can give them
all good education"
She did SO, but he did not under
stand how she managed it. BY Gods
providence, he had that mother still
spared to him. She was now paralyzed,
speechless and helpless, but every day
when he went into her room and looked
on her sweet face he thought gratefully
of all Re owed tc her, of what he was,
and what he had been enabled to do.

Fur Growing More Costly.

The accounts from the fur markets
are decidedly depressing; the better
class of skins will be rare this year,
and in consequence, will fetch high
prices. The prices are kept up by the
double agency of diminished supply
and an increased demand. And yet
fur, which has not for long time been
so dear as now, has not for years been
so freely worn. The cause is not far to
seek. More than 500 years ago Edward
III. enacted that persons who could
not spend G100 year should not be
allowed to wear fur; but at that time
fur was fnery, and the wearing of it a
luxury. The law was in effect sumptu-
airy, and was passed to restrict extrava-
gance in dress. In later times the fash
ion has been based less on luxury than
on comfort, and return to what is
called an Arctic winter brought with it
necessity of wearing cheap skins of
home manufacture.
The fashion was withstood in this
country for years. We got chinchilla
from South America, and sable from
Northern Asia, the Russian markets

He Wanted Only Five Minutes.

Judge Burford, now Mayor of Dial.
las, Texas, and true type of the West
ern gentleman, relates an account Of his
first visit to the at-that-time semi-bar-
barous mining regions of California.
He had just been admitted to the bar at
his home, small Eastern village, and
his desire for fame and fortune led him
Westward, arriving at the camp of his
future home on the back of broncho
IAN animal well known for his elevating
Qualities) about sunset. AS he APP
preached the camp he saw a group of
men in excited conversation, aud, going
nearer, saw in the center a man and a
rope. He knew at once what these
meant, and, congratulating himself on
so excellent an opportunity to make an
impression which would give him q
boost in his profession Immediately, he
rode up to the crowd and asked what
the man had done, and was informed
that he had been caught an hour before
with two horses not his own, and they
were debating as to whether they would
, shoot or hang him.
But, gentlemen" said the Judge
"these summary proceedings are not
right. Surely you would not outrage
the majesty of both human and divine
law by taking the life of this man in
your own hands? No, gentlemen,
feel assured you will let better counse
prevail. Give the man the benefit of 6
trial in court of law by jury of his
peers, and if by them he is condemned
to punishment, your souls will be free
from the stain of his blood. If he has
no attorney, beg to offer my services
That you may see, gentlemen, that am
qualified, in due form of law, / will
show you my dip"

the leader, this heer klaim is registered

cher bottom dollar it's goin' & pan out
'cordin' t. previ's calc'laiion. Stranger,
you kin hev one hour t. prospect FIR tn

The Judge, to use his own express
sion, "tumbled" to the situation, and,
adjusting himself in the saddle, lie
grasped the bride reins, preparatory to
moving, and remarked:
Gentlemen, for your courtesy /
thank you. You have given me an hour
to get out of town, but, if the girth
holds and this mule don't buck, all
want is five minutes" Saying which,
the Judge clapped the enormous rowels
into the sides of the beast and adjourned
sine die.
