What Allied Jones.

Brown and Jones used to be friends
real good friends-but there is a cbasm
between them now. Jones didn't know
OF it until Brown had passed hiH. several
times without saluting, and than he de-
termined to know what yyIs wrong.
Hating him on the street, he began
"See here, Brown, what's come over
you all Of sudden %
Sir, replied Brown, with freezing
dignity, as he drew himself up an extra
inch.
"What have T said or done to break
our friendship @ continued Jones.
Mr.. Jones, you are not the sort OF
man supposed you to be-" answered
Brown.
In what respect ?"
"Sir, you were a delegate to our coun-
ty convention %
yes, I was.
"For the past seven years you have
protested to be my friend, political and
otherwise o.
$50 I have-so / have"
DO you remember, sir, of our hay
ing q talk about week before the con-
vention? Do you remember that said
that isl hinted-that is"
ooh, yes, you said that perhaps you
could be induced to accept the nominal
ton of County Treasurer.

hands of my friends
/" I remember it now
And I didn't get q vote, sir--not
even a complimentary vote y
emo, guess you didn't, and now you
blame me for it. Alas Brown, how lit
tie you know about our local politics.
Why, sir, every man who attended a
ward caucus over three times knows that
when o candidate puts himself i'll the
hands of his friends they at once pro-
coed to hold funeral and bury the re-
mains ten feet deep"
Jones made o. motion as if to shake
hands and forgive all, but suddenly
changed his mind and walked on, care
fully placing each heel with thud, and
keeping his spinal column as stiff as a
poker. -F1ce Press.

Dangers of the Sea.

The difference between handling a
snip so that she escapes o danger and
IN way to plunge Ter headlong upon
1t was doubly illustrated Oh voyage by
the Algeria, from Liverpool to New
York. On her sixth day out the Algeria
found herself in heavy fog on the
Banks OF Newfoundland. The ship was
feeling her way cautiously along, all
eyes and ears, so to say, when from
over the port bow there sounded fog
bell. It seemed some distance off. But
the Captain, swift as light ordered
reversal of the engines. The screw
Hew round, the great ship paused, slow
~ backed, and none too soon. In a
trlce there loomed up through the fog
huge three-masted schooner, rushing
forward under full sail. Had the course
OF the Algeria been kept, had she failed
to retreat at the moment she did, col
Islon would have been inevitable. The
schooner flew on her way straight across
the foaming wake of the steamship, and
q terrible calamity that might have cost
hundreds OF lives was happily averted.
Very nearly the same thing happened
again on the same evening, the danger
GUS craft that approached the Algeria
IN this instance being another large
steamer. This time the stranger was
not seen through the dense mist, but
the voices of persons on her decks were
heard with startling distinctness, and
the escape was apparently as narrow as
IN the case of the schooner. Eternal
vigilance is as clearly the price of safety
at sea as it is of liberty everywhere.

Why He Was in the Penitentiary.

An important case was tried before
the Criminal Court of the District of
Columbia. An old colored man was on
the witness stand. The District Attor-
ney interrogated the witness
What is your name?"
"John Williams, sah." g..
Are you the John Williams who was
sent to the Albany State penitentiary for
1arceny?"
"No, sah-not this john
care you the John Williams who was
convicted of arson, and sent to the Balti-
more penitentiary
"No, sah."
Tired Of asking fruitless questions,
the District Attorney suddenly put a
leading one.
"Have you ever been in the peniten-
tiary?' !
Eyes, sah."
All eyes were now turned upon the
witness. The District Attorney smiled
conplacently, and resumed:
GLOW many times have you been in
the penitentiary
"Twice, sah.''
"Where ?"
''In Baltimore, sah.'
Glow long were you there the first
time @
''About two hours, sah.''
Chow long the second time?" asked
the attorney, rather crestfallen.

The attorney sat down amid the
laughter of the spectators.

Annie lick.

Apple jack was first discovered, it is
said, in New Jersey, and Sussex coun-
ty was the great distilling place Of that
beverage. But Orange county, N. Y,
long ago took the palm away from Sus-
sex in the matter Of making apple jack,
and now turns out more Of the liquor
than any county in the United States.
The bulk Of the apple whisky made in
Orange county is required to supply the
local demand. The farmer takes his pay
for his apples at the still in the tempered
juice of the fruit. He stores his cellar
with apple jack with the same care that
he slows away potatoes and cabbage for
family use. The Orange county farmer,
who has not a ''vial" of the native tip
pie to produce when visitors call is con-
sidered as lacking in hospitality. Stored
away in the cellars of the rural districts
are casks Of apple jack from which age
has removed the Damascene edge, and
given to it the golden glow and oleagin-
Gus body that mark it as the perfect tip
pie to the taste OF the iron-clad tillers of
the countrys soil.
Now and then apple whisky Of this
character will be offered for sale through
the closing UP Of some estate. Public
sales, including the cellars of we'll
known connoisseurs in the product OF
the county's stills, will draw more repre-
resentative people as prospective buyers
than the sale OF any other property that
may be advertised, excepting, perhaps,
stable of Hambletonian colts. Whis-
ky Of the class named commands from
81 to $40 q gallon under the hammer.
This is not the kind the bartender will
set out to you at any Of the hostelries Of
the county. If man asks FOR whisky
at an Orange county bar, the bartender
sets out apple jack. They drink little
else in the community. York SIN.

Anywhere to Get Away.

MI. Greeley had been invited to de-
liver a lecture at a village few miles
from Chicago. He appointed the time
Tor Saturday evening, but was dismayed
at finding when there. that there was no
train to take him back to Chicago before
Monday. His first question Of the gen
tleman who was awaiting him was if
there was 10 way in which he could get
out of town the next day
"Not by public conveyance, he was
told.
emo boats ?" ..
"Not a. this season of the year." (De-
cember.)
A sharp cross-questioning elected the
information That an occasional propeller
stopped at one Of the piers during the
winter months, but there was no GER
tainty of such an event occurring. Sun
day morning Nh. Greeley was down at
the shore, looking as longingly as ship
wrecked sailor for sail. No boat ap-
pearing his host prevailed upon him to
go to church with him. ''We had in
our little church, % says the writer, "that
day a clergyman to whom even Mr..
Greeley might have listened with profit
If not with pleasure. Listening, how
ever, was not Mr.. Greeley's intention.
Settling himself in q corner of the pew
he went to sleep, and slept on until near
the close Of the sermon. Suddenly the
whistle of a propeller sounded through
the air. The great editor started, pricked
up his ears, then jumped up without q
glance even at his host, walked down
the aisle and out Of the church, and was
seen no more by the inhabitants. After
ward it was learned that the propeller
was on its way to Milwaukee, not Chi
cago. But anywhere to get away said

TWILIGHT.

Drift little snowflakes mid the shells,
Break little waves among the pebbles,
Rise little notes in dulcet swells,
And faint again in silver trebles.
The hot sun stoops, and dips and dips
His burning brow to drowsy numbers,
Then kisses red the oceans lips,
And sinks away to golden slulnbers.
Come, twilight, with thy purple breath,
And freshen all the dropping willows;
The water-1iIies faint to death,
The bending reeds, the fevered pillows!
And beckon forth the timid stars,
To tread the cool ew-drooping heaven,
And quickly let the burning bars
That bind the impatient sea be riven.
And bring thy breeze, with soothing wing,
Around my heated brows to futter,
And teach the waves more sad to sing
More yearning mysteries to utter.
Come, gliding softly from the east,
Come, breathing over distant cities,
And crown the hills with holy rest,
And fill the winds with plalntiye ditties.

EX-Gov. Hendricks has written to a
Washington Democratic politician, in
which he says:
81 want you to feel assured that l
have no grievance growing out of the
Cincinnati Convention. The New York
delegation assured the delegations from
other States that could not carry that
State, and that prevented my support
from them. A State that doubted my
ability to carry New York did well not
to support me. l want you to be assur-
ed, too, that will most chcerfully and
earnestly do my part to secure success,
as will all my friends in this State. The
ticket takes very well, and will make
some gains from the Republican ranks.
We have no special return of hard times,

A Fortune for a Wink,

A writer in Golden Days tells a
''true story" of how gentleman re.
fused ono hundred and fifty thou.
sand dollars for winking his eye,
and thereby preserved his honor.
The gentleman, who is called Mr..
X, occupied confidential position
in great railway corporation.
1t was rumored that the company
was about to assume charge of a
lauguishing railroad. II 40, the
stock of the latter would raise in
p rice.
Now, one bold Spectator was an
Intimate friend of Mr.. x. After
long reflection be came to the CON
ciusion that the best thing he could
DO was to call on Mr.. X, ask in con-
idence for some definite informa
ton on the subject, and offer to
share with Mr.. X. the profits of
any venture that he might make
on "points" given by him. This he
did.
"Mr. X.,' said be, 'if knew that
the transaction which is tumored is
to take place in a few days wers
really to occur, could, by buying
up tho stock of the company thai

you and myself rich men. Can you

Review of British Crops and Mar
kets

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The mark |
Lane Express, in its review of the
British grain trade for the past
week, says harvesting is now gen.
eral. The fine weather has been of
the utmost value. Wheat is greatly
damaged by mildew, most of the
samples being below the expeeta-
tions. Barley, which will be the
harvest crop of the season, has like
wise deteriorated in color and quali-
ty by the wet weather of July, al
good barley having bsen more or
less laid. Reports about oats are
more favorable. The root crops
have improved. A large part of
the hop crop was got in during the
past week and will be abundant,
the only portion of the crop of 1880
which has been made 10 good con.
dition.
The continuance Of ics weather
is one thing to enable the farmers
to make the most of what must be
a deficient harvest, at any rate for
wheat. The probable early deliver.
les of new England wheat and
heavy shipments from America
have restricted trade at Mark Lane
and the provincial markets during
the week. Some indications of
future value may be shown this
week, bat it will be some days be-
fers the arrivals of the new crop
will be sufficient 10 furnish reliable
grounds upon which to form an
opinion. Taking everything into
consideration, there is little hope
for the farmers of high prices the
coming season, as the harves. pros
posts in Northern Europe are far
more promising than last year,
while America has probably ell of
the previous yields.
Business has been confined to the
supply of tho wants Of millers.
