Five Cents for n Wife.

John Bombel, fidgety, short, dark
haired German, shuddered as he confronted
his wife Lena at the bar of the Jefferson
Market police court. Lena had black eye
and determination to send John to State
prison. John was silent and sad.
''He plack my eye, chuge, und uf ]

Bible.
s'Dot's not so. She's not mine wife, "
said John.

other land, leaving lovely and loving wife
to die for his cowardice and treachery. Al
length, however, TO his great joy, his cries
were answered, and some peasants ap-
peared, but none of them dared to advance.
''Well, then,' De Brimont cried, seeing
that entreaties were useless, and perceiving
that they carried guns, sire; if you Kill
me forgive you; only swear to me that
one of you will hasten to B-and tell
the commander how | died.
They all, with voice, made the required
promise, and then one of them fired but so
terrified was he, that he only succeeded in
sending three bullets through the brave
young nObleman's coat, without injuring
either him or the beast.
Another then, bolder than his comrades
seeing the intrepity of the cavalier, and
how firm a hold he kept upon the wolf,
approached somewhat Iearer, and taking
deliberate and careful aim, fred. The wolf
was mOrtally wounded by the shot, and al
most instantly killed. Never pausing to
dress his wounds, which were very severe,
De Brimont distributed sum of money
among the peasants, and offered a large
amount to the one who first brought a
horse, for his own was entirly disabled. In
an incredibly short space of time horse
was brought, and mounting it, the count
hastened on his way.
But the story is told: of course he ar
rived at the appointed time, and threw him
self, covered with blood and dust, in his
wife's arms
The account of what he had undergone
soon spread far and wide, and when with
in week thereafter, the treaty was conclu-
ded, he was escorted to the city gates by the
population of the entire city, and departed
with his lovely bride amid torrent of cheers
and blessings, to say nothing of presents so
rich and weighty that required severalmules,
well packed, to carly them away.

Vitality of Frogs.

Charley YOungworth, has half dozen
large, fat, sslemn-looking frogs in the
shOw-wIndow of his restaurant waiting the
order of some gourmand. Recently Mr..
Youngworth was expatiating on the cha
racteristics of the frogs dead and alive
''They are the most palatable dish when
cooked properly that you can set ON the
table" said he. Yet never tasted frogs

of EN- Do you know, sir, that it takes
a frog half an hour to diei Upon my

dressed frogs / had their legs cut of,
skinned and dressed up in about fifteen
minutes. | set the platter containing the
meat on the counter while the waiter was
getting some other things ready to gj with
the order. The legs of the frogs were so
full of life, or electricity or something, that
they jumped around on the platter livelier
than any shrimps you ever saw. Some Of
them hoped off on the floor. The waiter
had to tie towel over the platter when he
carried it cut, so that he would not lose
the meat. That's the reason don't like
frogs. You may smile al what | say,

vided six coats of linen covered with fine
flax of the color of hair. The mad King
put one of them on, the Count de Joigny
dOnncd another; Sir Aymard de Poiters
took the third; Sir Evan de Folk. (bastard
son of CASTOR Phoebus. Count de Folk and
de Bearn) wore the fourth; Jean de Nan
touillet the fifth and De Gensay dressed
himself in the sixth.
The coats being sewed around them, ex-
tended from crown to heel and the fax
gave them the appearance Of satyrs or saw
ages. The King was as pleased as boy
with toy.
The six maskers suddenly stepped into
the dancing room all linked together, the
King leading. None knew them. and they
amused themselves by puzzling the ladies.
The Duke of Orleans being inquisitive
as TO the garments worn by the maskers,
held torch near one of them. and the
flax ignited. There was blaze instantly,
and the greatest confusion ensued.
\ moment before this the King had
broken away. and was displaying himself
before the Queen and the Dutchess of Ber-
~. The other maskers who were still
linked together. struggled frantically to free
themselves; and some knights in helping to
disengage them, were severely bur ned.
NantOuillet ran to the battery and threw
himself into tub of water. and so saved
his life. De Poiters and De Gensay died
on the spot; De Joigny and De Folk died
two DAYS afterward.
The Duchess of Berry protected the King
from the spreading flames by throwing
over him her train and petticoats, and it
was only then that he told her who he was.
The populace murmured aloud at this
piece of rank fOolishneSs, saying that the
King ought to put aside such childish
amusements; and employ himself more Sc
riOusly; he had too long played the boy.
Charles went to the church of Notre
Dame on the next day. heard mass, made
his offerings, returned home, and began to
act as foolish as before. He lived thirty
years longer, weak. but obstinate. deranged.
but not wicked During his lucid inter
walls he had sense enough to sympathize
with the misfortunes of France. but was
incompetent to remedy them.

Beafsteak that Will Last

4 dilapidated and rather seedy-lOoking
man entered an Atlanta. Ga. restaurant n
few days since. 1t was easy to imagine
that the object of his visit to the establish
ment was for the purpose of getting some
thing to eat. He had the appearance of
having been dug up, and was covered
from head to heels with red mud, and then
again the dilapidated and well-worn suit of
clothes that partially covered his form from
the light of the sun suggested the idea. that
he might be an advance or advertising
agent of rag factory
Calling one Of the pieces of machinery of
the establishment to his side he remai ketl:
Waiter, | want YOU to get me the
toughest beefsteak that there is in the house.
Get a big one and cut it from the root of a
horn"
''YoI don't mean that, do youl" asked
the astonished waiter
''les, do. mean exactly whl' say
What want is piece of steak that, if
necessary, can be made to do good service
as door hinge OF to patch a saddle with,
if 4 man wants to use it in that way"
Boss. tell me what you want the steak
for and | will probably understand YOU bet
ter, put in the waiter, whose eyes about
that time commenced to pop out of THEN
sockets.
The walters eyes also commenced to
show signs of giving out. and his mouth
had opened until a large size ham could
have been thrown in without touching his
teeth. The stranger came to the rescue of
the man by stating that he wanted the
steak to eat
''YOu see" said he, Il am not dry
goods clerks nor a sleeping car conductor
On the contrary, am a tramp and expect
to leave for Chattanooga to-day, and what
want is piece of beef that will stand by
me un il | reach Chattanooga; or. to be
more explicit, desire it so tough that it
will stick to me like true friend.

square Bolt Heads

There are some reforms mighty in their
aggregated importance, which it appears to
be vain to contend for. 1t Is probable
there is not man who has worked on the
farm but who would unite with us in a
demand for square bolt heads in tie manu-
facture of agricultural Improvements.
Bolts naturally rust the nuts fast. When
an attempt is made to remove it, the bolt
turns in the hole instead of the nut turning
on the bolt. Ii the farmer happens to have
two wrenches, and hands to hold them.
they are of no avail, as the round head can
not be held. Sometimes the farmer is
from five to ten miles from blacksmith
shop, in a hurry and no time to spare. In
such cases hard words fall from the lips Of
good men There is seldom plow Of any
kind during its usefulness but ten times as
much time is lest by round headed bolts as
would be necessary to make the right kind
of one.

He throws his slant ng rays
Across their loving faces, turned
To meet his parting gaze.
And now he's gone The darkness

A long low dirge of sad farewell

In mournful cadence chanting
The requiem of the sun.

Chinese Sampaners.

The boats called sampans are each the
habltation in China, of at least one family
of fresh-water sailors. Sometimes they
contain the representatives of several gen
erations, from the great grandfather and
grandmother to the newborn babe. All
have TO pass their whole lives on board
together, cooped up in that narrow space
which more frequently than not they are
Obliged to share with passengers. Their
life is hard one, constantly exposed to sun
and rain, often up TO their waists in water,
when they have to push their sampan of a
sand-bank where 1t has grounded. De-
scendants of a peculiar race, they have
always been kept at arm's-length by the
Chinese. They can neither possess, nor
even dwell on land; they have the run Of
the water. and that is all.

DisgracefuI Outrage.

A criminal and dastardIy act has
been twice committed here within
the last week, in both instances en-
failing serious danger on ladies with
their families. Some malignant
coward has cut the harness of car
riages while waiting at church doors
during evening service. The in
jured parties are Mrs. HUMPHREYS
at the Christian church on Tuesday
night, and Mrs. l.. Smith at the
Methodist church on Sunday night.
The injury to property makes not
half the criminality of this deed. 1t
creates an imminent danger to life
and limb in case of the horses starting
before the accident is discovered.
The strictest vigilance is demanded
against the repetition of such a
crime, and exemplary punishment
should it be detected.

improvements.

The course of city improvement
has already commenced for the
year and promises great activity.
First in order comes the new
courthouse. The operations here
can scarcely be looked upon as sus-
pended during the winter, the ex-
ceptional mildness of the season
having enabled the contractors to
continue work throughout the win
ter with a very few days cessation.
The outer walls are now nearly
completed, those of the north wall
entirely so, and in that part the
framework Of the roof is already
constructed. This, together with
the consoles for the support of the
cOrnice, enables the eye to realize
the noble proportions Of the build
ing which already present a breadth
of effect which, when the details
are completed, cannot fail to give
us a building second to none in the
state in architectural effect.
Gauchat, jeweler, is having new
front put to his store, together with
alterations in the interior, which
will very greatly add to the facili-
ties for the display of goods. 1t will
also give DIR. AGREE a more conven-
lent and slightly approach to his
elegant dental rooms on the second
floor.
KineannOn, Wood & Co. had
already the most spacious store
room in town, but it seems not to
be big enough for their business, as
they are knocking down their back
wall and carrying the store thirty
feet further back. The dimensions
of the addition are thirty feet square
and three stories high, and the
whole extent Of the main store
room will be 100 feet by so feet,
with rooms above and basement
beneath throughout the whole
length of the building.
McComb, Hurst & Co. will soon
follow with their splendid new
three-story house near our Office.
MIR. James II. Smith is giving
quite a new character to his resi-
dence on Madison (the old Harrison
house, by the addition of an orna-
mental portico in front, which will
render his place one of the leading
architectural features of that aristO-
critic neighbOrhoOd.

THE series Of meetings conducted
by Rev. ]. d. Barbee at the Metho-
dist church for two weeks, closed on
Wednesday night. While the meet
ings did not result, as it was hoped
they would, in the conversion of a
large number of sinners, yet the
powerful Preaching of the pastor
was very eficacious in reviving the.
membership, and the church seems
filled with the spirit of the Master.
Much good has resulted from these
meetings. The pastor and the peo-
pie have grown closer together, and
stand more united and prepared for
an assault on the strongholds of sin
than at any time since Mr.. Barbee
came among us. He has gained
their confidence, won their hearts,
and by his preaching strengthened
their faith.
