Hotel Mysteries.

''Why is it, asked the man with the SAM
pie case, that at the average hotel the short
est man is always set down at the end of the
| table, where there is nothing, and where he
can reach nothing else2"
''And why" asked the sad passenger, sis
the waiter always 1uttering over some delib-
crate, fussy old gourmand, who is going to
stop over three days anyhow, when you have
only fifteen minutes and then have to run for
the train ?"
"And why," asked the tall, thin passenger,
sis the black pepper cruet always in the cas-
tor on the next table?"
'sAnd why is it empty when you get it ?"
asked the cross passenger.
'And why" asked the fat passenger, ''do
the two young married people who sit oppo-
site you always stop eating and gaze at you
with such pitiful Representatives, every time
you look at them?"
Sand why" asked the brakeman, coming
in to light the lamps, doesn't the hash shaver
''And why" suddenly said the woman who
talks bass, ''don't men ever talk sense?"
The peaceful silence came drifting into the

was full of it. And these questions are un-
answered unto this day, especially the last

How Peter the Great Cut off Heads.

Some of the recent executions in Russia
recall very striking incident Of the reign of
Peter the Great. The Nihilisn of that period
was represented 5v the revolt of the Strelitz
(Archer) Gaurd, which Peter quelled and pun
ished with merciless severity, beheaGing a
man for every turret on the Kremlin wall,
which overlooked the place of execution. The
headsman being fatigued with the butchery,
Peter himself took his place and struck off
twelve with his own hand. The thirteenth
was handsome young soldier nicknamed
Orel Eagle), who, pushing aside his pre-
decessor's headless corpse, cried with laugh,
"Come brother, it's my turn for an audience
with the Gar now!" Peter, struck with this
reckless gallantry, pardoned and promoted
him. Some French writers have endeayored
to throw clothing of romance over the Incl
dent by making its hero the Cars unac-
knowledged son, but the respective ages of
the two men rendered this all but impossible.

Senator Wade as n Husband.

Mr.sWade was always particular about
money matters. He could not bear to owe
any man cent, and the feeling that he was
pecuniarily under the slightest obligation to
any one annoyed him excessively. His wife
had small income, but old Ben would never
touch penny of it. His peculiarly about
money matters sometimes actually distressed
Mrs. Wade and his friends. His pocketbook
was always open to his wife, but she probably
during their long married life never was able
to induce her husband to accept out of her
money the price of meal. He used to say ::
"A man does not marry woman to live off
her" and again, every man should keep
his own wife" believe Mr.. Wade positive
ly thought it degrading for a man to use
woman's money, and so it is. Once he said
to his son: ''What your wife has is her own,
and what you have is your wife's." This was
Wade's chivalrous idea of the treatment of a
wife, and right royalty did he practice it in
his own household. His courtesy to Mrs.
Wade was always so marked as to attract the
attention even of strangers. At 70 years of
age he was the same fond and devoted lover
she had found in him at 40. No two people
could possibly have lived more agreeably to-
gether. Everything Mrs. Wade did or said
was exactly right in the estimation of her hus-
band. and during the entire course of his long
married life he probably never had disloyal
thought or occssioned his wife moments

Where Sarah Was.

A Wayne county farmer had some wheat
stolen few nights since, and he was so sure
that he knew who the thief was that he came
into Detroit and secured a warrant for Ger
tain young man living near him. When the
case came up for trial before Justice Alley the
defendant said he could prove an alibi. In
order to do this he had brought in ''his girl"
buxom lass of twenty-five. She took the
stand and swOre that he sat up with her from
seven o'clock in the evening until broad day.

''What time did the old folks 60 to bed ?"

"Yes, SIR"
"Why are you sure?"
She blushed, looked over to her lover and
laughed, and getting nod to 60 shesd, she
said:
s'Well, sir, just as the clock struck twelve,
the old man jumped out of bed, up stairs,

THE LATEST MAN.KILLER.

All the most terrible and deadly weapons
OF war have been thrown completely in the
shade by the new Gatling gun which was ex-
hibited on the 9th of March at the offices of
Sir W. Armstrong, the manufacturer, in St.
Georges Westminster, before a number of
experts. This fearful weapon is capable of
firing thousand shots per minute and kill
ing man or horse at mile range. 1t has q
compact appearance, can be taken to pieces,
and easily carried about, can be applied to
military and naval use, and the mechanism of
it is simplicity itself; the revolving band has
two compartments, into which. as they whirl
around, metal cartridges drop from tall, OBJ
long case fixed over the center of the barrel
At each turn of the handle ten shots are fired,
and their dispersion is accomplished by a
sliding apparatus. The size shot in different
calibre guns of this class ranges from musket
balls to half-pounders. By the use of this
implement three men can do the work of
three hundred single men. A quarter of
million of dollars is said to have been spent
on experiments necessary to perfect the gun,
which is now declared by every military ex-
pert to be complete success.

How 'sBOOzing Swine'' Lost HIS Bride.

A young couple recently presented them
selves at the principal church in suburb of
Odessa and requested the priest to marry
them. When they reached the altar rails,
and were there awaiting the fultillment of
their dearest hopes, the priest, detecting a
certain unsteadiness of gait in the bridegroom,
which appeared incompatible with the
solmenity of the occasion, declined to per-
form his sacerdotal Office upon person
whom he described as ''boozing swine. F"
Indignant at the untimely inebriety, the
father dragged him out of the church, and
belabored him soundly with a stout cudgel in
the vain hope of restoring him to such self
possession as might qualify him to undergo
the marriage ceremony with ordinary stead
fastness. The brides father took more
practical view of the situation. Addressing
the congregation from the altar steps, he de-
clared his daughter freed from her matrit
monial engagement, and further stated tha-
any eligible candidate for her hand, present.
ing himself then and there, might wed her
on the spot, without incurring any expense,
and count upon fond parents tender bless
ing to boot. Two aspirants came forward.
After inspection by the bride and brief inter
rogation as to their respective worldly means
and position, one was politely dismissed and
the other took the ''boozing swine's" place at
the altar, where few minutes later, he was
made happy husband.

FIFTY years ago Commodore Patterson,
commander of the naval forces of the United
States in Louisiana, led an expedition against
Jean Lafitte. the chief of Barataria Island,
attacked the 500 men found there and cap
tured the seven small vessels which were
drawn up in miniature battle array. It has
been thought in New Orleans that Lafitte
was freebooter and pirate. and many SEN
sational stories of his adventures have been
published. The Picayune las discovered
among the dusty records of the United States
District Court an account of the libel pro-
ceedings brought by Daniel T. Patterson and
George T. Ross, the commanders OF the
naval and military forces of the United States,
containing evidence that LATTE made his
captures under the Carthsgenisn flag, and
was in communication with Carthagens.

The Latest Cat story.

A prominet resident of Longwood, Mass,
adds another to the list of cat stories. He
had occasion recently, to drown four kittens
four or five days old. After they had been
in the water for some time he buried them
in the center of heap of refuse, covering
them up, and thought nothing more OF the
matter. Two days later he missed the cat,
and when he walked into the barn his ears
were saluted with a faint meaw proceeding
from q barrel. Investigation. showed the
hack and restored them to consciousness.
For days after that the man could not visit
his barn without being followed by the cat.

seemed determined to keep posted 'ss to

is perhaps needless to add that after pussy's
efforts he did not have the heart to attempt
their destruction again.

THE MILLER'S SONG.

@, why in books need men seek lore
Or Geye in antiquarian store,
When, here presented plain, you'll find
Rich lessons 10 inform the mind
s. the wheel turneth round, with cheerful sound,
The fountain of wisdom the millet hath found
III first you raise the floodgate slow,
Full soon the mill begins to go:
With shrek and moan the labring wheel,
The power OF life its buckets feel;
Thus, the infants wall, on the passing gale
When first OF Life's voyage he setteth sail
And now, with loud and crashing sound
The cogs and drums all fly around,
"A though the spirit of Unrest
Each fiber of the mill possessed;
tt youths rash career, that is pictured here:
As blndy his bargue he doth recklessy steer.
Now, in the hopper cast the grain,
The nillstones whirling OH amain
II ~ but manhood's cup of ILL.,
Thus to be crushd in Lfe's hard mill!
While, swift, with crash, the water wheels dash,
Like hard goaded soul meath Necessity's lash.
The mixed corn to powder ground,
Is by the careful miller found;
There good and bad together lle
Type of our common DESTINY
" hen the greedy grave its own shall crave,
and the honestest man be abased with the knave.
Yet, still behold the miners power
To slit the rich, nutritious flour
From oul the dark and useless mass,
A., jarrtngly, the bolt cloths pass
thus, by trials refined, the regenerate mind
Shall ascend, and rejoice with assimiate kind.
The miller, thus gayly, his song did essay,
As on passed the wheels, in their swift roundelay,
Win an air loud and heartsome and seeming too glad
For words with moral 90 truthful and sad
Yea, fear me, ere this, the good miller himself,
Like his own powdered hath been laid on the shelf
And, perchance, the old building has since tumbled
oer;-
Nor swings from its hinges the low double door,
lie nmbers, long since may have gone to decay
Not yet, in the race, do the clear waters play:
No cool, limpd lakelet may grace the sweet vale
Nor the flowers the slope ade with oders the gale;
But, fast in my memory, those images seem,
Like light hearted maden's mysterious dream,
AZ, in retrospect pensive, / view from the hill,
As il was in my boyhood, that moss covered mill.

A perplexing answer was given by wit
ness in q case recently tried in Savannah,
Ca, who, in answer to inquiries, testified that
he was present at a shooting which occurred
in front of hotel, but was neither in the

In fact he was sitting on four-legged stool.

A new military projectile has been invent
ed by M. Lamarre, of Paris, and experiments
are now being made with it at Grenoble
The invention consists of fire-balls to be pro-
jected by the guns of a fort. which while
exploding would throw light on the enemy's
position at night. The object is to prevent
intrenching or the raising of earthworks, and
each projectile is provided with grenade.

to keep the enemy off and hinder him from
