A Clincher...
From the Hartford Post.

One day party of gentlemen were
together in a 1hotel some
where in Connecticut. "Young
men," said the inevitable social sta
tistician who was present, ''smoking
is an extravagant habit. Don't you
think it is wrong? Don't you think
you should give 1t up?" One of
those addressed removed his cigar
from his lips and coolly replied in be-
half of the company that he "couldn't
see it." ''Well," returned the sta
tlstical person, ''Pll give you an ex-
ample which is within my own knowl-
edge. Right here, in this very town,
lives friends of mine who used to
be a great smoker. One day he de.
termlned to abandon the habit aud
save the money which he would 9TH
erwise have spent for cigars. At the
end Of fifteen years he bought a very
nice house with the money saved in
this way. What do you think of
that?" The spokesman of the smok-
ers ought to have been crushed, but
he wasn't. ''He has the house," he
said, "but you must admit that he
hasn't had the CIGARS

simply state that it is the e-d-i-t-o-

Now, Col, what is the use Of your

the day before we left for Sedaha that
you would like to go, but had no in

"Dear Old Pa" Was There.


1t was dark in the depot one day
last week when the train came in.
An elderly farmer was backed up
against the partition, watching in
opcn-mouthed wonder the big pulling
engine and yellow covered cars as
they discharged their passengers,
when handsome young girl in a
sealskin cloak dashed forward and
throwing herself upon the honest
granger's manly breast, imprinted
kiss upon his sun-burned cheek and
exclaimed:
"You dear old pa, I knew you
would be waiting for me. And how's
mother, and how's Jennie. and how's
John?-and oh! I'm so glad to get
back-and where's my trunk-and
oh? pa, you take the check and let's
hurry"
The granger was old and kind of
dried up, and he had never known
what it was to have q wife, much less
daughter. He mlstrusted the
young lady in the seal-skin sscque
had made mistake, but instead of
stammering and hemming and haw-
ing, he came gallantIy up to the
scratch, and throwing beth arms
around the creature, he made up his
mind to be father to her or die in
the attempt. Imprinting a kiss like
the report Of pistol on her cheek,
he enthusiastically calculated:
"Oh, yer mothers we'll, an John
an Henry an (smack) an Jane an
Susan (smack, ismack) an Horace,
Belindy an Calvin (smack) an
Peter (smack, smack), oh, they're
all smart an hearty an"
BY the time the young lady's
friends could get to her she had slid
into stony faint and they had to
lug her home in hack, while the
aged granger, as he finished the
third round with her outraged young
man and sauntered out of the depot,
leaving him with bad eye and rup-
tured coat, chuckied to himself:
''The old mans gettin' old an
stiff an careless like, but when any
| young females wants to play any
games O. copenhagen, they'll find
him right to time, an l shouldn't be
s'prised if it rained fore 9 O'Clock.
G'laug, Kate!'

From the London Life.

In each of her three English homes
she is all that daughter and sister
should be; and before long, it is un-
derstood-nay, it is eoyly confessed
she is to unite her happiness with that
of an Englishnan for whom the world
has naught but praise, and VIC can
not but feel that where she loves,
Mrs. Woodhull loves entirely. For
her there can be no temperate zone,
and she is as full of affection as of
character. With the naive lmpetuosi-
ty of child she blends the deep SEN
sibilities of a woman, and when her
marriage is announced to the world
she will doubtless step at once into q
prominent place in the society OF
London.

An Opium Victim.

TIoIi TIC new 1ofk "Orlu.
A well-dressed man fifty-five years
old was found insensible at the cor
ner OF Spring street and Broadway
about 11:30 o'clock last night by
Policeman Wall, Of the Prince Street
Station. In his pockets a letter ad-
dressed "Col. Lafayette l.. Beach,
Nashville, Tenn.," and a four-ounce
bottle half full of chloroform were
found. He was taken to St. Vim
cents Hospital, where he was recog-
nized as a man who had been there
half a dozen times within two months
for treatment for opium eating. He
was in q cOmatOse condition last
night and doubts of his recovery were
entertained. Col. Beach is a native
of Nashville. He has five brothers
who are merchants in the South. For
several years he was a representative
in Tennessee of the dry goods firm
of Bates, Reed & Cooley, of this city,
and in the early part of February
came here and went to live at the
st. Nicholas Hotel. He was obliged
to leave on account of his habit of
using opium, and went to the Com
mercial Hotel, on Spring street.
Yesterday afternoon the proprietor
of that hotel requested him to go.
He was reluctant to give up his room,
but when he went out for walk in
the evening the door was locked and
on his return he could not get in.
Col. Beach then tried to get accom-
modations in the Prescott House, but
unsuccessfully. Soon afterwards he
was found in the street unconscious.
On Sunday night Mr.. Robertson, of
the Commercial Hotel, telegraphed
to Nashville to his lodger's brother,
A. b. Beach, saying that Col. Beach
was dangerously ill and needed im.
mediate attention.
