My Face.

There is young man in San Francisco,
who Is not Briton,. though his name might
indicate such to be the case, and who pos
sesses the uncnviable distinction of being
tho most inconceivably ugly man on the
Pacific slope. For unadultelatcd homcli-
ness lie is entitled to the entire cake. One
evening during the recent carnival he got
into Mission street car attircd in loudly
striped ulster that added emphasis, if poss-
ible, to his unattractiveness. Immediately
upon his entrance little girl began to cry
vigorously, and apparently I'm q paroxysn,
of terror. This continued until its mother
leaned forward and said to the person refer
red to-: II beg your pardon, sir, but won't
you take Off your facea" 4.
"My facc3" inquired tho individual adj
dressed, "what do you mean2"
"Why, sec by your costume that you
are going to the carnival Your makeup
Is very ingenious, but my little girl was
once badly frightened by falsc-facc, and
has never quito recovered from the effects.
Won'tyou please, take of yours till we
get ont2'
And the child almost went into fits as the
gentleman withdrew to tho front platform,
with what he fattcred himself was a smile
Of contempt.

"rerhaps were you to search for your lost
love you might find her."
"God would be kinder to me than dare
hope, but if l should find my darling
A sweet, low voice interrupted him, and
Miss Leigh stood before him, her eyes glow
ing, her lips apart, the red roses clustering
ut her breast.
"Guy-Guy! am here. God has taken
care of ne for you--far better than l de-
served"
And then, shclterc: by the silken cur
tains, he took her in his arms and pressed
passionate kisses on her low, white brow,
and smiling lips.
An hour later, when Miss Leigh thrilled
the hearts of her listeners, as her voice
rang out in the old song, "My darling is
tender and true" only two in the room
know how her heart throbbcd at the
thought, for none savc themselves dreamed
of the story Of the two red roses.

"TAke Something FtneYn

AS the audience of the Bush Street
Thcatcr, San Francisco, was admiring tho
fidelity with which the highly polished bald
heads in the front rows reflected back tho
symmetrical tights on the stage, the other
evening, an usher slid down the aisle, and
slipped scrap of paper into the hand of q
gentleman, OH which he read the following
genial message, ostcnsibly from one Of the
rear seats, 'Comc out and take something.
Jins." 1t was a hot evening, and 80,
without pausing to decide which of the
numberless Jims of his acquaintance the
note was from, he carefully crowded past
the usual number of knobby knees and big
corns, and repaired to the sidewalk. A re-
spectacle looking man Immediately stepped
up and said:
GLOW are you Jim7 Awful hot, isn't it,
old man2''
"You mean your name is Jim," he re-
turned, smiling blandly.
And while they stood staring at each
other, still another party crowded his way
out, and advanced TO the first two, saying:
'Howdy, Jim3'
And as the trio blinkcd at each other, a
succession of gentlemen emerged, oil hold
ing small notes in their hands, looking
anxiously ound for somebody.
1t was evidently a fraud of tho meancst
dcscribtion; and, after the party had SYM
pathizcd with and 'tset 'om up" for each
other, they returned to tho theatcr, only to
find their seats, which were not reserved
ones, occupied by as many Pacific Board
brokers, who sat absorbedly sucking their
canes and gazing at tho play with express
sions of childlike innocence touching to
behold.
The victims of treachery stood up the
rest OF the evening and swore.

a kiusical Wonder.

Recently an old farm wagon ratified
through Paterson, N. j., containing group
of lll-kempt boys who had come from their
home in the mountains for froltc. The
most illiterate looking Of the boys walked
into music store, and, picking up an ac..3
cordeon, made delightful music, Surprised
at such a performance, the merchant asked
him, half In joke, to play a violin. The
boy said he knew nothing about music or
musical instruments, but he was even more
successful with the violin than with the ac-a
cordeon. Then he played piano, an organ,
clarionet, cornet and a 6ute In turn.
His companions said he was insance on
music, and that he could initiate correctly
almost any music after & once heating is,,SS
After enjoying the surprise Of his listener
the boy suddenly quilted the store. Jumped

Tho History Of Velvet.

Velvet was originally an Asiatic produc-
ti0n, introduced into Rome at the time of
the cmpcrors. 1t seems that the ancient
Greeks were not acquainted with it. In tho
middle ages some manufactures Of velvet
were established at Constaninople and In
some other towns of the eastern empire. At
q later time the fabrication Of vclvets pros
pered at Venice, at Genoa and at other towns
Of Italy before they were known in France.
Two Genocse imported this branch of in
dustry into Lyona, where they established a
manufactory under the auspices Of Francis
l, In 1886. Velvet, by the richness of Its
texture, at once took the priority on the
continent of all issues. 1t became the chief
material Of the costumes Of the middle
classes, the ornament of ceremonials, and
was employed to set of sumptuous apart
mentS.

FerOcity OF tho Leopard.

An instance Of the fcroclty of the leopard
occurred in the case of the missionary
Schmidt. This worthy man had gone out
with party Of Hottcntots to an other Nor
avian station to hunt some hycnas which
had been very destructive to their tlocks,
and, in company with one Of the men, en-
tered the thicket in pursuit of beast they
had wounded. Instead of a hyona, how.
ever, the dogs started leopard, which in
stantly sprang on the Hottcntot and bore
him to the ground. Mr.. Schmidt instantly
ran forward to the aid of fho man, with his
gun cooked; but before he could get an op-
portunity of firing the animal left the Hot
tentot and flew with fury at himself. In
the scutlle he dropped the gun, but luckily
fell above the leopard, with his knee on it's
stomach. The animal seized him by the
with it's paws and tearing his clothes in tat
ters from his breast. Schmidt however,
being powerful man, succeeded after re-
celving another severe bite or two, in sciz-
ing the leopard by the throat with his right
hand, and held 1t down, in spite of its des-
peratc struggles, for few minutes, and un-
til his strength was on the point of giving
way when Hottentot on tho outside of tho
jungle, who heard his cries, came to the
rescue and shot the ferocious beast through
the heart, 80 that its death was instanta-
ncous. Had any life been left, its dying
struggles would have proven fatal to Mr..
Schmidt. AS it was he was so lacerated
that for several weeks his life was in the
greatest danger. The Hottcntot who was
first attacked was less severely wounded,
but his face wasso much torn by the encmy's
claws that his eyes were filled with blood,
and he was unable to render any aid to the
missionary who had 80 generously come to
his aid.

WAsffISeroN, June 20, 1880.
MR. HARPER Your readers do not
need to be told that the nomination OF
Hancock is gratifying to the writer. AZ
ter tho positive withdrawal Of two distin-
gulshed gentlemen whose names had been
prominently mentioned, the Cincinnati
Convention, as a body, appears TO have
had no settled idea Of selecting any one
but the General. The second ballot was
necessary chiefly because OF an unreason-
able doubt of Mr.. Tilden's sincerity
The nomination made has already done
much IN New York, Pennsylvania, and
Massachusetts, to consolidate the Demo
cratic party, and in other States there
are indications not seen in many years
of revival Of Democratic courage and y
renewal of Democratic effort.
The sole objection to General Hancock
is an alleged lack of civil experience.
AS indicating a just knowledge and ap-
probation of our system of Government
we may safely put General Hancock's
utterances, while military Governor OF
Louisiana, in 1867, against all that FIRE.
mont, Lincoln. Grant and Hayes-sll the
Republican candidates-had ever said
up to the day of their nomination. A
brief extract from one Of these documents
shows as clear m understanding of civil
rights under the constitution rs Calhoun
or Webster could have had. All that
Hancock wrote and said during that pc.
rilous and excited time Of reconstruction
was as forcib)e ard as wise as this:
"Solcmnly impressed with these views,
tho General announces that the great
principles Of American liberty are still
the lawful Inheritance OF this people and
ever should be. The right OF trial by
jury, the habeas corpus. the liberty OF
the press. the freedom of speech. the ma.
tural rights of persons and the rights of
property must be preserved. Free iusti-
tutions, while they are essential to the
prosperity and happiness Of the people,
always furnish the strongest Inducements
10 peace and order. Crimes and offenses
committed in this district must be refer
red to the consideration and Judgment
of the regular civil tribunals, and those
tribunals will he supported in their law
full jurisdiction. While the General thus
indicates his purpose TO respect the lib
critics Of the people, he wishe, all to I'M.
derstand that armed instruction or for
chile resistance 10 the law will be instant.
ly suppressed by arms"
Here is an answer to all charges Of un.
fitness.
or the election Of General Hancock no
Washington Democrat has doubt. Of
the benefits to DO derived from q return
to strictly constitutional government, as
would be the case after such an election,
1 believe half the Republicans III the coun.
try are satisfied.
