Another Good Boy.
detroit Free preSs-1

A Detroit grocer was the other day
hungrily waiting for his clerk to return from
dinner and give him a chance at his own
MONDAY meal, when boy came into the
store with basket in his hand, and said:
Il seed boygrab up this ere basket from
the door and run, and / run after him and
made him give it rp."
my lad, you are an honest boy"
Eyes, SIR"
"And you look like good boy"
"Yes, sir"
And good boys should always be en-
couraged. In box in the back room there
are eight dozen eggs. You may take them
home to your mother and keep the basket"
The grocer had been saving those eggs for
days and weeks to reward some one. In re-
warding good boy he also got eight dozen
bad eggs carried out of the neighborhood
free of cost, and he chuckled little chuck
as he walked homeward.
The afternoon waned, night came and
went and once more the grocer went to
his dinner. When he returned he was pick
ing his teeth and wearing a complacent
smile. His eye caught basket of eight
dozen eggs as he entered the store, and he
queried:
"Been buying some eggs2'
Eyes; got hold of those from farmers

The grocer sat down and examined the
eggs. The shells had been washed clean,
but they were the same eggs that good boy
had lugged home the day before.

The White House Dinner Service.
New York Tribue.

A duplicate autograph set of the White
House porcelain service made by Haviland
& Co., of Limoges, for the Executive Man
sion has been recently received by Havi-
land, Merritt 81 Co., of No. Ii Barclay street,
New York The set comprises 135 pieces
decorated with designs by Theodore r. Da-
Wis, illustrating exclusively American fauna
and fora.
In the oyster plates the colors are laid
upon the china clay under the glaze, both
being fired at the same time. Five Blue
Point Oyster-shells cover the principal por-
ton of the plate, beyond which is a cluster
of the raccoon oysters of the Southern States
surrounded by seaweed on background
representing the ocean, The soup rlates are
shaped like ten-sided angular bowl. the
contour conforming to the base and edges
of the laurel flower. An Indian sitting on
the verge of cataract, the palmetto cab
bage, the harvest moon shining upon q field
of Indian corn and pumpkins, q mountain
cabin with tomatoes placed on n board to
ripen in the sun. green turtle crawling be-
tween the ribs of an old wreck on a Florida
reef, clam-bake. frog sitting on a stone
in summer shower. and an old-fashioned
open fireplace and swinging crane of a New
England home are among the designs of the
soup-plates. The fish-platter is rectangular
in form, with corners rolled in and enriched
with gold. The design represents a huge
shad struggling to free itself from the
meshes of a net. Each plate gives a spirited
representation of different kind of fish in
the water.
The platter for the roast shows magnifi
cent turkey standing proudly out upon the
snow against high-colored sunset. Among
the designs on the plates, which are coupe
in form, with narrow rim, are the may
flower, bear which has disturbed hive of
wild bees, while his mate enjoys the stu
alton from underneath the trees, buffalo
dying in a blizzard, surrounded by hungry
coyotes; "coon" hunt by torchlight, the
collared peccary of Texas, deer startled
and gazing at ''jacklight," and the ''cranes'
walk-around." The game platter offers a
canvas-back duck floating about and
plucking wild celery. Several kinds of game
birds, from the grouse and ptarmigan to the
rice bird, are represented.
Among the chincapins, pawpaws and
grapes adjoining the fruit plates is design
showing New England sugar-camp, and
another of bears reveling in pals of buckle
berries, the owner of which has been fright
ened away. The artists studio on the sea
shore at Asbury Park is also shown. The
form of the coffee cup is derived from a
joint of bamboo sprout springing from
the eye Stimulating the handle. The handle
of the teacup, which is shaped like man.
darin's hat Inverted, is formed by the stem
of tea plant, the leaves decorating the out
side. The interior is a delicate green, t4e
saucer and outside being enriched with dead
gold. An independent butter-plate repre-
sents the leaf of the white water-lily, upon
which Is drop of water.

Payment of Deputy bfarsha1s.
TSnecial To the Cincinnati Commercial

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-There is project
on foot among the Republicans to call up,
Immediately after the reassembling of Con-
gress, the question of the payment of United
States Deputy Marshals for their services
during the past several years. and to ask
for an appropriation for their claims. II is
asserted by those who favor such action that
the amount necessary TO cover existing de-
ficiencies will not exceed half million of
dollars, and that as an act of simple justice
the money should have been appropriated
long ago, and paid to those who rendered
the services. The present is regarded
as a favorable time for pressing
these claims, as the Democrats are
less likely to maintain any factious oppo-
sition, owing to their desire to prevent an
extra session, and to accomplish legislation
while they have a majority. 1t is claimed
that there are several Democratsin the House
who will consent to the appropriation rather
than give the Republicans any excuse for
delaying legislation, and thus force an extra
session.

o'clock this morning. During the progress

Mr.. II. Fitzpatrick, the City Marshal,

the disturbance, He responded to the call
at once, and endeavored to quiet the parties,
and in doing so was stabbed several times

CONCLUSION.

The widespread ignorance at the North
the social condition here is de-
plored by this people. 1t is a hurtful SLAM
der, in that it stops a tide of immigration
that the great natural resources of the coun
try would otherwise attract. But for the
Republican avarice for political spoil, time
would be allowed to heal the wounds and
bitterness engendered by the war.
