Poetic PAPER.

An exchange tells of merchant who
has no sentiment in his soul. Young
poetesses have to meet good many
such men in this world. He keeps a
variety store, and among his customers
was young lady who was looking for
some letter paper.
THAT is not quite good enough"
said the lady, after examining the goods
he first displayed. "Have you any bet
ter quality?'
"Oh, yes," he replied, taking down
another box.
IL want something still better than
that" she said, looking at him smiling
ly. Something good enough to write
poetry on"
"Why, my dear madam" said the
shopman, as il greatly surprised; "that
paper is plenty good enough for that
purpose. Why, sold a man some of
that same quality yesterday to make
out dog-lcenses onl"
She dropped the goods and swept
out of the store as if Western zephyr
had struck her, while very indignant
smile rested upon her poetic features.

4 CAT and n Rattlpsnakp.

l was walking in my garden one
morning, thinking about preparing for
an early start tor spring vegetables,
when L saw large rattlesnake summing.
My first impulse was to go to the house,
get gun, and kill it. But, looking
around, saw very large house cat
cautiously creeping upon the reptile.

Gus OF getting rid of the cat, which
killed chickens, concluded to witness
his attack upon the snake. The cat
crawled upon its stomach, pulling along
on its feet, whisking its tail from side to
side. and every now and then stretching
its neck to view the snake. When
about ten or twelve feet off the snake
suddenly coiled up, sprung It's rattle,
faced the cat and darted it's forked
tongue out rapidly. The cat commenced
rapid circle around the snake, SO fast
i'll fact that the eye could hardly keep
up with it, At last it got near enough
and made dart at its enemy, but,
through providential reasons, it went
high above the snake, which also struck
at the cat, thus breaking its coil. The
cat went too far, and, by the time it had
turned to face its foe, the reptile was
again coiled and ready for the attack.
The same method was adopted and car
ried on four or five times, occupying at
least half an hour The cat wished to
catch the snake, but seemed aware that
if it missed the neck it would be certain
death. AT the sixth assault they met,
and instantly the snake was wrapped in
several folds around the body of the
cat, which used its sharp claws with
deadly effect. The cat had been bitten
on the head and neck several times, ard

was torn nearly to shreds, but did not

Floods Luck.

Mr.. Floods story of his lucky stroke
is this: was on Montgomery street
one day, and friend said Treat me-
to which / replied, / have no money
Buy Consolidated Virginia and you
will be rich; you know my judgment is
good was his reply. Something told
me there was inspiration in his advice,
and i said: We'll, go and buy me
1000 shares The mine was an old
one, and supposed to be exhausted, and
my order was filled at Sc "a share. When
1 once go at thing go in deep, and
so continued to buy until l got con-
troll of the mine, which was about 5000
shares, and which cost me about
$6O,0OO My friends all came to see
me, like the comforters of old Job. and
said: Flood, you're cracked but 1
thought 1 had good mine. They
didn't see how was going to get at the
ore, if there was any there, without
sinking the shaft, which would cost q
heap of money; hut L did. A little
bird has sung to me several tunes in
the course of my life when there was
crisis in my affairs. Some call it in
stinct or foresight, call it providence.
l ran secret drift through the neigh
boring mines, and struck rich body of
ore. We got S33 100000 in dividends
out of that hole in ten years. "-Ne,o

Amenities Of American craftsmanship.

In the California Assembly, Mr.. Ty-
Ter alluded to Mr.. Braunhart, of San
Francisco, as "The gentleman from
Judea." Tyler subsequently retracted,
but Braunhart declared that he was not
satisfied with the gentleman's explana-
ton. He was not born in Judea, and
quoted, "Where ignorance Is wit, It's
folly to reply" and compared Tyler to
"Esop's ass-the animal who put on
the lions skin to disguise himself, but
was known by his bray" 81 am" add
ed Braunhart, like the Irishmau who
was kicked by the mule, and will con-
slider the source" He further claimed
to be an American citizen, and wanted
to be understood as such, and avowed
his willingness to make any explains
ton to Tyler outside the Assembly
chamber.

The Old Mill.POnd.

Who is there who has not in some
recess of the memory a dear old haunt
like this, some such sleeping pond ra-
diant with reflections of the scenes of
early life? Thither in those winter
days we came, our numbers swelled
from right and left with eager volun-
teers for the game, till at last almost a
hundred strong we rally on the smooth
black ice. The opposing leaders choose
their sides, and with loud hurrahs we
penetrate the thickets at the waters
edge, each to cut his special choice of
stick-that festive cudgel, with curved
and club-shaped end, known to the boy
as Skinny stick" but to the calm re-
collection of after life principally as an
instrument of torture, indiscriminateiy
promiscuous in its playful moments.
How clearly and distinctly l recall
those toughening, rollicking sports on
the old mill-pondl l see the two OPP
posing forces on the field of ice. the
wooden ball placed ready for the fray.
The starter lifts his stick. j hear a
whizzing sweep. Then comes that liq-
uid. twittering ditty of the hardwood
ball Swimming over the ice, that quick
succession of bird like notes, first dis
tinct and clear, now fainter and more
blended, now fainter still, until at last
it melts into whispered quivering
whistle, and dies away midst the scrap
ing sound of close pursuing skates.
With a sharp crack l see the ball re-
turned singing over the polished sur
face, and met half way by the advance
guard of the leading side. Now comes
the tug of war. Strange fun! What
spectaclel The would-be striker, with
stick uplifted, jammed in the center of
boisterous throng; the hillsides echo
with ringing shouts, and an anxious cir
Gle, with ready sticks, forms about the
swaying, gesticulating mob. Meanwhile
the ball is beating round beneath their
feet, their skates are clashing steel on
steel. / hear the shuffiingr kicks, the
battling strokes of clubs, the husky
mutterirgs of passion half suppressed !;
1 hear the painting breath and the i'm
petuous whisperings between tie teeth,
as they push and wrestle and jam. A
lucky hit now sends the ball few feet
from the fray. A ready hand improves
the chance; but as he lifts his stick a
youngsters nose gets in the way and
spoils his stroke; he slips, and falls up.

headlong over him. The crowd sur

class in Harvard University has black
eve or broken head. A few nights ago
about thirty of the boys went to Boston
to attend a party, and concluded to
walk home. On the way they encoun-
tered an amiable policeman, who, after
a brief discussion with them on the
subject of making less noise, waded in,
and with club. revolver and fist put the
whole party to rout. They claim that
they were only singing little ditty, but
he swears that they were drunk.

AT the paper mills of Crane Broth
ers, Coltsville, Mass, large quantities of
bank-note paper are made for the Gov
eminent. The strictest inspection as
TO quality is observed, a spot or speck
no larger than a pin head being suffic-
lent to condemn a sheet, and the en-
ployes arriving and departing are care
fully watched. Armed guards patrol
the premises and grounds day and
night, and no approach to them is per-
mitted. Twenty-four women were sent
from the Treasury Departments count
ers and examiners, and are each able to
count 10000 sheets daily. The pre-
cautions are necessary to prevent dupli-
cation of sheets for dishonest purposes.

WILLIAM FRANKLIN, of Salem, Ore,
astounded his bride by telling her that
ne did not believe a husband ought to
have any secrets from his wife. and,
therefore, he would confess to her that
he had murdered several men. He as
sured her that he would kill her and
himself if she revealed the matter. The
love that she had borne for him there
upon changed to loathing, and she soon
told the story. Next morning the couple
were found dead, Franklin having car
ried out his threat.

older pupils were required by the
teacher, certain Samuel Roop, to
write compositions" A young miss
of Is refused to go through with this
part of the school exercises. The
teacher notified her that, on the follow

write composition. The girl had a
couple of big brothers and, when they
heard of this peremptory order, they
concluded to attend school themselves
on Monday, and, if the teacher attempt
ed to enforce it, to give him thrash
ing. The teacher was advised of this
threat, and put revolver in his pocket
before he started for the school house
on Monday morning. The big brothers
were in attendance. When the hour
came for writing compositions, the
teacher laid his revolver on the desk,
and told the refractory girl to proceed
with her task. The big brothers kept
their seats in mute establishment while
their sister wrote composition. A

was called, and they sustained Mr.
