At the outset of the hurrah campaign,
Tom Price had the sand to take in the
following exceedingly soft snap: Tom

and whose hide is so white, that If Bar

he would have promptly made it the
nucleus of q bonanza by exhibiting it as
q new species of sacred horned elephant

just more than booming for Hancock
shortly after the Cincinnati convention,
agreed with Price that if Garfield was
was elected he would pay ten cents
a pound for the steer. and that in the

give him the "critter" as & gratuity. We

4 Tale Of O Rat.Trap.

She was a woman OF Bloomington,
Ind. Her husband was a mechanical
genius with a hankering after a per-
petual motion machine, and her son was
a live boy with a taste for hunting rats.
The son one day set a steel trap in the
cellar and went away TO borrow a rat
dog. The woman went into the cellar
with a requisition for rations, and her
searching gaze fell on the trap. "Oh,
DEAR" she sighed, John Henry has
made another perpetual motion ma
chine" and prompted by a womanly
curiosity she picked it up by the trig-
ger TO see how the old thing worked.
She saw. With hideous howls she
climbed the cellar stair like a whirl-
wind and went wailing through the
house, and 1ed into the street, waking
the echoes with dis%consolatc shrieks,
while the neighbors shouted fire and
thronged into her house and began
pitching out the furniture. Order once
more reigns in Bloomington, but that
woman has posted a placard on the
doors notifying all to whom these pres
ents may come greeting, that hereafter
it is to be all perpetual motion machine
or all rat-trap about that house, she
don't care d cent which, but she ISN'T
going to have the thing mixed any more

The dearest Thing at Venice.

1t is a remarkable fact, says a tourist
IN Venice, that here, in particular, more
than In any other part OF Italy, a glass
OF water always accompanies a cup OF
coffee. The custom is 10 drink the
coffee and then swallow the water.
Whether the coffee is taken as an anti
dote to the water, or vice VERSE, | have

pos of water, Venice is dependent upon
the rains for its supply. There is no
water company for supplying the city.
That for drinking and domestic uses is
collected in subterranean reservoirs.
where it is said to be filtered. Let
those believe it who can. The water
is doled out at the public wells of the
city, which are open one hour daily for
that purpose, and then as carefully
locked up as though it were an ex isc-
able article. There has not been a
drop of rain during the last eight
weeks; but, to provide against this
deficiency, the municipality employs
lighters or barges prepared for the
purpose with tanks, which are filled
with pure water outside OF Venice.
This is a step in the right direction,
were it not that this fresh water is ruE

ShreWd Detective Work.

A man as wanted by the police,
and his skill in the arts Of "making up
and lodging his would be captors was
so considerable that for a long time he
escaped detection. At length a clever
detective was put on his track, and first
of all he began to inquire about his as
sociates. One of the most intimate OF
them was, it appeared, a certain young
woman, and about her he first of all
found out everything. lie had reason to
suspect that she was acquainted with
the iugitive's hiding-place, so the first
thing to be done was to follow her on a
Saturday afternoon, when she was free
from her employment. An innocent
young detective, in the guise of a car
penter, was told off to watch, and en-
deavor to strike up IN acquaintance, in
which design he was not very success
full, though he %ascertained thai Kings
ton was her destination that afternoon.
To Kingston he went and traced her
to a house occupied by IN old man,
about whom the neighborS knew no
more than that he was an old man. He
was IN elderly invalid, never went TO
tie door, never went out, saw nobody;
and how was he to be caught and ex-
aminedp There was nothing known
about him to justify the police in enter
ing the house, and the detective walked
round the place in company with the
carpenter" wondering what to do
next. At the back of the house was a
garden, in which was n kennel con-
tanning a big dog, or rather not contain
ing him, for he was lying out in the san
at the end of his chain. No sign of life
was visible in the house. Jump over
the wall and kicked that dog, then hide
behind the summer house" said the de-
tective to the carpenter" In q mo-
ment the young man was over the wall,
ard the dog was bowling from the eff
fects of a kick in the ribs. Neighboring
dogs Joined in the chorus, and at the
window appeared the old gentleman.
No one was about; the dog continued
to howl, and incautiously his owner
came down the garden to see what was
the matter. Beneath the well-madc
gray wig the detectives keen eye re-
cognized the object of his search, and

His Remains Disinterred and Quietly
Removed to Baltimore.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Buffalo Commercial writes: It was
only after some patient inquiry that I
could ascertain the facts, which are in
teresting, and so far as l know are yet
unpublished. Booth died, as will be
remembered, in a barn in Maryland,
from a wound received from the musket
OF Boston Corbett. His body was
brought to Washing ton, and after hay
ing been identified by the court martial
before which his fellow.conspirators
we're tried, was dissected by the sur
geon general of the army. The brain
and heart and some other parts Of the
body were preserved in alcohol, and are
now on exhibition in the medical mu.
scum Of the surgeon generals Office
The building in which the assassination
occurred was Ford's Theatre. The gov
eminent confiscated it, but afterwards
Ford was paid its full value, and it has
since been used as the headquarters of
the medical corps Of the army. The
brain and heart of Booth are in jars,
standing in a case that is situated very
near the actual scene OF the assassina-
ton. After the surgeon had done with
Booths body it was buried in a grave in
the arsenal grounds. Only half a dozen
persons knew the exact spot, which was
unmarried. In 1867, Edwin Booth, the
actor, sent Mr.. Weaver, the sexton Of
Christ's Church, Baltimore, to Wash
ington, with q request that the remains
Of his brother might be taken up and
removed to the family burial place. At
ter some delay the request was granted
by President johnson, who was finally
appealed to, and Mr.. Weaver took the
body to the cemetery in Baltimore and
buried it beside the elder Booth an6
others Of the family. The removal was
conducted with great secrecy, and con
cealed from Secretary Stanton, who had
refused to give his consent.
