The Road to Povety.

Be 'sclever fellow" Tt is. the
incest thing in the world. While
your money lasts all the dead-beats
will laugh with you, and as soon as it
is gone they will laugh at you. which
makes quite difference, as you will
fnd.
IF you do not like this plan, or
have not money enough to follow it
successfully, you can attain the same
end by loafng around waiting for
something to turn up. This will
take some time longer, but then you
can afford to wait for starvation. IF
You want to hurry matters, you can
waste a good deal of money on tobac-
co and cigars, and to some extent
injure your health.
But the great specific that rarely
fails to bring not only poverty, but
also crime, disease and shame, is to
drink Intoxicating liquors. 1t does
not matter how you begin; consult
your own taste as to that Wine,
cider, beer, whisky, its all one-no
matter where you begin, you will end
with gin or whisky and the gutter.
This plan has many and peculiar
advantages. As soon as you are
known to be in the habit Of taking
Intoxicating liquors, no matter how
small the quantity. men will begin to
suspect you, and in a short time cease
to trust you. and then if you have
not already accumulated property,
you cannot. So, you will have more
time, you can drink more, go down
faster and faster, and in few years
die pauper.

THE blunders in the Indiana election
returns will probably make no practical
difference in the result. The mi ssing
marshal of the eighth district turned up
at Indianapolis, Friday with the returns
from that district, explaining that he
had another week in which to collect. 1t
has also been ascertained that with the
exception of two precincts, the returns
which show votes enough for Thomas
w. Bennett to defeat Parker are simply
errors in transcription by the clerks of
the several counties. These clerks are
making affidayits to this effect which the
board of state canvassers has voted to
receive; and so the total electoral vote of
the state will be given to Garfield. The
vote of the state as tabulated by the can
vassers stands: Garfield, 232, 164; Han
cock. 225,525; Weaver, 1886. Garfield's
plurality, 6,642. The vote for governor
was: Porter, 231, 4O5; Landers, 224, 452;
Gregg, 1881.

Charles A. Doyle is cutting figure at
st. Louis with a mermaid he claims to
have bought in Japan, and he will have
the academy of science pass upon its
genuineness at its next meeting. The
creature, which is almost three feet
long, was captured by Japanese fisher
men, and was kept at the Toxic museum
for year and half before Doyle bought
her for $1,000. The head, chest, abdO-
men and arms are Enthusiastically human,
but from the abdomen down the crea-
ture is scaly fish. The arms are cover
ed with scales to the wrist, and the backs
of the small hands have scaly covering
to the finger tips. The head is small as
that OF baby, but is perfect in every
detail; the forehead does not recede, but
IS high and straight, and is of the class
that indicates an unusual degree of in
telligence. The eyes are soft and light
less as those of a fish; but the mouth,
the ears, the nose and all the other fea-
lures are said to be regular, clear cut and
as perfect As wOman's face.

The Partisan says: "a remarkable
we'll preserved frescO of Antonio del
POllajuOlo, formerly in the church of
San MiniatiO fra lie Tore, belonging to
the MichelOzzi family of Florene, has
just been sent to New York as gift to
the museum of fine arts from the we'll
known capitalist, Mr.. Vanderbilt. The
subject of the frescO is gigantic st.
Christopher wading through ford, car
rying an infant christ on his shoulder.
The saint is clad in red of different hues,
and is powerfully drawn, the landscape
is of gray hue, the expression and
general character of the figure is some
what grim and ungainly, but is fair
specimen of Pollajuolo's work, and there
fore valuable acquisition to the museum
if it is to possess a collection of samples
of the early Italian masters; but we
imagine that the good people of New
York will not be won over to old master
dom by it if it is to stand Alone"

THE visit of General Grant and the
Mexican Minister to Plymouth Church
Sunday OccasiOned sensational episode.
At the conclusion of the service, the
congregation remained in their seats to
get look at the distinguished visitors.
Mr. Beecher announced that the services
were ended, and requested the people to
leave the church. The congregation,
however, made no movement toward
going out Mr. Beecher. with strange
impatience, proclaimed: "This house is
for the worship of God, not of war;" and
again appealed to the people to dispense.
Nobody went until General Grant and
the Minister quietly took up their hats
and walked out. Then the church was
quickly emptied.

CINCINNATI has an organization which
insures its members against marriage.
The management is much like that of
the cooperative life insurance cOmpan-
les. Every member of lodge pays S.
initiation fee, So annual dues, and 81
every time a member marries. the mar
ried one receiving the money. There is
a good deal more alacrity in earning the
insurance than there is i'm the life COM
panies. In fact, the alacrlty is so great
that it threatens the existence of the
organization, as the married men cease,
of course, to be members.

A CURIOUS phenomenon was noted dur
ing the Arctic researches of the revenue

and grass. The remains almost the

CONSIDERABLY feeling is caused among
New York taxpayers by the sdeclsiOn of
Judge Lawrence in the Albany Bank
case, that the tax on banks imposed by
the law of 1866 is unconstitutional. 1t
is realized that this decision, if sustain
ed. will considerably in crease the taxa
ton upon other classes of property.

A NEW YORK Herald letter says: One
Of the most remarkable traits of this
peculiar people in Alaska is their aver
sion to salt, which they will not eat in
any form. I have seen them, when Of
fered choice piece of cOrned-beef on
the vessel, taste it, and on finding that
it had been sailed, spit out the mouth
full with a wry face and throw the re-
mainder on the deck in disgust. No
matter how putrid a whale or seal may
be, they eat it, raw and unreasonable,
with evident relish.
