Making Amends.

A dramatist sitting by friend at a
theater, contrived to extract handker-
chief from his pocket and transfer it to
his own. Presently a man behind him,
tapping him on the shoulder, whispered:
"Beg pardon; here's your purse.
Didn't know you belonged to the pro-
fession; all rightr' at the same time
slipping into the amateurs hand the
purse he had extracted from his pocket.
The story may pass, for although honor
among thieves has no existence, it is
probable that regular practitioners act
on the old principle that dog should not
eat dog. That they ever go an inch be-
yond that we do not believe, even though
we have it on the authority of the Gaulois
that Charles Dickens once lost his watch
at a theater in Paris, and found it at his
hotel with note running; "Sir; hope
you will excuse me, but thought was
dealing with Frenchman, and not q
countryman. Finding out my mistake, I
hasten to repair it by returning here
with the watch I stole from you. I beg
you to receive the homage of my respect,
and to believe me, my dear countryman.
your humble and obedient servant. A
Pickpocket."
Triders with feminine affections do not
always get off so cheaply. A young
clergyman, wise enough to choose we'll,
but foolish enough to allow himself to be
ruled by his friends after proposing to a
young lady, declined to fulfill the en-
gagement; and being sued for breach of
promise, was cast in damages e5, 900.
This brought him to his senses. Seeking
the plaintiff, he vowed that he had
behaved UNANIMOUSLY, but vowed that he
had loved her all the while and loved her
still, and prayed her to forgive and for
get. My friends, said he, sscan make
no objection now; they cannot say you
are without a penny, since you have
f5 900 of your very own. His pleading.
proved irresistible, and the lady and
money were soon his own again.

An Indians view Of Custer.

have heard some versions of the Gus
ter fight from the Sioux chiefs who were
in it, and instead of being as the Yankees
call it, massacre" it was, in my
opinion, a fair fight, in which the Indians
proved themselves brave men. Big
Thunder's account of it is, think. true.
He says the whole band, consisting of
about s, 200 men, women and children,
or about 800 warriors, were in camp, not
at all suspecting that they were being
pursued, and consequently had no
scouts out. The warriors were engaged
in big feast toward evening, when a
squaw came in and told them that large
dust was rising on the prairie. They
thought little of it, until they were in
formed that horsemen were approaching
and close upon them. They seized their
arms just as Clusters 300 men in line
broke into the camp. The women and
children ran to the hills near by, while
the warriors fred upon the soldiers from
under their tepees. He says the soldiers
were in fearful state of excitement, as
were the horses, and not seeing the foe,
many of the men shot each other, SEEM
ing to be frantic and not knowing what
they did. He says Custer and a private
were the brave men; both, after they
had been shot several times, lay on the
ground firing their revolvers at every
one they could see. The Sioux think the
private must have been devil, as they
could not kill him until literally hacked
to pieces. Very few Sioux were killed in
the battle. Big Thunder says that if
they had expected Custer, they would
have tried to escape him, not wishing to
risk fight. They have great dislike
and distrust of the Yankees, and do not
want to have any more to do with them.
When General Terry came to Fort
Walsh after the battle to see Sitting Bull
and get him to surrender, a council was
held in the officers quarters here, and
Sitting Bull and his chiefs were sent for.
They came and shook hands with all our
officers, but would not look at the Ameri-
cans, and when asked to speak to them
they sent for squaw, the greatest insult
they can give. do not think we need
fear trouble from the Sioux, as they
seem very well disposed towards us.
We don't know whether it is old or
not, but we heard a lady ask friend, in
stl eet car, the othe day:
"Annie, is it proper to say this ere, that
'are?n
AWhy Kate, of course not" was the re-
s.Well," said Kate, sI don't know
whether it is proper or not, but feel cold
in this ear from that airn

A GOLD MINE IN Cow.-One of the
most remarkable COWS on record is the
10th Duchess of Airdrie, owned by the
Hon. Mat. Cochrane, which has just
given birth to her ninth calf, red
heifer, to be named the 9Th Duchess of
Hillhurst, by Sd Duke of Oneida. OF
the 10th Duchess and her daughters
calves, Mr.. Cochrane has sold the follow
ing animals at the prices named: In the
winter of 1875 the bull calf, 4th Duke of
Hillhurst, at $1,000; at public auction in
Toronto, June 16, 1875, the bull calf,
9TH Duke of Hi]lhurst, two months old,
at $4,000, and the heifer Airdrie Duchess
9th, eight months old, at 5000; at
auction sale in Toronto, June IA, 1876,
the COW Airdrie Duchess I'd, at $21 900,
and the heifer Airdrie Duchess Sd, at
$23, 900. In August, 1877, privately,
the heifer 9th Duchess of Hillhurst,
at ST., 900; and at a public sale at Bow
ness, Windermere, England, September
4, 1877, the heifers Sd Duchess and 9th
Duchess of Hillhurst. at 400 and 1900
guineas each, or $20, 500 and $21, 500 re-
spectively; making total of $131 500 for
eight animals sold. He has still in his
possession, besides the 10th Duchess,
Airdrie Duchess 4th, 7th Duke and 7th
and Stn DucheSS OF dulhurSt, nve AMI
mails, and had lost four animals by death.
The above result has perhaps never been
equaled by any one animal at the same
age. In December, 1875, an offer of
$25, 900 for the 10th Duchess was refused,
and the same for her daughter, Airdrie
Duchess 4th. Since then the old cow has
brought three heifers and one bull; two
of the heifers have been sold for $33 800,
and there still remain the bull and the
heifer just dropped, besides the dam,
who will probably breed number of
calves yet Nova Scotian Journal of

Thought He Was Looking Well.

A famous lawyer of Missouri, noted
for his legal learning and classical
scholarship, illustrated by his eccentric
habits an old English song:
1.-The loss OF wealth Is the loss of dirt,
AS sages In all times assert,
The happy mans without q shirt !"
s'Billy Campbell, . as he was fam1liarly
called, made much and saved little
money, for he had no idea of its value.
He indorsed for everybody, and if he
went out into the street with pocket
full of change, he would return without
a cent, having given something to every
beggar he met.
One day, the sheriff, in reply to Mr..
Campbells question, 'sWhat's the news 2''
said, Nothing, sir, but this, am sorry
to say, had to sell your house and lot
for the debt you owed as security to Mr..
HILL"
"Oh, that's nothing" answered Camp
bell; 'sthe property is not lost, it has
only changed hands"
Mr.. Campbell was an easy y-going bach
elor, and had the reputation of being
one of the most slovenly dressed lawyers
in the State. On one occasion, when he
was about leaving home to attend the
Legislature, his sister informed him that
she had packed dozen new shirts in his
trunk.
ssNow, brother" said she, edo be
more particular about your dress, and
don't forget to put on o clean shirt at
least twice week. It's very nlortifying
to have you go about looking SO dirty" !"
On his return home at the close of the
session she congratulated him on his
hearty appearance.
s'Why, you have grown as fat as
pig" she remarked, ssthey must have fed
you well at the Capitali"
s.Yes, they take good care of us, )" he
replied, "for they are always in want of
some appropriations.
Looking into her brothers trunk, and
finding but two shirts, she called out:
"Where, brother, are all those new
shirts gave you 2"
s'Don't you find them in the trunk ?''
s'No; I see but two. !"
Possibly / may have some on me-"
An examination disclosed the fact that
he was wearing six shirts, which ac-
counted for his apparent improvement in
flesh.

That somebody read aloud,
At table of laneuid boar6eTs.
To a dull, Indifferent crowd.
Market reports and a marriage,
And the reader read them all;
How could he know hope died then,
And was wrapped in funeral pail
Only a line in the paper,
Read in a casual way,
But the glow went out of one young life.
And left 1t cold and gray
Colder than bleak December.
Grayer than walls of rock:
The reader paused, and the room grew fuli
OF laughter and idle talk.
II one slipped of to her chamber
Why, who could dream or know
That one brief line In the paper
Had sent her away with her woe
Away into lonely sorrow,
To bitter and binding tears
Only q line in the paper
But 1t meant such desoIate years.

Low Neck in the Yosemite.
For genuine good taste and a nice

For genuine good taste and nice
apprehension Of the requirements of
social life, and-and-well, and
style, we will back some of our
millionaires produced by the last
rise, but one, in Union Con. against
any class of people in the world. For
instance, there is Pat Donovan
sometimes alluded to as sBig Patsy"
by envious people not yet in society
who once kept the admirably con-
Quoted grocery at the corner of De-
visadero and Shag alley, whose pure
brown sugar at ten pounds for a
dollar, and superb mess mackeral,
and-however, as Mr.. d. is not in
business any more, it is unnecessary
to say anything more on that head.
Well, as everybody in real good
society knows, Donovan struck it
very rich about year ago, and
and since then has built q log house
on the "Nob" somewhere, and his
daughter and heir, Nora, has come
out as shining light of the Emusic
ales," SO frequently given in fashion,
able circles nowadays. She had only
taken six months lessons. So at
! these recherche entertainments she
simply improvised "Songs Without
Words" which is the safest thing to
do under the circumstances, and
couldn't very well be criticised, al
though those who usually applauded
did 80 under the impression that the
effort was mastery imitation of a
piano tuner stringing up a concert
grand. Last month Donovan con-
cluded that it was about time to do
something peculiarly unique and
fashionable, SO he organized grand
camping-out party for the Yosemite,
and started off with a large number
of invited guests. Among the wag-
ons was one that excited good deal
of curiosity, as it contained a large,
carefully covered object, the use of
which only became apparent after
dinner at the first camp. Then,
while the party was discussing its
coffee, the cover was removed from
the wagon referred to, disclosing a
Steinway grand piano, and at the
same time Miss Nora Donovan
emerged from a tent attired in full,
low-necked evening costume, and,
ascending a velvet-lined step-ladder,
proceeded to thump out "Nancy Lee''
with great vigor in three flats. Un
fortunately, however, the fashionable
triumph this was intended to achieve
was interfered by an unlocked for
event. The team of bronchos had
not been detached, and at the very
first note they started off with a
jump that landed the piano right on
the top of the campfire, and stood
the sweet singer, low neck and all
on her head in a ditch.
The next day the Donovan picnic
disbanded.-S. r. Post.

How He Cor THE KETrLE.-Bishop
Selwyn was benevolent and kindly
spoken man, as well as a great and
famous one. He interested himself
much in the poor, especially in miners.
One day, coming on a company of the
latter, he heard them talking in very
animated way, SO loudly that he said to
them: .'My friends, something seems to
interest you all very much; heard your
voices quite in the distance; may in
quire what it is?" To which they re-
piled: 'sYou see that copper kettle there?
We found it, and were just saying that
the one who could tell the biggest lie
should have it." ''Oh, said the Bishop,
'I am sorry for that; I hope you will
never again tell lies. 'Tis fearful
habit, and SO unmanly. Why, never
told aaie in my life. Whereupon the
miners shouted in one breath: "Give the
governor the tea-kettle."
A generous soul is sunshine to the
mind.
