THE Victoria Colonist says it is ru-
mored that the cause which led to
the quick dispatch of II. NJ. S. Gannet
for the Sanwich Islands on Monday
arose from the fact that telegraphic
information was received of the inten-
ton of the Uuited States to gobble up
Kalakaua's kingdom. 1t is added
that the flagship is Fastening toward
Honolulu from the South American
coast, and that the ships of other
naval powers have been ordered to
rendezvous there.

The Man Who Watched.

A day or two ago, soon after the hour of
noon, an individual who seemed to be labor.
ing under considerable excitement entered a
grocery store on Michigan avenue and asked
for a private word with the proprietor. When
the request had been granted he explained:
81 believe myself to be an injured husband,
and want to verify my suspicious by watch
ing house on the other street. This | can
best do from the rear of your store. Have you
any objections to my taking a seat there by
the open Window"
The grocer granted the favor and the agl-
tated stranger walked back and took a seat on
a box of Goldfish and began his watch. HIS
presence had been almost forgotten when he
returned to the front of the store with hasty
step and qulvering voice and said:
"Great heavens! but I'll kill her! Yes, I'll
shoot her through the hearth
Your wife? o.
Eyes, my idolized Mary! | can no longer
doubt her guilt, and I'll be a murderer in less
than ten minutes"
The grocer tried to detaln HIM, but he broke
away and rushed around the corner. Not
hearing anything further Of him for half an
hour the grocer began to investigate and he
discovered that fourteen rolls of butter, a crock
of lard, two hams and other stuff had left
the back end of the store by way of the
window at which the watchful husband was
stationed.-DetrOH Free Press

chew; but if you want to see corn as is corn
you just orter go to Fort Bend. When was
farming on the Brazos In that county, my corn
grew SO tall and thick, that had to hang
lamps on the mules ears to see to plough a
furrow. 1t was corn and no mistake; and in

the ears down with sassafras pole. Darn my

thing IN reach. Says he, walkin' up to the
wood-plle whar the niggers were at work:
Pile on yer timber, yer ornery skunks, and let
me show yer how to carry wood and he
stretched out his arms. Well, sir, the niggers
piled on wood, an kept pilin' on until Jud-
kins had a cord and ahalf of firewood on his
shoulders, and he turned and carried 1t on the
boat just as easy as if it was bokay. He
was what would call purity tolerable stout
