The Champion Liar.

The most abled-bodied liar On this
continent is now on the staff of the San
Francisco Chronicle, and that paper is
Justly proud of his brilliant mendacity.
Gifted as others have been in this line,
the Frisco man discounts them all and
gives them as many points as they wish
at the beginning of the game. His gen.
ius in this respect is probably the result
of the GLORIOUS climate of California"
ably seconded by that training which
only Chicago or San Francisco can give.
His most imposing and massive false
hoods are always in the medical line. A
while ago he gave an accout of a physi-
clan who removed a condemned criminals
brain, piece by piece. The top of the
unfortunate culprit's head would lift off
like a lid, so that any inquisitive person
could gaze at the empty shell. To do
the doctor Justice it must be admitted
that he kept the scooped-out head filled
with cotton, SO that the brainless man
could not catch cold. No doubt Califor-
mia is so accustomed to see men without
brains that this story passed current
there. This man, we presume, is now
an estimable citizen of San Francisco,
going around with a lump of cotton in
stead of brains. Again, this chronicler
wrote of a physician who fixed up a bath
that would freeze solid in an instant, by
touching an electric knob. By mistake
the physician got into the bath, some
one touched the knob, and in a moment
the doctor was ready to be loaded on an
ice WAGON. The latest yarn appeared
last week. Barney MCGEE, probably a
descendant of the Bouncing Barney
| McGee' celebrated in an old Irish song,
drove a street car till he got a disease
that softened all his bones. Barney was
about to collapse when Dr.. Bishop took
him in hand and ossified MI. MCGEE on
the outside. He procured bone material
at the stock yards and covered Barney
with a shell-in fact, made a human oys-
ter of him. Barney has nc bones inside,
but his outside shell prevents collapse
and although he is a little stiff in his
manner he gets along all right.-Detroit

An EnisconaIian Horse.

The Rev. DR.. Broadus, an old Baptist
parson famous in Virginia, once visited
a plantation where the darby who met
him at the gate asked him which barn
he would have his horse put In.
"Have you two barnsa" asked the
doctor.
eyes, sah," replied the darky;
"dar's de ole barn, and Mas'r Wales has
jes build a new one."
"Where do you usually put the
horses of clergymen who come to see
your. master? 2"
"Well, sab, if dey's Methodis's or
Baptis's, we gen'ally put 'em in de ole
barn, but if dey's Piscopals we puts
'em in de new one."
"Well, Bob, you can put my horse in
the new barn /; I'm a Baptist, but my
horse is an Episcopalian."

One of Mr.. MOOdy's Stories.

A man came into one of our meetings
in the East, called me aside, and said /:
81 want to be a Christian, but I am a
defaulter. I have taken 81, 500 from my
employers, and I have less than $1,000.
What shall I do? Hadn't I better take
what I have and go into business, and
try to make enough topay what I owe"
"No, sir" I said; "you haven't any
more right to that money than if you
had taken it out of my pocket. Go and
return all you have, even if you leave
your family penniless. The Lord will
not receive you while you have stolen
money in your hands," The man came
night after night, but found no peace
until he brought all the money he had
($9SO) and gave it to me to give to his
employers. I took it to them. They
forgave him. They helped him, and he
soon found peace in Jesus"

At Neelyville, Missouri, on the train bouni
south, a gentleman named Jones and a lady
wi it is reported were clipping, were overtak \
by the enraged husband and shot. One bali
took effect in the hand of the woman, and an
other in the right side of the gentleman. Both
wounds are severe, but the recipients are still
alive. The parties were from Pennsylvania
and en- route for Hot Springs, Arkansas. The
husband jumped the train. and has not as yet
been found. It is quite a mystery how he ac-
companied them SO far without being noticed.
The wounded parties are at Corning, Ark.

A POsthumOus Joke.

In the London probate registry is a
will dated 1871, by which the testator
left $50 a year to be spent on whisky to
be given to a number Of Irish people,
not exceeding twenty, who may visit the
cemetery on the anniversary of his death;
stick, and the whisky is to be distributed
in half-pint doses. The object is thus
explained by the testator: "Knowing
what I know of the Irish character, my
conviction is that with these materials
given they will not fail to destroy each
other, and when, in course of time, the
race comes to be exterminated, this
neighborhood, at least, may perhaps be
colonized by civil and respectable men"

A Compromise.

A man was once asked how he and his
wife got along with SO little friction in
the family machinery. well" said he,
"when we first married we both wanted
our W way. 1 wanted to sleep on
linen sheets, my wife preferred cotton,
and we couldn't agree. Finally we
talked the matter over, and came to the
conclusion that it was unchristian to live
in constant pickering; SO we compro-
missed on linen, and have got along all
right ever since"

Cremation again is a subject of gen.
