MAN RUSHING WILDLY THROUGH TIE
STREETS OF NEW YORK.

New York, March 21.-It was repor
ted at police headquarters, to-day, that a
naked man, who had smallpox, was rush
ing about the streets, on the west side,
creating veritable panic. lie was at
length captured and taken to the Twenty
ninth precinct station house,to which DR..
Smith, of the sanitary staff proceeded
with Il small poX wagon. Upon his re
turn he said that the man, whose name
is Walter Mahand, was in the delirious
stage of the disease and would probably
die. He was removed to the Riverside
hospital. Mahand, who is young,
strouglimbed negro, was in bed in his
home in West Twenty#eventh street,
and being asleep, he had been left alone
by the friends who were nursing him.
In their absence he awoke delirous, tore
his shirt from his body, and made his
way into the street without particle of
clothing to cover his nakedness. The
excitement was intense. He turned into
Sixth avenue on his way up town, and
entering Broadway rushed up that
thoroughfare, followed by a crowd of
men and women yelling "small pox. "
He was at length captured by sheet be
ing thrown over him and holding him in
it firmly.

The promised statement from Treas
urer Sweppenheiser does not appear this
week for the reason that it has not been
handed to us, but we are informed that
he has been sick, and presume that is the
cause of his not fulfilling his promise.
Whatever his explanation may be when
it comes, it is very certain that there is
but one thing for him to do, and that is
TO pay back to the county the $l06 that
he received for tax deeds to the Com
missioners in excess Of what the law al
lows, and also the five per cent commiss-
ion that he received on the same, making
{ he amount to be refunded $ll1.30.

The Indiana legislature has passed an

it would be still better if there was means
of ascertaining in the matter of getting

BOXWOOd.

Bona Gdc Caucasian lockwood may
bcsaid to be commercially non-existed,
almost every marketable tree having
been exported. Such exorbitant terms
are demanded by the government for
lhc right Of cutting in the one or two
remaining Abkhasian lockwood forests
as virtually to bar their acquisition.
The value Of these forests has been
considerably exaggerated, most of the
tree, being either hollow or knotted
from age, and much of the best wood
having been fcllcd and sold by the Alb
khasians previous to Russian occupa-
ton. The lockwood ut present export
ed from Boston, and supposed to be
Caucasian, comes from the Persian
provinces of Mazanderan and Ghilan
on the Caspian sea.

In the seventeenth century ali UNI
brclla generally measured about four
feet in height and nearly four yards in
circumference 1t weighed at least four
pounds, and cost a sum varying from
two pounds to three pounds, and even
more. 1t was then made Of leather,
oiled silk, or glazed paper, and consti-
tuted an important article of property,
handed down as Il family heirloom
from generation to generation. 1t was
in 1880 that the Paris manufacturers
began to reduce it, size, and to make it
of lighter and less expensive materials.
Its color had then by no means become
restricted to the hues now in fashion,
and the good people of the revolution
airy times, as well rs under the Direc-
tory, were free to indulge according to
their fancy, in such colors as yellow,
rose, blue, and even apple-green.

The Stupid Man.

They were complimenting Francois
Arajo once upon a scientific lecture
which he had delivered, but the remark
was made that he had elaborated his
explanations almost to proliXity.
"Oh, yes, know" replied Arajo,
but that isn't surprising. You see
when | am lecturing | always make a
point of selecting the stupidest looking
man in the audience and lecturing at
him, explaining and re-explaining till
] see that he understands me. Now
to-day the man Ifectured at was the
,tup--
Enter gentleman, who rushes up to
the astronomer and shakes his hand
warmly.

dcr~tand. You saw how interested !
wus, hope, because noticed you were
looking over in my direction from first

State receives for taxes of one cent

ceivcs an orange colored coupon, good
for two cents; if five drinks, a blue

To mark the figures that come and 60

Here the publican walks with the sinner proud
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks in the motley crowd
With Lazarus, cheek by jowl,
And the daughter OF toll, with her fresh young heart
As pure as her spotlcss fame,
Keeps step with tho weman who makes mart
In the haunts Of sin and shame,
How lightly trips the country las
In the midst Of the eity's ills
As freshly pure the daised glass
That grows on her native hills.
And the beggar, too, with his hungry eye
And his lean, wan face and erutch,
Gives blessing the same TO the Passer-by,
And he gives him little or much.
When time has beaten the world. tattoo,

And shall sing to slumbers sweet,
While many will 60 TO a Sleoples' bed

This world OF ours we'd call,

Was felt by each for all.
Yet few short years and tins motley throns
Will all have passed away,
And the rich and the old and the young

And men will be wicked and women will sin

THE NEW HAND.

Hes a little awk'ard at some things,
but willin'," said Farmer Bryson, as he
and his worthy mate sat in family coun-
ell on the days events, according to
their wont.
The topic was George Dyer, the new
hand Mr.. Bryson had hired that day
with something less than his usual cir
cumspection; for ii was not his custom
to employ chance corners, of whom nc
knew nothing, without reference. But
it was the throng of the season, and Ia
borers were scarce, and the young man
had an open, honest countenance, Il
supple, well-knit frame, and didn't look
a bit lazy. So the farmer took him on
trial.
Il don't think he's ever done farm
work afore," continued Mr.. Bryson;
his hands don't look like it. But he's
amazin' quick at takin' up things. He
don't need more'n n wink to take 4
hint"
"And he's downright good lookin',"
added Dame Bryson, stopping to take
up a stitch she had dropped in her knit
ting
THE first virtue in woman's eyes,
Of course, retorted the farmer, with a
bantering chuckle. But there's more
to him than good looks, / can tell you.
He's got head full Of sense. You
know what a knowledgable chap Hiram
Gooch sets up to be. Well, he came
along at Resin time to-day, and tack
led the new hand on the labor questi'n.
Dyer fought shy at first, but when Hi

that Unlocking tramp that had his sup

An anxious look came over the farm
er's face, and, donning his hat and tax

and it was almost dark when Nora Bry.
