A Shrewd Rascal.

A certain Hungarian countess, we'll
known for her riches and beauty (the
same spirited lady who last year
seconded her borther in dueD, graces
with her presence the performance at
the Arasa, or summer theatre. On
one of her fair fingers my lady
wore two SPLENDID diamond rings
exactly like each other. During
an intermission there presented
himself in her box q big fellow in gorg-
eous livery, six feet Of the finest funkey
imaginable. Quoth he, in the finest
Hungarian, "My mistress, Princess P
has sent me to beg of your ladyshir
the loan of one of your rings for five
minuets. Her bighness has observed
them from her box opposite, and is
very anxious to examine one more
closely, as she wishes to have one made
after the pattern" Without an instant's
hesitation, the countess handed ring
to "Jeamee," who bowed with respect
full dignity and retired, The perfor-
nance over, the two great ladies met
on the staircase, and the countess beg
ged her friend to keep the ring at her
own convenience. "What ring, my
dear?" Denouementl Tableau! The
powdered menial" was no funkey at
all, but thief, and the ring was gone.
The police were informed of the i'm
pudent trick. Justice seemed to have
over taken the culprit in very few
strides, for next morning the countess,
while still en- rode. de. chdmbre, received
a letter informing her that the thief had
been caught and the ring found on his
person. "Only," added the more, "the
man stoutly denies the charge
and declares the ring to be his
own. To clear up all doubts, pray
come at once to the police station or
send the duplicate ring by bearer" To
draw the second ring form the finger
and intrust it joyfully to the messenger,
a fine fellow in full police uniform, to-
gether with a handsome "tip" for the
glorious news, was the work of a
moment. Only when my lady an
hour later betook herself radiant to
the police station to recover her jewels,
slight mistake came to light. "weI
my rings? could not come myself
the instant I got your letter." "what
letter, madame ?" Denouement Tab

How to take care of Harness.

A harness that has been on horses
back several hours, in hot or rainy
weather, becomes wet; if not properly
cleaned the damage to the leather is
irreparable. 1t, after being taken from
the horse in this condition, it is hung
up in careless manner, traces and
reins twisted into knots and the saddle
and bride hung askew, the leather
when dried retains the shape given
when wet, and when forced into it's
original form damage is done to the
stitching and the leather. The first
point to be observed is to keep the
leather soft and pliable. This can be
done only by keeping it we'll charged
with oil and grease. Water is de-
stroyer of these, but mud and the
saline moisture from the animal are
even more destructive. Mud, in dry
ing, absorbs the the grease and opens
the pores of the leather, making it q
prey to water, while the salty character
of the perspiration from the animal in
jures the leather stitchings and mount
ings. 1t therefore follows that to
preserve harness the straps should be
washed and oiled whenever it has been
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud.
If harness is thoroughly cleansed
twice year and when unduly exposed
treated as we have recommended the
leather will retain it's softness and
strength for many year.-Boston Jour
nal Of Chemistry.

ITEMS OF INTEREST,

The depth reached in the artesian
we'll a. Duaham, North Carolina, is
1880 feet.
Coos, the name of county in New
Hampshire, means, in the language of
st. Francis Indians, The Pines.
Thirty murderers are in iail in Phila-
delphia. That is nothing. New York
was three times that number.
W. F. Cody, known to fame as "Buf-
falo Bill" was shot at three times by
crank at Council Bluffs, Iowa. One of
the bullets grazed his cheek, and was
fattened considerably.
The authorities OF the Ohio Stat Q
University have great difficulty in keep
ing the sexes apart, aud have issued
stringent prohibitory orders. A re-
bellion is threatened.
New York fears water famine. The
Sun says: "Unless copious rains fall
in Westchester and Putnam counties
between now and the 1st of November,
this city will find itself entirely desti-
tute of Croton water"
A girl at Anderson, Kentucky, having
no money to trim her Sunday bonnet
with bright colored feathers, killed a
neighbours brilliant -hued rooster, and
adorned her hat to her liking. But the
owner of the fowl had her arrested, and
she wore the hat in court instead of
huroh, as she intended.
1t is given to some to work on objects
that are great and striking, and to
others to fashion those which are
smaller and less conspicuous. But in
the eye of the Master he who works on
the little is as worthy as he who devotes
himself to the large. Fidelity is the
test of his devotion.

Limits to Relief.

There are limits to human belief.
You may believe what the candidate
says in convention you may believe
what Vennor says about the weather |;
you may believe what the old settler
says about the winter of 1852, or the
summer of 1858 you may believe what
a man tells you in horse tlade; you
may believe what man says who was
at the Centennial ; you may believe the
army liar, and you may believe the
snake liar but when a man takes his
cigar from his lips, and with guileless,
simple prefix of a place and date,
starts in on trout story, bar and bolt
and lock and double lock the gates of
your belief when he gets to the place.
Don't believe single solitary trout, not
though it weighs less than a pound.
Under the shadow of the trout dies, and
the man who fishes four days and only
hooks, one lone trout, so small that he
loses it in his empty basket, comes
home the biggest liar of them ALL

The Emigrant's Baby.

There was a single group of emigrants
gathered in the long dreary passage
which leads down to the river at the
Central depot, and as the passengers
waiting for the midnight train strayed
that way they observed stolid pathetic
look on each face, that told of some
greater sorrow than the loneliness of
a strange land. There was the aged
grandmother. the father and mother and
family of half-grown children-little
men and women-who moved and talked
and looked like their elders. But they
were all silent, and sat motionless on
the hard benches on which their rude
luggage was piled. Between the father
and mother was rough bed extern
porized from shawls and comforters and
coarse cloth coat, and on that bed the
youngest of the family was sleeping,
but there was that in the aspect of the
group that denoted such deep sorrow
that one of the passengers approached
and asked:
'Is the child sick?"
The Morse people shook their heads
it was an unknown tongue to them.
But one of the boys had picked up a
few English words, and he answered
without moving muscle of his face /:
"Yesh-shleeps."
An hour later an official stopped and
looked at the group. Then he turned
down with no ungentle hand the cover
lid from what he believed to be the
sleeping child.
"Why," he exclaimed, starting back,
''this child is dead"
"Yesh," said the boy who could speak
English, "schleep-dead."
And these people had sat by their
dead for nearly eight long hours raeked
with anxiety as to what they should do,
distracted with grief, yet unable to
express a word of their trouble to
the many sympathizing hearts within
reach.
They left the little yellow-haired
girl-baby, consigned to foreign grave,
and went on their way, but though they
shed no tears there was that in their
blue eyes that told of deep wound,
and doubtless in their new home they
will miss the quaint little figure in it's
blue woolen dress and round white cap
and tiny wooden shoes-the little
Morse baby that lies alone under the
shade trees of Mount Elliot.-Dehoi

What the M0rmOns Believe.

What is it the Mormans actually be-
lieve? It may be briefly condensed as
follows: When the confusion of the
tongues occurred at the building of the
Tower of Babel certain clan of the
builders emigrated to the American con-
tinent. How they crossed the Atlantic
is not stated. They gradually peopled
the new continent numerously, became
exceedingly sinful and had great civil
war compared to which the "late un-
pleasantness was mere unpleasant
ness indeed. In one battle 1000, 900 of
combatants are said to have been slain.
The inference is that very few ex-
Babelities were left after the fighting
ended. During the reign Of King Zede-
kiah tribe of Hebrews came over, and
for the second time the continent was
settled, vast nations sprang into being,
became grand and powerful, and fought
in gigantic wars. At length q terrible
cataclysm occurred. Tornadoes of un-
precedented violence and fearful earth
quakes made wreck of mighty cities and
ravaged the whole land. Entire ranges
of mountains were uprooted. Soon
thereafter Christ made His appearance
on this continent, and to the survivors
of Natures convulsions He revealed His
divine truths. Under more favorable
auspices the peopling of the continent
was resumed. For considerable period
virtue reigned and population multi
piled, but the nations grew rich and
naughty and again tremendous wars
broke out. Two immense armies were
marshalled in line of battle one evening
at point near the present city of Pal
myra, N. Y. One army consisted of the
Nephites and the other of the Lam
antics 1.-THE latter now being known as
the North American Indians). Fearful
of the result of the pending struggle
Mormon and his son Moroni that night
buried in the hill Cumorah certain
sacred tablets having engraved upon
them the records and history of the
Nephite race. On the following day
the rival armies met, quarter of a
million men were slain and the LAM
antics remained masters of North
America. All this occurred in the
neighborhood of 1,5O0 years ago. When
the prophet, Joseph Smith was quite
young man an angel directed him where
to find these tablets, and, with divine
assistance, he translated them and the
result was the book of Mormon. In
addition to the work there are doc
trines, mysteries and revelations"
without end, constituting in the aggre-
gate that strange tumble of religious
ideas known to the world as Mormon
ism. When Joseph Smith grew to man.
hood and had collected large follow
ing he engrafted upon the new religion
the system of polygomy, claiming to
have had "revelation commanding
him to do so. Not, however, until
Utah became the home of the Latter
Day Saints las they call themselves)
was polygamy openly and defiantly
preached and practiced. San Francisco
chronicle.
