G.. w. Jones, the grease soap man,
whose charming eioquence, damaged
jokes and kerosene torch, have held
audiences ON the street for several
evenings back, was in deep tribulation
yesterday. His copartner in the soap
business had suddenly girded up his
loins, packed off the original soapman's
stock in trade. a shirt or two. several
pairs Of socks, and divers other arti-
Giles belonging to the said Jones. The
said Jones did not learn his loss until
yesterday morning when the sun was
several hours high and the freight train
was several miles from Cheyenne going
to Laramie.
Conyer is the name of the faithless
partner, and the head of the late con-
Germ is in a qrandary what to do about
the matter, as the amount stolen foots
up to only a small sum, which is heavy
enough to swamp the business for the
time being. At last accounts the orig
inal soap mar was endeavoriug to bor-
row a dollar to start anew in business.

An EDUCATED OYSTER.

In these days Of sham wonders
and bogus miracles it is refreshing
to come across some genuine and
undeniable marvel, violet-like wal
ting for recognition by the wayside.
At the Bay State Oyster Saloon, on
Stockton street, San Francisco, any
one who desires can inspect veri.
table curiosity without any side
show eXertiOn whatever. This is no
less than an educated oyster, which
has reached already a high water
mark of bivalvular erldition. When
spoken to by the afiable "opener' of
the establishment, the oyster slowly
rocks his way across the counter to
be fed, and opens and snaps its
shells in time with any air that may
be whistled. 1t also counts as high
as ten, and snaps its shell in accor-
dance with the number of fingers
held up in front Of it by its master,
thus proving that oysters have sight
or some sense closely akin to that
faculty.-San Francisco Post.

AN OLD MlNSTREL'S REQUEST.

Harverly's mastodon ministries
were playing in London, and were
softly singing one night to a crowded
house the chorus in "Old Kentucky
Home" When the last notes melted
away, strange looking figure
advanced few steps from his seat in
a dark corner Of the pit, and the au-
ditors We're started at hearing voice
say earnestly and distinctly; Sing
the dear old song again-sing it for
me, Pm listening hard, and | am
listening low, boys. and every word is
a friend to me, home to me-every-
thing. Say, will you sing it just once
more for me, right now and here?"
1t was the figure and voice of Ben.
Leland, an old minstrel, who left this
country several years ago, and play
ing in Australia made his way, a bro
ken down old man, to London. Here
he supported himself by playing the
banjo, but generally eked out a miser-
able existence. The mastodons sang
the chorus again, and the figure sank
back into its seat. When the au-
dience dispersed it remained notion
less, and when an attendant came to
arouse it he found Ben Leland dead.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAM STo AN
0FFlCE-SEEkER.

The President replied that he had
made up his mind that the only safe
rule for him to follow was to remove
nobody without cause during the
term of Office fixed by law. II he de-
parted from this rule in one case. he
would have to in another. There was
no place to draw the line except in
front of it. He did net think, how
ever, that he was under any obliga-
tivn to reappoint otfice-holders at the
expiration of their terms Wherever
the law had fixed definite term it
was fair to conclude that the intent
is to terminate the claim of the in
cumbent on the place at the end of
that period, and leave the appointing
power entirely free to select Il new
man. The President went on to say
in substance that he believed it to be
in the interest of harmony in the
Republican party, as we'll as of the
good of the public service, to observe
strictly the letter and spirit of the
law. When tie term of the Post
masterswas al out to expire he should
be'glad to confer with the Congress
man as to proper man to succeed
him, but it was useless to urge his re-
moval. Washington Correspondence

A WISE HORSE.

The horse lives in Wilmington,
Delaware, and the Star of that city
tells this story of brute intelligence:
A few Sundays ago he was running
loose on the streets and passed in
the neighborhood Of a certain drug
store, where the proprietor noticed
that lie had a severe sore on his
back, and several less serious erup-
tiOns on one of his shoulders where
upon he put a suitable plaster on
each of the wounds. The animal
then went off and he saw no more
of him until the next Sunday, when
he again went to the door of the
establishment, where he remained
until his wounds were again dressed
and since then he has regularly ap-
pealed every Sunday at the door of
the drug store to have plasters put
upon his back and shoulders. and
the proprletors kindly accOmmoda
ted him. 1t is supposed that his
owner keeps him busy all the week
and turns him loose on Sundays.

LEADING-STRIhGS FALLACY.

cember: From the moment child

that all his instincts are wrong that
nature must be thwarted aud coun-

that prevents him from moving aany
limb of his body. His first attempts
at locomotiOn are checked !; he is put
in leading-strings and carefully
guarded from the outdoor world, from
the air that would invigorate his
lungs, from the sports that would
develop his muscles. Hence, the
peevishness, awkardness and sickness
OF our young aristocrats. Poor peo-
pie have no time to initiate the alb
surdities of their wealthy neighbors,
and their children profit by what the
lrodel nurse would undoubtedly call
neglect. Indian babies are still oct
ter off. They are fed on bull-beef,
and kicked around like young dogs !;
but they are not swaddlel, they are
not Graded, and not dosed with par
agoric they are not Graded; they
crawl around naked, and soon learn
to keep out of the way ; they are
happy, Ike never cry. If we would
treat our youngsters in the same way,
only substituting kisses and bread
for kicks and beef, they would be as
happy as kids in clover field, and
moreover, they would ever afterward
be harder and stronger Every week
