DIDN'T ACCEPT. A minister was called to very respectable church in large town in New York State. He declined, and eight others in turn were called, all of whom in their turn follow ed his example. Investigation proved that the inquiries of these gentlemen had elicited the friendly warning:- "Don't accept; they have had four ministers in seven years; they are always in trouble, and no sooner get a minister fairly settled than they begin movement to get rid of him, in which they are successful"

THE LIME KILN CLUB.
Brother Gardner Discourses on Kind.
 ness-A New Song.

"I blieve one great cause of disap- pointment an unhappiness in dis world am de fack dat we expect too much of our fellow-men, began the old man, as he looked down upon the meeting. "We expect our nex' doah naybur to be full O kindness, when he may have use to be full O bitterness. If we want @ favor of anybody, we neber stop to ask if we have eber granted dem one, or if it will put dem out to grant our req uest. If we feel good ober bit O luck, we look for all men to feel good wid us, nebber dreamin' dat our good luck may be some one else's loss. l tell you, dar am a heap O sorrow an this world O ours, an he who has little or none of it am apt to forgit what burdens odder people have to bar. Let none of us sot out wid de idea dat we shall fin everybody willin' to make cl'ar road fur us. Onless you have granted favors, you have no business to ax 'em. Onless you have sacrificed you have no right to expect sacrifices from friends. If you haven't sympa- thized wid odders when deir sunshine has departed doan look fur sympathy when your own sky am overcast.
 "De odder day heard Uncle Bolly Williams say dat dis was cold, un- sympathizin' an selfish world. I put few queshuns to him an foun' dat he had made no effort to git acquainted wid his nayburs. He had nebber put hisseH out to do anyone else favor. When his nay bur's child lay dead in de house Uncle Bolly went off to his work jist de same. I could not fin dat de world was SO beholden to hia fur de least self-sacrifice, an yit he was bit terly complainin' agin de way de world used him. It is jist de same in nine cases out of ten. De folkses who do de least to make de world pleasant am lookin' fur de moas' sunshine. Do un- to others as you wish to be done by, an life will be one long, glad day wid you an yours."
 GOT THE BULGE ON HIM.
 The old man had turned to the Sec retary's desk to see about petitions when the Glee Club suddenly broke in with:
 Yes, we am passin' down de lane, An haltin by de way, Jist long huff to rest our limbs An fur de chil'en pray; Las Sunday preacher Gordon said: "De march will soon be OCT, An all de ole folks safely cross Upon dat shinin' shore."
 Ohorus-But ole folks am jolly folks, | An while we wait to go Let's gin de fiddle lots O work l An rush de old banjo.
 Dar's Uncle Dan'l, he am lame, An Peter White am bald, An Dinah Rock an ole Aunt Chlo' Am waitin' to be called An Trustee Pullback says to me; De summons soon must come Fur you an me an us ole folks To tote our baggage home. Chorus
 Dar's Pickles Smith an Daddy l'oots A-nearin' to dar eand, An Deacon Spooner an his wife Am crutchin round de bend Ave! us ole folks am hangin' on, An kinder waitin' round, To let de chill'en grow bit Fo' we go under ground. 1 Chorus- -Det,'oH Free Press.

THE NEW ORLEANS MINT.

The mint OF this city has, under its
present able management, become a
most important factor in the business
operations not only Of this city and
State but of the entire section. During
the past fiscal year it distributed-in
round numbcrs-G, 100000 standard
silver dollars among the planters, the
manufacturers and the Iumbermen and
saW-nill owners of the South. Hun
dredS of thousands of the new pieces
have also penetrated into tho interior
of our sister republic, and have become
popular with the merchants of that
country. Until the later part of the
year 1880 tho entire frontier along the
Rio Grande was flooded with smooth
and mutilatcd silver Mexican coin.
Notwithstanding the great discount
to which it was subjected, it was almost
the only circulating medium in q zone
of American territory fifty miles wide
by 400 long. The standard silver dollar
has, since its introduction along this
river frontier, driven the smooth cur
rency out of circulation. A large
quantity of it has been sent to our mint
for rccoinage, while the rest-or rather
q great portion of the remainder-has
been carried away to tho wild region
Iuc uIStituC tfOnllCrS
chihuahua and Sonora.
SO popular has the new coin become
with the negro field hands of our
numerous plantations; with the sailors
on our river and coasting vessels, and
with the lumber men and wood-saw-
ycrs of the Lake Charles and Eastern
Texas lumber district, that tho States
of Louisiana and Texas, during tho
last fiscal year, used over 81, ,OOO, 600.
Indeed, il is portable that this sec
tion will, during tho present winter
months, require more of this coinage
than the mint can furnish.
The populariZation OF the standard
silver dollar in this section is mainly
due to tho indefatigable efforts of the
present superintendent to introduce il
among our planters. Until he assumed
the duties of his important Office the
new dollar was very unpopular, and
as fast AS it was distributed found it,
way back again into the b-treasury
Now, on the contrary, owing to his
endeavora to facilitate the planters, by
wrapping the coin in $40 and $2(
packages, with other methods he de
viaed to ohiige the business community
in general, the standard silver dolla,
has become an institution in the
South.-N. q. Democrat.

earn their money every time, l can
assure you.''
"That suggests the question of

assure you.''
"That suggests the question of
pay.''
"Well, tho pay runs all the way
from Sl5 and $40 a week to $500 \
4 year. The man that goes on 4 dan-
gcrous mission doesn't necessarily get
higher wages. In fact, he does not get
them. He works for so much, and
does what no is ordered to do. But
at the same time man is not asked to
do 4 dangerous piece of work against
his will. If he hcsitates he need no go.
To succeed, man must go willingly.
OF course the fact that 4 man succeeds
in dangerous piece of work is often
the means of an increase of salary.
Why, it's like any other business,
exactly. Each man has his value.
1t won't do to work for reward.
Human nature is human nature. and
when a man sees a big pile Of money
coming as the result Of fixing a crime
OH some maxwell, it's often dansersus
for that man, guilty or Innocent. The
work should be done for so much. what.
ever the result.''
"What is tho average life of a detcc-
tive"
"Well, Idon't know as to that. /
think, though, they stick to tho work
an average, say fifteen years. Then
they get tired of travelling, aud want
to settle down. They get situations in
banks, hotels and other Institutions -
"Are female detectives much en-
ployed or depended upon:'
"1t is difficult to get q respectable
woman to do detective work. Thero
are lots Of them that claim to be de-
tectives, but they must be employed
with caution. They are occasionally
useful to work up 4 case against a
woman. In sucl, cases We employ q
female relative of some one Of our
men-a woman who knows what de-
tective work is, and who is respectable.
in employing women.'
"Do detectives marry?"
"Sometimes. But man with a
family cannot in the nature of the case
be as good q detective, rs daring, as
ready to 60 anywhere ut a moments
notice as an unmarried man. But of
course q good many Of them marry"
"Arc disguises much used:''
ssNot nearly as often as the student
OF Gaboriau would imagine. It's all
nonsense, this talking OF a mans so
himself by false whiskers, a
wig and paint, that he can pass nn-
recognized in daylight. He might not
be recognized, but he would surely be
detected. The police will pounce on a
man at once if they see him wear a
false beard-much easier than wig,
and they are easily detected. The
shadows usually carry soft cap or hat,
or both, in their pockets to uso in case
of necessity; and sometimes in the
night beard can be used, but not
often. If the criminal has 1iropped
on shadow, tho best plan is to put
another man on him. AS l said in tho
start, there's very little romance or
mystery about q detectives life."
