VANDERBILT SAYS HE NEVER SAID 1T.

New YORK, Oct. 18.-The Tribune
prints an interview with Vanderbilt, in
which he says: ''You ask me about that
expression, the public be damned, which
has been put in my mouth. You say that
it has become famous. | never used it,
and that is all there is about it. There
seems to have been malignant wish to
msrepresent me. The .nings that l really
said were left out, and | was made to say
others that | never said at all. Supposing
that expression that I am reported to have
made revealed my real sentiments, do
people suppose that l would publish such
an opinion. That is not my way, and it
was not my fathers, and neither he nor [
ever used Il" and my" in the way that l
am supposed to have done.

The Richest NsVsbov.

Without doubt the richest newsbov in
the country is Mike Mykens, of Denver.
Col. He is supposed to be worth at
least $4,000. which he has invested in
Denver real estate. He is not vet ready,
however, to retire from business, but
from early morning until midnight may
be seen upon the streets CRYING Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, St. Louis and Kansas City
morning papers" In connection with
his paper stand he has a bootblack 5
chair, which he generally leaves in
charge of an assistant. He sells his pa
pers at uniform price of 10 cents each,
and long experience has made him very
expert in detecting at a glance from
what part of the country any one of the
strangers who throng the streets of Dem
yer halls. Run after that old man
with a white choker and sell him a Bos-
ton Herald - he win say to his assistant;
or, ''work off San Francisco Bulletin
on that slippery-looking euss under the
awning" Mykens is no longer a boy,
but he is likely to remain newsboy for
years to come.

Birds That Observed the Sabbath.

A correspondent of the Selma (Ala) J
Times has come to the conclusion chat
one pair of birds at least observed the
Sabbath day and kept it holy. He says:
"a pair of mocking birds were very
busy building a nest on the swinging
bough of an oak tree that grows very
near my room window. st dusk Satur-
day the nest was about finished Yes
terday (Sunday) | sat by the window
reading most of the day, and could
plainly see the nest and its builders
During the whole day not one stroke of
work did they do on it, They hoppea
and flew about, chirped and sang, but
no work for them. They were keeping
the Sabbath. This morning (Monday)
bright and early, looked out and then
they were flying to and fro, carving
straws. sticks. and bits of cotton, as
busy as beess Strange, wasn't it?7

Simply a Common Liar.


S"Old B." says, that some years ago,
in a Carolina town, q crazy man was
brought before the examining board to

he should be sent to the asylum in Col

with his examination. one OF the COM

Tie Dandelion

Those who have been pestered to
death by the irrepressible daudehon on
their lawns may now take heart. The
pest viii poster them no more. Easter
markets have begun to utilize them fo
greens, Sc. that gardeners cultivate then
for sale. The plant having thus be-
come useful. the bugs will eat it of
above ground, the grub win saw its
roots IN two, the sun win parch it to
death, the rains will drown il ont, the
rain viii thrash it to strips. and the boys
will dig it out and steal it. Thus the
daudelion which has been among the
first of the weeds to coax its way into
favor in the spring by throwing out its
golden blossom as u sort of flag of truce
and peace offering combined, will retire
from the field and the lawn to the se>
clusion OF the guarded greenhouse.

That was funny mistake made by
she London Daily Telegraph in its ref
erence to the Convention of Dunkards
held at Arnold, Ind, month ago, and
which was attended by 10000 represen-
tatives of the various Bunker churches
In all parts ofthe Union. The telegraph
misread the cable dispatch and pub
lished long editorial abusing the bad
taste of Americans in calling a conven-
tlon OF 10000 d9,at7akGrdS, and asking in
grave irony what was the precise degree
OF whlskytaction that qualified one for
ADMISSION to the body. The writer of
the article took the view that the only
possible expla@ation for such Il gather
ing was that some superzealous body of
temperance men had called the conven-
ton to show the evil effects of drinking.
TO the same purpose that the Greeks
used to hold up drunken Helots as
warnings to their sons.

THE POSTAL SERVICE,

An exceedingly gratifying exhibit is that
made by the Postoilice Department for the
fiscal year-and it is not only gratifying but
unprecedented. The telegraph has already
given our readers the figures in detail, and at
this time it need only be said in relation to
them that they justify an estimate of about
one million dollars net revenue for the year.
Until recently, and in the days when the
postal department always showed large
deficit, il was maintained that it was not eX-
pcc,cd to be paving institution and that in
view of the great public accommodation the
service has always been, the people ought to
be content to make up the deficit by taxation.
| This theory iAs strong argument to back
| it, but nevertheless no argument can quite
reconcile taxpayer to an enormous yearly
deficit in one of the departments of the Gov
eminent, and the figures just referred to will
give universal satisfaction. There is, in this
very gratifying exhibit, another view to be
taken besides the financial one. 1t marks,
most distinctly, the progress of Intelligence
aud the increase of business strengthens
ing of the ties of friendship and the growth
of trade-two things which go further thar
anything else (religion cxcerted) to make
great and happy people
