Paid a Bill.

A Detroit lawyer took in new boy
the other day, and as he had suffered to
some extent from the depredations of
the former one. he decided to try the
new lads honesty at once. He there
fore placed $15 in bills under a weight
on rs desk and walked out without q
WORD. Upon his return, half an hour
later, the bills were gone and seventy
five cents in silver had taken their
place.
'Boy! when l stepped out to get
draft on London / left S15 under this
weight
Yes, sir"
''And now find only seventy-fve
centsr'
Eyes, sir, but you see you hadn't
been gone five minutes when man
came in with bill against you of $14.-
25, and paid it. / guess the changeis
correct"
"You-you paid bill?'
"Yes, sir-there it is, all receipted.

screws in has held the stomach of a man
in its grasp and has made sore spots on
him, when all should be sunshine and so
forth. 1t is said that women share our
joys and our sorrows. That may be so to
certain extent, and they may suffer some,
but they don't know anything about the
horror of the spiral shirt stud Many men
go down to their grave and never complain,
who have had their lives made miserable
by spiral shirt studs. No man can be
cheerful, full of fun and frivolity, and keep
company in a roar of laughter, when he
is constantly reminded that three golden
his body from three different places that
three different shows are getting in their
work under one canvas at one price of
admission. 1t is asking too much TO ex
pect man to be entertaining when three
artesian wells are being sunk in his person
at'once. Women do not mean to be cruel.
and to cause unnecessary pains to man,
but if they knew how they send the qIliv-
ering arrows to his very soul, in three
places they would be careful how they
throw their heads on mems shirt bosoms,
and root around to find an easy place to
lay. No doubt many of our readers have
noticed that men shrink from them when
they lay their little darling heads on his
breast. anu nave LnOugnG Gne man was
shocked at their actions. 1t is not that
It is the spiral shirt stud. OF course man
will stand good deal, and not complain,
under such circumstances, but if the wo-
man in the case, or on the shirt bosom
rather, win look up into his fond eyes she
will find there, besides look of satisfac-
ton, and don't-get up on my-account ex-
preston, far away, penetrating look, as
though his soul was on fire, or he had been
eating cucumbers Women can have no
idea of the sacrifice man makes in such
cases. and they should not be surprised if
he faints away. Other things in the world
may cease, but the boring of the spiral
stud never ceases. We have known
preacher to get vacation of six months,
with trip abroad, because he looked sick,
when all in the world that allied him was
spiral shirt studs boring into him, though
in this instance there was no female head
acting as a screw-driver to drive them in.
He would preach a sermon on faith, and
look sick, as the studs went into him, and
the congregation would pity him, think it
was his liver, and raise money enough to
send him all over the world. Oh, the
spiral stud has done much to demoralize |
the world, and it should be suppressed.

Maud Granger.

A rumor that Miss Maud Granger, the
actress. was destitute and dying was
contradicted by the lady herself, who,
plump, bright, and smiling, greeted the
Herald representative at her mothers
residence in Hartford this afternoon.
81 have been here three weeks she
said, ''and have gained fifteen pounds
and was never in better health. Let
tiers from New York friends have adj
vised me of some of the silliest of ru-
mors One was that had softening of
the brain and did nothing but sit with
vacant stare and pick at my clothing
with my fingers. / shall return to New
York shortly. That story that 1 am in
need of money is preposterous. L have
all need at present or for months to
come" Miss Granger said this with
smile as she declined bank note which
a sympathizing friend had sent her
through the Herald representative, and
added: Please return it to the good
soul who sent it, and with my regards.
none the less pleasant to know that |
have friends who SO cheerfully offer as
sistance under the impression that |
need i"
At this moment carriage whirled up
to the door Miss Granger tipped her
plumed hat into coquettish position,
reaGiusted huge bouquet at her belt,
and calling her little black-and-tan dog
started on an afternoon drive As she
tripped from the rose-covered porch
down to the sidewalk, richly costumed,
blithe, smiling, and in the best of spir-
its, she was a living contradiction ofthe
unpleasant rumors from New I ork.-
Nezo York Herald.

Folger the leader of the moral ideal
party in New York, although his nomi-
nation was procured by the boldest fraud,
win not decline to receive the stolen posi-
ton as he deems it ''impracticable." Hayes
accepted the presidency for similar reasons.
The honest people of the party will hardly
accept this as valid excuse. Henry Ward
Beecher, in his pulpit, thus speaks of the
nomination of Secretary Folger:
ellis nomination was achieved by bribery
and perjury, and the convention, which
assumed to represent the republicans of the
state, and which deliberately he'd. in my
mind and in the mind of every honest re-
publican, when it made its nominations,
should be rebuked in manner which it
cannot fail to understand. 'Well. what
is to be done about it," you ask. For my
part, continued Mr.. Beecher, my right arm
might wither before l would vote for
man nominated under such Circumstance.

portion of the state referred to there is
man who is an acknowledged leader
in politics in his district, and among
his followers is a fellow who has con-
siderable influence with the bn inner
element. The first mentioned man has
among other worldly goods quite a
number of hogs, and the other fellow
used to shoot one of the porkers when
ever he wanted some meat, because it
was easier to supply bacon this way
than to hustle for it. The boss poIiti-
clan knew full we'll who it was that was
killing his pigs, but, not wishing to lose
the support of the fellow, he never
prosecuted him. The thing got so mo-
notonous, however, that something had
to be done to stop the slaughter; SO one
day the boss said to the offender: Say,
look here. want you to quit shooting
my pigs. l desire to allow them to
grow to a proper size before they are
Killed, and want to kill them myself.
If you will give me your word that you'll
not shoot any more of them, I'll agree
to give you five hundred pounds of
pork year. What do you say? Is it a
bargain?" All right replied the 9TH
er; 4 give you my word that III not
kill any more of your swine on the
terms you propose; but-'after d
pause, IN lose pork by it ~ Cincin-
