A certain man made great supper
of bolted meal and babe many, and
sent his servant at supper time TO say
to them that they we're bidden, Come,
for all things are now ready, and we
must needs have a chief to preside
over the bolted meal lest the un.
bolted'look upon us and say, "Ha, hal
they have no head center"
And they all with one consent be-
gan to make excuse. The first said:
| have bought a piece of ground and
planted an orchard, and in trim
ming the superfuous branches
the knife did slip and carve me in the
thigh, pray thee have me excused.
One on crutches cannot read as he
runs; neither can he run as he reads.
| will not run.
Another said: l have bought five
yoke of oxen, and l go to prove them
before the Magistrates, besides, l have
other law business. / pray thee have
me excused.
And another said after the manner
of Ebenezer, surnsmed James, have
married q wife, and prefer to do no
talking during this campaign; verify,
she can do enough for both Of us, and
there 'ore | can not come to the
scratch.
Then the master of the house being
angry said to his servants, 60 out
quickly into the streets and lanes of
the city, and Russell and Fussell
around like the very devil was after
you, and bring in hither the poor,
the scrubby, and the MANNED, and the
halt, and the blind, and compel some
one to take the first place at the table,
although it shall be like unto the place
of chief mourner. For verify this thing
is getting serious-not to say monoto-
nous,
And the servant went and soon re. .
turned, for even as Potiphar's wife
had he captured one Joseph, albeit it
was Just as the captive was near to
getting off on the south bound train,
and he returned with him to the Hall,
bound hand and foot with hempen
throngs. And Joseph rose up and
bowed himself down and said to those
assembled, Verify am l your prisoner;
ye have cotch me at last, but thanks
be unto Luke, James aud John, there
are on iron letters on these limbs
of mine; neither is my shirt
tail rent in twain, as it was
with my namesake of old, so
that verify l may bear it as an unsplit
banner through the land, for l am the
very boy to do it,"
Thereupon all the elders and Scribes
and Pharisees rose up with loud
clamor and clapped their hands, and
said "Bully for Joe -; a sweeter
little lamb was never before captured
that the elders and the Pharisees may
make sacrifice, yea, savory meat
offering of his innocent muttonship
withal, to the good people who had
expected to roast us" 1t was then
moved and seconded that they adjourn,

The New York Herald says: "The
Fourth of July has passed, but the
toy pistols have survived, and not a
day passes without reports Of injury
and lockjaw among their owners. The
law should enable all police officers to
seize and destroy these popular infer.
nal machines" The law is strong
enough in most States, but the trouble
is that the parents of the boys sustain
them in many things that should be
discouraged. and policemen who un-
dertake to interfere with toy pistol
sport find that have a first
class row on their hands.

O,Dynamite Rosss.
N. Y. Herald.

In a recent issue of the London
Times correspondent of that journal
writes from city of history, more or
less authentic, of the operations Of
that part of the Irish race in America
which proposes to blow England to
smithereens with dynamite. By that
article we rejoice to see that England
trembles at the name Of Rossa. 1t is,
of course, not to be expected that the
London Times should love this ex-
plosive and irrepressible patriot, and
when it "chucks Ojium" upon him it
does him most honor. Indeed, inss-
much as it is evident that there are
two parts of the dynamite division,
AMI that while one contrives explo-
sions the other sells the knowledge Of
them to England, it is a subject for
rejoicing that the Times did not praise
Rosa, since that might have led to
the suspicion that ne was himself the
commercial patriot.

There are plenty of able bodied
Jews in Russia and Roumania, who
are desirous to leave, and who are
numerous enough to settle all Pales

of that emigration; we can do very
we'll without them. We only look
upon that matter from the humanita-
