Understanding Mems Natures.

About mid-afternoon yesterday citi-
zen who pulls down the scales at 1856
pounds descended the first flight of
stairs beyond the Postof1ice in just the
same manner that u bag of oats would
have chosen, and when he brought up
at the foot he was in no frame of mind
to chip in anything for the heather in
Africa. The first citizen who arrived
on the spot knew what his duty required
of him on such an occasion, and he
smilingly remarked:
II don't believe you can improve on
the old wayr'
The second citizen passing was in a
hurry, but he knew that he must halt
and inquire:
Like that any better than coming
down the way the rest of us do?''
The third citizen had business at the
Postotfice, but he turned aside, cleared
his throat, and remarked:
evidently fell down stairs? Curious
how it sets the blood to circulating!
Some of you had better see if his nose is
broken-good-bye?''
There was a fourth spectator, and he
slowly entered the doorway, bent over
the victim, and remarked:
'I'd have given dollar to see him
come down! He's one of the sort who
bump every stairr'
The fifth man was about to add his
mite when the victim rose up. His ell
bows were skinned, his nose barked, his
coat torn and his back sand-papered the
whole length, but he was man who
had travelled. He knew that everybody
in the crowd was hoping to see him
jump up and shake his fists, and paw
the air, and to hear him declare that he
would lick all the men who could be
packed in q ten-acre lot, and therefore
he brought q sweet smile to his face,
lifted his hat like a perfect gentleman,
and limped up stairs with the bland re-
mark:
''Stubbed my toe as l came in the
door, you know, and came near falling
in heap.'-Detroit Free Press.

The Dutchman's Disappointment,

wa.hington's Cup.
How DOL J. :. Claiborne Saw Hi. 0hoio. Brandy


The following story was related to the
editor of the Natchez MISSY Demo-
crat and another journalist while on a
visit to the sage of Dunharton:
Many: years ago, said Colonel Clai-
borne, "When ] had planting interests
in Madison and Holmes Counties, / used
to ride through the country on horse
back, and as was in feeble health /
usually had in my saddle-bags bottle
of good old brandy. This had to econ
Omize, rs it was not to be obtained on
the route. Stopping one day ut the log
cabin of good old mani will call
him Shaw-before taking the dinner he
had prepared, drew out my bottle, and
of course invited my host to join me in
testing the virtues of my Otard. My
host, looking ut the bottle, very consid-
erately, as thought, declined my in
probably more of the brandy than
Really approaching tho consideration
of my friend, l insisted on his joining
me in a drink, and, as a further induce-
ment, told him that the cup from which
we would drink had once been tho
property of General Washington, and
that he would have the pleasure of
drinking from a cup which had touched
the lips of the Father of his Country.
"'This cup, you say belonged to the
immortal Washington, the Father of his
Country? Then | will take drink from
it, So saying, he poured out stiff
horn, and having smacked his lips over
it, thought seemed to strike him, and
he called out, -! Mrs. Shaw, come
here, if you please. Mrs. Shaw said
he, this cup was the property OF the inn
mortal Washington, and has touched
the lips of the Father of his Country.
You must take sip Of good brandy
from this venerable relic So she pour
ed out another drink from my bottle,
which was quaffed with relish by Mrs.
Shaw. My friend again called out: o.!
Polly Shaw, come here. my daughter.
Here is a cup that once belonged to the
immortal Washington, and has touched
the lips of the Father of his Country.
You, my daughter, must take q sip of
good brandy from this valuable relic
Miss Polly did not object, and another
draft was made upon my supply of
Otard.
''There was now but,a single dose of
my precious medicine left, and l was
watching it with some anxiety, when a
new impulse seemed to inspire my
friend Shaw, and he cried out: Bring
Claiborne Shaw here Flattered by the
knowledge that scion of the Shaw
family was dubbed with my own pat
ronymic, I awaited the arrival of Clai-
borne Shaw, who proved to be a chub-
by little fellow of two or three years of
age. claiborne Shaw said the father,
here is q cup which belonged to the inn
mortal Washington, and which has
touched the lips of the Father of his
Country. You, my son, are too young
to sip from this venerable relic, but
your father will sip it in your stead.'
Saying which he poured the last dropof
my old brandy into the cup and devour-
ed it, in honor OF the immortal Wash
ington, the Father of his Country

A Question of Precedence,


A curious anecdote is told of Prince
Gortschakoff who lately resigned his Of
flee of Grand Chancellor of the Russian
Empire, man of great sagacity and in
finite tact. Some years ago, the chief
counsellor of the Gar was at Berne,
where his son, as ambassador, repre-
sented the Government of the Russian
Empire. Prince Gortschakoff's arrival
in Switzerland happening to be at the
time of great religious ceremony, on
occasion of the EmperOr's birthday, the
Grand Chancellor said to his son, "You
are aware that at the close of the cere-
mony tomorrow all persons present
will 60 forward to the altar, in order to
kiss the cross. You understand, of
course, that go first of ALL
Il beg pardon, sir, replied the young
man; ''as Russian ambassador. I repre-
sent the Emperor's person, and as such
l have the precedence"
''But, as Grand Chancellor, repre-
sent the Emperor everywhere, and at
all times; however, continued the
prince, after moments reflection,
'since you make point of it, yield
the precedence to you on this occa-
sion"

the Russian ambassador advanced first
towards the altar; the Grand Chancel.

Our colorcd brethren are not acquaint-

are familiar with biblical persons and

Eooentricities Of Hotel Guests.

'sDo you see that man going off with
that bell boyP'' asked clerk in one Of
the leading hotels in this city of q re-
porter, says the Detroit Free Press. An
affirmative answer was given ut which
the clerk continued: s'That man is
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
and is at the head of a business which
probably amounts to upwards of q mil
lion dollars year, yet he cannot write
his own name. He stops with us four
or five times year and I always regis
ter his name for him without asking any
questions, for know of his inability.
and he knows that know it.
'.How about his bill? Ishould thin);
a hotel clerk might cheat such man."
said the reporter.
eve never cheat anybody" said the
clerk in an injured tone, and he contin-
ued: II pity the clerk who tries to swell
old --'s bill. / dom know whether
he can read figures or not, but you may
bet he can tell mighty soon whether his
bill is right or not, even to q cent?
The above remarks led to a very in
teresting chat, during which the clerk
related 4 few Of the eccentricities he has
met with during twenty years which he
has spent behind hotel desks. One of
the oddities was told of well-known
star actor who never takes q meal out
side of his own room, yet who never
eats anything-at least in the hotel
beyond Graham bread toasted, black
tea, cold roasted or smoked meats with
a dessert of toasted cheese and crackers.
Il presume the simplicity of this diet is
the cause of his eating his meals in his
own room," said the clerk.
Another interesting note was of a
wealthy mana resident of this city
who seldom misses an evening that he
does not visit the hotel reading-room
and spend from one to two hours read
ing the Detroit daily papers.
A novel way of carrying money was
revealed by the clerk, who told of q
guest who always has from $500 to ST.
600 on his person and upon reaching
the hotel hands the clerk package
done up in tissue paper in such u way as
to look like package of tobacco or 3
roll of calico or anything besides bank
notes. ellis package Of cash has be-
come so we'll known to the clerks that
when they see it in the safe they re-
mark, Hello, old Tissue is here again -
Illustrative of some of the trials a no
tel clerk has to put up with, was told
the hobby of an old man who insists on
having two rooms with connecting
doors, man to remain in the room and
keep awake with the gas turned on full
head while he sleeps. Fear of sudden
illness and possible death, (which fear
has existed seven or eight years, to my
knowledge" is the reason the old gen
tleman requires companion.

Longfellow, many reluctant authors
having admitted that their silence un-

An Arctic Tragedy.

With Horn sound begins the interest
IN Spitzbergen, as the place was the
scene of a cruel tragedy as was ever en-
acted. The story has In it all the dra-
matte elements of a thrilling novel of
the old schools, and finds fitting de-
nouement in the mines of Siberia. On one
of the innermost islands of Horn sound,
few years ago, We're found Il heap of
nine skulls, said to be those of a Russian
crew murdered by party of English
whalers. These murdercrs were never
discovered, but another and still more
remarkable discovery was made i'll the
year 1858 by a Norwegian sea captain,
Near this place, and it is of this intend
to tell. 1t is the commonest occurrence
for ships that venture up here to lose
one or more men q trip. and SO when
the other members of the small crews
say i've or six men-rcturn home and
report that they have lost comrades, no
particular attention is paid to the news
beyond the little circle widowed by the
lost men.
1t happened somewhere about 1849
that the crew of a Russian whaler made
their way to Archangel and reported
that they lost their captain and two men
on Spitzbergen through an accident. de-
tails of which were given. Thecaptain
and his men were mourned, and in a
little while the affair was forgotten. In
1853, however, the Norwegian captain
in question, while out hunting for rein
deer, found three human skeletons, and
beside them gun from which the stock
was rotting. On the barrel of the gun
we're scratched number of inscriptions
in Russian, which the Norwegian was
unable to make out. He brought the
gun home with him, and sent tito Arch
angel, where it was found to contain
the history of the captain and the two
men, previously reported as having been
killed by accident. The inscription told
how the owner of the gun and his two
men had been basely deserted by the
others of the crew, for whom they were
out procuring food, and left to die OF
exposure. Those of the crew then alive
were arrested and sentenced for life to
work in the mines of Siberia. The poor
captain and his men must have suffered
terribly, for, from dates on the gun-the
last of which was March Sit was learn.
