A Bit of Swagger.

Talking about swagger, too much of this commodity has lately brought to grief certain member of a well-known good third-rate London club. This gentleman, is not only confirmed "tuft hunter" but one who, so far from even admitting that any member of the "Up. per Ten" could by any accident be un- known to him, is always ready to boast of close and intimate friendship with every one who happens to have either rank or position. His failing is notori- ous and three humorists determined to give him lesson. Accordingly, in the club biliard-room, one of their number, Mir. O., casually said, "Are you going to Lady L-'s tonight ?" ''No," re. piled the victim Cher ladyship will never forgive me; but the fact is I'm Tagged out, and good people are scarce, think" "Quite right I'll make your apologies, " said Mir. 0. Aghast at this unlooked.for proposition, but unable now to retreat from the position he had taken up, the only reJoinder of Mir. J. was a feeble, "Thanks I wish you would" Half an hour later, just as the trio were about to leave the club, un- happy MT. J. drew Mir. O. aside, and, after some beating about the bush, was at last obliged to confess that he did not know Lady L., and begged Mir. c. not to mention his name to her. "An right" said his triumphant tormentor, 'I won't; you may depend upon that, for don't happen to know her myself r Tableau. Correspondence Quiz.

The Texas Hog.

To the traveller through Texas one of the strangest and most peculiar features of landscape is the razor-back hog. He is of Swiss cottage style of architecture. His physical outline is angular to de- gree unknown outside of & textbook on the science of geometry. The coun- try razcr.back prowls around in the woods and lives on acorps, pecan nuts and roots; when he can spare time he climbs under his ownep's fence and as- sists in harvesting the corn crop. In this respect he is neighborly to fault, and, when his duty to his owners crop will allow, he will readily turn in and assist the neighbors, even working night rather than see his crop spoil for want of attention. Crossing the razor- back with the blue-blooded stock makes but little improvement. The only ef- fective way to improve him is to cross him with 8 railroad train. He then be- comes an imported Berkshire, or Pee land China hog, and if he does not knock the train of the track, the rail- road company pays for him at the rate of one dollar @ pound, for which they are allowed the mournful privilege oi shovelling the remains of the track. The ham of 8 country razor-back is more juicy than the hind leg of an iron flre-dog, but not quite so fat as pine knot.-- Western PLouQhn90n.

A Costly Job.

In town not o thousand miles from Ipswich the following true story is told of the experience of 0 prominent citizen: During the night @ window blind be- came loose and broke pane of glass. In the morning the owner found his way to glazier and asked what it would cost to set the glass. and was told $1. 25 for glass, putty and setting, or seventy five cents for glass and putty. He took the glass and putty, saying that he could not earn fifty cents more easily than by setting it himself. He went home, and putting the glass against the house un- der the window he was to repair, pro ceeded to remove the old putty. For getting the glass, and putting his foot near the building to brace himself up, he hit and broke the glass. He pro- cured another, carried it into the house and put it behind chair against the wall, where it would be safe until he wanted it to use. Again he went out. side to complete the necessary prepara- tions. His wife, seeing the glass and remembering how the other light was broken, thought it in very dangerous place and removed it, placing it in 8 chair. While this was going on the head of the house was busy about his job, and in his endeavor to dig out the hard putty the chisel slipped and went through another light. He then went into the house to tell his wife and gel her sympathy and advice about finish
 ing the job. In doing so he sat dowr in the chair in which the glass had beer placed, and one can imagine his surprise and feeling when he realized that tho fourth pane of glass WAS ruined. lii wife thought he was not 8 success il

A Happy Egyptian.

MT. Wolf, formerly United States Consul General to Egypt, speaks very highly of Arabi Pasha. In MT. Wolf's opinion he is an honest and certainly from an Egyptian standpoint highly educated and intelligent man. Mir. Wolf, upon bidding him goodbye upon leaving Egypt, said: "I hope, your Excellency, that when I return shall find you we'll and Egypt happy. ? " Happy. happy" he responded. "One of our Sheiks, who had bad wife. once preached in the mosque, saying Al who love God and fear their wives stand up.' All stood up except one. Sur prised, after the service, the Sheik ap- preached the man and said, You heard what I said?' 'Yes.' You did not stand up.' 'No.' You must be happy, then9 Tell me your secret how do you get along with your wife ? and he responded, 'Who tells you am happy. You are happier than l.

A Horse Incident.

People who only occasionally visit horse races are too often disposed to think that this kind of sport is very hard on the animals. Turf men are well aware of the fact that genuine race horse enters into the spirit of the race as much as do men and often get even more excited. During the late racing at the Driving Park in Salt Lake City, says 8 local paper, it often required many minutes and numerous attempts to get the animals evenly under way. Tn trying to score the animals were so eager to be in front that their riders or drivers had but little control over them, and often became impatient before they could get their animals to score evenly. A singular incident happened at the track the other morning, which illus trates somewhat the feelings of these noble animals. Ben Anderson had been turned out to graze and was quietly feeding by the half-mlle track near the grand stand, when he noticed the Duke of Monday being exercised on the mile track. Ben started on 8 gallop for the mile track, fell in behind the Duke and trailed him around the track most of the mile, then shot ahead, and in spite of Duke and his rider, passed the wire far in front. Those who saw it say the race was a pretty one, in which Anderson played his game of trailing, thus saving his strength, and then came out on the home stretch just as his riders have al ways trained him, while the Duke oi Monday did his best to gain the race But the best part came after the wire had been passed. Ben Anderson rar far enough to gain an easy stop, the1 turned about and galloped back to tn, wire and stopped, as is usual, for tn
 driver to get of and be weighed thel he looked around as if waiting the de cision of the judges. We are incline,
 to think that Ben Anderson and man, other fast horses get as much amuse
 ment, and often more, out of a rae
 than their owners.

A Little Farm.

Every negro employed on the Bell Grove plantation in Louisiana has a little patch of land which is his to cul- tivate for his own use and profit. The hands are nearly all genuine plantation negroes, having been born and reared there. They are happy, careless race, and their attachment to the place is as deep ss any emotion they are conscious of. This is part of prayer which one of the women who has "taken religion" has been heard to offer: Member the landlord of the plantation in a most perticular manner. Hold him in the palm of Thy right hand ; make him such man as he orter be; rough-shod his feet with the pepperation of divine grace hang his tongue on the gospel hinges. And now, LOT, when Thou done 'memin' him and all roun' de
 world, member poor uEgrashus me, and hear my unworthy groans."
