Sealskin Saeques in the Rough.

The Alaska Commercial company's
steam schooner Dora discharged her
cargo of fur sealskin at the Beal street
wharf yesterday, the result being that
there was more seal fur in sight at the
waterfront yesterday than is to be met
with on any day of the year on Kearney
street. The waterfront sealskin, how
ever, does not exert that peculiar at
traction which the Kearney street varie-
ty possesses. In fact, people with sem
sitive olfactory nerves are apt to give it
wide berth. for the said skins, unlike
those of Kearney street, are not perfum-
ed with musk, cologne or altar of roses,
but with sperm oil. Each skin is rolled
up into as small package as possible,
after being stripped off the animal, and
sailed, strong cords keeping the pack
age in shape. A gang of stevedores
was recently playing ball with these
packages, which were counted as they
left the hold of the schooner and placed
upon the wharf. Here men were busy
placing the skins into new barrels hold
ing about fifty each. They were again
freely sailed and rammed down with an
instrument similar to that used by street
PAYERS. The barrels were then headed
up and weighed. In this shape they
will be shipped to England, from whence
they will return bereft of their smell,
dyed to dark brown, and soft and fur
ry enough to capture any woman S
fancy and money. - San Francisco
Chronicle.

Barnum's Trick of Legerdemain at Sea.

On the recent voyage of the City of
Rome to Liverpool, P. T. Barnum was
a passenger. At CONCERT given on the
ship he was the presiding genius; he
opened the evening with numerous
anecdotes of his earlier days. Among
others he told how he once bought
magnificent coach-dog, for which he
paid $50; said he was beautifully mark
ed, but unfortunately he was caught in
a heavy shower the day after he bought
him, when presto, he was changed into
an ordinary cur, the spots having been
ingeniously painted upon him. He
went to the man from whom he had
purchased him. He acknowledged the
sale. but said his clerk had forgotten to
send the umbrella which always went
with the dog, as he could not stand the
rain. He closed the entertainment by
giving specimens of legerdemain. His
greatest trick, he said, had never been
equaled in this country or any other.
So will give it. He broke a soda
cracker into three pieces, asked some
one in the audience to mark them, so
they could be readily identified. Then
he asked for three hats. and placed
piece under each hat. Then, once more
asking the gentlemen if they were sure
they would recognize the pieces again,
he deliberately ate each piece. ''Now,
ladies and gentlemen, the most wonder
full part of the feat appears. Twill place
all three of these pieces of cracker I'M
der one hat if you will choose which
hat it shall be-" The hat was imme-
diately chosen Mr.. Barnum instantly
placed it on his head, and said: '.The
three pieces of cracker are all under the
hat" No one could gainsay it, so he
closed mid shouts of laughter. Louis

How a Mouse Carried His Burden.

-"There are two men," said Bridges,
"beside myself who are living who can
attest the truth of my mouse story. We
three were comrades in the Federal
army during the war; One day, in the
State of Kansas, while on scout, one
of our men was killed in drunken row.
Having received permission late in the
evening, we took the corpse to pri-
vate house, intending to bury it the
next day. We three were sitting up
with the body in room from which
stairway assembled to the upper floor.
During the wee hours we heard a
strange noise, as if something was NOV
ing softly on the upper steps of the
stairway, and which seemed to be grad
ually descending. AS the light was dim
in the room, q minute or more elapsed
before we could discern what was the
cause of the noise, when we discovered
three mice, evidently engaged in help
ing each other to lift or roll something
down the stairway. AS they progress
ed step at time we discovered that
it was a large hens egg, which one of
the mice held in close embrace, al
lowing the other two to roll him like q
ball from one step to the other, always
managing to fall on his back, thereby
protecting the egg. After reaching the
floor in the room in which we were sit
ting, all three began to roll the egg to-
ward an indenture In the floor, with
which they seemed to have been famil-
lar. The egg was rolled into this place,
evidently to steady it, while the three
mice proceeded to eat it, cutting
through the shell and soon emptying it.
Now, if mouse sense isn't equal to horse
sense, I don't know" -Oatr Continent.

This summer a party of New York
tourists had penetrated the wilds of
northern Michigan in search of health
and recreation, and, coming upon a
squatter's 12x12 cabin with sign of "Ho-
tell' over the door, the party halted to
make few inquiries. "Can we obtain
accommodation here?" asked the spokes-
man. "Yaas,I guess So" SCOT every
thing handy?" "Yaas." "What are
your charges?" The landlord looked
the party over and replied: Gentlemen
I'm blunt man, and we'll come to the
pint at once. / kin furnish quilts, but
you'll have to sleep out doors. The
grub will consist of pork, taters, and
Johnny cake. I allow no card playing,
hoss-racing, or swearing, and furnish a
razor and soap for Sunday shaving. I
sell wisky at 50 pint, mix cure for
chills, and have a boss and wagon to
convey any one who dies to the nearest
railroad station. That's me; and guess
about $50 week will be the fair thing,
though I want We to understand that
I'm making a great reduction over last
years prices"

A Petroleum Romance.

A fellow New Yorker pointed out to
me this morning citizen of Pittsburg
who was, at one time, a salesman in q
retail grocery there, at 8. salary of $500
year. When the petroleum excite
ment became rampant, he went to Titus
vile without any money, and after a
Spectator and ssstruck OIL making
$500, 900 to $4,000 in year. He in
creased this sum to 81 800, 900, and was
urged by his friends to retire from the
oil region with the wages of his luck
This he refused to do, and before an
other twelve-month he had lost it all
but few thousand dollars. Then he
returned to Pittsburg and went to
work in a legitimate way; but the fever
of speculation attacked him once more,
and he betook himself second time to
Oil Greek. After various shifts and adj
ventures, fortune revisited him, and he
was able to count his million. Trying
to double this-he had fixed his figure
at $4,000, 0O0-he was again financially
wrecked. This time he was so poor
that he stayed among the wells, and
was forced to earn a livelihood by be-
coming day laborer. New opportun-
tiles opened to him, and third time he
got very rich. Reckless speculation
once more brought him low, and he left
for California. hoping to improve his
prospects there. The fascination of pc
troleum drew him back. He made a
fourth fortune and lost it; and finally a
fifth, with the same result.
Within few months the tickle god
dess has smiled for the sixth time, and
he has invested all his money in Gov
eminent boads-well nigh S1.700, 600
and forsworn speculation. He sold all
his oil before the recent tumble in
prices, and says he has learned wisdom
by experience. Having more than he
will ever spend, he ought to be content
ed financially, and run no more risks;
but doubt if he will. The $4,000, 600
he had fixed upon he has not yet reach
ed; and he will be different from most
spectators if he can resist the gold
greed. His wife, who is here, with four
children-two grown-up girls, and two
boys on the eve of manhood-was the
counselor that induced him to buy gov
ernments. He himself is not yet fifty.
In no other country than this could a
man make six fortunes and lose five in
less than twenty-five years. In Ameri-
ca alone is the tale of Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp daily, yes hourly, veri-
fied.-Bosto'a Advertiser.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.

There are a number OF persons out of
getic men willing to work do not need
to be. Thosa willing to work can make
from 800 to $500 month clear, work
ing for us in q pleasant and permanent
business. The amount our agents make
varies, some making as high as $500 a
month while others as low as 500, all
depending on the energy of the agent.
We have an article of great merit. Tt
should be sold to every HORSEPOWER and
pays over 100 per cent profit. Each
sale is from 50. so to $1,000. One agent
in Pennsylvania sold 81 in two days, and
cleared S64.00. An agent in New York
made $500 in one day. Any man
with energy enough to work full day.
and will do this during the year can
make from 1900 to So, 900 year. We
only want one man In each county, and
to him will give the exclusive sale as
long as he continues to work faithfully
for us. There is no competition, and
nothing like our invention made. Par
ties having from 5000 to 81 900 to invest,
can obtain a General Agency for ten
counties or q state. Any one can make
an investment of from $50 to 81 900 with
out the least risk of loss, as our Circulars
will show that those investing $50 can
after a 80 days trial return the goods
unsold to us and get their money back,
if they do not clear at least $780, They
show that General Agent who will take
ten counties and invest $4,000 can after
trial of 80 days return all goods unsold
to us, and have money returned to them
il they fail to clear at least $3.50 in that
time. There are many persons having
money to invest who could not give the
business personal attention-such can
employ sub agents without leaving home
making large amount yearly out of a
very small investment We are not pay
ing salaries, but want men willing to
work and obtain as their pay the profits
of their energy. Men not willing to work
on our terms will not work on any.
Those meaning business will receive
our large descriptive circular, and ex
traordinary offer by enclosing a three
cent stamp, with their address. The
first to comply with our terms will secure
the county or counties they may wish
to work. Address.

'Think Of the Dor :,

(, At Cassville, Ca. we had lust taken
seats on the veranda for the usual
smoke and talk when up came two
colored men who were evidently greatly
agitated. One of them made inquiries
for the justice of the peace, and being
told that he was out of town, he turned
to the other and said:
'F1l leave dis case to any OF desc
gem'len to decide on. What do you
say?"
"Tn du de same"
1t was a case where one owned dog
and the other owned four sheep. The
sheep didn't care for dog meat, but the
eur hankered after mutton and got it, kill
ing the whole four. 1t was now ques-
ton OF damages, and when referee
had been chosen the owner OF the sheep
remarked:
'.De value of dem sheepses was three
dollars apiece jist as dey stood, sayin'
muffin bout de increase fur next yeah. :"
'.Yes, reckons dey was wo'th all of

Then why don't you settle at that
