TAKEN advantage OF py tno5o OF way
gish propensities to perpetrate jokes
upon Il cir friends, and numerous
pranks were played in this town by
those who delight in practical joking.
One of the best was played upon a
young man at the lreakfast table of
his boarding house. Upon seating
himself q broad smile extended across
his jolly face as he espied tempting
plata of smoking hot biscuits and
near by dish Of eggs. After the
usual grace had been said he picked
out two 6ne.looking eggs and pro-
cesded to break them when to his dis.
may he saw they were empty. A
laugh from the other boarders fol-
lowed this dsnouement but the young
man took it good naturally and res CHI
ing for biscuit broke it in half 10 find
on raw cotton for its interior. He
left the table nuttering something
about another boarding house and only
laughed at himself when he found it
was April lst.

The Smiley Picnic.

This annual gathering occurred in q
pretty neck of woods, by a babbling
streamlet, recently. 1t would have
been success but for the extraordinary
kittenish prank of Mr.. Ichabod Smiley,
who ought to have known better. The
relatives of the family were all invited,
and Hannah sent her good man out to
notify each one what to carry, so that
there might be goodly variety. Icha-
bod had such an opportunity to play a
good joke that he couldn't help it, and
at the spreading of the table this is the
way it came out:
GIVE had such luck with my beans, "
said one of the ladies; ''they're too salt
and nearly burned"
"Why, did you bring beans? Uncle
Ichabod said was to bring BEANS"
"Did he? Why, he must have made
a mistake. No two were to bring any
thing alike.
"I never had so much trouble baking
beans in all my life, said another lady.
'I'm sure they won't be fit to eat"
"Neither did I" said the sweet voiced
and newest-married niece of the old
gentleman; "and told Uncle Ichabod
l had much rather make a chocolate
cake, but he insisted on beans"
"And l intended to bring boiled ham,
and he told me was expected to fur
nish beans," said his wife's sister.
Ketura.
And so it went on until each basket
had been opened. Every blessed woman
in the party deposited a pot of baked
beans on the table, loaf of brown bread
and nothing else. Hannah's chagrin
was terrible to see. She cried, she
scolded, she even threatened never to
live with her partner another minute.
And Ichabod, well he showed up after
awhile, and every one of those women
went for him. It was no use his making
excuses and laughing till his sides ached.
They didn't like it, and it was not until
he went hobbling off into the woods to
find some "checkerberry leaves" that
there was any peace at the picnic.
''The idea of his saying it reminded
him so much of Boston," said bis wife
as she tried to smile between her tears,
"but then, Ichabod always would have
his joke. ."-NeU Haven Register.

The Dublin AssasSins.

The assassin of Lord Frederick Cav
endish, who was arrested at Puerto Ca
bello, Venezuela, gives his name as Will
liam Westgate. He was arrested on the
18th of July on his own confession. He
shipped on the Sth of May, under the
name of O'Bryan, on the British bark
Gladstone, from Swansea to Tucacas.
He says he left Dublin on the night of
the 9th of May by steamer to Swansea.
The names of three of his accomplices
and other details of the murders were
taken by deposition before the British
Consul. He says that he was employed
by Mr.. O'Connor and other influential
persons. Parties who have seen the
man give credence to his confession. In
appearance the man is tail and slender.
He says that the price of the deed was
f20 to each of the assassins. He said
that e20 was worth more to an Irishman
than an Englishman's life. 1t is be-
lieved that the Venezuelan government
will surrender him, although there is
an extradition treaty. The British
Foreign Office has been geographically
communicated with.
