Not Appreciated.

AS little Mrs. Blifkins was getting

by the abrupt and unexpected entrance
of her neighbor over the way, Miss Par
rot, who was evidently charged with i'll
news.
I" How long since you seen Mr.. Blif-

Little Mrs Blifkins dropped the teapot

convulsively and loudly.

heated face with it. "Try and bear up;

The Smallest Baby Alive.

A gentleman from Candelaria informs
us that the smallest baby in the world was
born in that camp at noon on the Sd inst.
The father is a miner in the employ of
the Northern Belle Mine and weighs 100
pounds. The mother is stout, healthy
woman, weighing perhaps $50 pounds.
The child is male, as perfectly formed
as any human being can be, but upon
its birth it only weighed eight ounce.
Its face is about the size of horse chest
nut, and the size of its limbs can be inn
agined when we say that ring worn on
the little finger of its mother was easily
slipped over its foot nearly up to the
knee. Our informant states that it was
the opinion of the attending physician
that the child would live and prosper in
good health, Notwithstanding its diminu-
tive proportions. The midget is so small
thatthree of its size could play hide-and-
seek in a cigar-box. This is believed to
be the smallest baby ever born.-Cdrson

Bribery in English Elections.

Bribery in English elections is very
common, and by many is regarded as a
legitimate way to make votes. There is
much less sensitiveness upon this point
there than in this country. The Gov
eminent has found the evil growing on
its handsso rapidly that it has made up
its mind that nothing but the most strin-
gent remedies will answer. The At
torney Generals bill, so the cable has
informed us. contemplates DISTINGUISHING
wholly from the end of the present Par
lament, Gloucester, Macdesield and
Sandwich. At present the first and the
last each have one Liberal member. An
investigating committee has reported
that at the Sandwich election in May,
1880, there was not only great deal of
indirect and partly concealed corruption,
but much direct bribery-open, extern
sive and systematic. The other places
would have about as unsavory records.
In some cases individuals are to be per-
manently DISTINGUISHED. These measures
are harsh, but unless they are adopted
there seems to be no remedy, for public
opinion is yet to be created on the side
OF purity 1t sheds little light on En-
glish electoral methods to learn that in
the recent special Parliamentary election
in the North Riding of Yorkshire. where
both parties put forth their best efforts,
only 1864 votes were cast, and tho
known cost of the election to the two
candidates was El5,046 or almost tivO
dollars per vote.

was intensely surprised at the dlappear-
ance of the travellers. and at the spirit
ing away of some harness that belonged
to the young Viscount Dare He stood
in the stable yard talking with his ostler.
''But for me his lordship's boss would
h gone, too" cried the ostler stolidly.
when L see one o. they two gents a
poking and peering about here last
night under the cover o the dusk, and
see him gazing at the fine animal with
hungry eyes, and next watched him q
lingering the stable lock, it struck me
what he might be after--the wanting to
have try at changing their own sorry
hack for this one So the last thing at
night, before turning in, changed the
bosses; putting theirn in the best stable,
and t'other here, and made him safe with
my bar and paddock which can't be
picked. And they've just been and gone
away with their own"

ness" ............. $3.50. -.f
But in the course of the day mes
senger brought the harness back-and
did not wait to ask for that of the travel

So the landlord, by the bargain, got a
set of plain harness, which really was
not bad, and he let the unlucky thieves
alone. The Argosy.

A Five-FOOt HeadstOne and q Ready
Made Angel.

g Some queer charactersp Well, !,
should sayso. We meet more oddities
in this business than you would believe,
and see side of human nature that is
not shown up in any trade that know
of
The remark came from an old marble
cutter, who was busily engaged recently
| in chipping out a ferocious looking ami
NAL, presumably lamb, on a flat slab of
snowy marble. The lamb stood out in
| relief, and in its unfinished condition
bore strong resemblance to hump
backed buffalo in pantaloons.
g That stone," said the man, as he
carefully dug out the lamb eye with the
point of delicate tool, ''was ordered by
a woman who is character in herself.
Her husband died nearly three years ago.
She came to me last Monday week, and
spent just five hours in giving her order.
| had just finished chiseling out beau
tiful figure of an angel when she came
into the yard. She has thin, vinegar
ish face, squeaky voice, and pair of
eyes looking two ways for Sunday"
80 What'll it COST? says she, to have
a headstone made for my ole man? He's
been dead goin' on three years now, and
his folks are complainin' because I hain't
had it done before. To tell the truth he
didn't deserve it. He was the ALFRED
est meanest man you ever see. Still,
it's got to be done, and wish it as cheap
as possible. Now what II it be with his
name and some words onit?'
"'Well, madame said 7, it all de-
ponds on what kind of headstone YOU
want-the size, the lettering, and the
amount of labor required. l can get up
very nice stone with a ready-made
angel or an All-Seeing Eye, for about
$35. But if you want afirst-class angel,
long wings, full robe, and carved out in
the highest style of art, it will cost
good deal more. Or if you want nice
lamb lying down or standing up, or
"'Now look here said the woman,
getting angry all of a sudden, who said
anything about lambs or angels or any
such trashP l just want what l told
you, something good and cheap
$50 we argued for an hour. until she
finally made up her mind to have foot
stone, with lamb at the top.
"'That's only to please his old maid
sisters. said she, as sour-like as you
could imagine, for he wasn't any more
like lamb than I'm like lion
'But, pshaw!'' continued the maker
of tombstones and epitaphs, there
lots more like her, only worse. Some of
them want one thing and some another.
It's little curious, too, how long people
wait before they think of marking the
resting-place of their dead. A year is
probably the shortest time at the out
side. Two years, ordinarily, and some
times half a dozen, before it is thought
of. Then they 60 to the marble cutter and
haggle about the price. The first idea
is to have monument, but usually they
end with tive-foot headstone and a
ready-made angel. "-Ptitatlelphia Press.
