A Cute Celestial.


Recently IN Butte, where China
men play at faro a great deal, a mild
hammered heather slid into faro
game, and after losing few dollars
pulled out little package of gold
dust and laid it on the ace. The ace
lost. and the dealer, picking up the
package, unfolded it and weighed
out the dust, which was $50 worth.
He was about to cast the paper aside
when the Celestial motioned to it and
asked that it might be gwen back, as
it had some washing accounts on it.
The paper was returned, and the
next night he was there again. betting
$50 in gold dust as before. He pu,
his package carefully on the ace and
won. The dealer handed out S5C
and the Chinaman shook his head.
"What's the matter, John"'
"You payee alice l bet. One hun
dred fifty dollar"
The dealer laughed contempluous
ly, but the heather, unrolling tn
package, showed 500 bill betweei
the double piece of paper which con
tanned the dust.
The dealer looked very cheap, bu
the Chinaman never moved muscle
He acted as ifit was the regular thin
to keep hundred dollar greenbac
folded up in his gold-dust packages.
"Pay It," said the lookout mar
"He's got us dead"
The same bill was in the papt
the night before, but the deal'
, had handed it back, thinking it Wi
a wash bill. But, Of course, tn
, wasn't the Chinamans' fault.

The citizen looked up and down
the street, acress the way, and finally
said:
81 guess I'll take two pounds o.
your warmed-up, adulterated old
sugar. If it was new 1 would no
touch the stuff at any price. Please

He paid for the sugar and carried
it away, but he looked like maj

Plain Speaking.

There was something positively re-
freshing in the testimony of one OF
the experts in Guiteau's trial. DIR:
Gray, of the Utica Asylum, does not
believe in "emotional insanity or
s.moral insanity" nor in ''klepto.
mania, dipsomania nor pyromanIa.'
In his judgment, if a well-dressed
woman obtains articles from shops
without paying for them, it is not
kleptomania, but theft. A gentleman
in good standing is drunkard' not a
"dipsomaniac )" and if man sets
his store on fire to get the insurance,
or lights a fire to see how lively "the
boys' will get to it, he is not a ''pyr.
omania," but ''fire bug" 1t viii

Russla's Gift to Prussia.
From the London Daily Telegraph

During the brief occupation Of
Berlin by the Russian army in 1850,
the invaders plundered the Royal
Arsenal of Its more valuable arms
and trophies of war, and carried off
their booty to Russia. Among the
objects peculiarly precious to the
Prussian army that were thus san
nexed" was a splendid car, presented
by Frederick William L., thirty years
previously to his corps of field artil-
lery for their drums and colors on
extraordinary occasions, such as re-
views on grand parades. In shape
resembling a shell, and painted
bright scarlet, this car, drawn by four
gray stations, with tiger-skinned trap
pings and tall red-and-white plumes,
used to precede the artillery column
during its march past the saluting flag,
surrounded by the so-called ''Janis-
sary-Music," in which his Majesty
took such especial delight. The head
drummer of the artillery corps occu-
pied the back seat, having in front Of
him two huge silver-mounted drums,
suspended in sling and behind the
four standards of the corps. Freder-
ick the Great refused to take this
costly equipage with him when he
started from Berlin at the commence
ment of the Seven Years. War, never
dreaming that the Russians would
succeed in pouncing upon his capital
behind his back; and so it fell into
the hands of Muscovite General.
who conveyed it to st. Petersburg,
where it was deposited with great
pomp and ceremony in the armory of
Fort Petropavlovsk. Gar Alexander
Ill. has lately intimated his intention
to restore this interesting relic OF
Prussia's early military history to
its rightful owner, the German Em
peror. 1t will be brought to Berlin
by Russian guard of honor, and de
posted in the Arsenal on the Linder
avenue, from which it was forcibl,
removed nearly century and quar-
ter AGO.

An ESSAY on Man,

He was made Of dust.
Quite a number have never rccov-

Adam had monopoly, but he
could not be happy without some one
to crow over.
For awhile he knocked around over
the Garden of Eden, and then went
to the house, but he had to cook his
own supper; there wasn't any wood
and things were in bad shape gener-
ally.
The next morning it was the same
way. He had to make his own bed and
sweep out. His stockings we're dirty.
and his arm would 60 through hole
in his sleeve. So he was dissatisfied.
The next night, when he went to
sleep, the Creator punished him by
making a woman-a great misfortune
to the race.
Pursuit in this case is said to be
sweeter than possession.
After Eve got acquainted with hei
mate she vowed that all the men in

The Prince and the Pauper.

Mark Twain's latest literary essay
is romance, entitled "The Prince
and the Pauper," and we are in
formed that it is ''tale for young
people OF all ages This addendum
has much of the Twain flavor about
it, and we find on turning over the
leaves of the book there is indeed
much that will amuse if not instruct
"young people of all ages"-not
merely the youth beginning to un-
derstand and crafty his innate long
ings for knowledge, and to develope
his imaginative faculties, but for the
''old boys" and elderly girls, the
fathers and mothers of the aforesaid
youth. The work marks decidedly
new departure on the part Of the hu-
morist. 1t is indescribable in the
limits of review. A brief synopsis
of its plot may help to an understand
ing of the outline of the story, but
the book itself alone supplies the
filling in that forms q remarkable
fabric. The plan Of the tale is thus
described:
"It deals with the period-of history
when Henry VIII. was King Of Eng
land, and by q series of accidents the
son of the king and stout boy whom
he miraculously resembles change
places. The young prince, who af-
terward becomes Edward VII, is
thrust out Of the palace gate, and
falling into the hands of the pauper's
family, is accepted as their own.
while the pauper begins life as the
kings son amidst the obsequious
compliances of the courtiers among
whom his freakish exchange Of clothes
with the real prince had left him.
Edward Tudor leads from that time
on the life of q beaten and hunted
beggar and tramp, and Tom Canty
sees the other side of the ray of life
which he once fancied so joyous, till
they at last, by another series of ac-
cidents, meet face to face on the
princes coronation day. A charm
ing and useful fact of the conceit is
that each boy in his place loudly pro-
tests against the mistake that has
been made; Tom declares that he is
a pauper, the son of beggar and 3
thief; Edward maintains that he is
the prince of Wales. Both are thought
mad; the mock prince is gradually
silenced in his assertions by the
kings command, which forbids him
to utter them or his courtiers to even
notice them; but the real prince pro-
claims his right to the very end, in
all presences and circumstances"
| Eventually, Of course the wrong is
} righted, but not before both youths
pass through an experience which
. may without fear of contradiction be
pronounced unprecedented. A pub
| lie familiar with Twain's wild fancy
may conceive what play he gives it
. in working up astounding ''situa-
tions" as the tale progresses. There
r is deep vein Of pathos, also. in the
account of the princes unhappy lot.
The author has, advantageously to
himself, we think, changed his pub
r fishers. s'The Prince and the Pau

Correspondence of the Ledger.
AUxvAssE, Mo-, January 16.-l
Auxvasse is fast becoming one of the
liveliest burgs in the State. Every
body is full of business, and seeming
ly prosperous. Mr.. Martin, formerly
of Ann ArbV, Michigan, has built
and is running a first-class steam saw
and grist mill. Mr.. Martin is a good
business man and thorough mechanic.
The villagers and farmers appreciate
the convenience and patronize him
literally. Harrison's kiln and the
cooper shop furnish steady employ
ment for a number of hands. Rohn
Bros. the blacksmiths, and Edward
Martin the wagonmaker, are good
workmen, and always kept busy.
Pitt Cole keeps few good rigs to let
at reasonable prices. We were sorry
to see DIR. Basket so busy, knowing
that his good fortune means some
fellow mans misfortune. Charley Ad-
ans. the boss grocer, is happy as a
clam with his new wife. Lawrence
Bros, keep we'll selected stock of
general merchandise and lumber.
Everybody says business was never
better-all are well employed. The
merchants say they never sold more
goods at this season of the year.
How it it with Mexico business men?
Possibly the condition of the roads
has something to do with Auxvasse's s
prosperity. For the past three months
a team could not haul an ordinary
load from the vicinity of Auxvasse to
Mexico, and why? Because Audrain' s
portion of the road has been we'll nigh
impassable for want of few bridges
and culverts. Now, Mr.. Editor, for
the present, drop your stone roads
that cost three to four thousand dol
lars per mile, and use your influence
to persuade the present county court
to the opinion (and if they will not
be persuaded to, ask it) that the
county can we'll afford to spend one
or two hundred dollars per mile for
bridges and culverts on the main
roads leading from Mexico into rich
sections of adjoining counties, that
are naturally tributary to Audrain in
business way. In explanation Of
; the courts past and present policy,
let me say, for the past six years il
has not expended one hundred dol
lars ON bridges on the eight miles o
Audrain's portion of the Mexico
Fulton road Clover road). Let u:
