Stopped the Wrong Man.

Among the spectators at the Demo-

time in the afternoon, might have been
Ssse1a the benevolent aud handsome SOM

Williamson, of Lodi. The doctor no

but he has been war-horse in times
gone by. and a little of the old fire could
yet be Seen to sparkle in his eve when It
came to making a nomination or casting
vote. In ante bellum days he was a
Representative of .'Old Tuolumnen i'm
the Assembly for one term, and this calls
to mind an incident of the period when
he was practicing physician in Sonora.
In those days the doctor was one of the
boys An Apollo in feature, took his
toddy straight and often, fought the
tiger and played monte. although his
favorite sport was Z" draw poker" in a
game of which he would leave the
dining-table any time to take hand.
nor would he leave so long as he could
get anybody to play with him; indeed,
1t was proyerbial fact that he never
sought his pillow so long as he had "a
cent in his pocket. But Just here it
might be well enough to state, paren-
thetically, that the doctor has long since
settleu down, got married, attends
church regularly and has class in Sab
bath school-in fact has gone through
general reconstruction. To continue
with the story: One dark, dreary night
ne was called out several miles into the
country to see patient, and on his wav
back was stopped by some highwaymen
and ordered to surrender his wealth.
The doctor reined in his horse, looked
down at the road-agents, and said: Il
guess you do not know who | am, do
you?" The leader of the band informed
him that they did not, nor did they care,
but if ne didn't hurry up and hand over
his money and valuables they did know
ne would soon be corpse. - Well, by
gosh, he said, ''my name is DR.. Will
hanson, and1 was never known to leave
a gambling-room so long as had a cent

Black birch, which is rapidly coming
into favor, is a close-grained and very
handsome wood, and can be easily
stained to resemble walnut exactly. 1t
is Just as easy to work and is suitable for
nearly, if not all, the purposes to which
black walnut is at present applied. Birch
is much the same color as cherry. but
the latter wood is now very scarce, and
consequently dear. 1t is difficult thing
to obtain cherry at $50 per 1000 feet,
while birch wood can be had at any saw
mill at 81 per 1000 feet. When prop
erly stained it is almost impossible to
distinguish the difference between it
and walnut, as it is susceptible of
beautiful polish, equal to any wood now
used in the manufacture of furniture. In
the forests throughout Ontario birch
grows in abundance, especially if the
land is not too boggy. There is great
difference in the wood of different Sec
tons. Where the land is high and dry
the wood is firm and clear; but if the
land is low and wet the wood has ten
dency to be soft, and often of blush
color. In all the Northern regions it :
can be found in great abundance, and as
the tree grows to great size, little trouble
is experienced in procuring it in large

crease; the Colorado beetle would have
invaded the potato fields, the wheat
would have been blighted with mildew
and the cows would have pined and
perished with tile ''hollow horn" The
Republican editor is eyidently the victim
of confusion of ideas. His party has
had much success in farming the offices
and that fact must have suggested
the thought that it is the great ag-
ricultural party of the country. This
peculiar association of ideas may have
been strengthened, too. by the proceed

A Poker-playing Millionaire.

A millionaire in New York who dis
penses princely hospitality, has a great
liking for poker. One evening, while
playing with a foreign Minister, the game
along at midnight all at once became
exciting. The deal gave the millionaire
the eight, nine and ten and jack of
hearts, He discarded a spade and got
the queen of hearts. The Minister called
for two cards. He had already three
kings. and in the draw got the fourth.
Quietly the players began to bet The
pile amounted at last to $500, 900, when
the millionaire called his opponent.
When the Minister laid down his four
kings the banker put his straight flush
beside them without a word. The Min
ister seemed little surprised, but merely
said: Every good; the money is yours"
He had lost $500. 900. but it did not sour
him a bit. The game was not resumed,
but he talked as pleasantly as if he had
won fortune instead of losing one.
The banker seemed embarrassed, and
his friends, who had dropped out of the
game. were uncomfortable. He decided
on the spot that it would not do to have
any more poker-playing in his house.
1t might be said that he drew his friends
there TO fleece them He still plays a
little game now and then, but only at the
club.-N. 2. Post.

The Manufacture OF Sheet Lead in
China.

The making of sheet lead for the lin
ing of tea chests, etc. is somewhat i'm.
portant industry of Hong Kong. 1t is
made principally in sundry establish
ments to the westward. On entering
one, the worknen viii be seen with
shears employed in cutting out the sheets
of lead into the required sizes and shapes
The shears are simply a large pair of
scissors, firmly fixed to solid block of
wood some two feet in height. The
lower blade of the shears terminates in a
square piece of iron, instead of being
pointed, as is the upper blade. The
sheets of lead will also be observed to be
of small size and somewhat irregular in
shape, and this arises from the method
of manufacture. as will subsequently be
seen. Going further into the shop will
be seen an iron pan raised twelve inches
or so above the ground and carefully
finished off, Beneath this iron pan is a
furnace, and at the side of the pan next
the wall is a fiue communicating with it.
In this pan the lead is melted, and when
judged to be hot enough, the workman
takes two OF the large square paving tiles,
which may be seen almost anywhere in
the colony, and these are then smoothly
and carefully covered with several LAYERS
OF unsized paper. Having placed these
two tiles before him, one above the other,
the workman raises the upper tile with
his left hand and, taking a ladle of the
proper size, in his right, he dips it in the
melted lead and then pours it's contents
on to the lower tile. He then drops the
upper tile and quickly presses the lead
out into the form of sheet. The paper
being bad conductor of heat, the lead
does not solidify Immediately after it
leaves the ladle, and, as by long prac-
tice the workman always ladies' out ex-
actly the same quantity of lead. the sheets
vary but little in size or thickness.-4q

Why TWAS Discontinued.

The post Office at Iron Rod, NJ T., has
been discontinued, and the explanation
is thus given by an officer of the depart
ment: "a post-office agent, while Of
cially visiting various offices in Montana
for the purpose of correcting any irreg-
ularities of postmasters, stopped at Iron
Rod. Going into the postoffice he found
the room divided into three sections
