The 1--WE Old Bachelors.

Two old bachelors were living in one house,
One caught mulHn, the other caught mouse;
Said he who caught the muffin 20 him who
'lThIs happens just in time, for we've nothing
save a tiny slice of lennon and . teaspoonful
And what to do for dinner-since we haven't
And what can We expectif we haven't any din
1er,
But to lose our teeth and eyeiashes and keep
Said the one who caught the mouse to him who
I'VE might cook this little mouse II we only
II we had but sage and onion we could do en-.
But how to get that stufnn' 1t is difacult to
tell"
These two old bachelors ran quietly to the
And asked for sage and onions as they wan
dered upand down,
was 70 be found
In the shops or in the market or In all the gar
dens round.
But some one said, ga hill there is little to
And 70 its perpendicular top marrow way
leads forth,
And there among the rugged rocks abides an
ancient sage,
An earnest man, who reads all day most per-
Picking page.
Climb up and seize him by the toest ell studi-
GUS rs he sits,
And pull him down and chop him into endless
little bits;
Then mix him with your onion. cut up likewise
into scraps,
When your stnfnn win be ready, and very good
perhaps"
Those two old bachelors, without any loss of
time,
The nearly perpendieuiar erags at once began
to climb,
And at the top among the rocks, all seated in a
nook,
They saw that sage a-reading OF most enor-
nous book.
You earnest Sage" aloud they cried" your
book you've read enough in,
We wish to chop You into birs TO make you In

But that old Sage looked calmly up and with
his awful book,
At these two bachelors bald heads q sudden
aim he took;
And over crag and precfpice they rolled promis-
cuous down,
At once they rolled and never stopped, in lane
or field or town,
And when they reached their house they found
(besides their want OF stuffn)
The mouse had fed and previously had eaten
up the muffin.
They left their home in silence, by the once
conyivial door.
And from that hour those bachelors were new
or heard of more.

replied that if he would pay the expenses
of q divorce suit she would consent. The
cost was about $50, and the old man put
up. Mrs. Keller obtained the divorce
few days ago, and yesterday packed her
baggage and started for Mendoza, where
she was married to Mr.. Cowan. The affair
is decidedly romantic, and illustrates love
at first sight, as only few weeks have
elapsed between the ove-making and the
marriage Mrs. Kelleris blushing grass
widow of forty summers, and Mr.. Cowan
has only seen his youthful bride once, but
the gushing love letters have told the tale,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Cowan are one flesh.

Indra Black Before The

Judge Black Before the Supreme Court.
The following joke is related at the
expense of Judge Jerry Black while he
was arguing the McGarrahan case be-
fore the Supreme Court, in Washington,
some years ago:
One day, while speaking on some
motion, Black discovered at the close of a
two hours Grafton, that the entire bench,
including the Chief Justice, was sound
asleep. Much incensed, he gathered up
his papers and left the room. Meeting
the Chief Justice at dinner at Secre-
! tary Fish's that evening, Black angrily
commented on the occurrence.
| why, my dear Judge" said Mr.
| Chase, with surprised expression, 81
thought you would be the last man on
earth to object to such thing. The
fact was that all the Justices were so
| fatigued from the Presidents reception
last night, that this morning we consult
| ed together and agreed to hear you on
some motion or other, so that we could
all enjoy good, square nap. We sup
posed you had been on the bench for so
long that you'd know how it was your

he was asleep, too!'

| Chief Justice, much vexed. Il always

dear Judge, we will haze to rely on the

Loss of Ships.

Official records show that last year
the loss of shipping under the British
flag was 800, 100000; of steamships
alone ia were lost. aggregating 151, 900
tons. Out of the whole total of lost
steamships 1856 stranded, 80 sunk
by collisions, 40 foundered, burned, IL
are missing" 6 were abandoned at
sea, 2 sunk by ice, l broke in two, and
/ was destroyed by exposure, IL were
loaded with grain and % with coal.
Total loss of life was / ,459. The great
est loss for one month was in October,
when 30 vessels passed out of existence.
The total loss of vessels of all classes
and nationalities was 2,030, or at the
rate of over five per day. while the loss
of life was four per day. From these
figures it will also be seen that a British
steamer was lost between every second
and third day during the entire year. 1t
will also be noticed that while 90 British
steamers stranded, in all parts of the
world where it is reasonably sure to as
sert that there are dangers, and 30 were
sunk by collisions due TO fogs, thick
weather, and erring in Judgment, there
were forty which foundered, owing to
overlooking, bad stuwage, structural
weakness. breaking down of machinery,
ETC., and six were abandoned at sea be-
cause they were unseaworthy, and one
broke in two.

when towels are washed, the fringe is

served for long time. If vigorously

erwise 1T is best to have the laundress
whip the fringe over the clean back of a

any combing process. Besides, it does
not wear the fringe SO much.
The linen bag.-An excellent plan to
save old napkins and table-cloths is to
cut out the good parts and put them
away in bag, appropriately labeled,
and have them ready for use in case of
sickness. A housewife whose system is
so complete that it is hard to believe
that she has lived on earth only about
forty years gives this advice, and she
says also that we should keep another
bag with pieces of flannel, and another
with old cotton cloth. for the same pur-
pose.

not of self, or even Of this world. These
BOYS knew what the value of one penny
was. They earned their bread by max
ing pennies in season and out of season.
They were what men on the street would
call "a hard lot But they had hearts,
and their hearts, at this time, at least,
were in the right place.
A moment more and Jake and his
partner We're lost to them and were
slowly ascending the rickety stairs.

as the two BOYS entered the room in
which she was, and looked round.
They saw crouching figure at the
fire-a thin, cherries fire it was. They
saw two pretty, pale-faced little girls
sobbing in each others arms.
And they saw something else A board
stretched across two chairs, and figure
that did not stir, under white cloth.

and drawing a long breath, "Tonyss

and he looked pale, and tears were in
his eyes.
Jake, left thus to his own resources,

over to the fire, touched the woman on
the shoulder, and as she looked up, he
poured the money into her lap.
"a strange gentleman Civ some on it,
and we boys. too-all on as. We Civ it

then he turned, with blurred eyes, and
blindly felt for the door, and went down

A hush fell upon them. They stood
silent moment, looking at the red eyes
of the two ''pardners."
Then without asking what had been
done with the money, with hushed voices
they expressed their surprise and rough
sympathy. and turned and went back to
the busy streets.
Death had cast its shadow upon them.
But their hearts had felt the thoughtful
tenderness of human sympathy and love,

A RAMPANT srEER.

The familiar phrase of "bull in the
china shop" but steer in a meat shop is
something new. Yesterday afternoon one
of Conrad Grantz's steers got mad at boy
near Peter Schlenters butcher shop and
chased him into the shop, and then
proceeded to take the sausage and the
whole shop, and made it decidedly inter
esting forSthe inmates who bad business
elsewhere and proceeded Immediately to
transact it. leaving the steer to steer for
himself which he did in very artistic
manner. He weighed himself on the scales
and the balance dropped on the floor.
The steer, however, was doomed to pun
ishment and was knocked down and drag
ged out. The animal did considerable
damage and caused great deal of excite
ment among the residents Of the five
points.

MORE LIGHT.

Since the question of lighting the city
with electricity has come up the citizens
have taken considerable interest in the mat
ter and haye commented upon it a great
deal. The common opinion and desire is
that the city should be supplied with mere
light in some way. The Illumination is not
sufficient at present, such is the case dur
ing the FIRST part of night, and after IL
o'clock the gas is turned out. Various
opinions exists but there is one thing GER
tain Moline should be supplied with more
light and right away to, as the city is
growing and branching out every day. II
is to be hoped that something will be done
in regard to the Illuminating question i'm
