HE WASN'T EXACTLY IN
RIDING TRIM.

A countryman, riding one mule and
leading another, passed along road
leading into the city, and overlook
gang of negroes, when the following con-
versation took place between him and
one of the party:
''Boss, lemme ride dat mule ?"
(which mule r.
''De bare back"
"All right, you may ride him; and if
you keep on quarter of mile I will
give you five dollars"
''Whoop, golly He's a rid mule.
boss !" The darkey slammed his hat on
urIo grouno. UsIulEIU rIrp, yoe,
niggers. A lift was given him, but as
his leg struck the mule she went out
from under him. eyer thinks yer's
smart, don't yer? Whoa, mule !" The
mule was facing him and pulling on the
lines like observation-disclosures stur-
geon. ''Here, niger, gimme annuder
lift. He's rid mule, sure" This time
they threw him on top, ,-and he locked his
legs. There was a tussle. The mule
shuffied. Waltzed and cut pigeon
wing. Finally she ended by jumping
up into the air and landing with all her
feet together. The darkey shot into the
air ten feet, and fell like a paralyzed
buzzard AS he raised himself up on
his elbow he remarked: 81 kin ride dat
mule, but l amt 'zaely in riding trim
to day."

GOLD KENTUCKY HOME"

Next to the words of ones mother, the
songs or music one has loved in life are
the surest visitors to his last moments.
The Troy n. I. Times gives this pathet-
ic incident. A company of negro Minis.
trels were playing in London, and were
softly singing one night to crowded
house the chorus in "Old Kentucky
Home"
When the last notes melted away q
strange looking figure advanced few
steps from his seat in dark corner, and
the auditors were startled at hearing q
voice say earnestly and distinctly
''Sing the dear old song again-siug
for me. I'm listening hard, boys, aud
every word is a friend to me; home to
me-everything. Say, Will you sing it
Just once more2"
1t was the figure and voice of an old
minstrel, who left this country several
years ago, and after playing in Australia
made his way, broken-down old man,
to London. Here he supported himself
by playing the banjo, but generally eked
out a miserable existence.
The minstrels sang the chorus again,
and the figure sank back into its seat.
When the audience dispersed it re-
NAMED motionless, and when an attend
ant came to rouse the old man he found
he was dead.

A FAITHFUL WIFE.

1t is true saying that "In women
alone can friendship be found in the full.
ness of perfection" Phrenologists have
observed thai the organs of the social af-
fections, which give rise to the sentiment
that "woman loves and loves forever"
are larger in females than in males. The
mother will cling to her wayward son,
after he has violated the commandments
of God and laws of his country, and with
voice ''sweeter than ten thousand harps
Turned to angelic harmony" plead at the
throne of the Almighty, and to an earthly
tribunal for the par5on and forgiveness
OF his offences. To show the strength of
woman's love we publish the following
thrilling account of faithful wife:
The following story, says The Wash
inston Capital, is true in every detail: A
milliner of responsibility married dissi-
pated tailor, who abused, neglected and
abandoned her. Several years having
passed without any clew to his where.
abouts, her friends advised divorce and
her acceptance of an advantageous offer
OF marriage. The woman persistently
declined every offer, and when she had
accumulated sufficient sum started off
In the direction her husband was suppos-
ed to have taken when he left her.
AT Halifax, N. S., she received slight
clew, and took the steamer to Portland,
Ne. Thence she followed him back to
New York, where she ceased for many
months to hear from him. Finally she

which place she Immediately started. She
was about week too late; he had been
discharged for drunkenness. Spending
her days il lucrative work her evenings
at detective service, the unwearying wife
at length discovered that he was employ
ed by large firm in Chicago. She wrote
there, and was answered that her hus-
band had gone away, nobody knew
where. Not satisfied with this, she tray
eled to that. city and ransacked every con-
cefn interested in the tailoring business
th5re, until she met fellow -countryman
who said that her husband when last
heard from was in Omaha. She wrote
there, got no answer, but went on. There
she heard that he had certainly left for
San Francisco, where be had obtained
fine place as cutter in large firm. She
OF course went thither, only to be told
that her husband had been several days
away from work, and was drinking hard.
Es had not even been to his boarding
hoase. This led her to visit the station
houses, and in ono of them she ascer-
tanned that her husband was in 1ail for
fssa davs. He was released aud prevailed
upon to return home after a six years
absence. All this occurred eighteen
years ago, and to-day the prodigal hus-
band of yore is a strict temperance man,
in Independent circumstances. a model
husband and father, and respected citi
zen.

SCHOOLS OF THE CIRCUS.

March st. Nicholas: When, at the be-
ginning of an exhibition season. after
passing the managers inspection, an ath-
lete of any kind gets into the ring, he re-
presents vast amount of hard and
thoughtful labor and instruction. He
has beed in 'twinter quarters" of some
kind, but he has also been at ''school,
and tie younger he is, the more he has
had to endure from exacting and often
severe teachers. The largest show and
more enterprising showmen often set up
schools of their own, connected, it may
be, with the establishments wherein they
keep and train their quadruped perform
ers. In every such school of the circns
there is good deal of machinery. as well
as an experienced professor of the art of
doing impossible things. There are kept
on hand every kind of gymnastic appara-
tus for the development of activity and
muscular strength. These latter vary of
course, with the nature of the lessons the
pupil is learning, and at last he is con-
fronted with the very things he is to en-
ploy in the presence of watching crowds.
By the pitiless severity meted out to
all needless failures made in the presence
of his exacting trainer, the ''school-mas-
ter" he is made to understand at an ear
ly day that he must never make failure
in the presence of paying spectators.
The trainer represents the keen-eyed
public, and also the demands of his en-
ployer, the manager, and he must give
good account of the time and money ex-
pended upon the school. If any boy
should be seized with Clever" to dis
tinguish himself in the s'ring," nothing
would be so likely to cure him as a week
or so under careful and faithful teacher
in winter school for the circus. In SO
cases out of 100, the scholar would for
ever afterward be contented to remain
outside the rope circle.

THE WOLF AND THE PEASANT.

One day peasant who was laboring
in his field was surprised at receiving a
visit from wolf, and he was about to
rush for his gun when the wolf called
out:
"Hold on, my friend, my visit is one
of piece. I haye come to have serious
talk with you"
''But you killed one of my sheep only
last week" protested the peasant.
$50 did. and that is the very matter
I have come to talk about. L have felt
conscious strinken ever since that event,
and have firmly decided to kill no more
sheep"
"Well, l am glad to hear it, and I
hope you will stick to your resolution. :"
''Oh, 1 certainly shall, and 1 hope you
will give me due credit in the future"
The wolf took his departure with a
sweet bow and melting smile, and the
peasant softly scratched the back of his
neck and did heap of thinking. That
night he placed large trap at the weak
point in his calf-pen. and next morning
he found the wolf held firm and fast.
Excuse my embarrassment" began
the wolf as the peasant appeared, "but
why did you move this trap from the
sheep-foldl"
Because, replied the peasant, as he
hunted around for club, experience
has taught me that wolf who is tired of
mutton is simply working up an appetite
for veal"

THE URBANE OWL.

The following note was received shortly
before his death from the Hon. Grantly
F. Berkeley: 81 am at present studying
the amount of affection in owls for man.
have brown owls, white owls, horned
owls, and that mysterious lesser owl, the
sparrow-owl, about the size of thrush.
These are in pairs in large separate wire
ayiaries, wings uncut, with room to fly
about. As regards the horned owls and
the lesser owls, there was good deal of
suspicion to wetch things just at first.
The lesser owl being the least acquaint-
ed with the habits of man was, for that
reason, the easiest to tame. [ give You
that queer fact. / have only had these
lesser owls during this spring. The hen
bird is sitting in her selected box with a
hole in it, on three eggs. Dump, as we
call her, will let me or my head keeper
put our hands in, and take the eggs
from under her, and replace them again,
without the least anger or alarm. Her
mate, whose name is Toby, will, if ask
him to do so, dance with me IN the fnn-
niest way possible, or with my parlor
maid, for whom he also seems to have
taken fancy. His dance, between every
two different steps, is the complete turn
of the waltz, but the quaintness of his
executed eyolutions and the grace he
assumes are inimitable. Then in point
of urbanity comes the horned owl, then
the brown owl, and last, the white owl,
who has the most experience of the
malevolence of man, and therefore the
least trust in him."

THE Custom House officers In Moscow
recently opened several cases of men 8
hats which had been lying for some time
IN the depot unclaimed by the consignee,
whose address could not be found. On
opening the cases, suspicion was excited
by the unusual weight of some of the
hats, which, on examination, were found
to have double crown, the space be
tween the real and false crown being fill
ed with explosive material, which, on
being thrown to the ground, would have
the effect of bomb. The authorities are
making an investigation, which, how
ever, has been without result.
