A Very Sad Case.

A society young man met nice young
lady and her two sisters at watering
place this summer, and at the close of
the season she gave him her address and
said she would be delighted to have him
call when he returned to the city. He
called on the very first opportunity that
offered, and feeling liberal, and dollar
in his pocket, he invited the young lady
down to the ice-cream saloon. ..And
tell your sisters to come along" he adj
ded, with Vanderbiltian air. The nice
young lady went to another room and
called: MARY, Julia, Maggie, Sophie,
Sallie, Flora and Dora come here"
s.Great Scott p mentally exclaimed the
young man, feeling the solitary dollar in
his pocket; .'has she more than two sis
tiers, or have struck female seminary"
1t was too true-she had a generous sup
ply of sisters, and when the young man
heard her say, as the maidens came
waltzing into the room, "Come. girls,
Mr.. Litehed is going to treat us to ice
cream-put on your hats" he rushed
from the house raving maniac, and
now wears straws in his hair and
imagines himself President of Vassar
College. Judge.

A SOmnambuliStie Prisoner.

In the Davidson County Jail is con-
fined a man on the charge of murder
whose name viii not be mentioned, the
american not wishing to prejudice his
case. The prisoner in question is given
to somuambulistic habits. When the
bells of the city usher in midnight the
prisoner arises from his couch in a
ste<hy and noiseleSs manner, creeps
out to the door of the cell and scrutinizes
the hall, or as much of it as can be seen
through the door, and also every corner
of his narrow apartment, as if intent
upon satisfying himself that no one is in
the vicinity. He then proceeds to take
a cotton shirt and fills the body of it
with the covering of the bed. also stulling
tile arms full. He places this in one cor
ner on chair and puts upon the top of
it a hat. Having arranged this to suit
him, the somnambulist with noiseless
tread walks over to the place where
broom is kept and grasps it as if it We're
a gun. creeps with a catlike tread upon
the figure in the chair. The man.
euyre consumes considerable time. the
sleeper apparently acting as if he was
engaged in picking his way through
brush or low timber.
Having arrived at point from which
a good view can be commanded, he
coolly and deliberately raises the broom
in right angles to his shoulder. After
taking a long aim he goes through the
same motion that one would in firing a
gun. He then approaches the chair,
picks up the dummy and carries il to
the remote corner of the cell. He then
goes down on all fours and goes through
the motion of digging with his hands.
Having dug until the hole is large
enough he places the stuffed shirt in it
and carefully covers it up, stamping the
floor of the cell as if he was pressing
down uneven ground. He then scat
tiers over it an armful of leaves, which
he goes through the process of gather
ing from the different portions of his
cell.
The work concluded to his satisfac-
ton, the sleep-walker conceals the broom
under his bed, as if hiding & gun. He
then washes his hands. examines his
clothes carefully, as if to see il there was
any blood upon them, and resorts again
to his couch, to sleep quietly until morn
ing. The prisoner, when informed of
this strange freak in his waking mo-
ments denies all knowledge of the oc
currenee.-Nashvtlie (7enn,) An,ert

A Boys Pistol Of Fifty Years Ago.

Week before last Titus Darlington,
carpenter, in tearing down portion of
the farmhouse of Taylor Hopes, of
West Goshen Township. Chester County,
in order to enlarge the building. came
across large-sized horse pistol that had
been lost for fifty years. In 1882 Taylor
Hopes and his brother Lewis, the latter
now deceased, purchased this pistol from
a gunsmith in West Chester, named
Emanuel Goshen, for two dollars and
fifty cents--cheap enough, considering
the size and quality of the weapon. Ben
iamin Hopes, the father of the boys,
who were then about sixteen years of age,
did not approve of the lads having so
dangerous a plaything MIR. Hopes was
a wise man-so the boys concluded to
keep ..Old Diamer,' as they named
their miniature cannon, rs much out of
parental eyesight rs possible, and they
hid it away in the loft of the house over
the collar beams, between partition and
wall. TO have it convenient for use,
they male little wagon, in which they
placed ..Old Diamer,' powder-horn
and small bag of shot. To the wagon
they attached string, and they lowered
and pulled up the artillery wagon, gun
and ammunition when they wished to
use them, or hurry them out of sight of
the .'old man." But one day the rope
broke-whether the old gentlemen was
hunting the boys too close we cannot
say-and down to the bottom of the par
tition went wagon. pistol and all, with q
crash that sent sadness to the very bot
tom of the hearts of Taylor and Lewis.
After fishing for hours day in and day
out with pole and a hook. with the hope
of catching the wagon and drawingit up,
they abandoned the task and gave up
their treasures as lost. When the car
penters tore down the building, Taylor
Hopes, who is now man on the shady
side of life, stood by, thinking of "Old
Diamer." Board after board was taken
down and the little ammunition wagon
at last came in sight, and in it lay '.Old
Diamer," the powder and shot, all in the
same good condition, with the exception
of a little rust on the pistol, as they were
the day they so suddenly went from the
sight Of the boys half century ago. Mr..
Hopes rubbed the pistol with little
oil, loaded it with the old powder, and,
in honor of the occasion, shot it off with
a report that made the Goshen hills echo.

NJ. Kemphill's Breakfast.

NJ. Kemphill, in Paris, invited three En-
glishmen, with whom a few days previous.
ly he had struck up an acquaintance IN
London, to breakfast with him. Just as
breakfast was over NJ. Kemphill excused
himself for moment, as he had an en-
gagement to meet a person who was to
pay him 10000 francs. When he re-
turned two of his guests had gone, while
the third was awaiting him.

"Yes; here it is" said Mr.. Kemphill,

The stranger uttered a cry of alarm.

the breakfast, which cost hundred
francs.-Quiz.

SuperstitiOn's Victim.

A colored man of Camle N. j., be.
ing out OF employment, consulted
black sorceress who had agreed to obtain
for him, for trifling two dollars, a place
in q warehouse. She gave him a white
powder and instructed him to scatter
some of the same upon the floor of the
warehouse, when he made application
for a job, and to repeat these words:
" As the dead remain, so let them be, i'm
the name of the Father, the SON and the
Holy Ghost" When the poor fellow
sprinkled the powder. As he had been
directed, one of the warehousemen
roughly asked him why he was soiling
the floor? The question so startled him
that he jerked out: "Nuffin, l want
job. Let de dead stay where they be in
de name OF de Fadder, Son an Holy
Ghos'r' The charm was broken and no
employment was obtained. He again
sought the negro witch. She told him
again, for two dollars, that he must walk,
without food or drink, from Market
Street ferry, Philadelphia, to Sixty-fifth
Street and back, and he would be made
the President of great railroad. The
deluded wretch did as he was told. He
walked a mile further. With blistered
heels and cavernous stomach he returned
to Camden, and under close questioning
from his oracle confessed that he had
walked the additional mile. Again was
the charm broken. To do penance for a
disobedience of instructions he again set
out upon a longer tramp than the one to
Siyty-fifth Street, and for additional
safety he carried around his neck toad's
heart hanging by string. This time
he ate two cents worth of bread. Again
was the spell broken. 1.-The spirits of
the air, the sea and the planets say that
you have deceived them and you are
undone," cried the wizard when she
heard the third confession. Den,
gimme back dat yer money-gimme
cash." cried the colored man. Z" Fse
sore in de feet and sore in de back, and
l amt President yet" He hied him to
a justice and caused the sibyrS arrest,
and she was fined for obtaining money
by fraud committed in protesting to
work charms by occult and crafty sci
ence. The credulous Senegambian had
lingering hope that he would have a
partial success at least in his endeavors,
and continued to practice one other
charm. He swallowed three grains OF
sand regularly every three hours, saying,
as he did so: '.As the dead remain, 1
shall live and prosper. Amen" At
last accounts he was still swallowing
sand. -PhiLIielptid Press.

Beetles, Etc., as Jewels.

Insects have always been used more OF
less in decoration, especially in Brazil,
where the richly-colored beetles of the
the country are affected as articles of per.
sonai adornment. Recently in a Union
Square jewelry store monster beetle
was on exhibition, having been sent
there for repairs. 1t was alive. and
about its body was delicate gold band.
locked with minute paddock; q gold
chain attached it to the shawl of the
owner Sometimes they are worn upon
the headgear, their slow, cumbersome
movements preventing them from at
tracing great attention. They are valued
at from $50 to 800 apiece. Snakes,
the rich green variety so common in
New England, are worn by some ladies
as bracelets, while the gorgeous reptiles
are often initiated in gold and silver,
with eyes of diamonds, rubies or black
pearls. Gold bears are the proper
thing now for pins. In the East the
chameleon is often worn as a head orna-
ment, the animal rarely moving and
forming at least picturesque decora-
ton, with its odd shape and sculptured
outlines. Various other reptiles, as small
turtles, alligatOrS, etc., are pressed into
service. The curious soldier-crab has
been used as a pin. Placed in box
with a rich pearly shell prepared for the
purpose, it will change houses, and
then, secured by gold or silver chain,
roams about the wearer, waving its
red and blue claws in warlike man.
ner. Birds are. perhaps, more COM
monty used as natural ornaments than
any other, and cloak of the skins of
humming birds is one of the most mag
nificent objects to be imagined. One, of
rare species, was once sold in Europe
for $4,000. Single birds are often worth
800 or $500. A cloak of the skin of
the great aux would bring $4,000 or
$4,000. Some of the most beautiful
phea SAINTS are extremely valuable
worth their weight in gold. Tiger claws
are used in the decoration of hats, and
are extremely valuable and hard to OBJ
tain.
Within ten years the alligator has be-
come an important factor of the artistic
manufacturer. The hide, by new pro-
cess, is tanned to an agreeable softness
and used in innumerable ways. The
most costly bags and trunks are made
from it; pocket books, card cases, dining
room chairs are covered with it, and it
has been used as dado on the library
wall of well-known naturalist. 1t
makes an excellent binding for certain
books. Among fishes the shark provides
skin used in variety Of ways. The
shagreen of the sharks ray is of great
value. Canes are made of the shark s
backbone, the interstices being filled
with silver or shell plates. Sharks
teeth are used to decorate the weapons
of various nations. The magnificent
scales, nearly four inches across and
tipped with seemingly solid silver of
the giant herring, are used, while scales
of many of the tribe have long been
used in the manufacture of artificial
d earls.-M y. Post.

An Artful Engineer.

While Gen. Malone was President oil
the East Tennessee Road, one of the
engineers had a fireman put on him that
he did not like, so he resolved to get rid
of him. One day, just after the first
trip, the fireman and the engineer were
discussing Gen. Malone, and the fire.
man remarked that he felt like giving
the General good '.cussing."
"Why don't you do it, them" re-
marked the engineer.
"Yes, and get fred" sententiously
said the fireman.
"Not much,'' replied the engineer.
'You can never get along on this road
until you cusS Malone. 1 cussed him
out for every blankety blank thing thas
has happened since he was in charge, and
have got along all right"
The fireman concluded he would do the
same thing. So the next trip to Rich
mond he went to Mahone's Office and
heaped on him such torrent of abuse
that nearly took his breath away. Ma
hone heard him through, and then told
the fireman to come and get his money
after the next trip. There seemed to be
hitch somewhere. Things seemed to
be different from what he expected. so he
went to consult his friend, the engineer.
You darn fool" shouted the latter,
.'vou didn't cuss him to his face, did
your
'.Of course did," the fireman said,
"didn'tyou tell me that you did the
same thing?'
..No, not by blamed sight," adding
some words that contained not very
complimentary allusion to the heated
flames of the lower regions; 'why, when
l cussed Malone, he was in Richmond
and 1 was in Bristol, and gave him
good cussing, too"
Well, the fireman got bounced, and
the engineer was made suddenly and
happy.-Nashuiite american.

Houses on Poles.

For the benefit of any who may be cast
upon the hospitable and kindly feelings
of the natives along the northern shores.
1 would most earnestly recommend that
some token of appreciation be offered to
the natives of st. Lawrence Bay. Flour.
tobacco, calico, drill, lead, indeed, almost
any article or articles of usefulness would
not only be duly appreciated. but would
insure the further extension OF that hos
pitality and protection which to the cast

They vary in thickness from seven to
eight inches to as many feet.
visited the habitatiOns Of the natives
of Kings Island, in the Arctic Ocean, a
curious people who live upon precio-
itous hillside as no other people live.
The houses are erected upon poles. The
entrance to each is effected through
hole in the front wall about fourteen
inches in diameter. Having clambered
through this entrance, one finds oneself
in a room about eight feet square, which
is the common living room of each house.
From the sides of this room are found
several apertures similar to the main one
of entrance, which lead to as many
sleeping apartments. The appearance
presented by these houses is, to say the
least. unique. and more strikingly so by
reason of their great contrast with those
of the usual Indian village, which is
always built on low sand spots.
The principal means Of livelihood of
these natives are fishing and walrus and
seal hunting. To these people, the wal
rus is the more important animal, mas
much as from its hide and intestlnes
they obtain the covering for their houses
and boats, and the ivory they sell to
traders is the most valuable article IN
demand. The necessities of their posi-
ton have stimulated such inventions and
developed such superior workmanship
as to cause their articles of manufacture
to be the most greatly priced of any along
the coast.-Report to the Nary Departs

The Late Josiah Quincy.

Mr.. Josiah Quincy is dead at ripe
old age. He has been during all his life a
prominent figure in Boston, and his name
is connected with some of the most USE
full improvements and beneficient enter
prises of the last half century. In his
early life he was for a long time the
most popular gentleman In the city. He
was in request whenever grace and tact
and wit in a presiding officer were re-
quired. 1t was during his Mayoralty
that the great project of Introducing the
water of Lake Cochituatc was carried
into effect He was the originator Of
several of the most important improve
ments along our water front. In his
later life his services were given to the
State in connection with. the Harbor
Commission, of which he was long the
Chairman, and they were exceedingly
valuable. Still later he has been the
most prominent advocate and the strong
est supporter of the movement to secure
homes to the poorer classes by the CO.
operative plan of building associations.
He was pre-eminently a philosophical
man, not always successful in his under
takings, either for himself or for those
who relied on his judgment, but always
Jealous in whatever he undertook, al
ways fully convinced of the wisdom of
his far-reaching plans, and ever cheerful
in time of disaster and defeat His wit
and humor and the buoyancy of his spir-
its have been proverbial. and his unfail-
ing urbanity of manner gave pleasing
stateliness to his presence and address.
