Profitable Liberality.

A lot of Boston tourists, were recently
travelling in sleeping car, also u Neva-
da traveller. In the morning when the
porter went round to collect his assess
ments on bootblacking there was great
commotiOn among the Boston tourists.
Some paid him five-cent nickel, and
those who had no nickle were compelled
to yield up short bits. All the while the
Nevada man, dressed in ordinary clothes,
sat reading his newspaper. When the
porter reached him he looked up in
quiringly.
"Did you black my boots, sir?"
"Yes, sah."
"You did q splendid job: never had
my boots BACKED so well before on this
line. Here's three dollars"
When the porter pocketed the money
the Boston people looked up astonished
and presently it was rumored about thai
John Mackey was aboard or Enoch
StrOther was out on a campaigning trip
In few minutes the Nevada man anC
the porter met (by chance) in the smok
ing-rOom.
when does my sleeping ticket run
out?'
Your time was up, sab, at Ogden
but if you want to ride to Reno, boss,
it's all right, sab. "
The traveller gave the darkey drinl
out of black bottle, and the portel
winked continuously for nine second,
as he drank the travellers health.

A Cleveland lady, who has been
mourning" the loss of pup for some
months. met another lady in the park
the other day with the lost pug trottin@
by her side. A dispute arose between
them about the brute, which grew very
hot and attracted quite a crowd. Fin
ally, to end the matter, the pOssessOr of
the pup told the original owner that her
husband had given it to her rs Il souv-
enir. The husband left for Dakota the
next morning to be gone all summer.
A vivid impression Of the sudden fury
of the Southern cyclone is conveyed by
this brief statement of Mr. b. +. Jones,
of Beauregard. Miss, who, the moment
he saw the danger coming, called his
wife and little boy into the yard and
made them lie flat on the ground. and
grasp some small shrubs which stood
within reach; .Iput one arm around
my Wife" says MIR. Jones. '.while with
the other clasped a small tree, and
made nv son lie close up To me, and
then said to them. Hold on, hold on,
for Gods sake! 1t is for life! and then
the wind came. There was whirl and
a roar. was shaken and heard the
crash of my falling house. An instant
and it was over. | still held my wife
in my arms, but she was insensible. and
my boy was still Nesting close up to me,

to Mr.. Jones presence of mind and the
prompt obedience of his wife and child.
