A Gigantic Drunk,

Jack Ryder tells good one of Girls
wold the well-known funny man. One
day Girls. was in Nashville and was
seized with fierce and uncomfortable
desire to get drunk, for Griswold, when
drunk, was absolutely the funniest of
all the humorists. Not knowing a
soul in town, Girls. walked up to the
bar of one of the most fashionable re-
sorts in Nashville and began talking to
himself rs if he had just met warm
friend; "Gris.," said he in q hollow
voice, Girls take drink"
"Oh! no, I've sworn off," he con-
tinued in his natural tones.
The imaginary man urged and
pleaded with Girls. to drink until he
yielded, and the bar-keeper, who evil
IDENTIFY took Girls. for crazy man, set
out one set of glasses. but the imagi-
nary man demanded two. Girls took a
glass in each hand, clinked them to-
gether, and with "Here's to you ole
fel," and "drink hearty on the part of
the imaginary friend Girls drained
both glasses. Then the imaginary man
urged Girls to sing q song, and after
demurring for some time Girls. con-
'sented and sang. This, of course, led
to another treat, and Girls. kept up the
circus for over an hour. BY this time Il
great gang of bloods had congregated
listening. and ut the end of the last
song they rushed up and grabbed Girls.
by the hand, and that night followed
the most gigantic drunk ever seen in

''At the outbreak uf the Franco-Prus-

600 a year for giving out his letters in
duplicate to newspaper printed 5000
miles away from the Times office.
"Mr. Russell, after accepting IN en-
gagement at $500 year to write for
the Sun, wrote to Mr.. Dana asking how
he should send his letters.
=" BY cable. was Mr. Dana's cable

critic.
''Now everybody knows that William
Howard Russell's letters, whether from
the Army of the Potomac or from any
other point. will average from 5000 to
10000 words, and Mr.. Russell, finding
himself engaged to telegraph so VOL

forthwith posted off for King William,

"Well, the old king pretended to be
surprised when Mr.. Russell entered his

notice of the approach of such man.

welcome you rs the most renowned of

into the trap. He dined with the king,

king inquired.

"'Oh! no! no! That would be Civ

Russell had telegraphed a line to either
of the two great journals. by which he
had been employed he might possibly
have been suspected of violating the
confidence of the king. He was trapped.
He necessarily became the kings his
torian of the war, and the London
Times and the New York Sun did not
get Il line from William Howard Rus
sell concerning the Franco-Prussan
war;
Meantime George w. Smalley, who,
as everybody knows. has been for years
past the London correspondent of the
Tribune, went to Paris, and engaged
corps of the smartcst reporters to be
found in that city, told them to skir-
mish around the armies, accept no
body's hospitalitics, get all the news
they could by hook and by crook, and
telegraph to him every night in Lon
don.

newspaper in London reproduced that

"RepeateR.

On the broad. cool piazzas Of many

the repeaters, Just now in full and I'M
checkable operation. Unlike the ere
peaters" of our grandfather's DAYS,
, those clumsy but fascinating timepieces
which told the hour only when asked
for it, the modern repeaters do not wait
for appeal-do not even wait for oppor-
tunity. but seek out time and place
with tireless pertinacity rs astonish-
ing as it is disastrous. They have not
the originality of the gossip. but to the
often thoughtless tittle-tattle of the gos-
sip they add renown peculiarly their
own, SO that words which seem but
thistle-down upon the summer air, come
feather-envenomed darts which cause
long fostering wounds.

and deliberated malice than the evasive,
purposeless, pulpless personality of the
generality of repeaters. There is moth
ing but TO avoid them; to keep out of
their way as one would shun a plague
stricken person. 1t is not difficult to
detect them. and it is impossible not to
encounter them. Any hopes of reform
ing them are as empty as air, since
their faults are inherent, the natural re-
suit of the lamentable constitution of
their minds. A repeater cannot be re-
formed, cannot be conquered, and is
only to be escaped by flight. The father
in the fable told his son: "The way to
fight snake is to run;'' and the same
method is the best and only safe one to
apply to repeaters. Boston Courier.

A Philosopher's Reflections.

"Life is too short to quarrel much,

When we get older we look back upon
life. There is very little of it, and we
ask. What is the good of it? Reflect

and shook hands and said: Now it's all

Hard Lines,

Some months ago Queen Margherita
of Italy, asked little girl to knit her a
pair OF silk stockings as birthday gift,
and gave her twenty lire to buy the ma
terial. The Queen forgot the circum-
stance till her birthday came, when she
was reminded of it by the arrival of a
pair of well-knit silk stockings and
makers best wishes. Not to be out.
done, Queen Margherita sent pair to
her young friend as return gift, one
stocking being full of lira-pieces and
the other of bonbons. They were ac-
companied by note: "Tell me, my
dear, which you liked best?' A reply
reached the palace next day: "Dear.
est queen: Both the stockings have
made me shed many bitter tears. Papa
took the one with the money, and my
brother the other. "-London Truth.

Cards in an Odd Ploc,.

"Clubs are trumps!'' Tha, is what
| heard in war time, in the lull between
two battles, away down in Chattanooga.
1t was IN old southern cemetery. 1t
was December day; the roses were
not gone, and butterflies. the symbols
of immortality, were slowly opening
and closing their large wings in the
last warm sunshine of the year. I
looked around, but nobody was in
sight. All was still. Again there came
a voice. THE ace of hearts takes the
trick!" At last 1 saw, little way off
a vault. Three steps led down to it,
and the door was ajar. Descending
the broken stairs. l put hand on the
unwilling door. 1t yielded, and a
curious interior was revealed. 1t was
q little room, dimly lighted, whose
only furniture consisted of coffins, and
around one of them that rested upon
trestles were three soldiers. There were
only four sound arms and five legs to
divide among them. They had pulled
two collins from the wall to serve as
seats, and they were in the midst of a
game of cards. They looked up an
instant and went on with the deal and
the play. Nothing equals the nonchal-
ance of veterans at the front, where the
hum of bullets is as familiar as the hum
of bees among the clover. looked on
a while, and then stepped up and out
into the free air. Near me was a small
marble lamb lying upon slab, mean
ing:
There is no flock, however watched and tended
But one dead lamb is there.
1t had lost IN ear by bullet, and
one of its feet was carried clean away.
So far it did not matter much, as it had
no possible use for the three that were
left it. Some idle musket. for want of
higher game, had made target of it.
The whole scene set off most strikingly
the quiet reverence for the dead of fifty
years ago.--ManhdttGn.
