just after the polls had closed ana
sealed the political fatc Of more than
one candidate whose chances 4 few dav4
before had been so bright, q worn-ou,
looking tramp entered a saloon where {
hilarious party Of men were drinking.
and dropping his bundle near the wall
he approached the bar and asked of a
man who seemed to be master Of liquid
ceremonies:
Say, who's elected?'
"Smitherton, exclaimed the man.
The tramp had just arrived in the city
and knew nothing of Arkansaw politics,
but he grasped the hand of the master
Of liquid ceremonies, and yelled:
"Shake, old pard. You bet I called
the turn. Never worked so hard for a
man in my life. Smitherton elected;
well, by George. Give me a sour
who else of our ticket is elected ?''
he asked Of the master.
"Blickshire.
well, by George. Well have to
take another drink on that. Blckshire,
by the-little Of the same"
The tramp's enthusiasm attracted at
tention and ardent men came up and
pressed his hand.
Say" yelled the follower of no par
ticular god Of ambition, "who was the
worst defeated on the other side?"
"Snackles.
"Snackles, well by the deuce. Oh,
but we've got 'em. Well have to drink
on his defeat. Some of the same" He
slapped the leader and struck the bar
with political enthusiasm. LET see,
he exclaimed, what was-what's the
majority conceded to-to-er, what was
the majority?"
"Of Nedson?"
Eyes, what was Nedson's majority?"
"Two hundred"
"Oh, by George, we've got 'em. Well
have to drink on that"
"On what?" exclaimed the master of
liquid ceremonies.
"On Nelson's majority"
why, you blamed fool, he was on
the other side"
"You misunderstood me. T mean
that if his majority is no more than 200
we can afford to drink"
Where do you ive?" asked the mas
ter.
Now listen to that. Ask an old citi-
zen where he lives. That's too bad.
Well have to drink on that"
Hold on. Don't be so rash. Are
you Democrat or Republican,"
Now I know Well have to drink"
Get out Of here" and the master
kicked the tramp over to his bundle
and then kicked him out of the house.
When the tramp met his companion a
few moments afterward he asked,
"What luck?"
None. I struck prayer-meeting.
Did you do anything?"
Il never fail. I struck a crowd of
my constituents and lushed. A man
never loses anything by keeping up with
the politics of the country. ."-Arhansa1v

ARlBTAN MANNEFS -4ND CUSTOMS.
An Arab On entering a house removes
his shoes but not his hat. He mounts
his horse upon the right side, while his
wife milks the COW on the left side. In
writing letter he puts nearly all his
compliments OF The outside. With him
the point of pin is its head, while its
head is made its heel. His head must
be wrapped up warm even in summer.
while his feet may well enough go
naked in winter. Every article of mer-
chandise which is liquid he weighs. and
he measures wheat, barley and few
other articles. He reads and writes
from right to left. He eats scarcely any
thing for breakfast, about as much for
dinner, but after the work Of the day is
done he sits down to a full meal SWIM
ming in oil, or, better yet, boiled butter.
His sons eat with him, but the females
of his house wait till his lordship is
done. He rides donkey when travel
ing, his wife walking behind. He laughs
at the idea Of walking in the street with
his wife, and of ever vacating his seat
for woman. He knows no Use for
chairs, tables, knives, forks, or even
spoons unless they are wooden or bone.
Bedsteads, bureaus and freplaces may
be placed in the same category. If he
be an artisan he does work sitting. per-
haps uses his feet to hold what his hands
are engaged upon. He drinks cold water
with a spoon, but never bathes ir
it unless his home be on the seashore.
He is rarely seen drunk, is deficient in
affection for his kindred, has little curl
osity and no animation, no wish to i'm
prove his mind, no desire to surround
himself with the comforts OF life.
TIE CLOCK SAID Hrs TINE Rad
COME.
The door bell of Portland physician
rang violently about midnight, and the
doctor, putting his mouth to the speak
ing tube, asked what was wanted.
II must see you right away" replied
the voice.
"But am sick and not able to attend
to business" said the doctor.
"No matter" said the voice, "I must
see you anyway"
The physician arose-it was bitter
cold and he was quite iIl-donned his
clothes and, proceeding to the front
door, let in, along with strong blast of
zero air, man and woman. Neither
looked very much out of health, but the
mans eyes rolled rather wildly and he
appeared somewhat disturbed.
"Well," said the physician, "what IS
the trouble?"
"The trouble! J" replied the man;
"trouble enough You see, Doctor, we
own an oel-fashioned clock that has
stood Oh our mantel-piece for years. It
has not been touched in all that time.
Its works are dusty and its case defaced
by time. Would you believe it, Doctor,
tonight after I had retired-that is. my
wife and I-all at once that old clock
started up and struck the hour of 12.
Of course, Doctor, that meant my time
had come, or warning that I must soon
die. What shall I do, Doctor?" and
the man moaned and rocked to and fro.
while the wife wept to see her husband
so affected.
The physician said he didn't see how
any prescription he could give would put
off the fatal hour, but the man insisted,
and finally the doctor gave him pre-
scription for bromide Of potassium. with
which man aud wife departed somewhat
consoled.

THE ENGLISH CH4LK LEDGEs

There are certain strange and mys-
terious excavations in the chalk lodges
OF Kent and Essex, in England, locally
known as "deck holes" and which have
long exercised the ingenuity of anti
quarians. The common people regard
them with superstitious awe as being
the work of denizens of another world.
The Essex Field Club has, however.
entered upon the work of exploring
these holes, and accounting for their
origin. The general opinion of
scientists seems to be that they are the
work Of prehistoric men, and that en-
largements of many of the original holes
have since taken place at a period when
iron picks were used.s It is suggested,
with much plausibility, that the prime
val races Of men who roamed over these
downs made these excavations in the
soft chalk as pitfalls to catch the game
which they were not slilfuI enough to
shoot with rude arrows.
