An Undiscovered Sense.

In a certain printing office in this city
there is a compositor who is deaf and
dumb. In the same printing Office there
are two other compOsitors who are en-
dowcd with the power of evolving ire
menduus sneezes when the spirit tickles
their noses. One OF them is a little,
short. chubby fellow, with a round, red
face. The grandeur of his sneeze is so
utterly disproportiOnate to the diminu-
tive size of his body that his fellow
printers refer to it as " a wrong font
sneeze' The other is a tan, raw boned
Yankee. who sneezes in the good old
down-east fashion Neither OF the two
compositors who sneeze works in the
same alley with the compOsitor who is
deaf and dumb, and the cases between
them are so arranged that he can not
see either of them Nevertheless. when
either of them snee 'es he always jumps
as though a cannon-ball were fired into
his ear OF course he cannot hear the
noise. The question for the scientists
is: How does he know just when to
Jump Boston Globe.

Lawyers and Editors.

If should charge the Press in the
same proportion that lawyers charge
for their time, 1 should get about a
thousand dollars for this letter. Here
is a case: Mr.. Z. L. White Gas lovely
a fellow as ever wrote a paragraph,
now the editor of the Providence Press,
and l were associated as correspond
ents of the New York Tribune. The
Alabama Treaty on whose provisions
two continents hung breathIessly, had
been signed and sent to the Senate.
This was many years ago. A copy came
to US as legitimately as any piece of
news comes into the Press office, but it
happened so that we could not tell
where it came from. We were brought
before the Senate and sent to a commit
tee, and we refused to answer and tel
where the treaty as printed in the J7G5-
1t1le came from. We were locked up
for about fortnight. The great public
was with US, and we had more applica-
tons for our autographs than we could
pay postage on, and we had cases of
wine, cases of brandy, demijOhns of
whisky, boxes of cigars, woOdcOck, ter
rapin, Canvasback ducks, flowers and
such things galore. Senators came to
our rooms for drinks and lunches, and
the whole thing from beginning to end
was a great joke. But-and here comes
the point-we were, of course, released
by tremendous majority of the Senate,
but there were certain legal points to be
disposed of. We had been indicted for
disrespect to the Senate, or something
of the kind. We engaged a lawyer, and
he went into court and asked that our
indictment be quashed. That was all,
and the Indictment was quashed. How

An Autograph with a Sting.

A Boston paper says that Rev. Brooke
HEREFORD, lately of Chicago, doesn't like
to be interrupted when he is busy writ
ing a sermon, and so the other day,
finding himself somewhat behlndhand
with his preparation for the coming
Sunday, he retired to his study, giving
explicit orders that he was not to be
disturbed by visitors, no matter who
might call. Pretty soon along came the
autograph fie-, that is, lady who was
collecting autographs and favOrite texts
of Boston preachers, for a charitable
object. She was so impOrtunate that
Mrs. HEREFORD at last went to the study
door and tapped. "Brooke?" eyes ?''
''There's lady downstairs, and -''
"But, my dear - 81 know, Brooke,
but she only wishes your autograph
and favOrite text, for dear charity's
sake" HerfOrd yielded, and dashed
down his name and the reference, l
Timothy, Is, on a sheet of paper. There
was a grim smile on his face as he hand
ed it to his wife. She took it down to the
visitor, and she, in turn, went away re-
joicing. But when, in reviewing her
treasures, she looked up Mir. HerfOrd's
text, she read: ''And withal they learn
to be idle, wandering about from house
to house; and not only idle, but tattlers
also, and busybodies, speaking things
which they ought not"
