A MORNING SCENE.

About eight o'clock one morning
a man smoking plug tobacco in an
old clay pipe walking out of a
Michigan avenue saloon with rat
in trap. He looked neither to
the right nor the left until he had
reached the middle of the street.
Then he placed the trap on the
ground and whistled for his dog.
If he had a dog, the animal did not
respond, but the public did. In
less than two minutes thirty men
were rushing to the spot.
:'Hi. there Don't let him out till |
get my dog?" shouted one.
Hold on! Wait for the dogs!'
yelled half dozen voices at once.

A DETERMINED SEARCH.

The captain of one of the ocean
lines of steamers, running from
Boston was called upon by Gus
tom House officer a few days ago,
who said he desired a word pri-
yately.
"What is it 2" interrogated the
captain.
My instructions are to search
your ship"
Search my ship" replied the as
tonished captain, ''what for ?''
"For $4,000 worth of silks which
it is reported at the Custom House
you have concealed in your ves-
sell
"All right said the captain, .'go
ahead and do your duty
First the contents of the cap
tain's cabin were overhauled, then
those of the officers, according to
rank, but no silk was found.
q guess, Captain, that there's no
need to continue the search any
further" suggested the Custom
House man.
'Yes, there is,'' added the cap
tain, "you say your orders are to
search this vessel. and fFm going to
see that you do it, or else / shall
make a formal report of your re-
fusal to do So"
Calling the first officer, he said
"You will please take this gen
tleman all through the ship and see
that he searches every nook and
corner where it is possible to hide.
silk. If he refuses to accompany
you, let me know
The search was continued in the
engine room, then into the fore
castle, and after two hours was
concluded in the coal bunkera,
from which the Custom House man
emerged covered with perspiration
and coal dust.
"Well, did you find anything p
mo, sir
..Of course you didn't, and you
never expected you would. Next
time you want to search my vessel
bring your authority along, or else
l shall think that you're trying to
bulldoze Inc. But you've got the
wrong man this time to experiment
upon. | hope this will be eau
ton to you in the future"
The Custom House officer has
kept the story to himself. The
captain of the vessel told it.

SEEKER.

Uneasy lies the head that wears
a post-ofice-or most any other
ocefi especially one that has poll
tics in it; more especially one that
comes from Washington, where poll
tics is studied as a game Of chess,
and every pawn and every piece
has to be moved to protect the king,
that is the President. The player
not only catches his adversaries and
sweeps them from the board, but
when the king is in danger he will
sacrifice his own men who have
been fighting faithfully, and sweep
them away too. It is wonder to
me that anybody will banker after
such a business. Before man
gets an Office he is doing something
that makes living for his family,
and he quits that, and breaks up
and loses his trade or custom and
begins to live on salary and feels
good for awhile, but suddenly he
goes overheard and has no trade or
custom to fall back on. In the
meantime his children are growing
mp, and have got new ways and
habits, because pa is in Office and
handles more money than he used
to, and they must step up a little
higher in society, and dress finer,
and give more parties, and take 8
more fashionable pew in the meet
ing house. And so when the fall
comes it is q hard one, and the poor
feller don't know what to do. He
can run q post-of1iee, or collect the
revenue, or get after the moonshin-
ers with alacr:ty, but post-offiees
don't lie around loose, and when a
feller looses one he can't pick up
another and keep on in the same

HIS GIRL.

Her eyes are lovely. 1 Won't tell
What hue their loveliness may show
Her braided hair becomes her well,
In color like bnt all, no! no!
That is my secret--red or brown,
1t is the prettiest hair in town!
She walks with such dainty charm
But whether she be short or'tall,
OF rounded limb or sylph-like form,
Her figure suits me-that is all
Nor do 1 choose the world to know
If silk her dress, or calico.
My precious girl is worth her weight,
Not in rough gold, but diamonds
fine,
And whether that be snail or great
leave the reader to divine.
Ask me to guage her solid worth
She would outweigh the whole round
earthl
To rhyme her praise is such delight
That 1 must keep it to myself,
Lest one should better verses write
And lay me gently on the shelf.
1 am not jealous, but you see
This charming girl-belongs te me.

He WANTED a BAKED EAGLE
Lieutenant Derby, the celebrated
.sJohn Phenix.'' was a great prac-
tical joker in private life, as is
well known. The following story
is told Of him by one of his oldest
friends.
He once stopped bakers wagon
on Kearney street, and, hailing the
driver, pulled out his purse and
told him he wanted to buy a baked
eagle.
The infuriated Dutchman told
him to 90 about his business and
not fool with men who had work TO
do.
..But if you don't give a baked
eagle" said Derby, you're liar
and a s&indler, and a common
thief"
This was too much for the Ger
man, and, rolling up his sleeves, he
prepared to get of the wagon and
mop the pavement with the lieu.
tenant. Just as he was getting
down the author Of the Phoenix
papers yelled:
.Hold on, my friend, perhaps I'm
wrong, but if you don't sell baked
eagles what in thunder do you
have Eagle Bakery written all OYER
your wagon for p

Teuton, and what might have ended

NELSON'S PRO4EGR.


and the English fleet lay at anchor
in Portsmouth harbor, awaiting the
admirars signal to start ont on a
cruise. The flag ship, a huge, for
midable ship Of the line, with its
dark sides bristling with guns, was
all in commotion. The admiral.
the most famous sailor of his day,
was coming off from the shore, and
the ship was ready to receive him.
Already the guns Of the squadron
were beginning to thunder forth
their welcome, and soon the vessel
was wreathed in smoke, and quiv-
ering beneath the discharges Of her
heavy ordnance, as Admiral Nelson
touched her deck, surrounded with
a brilliant staff. Standing near
the edge of the quarterback, and
watching the scene with intense
eagerness, was young lad of
about eighteen. He was dressed
simply, but neatly, and his cheeks
glowed and his eyes kindled, as he
watched the exciting events that
were going, on around him. AS he
returned the salute of the officers,
the admiral chanced to observe the
boy.
"Who is this o. he asked, turning
to the captain of the vessel.
'He's young lad that came on
board a few hours ago." replied the
captain. "He insists on seeing
you, sir, as he says he has some
thing of Importance to say to
you.''

"Yery well, then, Edward, / take

miral. Il shall expect you to prove
yourself worthy of the trust"
sTll do it, sir" said the boy, ear
nestly, as he moved asides respect
fully, to let the. admiral pass.
In two hours the Vanguard stood
out to sea, followed by the squat
ron, to join Earl st. Vincent at
Gibraltar. The young valet of the
admiral made decidedly fayora-
BILE impression On the officers of the
ship before the completion Of the
voyage.
a'Tis too bad" said the admiral
to his fag-captain, one day, that
thai boy should fill meniafs posi-

The captain agreed with his COM
mander, and the result of the mat
ter was, that, in a few days after
the arrival of the Vanguard at Glib
ralter, Edward Lee was given a
midshipman's warrant by Earl St.
Vincent, at the special request OF
Admiral Nelson.

THE RISE OF THE FLaNNEL
SHFET.

Within the last two years signs
of a movement have been noticed
which seems likely to cause a COM
plete revolution IN the matter Of
summer attire for men, and during
the present season it has gathered
SO much strength and volume that
its Importance cannot with justice
be any longer ignored. The intro
duetion of the flannel shirts as
substitute for the rigid-bosomed
cotton and linen abomination,
which has hitherto been regarded
as the test of responsibility, has
already met with considerable Ia
yor. and gained large measure Of
that popularity which it assuredly
deserves. It's singular that resi-
dents in this climate Of intense
summer heats, have not long ago
seen that a radical change in their
attire was necessary, and that, as
fer as all occasions of business or
pleasure at this season of the year
are concerned, the starehed shirt
might with good reason be packed
away in the same chest which con-
tains the winter oycrcoat and furs.
Not q single apology can be made
for this garment during the summer.
It does not adapt itself to 6he lang
orous attitudes into which the hu.
man figure allows itself to droop
during the heated term, the loading
of its bosom with starch renders
it imperyious to the air. the un-
named portions which depend be-
low the waist are of abnormal
length and mot easily to be disposed
Of when that every necessary arti-
Gle of attire, the trousers, is drawn
over them, while the rapidity Of
the collar and cuffs is simply un-
endurable by any man who has a
proper idea of comfort. For state
occasions the formal dinner and
the gibby whirl of the dance-if
people must indulge in such fes-
tivities during the summer-the
expansive white shirt-front is not
out of place, although we must con-
fess that the most picturesque and
enjoyable bali we ever attended
was, at o large seashore hotel,
where the young men for the most
part appeared in the knickerboekers,
flannel shirt, and loose jackets Of
the pedestrian and camper-out, or
the wkite duck and blue uniforms
of the yaehtsman, to dance with
the ladies in their cool lnuslins and
lawns. Where the conventional
shirts Of civilization falls short in
the balance, the merit of the fan
mel shirt prepondcrates. It sits
lightly and fexibly upon the figure,
conforms it selfto the movements
Of the wearer, permits the cooling
currents of the air to meet the body,
and cherishes instead Of chafes the
neck and wrists-in all of which
respects It is directly opposed to
its rival, which is about as comfor-
table ii summer as shirt Of chain
mail or the steel breastplate Of
warrior. Irthe matter Of
picturesqueness, also, the flannel
shirt has superior claims Boston
