The Courier Journal speaking Of
Hon. H. d. Money of our State,says:
"If Mr.. Tilden had been seated Mr..
Money would no doubt have been
rendered the Post Office portfolio in
the Cabinet.
We think the same thing would
have occurred in the event of Ham
cocks election, and will occur if we
elect Democratic President in 1884.
His peculiar fitness for the place is
generally recognized by both parties.

4 Criminal Museum.

A strange museum, not unlike that
private collection existing in the
Rogue's Gallery, is in the possession
of the officer Of police at Paris. It
consists of all sorts of implements
used in committing crimes, such as
revolvers, bullets, daggers, knives,
ropes, cudgels, and many articles for
which it would be difficult to imagine
the use, if NJ Mace, the exhibitor, did
not obligingly explain when and for
what purpose they have been employ
ed. Among other things there is a
collection of keys each forming a let
ter of the alphabet, which have served
a band of burglars in opening locks
of every description. The museum
also contains lot of photographs of
well-known criminals and representa-
lions of scenes of assassination.

Goshen and Mutt,

Barnum's giant was very much at
tached to little Commodore Mutt
When he heard of the dwarf's death
he wept and said, He has killed me
many a time. I used to be the giant
and he Jack the gIant-killer. Some
times we would change the parts, and
he would play the giant and [ would
kill him." One day the manager was
afraid that Mutt was drinking too
much, and imparing his usefulness
for the evening performance. So the
giant locked him up IN his room at
the hotel, but when he went to let
him out in the evening he was drunk
as a lord. The small man had slipped
some money under the door to the
hall-boy, and got him to bring him
some liquor and clay pipe. The boy
put the pipestem through the keyhole
and the Commodore stood on his toes
and got all the whisky he wanted
without having the door opened.

interior was revealed. 1t was little
room, dimly lighted whose only fur
niture consisted Of collins, and around
one of them that rested upon trestles
were three soldiers. There were only
four sound arms and five legs to di-
vide among them. They had pulled
two collins from the wall to serve for
seats, and they were in the midst of a
game OF cards They looked up an
instant and went on with the deal

one Of its feet was carried clean away.

How Il Pianist Avoided Duel.
Ct TanaS Goza.+a

A duel in which an eminent pianist
was to have taken leading part is
said to have been happily arranged
without loss of life or limb on either
side. An alteration had taken place
at Paris cafe between the said pianist
and a well-knOwn man of fashion :;
and it at least became so animated
that the latter offered the former his
card and accepted one in return. The
pianist waited at home next morning,
but heard nothing from his opponent.
The day afterward he met him by
chance in the street and expressed his
surprise at what had, or rather at what
had not taken place. Il asked you the
day before yesterday" said the
pianist's adversary, for satisfaction
and yesterday [ received it." How
so?" asked the pianist, more astonish-
ed than ever. Instead of visiting
card you gave me ticket for your
concert, was the reply. Il went to it,
heard you play and was more than
satisfied"

covering was nothing more or less
than an ordinary palm leaf fan of the
cheapest kind. The handle was cut
off and the fan pressed into shape for
the head; at the top near the stalk was
bow of ribbons and a few bright
ribbons hung down behind This was
all, but the effect, with a bright face
beneath the shade of the metamor-

looked just as good on the little blonde
head in front of me as a $50 bonnet
could have looked.

Concerning RazOrs.

Few raZOrs are made in this coun-
try-nOne worth speaking of-say one
in million, said an expert. ''The
best come from England. The next
best are Swiss. The French razors
deserve a proud distinction as climax
ing the worst, so far as [ know. Some
used to be made IN Bridgeport, Conn.
but believe the enterprise was aban-
doned. Some are made yet in Massa-
chusetts, at Worcester, but not
many"
Primarily a razor, to be good,
must be made of good steel, but it
must also be ground properly to be fit
for shaving. Everything, in fitting
any edge tool for use, depends upon
the correct understanding of the SER
vice 1t Is expected to perform, and a
nice adaptation of its edge to just that
service A carving-kn;fe, for in
stance. must be ground flat on one
side and wedge shaped on the other; a
pocket knife must be ground convex.
and have a sufficient thickness behind
its edge to keep it; and razor must
be ground thin and concave. See this
one for instance. 1t is, as you will
observe, thinner a little back of the
edge than close to it, hardly thicker
than a sheet of paper Nip the end
of its edge with your thumb nail and
you will hear it ring like little silver
bell. More razors are spoiled by i'm
proper grinding than in any other
way. The only way to know posi-
lively whether a razor is good or not
is to shave with it. The eye will not
determine its quality. But even if a
razor is of the best steel and faultless-
~ ground, it may be spoiled and rem
dered quite unfit for shaving by inn
proper stropping, 4 little too nuch
stropping, or not quite enough, and
you will have a bad edge. Three
quarters of the people who shave
themselves do not know how to use a
razor, and consequently are liable to
condemn a good one.
"A razor is supposed to be better for
q rest after it has been used for a good
while. And it is. My idea about ii
is that an imperceptible rust gathers
on it in disuse, and when that is hon
ed and stropped off It's edge is thinner
and sharper being tired and needing
rest. Many men avoid wearying a
razor by constant use by the expedient

Paize- Fight With Goat.

No time was wasted. Both combatants
were taken to their corners. Andy
QUAD seconded Tim, and John Jack
son was the goats best friend. Tim
pat his pipe in safe hands, rolled up
his sleeves and said he was ready for
the first round
Tim went over gameIy to the goats
corner and hit him a stunning blow
on the side Of the head, and gave him
a kick in the side with his hob nail
ed" shoes Cries of foul around
the ring. The referee decided that
Tim must take off his shoes, which
was done Tim was given another
drink from a friendly bottle and
went to the scratch for the second

Tim made another lunge at the
goat, and fell short. The goat got in
a good one tearing his pants and max

first blood for the goat. Tim again
faced the goat, struck him a stunning
blow between the horns and fell flat
on the ground.
On the third round the goat went
to the scratch smiling. Tim looked
''groggy." His hand was skinned
and bleeding. The.seat of the pants
was badly torn, and blood ran down
over his feet. 1t was plain to all
that, barring accidents the goat would
win. A large crowd had gathered
by this time, nearly all of them in
favor Of the goat. he goat reared
on his hind legs, made desperate
lunge at Tim, drove both horns IN his
belly and laid him out on the grass.
Andy took himsto his corner, applied
the usual remedy to bring him to-

nails, and so on; but it was no use.
Tim was badly beaten, and so the re-
fierce so decided for the goat. Tim
was taken home in time to keep from
being locked up, and the goat was
led back to the stable smiling.
