 "Why, I suppose so."
 "Your supposing may be all wrong. Begin suit and you may find that his wife has deed. Sue his wife, and you will find that she has gone to Florida to spend the winter, leaving the care of the lot to man who was called to Chicago to see his brother die just at the time he ought to have been salting that side- walk"

The Original Tramp.

There is good reason to believe, says Western Massachusetts paper, that the original tramp came from the town of New Marlboro. His name was Jake Clark. He was young man at the time of his exploits, and began to distinguish himself about the year 1880. He was bachelor, and lived part of the time with his widowed mother. With many things wanting that go to make up 8 well-con- stituted man, Jake, nevertheless, had elements of shrewdness that might have made him great man if he had pos sessed industry, dignity and self-respect, and had not been slave to the habit ot drinking New England rum, apple-lack and old cider. He planted himself squarely on this ethical platform: It is just as well to tell lie as to tell the truth, if the lie has the semblance of truth. And he was frequently heard to say that a man was "a blank fool for telling lie unless it had about it great degree of apparent truth" Jake wouldn't work. He was constitutionally disposed to be 8 man of leisure-not elegant, but happy, and his great scheme was to travel from town to town and get his living by his wits

The Shipping Bill.

The Senate Committee on Commerce took final action on the Shipping bill favorably reporting it to the Senate. The committee have amended the bill by strik ing out the thirteenth section, which delegated to the collectors of ports the duties now performed by the Shipping Commissioners, and have also added 8 section which authorizes the Postmaster General to contract for the carriage of mails in ocean steamships of American register, provided that he shall pay not exceeding $1 per mile for such service and provided the gross amount to be paid for such service shall not exceed $1, ,5OO,- 900 per annum. Due notice is to be given by advertisements and the contracts are to be awarded to the lowest bidder, regardless of the size of the vessel, only provided that the vessel is of American register and owned and run by Ameri- cans. The section also contains a pro- vision that drawback equal to the amount of the duty shall be allowed on all foreign materials imported and used in the construction or repair of American vessels

A Determined Jury.

Nothing is truer than the maxim that great events turn upon small hinges. Look well to the small things of life, gentle reader, for upon them may depend the greater ones. These wholesome re- factions are inspired by an accident of & murder trial, at Oroville, last week, says the San Francisco Post. When the jury retired for consultation the foreman an- nounced that the prisoner had conveyed to him the fact that he had only BIO left to s'put up."
 "Ten dollars |" exclaimed one of the twelve, indignantly. "What does the fellow take us for? We are willing enough to do the fair thing, heaven knows, but $1O-I call that rubbing ii in!"
 "If he had only made it 8 dolla, apiece |" snorted another.
 II tell you what it is, gentlemen, said the foreman, solemnly, eff this sor of thing keeps on they'll be having Chi nose jurymen next, so the lawyers vii get it all. There's little enough money in our profession now. It's about time we made an exampls of some one S'posen we hang this manP"
 And, by love, they did.

A Case of Yankee Goodness.

A good story is told of Capt. W. G. Nichols, of Searsport, Me-, while 8 prisoner on board the Confederate cruiser Shenandoah. After burning the Delphine, the Confederate steamer was headed for Melbourne and soon sighted bark to which she gave chase, and after a long run came up, only to learn that she was a British vessel and that the coal burned in the chase was wasted. Two or three days after, upon coming on deck one morning, Capt. Nichols found the steamer off her course and running for another vessel just visible in the dim distance. Picking up the telescope ly- ing on the after house, Capt. Nichols, after a long, careful look, became satis- fled that the sail in sight was the David Brown, of which his brother-in-law, Capt Phineas Pendleton, Jr., was in command, and of which he owned part
 Not desiring to have any of his rela- tives meet him in such company, and not wishing to see any more of his prop erty burned by the Confederates, Capt. Nichols put down the glass and burst into hearty laugh. Capt. Waddell, who was near by, asked:
 "What are you laughing at, captain p
 "Oh, nothing," said Capt. Nichols, laughing again.
 "I believe," said Capt. Waddell, "you've made out that vessel to be the Englishman we overhauled the other day."
 "Well," said Captain Nichols, ''have it your own way, captain, I'm only g passenger, you know"
 Capt. Waddell, satisfied that his sur. mise was correct, ordered the steamer put up on her course again, allowing the David Brown to go on her way, witt Capt. Pendleton all unconscious that ht had been within few miles of steame, carrying his sister. her husband and hi little nephew to far foreign port, ant that by the coolness and quick wit of hi brother-in-law he had been prevented from losing his ship and making one o their party. After getting ashore at Mel bourne, Capt. Nichols told the story "Then," said Capt. Waddell, "you mus have lied to me-" "No, no, I didn't, said Capt. Nichols, "for don't you re member I said to you, Have it your owl way, Captain, I'm only passenger And Capt. Waddell did remember il and could but own that he was outwittet

Gen. Grants Narrow Escape.

The Washington correspondent of the Boston Troveler tells this rather sensa- tional story: General Grant, in recent conversation, said:
 ''The darkest day of my life was the day heard of Lincoln's assassination. did not know what it meant. Lincoln was killed on the evening of the 14th of April. I was busy sending out orders to stop recruiting, the purchase of sup plies, and to muster out the army. Lincoln had promised to go to the the atre, and wanted me to go with him. While was with the President, note came from Mrs. Grant, saying that she must leave Washington that night. She wanted to go to Burlington to see her children. Some incident of 8 triAing nature had made her resolve to leave that evening. I was glad to have it so, as I did not want to go to the theatre. So made my excuses to Lincoln, and at the proper hour we started for the train.
 "As we were driving along Pennsyl- vania avenue, horseman drove past us on gallop, and back again around our carriage, looking into it. Mrs. Grant said: sThere is the man who sat near us at lunch to-day, with some other men, and tried to overhear our conversation. He was 50 rude that we left the dining room. Here he is now riding after us.' I thought it was only curiosity, but learned afterward that the horseman was Booth. It seemed that I was. to have been attacked, and Mrs. Grants sudden resolve to leave changed the plan. A few days after received an anonymous letter from 8 man saying that he he'd been detailed to kill me, that he rode on, my train as far as Havre de Grace, and as my car was locked he failed to get inss He thanked God that he had failed. fI remembered that the conductor had locked our car, but how true the letter was I cannot say. learned of the assassination as was passing through Philadelphia. turned around, took a special train and came on to Washington It was tile gloomiest day of my life.

One day two Foxes who were journey ing together came across Track in the dust which much astonished them. "I believe it is the Track of Rhinoo- eros" observed one.
 "I think it is that of an Elephant, re- piled the other.
 "I say Rhinoceros p
 'And say Elephant!'' "Then I travel no longer with such an idiot !"
 "Then you can travel alone with g Fool!" They were cufing each other about in a lively manner, when along came 8 Wolf and asked the cause of the trouble. "Why, that Bigot sticks to it that this is not the track of a Rhinoceros l" shouted one.
 t'And he, the Narrow-minded Mul- doom, won't admit that it is the Track of an Elephant" added the other.
 Gentlemen" said the Wolf as he examined the spot, "this is simply the place where 8 fat man struck Banana Peel and sat down to Reflect. You are both wrong and both Fools" MORAL: Men are ever willing to fight in defense of what they don't know. THE HEN AND THE FARMER.

No Snakes in Florida.

k The Florida Tunes says: As the after noon train on the Florida Transit rail road slowed up to water tank where a creek flows out of a dreary cypress swamp, and crosses the way, hunter in high boots. and corduroy coat, with 8 huge bag swung to his broad shoulders, climbed out of the tall grass and boarded the principal passenger car. It was Prof. James Bell, the Smithsonian Insti- tute's agent. The train was full of peo- pie who, for three hours, had endured the innocent babble of two guileless land agents. We had learned from these truthful real estate missionaries that al- ligators were as harmless as geese, and that there were fewer snakes by far in Florida than in New York City or Phila- delphia. The professor found the one vacant seat and flung himself into it.
 "Good afternoon, professor" an &C., quaintance at the further end of the car cried out to him; "do you have any luck catching snakes these days?"
 And within five minutes MT. Bell was answering questions from nearly every occupant of the car. Where there really any snakes in Florida? Was it safe to go through the woods? How big did snakes grow in this State? What sort of snakes are common here? etc. Very graciously the professor answered them all and soon had betrayed himself into disser- tation on reptiles generally, till, in an absent way, just to illustrate point he was elucidating, he unbuttoned capa- cious pocket in the skirt of his coat and drew out an enormous and newly caught "coach-whip," which he exhibited to a throng of staring and excited people. Its habits and peculiarities were described, and he laid his subject on the seat and from another pocket drew out @ number of chicken snakes and water snakes of various kinds. Would they bite? No, indeed, they were harmless. They look kind of "crawly" they are so small.
 He replaced them and unstrapped his game bag. "Here we have," he said, ia beautiful snake, naturally tame and perfectly harmless. which anybody can play with" And he drew out what is probably the biggest king snake ever caught in Florida, nearly eight feet in length.
 There was 8 chorus of screams, and
 women and children, men even, fled tc the farther end of the car. During the rest of trip the disconnected professor sat alone, and when, at Gainesville, he rose to leave the train, little girls hic themselves behind their mammas anc screamed with fright.
 "As a travelling snowman I do no seem to be success, said the professor
 sadly to himself as he strode toward hi lodgings in Oak Hall.

Disasters in Schools.

The disaster in New York City by which sixteen little children, of Ger man Catholic school were smothered to death while escaping from building on fire, recalls the story of one of the most disastrous panics ever known in New York, which occurred in October, 1853 Thomas F. Harrison, at present Assistant Superintendent of Grammar Schools, but at that time principal in one of the high schools in New York City, thus describes it:
 ssThe school house in which the panic occurred was in Greenwich avenue, near Jefferson Market The building was four stories in height, and contained at the time 1,5O0 children in the several grades. The girls department was upon the second floor. One afternoon, my sister, Abby Harrison, who was at that time the principal of the department, was conducting a recitation in the furthest classroom. Calling little girl to her side, she told her to go out and get her glass of water. The child hurried out into the next room and said in pass ing that Miss Harrison wanted some water. Some one said "Fire," and in a minute all were in confusion. The children rushed toward the stairway. Unfortu nately the doors of the school-house swung inward. The children crowdine up against them were not able to force them open. The railing gave way, ane in moment the children, pushed b. those behind them, were forced over th' edge into the we'll below. Down the. felb one after the other, until there wa pile of them not less than twelve fee high. Fifty of them were killed. I'm shock to the principals of both the mal
 and female departments was so great tha they died within three minutes after tn ] the accident"
