A CHARACTERISTIC OF SCOTT.

Scott wandered as freely az Shake
speare to all points of the worlds COM
pass, in contempt of the unities of time
and place. He constructed human types
for obedience to the one unity retained
consistency of character--as harmo-
niously as Goethe. There was only
wanting to him the philosophical spirit,
which, by the permanent sense of an in
scrutable destiny, gave to their drama
of human life more or less somber
coloring. Scott's universe was not a
very mysterious affair at any time. He
seems to have believed that the whole
cycle of things from age to age was
superintended bya Providence as cheer
ful as himself, who distributed human
lots on perfectly Ineligible law OF
kindness. He never had the slightest
difficulty about the arrangement of So
ciety; its inequalities and gradations OF
misery. In his view there were those
who should rule, and those who should
acknowledge their rule by loyalty and
obedience. For the one set there was
all the pomp and circumstance of inn
memorial etiquette and pre-eminence
in high deeds; for the other set there
was homely industry, and a willingness
to be useful-the industry, it might be,
of picturesque thieving, and willing
ness growing out of close attachments
which were all the more delightful il
they were absurd.

There are some very curious laws i'm
Saxony regarding servants, girls more
especially. The mistress is obliged by
law to allow the servant one pound of
butter and one of coffee per month,
or the equivalent in money. If the
girl furnishes her own bedding she Sc
cures d cents per night for so doing
Seventy cents a month is allowed for
her washing, and she receives per
cent upon all purchases she makes
She is required to give, one months
notice before leaving her place. The
law also requires that each servant keep
book for recommendations in which,
upon her leaving her place, her mistress
is compelled to state the cause and the
girls character.

hotel. When she arrived and asked
for room, she was informed they had
no rooms for ladies who travel alone.
When she asked where, then, she
should go, the "gallant" hotel man
remarked that was her own lookout
The other tourists laughed and sided
with the hotel man. How she got
other shelter is not related, but when
she wrote for her paper she put forth
plea for a hotel for ladies as there
are cars for ladies'.

partnership and established branch
Offices in all the chief towns and cities.
They are turning out copy fast. We
have only time to note the story of a

shaking them as a dog does a rat, and
then throwing them over its head of Il
young man in Alabama who for several
years, being destitute of beard, had Il
hard knot in his neck cut open and
found beard all rolled up and nicely
packed away in this Wen; of a Bridge
port (Conn.) "Professor" who has in
vented brass belt with nipple from
which he noislessly projects a pellet,
and which, in the presence of witness,
killed dog in fifteen minutes without
the animals knowing it was hit; and

AND THE DAUGHTER AND HER MOTH Err
STILL PURSUED HIM.

The recent engagement Of a Boston
young lady to a young man well known
in the social circles OF that city, recalls
the amusing attempt of the young lsdy's
mamma, some time ago, to secure Il
husband for her fair daughter. A
handsome young Boston bachelor of
wealth and education happened to pass
the same season at summer hotel
with the designing mother, and feeling
that fate had thrown the young man
in her way she proceeded at once to lay
plans for his capture. She hired IA
small room adjoining her apartments,
fitted it up sumptuously and then invited
the favored young man to enter, on the
"Spider and the Fly" principle. She
left them alone together as much as
possible, and even went so far as to
hire equipages and invite the young
bachelor to accompany them. But all
to no purpose. The gentleman had
rather pronounced views on the subject
of matrimony and positively refused to
be caught. Summer heightened into
autumn and still the daughter languished
tllliiuttu, Wiitii tiit ia Ni'
unguarded moment mentioned that he
was soon to take q Southern trip. Not
to be thus eluded, the mamma made
plans for similar journey, announcing
that the gentleman was to be one of the
party. However, the young man was
too clever for feminine Vaccinations,
and was well on his way before the lady
was aware of his departure. Nothing
daunted, she followed in hot pursuit
and came up with the fugitive in New
Orleans. Thence they went in company
to Florida, the mother feeling confident
that, under the seductive influences OF
a tropical winter, her desired end would
surely be accomplished. But the heart
of the bachelor was adamant, and by a
clever coup d'etat he escaped once more
proceeding north. Again he was fol-
lowed, and it was only after some very
plain conversation with the mamma
that she gave up the task as hopeless
one. A little while ago she laid siege
to the heart of another young man, not
so skilled in the art of self-protection
for he fell an easy victim to her well ar
ranged plans. Madame has another
eligible daughter in the field, and it is
rumored that a husband for her has
already been selected by the watchful
mamma

CRACKING, eTABBINo AND sCULLIN9

There was an angry, dark frown on
the generally genial countenance of
Uncle John Fisk, of New York. He
glanced around suspciously to see if he
was observed, and then beckoned to a
swarthy stranger, who was standing
near. The stranger approached, and
stealthily exhibited weapon of gleam-
ing steel. 1t had no hilt or guard, the
blade being of the same piece of steel
as the blade.
"Can you stab, and stab quickly ?"
asked Uncle John Fisk. The stranger
nodded assent. "Then go and get in
your work, replied Uncle John. Now,
member of the Produce Exchange ac-
cidently overheard the remarks and be-
came alarmed. He went to Sam
Robins and related what he had heard,
saying:
eff there is any stabbing done it will
be traced to Uncle John, and he will be
arrested"
Robins looked at him i'm astonishment.
"What are you giving me? Why,
Fisk wouldn't stab anything except
steak. He was hiring an oyster
stabber."
In response to request for informa
ton on the subject, Mr.. Robins said:
"There are three ways of opening
oysters-cracking, stabbing and scull-
ing. Have you ever been in an oyster
saloon and stood up to the counter and
eaten raw oysters? Well, cracker is
man who opens oysters by laying them
on the block and breaking off the shell
with his knife first, after which to open
the oyster is easy work. 1t is the old
fashioned style, but is gradually falling
into disuse for the reason that particles
OF the shell and mud are liable to fly
into the face of the customer or remain
on the oyster when opened. Stabbing
an oyster is a Boston style. 1t it grad
ually being introduced all over, and
must supercede cracking ere long. To
stab an oyster the bivalve is held in the
hand. The knife is then run in until it
catches the eye OF the oyster, and then
the shell is dexteriously taken off. Some
men lay the oyster on the block and
stab them instead of holding them in
their hands, but the principle is the
same. - N. Y. Sun.

LORD BEACONsFIELD's YOUNGER pAYs.

Disraeli was essentially warm-hearted
and generous, and when he took his
first plunge into public life he went
with the stream which was then car
rying most young men, not trained at
public schools and the universities,
toward humanitarian theories of all
kinds; but from the first he showed Il
disposition which would have made him
unfit to work with Parliamentary
Liberals. In his earliest speeches and
writings his satire always flies straight
est when leveled at the petty devices OF
place-hunting, at political hypocrisy,
social shams, and dull arrogance. There
was no pettiness in him; he had a poet $
mind, which took grand sweeping views
of things and conjured up gorgeous
visions of human progress and national
triumphs. He might have become the
most dangerous of Radical agitators
but he settled into his proper place as a
defender of the institutions which had
made England great, and as friend OF
the most highly cultured, most spirited
and most tolerant arIstocracy the world
has ever seen. If he had been educated
at the College of Winchester, instead of
in private school of that town, and if
he had afterward gone to Christchurch,
or to Trinity, Cambridge, he would have
been drawn toward Conservatism in his
boyhood; but it so happened that at
his Winchester school, and at another
in Walthamstow where he spent a
couple of years, he had much to put up
with on account Of his jew looks, and
he seems to have imbibed passionate
hostility toward Toryism because it was
expounded in these places by Low
Church Parsons Qualifying brat" and
by "the naughty snutlling son of a city
knight" lie did not often allude to
his school days, but from casual remarks
it appears that he must have been an
opposition leader in them both. "My
first tyrant," he used to say, "was a
boy we called Freckles (the Parson' s
brat.) He lorded it over two cringing
ushcrs; he called me son of Belial for
reading 'Roderick Random on Sun
day, and we were always fighting" "
OF the city knights son at Walthamstow
he said: He was II fat boy who be-
came my enemy because | nicknamed
him 'Sir Loin;' might more appropri-
ately have given him some name con-
nected with sheep, for he was sheepish
at work, but would run at me like IA
battering ram in the playground, and he
had shoulder of mutton fist" -

SONG OF THE JERSEY.

With fingers tired and stiff.
With muscles swollen and sore,
A maiden stood in gros grain silk,
Viewing her Jersey DER.
Sad, sad, sad
Then wickedly winlling her eye
She cried aloud, like lunatic mad:
I'll put you on, or die"
"Stretch, stretch, stretch,
With her tongue most bitten in two,
And stretch, stretch, stretch,
Till her head came peeping through.
With means and sighs and tears,
With tears and sighs and means,
She paved the air, fell over chair,
And filed the room with groans.
Sick, sick, sick,
She lay for week in bed;
Sick, sick, sick,
With pain that racked her head;
While in closet dark
The naughty Jersey laid
Twas torn to shreds, twas rent in twain,
And sorry was the maid.
