A ludicrous incident recently tool
place in Liverpool There are two
brothers who parted many years age
when boys, one Of them going "a
America 10 seek his fortune and the
other remaining in Liverpool to make
his. They have both been eminently
successful in this respect, and not long
ago the brother in America determin.
ed TO visit the brother in England.
The time Of the visit was settled by
correspondence and the American SET
sail. The EDglishman is notorious
wag, and arranged that an acqusint.
ance should meet the American as his
brother aud conduct him 10 the hotel
The American, who was also a great
wag, on the trip decided to play ex
actly the same trick on his brother,
asking an acquaintance whom he had
met on the ship, to personate him for
few hours. The acquaintance en-
tered into the spirit Of the joke, aud
when the vessel arrived AZ Liverpool,
was found by the personatOr of the
English brother and driven TO the bo
tel. The real American brother fol
lowed more leasurely, chuckling over
his joke. In the meanwhile the En-
gIish brother had also gone to the ho
tel, bursting with merriment over his
joke 1t happened that the two real
brothers met in the lobby Of the hotel,
and, though they had been parted so
many years. they knew each other.
At first, with blank amazement, they
greeted each other; and then, as they
explained their mutual jokes, laughed
long aud heartily. But the climax
was yet to be reached. An explana
ton in regard to the gentlemen who
had personated them, and who were
now, as they imagined, playing big
joke on each other, showed that they
also we're brothers who had been sep.
arated since bOyhood, but did not
know each other when they met. The
FIRST pair Of brothers hurried up to
their parlor and after the situation
had been explained all around, the
comedy oferrors was pleasantly ended
by an old fashioned English dinner.

A good deacon and bis man were
moving one day. The deacon, fol
lowed in the rear, looked up to see his
man leaving his scythe and run. The
good deacon called out: The wicked
flee when no man pursueth; but the
righteous are bold as a lion," and
kept on moving and soon came up to
the mans scythe and turned and fed
also, and was accOsted by his man:
"a prudent man foreseeth the evil.

WILD PEOPLE OF THE IDAHO BACK
wooDs.-In the "backwoods" region
of Idaho are many people, "bOrn and
raised in the wilds, who have never
seen either railroad or a steamboat.
Since railroads have been penetrating
toward their Businesses they have
heard such wonderful things about
the locomotives jumping of the tracks
and killing people that it is hard to
get a native near train. In order to
get them aboard train it is necessary
to blindfold them, the same as mules
and horses are blinded when taken in
to dangerous places. Even when
they are aboard a train it is necessary
to watch them closely to prevent them
jumping out of the windows when a
locomotive blows its whistle. = Terri

The person who asks that the law
should release him from debt ought to
be compelled to show that he contract
ed the debt properly; that he did not
intend to cheat his creditors; that he
has not wasted the proceeds of the
debt, and that his inability to pay il is
not due TO his own fault. This should
be required of him, in the first place,
because he is asking a peculiar favor
from the law, an exemption from OBJ
legations which the law, in ordinary
cases, is bound TO enforce; and, in the
second place, because, if he has kept
a proper set of books, he can establish
his claim without difiiculty.-[N. Y.
