THE CLOSE.
The First Satisfaction.

Hon. B. G. Lapham, United States Senator from New York, was in Michigan lately looking after some real estate in- terests. A reporter interviewed him.
 "The first solid satisfaction I ever got in Michigan came about in this way-if you think you'd like to hear it: In the spring of 1889 was out here and was taken sick with bilious fever at Tecum- sch, and a doctor, whose name I don't recollect, came over from Adrian to visit me in little hut, where lay with bark for roof, and which leaked terribly during every rain-storm. This fellow came and poured calomel into me until was nearly dead. Finally Dr. Spauld- ing, of Sylvania, came and staid by me till he cured me. We'll, this fellow, whose name I can't recall, presented a bill of $63 for nine visits at the rate of $7 visit. I paid him in money on the wildcat bank of Clinton, and the day after I paid him the bank busted. That's the first real satisfaction I ever ex- perienced in Michigan, and I recall ii now with pleasure, for he salivated me dreadfully "-and the Senator laughed heartily.

Internal Machines Condemned.

In passing sentence on an old man, convicted in the Criminal Court of Phila- delphia, of an attempt to blow up his son-in-law with bomb, Judge Allison took occasion to speak his sentiments on the dynamite and bomb method of rid ding oneself of an enemy. The prisoner was Caspar Youngheim, and the prose- cutor and victim August Goeckle. It was testified to that on the night of Octo- Der 30, last, while Goeckle was engaged upon some tailoring work, at an open window at his house, missile, which seemed to be ball of fire, flew in the window, smashed lamp near his head, and filled the room with smoke and the oder of powder. The room was after ward found to be filtered with half burned rags and particles of glass and iron. A piece of lead pipe which had contained the material, and half-burnt fuse were also found. The testimony also showed that there had been bad blood between the old man and Goeckle, and the jury convicted the accused with out leaving the box.
 In passing sentence the Judge said:
 sI have no doubt that the verdict, though found on circumstantial evi- dence, was just one. For such crimes the maximum imprisonment of three years provided by the law was altogether too light. It is not greater than the
 IL. old criminals for larceny. A man who would throw bomb for the purpose of injuring another" he continued, fought to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. Society has right to be protected against such one. Nothing would be too bad for him to do."
 He fined the defendant five hundred dollars and sent him to the Penitentiary for three years.

 The god said nothing for few min utes, and then he asked, "I shall be re- turning here in fortnight's time ; could you make it convenient to lend me fifty riyos?"
 "Willingly, sir" said the peasant, and he counted out the sum from his bamboo stem and placed the paper in the hand of the god. In fortnight Inari re- turned to the peasants house and said, "Here are the fifty riyos you were kind enough to lend me-and," taking from his own pocket roll of notes, ''here are five hundred more. I only bor- rowed from you to test your heart, and perhaps you can guess who I am" " The astonished and delighted couple fell on their knees in an ecstasy of joy. Inari disappeared, and the poor peasant prospered ever after, until he became the owner of the largest tea house in KaWasaki.

 Tick, tock 'Tis morn! A maiden sits st the mirror there, And smiles as she braids her golden hair, oh, m the light, but her face is fair
 Tick, tock tick, tock Far over the sea the good ship brings The lover of whom the maiden sings; From the orange tree the first leaf springs
 Tick, tock tick. tockl The old clock laughs on the flower-decked wall
 Tick, tock tick, tock The rose-winged hours elnde the ir thrall; {.
 Tick, tock! Iris noon! The lover's pride and his love are blest The maiden is folded to his breast; On her brow the holy blossoms rest

 Tick, tock tick, tock The old clock moans on the crumbling wall
 Tick, tock tick, tock! The drear years into eternity fall
 Tick, tock 'Tis night! The thread that wonder spider draws with care Across the gleam of the mirror there Seems like the ghost of a golden hair;

Lost His Place.

The Washington correspondent Of the Boston 7raueIer relates the following story of Colonel George H. Butler, formerly United States Consul General Ill Egypt, and now wagon-master in the army. After his return from Egypt he loafed around Washington until, through President Hayes, he received an appoint ment as one of the chief special in- spectors of the Post Office Department. and was assigned to duty in Dakota He left his post in good spirits, and kept a liberal supply of the same close by him on his journey. On the second day of the trip Colonel Butler met party of convivial friends in the train, and the orgie reached such height that at mid night he swore that every man in the him. Those who would not comply were summarily pulled out of their berths, and among them was clerical looking gentleman, who denounced the entire proceeding in 8 manner denoting that he was deeply offended. He in- quired of Colonel Butler who he was, and the latter, being in an extremely "mellow state, told him that his name was George H. Butler, and furthermore that he was special inspector of the Post Office Department, bound for his post of duty. The clerical-looking gentleman, who evidently did not relish being pulled out of his sleeping berth by the heels at midnight, while the train was travelling at the rate of forty miles an hour, proved to be Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. At the first station he telegraphed President Hayes full account of the affair, and before Butler had reached his destina- tion an order overlook him to return to Washington, at once, dismissed from the service

THE ELECTRIC WIRES.
Danger from Them Unless They are Put
 Under Ground.

"Speaking of the number of new electric light companies which are springing into existence, said Thomas Edison, ''I may safely say that every company that strings its wires on poles is adding additional dangers to the pub lie safety.
 "I know that scarcely day passes without some warning being given of the danger of the arc light wires running through the air. Wherever these wires are suspended from telegraph or tele- phone poles they are liable to cause a fire. For should the current be di- verted-and this might occur from the slightest contact-the heat would be sui icient to consume telegraph and tele- phone instruments and set fire to any or dinary material that might lie near at hand.
 "Some weeks ago fireman in New York city attempted to remove the re- lease key of fire alarm box. As he touched the key he received severe shock. There is every reason to believe that in this case the fire telegraph wire had become crossed with an electric light wire, and the current had thus been diverted. Had the ground upon which the fireman stood been damp, or had the soles of his boots been wet, the chances are that the current going through his body would have killed him on the spot.
 "Some months ago, as you must re- member, workman in the employ of one of the companies climbed pole for the purpose of mending 8 wire. A short time afterward his dead body was found clinging to the pole. He had touched the wire and had received shock which had killed him. And what wonder Fourteen hundred volts are dangerous. and the arc light companies rarely run any lower than this, and run all the way up to two thousand volts.'' Edison says the electric wires should be put under ground.
