How Opie r. Read, the Funny
Man of ArkansaVs, Killed Two
Pine h1ckens. Which Cost
. him Four Dollars.
Little Rook pemocr,, .


Yesterday evening 0pie Read was
walking down the street. His name
has much more extended acquaint,
ance than his body, although the lat
ter is the heavy weight Of the two
and for this reason he meets strangers
on our streets daily who know him
well after his name is spoken.
de was not regarded as real lazy
man, although he never walks hur-
riedly, and it is said by some of hi,
best friends that Ibis energy is all
in his head" He is tall, square
built, and walks erect, yet he has
never been accused OF being a dude
on account of his dress. his CHIEF
fault is an open, frank. free and
easy disposition, which flow from q
big body made chiefly Of heart. AS
q friend and companion, he is made
THAT timber that will last best--all
heart, aud he IS 50 fond OF a joke that
he frequently makes them practical.
But as | was going to say, he was
walking yesterday evening down
Markham street, where he had not
walked for months, when he came to a
newly opened shooting gallery, and the
proprietor installing him for an Ar.
kansaw gray held up his gun, saying,
will you take a shot sir?"
Opie took in the situation at a
glance The target was in back
yard where a number Of blooded chick
ems were scratching for gravel and
bugs. The target was between 0pie
and the chickens, and he felt in his
bones that be was crack. Taking the
prottered gun he glanced down the
barrel, then raised it to his shoulder
and stepped forward saying, Il believe
AN right said the target keeper

And i'll hit, it will cost me moth,

through the sights. 1881
Yes, was the reply.
"All right" 0pie answered, and il
another instant he had fred.

Keeper-"Don't you see my fnt
chicken iiottering? No; it's quit flut,
tering now. It's dead. l told you t
shoot at the target-the bulls eye
That chicken, sir, is worth two dol
lars"
The keeper was mad, and iOpie, in
nocent Of any wrong, insisted on an
other trial. THIS time at the bulli
eye. The gun was reloaded and h
lifted It to his shoulder hurried ant
fired. A second chicken hutteret
and turned up its heels.
-Four dollarsl Four dallarsl Foul

cried the keeper, IN q rage. 5
-Four dollars your foot" said the

that it is no special humiliation to

Zone, and is not wrapped in paper
but there they draw the line. Some
gentlemen occasionally condescend
to call at the post-oflice for their
mail, but generally all such onerous
duties are delegated TO the servants.
Therefore, the smallest family must
maintain n retinue of "mozos'' and
"creados' Servants (Which per-
haps is well, in "the grand economy
of the WHOLE since the serfs far
outnumber the masters in Mexico.
A gentleman never travels from town
to town, on business or pleasure,
without one or more moZos in attend
ance. When he disports himself on
horse or muleback, his mozo rides
less, behind him. In fact, every
duty in life which another can pos
sibly perform for him, is done by
his servants. The most heightened

of princely income if paid "dos

his services, out of which he clothes
himself aud supports his family.
Gentlemen who are not housekeep-
ing, and therefore cannot feed their

RUSSIAN CITIES.

The Russian Empire consists of
thirty different races of people. Life
there is not individual, but collective.
There are but two cities, Moscow
and St. Petersburg; the remaining
towns are viewed as but accidents.
In other countries the urban popula-
ton constitutes one-third of the
whole, in Russia but one-tenth. st.
Petersburg and Moscow are the
only cities, perhaps, in the world
whose inhabitants are in part peas
ants. 1t is, therefore, not astonish-
ing to find the work-people in the
factories of these cities engaged on
the conditions that they will be al
lowed vacations to sow their fields
and reap their haryests. st Peters,

PATS NOVEL DECISION.

A jolly set of Irishmen, boon COM
panions and sworn brothers, had
made up their mind to leave the
"ould sod" and wend their way to
"Ameriky." There were five in
number-two Paddles, one Murphy,
one Dennis and one league. 1t so
happened that the vessel they were
TO go in could only take four of
them. At length honest league ex-
claimed: "Arrah! Well cast lots
to see who shall remain" But one
of the Paddles vowed that it was
anything but '..'jonteel'' to do that
sort of thing. "You know league"
he said, "that / am an arithmetican,
and l can work it out by substrac-
ton, which is a great deal better.
but you must all agree to abide by
the figures. All having pledged
themselves 10 do SO, Pat proceeded:
"Well, then, take Paddy from Pad
dy you can't, that's very certain;
but to take Dennis from Murphy is
ca, J enough, and you will find that
league remains. By my faith,
league, my jewel, and it's you
that'll have to stay behind" Poor
league was therefore bound to
acqniesce in this remarkably novel
decision. Chambers Journal.

SCENES IN A PERSIAN CITY.

Resht contains over ten thousand
inhabitants, and is important as
being the principal Persian, city on
the Caspian, says o New York
Eroning Post correspondent. 1t is
noted for its tobacco, which is very
delicate and mild, and for a sort of
embroidery on broadcloth called
Resht work, which is sometimes
seen in America in the shape of
table-covers and sofa-cushions. The
city is very unhealthy, owing to
malaria from the low grounds and
the stagnant pools of water which
cover the numerous rice fields. The
streets are narrow and winding the
houses low and built for the most
part of mud and sun dried brick and
matched with mud and straw. Some
of the summer places in the neigh
borhood are very pleasantly sur
rounded by rose gardens, and have
fine avenues of shade trees. In
visit 20 one of these in company with
q Persian of high rank, we were both
amused and Disguised at the abso-
lutte control he had, not only over
his servants, but over all interiors as
well. AS we came to party of boys
bathing in small river, the humor
seized him to make one of his SER
wants battle, and, not content with
this, he made other servants throw
several of their fellows into the river

delighted at the sorry plight they
were in as they came ashore. He
had the boys, who came up begging
for "shais," thrown heels over head
from high bank into the river.
| One little fellow was seriously hut.
The gentleman thought when his fun
was over, that he had settled all
scores by tossing a few silver pieces
among them.
