A broad-shouldered man was walking
along Chathm street. He looked as i
he was in great pain.
whats the matter asked?n q friend
ooh, I'm in terrible agony. Got ,
boil as big as a watermelon on my calf
Can hardly walk. So longr and the
proprietor of jobs comforter moved off
And as he did so another gentleman
came along and shook hands with hi:
friend.
i've got the biggest joke of the sea

He was telling me how he was brighten.
ed by dog this morning. Let's have
some fun!'
| The new arrival was Sin for it,
'You walk up behind him, Crap him
by the leg and bark like dog. His
nerves are all unstrung. and we'll have
big joke on him to see him jump"
"Pll do it, said the other. .'and you
walk on the other side and see me scare
him to DEATH
The two parted to carry out the pro-
gramme. The latest arrival proceeded
after their mutual friend Just as he
got close up behind him he grapped
him by the boil and playfully parked.
BOW. WOW, wow" just as naturally
as dog-show.
The broad-shouldered man went up
in the air, while his face looked as if
he had suddenly swallowed tree full
of persimmons. When he came down
he recited the alphabet backwards and
then pointed his toe thirteen distinct
times at his playful friend, slammed
him up against telegraph pole. mash
ed his hat over his eyes and then walked
away, looking as if he he'd like to put
the leg with the watermelon boil on
over his shoulder and carry it home.
Afterthe dog" adpulled himself out

Trying to ssMash'' a Deaf Mute.

The train sped over the track at the
rate of forty miles an hour, but some.
how each hour had sixty minutes in il.
just as usual, and time hung heavy on
his soul. He was a Harvard student
bound for Boston on the Old Colony
railroad. Presently, at one of the way
stations, pretty young lady entered
the car and sat down near the delighted
student. Instantly he was wide awake.
and devoted all his energies to engag.
ing the admiring attention of the fair
one. First he pushed the blind up and
down noisily in order to attract her at
tention. Thinking he had secured
this, he opened morning paper. and,
reclining gracefully, pretended to read.
llt reality he stared steadily at his
charmer, and whenever she chanced to
raise her eyes she found the student
looking at her. Their eyes met; he
poured his whole soul into one be-
wildering, captivating glance; she
blushed slightly and turned nervousIy
IN her seat, but in that delicious in
slant when he gazed into the limpid
depths of her blue eyes he fancied he
saw there the reciprocation of his own
interest. With increasing confidence
his attitude became more imposing and
beautiful, and when the train reached
Boston he considered his conquest as
sured. But in the meantime the whole
carfull had Caught on" to the students
scheme, and one of the passengers who
knew the young lady passed around the
word that fun was coming. So when
the party stepped on the platform the
student proceeded in the presence of a
large and interesting audience. Step
ping elegantly up to the pretty girl,
he said briskly:
II beg your pardon, but I am sure
we must have met before. Did I not
have the pleasure of seeing you at
Judge Smiths reception last week Z?
May / assist you with the bundle? Fine
day, is it not?"
But the maiden walked demurely on,
never so much as blushing or turning
her head. Taken somewhat by sur
prise, the would-be masher hesitated,
stammered, but continued: II thought
possibly You might remember my face;
| am sure / have seen you before. We
had very enjoyable time at the ball
last eve, didn't we?"
As the same result was experienced
from this attempt, he boldly stepped in
front of her and, raising his hat, began:
II beg your pardon, Miss--"but he
stopped suddenly; she was looking
pityingly at him and making signs to
him in the deaf and dumb alphabet.
"Oh, holy cuspidor! if that isn't
another piece of Harvard luckls he
gasped, and bolted for horse-car. The
story leaked out, and now you can tell
that student by the appearance of sup
pressed profanity that steals over his
face when any one happens to twist his
fingers or move his hand in an unusual
way.

treat AerOnaurs.

who have been the great aeronauts
OF this country now dead or retired p
inquired Philadelphia reporter OF
Prof. King, the aeronaut.
well, there was Paulin. He became
crazy on religious matters and is dead.
| don't know whether he died in an
asylum or not My impression about
La Mountain is that, after his Wilder
ness ascension and his privations in the
northern woods, he never took another
balloon voyage. He has quit balloon
ing and has made fortune by his pro-
cess for making gas out of water and
petroleum. L see him frequently in
Philadelphia. John Steiner made his
first ascension with me. He died in
1879, from the effects of a balloon
voyage made from San Francisco He
came down in the back bays and took
cold from wading in the water, and
died of consumption. John Wise is
supposed to have been drowned in
Lake Michigan, which appears to be a
sort of aeronautic graveyard. / have
looked at it and wondered if I would
go down in its depths, too. Elliott, of
Baltimore, is living yet, over so years
Did and the oldest living aeronaut. OF
course he hasn't made an ascension for
many years.
Elliott made an ascension many
years ago, in the slavery days, from
Charleston, S. G. 1t was beautiful,
still day, and he foated off slowly and
gracefully. About dusk the balloon
dropped down lightly upon an island in
the harbor. The white folks had all
gone to the city and the negroes were
alone on the island. 1t seems there had
been death, and the corpse of one of
them lay in cabin, while dozen or
more darkies were sitting down before
this cabin in the twilight waiting for
the burial-time, the burials there then
being made at night. The balloon was
settling down before this cabin when
the watchers caught sight of it. With
a terror-stricken shrek, they all started
to run. Elliott dropped his anchor and
the last darkey stumbled over it, the
anchor catching him in the trousers
leg. Falling to his knees, with clasped
hands, he groaned out, 'Oh, masss
debble, good massa debble, rs not de
nigga; Dicks in dar, pointing to the
cabin"
