1t Wasn't a Mash.

Soon after we left Meridian, on the
way across to Vicksburg, q solemn
looking old chap came into the smoker
and groaned and sighed and took on
like man terribly distressed, and when
we asked-him where he seemed to feel
it the worst, he replied:
Gentlemen, there is powerfully
good-looking Young woman in the next
car, and she has fallen into the hands
of human byena.'
No?" shouted three or four voices
at once.
IS Yes, indeed. He's q wicked-look-
ing wolf in sleeps clothing. If mis-
take not, he represents some New En-
gland machinery house. He's squeez-
ing of her hand and whispering of
his love, and the giddy thing has fallen
right into the trap. l couldn't bear to
see it any longer and so came in
here. Gentlemen, some of you have
daughters!''
Yes, there were three of us who had
daughters ranging from two to seven
years old, and we were honest enough
to admit it.
"Just think of your daughters being
kayjoled by Philistiner' he continued
'sHe's talking and fattering and prom
ising. and she's somebody's daughter.
Gentlemen, something orter be did,"
We agreed. We all lounged in and
saw that she was a good-looking, hap
py-faced girl of twenty, and we returned
and held an indignation meeting, After
fine display of eloquencc and oratory
it was unanimously agreed that if the
masher got off at Jackson. where we
were to wait twenty minutes, the good
old man should go in and tell that girl
what was what. Jackson was finally
reached, and sure enough the human
hyena got off and ran into the hotel He
was not out of sight when we all en-
tered the car, and the philanthropist
took seat beside the girl and began:
my dear young lady, my heart is
sad-oh, SO sad!-for you! You are on
the road to destructionr'
''W-what do you mean?" she fall
tered.
IL mean that the villain who left YOU
moment ago is seeking to ensnare
YOU
"The v-villain!''
''Yes, ma am, the wolf in sleeps
clothing-the hyena in human form
the scoundrel whose very look proves
the vileness of his heart. / warn you
to beware of him as you would of SER
pent."
'Why. he's-he's my husbandr' she
shouted at the top of her voice, and the
next instant she had her fingers playing
through his venerable locks and exca-
waiting channels down his wrinkled
cheeks.
All of us got away at last and found
hiding places in the baggage and mail
cars-all but the old man. When he
managed to get clear of the bride he
slid off the car and took Decline up
town, and though he met several people
while in sight of US, we couldn't see
that he stopped to answer any ques-

In the course of a recent debate on
yivisection in the Prussian Landtao,
the Minister of Public Worship, Won
Gossler, cited the following remarkable
case: "a young lady, belonging to an
aristocratic family in Konigsberg, grad
ually lost her power of vision, until at
last she was entirely blind. Her eve,
on being examined, was found to be
perfectly sound, whence it followed
that the seat of her trouble must be in
the brain. All treatment proved UNI
availing until the discovery was made
that she had received some months
previously heavy blow on the head
from falling board. Professor Munck,
the famous experimentalist who exam
ined her, convinced the oculist and the
surgeon that the affected part must be
that section of the brain which his ex-
periments on monkeys had proved to
be the central station for sensations of
sight. The blow had evidently injured
the membrane of the brain. This made
perforation of the skull necessary-a
very difficult operation-which,. how
ever, in this case was comparatively
simple, because the exact locality in
the brain was known, whereas in the
case of Prince whose skull was per-
forated for similar reason, previous
to DIR. Munck's discoveries, the opera
ton had to be repeated thirty-two
times. The young lady recovered her
eyesight completely"

THE SPRING TINE.
WHAT rs ro HE ExPEcrEp.


Now the milk-man wakes us early,
With his long and mournful cry;
And the greens look fresh and curly
As the peddler carts them by;
And the youth with mustache twirly
Sports a vest whose hue is pearly,
As he goes to meet his grille
On the sly.
Now the father thinks with grooming
That the boys all want new boots,
And the mother knows with moaning
That the girls must hare spring suits;
And the plumber
Man look GUNNER,
For he has no show in summer;
But not so the merry drummer,
Setting out with heart of glee
To talk people deaf and dumb, or
To death, as it may be.
Now the man who owns a garden
Issues forth to view the same.
And begins his hands to harden
And his back to make quite lame;
And the small boy thinks of hockey"
In calm, determined way.
And, hiding slate and book, he
Pegs at marbles all the day.
Now the poet searches madly
In last Springs rejected verses
Searches wildly, searches sadly,
And with language full of curses:
And the gentle maiden yearneth
For the long, long golden days,
As she, planning wisely, turneth
Her last Summers polonnaise;
And the young mans bosom burneth
For one or two damp days
He Is wishing
To go fishing
So he says.
Now the painter is most precious,
And engaged for all he's worth;
While the builders hopes are spacious,
And the rax-fnan's full of mirth;
And ten million schemes fallacious
In ten million brains have birth,
About this time, good gracious!
All sorts of things come forth.

Republican President.
IL has been claimed, however, that at
least the financial achievements of the
Hayes Administration were great. Even
this claim was unfounded- Hayes found
the Resumption act on the statute book.
All that his Administration did in the
way of preparation was to issue bonds
to the amount of some ninety millions
at time when the Government enjoyed
unlimited credit. But before the day of
resumption arrived Congress passed an
act which amounted to repeal of some
of its most important features. It pro-
hibited the redemption Of the green
backs, and it revoked the authority for
their reduction to three hundred mill
ions Independently of specie payments.
This bill was approved by Hayes. For
the high credit Of the Government which
made tho refunding operations possible
he deserves no more praise
than for the bountiful crops or
the magnificent results of the
tenth census. After the expiration of
the Hayes Administration . second-rate
Minnesota politician was able to secure
still better terms for Government loans
than the ''great financier'' from Ohio.
In this connection it should ALWAYS be
fcmembered that Hayes, instead Of con-
tributing to the reduction of the public
burden, made it larger than he found it
at the beginning Of his Administration.
