French Papers and Theaters.

From London Truth.
There are two things that have never
und erstood, viz: why the French,
who pass half their day reading news
papers, and an other considerable portion
of 1t in theaters, do not rise up and
periodically hang a newspaper editor
and a theatical manager. The news
papers generally contain al article up
on the state of political parties, putting
that which the particular journal rep
resents; city article recommending
the purchase of some particular security
in which those connected with the jour
nal are interested; about half dozen
bad Jokes; the same number of fats
divers; a dozen or two extracts from con-
temporaries, generally beginning "our
talented and sympathetic confrere
writes" and considerable number of
paragraphs which are paid for, urging all
to buy hair washes, soap and other such
articles, The tbeaters-I am not speak
ing of the acting-are perhaps shade
worse than the newspapers. They are
invariably filthy, and so Ill ventilated
that when it is warm one is almost
stifed. The seats are narrow, too close
together, and generally i'll constructed.
Unless premium be paid, 1t Is difficult
to get one from which the stage can be
seen. The corridors are pervaded by
hideous old hags called onvreuses, and
these ancient harridans almost tear the
cloaks off the backs of the ladies in
order to obtain fee for keeping them.
Their idea of restoring them is to hurl
them at the owners while the last act is
proceeding. But lie petit banc nuisance
is even still worse. The hags thrust lit-
tie wooden stools under the feet of
ladies, whether they want them or not,
and then, before the play is over, come
round and demand payment for them.

Where Is RarnIIm-

For many years peculiar person,
known as the " Leather Man." says a
Waterbury, Conn, dispatch has travelled
through Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Whence he comes and whittier he goes
nobody knows, yet, for at least gen.
Grafton, he has kept up his periodical
peregrinations, appearing regularly
every spring and fall. He is held in
awe by some of the old people, many Of
whom remember him as appearing ex-
actly the same when they were young,
and children are afraid of him. His APP
parel is of leather throughout, new
patches being added from time to time.
About all the figures known IN trigonom-
etry appear upon the coat and trousers,
while his moccasins are decorated with
triangles stitched with red string, trape-
zoids fringed with green yarn, and semi
circles done In cardinal. A slouched hat
covers his head. Out from under this
escapes a few long gray hairs, which are
never any grayer, but are materially
longer than when he first made his APP
pearance. Upon his furrowed face is
always a coarse, stubby beard, never
any smoother, never any rougher, and
his fngernails always preserve the same
uncanny length

"Oh, but I don't want you to. The

Here he makes a pause to allow the
shot to strike, and then continues:
-" citizens of Detroit-the most en-
inent and prominent citizens of Detroit

"Ah = says the other, as he begins
to melt.
"We desire to take five of the most
prominent citizens of this county. In
the sketches we desire to show how they

SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.
A Virginia Boy Shoots Companion for
Asking for Chew of Tobocco.

LYNoHBURG, Va, November 3d.
Last evening on the farm Of Gen. Gran
vile Norman in Bedford County two
boys, John SpooIer and Richard New
come, aged 10 and IA years, were sitting
in the stable yard talking. Newcome
was chewing tobacco. Spooler re-
marked that he looked as If he enjoyed
chewing, whereupon the other remarked
that he had always hated borrowing and
had made it the rule Of his life that he
would shoot the first man that ever
asked him for a chew of tobacco.
Spooler then seid, "Dick, give me a
chew" Newcome put his hand in his
pocket and said, "If you ask me again
I'll shoot you" Spooler repeated the
request, and his companion drew
small pistol and shot him III the stom-
ach. The wounded boy lived only an
hour. The two had been fast friends
and playmates. Since the commission
of the deed the young murderer has
been overwhelmed with grief and said
he did it in q fit of passion.

FEMININE FANCIES.

IT can be officially announced that
last years fur-lined circular will be
this winter, whether made
over" or not.
GLASS vegetable dishes should be- in
cluded among the novelties in table fur
niture. They are of odd patterns, and
withal exceedingly pretty.
Embroidered initial hatbands are now
discarded by the swells of the day be-
cause, they say, every little cad about
town has one i'll his Derby.
ct THINK" says Mrs. Parvenu, "that
the timber of Nine. Sembrich's voice
is very grand, for, do you know, it
sounded way up among the rafters."
FANCY colored and fringed table
clothes, with napkins to match, which
were introduced two years ago, have had
their day and are voted common.
Car inkstands, made of china, are
something new. Lift up the cats head
and there's your ink. Simple little
things amuse fashionable people now
days.
In view of the present condition of
fashionable society, the little book cal
led Don't, put forth by the Appletons
and designed to prevent social blunder-
ing, should have an enormous sale.
EVERYBODY has something satirical to
say about the lady who sent out invita-
tons for dinner party the other day
printed with the type writer. The
style is not likely to become fashionable.
WHEN mothers set their daughters an
example in immodest style of evening
dress they should not be too severely
condemned for following it. Improprie-
ty in costume, like patience, has its own
reward.

their valet to the new Opera House to
guard the box against intruders and to
do the applause for their masters party.

LIFE in Flat is the title of dainty
little book published by "a gentleman
of leisure for private circulation among
his friends. Copies are in great demand,
for we'll known people are, under I'M
recognizable names, made to figure in
not very complimentary light.
"JoHN," said Mrs. Parvenue to her
husband, "there is to be another Eliot
Bible sold, and you had better buy it. %
"What for?" inquired Mr.. Parvenue.
Because" said his wife, "it's the new
version-the revised edition-and we
must have it or people will talk, you
know"
IT is related that the bride of an
Anglo. American wedding in London the
other day designed" the exquisite
dresses IN which her bridesmaids ap-
peared, and they certainly were credit
to her good taste and ingenuity. Who
shall say that the fashionable young
lady's sphere is limited?
ONE of the wraps worn at the opening
of the New York Opera House was q
cloak of ruby colored velvet, trimmed
profusely with natural lynx fur and ruby
chenille fringe, the effect being beauti-
full No doubt there were only two of
these wraps made-the other probably
being in the wardrobe of the Princess of
Wales!

slap on the shoulder. "I'll tell you

better do the thing in style. Get dol

The members of the family were not
too close to invest in fancy stock, and
the father and sons owned very val
liable Jersey COW In common, and "the
Jersey" seemed to be always present
IN the thoughts of each one of them.
One morning after Joe had settled down
on farm of his own younger brother
made his appearance at his house and
said, half crying: "Joe, we're in trouble
at home"
q" The Jersey isn't dead, is she ?"
shrieked the alarmed Joe.

the brother, wiping his eyes; "grand-

Uncle Abe and the 'Possum.
From the Nashville Sunday Journal

Uncle Abe was Virginia negro. He
was fond Of 'possum. Having caught
one in persimmon tree he got his wife,
Dinah' to cook it for him. Abe, having
no appetite for it when it was "done
brown, requested that it should be
placed in the cupboard until morning.
The favor WAS granted, and Uncle Abe
laid down before log fire and went to
sleep. His son, Nose, coming in late,
got the 'possum and ate it, laid the
bones down at Uncle Abe's head,
smeared the old mans face and hands
with the grease, and went to bed. The
following morning Uncle Abe awoke and
asked Dinah, "Whar's dat 'possum? ?"
In de cupboard, which she explored
and found it missing.
Returning, Dinah inquired: "Abe,
when did you eat dat 'possum Oars
de bones at your head, yer face smells
of 'possum, and yer hams are greasy"
Maybe 1 did eat dat 'possum, but ii
I did it did me less good dan any pos

A Rows Disappointment.

a Lewiston (Me.) boy one day learned
In some way that furs, and especially
cats fur, had risen in price and were in
great demand. That night neighbours
cat fell a victim to the youngsters
greed. The boy talked learnedly ffurs
at the table the next day. His eyes
were fixed on the family cat, but she was
unfortunately white, and white muffs are
not In fashion, and the youngster knew
it. The cats skin was removed and
stretched upon board, and black cats
skin summed on the back of the shed
throughout the day. The next day after
the mills shut down, there was not a
more industrious boy than he. Every
furrier in the city looked down that
evening into an anxious boys face, and
was obliged to decline an invoice of cats
furs cheap for cash. Tt was tired boy
who climbed into his little bed that
night and vowed vengeance on the man
who was responsible for the exertion.
He told his story at the mill next day.
Some one told him that cat skin was
not so much first class fur as it used
to be. but that it was great thing for
spavins on horses. The Eext day the
boy was industrious again. Every
stable keeper IN the TWO clues was III
terviewed by bright-eYed boy on the
subject of spawned horses. Some of
them paid no attention. Some of them
looked over his goods, while the boy
waited expectantly. "It nearly broke
my heart" says one lively man, "to see
the tears gather in the boys eyes when
I laughed at him. I wouldn'ta laughed
if I'd known he was in earnest" The
boy didn't sell his fur. He went home
with it and tackled it on the board again
and stored it away in the shed chamber.
Some one told him that cat was liable to
be fashionable any day, and now the boy
awaits the coming millennium for cats.
