Grandfather,s Clock.

A clock that was brought from Ger
mnny by the ancestors of Edward Swiv-
elm ZIP is still keeping time in his
house in Huntington, Long Island. The
vessel in which the Swivels sailed was
wrecked, but the passengers and most of
the cargo was saved, and this quaint
timepiece finally rested in the house of
its owners, who settled in the Cumber-
land valley, in Pennsylvania. Indians
destroyed the settlement, took many cap
tives, and much plumber including the
clock.
The Swivels, who were among the cap
tives were liberated by the Indians
shortly afterward for some special ser
vice rendered, and they settled in the
Juniata valley. Two years later a party
of Indians trading in this valley ex-
changed the old timepiece for ammuni-
ton to the very family from which ithad
been stolen in the Indian raids in the
Cumberland valley, and for 169 years it
has been giving the hours, minutes, and
seconds to its short-lived possessors.-

From the Merchant Traveller.

From the Merchant Traveller.
"See here, Mr.. Editor" said an irate
woman, coming into the sanctum and
leaving the door open, "see here, what's
this in your mean little newspaper"
Really, madam, there is so much in
it, considering that it's only 50 a year in
advance, with liberal reductions to clubs,
that cannot at first blush tell you what
it is"
'"'Well. don't talk your jaw of, but tell
me what you mean by this reference to
my late husband %
"Ah! madame, the good, kind soul who
died only yesterday ?"
"The same. But you didn't think
was planting one after each meal, did
you?"
Hardly that, madam, bat what do
you refer to ?''
'Why, sir, this passage in the
obituary where you say he was consign-
ed to roasting place with his fathers F."
"Ahem, madam, ahem; let me see," and
and the editor grabbed the paper and
gazed intently at the words. At beg your
pardon, madam; it should have been a
resting place. and if you will come down
to the Office this afternoon you can have
the scalp of any Internal compositoF in
the Office. and I will tear it off for you.
We can stand some things, but that style
is too narrowing on the feeling of a good
paying subscriber like yourself

man Lincoln from Pittsburg, a relative,
who rescued her from her degraded po-
sition and has taken her to his home.
Amanda. who has been known here only
by an assumed name, is the daughter Of
a gentleman who was governor of this
state, a member of the United States
house of representatives and senate and
DISTINGUISHED officer in the late war.
Her father is now dead, and his death is
said to have been fastened by the way
ward life of his favorite child Amanda
possessed a genial disposition, and her
rare beauty, accomplishments and ex-
allied social standing, caused her to be
courted by leading gentlemen OF the ma
ton. She was the recognized belle Of
her native city, the capital of her native
state, where she dwelt while her father
was governor, and was a queen of society
at Washington when she resided there.
Her parents desired her to marry
wealthy man whom she did not love, and
to please them she promised to wed him,
but on the appointed day eloped with a
man named Paul, much her social and
intellectual inferior, who afterward cruel
" deserted her. She then wrote her pa
rents, asking forgiveness and permission
to return home, but they cOldly turned
her away. Alone, disheartened and pen
niless, she fell, and, as last resort, en-
tered house of iIl-fame in a Western
city. She came here two years ago from
Columbus, but drifted from bad to worse,
and for the last year was in the lowest
dive in the West End. While here she
became involved in a difficulty and was
arrested for assault and battery, for
which she was sentenced to the work
house. For the past few years her rel
atives have been securing the country
for her without success, but finally
learned Of her whereabouts from letter
written by her to former friends asking
assistance. One of her sisters is the wife
of millionaire in Pittsburg.

Lotta,s Luck.
London Letter.

Last night Lolita appeared again to a
very good audience. She had cut out this
hymn and other Objectionable things up
on the advice of discreet friends. There
was not hiss during the evening. She
was often called before the curtain, and
the performance was a distinct success.
The audience resented the mean and un-
worthy opposition Of the opening night,
and once more showed that English peo-
pie will always have fair play. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bancroft, who were not playing.
occupied with their beautiful young son,
a box; and 1 saw again many members
OF the aristocracy and more "mashers''
than have seen outside the Gaiety in
any theatre for many day. Mrs. Ban
croft sent Lolita an equisite bouquet after
the play. Mr.. Labouchere sent the "1ittle
lady" very pretty note after her open
ing night, as did also one of the Pail Mall
Gazette staff. Sunday her handsome
apartments at the West End hotel, the
Continental, were the scene of much con-
graduation as we'll as of sympathy for
the unfortunate circumstances of the
opening night. One very old member of
the nobility called Sunday, besides a
number ofyoung aIistocrats. Lolita will
yet be rage in London.
