DANIELS MEAN TRiCx.


 '1 knew I'd bring up here later or sooner,' he said to the captian at the Central Station yesterday as an officer walked him in.
 He was mud from head to heel, he limped on his left leg, and the offer of a cent would have set him to crying like lost child.
 "What's the matter with your" asked the Captain.
 "Nothin', only if you have got any grimfaced death around here, you can bring it on as soon as you please! Pm broke up, cleaned out and ready to be- come cherub."
 There was silence as the blotter was brought out and pen hunted up, and when they asked his name he walled out
 "Put me down as Abraham Lyons, deceased, for 1 don't want to live any longer. 1 never expected to live to have a son like Daniel go back on me this way"
 "Whats the matter with DanielP" "Gentlemen," he replied as he laid a hand ornamented with seven warts on the desk, "'m a widerer, and Daniel is my only son. Last night was to have been married to the cutest chunkiest, sassiest little widder in Wayne County. I was so happy that I'd have sold my last pair of socks tc pay outlawed debts. 1 kinder trod around on ar. grinned at everybody and everything. Hang me if I didn't take off my hat three times to q COW and hope her family was as well as could be expected with the bottom knocked out of the milk-pail market"
 "Well!"
 "Well, l sent Daniel over to see whether I should wear white vest or black one, and what did he do but box his poor old father up Went right back on the parent who has stood ur fur him like a stone wall behind d briar bush Went and wrecked his poor old father on the rocks of deceit and decep ton l"
 "How?"
 "Married her. Went and fell in love with the woman who was to be his step' mother and made her his wife. Yes my own son Daniel did that-the very son whom I've sot up with in sickness an1 nursed through diversity, Who can We trust now? Whither are wt drifting?"
 He was locked up to sober off and tC let the layers of mud dry, and wher Daniel came down in the afternoon tt see him he retired to the darkest corne of the cell and called out:
 "Go way, base offspring! A sol who'll sneak in on his father as you dit can never expect forgivness. Have m. funeral strickly private and you needn' mind about a tombstone!'
The Arizona champion., 1884-05-17

The following letter taken from the Covington Commonwealth, was writ ten by father to a son of dissipated habits:
 My DEAR SON: What would you think of yourself if you should come to our bedside every night, and waking us, tell us you would not allow us to sleep any more? That is what you are doing and that is why l am up. Your mother is nearly worn out with turning from side to side, and with signing because you won't let her sleep. That mother who nursed you in your infancy, toiled for you in your childhood, and looked with pride and joy upon you as you were growing up to manhood, as she counted on the comfort and support you would give her in her declining years.
 We read of most barbarous manner in which one of the Oriental nations punishes some of it's criminals. Iii by cutting the flesh from the body in small pieces-slowly cutting the limbs, be- ginning with the fingers and toes, one at time until the wretched victim dies That is just what you are doing-you are killing your mother by inches. You have planted many of the white hairs that are appearing so thick in her head before their time. Your cruel hand is drawing the lines of sorrow on her dear face, making her look prematurely old. You might as well stick your knife into her body every time you come near her, for your conduct is stabbing her to the heart. You might as well bring her | coffin and force her into it, for you are pressing her toward it with very rapid steps.
 Would you tread on her body if pros- trated on the floor? And yet with un- grateful foot you are treading on her heart and crushing cut life and joy. no, l need not say joy, for that is a word we have long ceased to use, because you have taken it away from us. Of course we have to meet our friends with smiles, but they little know the bitterness with in. You have taken the roses cut of your sisters pathway, and scattered thorns instead; and from the pain they inflict scalding tears are often seen coursing down her checks Thus you are blighting her life as well as ours.
 And what can you promise yourself for the future? Look at tbe miserable, bloated, ragged wretches whom you meet every day, and see in them the exact picture of what you are coming to, and will be in a few years. Then the end drunkard's grave and drunkard's s doom for the Bible says: "No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom" Where then will you be? If not in the kingdom of God you must be somewhere else.
 Will not these considerations induce you to quit at once and for all time :? And may God help you, for He can and will if you earnestly ask it.
 Your affectionate but sorrow stricken father.

FLORIDA FIsHERMAN's STORY.

The Florida fishermen are like all the rest of us. While l was stopping at a small hotel or tavern down on the St. Johns River the proprietor asked me in to play game of pool one day, while we were awaiting the arrival of party Of gentlemen who were to join us from Jacksonville. The landlord tossed me cue, and as l applied the chalk I noticed that the cue was peculiarly heavy and had the appearance of polished ivory. He used a cue of similar pattern, but the others in the rack were quite ordinary. The covering of the table also attracted my attention. In stead Of the usual green baize it looked like a peculiar species of smoothly tanned leather of dark gray color.
 "What is this cover made off" I inquired.
 "That?" replied the Southerner, "why, that's a piece of catfish skin. It makes the finest cover in the world when it's nicely tanned and stretched"
 "You don't mean to say you got that off of one fish ?" 1 said incredulously, as l failed to discover single flaw or seam in the cover. "Oh, yes; that isn't all, either. There was enough left over to make me fine pair of waterproof overalls. Yes, sir, l caught that fish year ago last summer about mile below Cypress Point, in the St. Johns River. We had to harpoon him and land him by means of flat boat and a block and tackle. Perhaps you have noticed the peculiarity of these cues, too. They were made from the horns of that same catfish"
 "And these balls" added the fisher man, as he emptied the fifteen colored balls from wicker basket and arranged them for the game, "are another product of the same catch"
 "llow in the world ?" I asked, trying to look serious.
 "Well, sir, you may not believe it. but l sent fifteen of that fsh's teeth m to shop in Jacksonville and had them made into balls on turning lathe. ."-I An Angler, in the Philadelphia Times.

MICHIGAN SUGAR CAMP.
Few Naples to be See, hut Plenty of Good
 yielding Barrels.

One of the finest maple sugar camps in the West is situated right here in Detroit. The camp, which, when first started, occupied one room in base ment, has now extended over the entire underground floor of large building. A reporter, on visiting this maple grove, found the horny handed farmers hard at work sugaring off Great barrels of the poorest sort of Cuba sugar, damp, dark and elimmy, stood in the cellar, like executed Cubans, with their heads eff. Shallow copper tanks simmered over coal fires.
 "Yes," said the bronzed agrcultur turist, "now is our busy season. Weuse up several barrels of muscovada sugar a day. We dump the sugar into'the pans and stir it up with hot water. Then Vt add the sand and ground leaf and twigs"-
 "I don't twig," said the reporter "What ground leaf do you use, and why?"
 ,"Oh, we get maple leaves and break em' up. Nothing pleases man so mucl as to find bit of maple leaf or snap pedoff twig in his lump of maple sugar. "And the sand ?"
 ooh, well, sand is cheap enough anC helps big in weighing out the chunks People are sort of educated up to expect ing sand in their maple sugar."
 "You use real maple sugar to give the flavor, suppose?'
 "Bless you, no; that's the old-fash- toned way, and it's expensive. No, we have no tavoring extracts in them car boys, and we can turn out any brand o maple that's called for.'
 The boy was lading out the dark-look ing fluid into the moulds that held about pound each some moulds held five pounds. Another poured the more liquiC stuff into cans labelled, "Pure Vermont Maple Syrup; Beware of limitations"
 'I suppose you sell most of it in the city here?"
 "No, very little. The greater part goes to farmers in the country, who bring it in again in farm wagons and sell it around the streets at houses where the people will only have the pure article, and who won't buy" from the regular stores."
