A Stingy Man.

Talking about stlngy men," said the
conductor of Pullman car, as he sat in
the smoking room while the porter was
doing the work, "the worst specimen
ever saw came out of Detroit the Other
night. His wife, great woman, was
with him, and they took seats in the or.
binary coach. Pretty soon he came back,
selected bertha single upper-and
then went back to his wife. Pretty soon
he returned and went to bed alone. About
an hour after this was going through
the train when the fat woman stopped
me and wanted to know if had any
empty berths. l told her there were
plenty of them, when she brought her
lips together like wise and clenched her
hands as she said: 1 thought as much.
Here, take my bag with you, and make
me up the best section you have. I'll be
back as soon as the train stops again.
You see that selfish cuss of husband of
hers had told her there wasn't an empty
berth left, but he had found chance to
share a bunk with an acquaintance.
He was the maddest man you ever saw
next morning, when he had to hand over
five dollars for her nights rest, in adj
dition to the $3.50 he had paid for his
own. He gave the porter only two cents
for shining his shoes, and seowled so the
porter didn't dare kick for more. Oh,
but he vas tough one.n

The DeacOn'S Dog,

"A good story is told of the presence
OF mind of New Hampshire deacon
who'was veryfond of dogs. He had
one valuable settef that he had trained
himself, and that understood his every
word and slightest gesture with an al
most human intelligence.
One evening at prayer meeting the
good old man was offering an earnest
exhortation and the people sat with
bowed heads, giving earnest attention.
The audience faced the stand where
sat the pastor; the doors opened on
either side. All at once one of
the doors. which had been left aiar,
was pushed open, and the handsome
head of the deaeon.s ,sfaverite setter
was thrust in..N The head was followed
by the body, and the dog in toto had
just started with a joyful bound to-
ward his master. :
She deacon generally knew what
was going on about him, whether he
was praying or shooting, and the first
movement. of the intruder attracted
his attention. Quick as flash the
deacon, raising his. hand with warn
ing gesture exclaimed: "Thou hast
given. us our charge; help us to keep
it." AT the emphasized word, so well
known to his canine ear, the handsome
brute stopped, as if shot. on the very
threshold of the door, with his intelli-
gent eye fixed on his master. -.
h.the same. unmoved tone, with
slight .Yaye. of the extended hand;
eve would not return back to Thee
with our duty on earth uhfulfilled.p
Again the perfect training of the dea-.
cons ret was made evident; for with
out whimpef Returned as noiselessly
as he had entered and remained quiet

TERRIBLE BATTLE
Between tho Bri,isk and tho Ara

notWoon tho Brltish and tho Arabs.
The rebels opened fire ON Gen. Gaham's
iorccs recently at night, making the bivouac
exceedingly unpleasant, The Arabs kept up
persistent fusilade till Just before daybreak At
sunrise Gardiner sun aud 9pounder were
turned against the rebels, who were within
1900 yards Of the British position, and afforded
most excellent target. The Arabs were soon
compelled to retire 10 their main positions near
the lanai wells. The advance was again re-
sumed, when immense hordes rushed upon the
British from both sides. A terrible struggle
ensued The Arabs fought with the greatest
pluck and bravado, but nearly all were killed
The second brigade met with obstinate resis-
lance, and was ut one time repulsed. Tho
Gatling and Gardiner guns fell into tho hands
of the rebels, and were only recovered after
severe fight. The rebels, under cover Of the
smoke, crept close up to the British lines and
dashed against the marines and the 65th and
Black Watch regiments, throwing themselves
upon the bayonets Of the British, and giving
and receiving fe rful wounds, Great confusion
ensued, The Goth began to retreat, crowding
upon 4e marines, when all became inextrica-
bly, nfsNed Gen. Graham and his staff did
their utmost to rally the men, retreat
ing 500 yards to enable them to reform. As.
sistance from the other brigade prevented
serious disaster. The pluck shown by the
rebels was unexampled, Numbers of rebels still
hover around the camp and fire when cattle
are being watered. The native guides bolted
when the square was broken. The rebel loss is
estimated at 1000 killed and 6000 wounded,

GOODS ADVANCING.
Flutter in the Leather Trade.

There is a boom in the leather market.
Within week prices have advanced. to 10.
per cent, and leather men predict. rise of
10 por cent more. For years past the leather
market has been depressed, and leather dealers
have had a hard time getting along. Men won't
into business on borrowed capital, and run
ming at a loss, made it impossible for legitimate
dealers to compete with them. These men
failed in time, and their failures cleared the
mir and lessened production. The importation
OF foreign hides has fallen off 80 per cent.
Nearly 100000 hides less than was imported
in 1881 were imported in 1888. There was a
cattle epidemic In South America in 1881 and
1852 and more cattle were slaughtered for
their hides There is no epidemic now. As
result of these and other causes, the stock of
leather in sight has been growing gradually
smaller and smaller. None Of the buyers seem
to have taken alarm until recently. The man.
uiaclurers finding they must pay more for
stock, at once advanced their prices for their
goods the advance being 81 case. This
means rise of about cents on shoes and

WANTED FRUIT.
The Curious Way I'm which n Miner,

The Curious Way I'm which a Miner,
suddenly Grown Hitch, was Affected.
The sensations of suddenly becoming
rich, although we have never experi-
enced them, act upon different temper
aments in strangely various ways.
During a conversation in regard to
sudden wealth, q man who has had
much experience In mining camps,
said to an Arkansaw I1areier writer:
an 1876, while in Rosita, Coloiado,'
had ample opportunities for studying
the capricious freaks of men who be-
came suddenly wealthy, One man who
struck it rich, yielded to passion
which he had for pointer dogs, and
bought every slim looking dog in the
neighborhood. Another man wanted
horses, another clothes, and another
stage coaches, although he had no
actual use for them. The most enthu-
siastic man. however, was fellow
named Edwin Bassic. He came to
Rosita poor but determined. He
pitched the tents of his fortunes on q
spot that no other man would have,
and began work with will and fixed
ness OF purpose that created laughter.
He was very poor and it was all that
he could do to- provide bread for his
wife and children. Many a time he
went home hungry, but still with a
minersundadntea courage and mans
strong arm, he worked on. One day he.
struck rich lead. Intense excitement,
prevailed in the town, and from.a a. Wis.,
ionary laborers he became the man of
the hour. Still he had realized no
money, and his household condition was
anything but prosperous, but a change
awaited him. The second day after
his strike, he sold an interest in his
mine. for "A large sum of money. With
"a flush of triumph, signalling that his
hopes had been realized, he gathered
up his suddenly acquired f6ftune and
rushed to the nearest store There he.
bought all the canned. fruit He did
not stop at this, but he. went on. from
one store to another buying canned
fruit, He was not satisfied until he
had bought 1.-the canned fruit in town,
and even then he seemed to lament be-
cause there were no more canned fruit
worlds, TO, conquer: Delivery wagons
were constantlydriving up to his house,
and cans, in showers of glittefing tin
were flying from his back windows.
Every child had can in his hand, and
the fruit famine thus caused in the
town, created great excitement.
Wagons were dispatched to the nearest
railway station and kilograms, ordering
canned fruit, were sent to distant
cities. - Itseemed that there was de-
mand for nothing but canned fruit,and
even the drqg-stores ordered this hish-,
ly necessary article of diet. When the
excitement subsidized, the rich miners

facing. Naturally, they got enough
after awhile, but cans were so thick in
the neighborhood that citizens COM
mittee ordered them to be carried
away. Bassic now lives! in Bridge
port, Conn; and the last l heard of him,
he had settled down into a permanent
enjoyment of good clothes and canned
fruit"

Charles Z. jackson, the lads father, broker
in Boston, and notified him as to the nature of

the authorities agreed, with the consent of the
heirs oil Mr. Webster, not to institute crimi-
nal prosecution against the lad, on account of
his youth, Mr.. jackson agreeing to replace the

Raking Brewster,

William A Cook, in his testimony before the
Springer committee, said that the government
had been badly used in the Qttsnan compromise.
1t had got little, and the thieves and their coun-
sci gt much. 1t was generally understood
that Richard Crowley got large fee from the
defense in this case, and that George Bliss got
81 900, not as n fee but ms present, which had
to be forced upon him. Atty-Gen Brewster's
conduct in ordering the dismissal of the case
was approving the compromise, was extra
judicial and unprofessional. He read from law
books to show that Brewster had compounded
felony. He thought the attorney general
ought to be impeached.
