They SrftIed Next uay.

In Albany, n. Y, party of leyisla-
tors arose from the green-covered table
with empty pockets and craving stom-
achs. 1t was too late to get anything
to eat at their respective hotels. 50 they
adjourned to we'll known restaurant
and enjoyed Il hearty repast.
''How are you going to liquidate!''
asked one of the party, picking his
teeth refectively.
THAT s what I've been thinking Of
said another, who halls from the land
of bards, saints and statesmen, ''and /
want you to stand by me in what I'm
going to do"
The waiter was rung for and to him
the Celt explained thus:
BOSS we've got into a little difficult
ty here. Each one insists on paying
the bill, and, Is we are all pretty flush,
neither one will give way. Now, then,
TO settle it, propose that we blindfOld
you, and that the first man you catch
pays the score. 1t will be worth a
couple of dollars to you."
The waiter grinningly consen ted;
they blindfolded him with his own
apron, and he started with outstretched
hands to capture his man. After tum-
bling over everything In the room and
sustaining several severe bruises, he re-
moved the blindfold and found himself
the only occupant OF the room! The
festive feasters had slid out as soon as
the apron had been tied.
1t will not take away any from the
joke to say that the bill was settled and
an explanation given the next morning.

Franklin and Adams ~ Reom-mates.

Here is q funny old story, which has
never seen print, and it is true, having
come down among the traditions OF the
old families of Massachusetts,: Some
time during tine revolutionary period,
or little after, John Adams and Ben
jamin Franklin were dispatched from
Philadelphia, / believe, to Massachu-
sets on a public elYand. Adams had .
mortal antipathy. shared by him along
with the majority of mankind at that
day, against the night air. he believed
that if he kept his bedroom window
open even a crack at night he would
surely die. Frenklin, on the other
hand, was disbeiiever III the theory OF
danger in the night air, and he had
many arguments with Adams thereon.
Circumstances, and the crowded condI-
tion of many of the taverns they
stopped at on their journey eastward,
compelled them frequently to occupy
the same room, and often the same bed.
Adams always opposed raising the wIn
dow. and poor Ben nearly suffocsted
rcviled Adams on waking for his
wretched theory of the deadly effects of
natures universal medium of breath.
One night Ben siyiy raised window In
their common chamber, but Adams, on
the alert for his friends little games,
insisted that it should be closed at once.
Said crafty Ben: "Now, MIR. Adams. We
will go to bed with the window up, and
L will convince you why it will not be
harmful to us to permit it to stay open.
Jf L cannot convince you OF the reason
ableness of my theory, / will myself
get up and close the window" Adams
weakly consented. and Ben began to
reason with him. Finally poor Adams
was talked to sleep, and Ben TRANQUILITY
resigned himself to slumber. Next
morning great was Adams horror at
finding the window up, but not having
died during the night, aud feeling no
i'll effects from having breathed the
night air. he became q convert to sly
BenIamin's night-air theory. The author
of y history of America during the
colonial epoch told me tnis anecdote as
something amusing. which had hitherto
escaped type.

Gotha's Crematory.

The practice OF cremation appears to
be gradually gaining ground In Ger
many, there beng a steady increase in
the number of bodies brought for this
purpose to Gotha which contains the
sole establishment in the empire. 1t is
under the control of the city authOri-
ties, and the cremations up to the end
of 1882 were 81, viz: II in 1879, 16 in
1880, 33 in 1881, and Is up to Septem-
Der, 1882. All parts Of Europe con-
tributed to the business of the institu-
tion, while several bodies have been
brought thither from America, in which
country the cost OF fashionable inter-
ment is so great that it is but a slight
ly increased expense to have the re-
mains cremated at Gotha. The primer
pal items Of this expense are: The re-
moval of its corpse from the railway
station to the crematOry, 80 shillings,
and the cremation itself, 81 los. The
Gotha establishment, which was erect
ed 1873, is very complete, and cost for
the machinery and buildings nearly
e5, 900. The apparatus is made after
the italian model, and consists of a
large coal-furnace for the production of
the gas, which is conducted by a pipe
TO the heating chamber in which the
body is placed, this chamber being 81
feet in length b. IL feet in height, and
divided into two parts. The gas is first
OF all let into the nearest section,
where it burns until a white heat is
produced. AT the time of the
operation the body is lowered into the
second compartment and the gas ad-
mitted from the other one, when the zinc
case rapidly melts, the garments being
!hen consumed, and the whole prycess
occupying about two hours.

ONLY A BRAKEMAN.

Only brakeman killed by the train;
Only brakeman by accident slain
Onward, rush onward, no time for delay;
Blow the shrill whistle and hasten away.
Only a brakeman cried the wild throng;
Only a brakeman been called by Death
gong.
Why should the eye glisten? Why should
the heart ache?
'Tis only a brakeman who's set his las
brake.
, Only brakeman is flashed through th'
air;
Only a brakeman for his body prepare;
On the morrow it's shipped as poor com
mon freight
As only brakeman who has gone to hi:
fate.
Only brakeman the editors write;
Only brakeman! twas late in the night
He was doing his duty-the train broke IL
two;
When down to his death, the brakeman fell
through.
Only brakeman but the pride of somt
heart
Only brakeman but in some busy mart
Are eyes that are weeping, and homes that
are hushed,
Because poor brakeman was yesterday
crushed.
Only brakeman! but true hearted boy;
Only brakeman but a fond mothers joy
For whom there's no mGffle for the coarse
iron wheel
That grinds on her heart as on the grooved
steel

Book OF Mormon.

The Book Of Mormon has commonly
been credited to the Rev. solomon
SpaldIng, a Presbyterian miuister-s
romance purport ng to give the origin
and history of the American Indians.
He sought TO find a publisher for ais
story III Pittsburg, but WIS unsuccess-
full. The author died few years later.
The manuscript Of this story unaccount-
ably disappeared, though 1t was gener-
ally believed that one Sidney Rigdon, "a
printer, aiterward Mormon Bishop,
got possession of the same, altered and
added to it, and, thus altered and smend-
ed, WAS sent forth to the world as the
Mormon Bible. This point is explained

A Cute LAndlady.

"For cuteness think my landlady is

wanted s15 month for it. L IJewed her

to feeling at home, in she popped one
day with Excuse one, but here's gen.
tleman looking through the house. A
chap came in with her, looked all
around, and wound up by saying: This
room Just suits me, and Ill give you
SIS month for 1t. When will 1t be
yacant?' You can imagine the result.
She said she was very sorry to disturb
me, and wouldn't like to have me leave;
but as I could see she could do better
with another party, ETC., could stay
for SIG If wanted to, aud then shed
be out 80 q month. But was such q

What Prevented?


He had been stopping at hotel for
day or two, seemingly unnOticed by any
of the clerks or employees, and it struck
him so queerly that he sat down be-
side man, whu appeared to be guest,
and SAID:
"Good many of us here?"
"Yss."
''Some going and some coming all the
timer"
yes"
''I don't see why couldn't walk out
and take the train for home without
paying my bill
The other made no reply, and after a
minute the first one continued:
"What's to prevent me from jumping
my bill, as have no baggage?"
''Oh, nothing much, except that Pm
employed here as spotter, and have
had my eyes on you ever since you reg

Ten minutes later the stranger settled
his bill up to the next day noon, but he
continued TO carry the look of man
who'd like to kick somebody.

Heavy Guns.

Guns have been constructed claimed
to have capacity to throw proiectiles a
distance of eight miles or more with
gunpowder, but the claim has not been
accompanied by the assurance that any
great injury to persons or property ls
likely to occur. 1t is well understood
that at the extreme range attainable
with gunpowder the penetrative force
of the projectiie is spent and lit
tie injury results; and that so sensitive
an explosive as dynamite cannot be con-
veyed within the missile by the abrupt
action Of gunpowder, as the shock
would explode the dynamite before the
shell containing it could leave the gun.
While the new proiectile thrown by
compressed air is capable OF an effectiye
range as great as that of the ordinary
gunpowder missile, it, destructive power
Is developed Mt the instant of contact
with the object upon which it strikes by
the explosion of Its dynamite cartridge
regardless of the distance it may have
aveledtr.
One of the advantages claimed for
this invention is It's adaptabllty to har-
Dor AMI river defenses, owing to the
small cost and short time requisite to
construct the necessary apparatus. No
special machinery or tools are required,
as any shop, suitable Tor constructing
steam engines, could be used without
the cost aud time required to buIld Il
Woolwich arsenal and shops. To de-
lead rivers ard harbors 1t is said that
small steam launches provided with
dynamite guns and apparatus could be
effectively used against armOred ships;
anu even smaller craft with portable
reservoirs, previously prepared, could,
under cover of darkn,s', hurl these
destructive charges OF dynamite upon
the deck of ship without disclosing
to the enemy their location, Dy flash or
sound of gunpowder, or the sparks from
n steamer funnel.
Technical experiments with the gun
and dart are being conducted by order
OF the War Department, at Fort RamIl-
ton, under tue supervision of Colonel
John Hamilton. commandant OF Forts
Hamilton, WadsworIh and Lafayette,
and under the special direction OF Lieu
tenant Z. l.. ZalInsky, AL expert at-
tlllery. 1t 10 believed by may promI-
nent officers that the experiments will
lead 10 satisfactory results. The larger
experimental gun nearly completed at
the De,amater Works is another step Ill

present de;ences, aud an nimplement we'll

especially constructed with view to
speed and expert handing. The
opinion has also been expressed that

some New Ones.

A country tramp who brought up at
a farmhouse few days ago claimed to
have had all manner Of bad luck, and
among other things he mentioned that
three fingers of his right hand had been
so badly frozen during cold snap in
Dakota, that the doctor had amputated
them.
''Let me gee" said the farmer, and 8
dirty paw was held out in response.
"Why, your fingers are all here and
all right"
''Oh, of course, they are all right
now, but during the three years it took
to grow new ones L got so badly In
debt that 1 lost all hopes and took to
trampingl"
He got his dinner, but the farmer
was In Detroit the next day making IN
auiries about the wonderful western
climate,
