How They Got BOunties.
from the New York Tribune. |


s. I was in BARRIERS shop where old
Tammany Hall stood, opposite the City
Hall park, where we dyed hundreds OF
the bounty jumpers. A fellow would go
over there with red hair and beard, en-,
list and get his 1000 to So, 900 bounty
and come right over to our shop and
have himself dyed black, hair and beard,
and ey ebrows, too; we would charge him
$25 for it, because we knew that he
couldn t kick. Thus dyed, he would go
right back to the rendezvous and again
enlist under another name, draw his
bounty, and come over, and this time we
would cut all his hair and beard off and
make number three of him, and I have
known them to go back after that and
enlist a third time. 0, they were good
days for barbers,'' exclaimed my friend
shut bad for taxpayers.

An Honest Verdict.
From the San Francisco Post.


A man had met girl in a lonely
place and forcibly kissed her. She was
terribly indignant, and had him ar
rested. She gave an account on the
witness stand of how he gazed at her
intently, and then, suddenly throwing
his arms around her imprinted kiss
upon her lips. The prisoner made no
defense, and the jury was excepted to
promptly convict him of assault. They
returned to the courtroom. "The ju-
iu-iury w-w-would like to ask the young
lady two questions, the foreman said.
The judge consented, and she went on
the stand. ''D-d-did you wear the il

The Biggest Blank Book.

The biggest blank book probably ever
used in the country is the ledger of the
assistant United States treasurer at
New York. It cost $40, and weighs as
much as half dozen babies. It is 19
inches long, Ii inches wide, and con-
tains 1850 pages. It is made of the
best paper, and one is used every year.
There are some big envelopes here, yell
low MANILA fellows, costing $21.20 a
thousand, and being IT. inches long by
148 inches wide.

THE LEANNETTE MARTYRs.

From Iena's waters we bring them back
All hushed, and lay them here;
For. though we held their lives as naught,
we hold their corpses dear.
Yes, bring them back, o men,
All still, and dumb, and know,
If deaths eclipse has hushed their lips,
Your folly willed it SO.
Living, you gave them what7
4 phantom way to find
Through frozen SHOWS, where whose goes
Must leave all hope behind.
Dead, and you give them praise
And pity, and deem them great;
o, had it come in other days,
1t had not come too late.
To die in a needful cause,
Is right; but reckless waste
OF lives like these on fantasies
Is wsnton and misplaced.
Better that nameless seas
Untrayeled should remain,
Than, dead and dumb these forms shouio coIh
AS trophies back again
And better a Iife's devotion
where humdrum duty calls,
Than searching a desert ocean
For good that never befalls.

The Beautiful Gate

I'D like to be Peter!' a little boy said
As he sat one day and his Bible read:
He had just been reading the blessed fate
OF the beggar that lay at the BE autiful Gate.
"If was st. Peter, lame Jack should have legs
Who always must ride when he brings us our
eggs.
And wouldn't give his eyes to blind Tim
Who always is led by his little dog Shin.
"And crooked Dame Crunchard should have
new back;
If was st. Peter, there'd never be lack
Of tongue, or an eye, or Il leg. or thumb.
For the blind or the manned, the deaf or the
dumb
The little child's mother sat listening by.
And smile and a tear might he seen in her
eve,
As she gazed with delight at the beautiful boy,
The pride of her heart-her hope and her joy
She silently sat as she heard him relate
The Apostles great deed at the Beautiful Gate.
But he sighed AS he said, NO such power is
given
TO the men of OH day by our Father in Heaven
The happy, good mother her silence broke
And the boy grew earnest the while she spoke,
And his eve seemed to grow, his brow to expand
When she said. "God has given such power TO
man.
More earnest he grew when he heard her say
That thousands of impotent folks that lay
BY the Beautiful Gate and the highway side
Were now made whole through him who died.
That the blessed words of Christ were true,
Far greater things than these shall ye do
! That whoever from sin should turn his brother
Or kinde the flame Of ,ooe i'll another
Whoever gives sight to the inly blind,
Or in any way lifts his feeble kind,
Would be working a miracle Just as great
As Peter once wrought at the Beautiful Gate.
