The Telephone Girl.

She had half dozen lively young
women connected by phone with half Il
dozen young men the other evening,
when some of the spirit that drove the
swine into the sea long ago, seized
upon her soul, and she resolved upon u
little plan that could put new phase
upon affairs. She called upon sour
voiced old man and told him the situa-
ton, and as he was a little sweet on
her, he was ready for any thing she
might suggest. She told him what to
do and he agreed, and then she set the
plugs in such way that all the lively
young men and women were also
connected with tho old man.
"Sayr' cried the old fellow.
"Hellom said dozen startled voices.
Don't you think it's about time
for you to stop this foolishncss and 90
to bedp"
Silence rcigned on the wires.
Your COMPOUNDED hello counting is
no good. You are set of soft-headed
geese, that's what you are, and if you
don't hang up your receivers and go to
bed, I'll have that telephone taken out
of my house. The idea of you standing
there and kissing back and forth until
after twelve o'clock every other night
in the week, is simply absurd. Now
you quit and 60 to bed, or when meet
that fellow down town in the morning,
I'll kick him so hard he can taste shoe
polish for month. Mind what L tell
you, now, I'll kick him before ten
o'clock tomorrow.
Each of the girls thought her papa
had spoken, and each of the boys
thought SO too, and more amusing
sight than those six young men dodg-
ing out of the way of the six outraged
parents the next morning, was never

The Partisan Waiter.

From the Novel "Trajan,' in Manhattan.l
The waiter in London, Vienna, New
York, or any metropolitan accretion of
human particles, may subdue you by
the austerity of his Office, and bully you
by the innumerable articles of vulgar
menial nature, but the Partisan proto-
type is wiser in his day, and neither
begs, bullies nor berates. The largesse
you leave him is rather the souvenir of
an equal to an equal than the gratuity
carelessly tossed to a menial. The
Paris "man and brother" brings about
his conquest by the negation of all that
you associate in your mind with his kind.
What tactful Difference to the host! What
engaging and generous zeal that you
shall have the best in the patrons"
cellar! How seductively you are made
to feel that the ''patron" himself is a
common enemy to combat; the waiter
an ally whom you have invoked! the
demure, respectful, devoted being
who adjusts with trained hands and
artistic sense the table and its appetiz-
ing viands, who's devotions for the mo-
ment are not alone the honor and re-
pletion of your friends, but solicitude
that your table shall make fine effect,
and that your dinner shall receive not
only the justice of eating but the en-
comiums of those honored by the at
tentions of friend so superior and SO
kind! How insensibly it stimulates a
mans best opinion of himself to have
such potentate in attendance, set out
in the costume prescribed his order, not
as mark of condition, but as regalia
of place, Like the surplice at the alter or
the livery of the state!

Conversation of Men of Genius.

Tasso's conversation was neither gay
nor brilliant. Dante was either taciturn
or satirical. Butler was either sullen or
biting. Gray seldom talked or smiled.
Hogarth and Swift were very absent
minded in company. Milton was very
unsociable, and even irritable, when
pressed into conversation. Kirwan,
though copius and eloquent in public
addresses, was meagre and dull in col
loquial discourses. Virgil was heavy in
conversation. La Fontaine appeared
heavy, coarse. and stupid; he could not
speak and describe what he had Just
seen; but then he was the model of
poetry. Chaucer's silence was more
agreeable than his conversation.
Dryden's conversation was slow and
dull, his humor saturnine and reserved.
Corneille in conversation was so insipid
that he never failed in wearying he did
not even speak correctly that language
of which he was such master. Ben
Jonson used to sit silent in company
and sip his wine. Southey was stiff,
sedate, and wrapped up in asceticism.
Addison was good company with his in
innate friends, but in mixed company
he preserved his dignity by stiff and
reserved silence. Fox in conversation
never tagged, his animation and variety
were lnexhaustible. DIR. Bentley was
loquacious, as was also Grotius. Gold
smith wrote Like an angel, and talked

ing, enthusiastic, and interesting in

OF similar experience. A woman he

at the conclusion of her visit to her
cousin, Mrs. Marlow, Miriam betook
herself to the house of a friend, who ex-
tended many informal invitations to
MIR. Byron as we'll.
One soft, fragrant evening, among
the June roses, Julius Byron told his
love story, and Miriam listened with q
look in her eyes which told her lover
that he spoke not in vain.

Not a Pleasant Funeral.
tErom The New York rimns.l


Private letters just received from
South Africa give striking account of
the strange funeral ceremonies per-
formed in honor of the famous Zulu
king, Cetewayo, who died last autumn.
The Intervention of the British authori-
ties was fortunately sufficient to set
aside one horrible custom which is as
scrupulously maintained in Zululand as
in Dahomey, viz, the burying alive of
the dead kings widows, in the same
gray with himself, in order that their
souls may be ready to attend him in the
next world. But the corpse was kept
above ground for several weeks after
death, being fastened in sitting post
ure to stout post in the center of one
of the huts. with al its ornaments and
weapons around it. In the nut occupied
by this fearful tenant the unhappy
widows were forced to spend many
hours every day for weeks together,
sitting around the corpse, till at length,
as might be expected, they were all but
stifed with heat and with the foul odor
of the dead body.
