Dickens as q Speaker.

From Edmund Yates Memoirs.
Dickens was by far the best after-dinner
speaker l have ever heard. Mr. Sala, Lord
Rosebery, Sir William Harcourt, Mr.. Parkinson,
Lord Houghton and Mr.. Henry irving are good,
but Dickens was above them all. For years
scarcely missed an opportunity of hearing him
speak in public. The first time I ever heard
him was on Shakespeare birthday at the Gar
rick club, when he was in the chair, and made
an elaborate speech, naming the day as the
birthday Of all the wondrous characters Of
Shakespeare's creation. specially l remember
mentioning Fastaf as the ''hugest, merriest
wittiest creature that never lived" The last
time / heard him was two months before his
DEATH at the dinner for the benefit of the News
vendors fund a favOrite institution of his, when
he again alluded to Falstaf-''tryng," he said,
like Falstafi, but with a modification almost as
large as himself, less to speak himself than to
be the cause of speaking In others"
In connection with this subject am reminded
Of Dickens wonderful readiness. was so much
in tie habit of going with him to public dinners
and the managers Of those entertainments SO
frequently begged me to propose his health as
chairman that it became joke between Us as
to whether | could find anything new to say.
On one occasion-it was at one Of the New
vendors dnners-I said nothing at all! duly
rose but, after few words. my thoughts en-
tirely deserted me, entirely lost the thread of
what had intended saying; felt as though a
black veil were dropped over my head; all 1
could do was to mutter ''health, ""charman, {"
and to sit down. l was tolerably well known
TO the guests at those dinners and they were
evidently much astonished. They cheered the
toast as in duty bound, and Dickens was on his
feet in a moment. Often" he said-"often as
have had the pleasure OF having my health
proposed by my friend who has just sat down, l
have never yet seen him 40 overcome by his
affection and generous emotion as on the pres
ent OCCASION" These wordsturned what would
have been fasco into triumph. II saved
you that time. | think, sir" he said to me as
walked away with him. 'Serves you well right
for being OYer-cOnfdent!"

The Power of Imagination.

from the san franctsco Call
AS Illustrative OF what Imagination will do.
the case az a woman who imagined that a frog
had found lodgment In her stomach NAV be re-
cited. The woman in question Is the wife of an
industrious mechanic living out near the Pre-
sidio, and In some unknown manner conceived
the Idea that the reptile was In her stomach.
Argument by her husband and friends that IT
was an hallucination ayailed not. and matters
grew worse and worse until one day, when the
woman was down town, her imaginary COM
plant was so bad that In desperation she entered
drug store and stating her case askedfor relief
The apothecary happened to be physician
and seeing at once that his customers COM
plant was an imaginary one he resolved to
humor her. Calling his clerk he dispatched him
TO q rotisserie near by TO procure a frog and ad-
ministered an emetic to the woman The frog
was slipped into the pail. and when the victim
OF the halluclnation saw |: she expressed her
thanks and said she felt much relieved. 1t
was only a few days. however, before another
hallucination that there were more frogs Off
spring OF the elected reptile, In her stomach
took possession OF her. She at once repaired to
the apOthecary and told him of her fears. The
druggist scratched his head for a moment and
then remembering that he had chucked the frog
into Jar of alcohol took Il from the shelf, and
after looking at 1t intently for few moments,
returned to the woman with a satisfied smile
on his face and said Madame. you are MIS-
taken: this Is not that kind OF frog" The
woman was cured, and since then has been
troubled with no further haliucination Of this
kind

How the Partisan Cemeteries are Util-
lied by Tradesmen.

From the New York Times
Two meditatve beings strolled thoughttnlly
through the avenues Of Greenwood cemetery as
amicably inclined as Frenchman and American
can be, and apparently determined that differences
OF opinion should never alter friendship. You
have got the reputation said the Gaul
thoughtfully, "of being people keenly alive
TO the value Of advertisement. think you are.
But beg to state that you do not 90 as far as
we Parisians. You stop at the churchyards. In
Paris they are our great field for advertisement"
The American begged that this condition Of
things might be explained. and the Frenchnan
begged that he might explain them at the same
time.
'In Pere la Chaise.' said the Gaul. (which,
as everybody knows, Is the world-renowned
cemetery OF Paris. you may always see a crowd
OF people whose presence there is at first mex
piicable. They wear no hat bands and are con-
sequertly not In mourning. They are not in
tensely Jolly. and cannot, therefore. be mistaken
LOT undertakers. They seem to go nowhere and
to do nothing, but pretty soon their work there
is discovered. In inspecting the principal mon
nments, say these erected to Rossini. Auber.
heloise ct Abelard. Theirs. and kaspai a state
OF things is found which is at once astonishing,
and might even say disgraceful-but won't
because it would not be patriotic. These tomos
are literally covered from top to bottom with
CARDS. At first you are inclined to suppose that
on these cards are scriptural maXms OF
adages appropriate to the mourntul occa-
sion. Not a bit of it. You learn that the
exquisite monuments are simply made into
gigantic posts for advertisements to be
used much in the same manner as dead walls.
On Raspairs tomb you will see Elegant bot
tines can be obtained from M. A.. No. 20 Rue
-; Mr.. B.. wine merchant Nine: c.. mid
Wife, Mile D.. costume maker and so on. In
all cases the addresses are given and the cards
are firmly fixed so that;a hurricane could not
blow them away. Don't imagine that you see
one. two, three. or four cards. The tombs are
positively white with them. and they are con-
sldered SO much of an institution that they are
hardly noticed by well-bred Parsians ! sup
pose the scheme was originally commenced by
the undertakers of the Rue de la RoQuette,
Just outside Pere la Chaise who placed the adj
vertisements relating to their immortee
wreaths and couronnes on the monuments. and
thought there was nothing inappropriate in their
SO doing"
Nothing Inappropriate" queried the Amerl-
can indignantly.

Me and Cleveland.

From the Philadelphia Call.
The long battle was over. st. John had been
plunged ear deep into Salt river. The Widow
Butler, with a black eye. lay stretched upon the
Boston common. The Blaine plume dropped
weepingly on the Tribune tower. The Lock-
wood hustle was silent as q number nine SHOE
There Is the dull light Of reform candle on
the Executives desk A mugwump moon fings
an independent ray on the chieftains brow
But listenl stealthy Indiana step is without.
The door opens and Thomas Angelus Hendricks
smiles ravenously.
"Mr. Clevelandl"
''Mr. Hendricks"
"What of the spells, Mr.. Cleveland"
There viii be no spells, Mr.. Hendricks"
"Ahem'
"Aheml"
A terrible silence ensues. The visitor vanishes
like confederate bond. The reform candle
sputters. The mugwump moon grows brighter,
and the man Of destiny chuckles. 1t Is a weird,
wild chuckle that ends in an Arctic smile.
First come. first served" he mutters with
an m-President-if-you-ple please look, as he snuffs
the candle into brighter fame.

sumed. and then he dropped into gentle dOze
over his toothpick- A waiter observed his Sum-
Der and tapped him on the shoulder.
This amt no bedroom" the waiter SAID.
The gaudr gentleman was so surprised that
he tailed to find his voice for several seconds.
Then he uttered tremendous oath that caused

The gaudy gentleman arose with terrible
glare in his eye, and walked up to the table
where the tinid man sat. He thumped the
table with his fist and said in an aggressive
tone
I'm sleeping lion,''
''Yes, SIR" responded the timid man very
neekly.
The gaudy gentleman walked to another table

He turned to the timid man and said:

Yes. sir, responded the tlnd man. humbly
Then the gaudy gentleman walked up to the
cashiers desk and threw down his 3O-cent check
and silver quarter.
Five cents more," said the little cashier
quietly.
Five cents more, eh?' sneered the gaudy
gentleman. ''Well % cents is all you'll get
Five cents more, repeated the small cashier,
In the same tone.
That's all you'll get said the gaudy gentle
man, pointing to the quarter.
''Are you going to give me that FIVE cents?"
inquired the small cashier. grimly.
How many times dye want me to tell you
that hain't?" responded the gaudy gentleman.

The small cashier bounded over the counter.

Still holding the gaudy gentleman by the throat.
The gaudy gentleman went down into his
vest aud produced nickel. The small cashier
let go OF his throat and returned behind his
counter, while a shout arose from all the
tables:
"Oh, give the lion back his cents,'
The sleeping lion hastily climbed up the stairs
Into the street without looking behind him.

Mexican Senoritas ON Horseback.

City of Mexico Letter In San Francisco Chronicle
Not only do the NAL Mexicans ride, but also
a few Of the native ladies and many Of the
foreign ladies, especially the English and Ameri-
C ns Very few Mexican ladies dare be seen in
public on horseback, as 1t Is here considered
vulgar form Of exercise for women. There is
no accounting for taste, and probably some Of
our American customs appear quite as absurd
10 the Mexlcans as this idea Of theirs concern
Ing horseback exercise seems to us. Ladies
who take horseback exercise here usually adopt
the Mexican costume, as far as the hat is con-
cerned, wearing q broad-brimmed felt hat
(simiiar In shape to the ordinary Mexican 'som-
brero') in either black. light gray or pale ma
room color. In these sombrcros, which are
made OF much lighter weight for ladies than
those worn by men, they lookvery jaunty. The
as that worn by equestriennes In Paris, London
or New York.
