A passenger on q small steamer rum
ming along the American shore Of Lake
Huron hunted Out the captain and said:
Captain, the mate il drunk"
AYES, | presume So" was the reply.
That's his greatest fault he will get
drunk"
Pretty soon the passenger returned
with further news. He had found that
the chief engineer had accidentally been
lett behind.
"Oh, WELL" replied the capt lin,
some of the firemen will put her
through all right.
In the course of half an hour the pas
senger discovered that the boat was
overloaded, shOrt-hanGed, and leaking,
and he returned to the captain and re-
ported, and added:
81 expect nothing less than to be
blown up before we reach Lexington"
My friend" said the captain, in a
fatherly way, that's your only chance.
We won't have q storm, the mate Is

Say, Sambo, do you know where
Wards place Is in the South Eud?"
"Golly, massa, bet yer life, Sambo,
know dat"
"All right. Take this horse there, and
here's fifty cents for your trouble;" and
the speaker, suitiug the action to the
word, threw the silver piece to the hap
ny African.
This conversation took place at one OF
the periodical sales Of WORKOUT horses
1T the Metropolitan hor>e.car stables.
The first speaker was South End
grocer by the name of Ward, who had
purchased one of the animals for sale
for The sum of S43, intending to use him
in his store team.
The second last scene in the comedy
occurred at the same place nearly three
hours after. The grocer had gone to his
place of business, but, not finding either
darksy or horse, returned to the stables
IN nigh dudgeon to get track Of his prop
erIy, if possible. The negro approached.

whole matter flashed upon the irate
gIocer's mind, and he new er finished the
sentence. His SIS horse had gone to
Wards bOneysrd instead of to its right
destination, and had been Knocked in
the head a. the first step toward being
converted into various mercantile ar

5. ID. Edwards, Justice OF the Peace
in Oxford, has long claimed the power
of reading any letter which can be put
on his head, not seeing the letter. Mon
day this was put to practical test. g.

Fuller went into separate room. Each
wrote a letter, which they carefully
sealed in envelopes and shook up in a
hat. Then one was put on the top OF
MIR. Edwards head. Mr.. Edwards had
not even seen the envelope, still he
read it quickly and correctly. He was
tested in many ways, but came out sue
