the procession. Previous to this time the
streets in front of the hotel were packed
with a standing and surging mass of
humanity, from which cries of "Blaine,
Blaine and Logan" went up continually.
These two gentlemen, together with Others,
endeavored to address the audience, but it
was too big and enthusiastic, and nothing
could be heard except by those close to the
hotel The procession was two hours passing
the hotel. AS the line passed hats were re-
moved and often swung in the air as men
cheered Justify, and were answered by
waving handkerchiefs from the balcony.
EsWhen the procession had passed Mr.. Blaine
was again called for, and spoke in compli-
mentary terms of the great procession, and
said he could now appropriately bid them
good night and good morning. After he re-
tired to his room the YoAng Mems Blaine
club serenaded him, and he made them a
brief speech from his window. Calls were
made for Gen. Logan. but he had retired.
Mr. A. M. Sullivan and Judge Foraker made
speeches from the reviewing stand after Mr..
Blaine had retired.

CREDIT NO GOOD.

.I suppose" remarked the tramp as he helped himself to pickle at the lunch table, "I suppose if President Arthur came in here and said, Johnny, let's have glass of beer, and hang it on the slate like good fellow you would let him have the stuff, wouldn't you?"
 "Of course I would" replied the bar keeper, with wide smile. "Why wouldn't I?'
 "And yet President Arthur is nearly two thousand million dollars in debt," continued the tramp; "at least the gov ernment is, and you would have to wait until that was paid before you could get your nickel"
 "Is it so?" asked the barkeeper, rather staggered by the figures.
 "You bet! And suppose if Queen Victoria walked in and said, 'Ho, Johnny, let's have glass O 'arf-an-' 'arf, hand Hill tell me Lud O the Buttonbag to settle when e gets the spuds, you'd spunk the wine up with your own fair hand, wouldn't you?"
 "I surely would" returned the bar keeper.
 "And yet Queen Victoria is is debt three hundred million--or her govern ment is, and you wolud get that five cents about the middle of the next cen tury."
 "As much as that?" demanded the barkeeper, in astonishment.
 "Then the Emperor of Germany, if he should alight from his special horse car in front of your door, and say, 'Mein Gott, Chonny, give me schoppen of schnapps, und l will pay for dot when l sold mein dog, you wouldn't hesitate a minute, would you?'
 'I suppose not" said the barkeeper, rather startled by the information con corning the other potentates.
 "And yet the same Emperor is in debt over one hundred and ten mill ions! !" continued the tramp, solemnly.
 "I don't believe it." exclaimed the barkeeper.
 It's fact" persisted the tramp, "and the Czar of Russia, suppose he should come limping in with some friends, and say, Hi, Johnevitch, put the moujik on ice, and let the bill stand over till Chris tovichmas, you wouldn't wait to come around from behind, but would waltz right over the bar, wouldn't you?"
 "I don't know" replied the barkeep- CT cautiously
 "He owes two thousand millions" answered the tramp.
 "Do them people owe it for bar bills? ?" inquired the barkeeper with a shudder.
 "Most of it" responded the tramp. "But l don't owe any man on earth a cent; and yet I don'tsuppose you would trust me for glass of beer to save my life, would you?"
 "No, sir" shouted the barkeeper. '1 wouldn't trust you for another free pickle. We liquor dealers are already out seven thousand millions on the crowned heads, and l ain't going to give five cents more on a man that hasn't got even brim to his hat. Put that pickle back in the bowl, or Pll stop up the rat holes with you?"
 And the tramp went off to work the racket somewhere else, while the bar keeper figured up his share of the losses on the crowned heads, and tackled some- thing to the bills of his known-to- be pay ing debtors.

ARTIFICIAL OYSTERS IN PARIS.

Artificial oysters are now manu- lactured in large quantities by sevral oyster factories recently established in the neighborhood of Bordeaux. The new product, the making of which is kept secret from the the uninitia- ted, initiates the real oyster very per lectly in point of appearance, and the main difficulty of the business, the fix ing of the spiduous product to the oyster shell, upon which it takes the place va canted by it's prototype, is said to have recently been got over with perfect sue cess. It is urged that all who eat real oysters should carry away and de- stroy their shells, thus preventing them from being pressed into service of this new alimentary fraud. To initiate oyster shells would be too costly a process, and if all the shells of the fla vorte bivalve could be kept out of reach of the oyster makers the dishonest trade would receive it's death blow. But as that is an unattainable result, it is to be feared that lovers of oysters have an uncomfortable prospect before them.

HE WAS NO THIEF.

"Gentlemen," said an Arkansaw Col onel, as he stood under the limb of a tree from which depended a rope, "I must protest my innocence, l did not steal the mule. am above petty theft. l know that you all have the interest of the community at heart, and I do not blame you; but there are times when We are all liable to be too rash. If had stolen the mule, my guilt would oppress me until would beg to be put out of the world in the most summary way"
 "The mule was found in your possess sion," said the leader of the mob.
 "Very true, my dear sir"
 "Did he jump into your lot?"
 "No, sir, I conducted him to the con fines of my premises
 ''Did you buy the animal?"
 "No, sir"
 "'Did you trade for him 9"
 .I did not"
 "Then who stole him? Let down the rope, boys"
 "Gentlemen, l hope you will give me a chance to explain. The mule in question was the property of one of our distinguished fellow citizens, Major Ruglesberry. Sometime ago the Major and exchanged few words of an un- complimentary nature. intimated that the Majors blood would be highly sat isfactory to me, and the Major said that my gore would please him nightly. Well, we separated thoroughly agreeing with each other The next day the Major and l met. got what is vul- garly called the drop on him and re- lieved him of the top of his head. He was riding mule at the time, and when he fell off I saw that he had no longer any practical use for the animal, 80 l took charge of him. Now, if I had dismounted in the way he did, should have interposed no objection to the Majors taking my horse"
 "I hope, sir, that you will excuse us," replied the leader of the mob. "We thought that you stole the mule. Your explanation is most satisfactory, and l hope you'll excuse us. Let us take drink. ."-[ From the Arkansaw Traveller.
