Libals on Western People.

A Western young lady. who has just
returned from "YurrOp," talks know
ingly of 1.-THE statue of Appoller with q
beveled ear. "-Nea0 York advertiser.
He must have been from the west.
He was idling about old Burling Sip,
when he took a stumble and brought up
in the river. A ready hand threw him
a plank to sustain himself, and he was
soon hauled out.
Gentlemen" be said, as he gave
himself shake, whats your time
worth per hour?"
Il M getting twenty-five cents per
hour, replied one.
And you were about nine minutes
Iooling with my case. About nine, but
Well call it ten. Your charge would
be about four cents, but we'll call it
i've L haven't anything smaller than
a dime, but one of you can run across
the way and get it changedr'
''Oh, we don't want pay, remarked
one.
You don't? But you must accept
OF something. Here, boy, run over and
buy me a couple of pearsn'
The fruit was purchased and placed
IN his hands, and as he put one pear in
his pocket and bit into the other one he
remarked:
land if you ever come within fifty
miles of where nv uncle lives, he'll be
glad to have you stop all night with
hlm. He keeps hotel, and his charges
won't be over $2H'-WaU Street feWs.

The Southern Dude.

There is nothing in ''heaven above or
in the earth beneath like the southern
dude, says Washington letler-writer.
He occupies niche IN humanity all by
himself, and he would not deign to look
down upon his Northern brother. The
southern dude is a study. | saw one at
the National hotel the other evening,
and he made me feel very tired He
was tall, dark-complexioned, tender
young thing, on whose cheek probably
twenty summers had had their play.
On his head he wore q low-crowned
straw hat with an immense brim, and
one eye-glass was glued in position
while its owner stood in the front en-
trance of the hotel and gave the girls
a treat" the words in quotation are
his own, and when heard them I felt
like kicking him into the "erstwhile."
He wore black broadcloth suit, and
although the thermometer was up in
the nineties, his hands were covered
with tight-ftting black kid gloves.
His coat was cut in the Prince Albert
style, with the lower button only fasten-
ed, and that left an immense expanse
of shirt front. upon which nestled three
tiny diamonds. ''Mr. DUDE gazed at
these diamonds on an average of four
times a minute for an hour to my GER
tain knowledge. His boots were square
toed, with heels certainly three inches
high. In his hand he carried a small
gold-headed cane, which occasionally
he sucked with listless air. Finally
be lodged into druggists and started
a wild. lurld debauch with a glass of
plain soda.

GraeieY's Farm.

Inc recent sale of Greeley's Chap
lpaqua farm recalls some of its early
associations. Greeley always had q de-
sire To own small piece of land and
would have purchased earlier had there
been any suitable means of transit.
soon after the beginning of his married
lie ne moved up TO a nook on the East
river called Turtles bav. about two
miles from the Tribune office, and this
was then as far as conveyances could
be ha This was really the happiest
part Greeley's life. His home was
graced by lovely little boy named
Arthur, but Familiarity termed pickle, -
and then Margaret Fuller, the cIeVerest
woman OF her day, was n member of
the family. She had got tired of Bos-
ton AID pinned for q wider field. and
hence gladly accepted Greeley's invi-
tation 10 place on the Tribune. The
pay was very small, but such q woman
was above pecuniary considerations.
Greeley gave her home. and if her
earnings averaged So per week add
tlonal 1t supplied her wants.
The changes of life, however. were
soon felt in this little circle. Mrs. Full
Ter went to Italy and witnessed the cap
ture of Rome by the French, while
Greeley family was visited by the
cholera, which carried off that lovely
boy. Greeley thus mentioned this be-
reavement in one of his letters TO his
former contributor: 80 Margaret! the
world is growing dark around us. You
mourn that Rome has fallen; we mourn
that Pickle is dead" Greeley then
turned from this blighted spot, and as
the Harlem road had been sufficiently
extended, in 1858, he bought a building
lot just large enough for house, being
determined TO test the place before en-
Iarglng his purchase. Finding it both
convenient and healthy he gradually
increased his domain until, instead of
the original one-eighth of an acre, it
Included seVenty-eight acres, being
the largest farm ever worked by New
York editor. Most of Greeley's i'm
provements were chimerical. He built
dam, for instance, in order to supply
the house with water After one thous-
and dollars had been thus invested the
dam broke and the scheme was aban-
doned. Sixty thousand dollars were
spent in Improvements, and yet, to-
day, the farm is not worth one-third of
shat sum.

American Heiress,s Caurht.

Foreigners have made an extensive
haul of American heiresses this season.
Sir Charles Wolseley, who has just mar
ried Miss Murphy, of California, receives
with his wife the snug dover of 0,00O,-
OO0 The marriage was celebrated at
the pro-cathedral, Kensinyton, but iudg-
ing from the character of the guests,
there was lack of popularity about
the union. When Lady Clare Fielding
and Mrs. Hicks-Lord represent the high
est social element at the wedding of an
English baronet the chances are that
the wedding is not approved of on DO tn
sides of the house However, Bonanza
Murphy was there, and that makes up
for any deficiency on the part of the
English aristocracv Miss Laura Rhine
lander, of New York, is to marry Mr..
Munro Butler tombstone, member of
parliament for Canterbury. In this
ease, however, the Englishman has
money as well rs position. Mr. John
stone, besides being 4 member of par
Lament, Is also an art critic and 4 thor
oughly good fellow. His fortune is
quite rs large as that of his bride. At
ter the announcement of Miss Rhine
lander's approaching marriage comes
the engagement of Miss Emily Fairchild,
of Virginia, to japanese nobleman.
Then Lord Beaumont is reported as en-
gagged to Miss Jennie Flood, and the
nephew of the earl of Eversham, Mr..
Ernest Reckett Denison, has won Miss
Louise Lee. Miss Lee is one of the
most beautiful and wealthy girls of the
south. Thus are five American fortune
hunters defrauded of their national
rights.

You should learn some trade, my

young hopeful. ''BrickIayers are get
ting $3.50 q day, while lawyers can

The Oolored Pencil COlor9d Man Bought.

The colored messenger who waits on
the treasurer of the United States is a
character-a very good character. Last
spring he was very anxious to have
freedom on Emancipation day in order
that he might join in The procession that
gives glory to that great festival of the
Africans every year. He spoke to the
treasurer about leave of absence for
that day the week before. The treas
urer gave HIM a somewhat evasive re-
ply. He would see about it Nothing
more was SAID. Emancipation day came.
The treasurer me to his flee, so did
the messenger. By and by he limited
to the treasurer that this was Emancipa-
ton day, and that it would hardly be
complete if he was not in the process
sion. Yes" said the treasurer. who
had forgotten all about it; well. go
down to the stationery division and get
me colored lead pencil SO that can
mark these papers, and then l guess
YOU can 60" The messenger fairly
flew through the corridors. why"
said the treasurer, when the messenger
handed him the pencil, ''that leads

pencil must be colored pencil" He

Eight Clerks to Make the Freight Receip

hlSub OlSIhS 10 Mdh5 Iu5 IIdIS uG heCS1pti
A correspondent of the Indian Rail
aOGy Service Gazette says:
Il had occasion the other day to book
goods from the goods shed at Madras.
And had to go to eight clerks before
finished with my work. Surely this, |
should think, was quite unnecessary
and useless, rs all this work could have
been done by two men instead of eight.
Each of these eight men had only to
write 4 few words, and some a few
figures, and the eighth or last man had
merely to sign his name to the receipt,
which took seven men to make out.
All these clerks, presume, are in re-
ceipt of monthly salaries for doing but
very little, according to what l have
seen done on that day with my goods.
Is this one of the many reasons why
the Madras railway does not pay? |
am certain that it does not take eight
clerks to book box or bundle of goods
on any other line in India save the Ma
dras railway"

fashily dressed woman of storekeeper.

woman, guess you don't know your

Jerry and Joe.

The death of the late Judge j. S.
Black has brought up an incident that
occurred in New York in 1857. The
writer was little call-boy at the Aston
House at the time, and Judge j. S.
Black, the new Attorney General of the
United States had arrived, His rooms
were thronged with the great and dis
tinguished politicians. The next day
there arrived small gray-haired old
gentleman from the West. He register
ed as Judge j. Williams, Iowa. For
few minutes he looked over the register
and the little boy who was waiting for
an order noticed that all at once he
gave start and asked for card. This
card read as follows: THE Supreme
Judge of Iowa presents his compIi-
ments to the Attorney General of the
United States" and taking up half
sheet of paper, Judge Williams wrote
the following:
Oh. Jerry, dear Jerry, I've found you at last,
And memory, burdened with scenes of the
past,
Returns TO old SOmerSet'S mountains of snow,
When you was but Jerry and Twas but Joe.
In less than three minutes the great.
dignified Judge Black was coming down
the stairs two steps ut Z time, and the
little bell-boy in close pursuit. The
scene in the office of the Astor
House will always be remembered by
those who were so fortunate as to be
witnesses. Two old school mates and
law students were together after sep
aration of some thirty years. Two old
men embraced each other and neither
able to utter q word. Both have pass
ed away, and no better representatives
of the American bar, that have sprung
up from humble origin, can be found
in American history.

A Willimantic factory girl wrote her
name and address and desire to be
married in a nice little note, which she
placed inside of the band of the hat she
had just finished. Her father bought
the hat. On his way home that evening
he paused at house which they were
plastering and obtained a slender and
supple lath. The girl will hereafter
make hats plain.
