foot to commemorate the four hun
dredth anniversary of the landing OF
Columbus on American soil by hold
ing an international exhibition in
the City Of Mexico. The sister re-
public has never made an experiment
in this direction before, and the exhi-
bition would therefore have charms
for many people. BY the year 1892
the railroad system of Mexico may
be sufficiently developed to permit
persons in ordinary circumstances to
make the trip and enjoy the novelties
of a country whose climate, customs
and scenery differ widely from those
of the United States and the greater
part of Europe.
Prince Bismarck has informed the
new German minister that he ''need
not start to Washington until he
feels disposed to do So" OF course,
there is really no need of great
hurry. In the first place. the social
season at the capital doesn't open for
several months yet, and in the next
place this government has no minis
ter at Berlin yet to entertain Bis
marck with dissertations upon the
healthfulDess of American pork.
President Arthur does not seem to
be in any hurry about appointing

main at home for some time without

A FUNNY FELLOW.

Mir. Henry Crondus IS a funny man. For some time he has been board ing with Mrs. McNath, a kind-hearted woman whose indulgence has caused the loss of much money. Crondus was behind, financially, but like the majority of men under obligation, he was disposed to scoff at the source from which he drew his daily sussenance. The trouble with Crondus is tha, he wants to be funny. The other evening, meeting parry of aoquaiDtances in the parlor. he said:
 @Oh, yes, l have been boarding quite awhile in this house. like it, you know for certain reasons. have been suffer- ing with dyspepsia for some time and have found it necessary to diet myself A trial of many boarding houses tailed to afford relief Here need never fear o 1 eating too ma>h.

LITTLE HOO. PEE.
Thought the War Would Close Before
 He Had . Chance.

"One of the btavest regiments that fought in the southern army" said an old soldier, a, pieasan, reunion of the ]" Blue and the Gray" .'~as the F,ssl ArkansAw, commanded by James Pagan. man whom we ali kne~ as the soul of courage and generosity. Al the battle of Shiloh, Fagan's regiment. together with other troops, including Rates regiment, of Tennessee, occupied place oi tanta- lizing reserve. The battle ragged with fury, and every southern officer thought that the var would close ~ith the ,esri.,e light. Sometime dunng the afternoon. Pagan approached Hindman, and with tears streaming from his eyes. ex. claimed
 Yes, the war IS about over and the firss Arkansaw mus, return hone wi,h- out merited distinction. 1, is A shame, sir, 10 b. thus treated
 Hindman tried to console the gallant colonel, but with tears of disapposnsmens streaming from his eyes, he turned and sought his men. During the day federal battery, strongly supported. had made what was known ss the hu.che. pen. Tine and again, vain attempts had been made to capture the battery. A, last an order to charge the engines of destruction was sen, to Colonel Pagan. His face blaxed with the renewal of hope Forming his men, he stood high in his stirrups and said
 "t Gentlemen, and brave soidiers of Arkansaw, at last our glorious oppor- ,uni,y has come. Indeed will Arkansaw this day be proud of her poble sons- We must take that battery
 "A loud cheer arose
 "' Fix bayonets, charge.
 The regiment s~ep, forward, without, a break, like rope tightly drawn. Down into the butoherpen dAshed the brave men, but human flesh and mortal courage could not endure the carnage. Bleeding and torn, leaving many a comrade, the First Arkansaw was repulsed. but the brave boys were soon rallied. Men of Arkansaw.' exclaimed Colonel tagan, again addressing the command, the time has come when we mSsf distinguish ourselves. That battery mus, be taken
 Another cheer, though no, nearly so loud as the first, arose. The men moved forward and again ven, down into the bu,cher-pen. No earthly force could re- sist the terrible fire, and again the brave men were hurled back. Pagan rallied his men, took of his hat. and exclaimed . Men, that battery mus, be taken He waited to hear the cheer IL did no, come. One little wheesy voiced man at the extreme left, threw up his head and shouted
 " Hoo-pee
 That was the neares. approach to a shout. The men wen, dosn into the butcher pen, bu, when they came back, little Hoo-pee xas no, wi,h them"

 The man who spends his time in teach ing dog how to stand on his hind legs, or throw up a chip with his nose and catch it, is of course not amenable to the criminal law, but there should be some means of laying the heavy hand of the statutes on him. There is no greater bore than this man. He will talk to you about his dog until you feel as though ycu would like to strike him on the top of the head with fifteen pound bludgeon, and then he will call up the dog and steer him through an excruciating per formance- He is delighted when he has chance to exhibit his dog in the pres ence of ladies. It is a pity that the law does not seize him by the nape of the neck and shake the life out of him.
