Ar Herkimer, Gen. Logan got
the tree of liberty, its bursting fruit
and the American flag all mixed up.
At Chautauqua, we had the misfor-
tune to make the educational insti
tuition a mighty flood, bearing fruits
of influence and knowledge. He
is in the midst of the fruit season.
He hoped that fruity influence
might have the proper effect upon
himself as we'll as others. So say
we all of u.s.. He felt that it was
good for him to be there. A little
schooling would not do the gallant
Senator any harm, but we most
earnestly hope he will continue his
speeches. They are awfully rich.

The following incident occurred during The
early days of the Californian gold fields, and
Is Characteristic Of the state Of things thai
existed among the diggsrs at thai time. A
miner had died in a mountain digging, and,
as he was much respected, his acquaintance
resolved to give him q square funeral, y In.
stead Of putting the body in usual way into
a roughly made hole, and saying, by way OF
funeral service, "Thar goes another bully
boy underl7 They sought the services Of q
miner who bore the reputation Of having, al
one time Of bis career, been "a powerful
preacher In tho states And then, far
western fashion, they all knel down while
the extemporized pastor delivered a prodig-
iously long prayer.
The miners, tired Of this unaccustomed
opiate, to while away the time, began, digger
fashion, lingering the earth that had been
taken from the grave. Gradually looks were
exchanged, Whispering commenced and In
creased, until It became loud enough to at
tract the attention Of their parson. He
opened his eyes and stared at the whispering
miners. What is it, boysin Then, as sud

Ono evening last week l WIS wandering
down Broadway, after dinner, when the
Marquis dc Leuville and Mrs. Leslie came
around the corner from the Hotel Victoria,
and started up town Just as he approached
the corner OF Twenty eighth street, he OK
cused himself 10 his tlances a moment, and
went into n cigar store TO get a light. This
r. me was a bitter disappointment. 1t will
do for a gr~ocery-store young man who is out
for n walk at night with his best girl, for a
husband Of independent attributes who is
returning from the theatre with his wife, or
for a remorseless and case-hardened lover,
but Tor n marquis to adopt such a plebeian
measure for &c tting "A light was d~iSappoint-
ment

fursaken a. when she is standing outside Of
"A cigar-stors waiting for her escort TO get a
light; she usually walks on a few steps and
then encounters the crowd which invariably
hangs about a cigar-store, and directly TO
tmccs her steps. She looks curiously into
tho window, folds and unfolds her bands,
tap~ the sidewalk with her boot, and then
abruptly walks 10 the gutter n attempts,
without success, TO assume the outward re-
semblance Of ono who is waiting for a car.
Every one who passes gazes at her, whether
she he comely or not, and, when the man
cnmas out OF the cigar-store, in nine cases
out OF ten no finds that the temperature has
fallen several meters.
IL Is only fair to say that Mrs. Frank Les
lie displayed none Of those symptoms when
I . marquis deserted her in order to light
his paper cigarette. She placed herself
plump in front Of the little c~igar+tore
door, and TODD there gazing In. The
cheap haclmen ceased prudding their
honsss with the butts OF their whips. and
thus came 10 "A ~standstill, the lounkers gath
erred around the window, and the small boys
elhowed their way around Mrs Leslie and
peeped In at tho door. She stood placidly
and serenely. The marquis delivered a
Bostonian smile 10 the man behind the
counter, rolled his cigarette, took a Light,
bowed, and turned toward the door. The
man had the expression of one who was con-
fronted with an awful problem. His con-
traeted brow had raised, his jaw had
dropped, and no chung to the showcase with
both hands. Had the marquis taken the
mirror under his arm, hlled his pockets with
cigars, and stolen all the matches, he could
have walked out with perfect IMMUNITY. He
had galvanized the man behind the bar.
