That SIOp.Barrel.

A Galveston millionaire was asked by
a delegation of his friends if he would
not consent to allow lis name to be used
in connection with the United States
Senatorship. He replied that he never
had meddled in politics before, but just
now he had made up his mind to apply
for a position other than the Senator
ship.
"Ah !! I suppose you want to get on
the Supreme BENCH" said n of the
committee.
The heavy property-owner shook his
head, and toyed with his S., 900 diamond
ring.
"Perhaps Garfield is going to offer
you a place in his Cabinet?
"No. You haven't guessed it yet"
"Foreign mission?"
"Gentlemen, I'll be candid with you.
For years I have been trying to get the
city authorities to have the slop-barrel,
at my back gate, emptied onc a month,
and have failed. I am determined to
have that %slop-barrel emptied, so I have
applied to the City Council for the posi-
ton of driver to a scavenger-cart. y

what sporting Men Rely On.

When Lewis r. Redmond, the South
Carolina moonshiner, cornered after for
eight years eluding the government
officials, was asked to surrender, he ex-
claimed:
"Never. to men who fire at my back!'
Before he was taken, five bullets had
gone clear through him, but strange to
relate, he got well, in the hands OF s.
rude backwoods nurse"
By the way, if Garfield had been in
the hands of a backwoods nurse, he
might have lived. A heap of volunteer
testimony against the infallibility OF the
physicians has been accommodating OF
late, and people are encouraged to do
their own doctoring more and more.
It is cheaper and quite as certain.
Before Detective Curtin, of Buffalo,
caught Tom Ballard he covered him
with his revolver. Tom saw the point
and tumbled!
Joe Goss was covered" a few weeks
ago and he tumbled, and so did Dan
Mace. Death fetched 'em" with that
dreaded weapon-kidney disease. But
they should have been lively and drawn
first. They could easily have disarmed
the monster had they covered him with
that dead shot-Warner's safe cure,
which, drawn promptly, always takes
the prey. 1t is doubtless true that
sporting men dread this enemy more
than any mishap of their profession,
and presumably this explains why they
as a rule are SO partial to that celebrated
'dead shot"
Redmond was right. No man should
surrender when attacked in the back.
He should sdraw' face about and pro-
coed to the defense, for such attacks, so
common among all classes, will fetch a
man every time unless covered by
that wonderfully successful ''dead
shot. N-SpOrtSm0n'S News.

William Pitt.

The brilliant life and sad death OF
William Pitt, England's great Prime
Minister, seem a satire upon personal
ambition and popular gratitude. He
was Chancellor Of the Exchequer when
but % years of age, and for eighteen
years ruled Great Britain. The con-
trast of the brilliant beginning of his
public life WI its somber ending is
painful to read.
Pitt died at his house, Putney Heath,
and in a very neglected state, none of his
family or friends being with him at the
time. One who was sincerely attached
to him, hearing of his illness, rode from
London to see him.
Arriving at his house, he rang the bell
at the entrance-gate, but no n came.
Dismounting, he found his way to the
hall-door, and repeatedly rang the bell,
which no one answered.
He then entered the house, wandered
from room to room, till at last he discov-
cred Pitt on a bed, dead, entirely neg
lected. 1t is supposed that such was his
poverty he had not been able to pay the
wages of his servants, add that they had
absconded, taking with them what they
could.-Once q Week.
