Came Within One OF 1t.

Cady Herrick tells good one of a
scamp who was arraigned at the last
term of the Court of Oyer and Termin-
er upon the charge of bigamy. Having
no defense, the fellow pleaded guilty,
and in response TO the query OF the
Court as to what he had to say in .miti-
CATION OF his offense replied:
II want a good, liberal, easy sem
tence. pleaded guilty and saved the
county the expense of a trial, and
ought to be let down easy.
GLOW many wives did you say he
had married?" the Judge inouired,'
turning to Herrick.
-Four replied the gentleman.
Goodness gracious!" exclaimed the
Judge, l should think he had been
punished well enough already"
Eyes, indeed" replied Herrick with
an air of a man who knew whereof lie
spoke, and which carried conviction
with it; s'he has been pretty well
punished.
s'That being the casc,'' responded
the Judge, 1--WE will deal leniently with
him. Prisoner, you are sentenced to
the Penitentiary for the term of one
year"
.'Thanks, your Honor. The sentence
meets with my approval and suits me
to tee, and it ought to-" he remarked
to a bystandcr. II could have got five
years, but got one off for every wife.
Why, if l had married five, I'd been
acquitted; but I'll call the turn next
trip" and he went philosophically to
prison. -.Aibanu Express.

In A Hessian Hayfield.

The scene in Hessian bayfield, is
picturesque enough. The women
gather the hay and throw it up to the
men, who shape the load on the wag-
ons. In one place saw three women
saving wool and one man splitting it.
One generally supposes that the saving
is the harder task. Yet happier work
ers the sun never shone on. There is
little group of women, some in scar
let and some in blue, who toss the hay
tufts high in the air from very strength
and joy. There are some little girls
close by who do the lighter work and
also wear the same picturesque Hessian
costumes. The still lingering costumes
tell the story of distinctions among the
lowly Teutons and the still strong at
tachments of the Hessian to the life of
his forefathers.
Off in that beautiful bayfield,, on this
crisp September morning, the women
wear the same bright colors as when
Tacitus gathered gossip from returned
soldiers of the barbarous tribe who
have long outlived the empire of the
Roman conquerors. The dresses of the
women are short and of the brightest
colors known to the dyer's art. Long
ribbons hang from either side of their
luxuriant hair. The outer garment is
a neat and long blouse of bright blue
linen. There is no country in all Ger
many where there has been less change
than in Hessia. The men are tall, we'll
formed, Scofch-like for all the world.
and SO were their fathers as far tack
as Charlemagne. The women are Anna
zonian, and could fight battle as well
as the men. = Galignani.

A Fit Reply.

George Augustus Sala boasts that he
spoke to Napoleon once meaning of
course Napoleon No. g. That is not q
great matter to brag of. One of our
assistants spoke to him also, when Nap
officiated as master of the lists at the
great tournament at Eglinton Castle,
Scotland, in 1889. Said assistant hap
pened to be billeted in one of the tents
assigned to Napoleon, and as he and
the late Nat p Willis came out of a
deluge and under its cover a party
dressed in underclothing of buff leatli-
er hailed our associate with, Here,
fellow, pull off my bootsr' The reply
came instantly. and with full emphasis,

that was mentioned. "Do you know
who you speak to in that manner"
asked one of Maps fiunkies. THAT,
sir, is Prince Louis Napoleon. Were

Poor Economy.

Whom you make bread pudding of
your stale crusts. my dear young house
wife, you fancy you have done an Geo.
nomical thing, although half the pud-
ding is thrown away, because John"
doesn't like plain buildings. 1t would
be better economy to throw the bread
away instead of wasting your time in
making something no one wishes to
eat. Now, although don't advise
anyone to throw away plateful of
stale bread, it is sometimes the most
economical thing to do with it, espc-
cially in hot weather, when it is very
apt to mould. At other times | should
advise you to cut off any brown crusts,
break in small pieces, and dry, not
toast, it in the oven when the fire is
very low. Then pound or roll it rath-
err fine, and put it in paper bag which
should be hung in cool, dry corner
of your pantry. You will find it
very convenient to use in preparing
scalloped oysters, meat, eggs or to-
matoes, for all of which it is much
nicer than cracker crumbs, for bread
sauce, and many other things. The
bread may be used in various ways. If
the slices are not broken or too thick,
they make delicious Drowned sand
witches, which / make very often.
Spread each slice of bread with chop
ped meat, cover with slice of bread
and press together. Proceed in this
manner till all the meat and bread is
used, and cut each sandwich in halves.
Place them. on plate and pour the
milk and egg over them until it is all
absorbed. Put hcaping teaspoonful
of butter on a large griddlc or frying
pan, and when it begins to brown place
the sandwiches carefully upon it. When
nicely Drowned add little more but
ter and turn them. letting them brown
quickly on the other side. Serve as
soon as possible. This makes deli
cious breakfast dish, and may be used
to advantage to '.help OUT scanty
dinner. We often use the stale slices
of bread without the meat, just soak
ing them in the egg and milk and
browning nicely. 1t is one of the ia
yorite methods Of using stale bread in
our family. Indeed. plate of stale
bread is perfect mine of culinary sur
prises.

The Yukon river in Alaska is so
long, says Lieutenant Schwatka, that if
its source were at Salt Lake its waters
might empty into New York Bay. and
its mouth is so wide that New York
would be on one side and Philadelphia
on the other. AL ska has coast line
greater than that of all the rest of the
United States, adding together the At
lantic, Gulf and Pacific seaboards.
Alaska contains an area of 500,
square miles -one-sixth the size of the
whole of Europe. 1t extends to Beh-
ring Straits, or about thirty-five miles
from Asia. 1t has 500,0 900 square miles
of forest and can supply the world with
lumber for the next ten centuries. Her
seal, salmon and Goldfish crops excel
those of any other portion OF the world.
Il has full supply of gold, copper and
iron mines
The south side of Alaska has Il eli

north side has climate as cold and

Now shine on the head Of another mans wife.
And your folds of satin oh, dainty tie white,
We're woven expressly for my wedding night.
And you, like the others. have been laid aside.

The Way You See IL.

The reader will remember the old
story of the Chinese traveller in Eng
land. In those days, not long since,
when the pleasant shores and banks
of the Thames were lined by water
men. our Chinese traveller was landed
by one of these ancient WORTHLESS who
had wooden leg. 1t was fact, and
1t struck him; the stranger. saw that
the wooden leg was used to stand in
the water, while the other was kept
high and dry The economy of this
fact struck him very much; he saw in
It strong evidences of design. and he
wrote home that lin England one-lec-
ged men were kept for watermen. to
the saving of all injury resulting to
health, shoes or stockings from stand
ing in the water" The fact was cor
rect, the inference or generalization
was ludicronsly wrong.
There is story told by the once very
popular writer, DR. John Moore, of a
French student in London who lodged
in the same house with a poor man i'll
OF fever. and who was continually
leased by his nurse TO drink, although
quite nauseated by the liquids she Of
fered him. At last, when she was
more importunate than usual, he
whispered: ..For heavens sake, bring
me salt herring. and viii drink as
much as you please!" The woman in
dulged his request, the man perspired
profusely and recovered; the French
student inserted in his notebook this
aphorism: "a salt herring cures an
Englishman in his fever On his
return to France he prescribed the
same remedy for the first patient in
fever he was called to attend; the pa
tent died The student inserted in
his notebook: IN. b. Though salt
herring cures an Englishman, it kills
Frenchman." This may be satire
upon that rapidity of generalization
for which our French neighbors are re-
markable. But, true story or joke, it
certainly illustrates the false method
in mind that is called observation. -

Over the Sea.
! am looking back through the days

am looking back through the days and

That lie in the shadowy land of yore,
And a waking spirit stirs and speaks,
The spirit OF dead years gone before.
In voice that carries the sound of tears,
And, lighting the lamp Of its passionate
eyes,
1t opens the shroud of the buried years.
The wind is blowing up from the void.
The stars are shining down on the sea,
But the wind is bleak and the light Is cold,
And lis only OF pain they speak to me-
For the wind once toyed with silken tress,
And the stars once shone on q sanity face,
And how can a faithful love grow less2
Or new love take the old loves place?
The sea is swirling up to my feet.
Singing its monody, soft and low:
But the song of the sea ie deadly sweet,
For mind how 1t slew me years ago
We have been parted, and she,
With many hundred miles between;
And now she was coming across the sea
tOh, the sky was blue and the waves we're

Coming-and yet she never camel

Mr., Kelley.

A dispatch from Richmond last night
says: When asked about the truth of the
report that he has declined the position OF
American Minister to Italy Mr.. Kelley
said there was no truth in it. He has re-
ceived no suggestion to do so. Mr.. Kelley
has disposed of all his household furniture,
and made all preparations to leave here on
April 29ih for Rome. His friends in Rich
mond will give him banquet to. night be
fore his departure for his new mission. His
friends feel confident that no complication
will result from the speech which he made
in 1871, and which has been quoted as a
reason for bis not accepting the mission to
which he has been appointed.
Per contra the Washington Post Of this
morning says distinguished official of the
State Department stated last night "thal
the Italian government has not declined to
receive Mr. Kelley in diplomatic capacity.
The Italian government has never formally
and officially protested against his appoint
ment. If the United States sends him as
Minister to Italy he will undoubtedly be
received there as the accredited representa-
tive of this government. 1t is quite true,
however, that he is not acceptable in that
capacity to Italy. Or this We have had evil
dence which, while not in any official form,
is yet indnbtahie. 1t IS not true, again.

ply signifed his willingness 10 relieve the

sscertsiued that his mission to Italy is dep
recated by that government. I state the
outcome Of it all when say that Mr. Kelley
will not go to Italy"
