Rare Culohaw.

A young lady from one of the normal
schools in Boston was recently engaged
by resident of this city to teach two lit
tie bright ones their primer lessons. She
wore "beauteous" glasses and looked low
ingly at the little ones.
"Come here, my little darlings. Do you
know / am to impart the necessary infor-
nation to fit you for your mature years?'
"Yeth," lithped the smalleth one, while
the other one stared.
"Well, now, darlings, if you will pro
duce your primer will see to what pro
fciency you have attained. Can you tell
me what that letter is?"
II don't know"
Don't you dear? Well, now, listen to
me, and I will indicate in lucid manner
the formula, by which you will never fail
to recognize it. It is the first letter Of
the alphabet in most of the known Ian
guages. It is naturally the first letter be
cause it represents the first or most infan-
tile of sounds-that uttered by the mere
opening of the mouth without restraint
To fix It thoroughly remember that it is
pyramidal in form, the angle at the top
being more or less acute and a cross-baI
bisecting it in line parallel with the
base"

walk. Exercise is most beneficial.

imprisoned with his companions, and It is re-

inscription made by the Bishop of Ross, who
was an active partisan of Mary Queen OF

celebrated as the one wherein FELTON,, who

Richardson was also imprisoned in the same
room after the Restoration.

American Jpkers In Paris.

a comical, successful and innocent prac-
tical joke was recently played off by two
young American artists upon sundry of
their comrades and countrymen in Paris.
They dressed up Moorish peddler who
was in the habit of frequenting their stu
dios with his wares, and also of occasion
ally acting as their model, to personate an
Eastern Pacha. ALFRED in scarlet robe
superbly embroidered with gold, vast
white turban, rich silk sash sustaining a
silver-hilted knife, in green velvet scab
bard and Mahometan rosary, white
bournous and pair of white slippers, the
Moor looked an Oriental dignity to the
very life. The most absurd part of the
joke was that he took his metamorphosis
quite an serieua, and insisted upon being
treated with all the Difference due to real
Pacha. The young artists then took him
down to the Hotel Chatham, and introduced
him on all sides to the American habitues
of the place as Suleiman Digna Mustapha
Pacha, special envoy from the Sultan, a
general in the Turkish army, ETC., etc.
His Excellency was an immense success,
some OF the party present who had spent
some time in the East declaring that the
evidences of high birth and breeding in
his physique and manners were unmistak-
able. After pleasant evening and much
conversation, carried on through the me
dunn of one of the painters, who had plan
ned the joke, and who spoke Arabic tit
was deemed best to suppress the Moor's
real and extensive knowledge of French
and English,) the Pacha took his leave
inviting his new friends to come to visit
him, and promising to get up lion hunt
in their honor on his vast estates in Africa
The American ertists then took him to a
restaurant and treated him to sumptuous
dinner, after which they drove back to the
studio, and the Moor laid aside his gor.
geous borrowed attire to assume the gart
of an Oriental edlar.-Erchange.

Bssmark's shrewd Policy.

A writer for one of the French papers, from
Germany, has analized the Reichstag and has
obtained some curious results, displaying re-
markable shrewdness of Bismark in playing
off one party against the other to gain his
ends. There is probably no national assembly
in the world with so many parties, and fire.
quently Bismark's hackers fall far below a
majority. At present, for instance, he has
only eighty-one out of 307 members. land these
eighty-one are divided into two factions. The
other 2l6 are divided into Catholics, Liberals,
Poles, Particularists, Danes and Alsace- Lor-
rainers. 1t is Bismark' policy to always keep
the factions at war,and to so manage the quar-
rels that when be wants majority he can get ii
from those favorable or unfavorable to himself,
who want to crush the opposition. AS an illus
tration of his frankness in his methods, 1T is re-
lated that once when four fifths the members
were united against the government measure,

tonsorial establishment on Grand Avenue
early in the week.
"We have one, sir. Take chair"
A reporter watched the strange custom
er as the left-handed knight of the brush
scraped his chin, but could not discover
anything different from the manipulation
of right-handed man, but there was just
the same, and here it is:-
"You see," said the boss barber, "when
a man is shaved all the time by right
handed barber, the beard is pushed over
toward the right, and when it grows out
it looks like lopsided mop. The left
handed barber counteracts this tendency,
and the roots are directed the way they
should go. A left-handed barber is new
wrinkle, but he is a good thing to have in
the house."
