Dumas Literally.


The elder Dumas was asked to con-
tribute louis toward the funeral ex-
penses of a poor huisser or bailiff
Here are forty francs" said Dumas,
"bury two" He was, as everybody
knew, most liberal. II have never re-
fused money to anybody except to my
creditors, he would often remark.
One day Houssaye was at breakfast
with him at Monte Cristo, when an
actors wife, poorly attired, but too
timid to ask for assistance. called upon
Dumas. The latter understood the
situation at once. my poor child, "
said he, "the sun is very fierce just
now. How can you walk without a
sunshade?" And he slipped a five
hundred franc note into the young
woman's hand, adding: go and bay
yourself one" As she moved off he
concluded. merrily: IF you will como

An atheist has just been admitted
for the first time to give his testi-
mony in a Chicago court. Few if
any of the witnesses who are requir-
ed 10 take the customary oath I'M
derstand the full import of the "s'elp
you God" with which il is conclud-
ed. There is very little solcmnity or
reverence about it and there is no
very potent reason why the man who
does not believe in a God should not
tell the truth as well as any other
witness who takes an oath that he
regards as mere matter of form
which is often hastily and irreveront
ly mumbled out by a clerk paid tc
perform the duty.

The Columbia Bicycle Calendar
for 1886.

A truly artistic, elegant and con-
venient work in chromolithography
and the letter press is the Columbia
Bicycle Calendar for 1886, just issued
by the Pope Manufacturing Company,
of Boston. Each day of the year APP
pears upon separate slip, with'a
quotation pertaining to cycling from
leading publications and prominent
writers OH both sides of the ocean.
The notable cycling events are men,
toned; and concise opinions Of the
highest medical authorities; words
from practical wheelmen, including
those of clergymen and other profess
sional gentlemen the rights ofcyclers
upon the roads; general wheeling
statistics; the benefits of tricycling
for ladies' extracts from cycling po-
ems; and much other matter inter-
esting to the public in general, and
the cyclcr in particular, appear from
day to day. In fact, into a little
measure is crowded IN a highly at
tractive way the past, present and
future of cycling "a virtual encyclo-
pRdia upon this universally utilized
"steel of STEEL" The calendar proper
is mounted upon a back of heavy
hoard, upon which is exquisitely ex-
ecutcd, in water-color effect, a charm
Ilng combination of cycling scenes by
G. IL. Buck, of New York. A mount
ed bicycler in uniform is sounding
the bugle-call while speeding past al
cchoing lake. In another view q
party of bicyclers are enjoying a spin
by the light of the moon. In another
a sprightly and pretty, and daintily
attired, lady tricycler bears evidence
of the delightfulness of this health
giving exercise. AS work of con
venient art it is worthy of a place in
: office, library or parlor.

ported by the committee. 1t was
placed on the calendar, where, in all
probability, it would remain forever
unless some extraordinary effort was
made to bring 1t before the House.
Mckenzie tried repeatedly TO catch
the Speakers eye, but for some rea-
son Randall chose to ignore him
The end of the session was gradually
drawing near, and Mckenzie began
to grow desperate. One day, while
the regular order of business was I'M
der consideration, Mckenzie startled
the House by rising to his feet and
shouting: "Mr. Speaker l rise to
a question Of the highest privilege"
"The gentleman from Kentucky will
state his question:" answered Ran
dali, turning in McKenzie's direction.
"My question, sir, involves matter
Of the highest privilege-the right Of
a member TO his seat" This rather
sensational announcement drew upon
him the attention of the entire House,
The silence which followed was
broken again by Mckenzie who con-
tinued: II ask unanimous consent
to take from the calendar house bill
No. IA, 796 and pass it under sus-
pension of the rules" The calendar
was hastily consulted, when it was
discovered that house bill No. IA, 1856
provided for the erection of a public
building at Paducah, Ky. Randall
was furious with rage.
"The gentleman from Kentucky
forgets himself" he began, when Mr..
Mckenzie with comical seriousness,
interrupted him: ~ spoke the plain,
unvarnished truth when said the
passage of that hill involved the right
to my scat. If don't succeed In Sc
curing the necessary appropriation |

gress again." At this sally the House
burst into broad roar of laughter,
whereupon Frank Hiscock, over OH
the Republican side, begged that Mr..
McKenzie's request be complied with
and that unanimous consent be given
to pass the bill. There were no OBJ
Ijections, and within sixty seconds
Mckenzie secured what he had wait.

Settled at Last.

Contrary to all expectations, the at
torneys Of Mrs. Lucas announced to
the county court Tuesday morning
that she had no defense to make
against the rule taken against her at
the instance of S. Il. Duncan, and il
was made absolute. Mr.. Duncan
later visited Mrs. Lucas and assured
her that while he was anxious to get
possession of the Jail property as soon
as possible, he would not inconveni-
ence her, and would give her ample
opportunity to find another residence.
She delivered the. keys of the Jail and
the courthouse to him at p. NJ and
by agreement continues to diet the
prisoners until she makes her ar
rangements to move. The jailership
is oue,of the most lucrative offices in
the county. Mrs. Lucas has held it
about seventeen months, since her
husbands death. She has large
family to support and has many SYM
pathizers. Mr.. Duncan, like Others
who became candidates, was gov.

subsequent proceedings has acted

THE KNo-TY EASTERN PROB
LEM.
The Servian Army Without a
Head characterization
the Rule.

LONDON, Dec, 25.-The Post pub
fishes a letter from its Belgrade cor
respondent, revealing a lamentable
state of affairs in the Servian army.
1t seems that there is almost total
absence of Military discipline. 1t is
difficult, the correspondent says, to
say where most of the blame is TO be
laid; whether upon the inefficiency
of the officers, Or upon the natural
characterization and unteachableness
of the men. King Milan's life is be-
ing constantly threatened, and sever
al attempts to assassinate him have
actually been made. The King
bravely disrcgards them, and strug-
gles manfully to bring order out of
chaos, and to get his force into better
shape, in view of the possible reopen
ing of hostilitics after armistice. Ii
is well-known in Belgrade, says the
correspondent, that Milan was de-
ceivcd in regard to the effective
strength of his army in the same way
that Napolean III, was before the
opening of the Franco-P russian war.
A ring of corrupt officers in the capt.
tai arc responsible for the weakness
displayed in the field and for the
humilahng position in which Servia
now finds herself. Under the vigor-
GUS hand OF Gen. Hervatovitch, who
was recalled from a foreign mission
as the one man capable of redeeming
the Kings shattered forces, there has
been a marked improvement in the
condition and management of the
troops, but at best Servia will be
heavily handicapped in any military
movement that may be undertaken
in the near future.
ALEXANDER ENTERS SOFIA.
SOFIA, Dec. 26.-Prince Alexander
entered Sofa to-day at the head
six regiments of infantry, one regi-
ment of cavalry and three batteries
Of artillery. He was received with
great enthusiasm by the Inhabitants.
The city was gayly decked with flags
and tonight is brilliantly illumina-
ted. Many banners bearing patriot
ic Inscriptions were displayed at va
rious points along the line of march.
