Paid in His Own Coin.

One of the parish priests Of this
city is noted for his punctiliousness.
A couple were to be married, and an
hour was set for their appearance at
the church. Some mishap to gown
or wedding fnery delayed the arrival
for few minutes. The priest was
irate, and refused to perform the
ceremony, and advised the bridegroom
to ''try it over sgain" the next day,
and TO be on time. He did so, and
met the engagement and the priest
promptly at the altar. The envelope
contsining the fee was handed to the
gocd father and the couple went down
the aisle and out of the church. They
had scarcely stepped upon the ground
before the priest came after them, ex-
claiming:
Here, sir, there were only IS in
the envelope"
Il knew it, your reverence"
But the fee should be 80"
"Ah, but, your reverence, 1 spent
the other IS for hack fare yesterday
afternoon"

The waste of food in hotels and res
taurants, says the Chicago Times, is
something enormous. In London
this waste is partially utilized by the
Sisters of Mercy, who keep so ne one
constantly in the kitchen to save all
the scraps as we'll as the articles that
are returned from the dining rooms.
These are carefully serted and put in
covered baskets. The soups, chow.
ders and GRAVES are placed in cars or
buckets. At night covered wagon
comes and takes them away. Some
of the articles are taken to hospitals
and asylums, the others are distribut-
ed among those Of the sick and poor
who are deserving.

Some Peculiar People.
Chicago News.

Young Mr.. La Grange, poor fellow,
cannot quit. He can take hold with
confidence enough, but it is the let
ting go that bothers him. He can
enter parlor without hesitation or
confusion, but 1t costs him the effort
of his life to leave it. When it is
time to go he looks at his watch and
does aot see what time it is. How
ever, he says he must be going, and
then proceeds not to go. He looks at
his watch again and says: my, it is
very late. and then every body thinks
he is going now surely, but he isn't.
He wants to, but he can't. He would
give something handsome to be out
on the street, but he doesn't know
how to get there. There is the door.
all unbolted, and nothing to hinder
him, but still he stays, and stamners.
and fumbles his hat and looks at his
watch again and again. Finally he
concocts some falsehood about an
urgent engagement, makes a blind
and reckless dash for the door, and
there he is oat on the street, safe
and sound, but very sure that he left
bad impression. As he quits S room
so he closes letter. Having written
sill he has to say, he doesn't know
how to bring it to an end He chews
his pen and racks his brain, and I'm
ally shuts his mind aud writes in a
scrawling hand: Must close to catch
next mail"
Miss La Grange. She can quit, but
won't. When she has prolonged
call to the proper limit she rises and
adjusts her closk. Must You 60 so
soon, Miss LaGrange9" Yes, she
must, but she doess't She walks to-
ward the door and comes back to tell
story. Again she reaches the door
and stops to ask il it is really true
that So-and-So is going to be married.
This starts the conversation afresh
and she stays the rest of the after
noon. Ga, no, no, no, she can't pos
slbly stay to supper. But she can
stand on the porch and chatter till the
supper is cold on the table, and
every body has caught rheumatism
from the draught Like her brother,
she closes letter just as she leaves q
room. She signs her name and then
adds q postscript. After this she
writes across one corner: Love to
ALL" On the folded letter she writes
something more, and finally pens
some forgotten nothing across the face
of the sealed envelope. Oh, how she
hangs on! She can quit but she
won't

A Yer! Heavy Child.
Buffalo Express

John Hout, who resides near Eli.
cottville, has probably the greatest
prodigy in the shape of child ever
seen anywhere in this section. The
child in question is boy. whose third
birthday occurred Wednesday, al
which time he weighed les pounds in
his shirt sleeves and stockings. He
is only four feet tall. HIS limbs and
feet resemble those of an elephant in
shape and size more than those of 8
human being. and his entire body is
correspondingly large. He is healthy
and robust, never having been sick s
day in his life, and there seems to be
no disease to account for his prodis
ious size. Both of his parents are OF
small stature, neither of them weigh.

81 challenge any living person to
name single instance where be has
done so. You may take the rankest
partisan of Gen. Bragg in the state,
and if he is reputable and competent
and the people of the locality want
him, guarantee you Col. Villas will
appoint him. And right here let me
say that it is a great shame for the
people of locality to divide up and
fight for different candidates for post
master, and let the settlement of it go
to Washington. How can they expect
it to be settled to their satisfaction
there. where they know nothing about
the personnel or circumstances, if
they cannot settle it at home, where
they know all about the persons
and conditions2 l have seen only
one community that has shown pride
and proper sentiment in this regard.
That was Baraboo. They had a pub
lie meeting, agreed to be governed by
the mai ority, settled on the man
they wanted for postmaster and got
him. ALI communities should do
this, and everyone would get the man
decided upon. repeat that it is too
bad to place this responsibility upon
Col. Villas. He don't care who has
the office. He is no scheming politi
clan to attempt to fill them for his
personal ends. We here in Wiscon
sin know that he never intimated a
desire for an Office OF any kind in his
life And ne has not changed par
ticle.
Il know that Col. Villas has never
been a candidate, is not now candi-
date and will not be a candidate.
during the continuance of this admin
istration, for United States senator.
l called his attention to this report
last summer when he was at home,
and asked him directly if it was SO.
He told me explicitly and emphatical-
ly that he was not, and that he did
not want to be misunderstood by his
friends about it. No, sirl You may
state upon authority that he is not a
candidate. He does not want the
office any way, and if he did, he
would not be a candidate be-
cause as 1 have already told
you he considers that he
has enlisted with President Cleve-
land for four years, and he can not
honorably withdraw before that time
And do not believe Gen. Bragg
talks, as he is reported to, about this
matter. If he does, he is simply pur-
suing vision of his own brain, and
in that event his anxieties upon the
subject cap have no other foundation
than mere suspicion. But think l
could tell Gen. Bragg who is candi-
date, and from whom he has more to
fear disappointment in his sena-
torial aspiration than from Col.
Villas. / know that be is work
ing diligently for the office, and he
is most expert politician. would
sincerely advise Gen. Bragg to be
tying grasses across the path of this
gentleman. And farther, Col. Villas
will help Gen. Bragg to disappoint
this formidable aspirant, if Gen.
Bragg will ask him to, and if he does
not ask him, l don't think he will OPP
pose Gen. Bragg, but if the latter con-
,inues to talk as he is reported TO,
