Pittsburg ut Night.

A great ycllowish white speck low down
in the distant horizon ahead is the first
SIGHT one secs of Pittsburg. That speck
is flame forty or fifty feet long and half
as wide. 1t sthe advertisement of gen
tlcmons furnishing-goods store on Smith
field street, the Broadway of Pittsburg.
The cntcrprising brothers who keep the
store had figure of Liberty Enlighten-
ing the World" in the corner of their
great new building, and when natural gas
invaded the city, they took the cumber-
some Bartholdian imitation of tircbrand
in her hand, substituted twenty feet OF
gas-pipc for it, tapped the main in the
middle of the street, and now they send
man up ladder every night, and he
lights Il match and raises it to the pipe
and bang section of the city is lighted
rs no electric light ever began to light any
part of outdoors And then over the city
this great baloon-sh0ped blaze sways and
pulsates in the wind all night roaring
like giants furnace. Just so the river
side is Illuminated by two great flames
that iut from ordinary little tubes stick
ing out of Du Quesne Heights. 1t is
wonderful to see the wind catch one of
these masses of flame and wrcstlc with it
and bear it down and roll it over and bite
great yellow and white pieces from it and
fling it away, patches of fire that look as
if they were going to float along and keep
their shape awhile as whiffs of steam do,
but instantly they are gone. This natu-
raj gas carries no odor with it, You
cannot detect its presence even when the
air is laden with it, 1t leaks from the
mains into the Pittsburg streets, and,
finding vein of sand, penctrates to the
cellars of near houses. Several times it
has happened that resident has gone
down in the cellar of his house to look
for something, has lighted match there,
and has seemed to become the centre OF
a convusion of nature which has wrecked
all the windows, cracked the walls, and
blown the doors off their hinges. In
some of tie mills, and in the lot where the
new jail is going up the gas jets burr
forever. There is at least one town ol
city in this region wherein the street
lights are never put out, because it woulc
be II waste of money to hire lanI
lighter after the original lighting.

In a talk with custom house officer
a philadelphia Times reporter elected
the following: "All the sailors smugglc.
They secretc goods all over the ship and
derive profitable trade by bringing in
dutiablc goods without submitting them
to the appraiser. False lockers are made
in the cabins and thousand odd hooks
and corners on Il ship are Utilized to con
ccal smugglcd goods. They do not at
tempt to remove these while the vessel is
dischargng her cargo, because a great
aorty Of the inspectors are vigllant and
honest and the goods would be apt to be
confscated. They wait until the cargo is
discharged, and after the Inspector ha'
zone over the vessel and certified that no
dutiablc goods remain on her they bring
out their hidden treasures and carry them
ashore. All sorts of goods are smugglcd,
and there are lots of common sailors whc
are in league with professional smugglcrs
and bring in contraband goods on every
| trip.n

The term moonshiner appears to have
originated about the year 1870 in the
mountain districts of the southern states.
In the opinion of General Green b.
Raum, formerly collector of internal rev.
enuc it arose Spontaneously from the
fact that the illicit distiller was moon
sinner, and his product moonshinc whis-
key" General Raum mentions also q
curious term used in the south i'll con-
nection with the tax on tobacco. "ThC
dealers in Illicit tobacco, who ilourished
principally in North Carolina, were
called "blockadcrs," and the illicit Cun
taxcD tobacco blockade tobacco. BY
analogy the term blockade whiskcy wa
also used. This evidently had its ori
gin in the long blockade of the southern
ports during the war OSGl-lSG5), whicl
caused the common people to associate
blockade with anything at once illici
or prohibited, us we'll as dangerous. "

why suirrels Cough.

Another illustration In Indian legends
of the magical production of food is the
delightful explanation of the reason why
squirrels cough. Manabozho came one
day to the lodge Of the red-headed
woodpeckcr, and, being invited in, sat
down. Now there was nothing for the
guests to eat, so the bird flew on the
lodge pole, (Which was the pole of a
tamarack trcc), and after few pecks
with his bcak, found crevice, out OF
which he pulled something, and lo it
was fine raccoon. This feat he per
formed half dozen times in succession,
and then the squaws came in and pre-
pared the feast. Next day the red
headed woodpecker returned the visit,
and Manabozho, who was not going to
be beaten by bird, had taken care to
have a new lodge built round tamarack
tree; so, apologizing, Just as the wood
pecker had done, for having nothing in
the larder, he hopped up toward the
pole, and clinging to it, as he had seen
the bird do, began rapping his nose
against the wood. Unable to find any
raccoons, he got 50 angry that he
knocked his head too hard against the
pole and fell down oI the floor stunned.
And the woodpecker went off in huff
A few days later Manabozho was stand.
at his door, wondering how he could get
even with his ncighbor, especially as it
was the depth of winter and there was
nothing but roots to cat, when he saw
two men carrying a bear. lie got into
conversation with them and, speaking OF
his own magical powers, was asked TO
give an exhibition of them. This he did
at once by turning one Of the two men
into stone "And now, turn him back
into man," said the other. oh"
said Manabozho, II cannot do that
only know the first half of the trick. "
So the second hunter, unable to drag the
bear all by himself left it at Manabozho's
door; whcrcupon that rascal at once in
vited all his friends to the great feast,
and was prodigiously important and
fussy at being able to ask them to come
and cat good bears meat at a time when
everyone was living on roots. But alas!
as each one filled his mouth, the bears
meat turned into ashes, and, one after
the other, the guests began coughing as
if they were going to choke. The more
they ate the worse the coughing grew,
and at last the host, in his indignation,
turned them into squirrels, and that is
why squirrels cough so much. -Inq'eside,

The chief cook at the st. James hotel,
New York, tells an experience: 81 like
to try any new edible myself, sometimes.
A little while AGO | had nice young
dog. Some how or other the dog broke
bis leg, and so | killed it. 1t was so nice
and fat thought | would see how ii
tasted cooked, so prepared the dog like
any one would prepare joint of pork,
roast ii it and served it with the same
sort of dressing one would put with pork,
and to stranger the joint had all the
appearance of pork, and it tasted deli
cious. 1t was very sweet and tender"

4 Lending Question.

"And so Mr.. Feathcrly will lead your
daughter to the altar next month, Mrs.

making his weekly call.
"Ah, yes" replied Mrs, Hendricks,
with a sigh; II don't know what l shall

"Will Mr. Feathcrly lead Clara to the

"Thia," said Farmer lIaysced to his
city guest, as he pointed to a large field,
"is where We keep our buII,". "And we
are going in there" asked the guest,
ayes, but you need not be afraid. He i
rs gentle as lamb except when he secs
bright red. If you will take this chall;
and chalk your nose we can pass through
in safety" And the farmer chuckled
softly to himself that night as he heard
his guest packing his grip.-RamblT.

Wishing.
One day lonesome hickory-nut
At the top Of waving tree,
Remarked, I'D like to live in a shell,
Like clam beneath the sea-
And just at that time clam observed,
Way down in the tossing sea,
I'd love to dwell in hickory-nut
At the top Of a lofty tree"
Thus both of them wished, and wished, and
wished,
Till they turned green, yellow, and blue;
And that, in truth, is just about what
Mere withing is likely to do.
