Puhlic Honse and sample Room.

There is great deal more sociability i'll
the English public house than in the Ameri-
can sample room. In the lanes and side
streets of the fashionable part of London may
be found the same character of old-fashioned
public as i'll the city. Every one of these has its
regular customers, and its " snuggery" in the
evening is generally full of its patrons who
are, for the most part, the coachman, grooms
and "gentlemen's gentlemen" otherwise
Wallets of the classes" who reside III the
neighboring Belgravia. Here the JeameSes
canvass the characters of their various lords
and ladies' and more true scandal is talked in
these public house snuggeries than in any of
their ladies boudoirs.
The village public is quite an institution by
itself, and IS rs distinct in character from its
London brother as chalk is from cheese. Here
the landlord still retains some of the qualities
and bearings of "mine host of former days.
The public is the headquarters of the political
lights of the village, and doctor, lawyer and
farmer meet together in the snuggery
to discuss the merits of Il popular
race horse or popular statesman
just as frequently now as they did
in days gone by. The railroad and telegraph
have had wonderfully lite effect in some of
the rural parts of England, and Hodge, in
the village public, is just as densely ignorant
of anything that goes on beyond his own i'm
mediate kin as ever he was. To him "t'sqoirn
and the big house" are the epitoIles of all
that is great and noble, and the opinions of
the lord of the manor give a cOloring to
everything discussed i'll the "snuggery. ~

me Horrors OF N1nrnhine.

"Give me OILY a few drops; for Gods sake,
give me just a little.'
The words came from a shrunken-faced
man who stood in front Of "A drug store on
William street as he raised his hands appeal
ingly.

gist, as he closed the door in the mans face.
The latter began a vigorous pounding on
the door, and presently a policeman ap-
peared.

druggist, land ! can't sell him any"

minutes later he was back again. The po-
man again appeared and dragged the man off
In the direction of the station house.

kind-hearted policeman.
The man promised TO go directly home and
started away. An hour afterward he was
again in front of the drug store beseeching
the proprietor to sell him a small quantity of
morphine.
This time another policeman hove in sight,
and in response to the druggists demands or
dered the morphine "fiend" away. Threats
were useless, and the policeman cuffed the
mans ears. 1t was in vain, he still pleaded
for the drug. Then the policeman showed the
man away. The latter seemed very feeble
and fell headlong to the pavement.
When he got up the blood was flowing from
his mouth, but he refused TO go away, and the
policeman was compelled to take him to the

Departure Of Rev. A. Duncan.

The Rev. A. Duncan, NJ. A, incum-
bent of the Church of the Holy limo
cents, at Lahaina, took his departure for
Australia by the Mariposa. Finding
that the climate seriously affected his
health, he was compelled to reIinquish
his charge, which he otherwise found a
most agreeable one. He arrived in
Honolulu on Saturday, and it was not
until the last moment that he deter
mined on the course he has taken, in
fiuenced by medical advice. The rever-
end gentleman has thus been precluded
from bidding a personal farewell to his
parishioners, which he very much re
grets, and is DESTROYS that they should
be informed that letters will reach him
addressed to the Postoffice at Sydney.

Nine. WILSON'S MARRIAGE.

The prima dOnna's determination to wed
has caused no little surprise, and called forth
endless discussion and criticism. As a rule,
artists that marry at all are quite content
with single experiment of the sort, and,
moreover, Count de Casa Miranda bong
pretty well on in years and the very reverse
of well to do, the why and wherefore Of the
lady's conduct are somewhat difficult of appre
hension. The only good ground that gossips
can see for the match is Nine Missions fond
ness for the marquis daughter, and her de
sire to strengthen the ties that bind her and
her protege to each other. Mile. ROsita de
Casa Miranda IS the young lady that accom-
panied Nine. Nilsson when she last visited
America. The songstress has adopted and
enriched her, and the two are inseparable

Prolific in Peculiar People.

California ears to be prolific in odd and
peculiar people. To speak of any one as a
crank you'd be superfuous, as they appear
to be a nation of cranks. In a word there is
no spot on earth so blessed by nature and
cursed by man as California Speaking of
cursing reminds me that everybody seems to
swear as though it was the fashionable thing
TO do. l had about become convinced that
the country produced an abundance of every
thing for which man had any use till l heard
them swear; then l knew that there must he

so very scarce that out of mere poverty of

be the proper thing to damn somebody either
to air personal grievance or perhaps as a
prevailing Californian mannerism. - San

Mystery About Base Ban Umpires.

The rules governing umpires forbid a
decision to be changed, whether right or
wrong. In some cases umpires are weak
in enforcing their decisions and are dis
posed to change them if there is kick
ing" AS soon as the players and specta-
tors see that an umpire can be made to
weaken as to his decision, he gets himself
into hot water, and he might as well give
up, for every time he makes a decision
there will be a yell for him to
change it. One of the mysteries
about umpires Is that they will
umpire a game one day and give general
satisfaction, and on the next day they
will umpire game between the same
clubs, and before almost the same crowd,
so badly that the crowd viii be ready to
mob them. Lovers of base bail in one
city will go wild over an umpire, and in
the next city he will lie glad to get away

An Entirely Fresh Start.

A SacO man who was addicted to strong
drink had worn his wife's patience entirely
out, and the much abused woman finally de
cided to apply for divorce. Her husband,
who could but acquiesce in the justice of the
decision, and perhaps wishing to begin his
career as a single man with a reputation for
amiability. hired team to carry her to Alfred
and hunted up a friend to give the needed
testimony to his bad character as a husband
The divorce was decreed and with a bill in
her pocket the lady came down the stairs to
meet her ex-husband, who had waited on the
doorstep 50 as to improve the first opportu-
nifty to try to again pop the question. So
much devotion won the ladys heart, and she
at once agreed to the proposal to try it
again. All this happened half dozen years
ago and the pair are yet c0joying the felicity
Of their second honeymoon.-Bidd (AIe.)
