Let Him Come Home.

Mr.. John c. Emo is said to be anx-
ious to return to the scene of his early IL
nancial triumphs.
Let him return by all means. He
will have fair chance of being we'll
received by our self-constituted first
people. He has money, doubtless, and
his long residence under the British
domination has probably anglicized him
sufficiently to make him q welcome ad-
dition to New York society.
He will be indicted, of course, BY the
grand jury, but what of that9 Our
present praisworthy district attorney
will certainly not reach his case until
the twentieth or twentyafr5t century,
and men OF Mr. Eno's habits has a
good chance of dying before that time.
Quebec must be horribly dull to a
man of his tastes, there being no real
society there, merely tinsel imitation
of court at certain seasons of the
year, and not enough money in the
whole province to interest an American
tinancier of his calibre. Why, it is pos
tive cruelty to keep him there!
Certainly he should return. and bring
Marin Mandlebaum with him, and in a
few years. when Fish, and Ward, and
Squire, and Flynn get out of the tolls
there will be good stock upon which to
found an American aristocracy which
shall be based upon the greatness of
past achievements - not upon mere
brains, as our present Braittania-ware
nobility likes to think ITSELF X.

Broadway Fifty Years Ago.

One day, walking with my father on the sun
ny side Of Broadway, we met, just in front Of
the old Brldewell, an old man, to whom my
father, as we approached him, direc ted my al

A Temple or Serpents.

The small town Of Werda, In the kingdom
Of Dahomey, is celebrated for its temble Of
serpent,, a long building in which the priests
keep upward of 1000 serpents Of all sizes,
which they feed with the birds and frogs
brought to them as offerings by the natives.
These serpents many Of them of enormous
size, may be seen hanging from the beams
across the ceiling, with their heads hanging
downward and in all sorts Of strange contor-
tons. The priests make the small serpents
go through various evolutions by lightly
touching them with rod, but they do not
venture: to touch the largest ones, some OF
which are big enough to enfold a bullock in
their coils. It often happens that some of these
serpents make their way out of the temple
into the town, and the priests have the great
est difficulty in coaxing them back. To kill
q serpent Intentionally is a crime punished
with death; and il a European were to kill
one, the authority Of the king himself would
scarcely suffice to save his life. Any one kill
Ing serpent unintentionally must inform the
priest of what has occurred and 20 through

The Negro as a. LahorAr.

There has been much written of late
about the negro as tenant and labor
er, and many positions taken by the
various writers, and as sample Of his
industry and thrift the following speaks
for itself: Within the past week have
seen numbers of them driving into
town in all kinds of vehicles loaded with
fodder. and made it my business to
investigate, when about the following
dialogue ensiied:
"Old man, what are you going to do
with that fodderp"
IT Sc gwine to sell EN-"
"What forp'
81 needs er little meat, and thought
I'd bring this here fodder up and sell
EN-"
III seems to me, old man, that you
would need that fodder next winter and
spring"
II knows dat boss, but yer see ]
must have little meat to work on"
What are you doing on the farm
now?'
"Well, yer see, we's done laid by der
crop and der amt muffin now to do"
"While you are doing nothing at
home. why not work out by the day and
make enough to buy your meat and
other provisionss"
"Well. Is work hard all dis yer and
I wants some rest"
"Then you intend to sit at home idle
all the summer and eat up what you
have made and what you will need SO
much next spring."
II can't work all the time, and !
must have some meat"
This is the way they all do. Before
they will hire out for wages they will
sell the last thing they have around
them; Including chickens, except the
dog, which must be kept in the family
at any cost. When the 1st of January,
1887, comes, these same darkies will
pounce down on the landlord for credit,
and he will have to buy corn and fod-
der for them. They will trade off the
last bushel of corn for tobacco or flimsy
toggery and useless articles.-AuguSta

Louisiana as a Paradise.

In word, this State is a winter
paradise for the true sportsman; and,
il its citizens will see that its present
game laws are rigidly enforced,
in ten years it will be the finest hunting
ground in the United States. There is
no close season for its fishing, and no
end to the sport afforded by its present
fishing grounds. TIE time may come
when Inc varieties of bass will need
protection; but for nearly all other va
rieties 1t has the Gulf of Mexico to

ishlng supply of the very best fish that

Men Will Wear These Next Winter.

The double breasted sack coat will be worn
in the colder weather OF winter. 1t is stylish
in appearance and has always had fair share
of popularity. It closes high on the chest and
has its laps well padded. The pockets are
finished with welts instead of flaps.
Lght-colored goods will be in greatest de-
mand for the makeup Of this garment, and
the edges will be double-stitched; the silk will
show as tar as the end of the collar and the
seams will be turned and stitched one-eight Of
an inch wide, or Tapped and stitched one
quarter of an inch back
The regular double-breasted overcoat viii
also find considerable favor. 1t is to be about
an inch longer than the heavy "Chesterfeld,"
but otherwise 1t will be the same, except in
front. The lapels will be three inches wide
and well peaked and the collar will be
half an inch narrower. The buttons will be
about four and one-half inches from the edges.
Among the various styles Of overcoats that
are designed to be popular the "Chesterield''
will undoubtedly hold first place. 1t ID very
stylish and at the same time comfortable,
virtues to which it owes the hold 1t has on the
public esteem. For fall wear its length will be
about thirty-seven and half inches for man
standing five feet eight inches, and In girth it
will be quite large. 1t will have light lsgeh
and collars, and will be made to roll about five
inches or to turn full from top to bottom.

That reason will find appreciation on

ness has swelled the Canadian census

him?'

81 can't believe 1t, sir. He knew
more about Indian fighting than that. I

an Indian"
'Oh, he didn't creep out to kill In

What was it, thenp"
"Why, when we retreated somebody
dropped bottle of whisky in the bot
tom of the ravine and he went back to
get it before the Indians did,"
"How large was the bottleP"

CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HAY FEVER.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due
10 the presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane OF the nose and custodian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be fact, and the result is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby catarrh,
catarrhal deafness, and hay fever are cured in
from one to three simple applications made
at home. A pamphlet explaining this new
treatment is sent free on receipt Of stamp, by
