More OuiHm.

On Wednesday evening special police
officers Good and Hopkins, armed with
a warrant, went in search of man
whom they suspected had opium. They
did not find him, but managed to come
across Thomas Anderson, a ship car
penter, in a room on King street, near
the Lincoln block, who had six tins OF
opium very near his room. He was ar
rested and taken to the Station House
along with the opium. Anderson is an
old offender, having served out a SEN
tence on the reef for the same Otfense
only a short time ago.

"As You Like 1t"

Mr.. Locke Richardson's recital OF
Shakespeare's immortal comedy, "As
You Like 1t" at Mrs. Dickson's resi-
dence, Beretania street, last evening,
was attended by large and apprecia-
tive audience. This superb play, from
its infinite variety of character and stu
alton, was perhaps the severest test that
could be applied to Mr.. Richardson's re-
markable powers of memory and elocu-
ton. and the fact that his audience was
filed with enthusiasm is proof sufficient
that it was well performed. The APP
plause was frequent, discriminating and
spontaneous.

A Public Nuisance Whom an Arkansaw Ed
itOr Thinks Ought to BE Hanged.
[Arkansaw Traveller
AS civilization advances the man who
uses the Quill tooth pick gradually retires.
OF course the statutes do not furnish law
to justify the severe punishment of the man
who picks his teeth with a quill, but this is
the result of oversight rather than leniency
on the part of our legislators; for no man
provided with full complement of nerves
can contemplate the goOse-quiu barbarian
without feeling strong desire to do him
bodily injury. This man, when he has
finished The atrocious work of gouging his
teeth, keeps the quill in his mouth and
talks through it. He also makes some sage
like remark and then sucks the quill as
though be would draw back his words. If
he should be standing, and you should
be occupying similar position, he
will approach, poke h s face under
the brim Of your hat and whistle his words
in your face. Then he will take out the
quill and flip the corn bread off the point,
put it back into his mouth and whistle
remark, shrill and commonplace. Then
he will chew the quill and make it snap
and pop-take it out again, flip off piece
of beef muscle and then-throw it away?
No, sir: he puts it into his mouth and
crunches it. He may be man of high
standing: he may be the monolith of a
church or the solid column of temple of
justice, but with all he is a heather. He
has no respect for human existence. He
has no respect for the human body whose
7very molecule trembles when lie comes
around with his diabolicaI quill. Man of
bestial instincts. let him be hanged.

a Fable from the sanscrit-

poet, a scientist, and an artist all passed
the bazaar of a wretched son of Japhet who
had not cleaned the snow from his sidewalk.
The poet sat down. Then he gracefully
arose and murmured: "Oh, the poetry of
motion, how grand, how touchingl"
Then the scientist sat down He, too,
arose and rapturously exclaimed: "Oh, the
wonders of science? More heavenly bodies
have I seen than e'er astronomer before dis

The philosopher reposed for an instant.
As he gathered up the remnants he placidly
observed: ooh, the incomprehensibility of

Told of Mr.. Lincoln.

Youths Companions: When Presi.
dent Lincoln appointed a rigid disci-
plinarian commander of the Depart
ment of Virginia, be promised that
General that he should be allowed to
shoot deserters. But the Presidents
kindness of heart was more powerful
than his respect for the discipline of
the army, and he did not keep his
promise. One day he received from
the General this telegram: president
Lincoln, I pray you not to interfere
with the court-martial of the army,
You will destroy all discipline amongst
our soldiers.'
The day after the reception of tie
telegram an old man was seen by a
Congressman crying all alone in a cor.
ner Of the White Houses ante-room,
waiting, with a hundred others, to see
the President.
''What's the matter with you, old
man. asked the kind-hearted Repre-
sentative. The old man told him the
story of his son, a soldier in the Army
of the Virginia, and sentenced to be
shot. The Congressman took the old
man into Mr.. Lincoln's room.
well, my old friend, what can l do
for you to-day?' asked the President.
The aged father told his story.
Il Am sorry to say that l can do
nothing for you" answered the Presi'
dent in the most mournfu1 tones.

ceived yesterday from the General

here goes!" and wrote:

why, I thought it was to be a par
don?' cried the old man, as he read
the words. But you say, Not to be
shot until further orders, and you NAV
order him to be shot next week"

coin. smiling at the aged fathers fears,
II see you are not very we'll acquaint-
ed with me. If your son lives until l
order him to be shot he will live long
er than ever Methuselah did"
The old man departed invoking a
blessing upon the head of the good
President.

The Snail

The snail harvest has just begun in
France. The 'poor mans OYSTER is so
appreciated that Paris alone consumes
about forty-nine tons daily, the best
kind coming from Grenoble or Burgun-
dy. The finest specimens are carefully
reared in an escargatoire, or snail park,
such as the poor Capuchin monks
planned in bygone days at Colmar and
Weinbach, when they had no money to
buy food, and so cultivated snails. But
the majority are collected by the vine
dressers in the evening from the stone
heaps where the snails have assembled
to enjoy the dew. The creatures are
then starved in a dark cellar for two
months, and when they have closed up
the aperture of their shell are ready for
cooking. According to the true Bur-
gundy method, they are boiled in five
or six waters, extracted from the shell,
dressed with fresh butter and garlic,
then replaced in the shell, covered with
parsley and bread-crumbs, and finally
simmered in white wine.

BerthA'A birthday Party.

1t was a lovely September day. Very
warm for hat time of year. Susie and
Dot stood on the porch of a pleasant
farmhouse. They were standing close
together whispering. What was all
this about? will tell you. This was
their sister Bortha's birthday. They
wanted to get up something" So their
mamma had told them that they might
invite their little friends, Mary and
Hazel GOodrcal, and 90 down in the
meadow and have a picnic. So this
was what Susie and Dot were talking
about. Susie was nine, Bertha was
just seven and Dot was five. "Wont
it be s~plundid?' Dot exclaimed at
last, land we're going to have a lunch,
too At last 2 o'clock came and the
five little girls started down to the
meadow. The meadow was a pretty
lot, through which ran q stream which
the children called ''Willow Creek
On one side Of the stream it was very
shady. Here the little party stopped.
They put their lunch blskct in a safe
place, and then they commenced to
play with their dolls. They made lit
tie boats out of pieces of bark which
they found scattered on the ground.
Belle, Bcrtha's doll, slipped off her boat
into the water. Then such Il time as
they did have. Mary pretended to be
a doctor, and little Dot was sent in
haste after her. Hazel and Susie said
that they thought catnip tea would be
good for her. 1t took so long to cure
Miss Belle that when at last she was
we'll it was time for supper. They all
helped.
One spreading tho table cloth, and
the rest taking out pies, cakes, and
other good things from the basket.
What a supper that was. II think it
is the incest birthday | ever had said
Bertha when supper was over and they
now said Susie. 1--WE must hurry,
for tho 6 o'clock train. and we want to
cross before that comes | had not
told you that the railroad track ran
through their farm. between the mead
Ow and the barn-yard. SO the children
hurried, but before they reached the
track the big locomotive was already
in sight, although some distance Oft
as yet. 1--WE can get across now if we
hurry said Mary. But alas! just as
little Dot Vas in the middle of the track
she caught her foot and fell. When
she tried to rise she could not. Susie
had not crossed yet. She saw Dot
fall. There was not a minute to lose.
She sprang to her screaming sisters
side, and there was barely time to pull
her foot from her slipper and carry
the child from the track when the
great train whizzed by, crushing the
little shoe entirely. Everybody praised
Susie. Those tive little girls never
cared to have a picnic in the meadow
again. 1t always brought unpleasant
thoughts of that happy day that came
so near having such a sad ending.

Gen. James w. Denver, now run

ruin through the dishonesty Of part

Measuring Time.

The story is that King Alfred had
no better way to tell the time than by
burning twelve candles, each of which
lasted two hours, and when all the
twelve were gone, another day had
passed. Long before the time of AL
fred, and long before the time of
Christ, the shadow of the sun told the
hour Of the day, by means of a sun
dial. The old Chaldeans so placed a
hollow hemisphere, with a bead in the
centre, that the shadow of the bead on
the inner surface told the hour of the
day. Other kinds of dials were after
wards made with a tablet or wood or
straight piece of metal. On the tab
lets were marked the different hours.
When the shadow came to the mark
lN., it vas nine o'clock in the morn
ing. The dial was sometimes placed
neal the ground, or in towers or build
ings.
You see two sun-dials that are on the
Gray and Black Nunnery in Ottawa
the capital of Canada. The old clock
on the eastern end of Faneuil Hall in
Boston was formerly a dial Of this
kind; and some of the old church.
towers in England you may sec them
to-day. Aside from the kinds men,
toned. the dials now in existence are
intended for ornament than for
use. In the ,iays when dials were
used, each one contained n motto of
some kind, like these: cline flies
like the shadow or, Il tell no hours
but those that arc happy"
But the dial codld be used only in the
daytime; and, ever then, it was worth
less when the sun was covered with
clouds. In order to measure the hours
Of night as well as the hours of the
day, the Greeks and the Romans used
the clcpsydra, which means The wa
ter steals away A large jar was
filled with water, and a hole was maue
III the bottom through which the water
could run. The glass in those days
was not transparent. No one could
see from the outside how much water
had escaped. SO there We're made, on
the inside. certain marks that told the
hours as the wafer ran out; or else a
stick with notches in the edge was
dipped in the water. and the depth of
what vas left showed the hour. Some
times the water dropped into another
jar in which a block of wood WI IS float

on. Once il a while, some very rich
man had q clepsydra that sounded a
musical note at every hour.-Freder1c

WAIT FOR THE MORNING.

Wait for the m~orn:ng-it will come, indeed,
AS surely as the night hath given need.
The yearning eyes, at last, will strain their sight,
NO more unanswered by the morning light.
No longer will the y vainly strive through tears
10 pierce the arkness Of thy doubts and fears,
But, bathed in balmy dews and rays of dawn,
viii smile with rapture DER the darkness gone.
Wait for the morning, O., thou smitten child,
scourged, and prosecuted, and revlied,
Athirst and furnishing, none plying thee,
Crowned with the twisted thorns Of agony
No faintest CLEAN Of sunlight through the dense
lnfnity OF gloom to lead thee thence
Wait, thou, for the Moonlight will come, in
deed,
AS surely az the night hath given need.
