A CRUEL JOKE.

On Saturday afternoon, n plain
citizen of Honolulu, accompanied by
an unsophisticated and gullible
friend, entered the office of one of
our large concerns and after having
discussed for some little time the
topics of the day, the representative
of the concern, impelled by SEEM
ingly brotherly regard for the physi-
cal welfare of his visitors, quietly
asked them if they would take some
thing. With aIacrity his invitation
was accepted, the plain citizen 5
eyes sparkling with the anticipation
of a rare treat, whilst over the child
like and bland features of the un-
sophisticated there stole smile 50
sweet and satisfied that was charm
ing to behold, and his hands, which
he held crossed behind his back,
affectionately toyed with each other.
With an air Of secrecy the host in
vited them behind the desk rail, and
after scanning the surroundings to
see that no intruders were near,
deliberately opened drawer, and
drew therefrom and exposed to the
eager gaze of his visitors u bottle of
no, not Of whiskey nor beer-hut
red ink All, "what fall was there
my countrymen !" The cruel, cruel
joke had been played, and the two
visitors, the plain citizen and the
gullible, disappointed to almost
heart breaking, sadly and gently
gathered themselves together and
quit the abode of the tempter,
drier, if not wiser, men.

Congressman A liens Illustration.
From the WASHINGTON Star,

None of the national legislators outshine
Representative John NJ. Allen of Mississippi as
a story teller, and some of his little anecdotes
are as much to the point as those which made
President Lincoln so popular.
Mr.. Allen was chatting with a reporter over
the results of the late election and, on being
asked whether he thought the next House was
going to be republican or democratic, was
rather shy.
Il feel, said he, like converted receiver OF
stolen goods. want to be honest, but don't
want to give up anything I've got"
The conversation continued for some time,
itey what he thought about the matter.
Finally, the reporter asked him, pointedly:
Twill the Fifty-irst congress be republican or
dem0cratic:"
Apparently ignoring the question the Missis-
sippian said: "Down in my town some few
years ago. there lived man who owned a small
two story frame house. In the lower portion of
that humble structure he KEEP store, and in the
upper room he slept. One night the house was
discovered to be on fire, and it was feared for
while that the owner would perish in the flames.
The fears were not realized, however, for the
man awoke to the situation before the flooring
on which he reposed was destroyed. There was
no time for etiquette nor for making any eabo-
rate toilet. He just dropped out of the window.

its breyity than its cleanliness. The devourng

crowd exclaiming in agonizing tones, as he fin

Indiana Bribers Alarmed.

1t is expected that great many men will
be indicted in Indiana by the United States
| grand jury, when it meets in indianapolis
next week, for offenses connected with the
late election. The democrats have collected
| evidence which leaves but little doubt that
the republicans bought that state. 1t is es
| timated that the republicans spent in the
| state altogether between S7O0, 600 and ST.,
100000. it is believed that the greater part
Of this large sum was used in buying votes.
The price paid for votes ranged from S. to
800, and they were bought in every part of
the state
If the reports are correct, the republicans
proceeded with their work of buying votes
in very business-like way. A few days
before the election several hundred thousand
dollars was placed in Indianapolis banks
subject to the order of trusted party
worker. This money was divided among
the republican committees of the different
counties, who undertook to see that it was
placed where it would do the most good.
The floating voters were then hunted up,
and having been divided into groups in
accordance with the Dudley circular. they
were placed in charge of the local bosses.
The money was distributed Immediately
after their ballots had been cast.
Before the republicans received their
large supply of money the democratic lead
ers were sure that the state would give
democratic majority, but when they found
out how abundant that supply was, they be-
gan to lose hope.
There does not seem to have been any
secrecy maintained in buying votes The
matter was talked of openly on election
day, and only since the gossip about indict-
ments has there been any disposition on the
part of the republicans to deny the part
that money played i'll assisting them to
carry the state If what is believed to be
the purpose of the United States grand jury
is carried out, there will be some very inter
esting developments in Indianapolis.
No effort should be spared to punish both
the bride givers and the bride takers.
Unless something is done to check the cor
rupt use of money in elections the time will
soon come when there viii be a refusal to
submit to the result of elections obtained by
bribery.
Indiana was not the only state in which
the republicans spent money in buying
votes. 1t is estimated that they spent
100000 in Connecticut in ono way and
another, and in New York it is charged
that they distributed enormous sums The
republicans succeeded in bringing out a big
vote in the northern states, but the methods
they employed to do so are dangerous to
the republic.

Oysters in Ancient Times.


Raw oysters were eaten at Athens and Rome
preprandal whet, and although we have no
evidence that the English medRvalists followed
so good an example, still there never was a time
when English epicures failed to cultivate, or at
least to punder, oyster beds. To discredit
them as judges of fish, however, and to prove
that the tastes of epcures have changed, if not
improved, it is only necessary to mention that
our ancestors sugared their oysters. This bar
bariSm was due to the infiuen ce of the Romans,
who coated their oysters with honey, and kept
them until they were slightly putrid. The
simple and clumsy methods of Apcius, the third
and celebrated glutton of the name, for preserv-
ing oysters, was to wash them in vinegar, and
pack them in vessels coated with pitch. The
oysters thus repared, and sent from Britain to
the Emperor Trajan, when in Parthia, were
considered fresh, and have been sufficient to
enttle this great mans name to be handed
down through twenty centuries If he is to be
deemed Famous in direct proportion to the
nastiness of his invention, he should be famous
indeed.
Brlai Savarins preprandial whet consisted
of three or four dozen oysters Sieur Laperte.
whom he used to entertain tete-a-tete at dinner,
is said to have complained because he never
could get his fill Of oysters. Savarin deter
mined to give him satisfaction in this respect,
and let him go on to the thirty second dozen,
when Laperte turned his attention to the dinner
with powers unembarrassed by his prelude.

Why Was He Mad?
From the CHICAGO .Matl.


Most Chicagoans will remember Bradley, the
absconding employee of the Union National
Bank of this city; how he fed to Canada, and
how the people who liked him made up his
deficit in the hope that he might come back
home and be a free man. Whether he did or
not do not now remember, and it cuts no
figure in the story following:
The day before Bradley's flight a barber,
whose account was at the Union National went
over to the bank with his deposit, most of
which was in dimes and quarters and halves
He unloaded them at Bradley's window, and
Bradley began counting, handling the lot with
his usual dexterity. He came to a Canadian
quarter and showed it back to the depositor
You don't take that?'' said the barber. Brad
ley shook his head.
We'll, YOU had better; you can use it where
you are going?'
Bradley turned red in the face and talked
back to the barber as if he would eat him if he
could get at him. He said such II remark was
an insult and reflected upon his honesty.
The barber apologized, but the next day Brad
ley was fugitive.
The barber tells the story now as he takes a
customer by the nose and shaves the upper lip,
and says that barber knows some things that
are going on as well as other folks

Where it Will Do the Most Good.

The Jacksonville auxiliary committee is
using great deal of the money contributed
to aid the yellow fever sufferers of that city
to improve the city's sanitary condition. 1t
believes that it is better from every stand
point to use the money in this way than to
save it with the expectation that it may be
needed to assist epidemic sufferers at some
future time. The argument used is that it
is probable that if the city is put in first
class sanitary condition, and kept so, there
will be no more epidemics. 1t is wiser to
use the money, the committee argues, TO
prevent the fever from getting foothold
than it is to save it to aid the fever'S victims
if it should get foothold.
The argument appears to be good one,
and it is one that might have weight with
the Savannah Benevolent Association, if it
were presented in the right way. That
association now has nearly 100000, which
represents the savings from epidemic accu-
mutations and the interest upon them.
Why would it not be advisable to use the
larger part of this money in giving the city
a house drainage systems If, at any time
in the future, the city should suffer from
an epidemic, a sufficient amount, doubtless,
would be forthcoming to meet all the de
mands of relief committees. The better the
sanitary condition of the city is the less
probable it will be that it will be troubled
by an epidemic IN the very near future.
The money which the association has would
go long way toward giving the city
first class drainage system. In fact, it is
not too much TO say that more good can DO
done with it in making the city healthy
than in any other way
