JANUARY IN DISGUISE.
And 10 this May, as they all say?
Now, really, who'd have known 1t?
II were May, and came this way,
surely would not own it.
OF course they say that 1t is May.
But III confess doubt it;
This very day I'll haste away
And ask some one about IL.
The birds will know, the flowers also,
The trees: by raw winds shaken;
To them I'll go-they'll swear, trow.
The almanac's mistaken!

 All the old stories are retold with interest, including that which the old opera-goers of New York, whose musical life is stili bounded by the memory of Grisi and Mario at Cas- lie Garden, will continue to vote the best of all musical repartees: These are your little Grisettes, said the Emperor Nicholas to Mime Grisi, meeting her one day at St. Peters burg with her two little girls, Rita and Clelia. The third daughter, Mrs. Godfrey Pearse, who tells the story, was not yet born. "No, sire, ; answered Mime. Grisi, with an ap- propriateness almost too happy for reality. "they are my little Mario ncttes."

The fire soon became so hot that his nerves could no longer stand the strain upon them, and he sprang to his feet and started for the rear. He soon found himself in level field that was being plowed by the shot and shell, which ricochetted over the rolling ground in front. and saw that he had got out of the frying pan into the fire. "What are you doing there?" cried an officer Well" said the man, Pm looking for the rear of this army, but il don't seem to have any"
 One of Mrs. Googin's neighbors had the misfortune to break his arm, and being a large, fleshy man was for some time in considerable danger.

A few days after, Mrs. Googin met friend of the sick man, who lived some distance away and who inquired if she knew how MT. Jenkins was. "Oh, Yes," re sponded Mrs. Googin, with the aiI of importance which definitely ac quired information always inpart' to the uneultured "Dr. Martin told me himself that he would g. we'll If oleomargarine did not Sc in."

THE WEST VIRGINIA sENAToRsHIP

Windy ought to convene another
special session of the Legislature
and declare Senator Kenna's place
vacant aud elect Lucas to that va
cancy also. Then Lucas would be
two Senators. The Lucas. Wilson
combination is too big a thing for
one little Senatorship. just think
of such statesmen as Lucas, Wilson
and Henry Swalker all in row like
tit, tat, toe, and only one Senator
ship to be divided among them.
There is but one thing to be done
and that ought to be done iustanter.
There is but one Senatorsbip, and
neither Dan, Windy or Swalker can
get that, because the next Senator
will be Republican. And if that
were not the fact, neither of this
distinguished trio could get it, be-
cause the greater majority of their
party is against them. Then the
thing to be done is for Mr., Cleve.
land to give each OF them foreign
appointment, and the foreigner the
better it will suit West Virginia.
Send Dan to the east, Windy to the
west and Henry flying over to the
cuckoo'S Chicago Tribune.

In figuring up their business for
the past year the fire insurance com
panies in New York find very little
to be thankful for. Few of them
have made money, and some of them
are believed to be carrying larger
risks than their capital warrants.
One insurance man remarked that
two or three large fires with losses
of from S250.000 to $4,000 each,
would ruin certain insurance com.
panies that he could name. "Many
of the companies" said this gentle
man, "haye placed themselves in
very dangerous positions by taking
an enormous amount of business at
ruinous rates." The sharp com
petition between the companies and
unusually large losses by fire during
the past year have driven four or
five small companies out of the bust
ness, and there are two others that
may be wonnd up by the stockhold.
ers within the next few months.

GRAPHING FOR BROKEN CABLES.

Graphing for broken cables and
putting them together must be diff
cult work, but expert crews aud
modern inventive appliances are al
most masters of the most difficult
undertaking. The cable companies
have special vessels and well train
ed sailors on both sides of the Allan
ito, to take up broken cables and re.
pair then. The break is located by
electric means, system of measure
ment by electricity that tells with
remarkable correctness the distance
fIom shore to where the electric Cir
cuit is broken. Vessels proceed to
the latitude indicated, and let down
their graphing hooks with an cleo
trio attachment which sounds all
alarm in in the vessel the moment
the cable is touched. Taking up
the ends, cutting them off aud at
taching new pieces is very particu
lar work. In a recent break the
ship Nina was sent out from this
side of the ocean and the following
interesting points are from a re.
port Of its progress
4 curious fact in connection with
the immense amount of graphing
done by this ship and the great
number of samples of the bottom
brought up by the sounding appa
ratus, the only products of human
ingenuity ever raised by either crap
ping iron or sounding apparatus
we're two anchors of modern cou
Structiou, and one sample of ashes
evidently from some steamship. II
is said that enough sailors have been
drowned between New York and
Liverpool to pave the bottom of the
sea from port to port, and thai
enough fishermen have gone down
OH the banks to cover them three
deep: but no human remains have
ever been brought up either by this
ship or by any other dredger
Neither have any remains of the
thousands of ships that have been
wrecked in that region been encouu
tered. What becomes of these
wrecks and the bodies of the lost
sailors is mystery which the officers
of the Minia have not been able t,
solve. Certainly, they say, il
either remained intact on the sur
face of the sand at the bottom Of
the sea, either the graphing iron OF
the sounding apparatus, in pass
ing and repassing thousands oftimes
over a part of the ocean where
the wrecks are most numerous, mus
bring up proof of their presence
there.
