sheridan's birthplace.

A Milwaukee special of Feb. Is
says: A shoemaker named McCabe,
who lives at Milwaukee, is a cousin Of
General Phil Sheridan, and ON the oc-
casion OF the latter's visits TO the
Northwest has always been the recip-
lent of a visit from the hero OF Win
chester. lie was seen and asked
what he thought of the General as a
candidate for the Presidency. He re-
piled with knowing grin:
He'd make a mighty good Prisi-
dent, but he cud not be elected"
"What would stand in the way of
his election ?" was asked.
Well, i'hil Sheridan was born in
Ireland" was the blunt reply.
"Oh, that's an old story" said the
reporter. and has been exploded
long ago"
1T may be an old story" said the
Crispin, "but it's thrue. Sure, the
house where he was born wasn't a
stones throw from where i was born
meself. Twas in County Cavan, and
Pills mother is alive this blissed min
ute and can tell you the same thing" "
No amount of argument could shake
McCabe in his assertion that General
Sheridan first saw the light on Irish
soil, and the old fellow wound up by
saying: "Divil the bit worse Prisi-
dent he'd make anyway"

IN MANNERS n, Iso.sou,

The experience TO which ladies' have
been subjected in the horse-cars Of
Boston is one unworthy of commu-
nifty as advanced in civilization as is
our own. Compelled to be crowded
into aisles, with no opportunity to sit,
but packed 80 close as to 5e literally
lanmed between those OF the other
sex, who were strangers; with no re-
source but to ride in this way or not
to ride at all, often preferring the lat
ter, but finding themselves subjected
to this treatment after they had en-
tered a car in which it was presumed
the arrangements were at least de-
cent, and frequently driven out of even
tins receptacle onto a platform, in
which the crowding was conducted
with the mercury below zero. The
whole affair was something that should
have been impossible in Boston, and
that, il We wish to retain reputation
for the observance OF the ordinary
proprleties of life, ought never to be
repeated here boston Herald.

A CRITICAL JEHU,
One or Edward Harrtgan's stock
stories Of California.

Edward Harrigan, the favorite
actor, tells some amusing stories
about his carly experiences in Califor-
MIA. Nearly twenty years ago he was
coming down from a small town to
Sacramento by stage coach. 1t was a
cold, snowy night, and he and his
companions were huddled together
smoking their pipes and longing for
the town lights to appear The stage
driver and friend were holding a
desultory conversation ON the box, to
which Harrigan listened for something
better to do.
Say, Bill, were you at that show
last night in the Eldorado Opera
House ?"
Were /? Well, | should say
We're, and, Jim, il l ever lay hands on
those crows that gave that show, I'll
blow them full Of holes, or my name
amt Bill Simmons. They amt worth
pint o. beans"
Harrigan was slightly amused at
this open-handed criticism, but the
next words OF Jim's made him trihe
uneasy
" Bill, )" said Jim, you don't mean to
say you don't know who them fellers
inside isf"
" No, l DON'T" responded Bill.
" Why, they're the very actors
themselves.
Then Bill shouted Whoa" to his
horses and brought the stage to a
standstill. He descended to the
ground and opened the door Of the
stage.
" Git down" !" is what he said to the
occupants. They did not seem to un-
derstand him. "Git down, | tell
yer" he shouted again, or I'll pull
You out by the heels"
The people within tumbled out with
a great deal OF grumbling and good
many threats. When they were all
arranged about in the snow Bill looked
from one to another and addressed
them them as follows:
haven't got much TO say to you
fellers. But this is the way it is: /
saw you try to give show last night,
and you can't ride on my stage. 1t is
eight miles to to IN and you can tramp
it. You won't suffer half what | did
last night"
The driver then mounted the box
again, whipped up his horses and dis
appeared. Harfigan and his friends
walked into Sacramento, very mad,
but not daring TO give their experience
any publicity.-New York Tribune.

A SALOON PERFUMED.
story OF GoOd wife, n LoahDg
Husband and n skunk.


Woman is not always given credit
for being clever, but nevertheless, if
she makes up her mind to thing,
she will have it her way or make it in
teresting for those who oppose her.
A woman up to st. Helena is the
wife of man who loves to hang around
a certain grog bazaar, and in SO doing
he sorely neglects the helpmeet who
sits patiently at home and mends his
socks. Many a time and oft had she
reasoned with him in her quiet,
motherly way, and tried to point out
to him the disgraceful way in which
he was using her, but all TO no pur-
pose. She even went so far as to re-
quest the teller in the foresaid boose
emporium that he cease selling her
husband liquor. But the poison
mixer bade her go hence and ex-
change New Years calls with her
self, but she turned on her heel and
left his hateful presence.
That evening as she sat alone she
heard racket down in the cellar, and
upon investigation found that a skunk
had got its tail in the rat-trap. Now,
it is a well-known fact that skunk
will hold its peace as long as his
bushy tail is held, whether in the trap
or the hand, and remembering this
she had no fear.
Suddenly bright thought entered
her head. The clock in the house was
striking and she wanted papa to
come home. With quick movement
she threw bag over the animals head,
and after grasping its tail, opened the
trap, and thus armed headed for the
saloon. 1t was only short distance
away, and finding the door partly
open she tossed the skunk into the
midst Of the crowd and swiftly stole
away.
1t had the desired effect and papa
came home.
The saloon-keeper, who never took
vacation before in his life, has gone
into the country TO visit relatives, and
the saloon is closed for repairs.

Iasenuisy Of I.ae,enee.

A Kingston man, who keeps a
horse, takes ride every morning be-
fore he goes to work. The only draw
back is, the horse must be fed and
watered before the ride can be taken.
Heretofore the man has been forced to
get up at an early hour and go to the
barn, some distance away, TO care for
the horse. Lately he has arranged
bin and hopper containing oats over
the fed-box, which can be operated by
the touch of a door knob on the wall
few inches from the head of his
bed. An arrangement is also made
for letting on water in the pail, by
which the horse is watersd. When
the man wakes up in the morning, at
that time when he feels that second
nap would be a great blessing, he
pulls the knob, which turns on the
oats and water, and then quietly lies
back on his pillow and goes TO sleep.
Some would call this man lazy, but
others would say he was an ingenious
individual.-Kingston Freeman.

Tho bar Bill Ouslawed.

Some years ago Thomas NJ. Patter-
son took man to the st. James Ho-
tel and promised to stand good for his
board for a certain length OF time.
When the bill was sent in TO him by
David A. Gage, the proprietor, Mr..
Patterson found that in addition to the
board there was bar bill amounting
to some 500. This he refused TO pay.
The matter was taken into the courts,
where it has been since that time. In
each suit Mr.. Patterson was defeated
until last week, when the Supreme
Court decided that the bar bill was no
part OF the board bill, and as such
could not be collected.-Denyer Re-
pnhlican.

Just word, Miss Debutante, before

The Sensible Swede Treat.

There is an American custom that
the Swedes do not seem to take to
very kindly. This is the custom of
treating" The Swede is too thrifty
to find delight in paying over and over
again for "booze" which some one
else will have the benefit-or curse
of. No." says gentleman who has
lived in section OF Minnesota thickly
populated with Scandinavians, "the
average Swede or Norwegian never
stands treat like an American. rkey
have, however, what We AmseieAas
living among them, used to call .
" Swede treat" that is, every man
pays for his own drink. A dozen of
them will come up to the bar together
and drink in unison, and with the
best of feeling prevailing all around,
but when it comes to settling every
one of them goes to the bottom Of his
pocket for the price OF the liquor he
has personally absorbed. That's a

A weird story comes from Alamo,
Michigan. 1t appears that at a mes
meric seance held there recently q
man named Holmes caused y young
woman to initiate death 80 success
fully that the neighbors, believing her
to be dead, buried her. Some one,
however, told OF the circumstance oi
the mesmeric trance, and the body
was hastily recovered from the grave.
1t is asserted by medical men that the
girl is not really dead, but can be
awakened only by the person who
caused her TO fall into the trance. A
party is now searching for Holmes
who fed for fear Of being arrested fol

A Chinese A iueTican.

The Grass Valley News says that
Tin 10y. leading Chinaman OF
Grass Valley, has l4-year-old daugh-
ter, who is purely American in her
actions. She was born in Grass
Valley and proudly insists that she is
"native American girl. In this
she is sustained by the Supreme
Court of the United States, which de-
clares that all, of every color, born in
the United States, are native-born
citizens. Miss Lily has shown her
Americanism in many ways. She
dresses like American girls, speaks
nothing but English, and goes to the
public school. She is an adept
scholar, reads and writes well, plays
nicely on the piano and paints hand
somely. Recently her father took
her to China and eIdeavored 10 have

The young lady fought against this
barbarity and triumphed. She at
tended the Chinese schools for 4 time
and fairly broke up" the teacher
with her American independence.
Last Sunday Tin 10y insisted that his
daughter should adopt the Chinese
mode OF dress and worship, at least
for their New Year festival. Being
coerced into this barbarity, the young
lady locked herself in her room and
refuses to be seen by anyone. 1t is
said she will remain there until her
father revokes his order. She boldly
denounces the China gods as mere
homemade devils. Tin 10y is very
proud of his girl, and supplies her
with abundance OF pocket money t.
satisfy her American proclivities.

The New York Telegram draws a
pen-picture of Senator Hearst at the
Hoffman House. 1t says there has
been a remarkable change in Senator
Hearst's appearance since the first
time he came to New York after hav-
ing been elected United States Sena-
tor. Then he dressed like a Western
country merchant. Now there are
few Senators who dress in so nobby a
fashion as does the millionaire Sena-
tor. His clothes are of the very finest
material and made in the most artis-
tic manner. lie has discarded his old
black slouch and now wears a shiny
silk hat of the latest pattern. His
long gray beard is tastily trimmed,
and altogether Senator Hearst's APP
pearanee is in keeping with his posi-
ton and wealth.
