STORIES ABOUT MEN.
How Raymond Rescued Coiorcd Boy
from u Watery Grave.

HOW Raymond Rescued Col0rcd Boy
from u Watery Grave.
A good story, illustrative Of tho presence
of mind Of the late John T. Raymond, is told
by an old actor. Raymonds company was
making ono night stop in little Georgia
town. The play was one in which the ocean
played prominent part The only ocean
owned by the managers Of tho theatre was
very old and weak. II had seen much duty
and was in very crippled condition.
To illustrate the rolling of tho waves, a
number of street gamins were hired to 60
underneath a big blue cloth and bob up and
down.
The play was in its most interesting part.
Raymond was getting off some Of his best
gags He was the only actor on the stage,
and the audience was uproarious, when an
accident occurred that came near wrecking
the play.
Among the waves was little negro
The space was very narrow under the ocean,
and the bobbers got quite warm This par.
ticular little negro felt the heat. He removed
one by one his habiliments, until his red
shirt alone covered his nakedness.
In the'midst of one Of Raymond's best gags
the old blue cloth ocean suddenly ripped and
broke, and the aforementioned little negro
was seen gallantly struggling with the waves
"Man overboardl" cried out Raymond
Some of the stage hands, dressed as sailors,
rushed N add threw the little negro rope
The drowning wave" grabbed an end and
the sailors dragged him out When tho ari.
dience saw the little pickaninny in nothing but
his red flannel shirt, they simply roared.
The little negro was the hero of the town
ever afterward. York Evening Sun.

Stonewall ,yackson's Joke.

Few men were ever more profoundly and
invariably serious than Stonewall jackson.
Prior to the war he was professor of natural
and experimental philosophy at the Virginia
Military institute, and while in that position
he made what is believed to have been his
first and last joke.
One morning he called up a member of the
graduating class, and with the utmost
gravity propounded the following scientific
question:
why is it impossible to send telegraphic
dispatch from Lexington to Stauntonf'
The cadet reflected for some moments, and
then replied that the explanation of this phe-
nomenon doubtless lay in the fact that the
amount of iron ore in the mountain drew the
magnetic current from the wires.
A covert smile touched upon Jackson's
features, fled away, and he said: mo, sir;
you can take your seat"
Another was called up but he too failed to
explain the mystery. a third, and then
fourth were equally unsuccessful, jackson
listening to their theories with profound at
tention, but with the same sly smile which
had greeted the first attempt
This smile probably attracted the attention
of the next cadet who was called His coun-
tenance lighted up, his lip broke into smile
in return. and he said:
"Well, Maj. Jackson, reckon it must be
because there is no telegraph between the
two places"
You are right, SIR" replied jackson, who
had suddenly resumed his composed express
sion. You can take your seat"
Then he called the class to order, and
calmly proceeded with the recitation as if
nothing had happened Youths Companion

The Price Of Bread.

The N. o. Times.Democrat says
the rise in the price of bread and 9TH
er staple articles of food has brought
no little Lneasiness among the poor
in New York and the East generally,
and threatens 10 cause some suffering.
There has been general advance in
the price of nearly all necessities,
but it is most marked in the case of
the ''staff of life" and as there has been
no corresponding increase in wages,
the poorer classes will have to draw
their belts tighter and run on shorter
rations.
In many countries dear bread is the
prime causes of revolutions. Shch an
advance as has been chronicled here
lalely might easily have brought forth
a riot in Paris and a demonstration
against the government There has
been some indignation over the adj.
vance, which is due mainly to the
manipulation OF the market; but the
American people do not reason in
this revolutionary way, and do not
make Mr.. Cleveland responsible for
the smaller loaves.
They recognize the tue origin Of
this advance in prices, and if the cos,
ofbread plays any part in the polltica
campaign it will be to the disadvan
tage Of the Republicans, to whom We
owe the trusts, monopolies, corners
and combinations, which have put VI
and down, as best suited them, tn
price of all commodities and article
OF necessity.

Artistic ExaCgcrntiOn.

Col Wade, representative from Missouri
district, has made for himself quite reputa.
ton for artistic exaggeration-and it takes
an artist in this line to attract attention at
the national capital. Col. Wade wears a
military coat buttoned close to his chin, Civ
ing him much the appearance of a preacher.
His delivery is very impressive and, with the
unsuspicious, convincing. The colonel would
not hesitate to claim that in historic game
of draw poker played for coffee beans out at
his farm, he drew three cards to a
pair of queens and filed out royal
sequence, and no one but an expert
would doubt what the colonel said,
and even the expert would not question his
sincerity. Recently Col. Wade took trip
down the river and spent few days in quiet
Maryland. When he returned he found a
constituent from remote part of his district
waiting to see him. The colonel was all affa-
bility. He took the Mssourian to the house
and in the course Of lull in the proceedings
escorted him to the restaurant A member
who sat near Col Wade's table heard him re-
lating the circumstances of his trip. "Out
in Missouri" he was saying, you get no
idea of what the world is You see none Of
the wonders Of nature. The east, sir, is some
thing wonderful. You have heard of the
big trees Of California! They are nothing
nothing at all, sir-to what | saw the day
before yesterday. What would you think
of an oak tree 295 PAGES in diameteri
paced it off myself. would not trust any
one else. And fishing in the bay Why, l
saw one man pull out 5000 fish in day.
Fact, sir They never eat fish there. They
use them for fertilizers" And the open
mouthed Missourian sat with his eyes bulg-
ing from his head, without sign of doubt
or suspicion on his face.-Chicago Herald.

The Ruling Passion.

The comedian Elliston used to tell a story
that humorously illustrates the ruling passion
strong in death.
Macready was at one time alarmingly i'll
so i'll that the most serious consequences
were feared and the most Responding steps
taken, such as the administration of the sacra-
ment, etc. Elliston called to see him and was
admitted to the chamber of the presumably
dying tragedian, who feebly expressed be-
lief in his approaching dissolution. Ellis
ton, deeply moved by his friends prostra-
ton, offered to do any service in his power
strongly enjoined the family to keep the suf
ferer quiet and glided on tiptoe out of the
room. He had not reached the bottom of
the staircase when an audible whisper
reached him: "Mr Ellston, step up for a
moment, Mr.. Macready wishes to speak to
YOU"
He went up softly and approached the bed
OF the dying man, supposing that some post
humous attention was to be required of him
Elliston addressed him with soothing SYM
pathy. Macready gave a slight indication
of temporary relief, and in broken accents
said:
