Mummies 20 Order.

A gentleman who has just returned
from an extended foreign tour was asked
yesterday why he had not brought home
from Egypt, among other curios, a
mummy. He said there was a great
deal Of fraud in the mummy business.
Persons purchasing mummies, of course,
like to get them as we'll preserved and
natural looking as possible. and as those
found are generally in a more or less
dilapidated condition, vendors have en-.
gagged in the business OF manufacturing
bogus mummies. They bargain with
tramps, beggars and such people for their
defunct carcasses, paying therefor a sum
sufficient to make their remaining days
short and sweet. These fellows are pre-
served and picked and then smoked till
they are good limitations Of the genuine
mummy. Whole rows Of these articles
can be seen in smokehouses at once.
When sufficiently dry they are wrapped
in mummy cloth and sold, to Americans
chiefly. bringing high price.

An EDITORS Hereafter.

An editor died, and slowly wended
his way down to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said:
"For many years thou hast borne
the blame for the errors that the
printers made in the papers. The
paper has gone alas! for one dollar.
Alas! The one dollar has often failed
to come in. The printers have be-
devilcd thee for wages on Saturday
night, when thou hadst not cent to
thy name. Men have taken the
paper without paying for it, and
cursed thee for not getting up a better
paper. Thou hast been called "A dead
heat and "A fraud by men who were
both. All these things thou hast
borne in silence. Thou canst not
come in here.
And he fired him. As he did so he
murmured to himself; Heaven :
his home, and besides if we had LET
him come in here he would be con-
tinmllv dunning his delinquent sub
scnbers, and create discord in my

Their FIRST Lesson I'm Democracy.

Two bowling dudes were found one
day standing over their traps looking
about in a sneering, eontemptuous
manner at the scenes the new world
presented at the landing OF an ocean
steamship. They were the cream OF
swelldom. When the inspector APP
preached them and asked to have
their trunks unlocked they seemed
beset with astonishment.
Il beg pardon, but what did you
say, sir?" queried one OF them.
Open your trunks, want TO in
spect your baggage"
AT this the spokesman OF the two
threw a bunch of keys upon the wharf
aud said:
Hopen the trunk yourself, fellow" F."
Lift the lids OF those trunks in
half a minute or they will 90 TO the

the inspector.

kind of work. What blawsted Gus

He opened his trunks, however,

This same Goldberg was in the habit
Of furnishing all the faro banks in
town with cards, and upon receiving
orders from them, and having none on
hand except those returned by Smart,
he divided the lot between the differ

every bank in I'll Paso was "busted"
by Smart and few OF his confeder-
ates. The last bank that was broke,
thinking it strange that Smart should
be followed by such luck, examined
their cards and found that every card
had been "pinched. An inyestiga-

"pinched" in the same manner. 1t
was found out next day that Smart
had returned these same cards to
