How w. J.. Florence Was
Saved.

Florence says the first practical
joke that was ever played on him was
the mean OF getting him out of q
scrape, and he has felt kindly toward
that form OF wit aver since.
1t was when he was a lad, playing
minor comedy parts in Broadway
theatre at SO a week. He thought
he was madly in love With a young
actress at work for the same stipend.
During the play one night he invited
her to take some oysters alter the
performance. Then he rushed to his
lodgings, changed his clothes, met her
and took her to an oyster house. His
bill there was S1.90, but unfortunate
ly he found he had left all his money
in his other clothes. The waiter and
the proprietor both said his story
was too aiaphanous, and made him
give up his watch and his fathers
ring that he wore. just then q white
haired, benevolent looking old gentle
man came out oil one of the private
dining compartments they used to
have in those days, and Numbered at
the proprietor:
Give that youth back his watch
and chain aud ring. Let me pay his
bill. You ought to be ashamed, sir
Any one can see this is an honest
youth and his companion is a perfect
lady. The lady was in tears / vii
pay the bill and never set foot in YOU
place again."
Out in the street Florence was over,
NJ with gratitude.
Give me your address sir" said h,
60 the kindly old gentleman. al vii

"0h, never mind, said the phIlan
thropist; that was a counterfeit SIC
bill handed to that old fool. IL was
worth nothing, and hecave me S18.1C

Two Stories of Congressman
Pettigrew.

/ heard two good stories to-day OF
Pettigrew, of South Carolina, the
great lawyer and Unionist, which /
had never heard before. He was
practIcing at one time before a judge
who was a Presbyterian OF the
straightest sect and q very hard
working officer. 1t came to be Maun-
day Thursday, and Pettigrew and the
Episcopalians and Roman Catholics
thought they would like an adjourn.
ment OF court over Good Friday.
Pettigrew was selected to make the
motion. "Your honor" he said, 81
desire to move that the court ad-
journ over tomorrow" "Why
should the court adjourn over to-
morrow, when the docket is so crowd
ed?" asked sthe Judge. Because"
said Pettigrew, tomorrow is Good
Friday. and some OF us would like to
90 to church." "No," said the Judge
decidedly, after a moments thought,
"the court will sit tomorrow as
usual" Every WE'LL, your honor"
replied Pettigrew. adding, az heturned
away, 81 know there is a precedent,
for Pontius PLATE held court on the
first Good Friday"
The same judge was a great stickler
for etiquette, and when one hot July
day Pettigrew came into the court
room in a black coat and yellow
nankeen trousers the Judge took HIM
sternly to task. asking him whether
he did not know that the rules OF that
court required it's counselors to APP
pear in ''black coat and trousers
'"Well, your honor" said P%ettigrew,
~innocently," I submit that / am with
in the rule, for ] have on a black coat
and trousers" "But they're not
black trousers" insisted the Judge;
black coat and trousers means that
both shall be black. "Then," said
Pettigrew, II call your honor's
attention to the fact that the
sheriff OF this court is in
contempt of its rules, for they require
him to attend upon it's sessions in a
cooked hat and sword, and while his
hat seems to be cooked his sword GER
tainly is not" The judge said no
more about the trousers.-Philadel-

Damage Done by AvaIanches.

We have to go back for something
like hall a century to find in the his
tory of Switzerland and Piedmont
any record ofcalamity from avalaneh-
es at all equal to that ofthe recent sea-
son. The loss of life seems to have
been greatest on the steepest south
ern side OF the Alps, but the loss OF
cattle and destruction of fields and
houses ON the northern side has been
perhaps greater. Some OF the best
known resorts in the Nalais have thus
suffered. Randa, in the Zermatt, val
ley, has been destroyed, and in the
Saasthal nearly all the principal vii.
lagos have been more OF less ruined.
The damage done is not confined to
the chalets and cattle sheds stI uck by
masses of snow, earth and trees which
the avalanche whir.s along, but the
injury from the avalanche blast
is still more extensive. Thus, in
Sa~asgrund, where only part OF the
village is exposed, the other part be-
ing protected by an immense pine
wood. the unprotected portion, which
includes the village church, was shat
tered by fragments oil the avalanche.
but the doors and windows of every
house in the village, with hardly a
single exception, forced in by mel Q
concussion OF air, and the same thing
happened at the Simplon Hospice.
The spray OF a large avalanche
raises a snow storm of such fury as to
oblige men more then a mile off to
run for shelter. The houses which
suffer in this way yet rapidly filled
with snow, and the cattle, if not got
out quickly, perish. As Switzerland
is so essentially the playground OF
Europe, it is to be hoped hat the
appeal for aid for sufferers made by
the English Alpine club will meet with
a generous response .-London OBJ.

A Persistent saIyauonIst.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Salvation army OF Nashua, N.
H., Captain Maggie Cartwell COM
manding, was in the habit, when out
parading, OF stopping on the streets
and holding meetings in the presence
OF the crowds that collected and OBJ
structed the thoroughfares. The pc.
lice authorities told Captain Maggie
that she must not hold meetings in
the streets. She persisted and was
arrested. The Judge explained the
Law to her, and kindly told her that
If she would %conine her demonstra-
tions on the streets to marching with
flags, singing and beating tam
bourines, the complaint would be
placed on file. She declared that she
would hold the meetings as usual;
%whereupon she was fined $4and costs.
She wouldn't pay the fine, and
wouldn't let her friends pay it, and
she languishes in jail, a victim OF
stubbornness.

A camers Revenge.

An English traveller in the East gives
the camel a very poor character.
According to his account the creature
is from first to last undomesticated
and savage, rendered serviceable not
by tameness but by stupidity.
One passion alone he possesses,
namely revenge, in the carrying out
OF hich he shows an unexpected de-
gree OF far.thoughteG malice, united
with all the cold stupidity OF his usual
character. One instance OF this | we'll
remember.
A lad OF about fourteen had con-
Quoted a large camel, laden with
wood, to another village at about
hall q miles distance. AS the animal
loitered or turned out Of the way, it's
driver struck it repeatedly, and hard
or thar it seems to have thought he
had a right to do. But finding the oc-
casion favorable fortaking immediate
quits, 1t bode its time; nor was that
time long in coming.
A few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, unladen, to
his own village. When they were
about half way on the road, and at
some distance from any habitation,
the camel suddenly stopped, looked
deliberately around in every direction
to assure itself that no one was with
in sight, and finding the road clear of
passengers. made a step forward,
seized the unlucky boys head in its
monstrous mouth, and lifting him in
to the air flung him down again with
the upper part OF his skull completely
torn off.
Having thus satisfied its revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace to-
wards the village. as though nothing
were the matter, till some men who
had observed the whole proceedings.
though unfortunately at too great q
distance to be able to afford timely
help, came up and killed it.

aurials Alive

Burials alive are far more common
in hot countries, where the burial
takes place within t~wenty.four hours

he danced with the uneertaker's

like to be rude and ask him his name,
but by and by all the guests departed
and the strange gentleman was the

had been dancing with a corpse. An
explanation, OF course, followed. The
gentleman, VINO had only been in a

Why They Hate Chinese
Cheap Labor.

From the New FORK Herald.
Australian authorities find the same
difficulty with Chinese immigration
that exists in California. The Chinese
encounter no more trouble in having
everything their W way in the con-
troll of labor IN the English colonies
than they found in American States.
1t is the fulfllment OF the law that
whenever the cheap and thrifty labor
o: the Oriental completes with that OF
the white races it wins and supplants.
In every quality of civilized action.
except the martial spirit, the Oriental
shows a superiority which we accept
by taking refuge in hostile legislation.
In Germany and Russia the Hebrew.
an orientalSrace, is prosecuted, because
the Hebrew by his superior intellect
makes all the money. In the Ameri-
can and Australian countries the
Chinaman is prosecuted because in
the laboring field he will earn all the
wages.

the head portion turned toward the
