When the club arrived at Milford there
was no one to meet them and no base ball
club was found to play with. Mr.. Geo.
Grooms. who acted as Manager of the
Rangers, had no doubt been the victim of
a huge Joke.

There used TO be custom in very
early ages, about which we read in
story, and which was continued in more
modern times, that almost at all times
gave universal satisfaction and pleasure.
We refer 60 serenadiDg parties. Bands,
gIee clubs and love sick-swains used
occasionally to go ont in the evenings to
seranade those whom they honored or
loved. There Is very little of it done
nowadays. Why. we cannot tell. Ger
tainly there is as much love for music as
ever and there is no time when it sounds
SO sweetly as when one is aroused from
slumber to listen TO the strains Of in
strumental or vocal music.

1T has never been generally known
where General George Van Camp re-
ceived his title to snch prominent
office. La the service he was satisfied,
with the thousands of others, to feel
proud when called private. He be-
came laxative few nights ago, when
the reunion of the 10th Regiment was
under discussion, and gave it away. 1t
was during one of those public training
days when the old aud young were as
sembled on the hill for muster, that he
happened to appear on the scene on
the back OF white horse he had Dor ;.
rowed for the occasion. There was
nothing remarkable about this, but he
was encouraged by various sundry
draughts of milk shake that he had
taken before he came on the field, to
take command Of all the forces, notwith-
standing Generals Mathews, Holcombe
and other lesser lights were there. He
rode up and down the line, shouting at
the top OF his voice such orders as he
could think Of to the delight OF the
small boys, and he was there first called
General. He has held the title ever
since.

--One of the improvements or we might
say conveniences, adopted by the P. r. r.
Co., is the practice of brakemen calling
out at each station the next stop and the
destination Of the train. This to many
people would be of little Importance; yet
there are many who get confused and are
only made sure by such an announce
ment. Those who travel evory day, can
hardly understand why person could
get on the wrong train, yet it is the east
est thing in the world for those who only
travel occasionally. We have plain
recollection of lady aud three children
who some time ago wanted to take train
in The direction of Philadelphia and asked
il the train then at the station was the
Philadelphia train. The person addressed
replied it was. She and the children were
soon on board and soon found that they
were on train just from Philadelphia,
bound for New York, aud the first stop
was at New Brunswick. Shout out where
the train is bound for.

Eiae ParsoNss Escape.

One of the smuggsst, most benign, benev- olent and fatherly of the Episcopal clergy men in Washington has no idea of how near he came to death the other day. He is in the habit of making calls on his parishion- CTS and giving them good, strong, old-Iash- toned lectures their religious duties and irreligious backslidings. These lectures rise on occasions to the dignity of good round scoldinge, in which he talks to the sinning member like dutch uncle. His voice rises, and from without very wordy battle seems to be in progress.
 There is one beautiful young lady, red haired and charming, whose very taking sins of omission cut the good pastor so the quick. Calling on her recently, he gave her lecture of unusual strength and vehem- meekness and eontrition. A slight disturb ance at the door leading into the dining room caused her to look up. There. with both eyes fixed on the unconscious lecturer, was Lucy, the new cook. In one hand she carried hatchet; in the other formidable carving knife. Catching the young lady's eye she made frantic motions which seemed to indicate desire for the young lady to run, and most intense hostility and bellig- erent disposition toward the pastor. The good man had finished, however, and took his departure without witnessing the forward manifestation, meeting the young ladys mother on the steps. When the lat ter entered Lucy was in the middle of the psrlor floor brandishing her arsenal and de. claiming:
 "Bress de Lawd, Missus, you came jes' in time I heerd dat ole villin agoin' on and iawin at Miss Bertha clar down in de kitch- in. I knowed hit warn't right, an tuk de kyarvin' nife an de hatchet an slip right up to de parlor do.' What right he got tawk dat-a-way to dat pore chile! None tall.

SIMPLICITY IN STYLE. The Test by Which ContemPory Lftera'

 From Charles Dudley Warner in the Atlantic.l
 We may test contemporary literature by it's conformity to the canon of simplicity; that is, if he has not that, we may conclude that it lacks one essential lasting quality. It may please; it may be ingenious, brilliant, even; it may be the fashion of the day, and a fashion that will hold it's powers of pleas ing for half century, but it will be fashion. Mannerisms, of course, will not deceive us, nor extravagances, eecsntrieities, affeotations, nor the straining after effect by the use of in adjectives. But style. Yes there is such thing, good and bad; and the style should be the writer's own and characteristics of him as his speech is. But the moment I ad- mire style for it's own sake, a style that at- tracks my attention so constantly that say, How good that is! I begin to be suspicious. If it is too good, to pronouncedly good, fear shall not like it so well on 8 second reading. If it comes to stand between me and the thought, or the personality behind the thought, grow more aud more suspic- ious.

But we may be sure that any piece l of literature which attracts only by som' 1 trick of style, however it may blaze up for day and startle the world with flash, lack l the element of endurance.

Ths Worlds Biggest Trees.


 When distinguished naturalist holding an official position in right of his philosphi- cal attainments, says that he has seen tree in the forests of Australia 525 feet high, we waste no thought on the necessity of anthem ticating such statement, but give our minds wholly to the contemplation of one of the greatest wonders of the creators power. A tree % feet higher than the Washington monument, 50 feet higher than the Pyra- mids. 70 feet higher than St. Peter's is 8 marvel that fixes contemplative wonder by the mere announcement of its magnitude. It ranks with the falls of Niagara or Zam- besi, the crater of Mauna Loa, the geysers Of the Yellowstone Park, the huge gash of Yosemite or the Black Canyon. There are red wood trees in California in the famous Calaveraa grove, nearly four hundred feet high, and as large in the trunk probably as the monster growth of the Victoria forests, but none that we have ever heard of at all equal to the latter in height. In Africa the ''baobab" is 8 monster trunk, larger in circumference possibly than the tall trees of either New South Wales or California, but with no height to correspond. They are merely huge stumps, put out limbs at the upper end. But they are nevertheless curi- osities of natures work hardly less amazing than their more famous contemporaries that sprouted together with them away back be- yond history, or at least back at the furthest point of it, when the tower of Babel was hardly begun and the races of the world still held together, when no one lived on the banks of the Nile or the Gsnges or among the hills of Greece, and the division of ton gues was g development of divine wrath still to come. Some naturalists estimate the age of the oldest of the California forest giants at three thousand years or more, coeval with Moses and his mission to the children of Is- rael But such remote periods may just as we'll have extended further and our big trees have been contemporaneous with the tower of Babel 4, 100 years ago.

Modesty of Great Men.
Washington Post.1

During my walk about town the other day, I encountered friend who told me that he had been cogitating with another on the question "whether modesty was the at- tribute of great men-or those to whom we are ia the habit of imputing greatnessa" It was vexed question. Was Gladstone a modest mana The answer was negative. Was Abraham Lincoln modest mani The answer was affirmative, and so interrogating ran on until my friend asked, s'Is Bismarck a modest mani" Luckily I was near the athenseum, so taking my friend up the stairs of our unhappily renovated library, I was able to point out passage in the "Letters from Motley" who, after a prolonged visit to Varzin, relates what the great diplomat said briefly of himself, that Eff he had learned nothing else, he had learned nodes ty." And to this Motley expresses the opin- ion that "a more unaffected mortal never breathed, nor a more genial one." Bismarck had remarked that he used, when younger, to think himself a clever fellow enough but now he was convinced that nobody was really powerful or great, and it made him laugh when he heard himself complimented as wise, foreseeing and exercising influence over the world. 4 man in certain situs- tions, he said, is compelled to act promptly, whilst outsiders were speculating as to the best thing to do. eff he happened to be right all the world said what sagscity- what prophetic powerI If wrong, all the old women would have beaten me with broom sticksin
