He Had Lost His Grip,
Detroit Free Pres.

Detroit Free Pres.
A middle-aged man with a troubled
look on his face stood on The corner
near the Central depot and attracted
the attention of a passer-by who in
quired:
Can 1 do anything for you, sir?"
STRANGER said the man, Owe
lost my grip"
"Oh, brace up" said the other in a
CHEEKY voice you'll get hold again
if you push in. 1t happens to us all
some time or other"
"I'm afraid I'llnever get it again, !"
said the other sadly.
Nonsense, man. Don't give up
now when they've just discovered
the elixir of life," advised his friend.
Take hold again like man."
"What air you talking aboutf"
asked the other, II lost my grip with
four new shir is init, anew waistcoat,
pair of suspenders, and my wife s
photygraft. Just give me chance
and you'll see whether I'll take
hold of it or not" and he walked of
with suspicious look at his late
adviser.

Civil Lists.

The civil list of the United King
dom amounts to 1886, 900; the rev.
enue of the duchy of Lancaster
amounts approximately to 100000,
making a total of 2445,OOO. To
this sum may be added the income
of the Prince of Wales-annuity
94O,OOOand 100000 from the duchy
of Cornwall-and annuities to the
other members of the royal family
makinga grand total of $685., 900.
In Austria the civil list is e79O,OO0,
and the emperor has a private for
tune which probably brings him as
much. In Germany the emperor as
king of Prussia has a civil list OF
$3.50, 900, and besides has large do
mains, the revenues of which enable
him to provide for all the princes
and princesses of his house. The
crown prince is entitled $4,000 per
annum from the country. In Italy
the civil list of the king is over
5000, OOO,-The revenue of the car

More CatacOmbs,

A subterranean chamber has been
discovered under O house on the hill
side at Naples. Along the centerruns
q mosaic pavement, and on each side
there is a double row of sepulchers
hewn in the rock, the fronts of which
are stuecoed and painted and decor
ated with terra Gotta and marble re-
liefs. Within the tomhs were perfect
skeletons, vases and other objects,
the antique lamps being in such good
condition that when the new find was
inspected by aparty of German arch
biologists, the workmen made use
of them to light up the vaults. Tie
many well preserved inscriptions are
chiefly in Greek, with some Latin, and
prove that the epoch of these tombs
was about 1000 B. C. Other tomhs
in second chamber have not yet
been excavated. Similar catacombs
have heretofore been found in this
locality.-Pall Mall Gazette.

"Your arguments sound plausible

Language the Lord Understood.

From the New York Tribune.
The clergy cannot always insist Oh
the use of ecclesiastical nomenclat-
ure. Not long ago clergyman was
asked to visit a rough old fellow who
was dying. "Do you realize that
you have committed many sins?"
asked the clergyman. Dunno bout
committin' SINS" was the reply,
"but am poorly blamed sure that 1
have made a great many bad breaks
in my life." As "bad break" was
evidently his equivalent for sin,
the clergyman accepted the acknowl-
edgement and passed on to the ques-
ton: care yon sincerely penitent?"
"Dunno bout that, either, Mr.. Min
ister," was the reply, "but know
that l have been an everlastin'
chump, and amt no good to no.
body, not even to the Lord, and I'm
mighty sorry for it." The language
of this confession was rude and crude
enough, but the clergyman accepted
it as the honest expression of a hui
man soul, and the poor old fellow
was reconciled to the church before
he died.

OF it's harsh and shocking variety of
information and ungraceful gesticu-
lation.
DR.. Talmage's removal to Philadel-
phia increased vastly the number of
his admirers, and his ministry of sew
en- years in the Quaker City was a
great success. During this period he
became popular as a lecturer. At
the time of his acceptance of the call
by the Brooklyn Church he had the
choice Of that-seemingly the poorest
of all, only nineteen members voting
one in Chicago and one in San
Francisco. He removed to Brook
Ign in March, 1869 and soon filled d
church which had been much too
large for the worshipper. The next
year tabernacle of sheet iron was
built by the congregational for the bet

begun. All seats were free. In De-
cember, 1872 it was consumed by
fire, and the congregation assembled
in the Academy of Music until Febru-
airy, 1874, when the new tabernacle
was opened.
This is one of the largest buildings
in Brooklyn, and is known as the
Tabernacle. 1t is semi-circular in

The Pestiferous Horse Fly.

Of the fly species the horse fly Is
the most cruel and bloodthirsty of
the entire family. He is armed with
q most formidable weapon, which
consists of four lancets, 80 sharp and
strong that they will penetrate leath-
or. When not in use they are nicely
folded away in q sucker. He makes
his appearance in June, and may
often be seen in the vicinity of small
streams of water. He is said to sub
nit in part upon an airy diet, and to
pass his life harmlessly. Not SO the
female, for she is armed with
six lancets, with which she bleeds
both cattle and horses, and even hui
man beings. She lays her eggs in
moist places, and, after they are
Matched into footless maggots, they
make ali necessary journeys by
stretching and closing the segments
of their bodies, their heads being ap
piled by two hooks, by which they
get their food. In process of time

earth, where itreposes for some weeks
after which it bursts the pupa case
and comes forth a large black fly

A Fashionable Amusement,

The Chinese Times states that the
annoyance of having large bricks
dropped from the city wall on the
heads of those passing below is
more and more experienced by for
eigners. Several parties have been
attacked in this way lately, and the
amusement is becoming fashionable.
The bricks OF the Perkin walls are of
great size, and one of them falling on
a mans head from a forty-feet height
would most decidedly leave an i'm
preston. One gentleman just escaped
one the other day, but the brick
alighted on the head of his horse,
which was felled to the ground.

Such men have not been accustom-

their brains in loose small talk, and
when they speak, they are apt to say
something. They run naturally to
aphorism, and their wit is not only
dry, but has what Lowell calls a

an Indian in the Monterey, Cal,

people that "old Gabriel'' was a

he became SO expert at the business
that he managed the construction OF
the San Antonio mission in 1871.

The New HALLWAY.

The new ''slide' railway has been
most successfully experimental on
in Paris. The invention enables
trains to be run by means of water
power, at a speed hitherto consider
ed impossible. This system would
seem peculiarly adapted for elevated
railways in cities, being light, noise
less, smooth, without smoke and
thoroughly under control. A water
train running at over one hundred
miles an hour could, it is stated, be
pulled within thirty yards. climb up
gradients of sixteen inches in the
yard, descend with equal safety and
run on curves of forty-four yards
radius. The cost of this system is
not to exceed $40. 900 per mile.
