PUTTING A FLEA IN "MR. oTHELLo'S" EAR
He noticed one day that Desdemona be
gan to pick lint off his coat, which is sal
to be the first symptom that a man is il
peril. "OGhello" grew confidential and tolc
er about his nast life. He had been grea
traveller, and "Desdemon4" loved to,,hear hin
tell the story Of his adventures, the battle
he had had with aggage-Smashers, the siege:
and encounters he had had with sleeping
car porters, the perils to which he had beer
exposed on land and water, how he hac
marched up to the railroad lunch counter
and wrestled with the adama ltine lemon
pie, and the pains he took vita the cucum
Der salads at the hotels, how he had escaped
from the fierce, unnamed New York re-
porter, etc. All these yarns and a great
many more, which "Othello" made up as
your with greedy ear "Othello's" dis
course. Il wasn't so much the yarns them
selves that caused "Desdemona's'' heart to
go pit-a-pat, as it was "Othello's" way OF
telling them.
And old Senator Brabantio didn't smell a
mica. II he had kept bis eyes open he could
have noticed a remarkable downward tend
ency of lampwicks ia the parlor on Sun
day evenings and had he listened at the key
hole he might have heard well-known
voice say:
Now, 'Othy,' go right away; you ha We
gone and unused up my new bang again. II
you don't stop II call paw"
"Othello" found much less difficulty in
popping the question than he did in ques.
tioning the pop. SO he neglected to do so,
hence when the black cat emerged from
the bag, and it got into the papers that
the happy couple had got married on the
sly, it was somewhat in the nature of a
surprise to the brides father, who had the
noble Moor arrested on the charge Of hyp-
nothing and usi * undue influence, being,
in fact, a Gen. Diss de Barr but the trial
resulted in the complete vindication Of the
noble Moor.
"Othello" and his wife then went to house
keeping and would probably have lived
very happily had it not been for "Iago" and
cassie, two friends Of ''Othell Is. >" "Isgo"
was artful and tricky. He was as big Lar
as the politician who says that no is out Of
politics and would not accept the nonlina-
ton if il was offered. "Othelo," Gu the
other hand, was like Washington. lie
couldn't tell a lie, not even when be heard
one. The confiding faith Of "Othello' was
greater than taat OF a man who eats chest
nuts in the dark. "Iago" may have aimed
to tell the truth occasionally, but, If so, he
was very poor shot.
"Cassio" was young soldier, gay, and
Of good address, pleasing qualities with
women. Amo gall Of Gen. "Othel o's friends,
none possessed his confidence moro entirely
than "Cassio," who was also popular with
"Mrs. Othello"
"Cassio" had one habit that told against
him. lie persisted in swearing Of every
New Years day, ami the consequences was
that he very frequently was in an intoxi-
Gated condition. Perhaps he had been raised
on bottle; but, otherwise, "Cassio" was a
perfect gentleman.
"Othellon had promoted "Cassio" to be
his chief Of staff, and this gave great Of
fence to "IRgo.n Few persons can observe

another soar above ITEM without feeling
sore themselves, aud LAG" was not one OF
the few. On the contrary, he was very
sore. He hated cassie" and he also hated
'Othell3," SO he conceived horrid scheme
of revenge which would involve Cash, +"
the Moor, and ''Desdemona" in one common
ruin.
One night '.Iago" began his deep LAID
pl us Of mischief. He proceeded to get
"Cassio" drunk At first, Casio" held
back, and called for soda water, but "Iago''
remarked cynically that man of spirit,
particularly if he was a soldier, never took
water. Pretty soou "CasSio's" head began
to swim ami the scenery revolved around
him. WHAT he saw may be desc ibed as a
circular saw. "Cassio" got into a fight with
Montana, worthy officer, and ten the
riot began to be general. "lago" then had
the alarm bell rung, and Immediately
"Othello" put ia an appearance partially
dressed with his suspenders da 1gling, and a
nude sword in mis- baud. The result was
that "Othello, who was strict disciplinar.
ian, was obliged to remove cassie" as an
offensive partisan.

BOOK NOTICES.

THE PLANTATION NEGRO AS A FREEMAN. BY
Philip A. Bruce. q. I. Putnam's Sons, New
York.
Mr. Bruce has been careful observer of
the negro since emancipation, and his OBJ
servations are valuable because Of their
truthfulness. His observations are confine
to the Virginia negroes, and what he says
with respect to them indicates a close and
careful study of their characteristics, thei
domestic relations and their relations to the
state. He does not hesitate to make men
ton of the good qualities they have devel-
oped As freemen, nor does he pass over
hurriedly their bad qualities. His book is
well worth reading.

cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-

blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more

On one occasion the Duke Of Yelling
lingtor received letter in the following
terms. I correct the spelling: "Mr.
Tomkins ventured to address the Duke
of Wellington. Mr.. Tomkins mother is
washermowan; Mr.. Tomkns regrets to
say that, having washed for the Marquis
of Douro for many years, his mother has
been unable to obtain payment for the
last three years Mrs. Tonkius is very
poor; and cannot afford to lose the money.
She hopes the Duke will kindly pay it.
Mrs. Tomkins' address is-." After
carefully reading aud considering the
letter, the Duke sent the following reply:
"Field Mar .shal the Duke of Wellington
has received letter from Mr.. Tomkins
stating that thu Marquis Of Douro is in
debt to his mother, Mrs. Tomkins. The
Duke of Wellington is not the Marquis
Of Douro. The Duke regrets to tind
that his Oldest son has not paid his
washcrwoman's bill. Mrs. Tomkips has
no claim upon the Duke Of Wellington
The Duke recommends her, failing
another application, to place the matter
in the hands Of respectable solicitor

the guests asked the Duke if he was MOI
