A FLY" MONGOLIAN.
How He Got the Nickel He Claimed from
the "L" Ticket Agent.


A Monaghan, who had evidently not long
been a sojourner among the western bar
barans, got into an alteration with a ticket
seller at one of the elevated railroad stations
the other day He had purchased ticket,
but was under the impression that he had
paid the agent dime and that therefore five
cents was still due him The agent was firmly
convinced that the Chinaman had given him
only five cents, and therefore had no right to
demand any change.
The Chinaman's knowledge Of English was
exceedingly limited but he was endowed with
al the persistency that characterizes his race.
He continually used the phrase Cheese it,"
evidently in the faith that the words were
barbaric "cuss words" Of marvellous potency.
81 tell you, John" said the agent, sooth-
ingly. you gave me only a nickel; you've
got your ticket and it's all right"
Cheese it'll Give me five cents" yelled the
Monaghan.
I'm treating you dead square. Idon't owe
you anything"
Cheese it'll Give me five cents"
you've got your ticket; that's your FIVE
cents"
Cheese 1t! Give me five cents"
So the colloquy went on To everything
that the agent said the Chinaman made only
the one reply with increasing vehemence; 4
Cheese it'll Give me five cents" y
The agent, at length perceiving that it was
useless to attempt to persuade the Chinaman
that be had not been wronged, ceased pay
ing any attention to him Then the China
man changed his tactics. Retreating into a
corner be quietly watched the passengers a.
they bought their tickets
An old man came forward and planked
down dime. The ticket agent thrust for
ward a ticket and a nickel for change The
old man fumbled with the ticket, trying to
pick it up from the smooth glass projection
in front of the ticket sellers little window
1t was tho Chinaman's opportunity. Like
a cat after a mouse he darted forward and
grabbed the nickel
Come here, you thieving heather, and
bring back that nickel" shouted the enraged
agent, while the old man was simply render
ed speeches. with establishment
Cheese it," yelled the fleeing Chinaman as
he rushed through the open door; "me got
five cents; you heap dam fool"
He hoped on board a train and was car
ried away, while the agent, after giving the
old man another nickel, thus soliloquized:
Talk about being fyl Them Cinnamon

Laughs in her happy, Jucund tone:
Again, the yearning of the dove is heard

The Worth Rustle.

One OF the things to be included in the
list of underw earthis season is the import
ed Worth hustle. 1t has a peculiar yoke
shaped top, about four inches wide, into
which reeds are run to preserve its slope,
and from thence fall three or four skirts
very full, and lined with a straight
breath that holds their fullness in place.
No steels are used at all. The nattiest
fall invention is the new riding-corset of
leather. 1t is very short, very shapely,
yellow in color, ali bound with pinkings
of scarlet leather, and has only five steels
one in front, one on each hip and one
on each side-the lacing in the back. The
leather is exquisitely moulded and shaped
by some peculiar process. whereby
the need of seams is avoided, and yet is
so pliable and adjustable that one
scarcely feels them. Another new cor
set of the season is called the morning
corset. 1t, too, is very short, has few
steels, has bust support of fine thin
linen drawn up around the shoulders
with ribbons threaded through fine lace,
and has no strings in the back. Several
elastic straps buckle some Of the corsets
in the back, and a peculiar arrangement
of long belts crossing in the back. pas
sing through slit in the webbing and
fastening in front, where they are easily
adjusted, either tightly or loosely, &C,
cording to the wearer's comfort. Most
expensive and beautiful are the new bro
caded corsets made of the same heavy,
rich brocades as the popular empire
gowns and finished with frillings of soft
lace, frilled as narrow as ribbons.-[S.

LONDON, January 6.-The navigation
on the Thames and in the North Sea is

A violent storm has occurred in the
Pyrenees. Rivers have overfowed their
banks and the streets OF Perpignan and
the country round about are flooded.
Communication has been stopped; an
enormous amount of damage has been

feared that the storm also wrecked many
vessels.
Cardinal Manning has prepared an ex-

proving that the fighting in Metz in 1870
began the day before August 10th, the
day on which Major Deines represents
General Bazaine as saying he received
Morier's intimation of the approach of
the Germans. Similar statements are
published by the Vienna papers. Most of

SAN FRANCISCO, January 5.-Early this
morning there was resumption of hos

highbinders said to be in the employ
of Lee Wing, and who wanted to secure
possession of the store. Just as one
Deputy Sheriff was relieving another,
the discovery was made that
some one was trying to pry open
the door. One Of the deputies shouted
to the invaders, who were now chopping
at the door, to desist or he would be shot.
A fusilade of bullets from the outside was
the response. The officers lodged behind
partition and then opened fire, the
|highbinders returning it with success.
