IIabouchere Does the Big TofI.

Talking about boyish escapades, +"
have a vivid recollection" says Mr..
Henry Labouchere, ''of day when.
happening to have more money than i
knew what to do with, l determined
to do the big toff.' / sailed forth to
the largest hotel in Eton, engaged a
private room. and ordered the waiter
to bring me bowl of punch. The
discreet functlonary stared, but brought
it; it was then my turn TO stare and
wonder what on earth l should do
with the huge bowl full of a fluid the
odor of which made me feel faint. At
length, my eye resting upon q good
old-fashioned cupboard of antique oak,
a brilliant idea struck me. 1 opened
the door and poured the whole of the
punch into the basement of the cup
board. Then after waiting few min
Iltes to see whether the obnoxious
liquor would make inroads upon the
carpet, the pattern of which was that
of golden crowns on royal blue
ground, | rang the bell again, and, on
the waiter appearing, in still more au-
thoritative tones | ordered another
bowl Never shall | forget the ex-
preston of Mortified amazement which
came over the mans countenance. The
second potatiun went the way of the
iirst-that is to say. into the cupboard;
and Alexander the Great, after his
victory over Darius, could not have
felt prouder than did when l called
for the bill, disbursed sovereign for
the punch, ten shillings more for the
private parlor, tipped the waiter, and
staggered into the street, fully per-
sraded that The eyes of the whole inn
were upon me, which, in my exultant
state of mind. were tantamount to
t!.ose of ali Europe. l never went

The English Girl.

Two points of advantage the En-
glish girl possesses over the American
girl, observes traveller in the Boston
Herald, and these are precisely the
qualities that particularly appeal to
men; she is more romantic and more
submissive. While as full of senti-
ment as the ideal love letters tied with
blue ribbon, she still regards man as
her lord and master. She rarely
dreams of disputing the supremacy of
husband, father, or even brother, and
her privilege and pleasure is to minis
ter unto them. She is so affectionate
in her home circle that the average
man has only to be admitted here to
straightway fall head over heels in
love with girl who worships her
brother, is forever kissing her fond
father, and disputes with her sisters
the honor and the delight of warming
the paternal slippers. Even when of
''high station" she takes her turn in
making the tea and preparing the
toast and experimenting the break
fast generally-a task which mamma
relegates to her daughters. The En-
glish girl breathes this engaging air
of domesticity. Man doesn't say,
'.How she can waltz; how well she
looks at the opera; how she surpasses
all the other girls in the cotillionm
No matter to what advantage she may
appear in evening dress under the soft
radiance of the wax candles, what the
most inveterate bachelor whispers to !.
himself is this: "By George! what a
wife she would make! And what q

Knew What He Was About.

A well-known resident of Detroit is
the possessor of a brown spaniel. to
which he is very much attached. He
related the following story to Free
Press representative, which contains
"good and sufficient reasons for his
attachment: "One winter night" said
my wife and l had retired, | was
partially awakened by JOKER who
had jumped up on the bed and placed
his fore paws on my chest. l pushed
the dog off onto the floor and turned
over t. go to sleep again. He repeated
his first performance and again
pushed him off. After that instead of
jumping on me, he pushed his nose
under my head three or four times,
and sprang back quickly to prevent
my hitting him. Atlast was thorough

whip Joker for bothcring me. | had

A Question of Street Etiquette.

The question is often put to me-"
says lady whose opinion in matters
of etiquette is wholly competent,
young lady's arm in acting rs her es-
cort on a promenade after nightfall.
Unhesitatingly and percmptoriIy, no.
Not after nightfall, nor by daylight,
nor at any other time. An invalid
may lean upon a young woman's arm;
a grandfather, if he is infirm, may
avail himself of familiar support. and
a Broadway policeman seems to have
acquired the right to propel his
charges in petticoats across that thor
oughfare by grasp upon the arm,
but these are the only male persons so
privileged. For an acquaintance. Il
friend, or one who aSpires to a still
nearer place, to take the arm of
young woman wien walking with her
on a public highway is inexcusable.
You may be sure nothing will so
quickly offend her good taste, although
she may lack the social skill to resent
and avoid it. And the spectacle in
itself is most unpleasing. To see
young woman pushed along, little in
front of her escort, by his clutch upon
her arm is neither suitable nor pictur-
esque. 1t reverses all preconceived
ideas of gallantry. The fair should
lean upon the brave. Virile strength
ought ever to support feminine frail-
ness. Offer her your arm, young man,
every time, aud never ender any cir
cumstances commit the familiarity and
oifense by saking hers. .'-Neoo TOE'

Learning to Think.

In everyday life no fact is so no.
ticeable as the inability of many per-
sons to do their own thinking, even in
matters and upon lines wholly within
the range of their Intelligence. They
will see point that is suggested to
them, and will at once understand its
bearing on some matter in hand, but
they do not seem to have the faculty
or art of raising points for themselves,
and consequently their action is not
as intelligent as it might be If given
rule to work by they will apply it,
not only i'll season but out of season,
and will look amazed if one suggests
that under special circumstances they
should have varied their usual procad-
ure. Every employer aud Ovcrseer
of labor knows to what extent this is
the case. 1t is the exceptional work
man who really thinks, and who can,
therefore, be trusted to suit his action
to circumstances. And so in nearly
every sphere of life; II kind of automa-
tism seems to be the rule and intelli-
gent self-direction, in the light of pres
ent facts, more or less the exception.
One is, therefore, tempted to ask
whether, in connection with our sys-
tenn of education, some gymnastic
might not be devised for the special
purpose of teaching the rising genera
tion to think.-POputar Science.

wbx the Chain Was Missing.

In 1859 or 1860 the colored people OF
this city undertook to make Joshua A.
Giddins, of Ohio, the gift of a gold
watch, says the Brooklyn Eagle. They
did not raise enough to put chain to
it, and the watch was presented minus
the chain. Here is part of letter
from Rev. DR.. Henry Highland Gar
nett, many years after, shortly before
he left for Liberia, whershe died: ''Do
you remember how we got out of the
predicament in which we found our
selves when we presented Il fine gold
watch to j. A. GiddIngs in Shiloh
church, You said to me, Hero is a
great omission; there is no chain to the
watch-that will look shabby | said
to YOU, Never mind, we will fix that,
and said to Mr.. e., Sir, you will per-
ceive that this timepiece has no chain
attached to tive knew that your alb
horrence of chains is so great that you
would scarcely tolerate one, even
though it were wrought in gold Do

to say, That's too thin-do you think

An Initiative Canary.

A week or two since .tBilly's" cage
stood upon its stand at the open win
dow and robin, alighting upon
tree near the house, belched forth one
of those mornful 'tyaps" which are
distressing to hear. 1t was the first
time that the canary had heard, to our
knowledge, the call of any bird since
he came last fall into the house. At
once he took up the mournful tone,
making sad work of it at first. His
mistress could not divine what the lit
tie fellow was attempting to initiate;
as he improved we at once took the
idea and told her it was the call of the
robin, and now, in spite of all that can
be done to arrest his limitations. he is
constantly interpolating that call into
his own beautiful song-a sad illustra-
ton that evil communications currupt
good manners. While the bird was
still experimenting upon that dismal
call we turned his attention from it by
repeating the name of his mistress, in
which exercise for the time being he
joined heartily. All attempts to
frighten him were vain, as he would,
after the scare was over, sit upon his
pearch and ting and whistle, as if he
was enjoying the contest with his mas
ter. We do not say that he was. but
canaries are no fools, as one will be-
come convinced if he handles them

just That One in the World.

The little daughter of a Concord
clergyman dropped her doll at the
depot this morning, and her grief was
great in consequence, the face Of the
plaster pet looking as if it might have
been the object of the spite of 1000
pound pile-driver. The unfeeling
newspaper man suggested to the little
one that there were plenty more dolls
in the market which her father might
buy, but the tears continued to flow
and the sObs sounded louder as she
brokeniy utter: .'Therc's no other
Blanche. She came clear from Paris" :"
Few sorrows in life will ever seem so
overpowering to that child as the loss
of her darling DOLL The world
probably will never seem ST. desolate
to her as it did this morning.
