THEY SHOUTED "CASH."

A virginia Farmer Resents Undue Famil-

Cassius or Cash Cologne, as he is
usually named, well-known resident
of Fauquier County, Va, recently
paid his first visit to New York. Wish
ing, unlike so many men, to show his
thought for his wife when out of her
sight, he entered leading dry-goods
store for the purpose of buying dress
pattern or some such suitable article.
Walking up one of the aisles he was
more than surprised to hear some one
in the dim distance loudly yell out
CASH
Naturally surprised, he looked in the
direction whence the voice came sup
posing its owner to be friend or ac-
quaintance. and that Gotham's proverb
ial looseness of habit permitted this
manner of salute. Still he could see nc
one that he recognized. Wondering
more and more, establishment grew to
boiling point, when, as if by precon-
certed signal, from all quarters of the
room came persistent cries of CASH
Cash! Cash. This was more than the
Virginian chivalry, in the person of Mr..
Cologne, could bear, and, as at that mo-
ment clerk, with locomotive whistle
voice, standing right back of him, cap
ped the climax by shouting the name in
his very ear, he turned round and re-
marked:
Look here, young fellow. you folks
may think you're having lot of fun
with me, but if you use my name that
way again III break your neck"
1t took the proprietor and six floor
walkers half an hour to convince him as
to the facts of the case, and that no harm
was meant. Meanwhile he carried on
in such way that half the statesmen
went out and got big accident insurance
policies, good until the Virginia gentle
man was booked to leave town.-Rich-

RLoWHARp.s DEFEAT
The Results ola Meeting Betweena Due,
and Consumptive

and a COnsumptive.
You have seen the dufTer-a huIliro
big fellow, with bullet head and lots
of ind and fat, but without an ounce on
sand in his craw. He always picks his
man, and be always means to be certain
that he has got hold of somebody whOcan
be blufred and bulldozed.
There was a chap of just this sort-a
duffer from DuiIeryille-in the crowd q,
passengers obliged to wait at the demo,
! in Decatur. Ala, for several hours ON
account Of railroad accident. After
half an hour every body sized him IN
for what he was, but he was permitted
to go blowing around because no one
wanted the excitement of a row. He
boosted OF his fights and his victories.
and he tried hard to pick a fuss with
two or three farmers, and finally got his
eye on something good. 1t was tall,
slim, hollow-eyed man from Ohio. who
was evidently on his way to Florida TO
die of consumption. He had a deathly
look to his face, and as he wandered up
and down the platform he cOughed in
hollow and dismal way. Duffer ar
ranged to meet him in his walk, and at
once loudly demanded:
Ibid you remove my valise off the
seat?'

"Well want to find the man who
did; can mop the earth with him in

don't give me too much sass or I'll

''You are a loafer, sir-a frst-class
loafer!" said the Buckeye as he con
tinued to walk.
Il never strike a sick man." replied
the other, but l will tweak your nose
once just to reduce your temperature
Now come"
He reached out with thumb and fin
ger, but he didn't get the nose Instead
of it he got it bifT! bang! in the face with
the right and left, and as he went down
the consumptive kicked him to his feet
and knocked him over baggage truck.
He didn't get up again until two men as
sisted him. lie had two bunged eyes,
bloody nose, and a bleeding mouth, and
he looked about in helpless way and
stammered:
"Gen-gentlemen, lead me off some
where where can be alone"
When he had gone some one asked
the consumptive if he wasn't afraid the
exertion would give him hemorrhage,
and he replied:
What do you take me for?'
''Aren't you Nothern consumptive on

SIRIUS, THE DOG STAR.
Something About One of the Greatest o
the Fixed Stars.

Something About One of the Greatest OF
the Fixed Stars.
1t is difficult to conceive that this
beautiful star is a globe much larger
than our sun, yet it is fact that Sirius
is a sun many times more mighty than
our own. That splendid star, which
even in our most powerful telescopes
appears as mere point of light, is in
reality globe emitting so enormous
quantity of light and heat that were il
to take the place of our sun, every crea-
ture on this earth would be consumed
by its burning rays.
Sirius, shining with far greater
luster than any other star, it was natural
that astronomers should have regarded
this as being the nearest of all the
fixed" stars, but recent investigation
on the distances of the stars has shown
that the nearest to us is Alpha Centauri,
a star belonging to the southern lati-
tudes, though it is probable that Sirius
is about fourth on the list in order OF
distance. For, though there are about
fifteen or twenty stars whose distances
have been conjectured, the astronomer
knows that in reality all of them, save
three or four, lie at distances too great
to be measured by any instru-
ments we have at present. Astron-
omers agree in fixing the dis
lance Of the nearest star al
twenty-five million of millions of miles;
and it is certain that the distance OF
Sirius is more than three and less than
six times that of Alpha Centauri, most
likely about five times; so that we are
probably not far from the truth if we set
the distance of Sirius at about one hun
dred million of million miles! What
vast distance is this that separates us
from that bright star; words and figures
of themselves fail to convey to our minds
any adequate idea of its true character.
To take common example of illus
trating such enormous distances: 1t is
calculated that the ball from an Arm
strong hundred FOUNDER quits the gun
with a speed of about four hundred
wards per second. Now. if this velocity
could be kept up it would require no
fewer than 10, 900, 900 years before the
ball could reach Sirius! Again, take the
swiftest form of velocity of which we
have any knowledge, light, which trav-
els at the rate of nearly 100000 miles
per second, or about 100000 miles
minute, yet the distance of Sirius is so
vast that it takes nearly twenty years
for its light to reach US; so that if Sirius
was suddenly to become extinct, we
should not ba acquainted with the fact
until twenty years hence.-Chamber's

CONGRATULATIONS.
Persons Who Are Able to Make the Best
of s'a Bad Fix"

That great Briareus, the civilized
world, is certainly Observation-Disclosures,
but as a general rule, each of its multi
tudinous pairs of hands has only one
particular kind of cunning. The gun
smith can not make coat, nor the tailor
a weapon. Consequently the individual
man Of civilized life would, if segregated
from his fellows, be much more helpless
than a savage. The former depends, for
the supply of most of his wants, upon
others, til latter upon himself alone.
The division of labor is glorious thing
for society If it did not take nine men
to make a pin, pins would be much
dearer than they are. BUTT is very clear
that the craftsman, who can make moth
ing else than pins heads, or do nothing
else than sharpen pins points, would
starve to death where an Indian would
hive in comparative comfort.
Under these circumstances is it good
thing for any one to confne himself ex-
clusively to a speciality? Does itnot tie
ones hands and blunt ones wits to labor
exclusively at one trade, or profession,
or calling? Mutual dependence is ad-
mirable as long as we live in a hive.
But suppose the hive broke up and its
workers scattered over the world.
Verify the mutually dependent people,
thus separated would be the most shift
less of human creatures. 1t is good
thing to be perfect in one art, but it is
also good thing to know something OF
all arts that are useful. The man thus
accomplished is a microcosm-a world in
himself. Place him where you will, he
is independent and equal to every
emergency.
Versatility, then, is MOTTO be despised,
and the profound specialisI who SCOTS at
the handy fellow who knows little OF
every hing, as mere smatterer, would
be very glad to have such a person for
companion were he cast on a desert ISL
and or placed in any other awkward d.
lemma where his speciality would be use
less. Your classical scholar with Greek
and Latin, and nothing else, at his fin
gers ends, is not the sort of person one
would desire as comrade on board
raft hundred miles at sea.
The man of the wild who can make

pieces of dry wood, fashion hooks out Of

a canoe from the bark of tree, and

he kills, is the superior Of any civil
lied, one-trade man, everywhere ex-
cept in ''these thick solitudes called so

Boys appreciate this fact, if philoso-
piers do not, and hence their admira-

delightful as youngsters think it is to

generally after the manner of the afore-
said castaways; but it is good thing to
be able to make the best of "a bad fix"

The skin shed by rattlesnake

preserved at the boys seminary at Tab
lequah, in the Indian Territory, meas
ured thirteen feet long, is fourteen and
seven-eighths inches in circumference,
and has fifteen buttons. The person
who has examined, measured, and re-
ports upon it, says that it is very dry
skin, and therefore assumes that it
probably shrunk considerably in drying,
but this is not so, as the skin of snake
is thoroughly dry when shed, and con-
sequentiy represents the full size of the
snake. At any rate, this one is big
enough without claiming any such
allowance, and represents poisoning
power which it would take at least a
barrel of old Bourbon to counterfeit.
