Joe. the Worm Man.

Joe Pierce, the ''only worm merchant, !"
died in this city few days ago. Joe
was well known on the water front. His
store was portable bucket and gunny-
sack. His place of business was nearly
always open, for Joe slept but little. He
had no partner but a diminutive Scotch
terrier that was constantly at odds with
the whole world, and his only stock In
trade was worms.
Four years since Joe, who had an in
terest in pure politics, determined to
register as a voter. The Registrars
clerks subjected him to close cross-fre
of questions because his mien was sus-
piciously humble and his garb seedy ard
worn.
"What is your business2" he was
finally asked, and, drawing himself to-
gether, Joe answered in all seriousness:
81 am worm merchant.
He was passed, and the story of his
tilt with the commissioners travelled
through the mazes of the water front,
and honest Joe was thenceforth known
as "the worm merchant"
It was ten years ago that Joe appeared
on the water front and inaugurated his
enterprise He took up his stand at the
corner of Clay and East streets, with his
Shiny wares concealed in a bucket bear
ing the advertisement in prominent let
tiers made with shoeblack: "Wirms,
Fresh an Gud."
"You've spelled that wrong, Joe, ="
remarked sailor to him one day.
"Never you mind, was Joe's reply.
''Wirms is worms, and people as wants
'em knows where to get 'em."
Late at night, when noisy revelry
reigned high in the brilliantly lighted
saloons along East street, Joe would go
down to the wharf and push out through
the muddy water in small boat. Next
to an asphaltum cover Joe was the next
best friend to the terodo-stricken piles,
for he searched diligently for the long,
wriggling things until his gunnysack
was almost alive with them. Next
morning he would take up his position
on East street and wait for customers.
Nearly every lover of the rod patronized
him, and the superstition spread opace
that Joe was sort of piscatorial mas
cot, and that his worms were "sure to
fetch" He contributed by his thrift to
the support of his mother and sisters.
When the news came that he was dead
the whole water front mourned his loss.

Why the Dayaks Hunt Heads.

Many Dayak tribes of Australia are
still addicted to head-hunting, a prac-
tice which has made their name motor
ious, and which but lately threatened
the destruction of the whole race. It is
essentially religious practice--so much
so that no important act in their lives
seems sanctioned unless accompanied by
the offering of one or more heads. The
child is born under adverse influences
unless the father has presented head or
two to the mother before its birth. The
young man can not become a man and
arm himself with the mandau, or war
club, until he has beheaded at least one
victim. The wooer is rejected by the
maiden of his choice unless he can pro-
duce one head to adorn their new homo.
The chief fails to secure recognition IN
til he can exhibit to his subjects a head
secured by his own hand. No dying
person can enter the kingdom beyond
the grave with honor unless he is accom-
panied by one or more headless compan-
ions. Every rajah owes to his rank the
tribute of numerous escort after death.

A LAST CHORD.

Madame Langelot, a comely, smiling
woman of thirty-six, was humming mer-
rily as she went to and fro in her dining
room, and giving the last glance, the
careful housewives glance, to the family
table. Whatever the season might be,
there was always bunch of flowers to
enliven the board and testify to the deli
cate touch of woman.
Suddenly Madame Langelot stopped,
as she recognized her husbands step, and
he had hardly entered the room when
she exclaimed;
"What is the matter7 You look up
SET"
81 have reason to be, darling," he re-
piled, "when a man hears at the same
moment of the failure and the death of his
only brother"
"You brother, oh, my poor dear!''
cried Madame.
His marriage, as you know, was an
unfortunate one" continued the husband,
she was an artist IN heart and soul, and
forgot everything in his love for an
Italian lady, who had madonna like
face and wonderful musical talent. Her
dark eyes bewitched him, and in spite of
my entreaties, and our fathers opposi-
ton, he married her. He was utterly
incapable of managing his business, and
was made reckless by the death of his
adored wife. Yesterday, in despair, he
took his own life, and on me devolves
the task of settling his affairs in an hon
orable manner. I must do this dear, for
he was Langelot."
"Of course" was the reply, sit is
your duty"
"Ttere is something else, said Mon
sieur Langclot slowly, and his wife,
startled by his hesitation, exclaimed
anxiously:
"What do you meanT
"My brother has left son, he is
twelve years old, but delicate and de-
formed, and will never be able to provide
for himself"
''And you think it is cur duty to
adopt him?'
"My dear"
"You are perfectly right" cried the
young woman, kissing her husband
fondly, chow good you are, dear! Bring
the poor boy home, and he shall be our
Clairette's elder brother"
And thus the orphans fate was settled
by these two simple loving souls.
Monsieur and Madame Langelot, who
had been married twelve years, idolized
their only child. Clairette was three
years old, frail, delicate little creature,
highly nervous, treated like queen, and
somewhat despotic, as spoiled children
usually are.
In few days I.ucien Langelot arrived
at his uncle's home. He was Painfully
deformed, pale and deliccaqstses ,- of his
mothers radiant beatty had inherited
nothing except the Erge dark eyes, which

An Opportune Thirty Cents.

81 had a most extraordinary piece of
luck last Sunday" remarked young
broker to a Tribune reporter day or two
ago, "and for it have been thanking a
kind Providence ever since. l invited a
girl cousin to go down to Long Beach
for the afternoon, take supper there and
return in the early evening. After we
started I discovered that had somehow
brought only $29O with me. I had one
railroad ticket, but with another required,
two suppers, car fares and ferriage, fig
ure as wanted, was just about twenty
cents short. It was one of those horri-
BILE cases of smiling and joking without,
and a sort of whited sepulchre within,
wondering wildly howto pull through.
We reached the beach, and l was re-
volving the plan of throwing myself on
the mercy of the clerk and offering a
check, when we stopped in our stroll
along shore to examine some shells and
seaweed, when blamed if lying right at
my feet wasn't thirty cents-a quarter
ana q nickel.
81 stopped down and picked them up
in hurry.
What have you found7' asked my
companion.
GA little silver, said, carelessly.
"'Oh, how lovely. How much9'
"tOnly thirty cents, said, as though
Twas disappointed at not finding a bag
of it. I wasn't disappointed. Never
was so happy in my life. 1t was just
enough to pull me through, and reached
home with ten cents, but 1 tell you it
don't do to lean on your luck like that
every day. "-New York Tribune.

You're not 50 big as you were then.
0 little brookl
/ mean those hay summers when
We boys roamed, full OF awe, beside
Your noisy, foaming, tumbling tide,
And wondered if IL could be true
That there were bigger brooks than you.
Omighty brook, o peerless brookl
An up and down this reedy place
Where lives the brook,
We angled for the furitive dace;
Theeedwing- blackbird did his best
To make US think he'd built his nest
Hard By the stream, when like as not,
He'd hung It in a secret spot
Far from the brook the telltale brook!
And often, when the noontime heat
Parboiled the brook.
We'd draw our boots and swing our feet
Upon the waves that, in their play,
Would tag us last and scoot away;
And mother never seemed to know
What burnt our legs and chapped them So
But father guessed it was the brook
And Fido-how he loved to swim
The cooling brook,
Whenever we'd throw sticks for him;
And how we boys did wish that we
Could only swim as good as he
Why, Daniel Webster never was
Recipient of such great applause
AS Fido, battling with the brook
But once-O most unhappy day
For you, my brook
Come Cousin Sam along that way;
And having lived spell out west,
Where creeks aren't counted much at best
Eo neither waded, swan, nor leap,
But, with superb Indifference, slept
Across that brOok-our mighty brooki
Why do you scamper on your way,
You little brook,
When come back to you to-day2
Is 1t because you flee the grass
That lunges ut you as you pass,
AS If, in playful mood, it would
Tickle the truant if it could,
You chuckling brook-you saucy brooki
Or is it you no longer know
You tickle brook
The honest friend of long ago?
Theyears that kept US twain apart
Have changed my face but not my heart
Many and sore those years, and yet
fancied you could not forget
That happy time my playmate brooki
Oh, sing again in artless glee,
My little brook.
The song you used to sing for ne
The song that's fingered in my ears
So soothingly these many years;
My grief shall be forgotten when
I hear your tranquil voice again
And that sweet song, dear little brookl

flfumined his thin face with their bril-
liant flashes. Close against his breast he
pressed violin, his dearest treasure.
At sight of this stranger the little
Clairette began to cry and sob convul-
sively. Her cousin looked timidly ct the
fair-haired and gaily dressed little crea-
ture for minute, then raising his instru-
ment, said softly,
"Listen, the violin viii sing to you
do not cry"
And beneath his young fingers the ar
lists bow moved wondrously, the sound
of gay yet tender air burst forth, and
the improvisation like a caress suddenly
soothed the child's fears, and she was
silent.
''More, morel Sing again, pretty
music!" cried Clairette when the player
stopped, and she clapped her little hands
in glee.
So the wonderful violin played on,
seeming to speak words of enchantment,
and showing plainly what the poor
hunchback had received as his maternal
inheritance. From that day tender af-
lection united the two children, and the
years passed on.

leaned forward, gazing at my dia-
grams, and he gave an audible sigh of
relief or satisfaction when came to a
turning-point in the tide of battle.
Stanton stood up behind me. He
would ask question now and then,
which showed how well he grasped
the situation. His voice was calm and
low, but his eyes glistened through
his spectacles as he stroked his luxu-
RANT black beard.
I lost my sense of weariness, and
we all forgot the lapse Of time until I
had finished.
All three warmly thanked me.
"Can we do anything for you in re-
turn ?" asked the President
"Yes. sir" said I; "you can. am
under orders to join the Army of the
Potomac, and made application for q

I went to the hotel and tumbled into
bed, very tired man. At noon I was
aroused and the desired pass placed in
my hand. That afternoon embarked
for City Point and reached the siege
works the next day, in time to see
Warren extend his lines beyond the
Weldon Road, when you fellows carried
the earthworks so gallantly and began

Midnight came as the task was

made upon me. The news of my ar
rival had reached the President, and
there was polite message inviting me
to call on him before retiring. Such
request could not be ignored, so ]
hastened to the White House. On nv
arrival / found Mr.. Lincoln, with
Secretaries SewRd and Stanton, wait
ing for me.
I'VE are very sorry, sir, to put you
to so much trouble, said Mr.. Lincoln,
"but the fact is, Mr.. Correspondent,
we are anxious to learn the details OF
General Sheridan's victory. We can
not wait for your printed story. You
know so much and we so little; I
thought you might be willing to tell us
your news in person"
II shall be only too happy, sir, to
tell you what have seen in the VAL
ley" l replied. "But I supposed Cen
eneral Sheridan's dispatches had ar
rived long before this; he had the wire
at Harper's Ferry, a privilege was
denied"
yes, we received Sheridan's report
some hours ago." said Mr.. Stanton,
"but, though eminently satisfactory in
stating the general results, his dis
patch is so brief and curt it gives us
no adequate idea of the scope of the
fight"
"Well, gentlemen" said I, II will do
my best. Please order me few sheets
of paper and some colored pencils, for
rough maps of the different move
ments." 3.
For two hours I sat at table, with
the three principal officers of the Gov
ernment, telling simple story of a.
battle fought only a few hours before
one hundred miles away. AS I drew
my maps and related how the engage
ment had been pushed here and given
up there-how the heavy mass of in
fantry in the center had moved stead-
lily forward in the face of a CALLING
fire, how the cavalry had finally given
the coup de grace by swift, resistless
charges on the enemy's fanks, how
Russell had died and Sheridan acted
I felt all the enthusiasm of the fight
again come over me, and my three audi
itors participated in my excitement
The contrast presented by these three
distinguished men as I talked was a

flame, as the Nineteenth Corps moved
into it to relieve the pressure on the
Sixth. His lips parted and he
Strengthened his tall form when I
spoke of the rapidity of the artillery
fire and the flash of the bright sabers
of the cavalry drawn in the sunshine.
He was, for the moment, on the ground
itself, his mind ran ahead of my words,
and his own eyes saw the entire scene
of operations. Seward was fully as
much interested as his chief, though
he manifested it in different way.

Amber is fossilized resin. It is
now supposed that the source of this
resin was forests of coniferous trees like
the pines aud frs, these having been sub
merged ages ago, the wood in great part
decayed, leaving the resin to become
hardened or fossilized. The most exten-
sive amber mines in the world to-day are
along the Baltic ON the Prussian coast,
but it is found in many other localities
and as far north as Siberia and Greenland,
and in several places in this country, but
not in large pieces or quantities.
