Politicians in Hayti.

Hayti suffers from a superfuity of
politicians; the supply largely ex-
ceedss the demand. The officers to
which perquisites arc attached are
too few to satisfy the hordes of ra-
pacious time servers, each anxious
for an opportunity to steal enough
from the public funds to support
himself the remainder of his life in
ease, be it in France, il the sum be
large enough, otherwise in Jamaica
or some other neighboring island, or
even in Hayti. But once successful,
he generally prefers to leave the
country than to remain and run the
risk of being compelled to disgorge
the fortune won at the expense ofhis
fellow citizens and his own honesty

A Primitive Timekeeper.

Now and then the explorer among
primitive people happens upon q
"find" which strikingly illustrates
that necessity is not only the mother
ofinvention. but that there is n strong
family likeness among tht inventions.
An English naturalist, while visiting
Great Sangir, one OF those islands Of
the Indian ocean known as the Cele.
bes, or Spice Islands, lodged ut the
house of u rajah.
Infront ofthe house was u veranda.
in the corner of which stood a sentry,
whose business it was to keep the
time for the village, by the aid of a
primitive sandglass.
Two bottles were firmly dashed to.
gether mouth to mouth, and fixed in
wooden frame, made to stand up
right neutrality-suspicious.. Aquan-
tity of black sand ran from one bottle
into the other in just half an hour,
and when the upper bottle was empty
the frame was reversed.
Twelve short sticks, marked with
notches from one to twelve, were
hung upon u string. A hook was
placed between the stick bearing the
number OF notches corresponding to
the hour last strucrk and the one to
bestruck next. Thesentry announced
the time by striking the hours on a
large gong.-Montreal Star.

Mrs. Ramsay and the Robbers,

Mrs. Ramsay and the Robbers,
The Rev. Mr.. Ramsay, : Methodist
clergyman. was wholly depsndsntfor
his living on the quarterly collection
made by his people, which was barely
sufficient, by the greatest economy,
to support his family. On the night
one of these collections was taken up
he was obliged to preach six miles
distant from home, and the night was
too stormy toallow his return. Dur
ing the night, two robbers broke in
the house, called up Mrs. Ramsay
and her sister, (there were no men
living In the house. and demanded
to know where the money was. Mrs.
r.. in her night dress lit q candle,
and leading the way to the bureau
that contained the precious deposit,
procured the key opened the drawer,
and pointing out the money as itlay
in the handkerchief, and said, "This
is all we have to live on. 1t is the
Lords money. Yet ifyou will take
it, there it is" With this remark,
she left them, and retired to bed.
The next morning, the money, to q
cent was found undisturbed. Con-
science here was appealed to, and with
happy results.

He Wore No Mask,

Mr.. ]. v. McNeal knows q cheap
ofgood stories. One of them relates
to Paymaster Van Vleet, n conspi.
cuous figure in Washington society,
who has been. a famous bachelor in
his day. He is blessed with an alb.
normally large, bulbous, and highly
colored nose. His hair is white, his
figureisgood, and his socinl manners
elegant. He always captured the
prettiest girl at the balls. On one
location at q mask ball a swell affair,
he had on his arm q beautiful young
lady of the highest social standing.
She had removed her mask and shone
forth in oil her charms.
"Now, really, colonel, it is not fair
for you to. wear your mask after
have removed mine" she said to the
gallant paymaster, guessing him to
be military man.
"IndeedI would not be guilty of so
great IN impropriety," he replied.
"Then remove your mask"
''But wear no mask
ooh, that is q bsurd. God Almighty
never made such IL nose as that"
Nobody enjoyed the remark more
than thepaymaster himself. He tells
the story to his friends with great
gusto.-lndianapolis News.

A Joke on Henry George,

When Henry George first began to
speak in public in California he was
inclined to be long-winded. He once
delivered the better part of 17-col.
umn grafton alta Fourth OF July cele-
hration. He began his GRAFTON late
in the afternoon. Afterlle had spoken
for an hour or SO the gallery began
to manifest unmistakble signs of i'm
patience. The orator deemed it time
ly to skip a hundred pages and con-
clude with the peroration. This was
deity done, and then, getting fresh
wind, he began:
ga thousand years hence who will
fight for liberty?"
"a thousand years hence who will
write for liberty?"
IA thousand years hence who will
speak for liberty?"
The pause at the last liberty-inspir-
ing interrogatory was broken by u
voice in the gallery, which rang thus
through the theater:
"Who will? Henry Gcorge!"
There was an explosion of laughter.
The merriment spread to the stage,
and in the midst OF it Henry George
folded his papers and SILENTLY stole
away"

Only His Grave Remains.

A friendless old man in n small town
in this state, after suffering many
years from cancer and using oil his
hard earned money, mortgaged his
small farm last fall for sum suffi-
Gent toget him into the Maine Gener-
al hospital, and went there to die,
but has fingered through the winter,
suffering acutely.
A few weeks ago word was sent to
the town authorities from the ilospi-
tai to make arrangements Mt once
for his burial, as he could not possibly
live but q few hours, and his body
would need immediate attention. So
in the lonely village churchyard was
dug his grave, which still awaits it's
occupant.
Strange to relate, the condition of
the sick man has since changed for
the better, and there is IL possibility
that he will recover sufficiently to re-
turn to find no house and no welcome
save the open grave on the bleak hill
side.-Cor. Boston Record.
