RRlDGET'S ULTIMATUM.
The Astonish0d Mistress Elected to Stay
and thO Cook Left.

The Astonishod Mistress Elected to Stay
and thO Cook Left.
A young lady of one of our suburbs
who married recently and went to
Connecticut city to live reports a re-
mark on the part of a servant girl, says
the Boston Transcript, which is quite
epic in that line. The lady, having
large house and being DESTROYS of rum
ming it in good form, called up her cook
each day to the dining-room, which was
on the main floor, the kitchen Icing in
the basement, and there gave her her
orders for the meals and other matters
connected with the downstairs work.
For day or two the cook took the
orders with a rather bad grace, but
committed no overt act of Instruction.
But presently, one day after the mis-
tress had finished her orders, the cook
spoke up.
''And now, num-" she said, 81 want
ye to isthen to what have to say, an
It's this: That if ye're go'an' to shtay
here, an We have ordhers to give me,
veil have to come downstairs to the
basement, for I'll not be comm up here
to We amy more"
Before the young mistress could re-
cover her breath after that 'If ye're
go'an' to shtay," the girl went on:
cam there's another thing want to
tell ye. notice that ye have wine on
the tebbIe aich day, but that none of it
WHATEVER gets downstairs to the
kitchen. Now, that's nayther roight
nor fair, an give ye warnin' that some
of that wine must find its way to the
kitchen or I'll be LAWN ye."
The mistress had by this time recov-
cred her composure. "You may be LAWN
me this afternoon, please!'' she said.

victory and that there is sufficient patriot

THE Irish potato famine may safely
set down as grim reality, now that the
queen has condescended to refer to it in
her speech to parliament, which usually
deals with glittering generalities only.
The troy suggestion that the famine was
only a scare gotten up to raise money
for political purposes can now be dis
missed.

NOT two years ago, by something over
three months, the republicans took
charge of the government, finding big
surplus in the treasury. Since then orr
receipts have constantly increased and
yet it is now necessary to consider how
we may increase the income of the
government in order to raise the money
to meet its annual expenditures. That
tells the story.

A Raven Dead Drunk.

No sooner could he toddle after leaving
the nest than he began to attempt various
short excursions about the premises, re-
connoitering the ground, and endeavoring
to repeat his name, Jerry" which he was
sedulously taught at feeding hours. No
need, however, to dwell upon his pupilage,
neither will space permit to produce all
the anecdotes which his life supplied
in abundance Suffice it to say, at the
commencement, that he was a paragon of
intelligence among birds. His palate was
nowise dainty, tallow candle being as
much relished as a slice of butter, the only
preference, for they were both stolen, be-
ing given to that which was most accessi-
BILE. And in order to gain access to any
kind of food upon which he set his affec
tions, his heavy beak was driven through
window, so enabling him to carry off an
apple cake, or candle. There was in
him strange taste for stimulants, but how
acquired | cannot satisfactorily explain
certainly not hereditary.
Cowslip wine was his favorite beverage;
and he might have imbibed the habit of
tippling by slipping the drops left-in wine
glass, to which he had often access and
which was occasionally mauled with his
sledge hammer of a beak, after he had
drained the dregs. Upon trial, found
him willing and able to drink off a glass of
cowslip wine at draught. This had its
due effect. He was excited, tapped about
the yard, crying out loudly; "Jerryl What,
Jerry What, Jerry! All, jerry All,
rogue" Such an exhibition encouraged
me to give him little more. To wine
glass full of his favorite drink was added a
large tablespoonful of rum. As usual, he
drank it off without hesitation and walked
away. At first | was afraid that the stim-
ulant had done him harm; his manner was
so quiet and his voice SO subdued, so
little appearance, indeed, was there of
excitement. But only wait awhile,
and what change! He COM
menced in a moment most furious raid
upon the poultry. He lesped upon the
backs OF ducks and hammered their heads
with his beak almost numerically; then
pursued the hens, catching them by their
tail-feathers, which were twitched out :;
and holding old chanticleer by his fine
arehed plumes, to his great CONSERVATION,
till he made him scream as if he were
about TO be killed. The last act of this
uTdila WAS, THAI lie most Qetermlnedly set
upon drake-perhaps in spiteful remem-
brance OF some past grievanee-as if re-
solved to destroy poor quack But his
vindictive proves was overcome by the
power of the stimulants within. In the
midst of the fray, Jerry slipped. and fell
over helpless on his back into a channel.
He was dead drunk. gathered him up,
slowed him away in his usual roosting
place, where he slept for several hours,
and then again appeared on the scene of
action, quiet, but none the worse for his
spree.-IRe Spectator.

AUDACIOUS TRAMpS.
THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF sU-
BURBAN RESIDENCE.
Mrs. Ballou's Experience With Them
Assistance From the Police
Was Necessary.

AT Ninth and D streets is large house
which has been vacant for several weeks
1t belongs to an elderly lady named Mrs
Ballou, VINO has been out of the city for
some time.
She returned a few evenings ago, how
ever, and decided to partly re-furnish the
house, with the hope of renting it, and also
for the purpose of residing there herself for
time. She was surprised to find the
house in filthy condition. Ali kinds OF
rubbish was scattered about, the walls
were soiled, and one room was worse than
pig-pen. However, she set to work the
next morning and thoroughly cleaned the
place, and had bedroom set and other
furniture brought to the house and placed
in one of the front rooms for her own use
that night.
She retired early and had slept several
hours when she was awakened by the
sound of heavy footsteps in the adjoining
room. She was too frightened to scream,
and lay trembling with fear
Voices followed the footsteps. They
were the voices of men, and there were evil
IDENTITY four or five of them.
Presently the front door opened and
closed and several more men entered. They
Joined the others. 1t was not long before
another party was heard to enter and the
poor old lady was nearly frightened TO
death, and expected that each succeeding
moment would be her last on earth
But, strange to say, no attempt was made
to enter her room.
1t is needless to say that Mrs. Ballou did
not attempt TO sleep again, and she was
afraid to try to escape
1t was truly night of terror. and she
says she will remember it to her dying day.
When morning arrived there was general
stirring about in the other rooms, and
presently the unwelcome lodgers could be
heard going out one by one. Mrs. Ballou
waited breathlessly until the sounds had
ceased, and then she timorously ventured
from Ger room and went into the one
where the noise had been during the night
Scattered here and there were empty tin
cans, bottles and crusts of bread, and over
in one corner was large bundle rolled up
in blanket. Mrs. Ballou inspected this
bundle and found that it contained full
grown, healthy, slumbering tramp. She
summoned up courage enough to arouse
him and order him out of the house
Fortunately, he offered no objection and
left quietly.
Mrs. Ballou took good care that day to
nail up every window and door in the
house. The next night the lodgers returned
and, bresking the door in. again spent the
night there-much to Mrs. Ballou's dis.
comfort.
Mrs Ballou then complained to the po-
lice, and officer Gibson was detailed to
watch the house. The next night the
tramps were chased off One of them,
however, was more determined than the
rest to retain his lodgings, and broke
through one of the windows in order to
gain admittance. The arrival of the police
though, frightened him off.
Mrs. Ballou's neighbors say that during
her absence a gang of tramps nearly twenty
strong took possession of the house, and
made regular lodging.house of it. Al
night their orgies at times were something
frightful
