NOTHING GREEN ABOUT HIar.

| A Rural Traveller Who Was Up to the
Tricks OF the City Bunco Man.
Chicago Times.
He was an elderly man, probably 80.
His whiskers grew a little tuft like
Uncle Sans, straight out from the point
of his chin; his linen buster was evil
IDENTIFY the same he had purchased to at
tend the state fair several years ago. He
came out to the front end of the depot,
| ga2ed around in bewildered fashion,
| up and down and across the street, and
half dozen cabmen rushed for him
headlong.
Cab, sir9 Cab, sir? This wayr
Amy part of the city, sir; nice cab"
Take you to u good hotel, sir, for a

One had his grip. the other the UNI
brella and the third had him pinioned
by the ample folds of his buster. Just
then well-dressed man who had been
watching the occurrence approached,
and waving the cabman aside, said
"Where do you wantlto 20, sir 2"
He recovered his grip, umbrella and
breath first, glanced up at the man,
grinned sardonic, rural, spasmodic
grin, and as he gripped his belongings
That's none of your darned business.

irate young man retired up stairs to the
company's offices.
The agrculturist winked the other
eye in admiration of his own shrewd-
ness, and, calling cabman, said

SAN Francisco, Aug. 80. Harry
Baily, the Australian, and John Sulli-
van, a San Francisco bantam, fought "a
rounds at the California Club last night
for purse of $1,000. The men were
very evenly matched and little advan-

round, when repeated jabbing on the
throat made Sullivan sick and he wanted
to quit, but his seconds put him into the
ring for another round. Baily again
hit him in the neck and he dropped to
his knees and remained until counted
out. Neither man was much marked.

NEW YORK, Sept 10 A cablegram from
Minister Reid at Paris announces the
death of Major Jonas A. Bundy. Major
Bundy was one of the western journalists
who have made their mark and place in
the metropolis. Born in New Hampshire,
his family moved to Beloit, Wis, when
he was but child. There he was edu-
Gated, graduated from college and studied
law with Matt H. Carpenter, of Milwau-
kee, and completed the legal course at
Harvard. He published in 1860 a pam
plet defending the national power of the
federal government as against the CAL
hounistic state rights" views held by his
own party This pamphlet was so effect
i've as to prevent the election of a chief
justice and saved the state from being
committed in lS60-6l to the doctrines on
which South Carolina seeded.
Bound To BE a Journalist.
With an irrepressible tendency to news
paper work he obtained a reportorial po-
sition on The Evening Wisconsin, and
afterward rose to the edtorship of The
Milwaukee Sentinel. After nearly five
years army service he went to New York,
spent two years on the editorial staff of
the New York Evening Post, and in 1868
accepted the position of editor of The
Evening Mail, which he had retained
since, and admirably managed through
its consolidation with the Express. The
mjor's powerful attacks on the Tweed
ring in New York caused his appoint
ment as member of the committee of
seventy who ruled the city until its gov
ernment was reorganiZed.

Not to Be Endured,

line
Just now the papers are having good
deal to say about the arrest of Wisconsin

Fortunately it is no easy matter to bull

TIMELY INVOCATION.

Polly's PRAYER Prevents a Robbery
and Leads Burglar to Misfor-
tune.
A maiden lady, who lives alone ex-
cept for her servants, owns a fine par
rot which her nephew brought back
from visit to South America. The
bird was sent to a professional train
er to be taught to speak, but when it
was returned it obstinately refused to
utter a word, and the mistress decid-
ed that the teaching had been fail
ure. Polly's cage hung in a dressing
room which adioined the mistress
chamber, and at night the door be-
tween the two rooms was left open.
One night burglar got into the
house, and after packing up the silver
below stairs, crept stealthy up to the
chamber of the lady, where he pro-
ceeded to gather together her jewelry.
He had got most OF her valuables in
to handbag without awakening her.
when suddenly an unearthly voice
from the next room called out loud
enough to arouse the seven sleepers:
"God bless our home! God bless
our home!'
The burglar was so startled that he
dropped his dark lantern, and then,
in trying to recover it, stumbled head
long to the floor. The lady, suddenly
awakened, screamed at the top of her
voice, and the thief, now thoroughly
demoralized, took flying leap for the
stairway outside the door of the
chamber. He slipped, fell and broke
his leg, so that he was easily captured
by the butler and coachman. who
had come to the rescue OF their mis-
tress. zs.-..." - -.
All this time the parrot had con-
tinued to cry at the top OF his lungs:
"God bless our home! God bless
our homep'
Polly evidently felt that the time
for talking had come and under the
circumstances her mistress could not
get out Of patience with her, although
she screamed this one sentence for the
rest of the night. Having begun to
talk, indeed, she continued to chatter
for the rest of her life and was looked
upon as a remarkably, accomplished
