The Eccentricity of English women.

The EcCentrnCity Ot EngItshwOmons
 It is in the conduct of Englishwomen that some fancy our British eccentricity is most markedly shown. How our sis ters in ulsters and short skirts are stared at on the Continent! The air with which the distinguished foreign lady looks them over through her long handled eyeglass is nothing less than delightful She seems to be thanking heaven she is not as they are. And yet it often happens that n little later she is fain to confess, with sigh, that if only her own bringing up had been half as generous and free as that of tll, English dalnsel she would be q better and happier woman than she is.-All inc Year Round :.

THE CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.

 The sweetest sounds In the city wide Arc those when the children shout and call m tho hollow streets at eventide, When the mellow western shadows fall.
 They run and they jump.
 They tumble and bump, In the sounding streets in the evening time. Many time have tripped over Tot. And broken my shins over Jacks and Jims; But went on my way and needed 1t not, For the laugh of a child Is the sweetest of hymns;
 They scream and they shout.
 And they scamper about, h the joyous streets in the evening time. But growlers that Rrowl and bachelors old, Cry out at the game and object to the din; They snarl and complain. they croak and they scold, At the child who plays in the street-it's sin.
 Let them tumble and leap
 Like wee, wee sheep. In the sounding streets of the evening time.

1t must be said this is certainly not
the average experience of writer's.

A SACRIFICIAL OFFERING.

81 wouldn't have believed it, if any
one had told me! I knew she was fool
ish enough over the child, but the idea
of throwing away her chances in that
manner! it's the act of a mad woman,
and nothing else-why, the child's
fortune was as good as made; for mad
ame's always better than her words.
1t isn't many she takes fancy to,
but when she does-there, I'm past
all patience, and that's all about it."
Mrs. Stocker sat down and famed
herself; for her righteous indignation
had thrown her into violent heat.

is free-spoken and hearty, and wears
velvet and di'monds, that she isn't as

A Method Of Vengeance as Peculiar
as 1t Was Deadly.
InHayti and Martinique the venom
of the terrible indigenous to those
islands, the formidable fer de lance,
has often been employed by the ne
groes in disposing OF their enemies. A
horrible but well authen ticated in
stance of negro ingenuity and malevo-
lence is told in Martinique. Ahuge ne
gro, recently imported from Guinea
coast, had been whipped by the order
OF his master, one OF the great planter
princes of the island while it was un-
der French rule. The victim made no
complaint, but meditated revenge.
By long search he found the lair OF a
pair OF serpents in the garden ada
cent to the house. Watching his OPP
portunity he killed one and dragged
its body to the house through win
dow that was always open and into
the bedroom Of the beautiful daughter
of the planter. He dragged it to the
bed, lifted the coverings and coiled the
reptile on the sheet. When this was
done he carried the dead snake away
and cast it into an adjacent stream.
AS night approached the serpent s
mate followed the trail, crept through
the open window and to the bed ofthe
planters daughter. The latter, half
awake, made a motion to brush away
the intruder. Instantly the fangs were.

DRAUGHTsMAN,s DILEMMA.
1t Was Only Solved When He Had
Froze the Other Ear.

1t Was Only Solved When He Had
Froze the Other Ear.
In the office of prominent archi-
tect in Chicago one OF the draughtsmen
is a young man who has lately come
here from Troy, N. Y. He lives at q
pension on Wabash Avenue. The
other evening, during the recent cold
snap, he had occasion to escort a
young lady to her home on Thirty
fifth Street, and, as affairs with them
had reached the stage whereit is pleas
ant to be alone together, they walked.
The girl was we'll bundled up, but the
young man was not dressed for ex-
tremely cold weather, and when they
reached their destination he found
that his left ear was frozen stiff. The
next day he appeared at the Office
with his ear poulticed and bandaged.
His employer noticed his condition
and remarked upon theextraordinary
devotion to duty he displayed. The
young man was greatly pleased, and
Tor five minutes quite forgot the pain

Or so he found that his head was IT.
resistibly pulled sideways by the weight
of the bandage, and that it was I'M
possible to keep it squarely on his
shoulders. But he went on with his
work.
Next morning his employer was any
thing but gracious and informed him
that all of the previous days labor
would have to be done over again,
for the lines were out of drawing and
the houses leaned perceptibly to the
northwest. The young man attempt
ed to draw the front elevation OF
house that wouldn't look as if it had
been drinking, but found that he
could not draw a perpendicular line
and that the horizontal line would
not lie flat. He couldn't account for
this phenomenon until one OF his
fellows suggested that the bandage on
his left ear which pulled his head
over toward his left shoulder, was the
cause of it. The young man thought
the explanation plausible. What did
he do? Did he lie off until his ear got
well? No. That evening he called
upon the young lady, induced her to
60 out for a walk, and left his right
ear exposed to the chilling blast.
When he reached home he found that
he had accomplished his purpose, and
that the other ear WAS frozen as hard
as a rock. After that he had no
difficulty with his houses.-Chicago

Toys That We're Once Postage
Stamps,
ALUM AND AMMONIA IN OUR BREAD.

Seven little red Indians and five
blue Quakers were exposed for sale re-
Gently among other curiosities on a
stand near the city Post Office. There
were ALSO three green Africans, whose
nationality was proclaimed by the
banjos they held. No explanation
was given as to why this trio was of
the color mentioned, though their
complexion was supposed to have
been affected by overindulgence in the
surreptitious moonlight watermelon.
One could buy any one of the small
statuettes for 10 cents, notwithstand-
ing the paper plasters they bore stat
ing their ESTIMATED value at from
$5Oto 5000 EACH" The secret oft was
that they were made out of macerated
postage stamps. The Quakers were of
l-cent stamps, the Indians 2-cent
ones, and the colored persons OF 10
cent denomination. It was learned by
the Star writer, upon investigation,
that the material OF which they were
composed had been purchased at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

lishment one day in each week to de-
stroy his spoiled but unused stamps.

SHELBY, N. c., Aug. ia suit has
been entered in the superior court of
this county against the Western Union
Telegraph company by Col. John c.
Upton, of Kings Mountain. The amount
of damages claimed is $4,000. The
complaint recites that on September 4,
1888, at p. NJ, while plaintiff was res
ident of Salisbury, he filed a telegram ad-
dressed to Col. w. H. Michael, Of Lin
colnton, announcing the death of Mrs.
Upton and telling Michael to complete
arrangements for her burial at Lincoln
ton When plaintiff arrived at Lincoln
ton next day about noon he found the
telegram had not been delivered to Col.
Michael.
The operator at that place stated he
had received the telegram on the even
ing it was filed and sent it up town by a
drayman. The drayman gave it to lit
tie boy TO deliver and the latter lost it.
AS consequence no arrangements had
been made and the body had to lie in
church overnight. For neglect and injury
to his feelings the plaintiff sues for the
amount above stated. His attorneys are
