The shrewd Employe Repays His Master for
Attempting to Trick Him
From the Etoile Beige.
MISSIONER, like many other celebrities, had
q passion for gardening. His gardener, an ac-
complished botanist, knew to perfection the
seeds OF every plant, and Meissonier had often
tried in vain to throw him off his guard.
''This time I've got him, " the artist re embarked
to party Of friends at the dinner table, and
showed them . small packet containing the
dried roe Of herring. He sent for the gar
dener.
''Do you know this seed2" Meissonier in.

The gardener carefully scrutinized the
grains. why not?" he said at last "They
are the seeds of the polpus Auscimus, very
rare tropical plant"
How long will they be in coming up?" Meis.
sonier asked, with q chuckle of suppressed ex-
ultation.
about fortnight" was the reply.
Two weeks later the guests were again as
sembled at Meissonler's table and after dinner
the gardener was announced.
"Meissonier;" the man said, "the seed has
just come up"
"Ah you surprise me" the artist exclaimed,
as he rose and led the way into the garden to
examine the botanical phenomenon.
The gardener lifted glass shade and dis
closed to view a small bed with three rows of
picked herrings heads peeping out of the
earth. Everybody laughed. Meissonier dis
missed the gardener on the spot, but took him
on again the next day.

A BLAINE BOOM.

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
YoUSGsrowS, OHIO. August 10-There In a
strong Blaine element in this section that has
never faltered in its fealty to the man from
Maine since the Blaine and Logan CAM
paign. Judge L. W. King of the republican
state executive committee was asked tonight
as to Ohios choice for the presidency and said:
blaine, without any question. There are but
two contingencies that can prevent his nomina-
ton and triumphant election. One is q positive.
unequivocal assertion by him that he is not a
candidate, and would positively decline the
nomination, and the other is that his state of
health might prevent his accepting the leader
ship. In my judgment neither contingency
will arise. 1t Is not necessary for Mr. Blaine
to announce TO his friends that he is a caudi
date. His friends, and they are legion in every
state, have done that, and are determined to
place him where the greatest American citizen
should be, in the presidential chair. Within
the past month 1 have received many letters
from prominent republicans in all parts of the
country, all breathing Blaine sentimental"
"Will Harrison be a candidate?''
''No, think not. In a short time he will re-

reliable, that ne can't carry Indiana, and tina,
he will be firmly convinced that the wise course
is for him to withdraw and support Blaine. in.
stead Of trying to secure q second nomination

be conveyed to Mr.. Harrison in a manner that
he can't doubt its genuineness and the course
he should pursue. Blaine can carry Indiana

not quenched in an instant nor in an hour and
when darkness fell they were still drinking.
When the homeward start Was made there was
no one in Q fit condition to row the boat and IL
was not long before one Of them, in attempting
to wrest an oar from another Of the party, went
oSerposra. Instead OF trying to catch the boat,
which had been pushed some distance from
him, he struck out for the muddy shore, and
when after considerable work he had reached

yelled for the boat, which finally was brought
near him, and in this miserable besmeared con-

II Street EnternriaA.

One of the most substantial business i'm
provements now nearing completion in the
heart Of the city is the large and handsome
six-story building northwest corner of F and
18th streets, erected by Mr.. Henry Strong and
by him leased for long term to Mr.. E. P.
Merit, the well-known and successful apothe-
cary, who has conducted business for the past
five years on the corner diagonally opposite.
This improvement is all that the best OF
architectural plans, material and skilled work
manship can make, and it is recognized not
only as a most substantial and handsome
building, but peculiarly fitted for the purposes
for which it will be used. The move in con-
temptation by Mr.. MertZ is suggestion and
commentary on the enterprise now pervading
not only street. but almost our entire city.
Dealers find their business growing to such an
extent that they must either enlarge or move
into new quarters. And, generally speaking,
a removal into new and convsnient quarters is
about the only solution of the problem. Such
was Mr.. Merits experience; his business had
to find larger accommodations, and he will 10.
cate at the new place as soon as it is finished.
The building will prove handsome addition
to the many fine business improvements now
making, or in contemplation, in that section.
And when finished it will be difficult to find q
finer drug store south Of New York, if indeed
in the United States. 1t will, indeed, be q
credit to all concerned, and especially to the
energy uHu dCtlNlty VI tue ltbSte. Inc main
room will be finished in polished Honduras
mahogany, the gas fittings and electric light
fixtures are to be of a novel and appropriate
design, and every appointment OF style and use
will be of the most modern kind. Around the
main room will be gallery, in which will be
located aprescription department for a force
'of five prescription clerks. In the front of the
main room the druggist sundry department
will be located, and in the rear the drug branch
will be conducted. The second story will be
for the wholesale branch. A splendid base.
ment, moisture proof and finished in hardwood
wainscoting. gives storage for original pack.
ages, essential oils, perfumery stock, sponge
bales, &c. The laboratory will be fitted out with
the newest and best of ali requisites and devices
for the purposes of manufacturing the pharma.
ceutical and specially productions of the bust
ness, and under skilled supervision.
In fact, as an evidence of the enterprise of +
street, the building under construction is one
indication of the trend of trade and Of the
prosperity Of the wide-awake merchants and
dealers not only Of that section particularly,
but Of our entire city.

From the Detroit Free Press
He was a tall. thin. solemn man in q long

He did not approach the bar immediately. but
stood about ten feet off and fastened his gaze

gently washing and drying the glasses.
"How long have you been engaged in this

About three years." answered the bar
keeper.
Three years behind the bar mixing
drinks, eh? Going to make it a life business2"
He seemed to be looking the young man
through and through.
II think SO, sir, said the bartender, blushing
slightly.

told II will appear that he has LEFT a most ex-
emplary record in all phases Of his career. He
was not a sensational President. but he was q
Judicious and patriotic one, and the era Of his
administration was the most important sin

face toward the future, and has steadily nd
yanced in prosperity from that time forward.
An important aid to her TO such an end was the
sound policy established by President Hayes.
