Mr. HIPS assets there many rumors, but definite
information at this writing. Some even so Far as

more than five cents on dollar. The mercantile

As If Nothing Had Happened.

A few years after the war gentleman
had occasion to visit Richmond with his
family, and living at tine time in the
county of Patrick, fifty miles from any
railroad station, very few of the darkies
in that county had ever seen railroad
train. A nurse was necessary part of
the family equipage, and he had secured
the services of a coal black specimen,
about 10 years of age, who was as quick
witted as usual, but was as veritab,e a
Topsy as ever "growed." The party took
the train at the nearest station. and after
few hours run a broken rail threw the
train off the track. Some OF the cars
made revolution down an embankment,
and some were lodged on its incline at an
angle of forty-hve degrees. Great con-
sternation, of course, ensued; the men
were shouting and the women and chill
dren screaming. After great difficulty
our party scrambled out of the coach on
the steep incline of the embankment.
Finding no bones broken with wife or lit
tie one, the writer, who was surprised at
the placid, undisturbed appearance of the
nurse. who. holding the baby in her arms,
looked upon the scene as if nothing had
happened. said:
fMilly, were you much frightened"
mo, sab she said; Il thought it had
to stop that way. '-Harper's Magazine.

following week. When the time came
our team. accompanied by half dozen
Chicago drummers, ran over to Mar
shalltown to have some fun with the
country team.
AS soon as we got to the hotel the
Chicago drummers began to look
around for some bets on the game.
Somewhat to their surprise. they had
no trouble to find numerous men and
citizens of Marshalltown ready to back
their club to odds The favorite bet
was even money that We would
not beat the home team two TO one.
Ross Barnes. who was playing second
base for us, succeeded in getting bet
of $50 against 500 that we would beat
the Marshalltown team to !.
BY the time the game began our
players and the Chicago drummers had
covered about all the spare money
there was in The town, and excitement
ran high. business was practically
suspended for the afternoon, and
everybody went out to the ball ground
to see the great contest.
One-third of the home nine was COM
posed of the Ansons. The old man
played first base. Adrain played third

One of the Chicago drummers banter
;nglv offered to bet 500 to $50 that we
would beat the Marshalltown team
three to one in the second game. This
so excited tbs d man that he began
to hustle AFRO md trying to get together
the necessary 80. He could, however,
raise only $50 in cash. After a con
ference with his two sons MIR. Arson
offered the $40 cash and his family cow
worth $40 more against the drummer S
500. From pure mischief the drum
mer accepted and the bet was duly
made.
Well, we beat the Arson team three
TO one and more. There was gloom in
Marshalltown after that game so thick
one could almost feel it. Our party
had about all the cash there was in the
city, and the drummer was the owner
of the Arson family COW. While we

A famous musician was spending .
short holiday in the country. On the
Sunday he went to the parish church and
asked the village organist if he would
kindly allow him to play while the people
were going out Consent was readily
given. But such wonderful and beautiful
music did the accomplished stranger
bring out of the old fashioned organ that
everybody kept their seats to enjoy it..
This vexed the ordinary player and he
rudely pushed the visitor aside, saying.
THAT kind of playing will never get the
people out; will show you how 70 dc
it," So saying, he took his place and be
gan droning away in his usual style
Speedily the congregation rose from their
pews and fled. "There. cried he, with q
self sati sled smile. that is the way &c

Festival of the "Glutton Mass"

1t is fortunate that some rules in rela-
ton to repletion are no longer observed.
One which was noticed among the Hurons
and Canadian Algonkins by the early
French missionaries. and styled lie festin
q manager tout, consisted in the religious
obligation, sometimes attended with loss
Of life, of the commandments to eat up
every particle which was set before them.
A festival, somewhat Of the same nature,
was called the ''glutton mass, celebrated
In England during. if not after, the reign
of Henry ". a less dangerous, because
regulated, term OF repletion was preva-
lent in India, according TO Brahman ira
dition, in which the invites, before COM
meneing the carouse, bound themselves
around the abdomen with band OF
straw; and their modified feat Was, not to
eat indefinitely until all had been de-
voured, but only until the straw bands
should burst There is no survival of
this custom except in the exaggerated
hospitality, generally rustic, in which the
host persists in petitions that the guests
should continue to eat, without reference
to their apparent wishes. Modern ETH
quette shows marked improvement in
never suggesting either selection or guam

That was enough for the drummer.
He had no use for the Arson COW and
he was perfectly willing to leave the
animal in Marshalitown provided he
could get ont alive himself. We slipped
him out through the kitchen to an al
ley, whence he sneaked on TO the de-
pot and got himself slowed away in the
baggage car. When we went to the
train we took the mans baggage with
ms. Mr.. Arson and his boys followed
us, anxious TO get sight of the man
who owned their cow. But the drum
mer escaped and the COW remained in
the Arson family.

for fortnight at time. Every tif-
tenth day, however, he rode down the

twenty miles away, and reveled in all
the savory dishes the iunkeeper could
