Testing a Trunk.

A slim. faced man with a graveyard
cough was inspecting some trunks in

the place appeared and asked
Looking for trunk, sir p
"Yes."
Here's the best "a trunk ever made,
and pm the only one that sells EN- at

man with O sorrowful shake of his head.
Zone of these trunks wouldn't stand
the journey from here to Poughkespsie.
"What I'll warrant 'em 10 go
around the world. Take hold of one
and bang it about and convince your
self"
"Do you give me leave to wrassle
with one :"
"Of course | do ! fake right hold"
The man with the grave yard cough
drew in full breath, called out "Wa-

passengers, and then reached for the
trunk
"Ripw went one Of the handles

"If I was you," she said, "rd sit

down"
| Soon. after the horse was provided
for. they had tea; it put moro life into
the woman, and she told John that she
had come to Turkey creek canyon to
take up claim. She had not been
afraid to travel alone, but the storm had
caught her, and, thanks to him, she was
safe. She said she was New Eng.
lander, but not from Maine. She was
rather reticent about herself.
When the clock struck twelve both
started and blushed. It was "sparking
time in New England, and Christmas
morning at that.
At first both looked grave Then
they laughed. "It's no use talking of

Christmas morning broke. The s,orm

heavens and the sky was blue as il Il
was June. They stood on the door

Then they went into the house. John
sat on the bed and whitfield the woman
had insisted on getting breakfast. The
exercise flushed her cheeks, and John
stole furtive and admiring glances at
her. She was vaguely like somebody
he had seen before.
They sat down, one on each side of

then she leaned her head on her hand.

Then he crossed quickly to her and
lifted her up in bis arms, trembling the
while as if palsy-stricken.
"Why, Dorothy Dotty !" he said.
"they told me you had died of fever in
the marshes--that was long ago-more
than twenty years. Have you come
back to life again, Dotty, like them
folks in the Bible, and was it true that

Then Dorothy Waters broke down,
and was comforted like child, and
these two old lovers sobbed out their
hearts joy in that lonely cabin on Christ
mas morning.
1t is needless to relate how John and
Dotty had been lovers from childhood;
how evil tongues had lied to him on his
return from war, and bis simple heart
believed them. Why tell of the long
anguish these two had suffered in that
score of years. The world knows these
stories too we'll
1t needed no explanation to make
John understand that Dorothy had come
IN purpose to seek him. The story of

of none of the great editors. either
dead or living, are there more character
istic stories told than of Horace Greeley.
His intirmity Of temper and eccentricity
Of dress and manner, his scrawling hand
writing, and picturesque profanity when
his peppery temper was aroused, all con-
trihuted to make him one of those emf
nently human characters who are ever
interesting.
One day during reconstruction times,
when Greeley. through the Tribune, was
urging ON the cause of the colored man,
insisting that he should have the right TO
vote, sit on juries, hold office, and to
perform all and singular the functions of
full fledged and untrammeled American
citizenship. there came TO him in his
sanctum a negro in holiday attire. He
was a dandy, or, as would be said now
adays, a dude. He was arrayed in
clothes of fashionable cut, a silk hat
overtopped the short black curls about
his cranium, and he wore gloves and
toted cane.
As he entered. the great editor was
busy upon an editorial. Now, it was
thoroughly understood about the Tribune
office that when Mr.. Greeley was writ
ing he was ON no account to be disturbed.
On this particular occasion he was in the
throes of composition. His face was
bent low over his desk, and his hand
flew rapidly over the paper from left TO
right. The colored visitor, ignorant of
all this, marched straight in and sat
down in a chair alongside the editorial
desk
Il called, Mistah Greeley, to ask yo' to
write an editorial urging the colored peo-
Pile to study the sciences.
The editorial face bent little closer to
the desk, the hand bearing the pen flew
yet faster across the paper. After wait
ing minute for an answer and none
coming, the colored man, regardless of
the demonstrating frowns of the others
in the room, again said, in louder, and
yet more pompous tones:
II called, Mistah Greeley, TO ask yo',
sab, to write an editorial urging upon the
colored men the study of the sciences,
sab. y
Still no answer. Only the face bowed
closer over the desk, and the hand flying
faster over the paper. Again the POM
pous colored man, impatient for an an
swer, lifted up his voice in still louderand
more insistent tones:
: / called, Aistah Greeley, to ask yo',
sab, to write an editorial, sab, urging
upon the colored people the importance,
sab, of studying the sciences.
Without looking up, the great editor
replied:
damn you, get out Go away. Go
to hell. Go anywhere. Go to New Jer-
sey and raise potatoes. Go"
But as the shrill voice smote the air the
colored man started. AS the voice,
shrill treble, fairly rose to shrek, the
colored man rose and fed. Whether he
went TO New Jersey OF to any of the
other places named, is lost to history, but
certain it is the Tribune was never again
adorned with his presence.

@My family" said a prominent club
man, has lost about a quarter of a mill
ion dollars, believe, as the result of the
incorporate habits Of one man-no less a
man than the great Daniel Webster him
self. The United States Government has
just ordered the payment of French
spoliation claims amounting to 81 500, 900,
and $3,500,000 additional has been
scheduled for payment later. The money
was originally paid TO the United States
by the French Government to reimburse
the owners of certain American vessels
that had been seized by Napoleon. The
United States Government used this
money in making the Louisiana purchase
Now the Government is paying the claims
of the descendants of the original vessel
owners. One of my ancestors owned five
vessels that were seized and his claim
was placed in the hands of Daniel
Webster. The immortal Daniel Webster
looked over all the papers, and seeing
that the claim was entirely valid, under
took to secure its payment by Congress.
But at that time the United States was
not so careful of its financial standing as
it now is, and the eloquence of the great
orator proved unayailing. One day after
vain attempt to secure favorable action
upon the claim. Mr. Webster went to his
room, filed up with liberal potations Of
old rye, and under the exhilarating In
fuences of the same threw all the papers
of the case into an open CRATE, swearing
that the United States Government knew
no such words as honor or honesty and
that it would be utterly useless to waste
any more time prosecuting the claim. So
about $3.50, 900 worth of hopes went up
Mr.. Webster's chimney in plain black
smoke. Now these French spoliation
claims are being paid off dollar for dollar.
Whenever think of the terrible effect Of
Daniels costly debauch feel like drown
ing the memory Of it in some way. VIII

An italian way.

A swarthy Italian boarded Third

York. In making change the conductor
dropped a nickel on the wooden graf
ing covering the floor Of the car. The
Italian got down on his hands and knees
TO find it, and two young men from the
lth ward began to make fun at his
expense. They called him Dago and
fairly buried him beneath vulgar epi-
thets. He paid no attention to them,
but kept on fishing for the coin. Un-
able to get at it with his fingers, he
reached for his hip pocket and produced
0 murderous looking knife nearly foot
long He felt of its keen edge glancing
meanwhile at his tormentors. BE raised
himself to a partially upright position
and the 4th ward youths moved toward
the door. Then, with smile upon his
face, the Italian resumed his kneeling
position and began fishing for the nickel
with the point Of the knife. AS he held
The piece aloft on tne point OF the gIisten-
ing blade the two young men arose and
