An Old story ina New Dress.

Two men met in Tombstone the oiher
night who had not seen each oiher IN

ostber for ten minutes they discovered

An Eye Behind.

There is a tradition among the Per-
SLAMS and Jews Of East Palestine that
the old patriarchs and people in general
had three eyes, one in the back part Of
the head, prior 70 the time Moses was
given the Law on the table Of stone. On
that day Moses commanded his follow
ers to turn their faces from Sinai. This
they did, but took care TO uncover the
other eye, which Moses commanded TO
henceforth be closed forever--.S. Louis

A Mean City Lawyer.


We have often heard Of the cute traits
Of the Philadelphia lawyer and Of his
being able to master things that seemed
impossible to his country practitioners,
but we learn Of little incident occurring
a short time ago. in which a Justice Of
the peace not a mile from the court house
learned how very exact a member of the
Philadelphia bar could be. The lawyer
had claim put in his hands for eollec-
ton against a certain man in town to the
amount Of nearly $40 and sent it on TO
the justice TO have him sue the party at
once, enclosing a check for > to defray
the necessary costs.
The justice called on the aforesaid
business man and stated the facts. A
few DAYS passed and the business man
called on the justice and paid him the
claim in full. The justice remitted the
amount 20 the laEyer, and, wisely or un-
wisely for him, stated the money had
been collected without suit and that
he would retain the cheek OF s. for his
trouble Here the lawyer baked and
wrote that unless the check was return
ell at once he would order the district
attorney to bring suit for receiving illegal
fees.
Thejustiee waited ard found the law
yer had realir uritten the district af,or.
ney, and in order 10 accommodate the
city attorney the justice returned the
check, receiving nothing for his time
spent in collecting the money, besides
the waste Of postage. Perhaps this justice
will not trouble hims, If collecting any
bills for this polite gentleman of the
Quaker city in the f1ture.-Cel.fsid Pa.,

Finding People Who Have Nov
ed.


Many persons are surprised that they
cannot procure the address Of some one
who has moved away from his old resi-
dence, and not left the new address with
the ianitor of the building he had occu-
pied, from the postoHice or branch office
situated in the district where he had re-
sided. They 90 10 the postoffice to ask
for such address in good faith, but are
always refused, and there is p stringent
rule against the giving Of such informa-
ton by the postofice authorities.
The idea Of the postoffice people IS
that mans letters and papers are strict
ly confidential, and the outside address
also. 4 letter carrier that gives any in
formation concerning mail matter he
may have in his charge TO any person
except the one to whom the letters are
addressed is liable to dismissal from the
service, and is sure Of suspension or
transfer.
All sorts Of inquiries come into the
postofiiee regarding persons who receive
mail matter Parties in search of debt
ors are the most frequent inquirers
Others are those who have sold goods on
an installmeRt and cannot find the par
ties who have taken them, and then dis
appeared, leaving balance due. Sewing
machine agents ask after those who have
disappeared with machines, not having
paid for them.
There is only one way to find out the
addresses Of parties through the post
office, and that is BY addressing a letter
to the old address Of the person sought
The pOstotice authorities are bound to
Geliver the letter. OF course this is not
available to those in search Of people
against whom they hold claims, but
when an address IS sought by friend
he may be pretty sare that letter will
fnd the person 70 whom it is addressed.

The Rehrfng Sea Cases.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE closest in
curry tailed to elicit any further
information respecting the details
of the agreement reached by the United
States and Great Britain to submit the
Behring sea case to arbitration.
1t is learned, however, the treaty has
not yet received the signatures of the rep
resentatives of the United States and
Great Britain, for, although all the points
tc oe submitted to arbitration have been
agreed upon, the method of arbitration is
still matter open to discussion. This
must be arranged and included in the
terms OF the treaty. 1t is believed by per-
sons in authority this remaining point will
be adjusted before the meeting of the
Senate and that the arbitrators will have
defined the exact rights of the United
States and Great Britain in Behring sea
before the opening of the next sealing sea-
son.
Regarding the decision of the supreme
court in the Sayward case it can be stated
that the administration is awaiting the out
come with equauimity. If the court denies
| the British contentious, the result will be
very gratifying, but if it should take the
other course, and find the Seizure of the
vessel to have been illegal, the administra-
! ton has the satisfaction of pointing to the
| fact that it is in no wise responsible for the
| seizure of the Sayward, which was made
| by an order of its predecessors.
