DIDN'T WANT ANY SOAP.

A Farmer Who Was On His Guard Against
Swindlers.
"You can either beat q farmer as
slick as grease or you can't beat him at
ALL" said the patent hay-fork man as
we were talking about his adventures
In the rural regions. THAT is, he is
either gullible or oversuspicious. Some
will refuse q good thing and some will
snap at a swindle. l think can illus
trate nv declarations right here, or at
least one of them. The man in the seat
over there is farmer"
II should say So"
"And he's one of the sort who sus-
poets every stranger. Watch me try
him."
He took q cake of toilet soap from his
sachel, and going over to the farmer
saluted him in q pleasant manner, and
added:
Il have a new make Of soap here
which am introducing to the public.
It is worth fifteen cents a cake, but I
make the price only five."
Don't want it." was the gruff reply.
'With every cake goes q five dollar
greenback. gold bracelet, the deed of
q town lot in Kansas, . pocket knife, q
pair of eyeglasses, and . solid gold
ring"
Don't want 'cm siry'
'As want your opinion of the soap ]
will give it to you"
II won't take it!''
'But, sir, in order to introduce il into
your ncighborhood will give you one
hundred cakes free, and At the same
time leave five watches and five deeds
to town lots"
''Look-a-herey' shouted the farmer as
he jumped up and spat on his hands.
''You 60 away from me or I'll mash
you! I'm on IN your tricks, old man,
and II you think you have picked up
hayseed, you are barking mp the wrong
tree"
And the hay-fork man had to move
lively to escape the blow leveled at hin
nose.-N. Y. Sun.

Gently left that institution.
AT Girard College, in PhilAdelphia,
there are now 1850 pupils who are

this purpose.
The American Congregational Union
reports receipts for the past year OF
s155. $50, of which $40, 800 came from in
dividuals and churches. This has been
the most successful year In the history
of the organization.
The latest statistics show that the
suicide mania is spreading in Germany
to such an extent that even the chill
dren take their lives. During the six
years ending with 1883, two hundred
and eighty-nine school-children COM
mitted suicide. Many Of these suicides
occurred in the elementary schools and
were prompted by fear of punishment
If any debt ought to be paid, " says
the Chief Justice (Bleckley) Of Georgia,
''it is one contracted for the health Of
souls" and he therefore orders . Bap-
tist church in that State sold to pay the
back salary of the preacher, remarking
in passing that simple and exact justice
in this relation is ''the hog and hominy,
the bacon and beans Of morality, public
and private" The Justice thus reduces
justice to its lowest terms. as it were.
The Bishop OF Carthage is organ
izing q body of monks who will be post

reopen those wells and sink new ones,
and when water has been found will
plant fruit farms. They will gather in

possible, and compel them to give up
stealing slaves. The system is to ex-
tend itself yearly, until very large tracts

been received from volunteers.

The Amber Supply.

The supply of amber is being grad
ually exhausted. It is natural product
formed by the hardening of resinous
gums which exude from trees in low
ground; and, rs IL is the work Of ages
for the formation to reach the proper
state, there is no artificial way of cx-
tending the quantity. However, the
limitations of amber are % excellent that
it will hardly be missed for the orna-
mental purposes for which it has been
chiefly used. The genuine amber is nec-
essary for only two uses: Orientals like
it for their idols, and II II valuable in
certain electrical experiments- Mission
aries may do away with the first Of these
difficulties, but the needs Of science can
not be 50 easily set aside.-Kste Fields

A SATIRE ON rALLEvRANo.

Bono Contemporary Abuse o9 the Freach
Statesman.
Talleyrand during his long and varied
political career was. perhaps, the best
abused man in all Europe. His lame
ness, of which he was extremely sensi.
tive, afforded his enemies . vulnerable
spot 1t which to direct their darts-an
opportunity Of which they meanly took
advantage. There il q story that dur
ing Talleyrand's brief tenure of Office
under the Directory, Rewbell, one OF
the Directors, one day flung an inkstand
1t his head, exclaiming:
Miserable emigve. your intellect il Ne
greatly warped as your foot"
o This incident gave rise to the follow.
ing lines-which were published in the
nti-Jacobin:
where At the bloodssained board expert hs
plies,
The lame artincer Of fraads and lies;
Doomed the coarse edge OF Rewbell's icsts
10 stand the playful buffet. and to hear
The frequent inkstand whixxinx by his ear;
while all the flve Directors laugh to see
The limping priest % deft at his new min.
istry.
But Talleyrand had his revenge. He
lived to aid in the overthrow Of the Di-
rectory, rs he had aided in the over
throw Of governments that had preceded
Il, and was destined to aid in the over
throw Of other governments which were
to come.
Louis XVIII. oomplimenting Talley-
rand one day upon his abilities, asked
him how he had contrived first to over
turn the Directory, and finally Bonn
parte. The willy diplomat replied, with
cbsrming simplicity: Really, sire,
have had nothing 70 do with this. There
b something inexplicsble sbout me
which brings 1lluek- on the govern
ments that neglect me."-Century. l

A LONE hlCHWAYMAN,
Who Took Only What He Needed
For Pressing Want.

Throw up your hands, Ssre the
words that greeted horseman as he
turned a sharp curve on the upper
grade leading into Austin, ia the
Spring of 1868. Hand out your
purse was the next command, and he
handed it out to the lone hshwayman
who had him covered with vllainous
looking revolver. The highwayman
was not masked, was perfectly cool
and seemed in no hurry. Opening the
purse which contained a fair supply
OF lucre, he took out one dollar, and
handing the purse and its contents
back to the traveller, said move on
The travslor did SO without delay and
wondered if that was the man who
kept tho toll-gate. A few minutes ride
took him into Austin and after sta
bling his horse he won't into M&ioni's
rotis.eIie and ordered his breakfast.
While waiting for it and reading the
paper, he was aware of some one TAX.
ing seat opposite 10 him, and when
breakfast was served he laid aside ths
paper aud began eating, Locking up,
his surprise was quite pronounced, TO
discover in his vis.a-vis the lone high
wayman, just commencing his break
fast also. Neither one spoke, and each
one lelsurely finished his breakfast,
and stepped to the counter about the
same time to settle The hishwayman
lad down In payment the same dollar
that he had extracted from the ethsr's
purse on the grade. The meal was
seventy five cents, and for the change
he took cigar, lighted it and stepped
out on the sidewalk. The traveller,
surprised at his GOODNESS, accosted him
and said, Excuse nae, but haven't we
met before, this morning." And the
highwsyman answered, "Yes We
have Still more surprised at his
GOODNESS, the traveller said, "Wsll, will
you please explain the liberty you
took with mes" Certainly" WAS the
reply" l am broke, and can't get work,
and id if I'll beg" The explana-
ton seemed sincere, and At least was
SO convincing, that the traveller open
ed his purse again, gave him IS, and
said, Take that to eat on, and when
it's gone, if you have not found work,
come to me and get more" He took
it with polite thanks, hunted work, Sc
cured it, and in time became substan-
tial citizen of Austin, and to this day,
the man he robbed has never divulged
the name of the daring highwayman,
and the old residents there would
acknowledge that the trait displayed
was characteristic of the man, if his
name was given Reno Gazette.
