Champion stinginess.

One of the worst stories of extreme
parsimony on record comes from Union
town. A young man from that place
in the city yesterday said that some
time ago he wrote to wealthy citizen
of Green county who owned land in
Uniontown, asking him for his price on
a lot. In few days he received reply
in curious looking envelope He ex-
amined it carefully and found that the
envelope was turned inside out. Max
ing a closer inspection he discovered
that it was the one he had sent the
Green county man. Since then lie has
had several of his envelopes returned in
the same way. The Green county citi-
zen was too stingy to buy envelopes.

DEFENDED TIE ADMIRAL.
A Flagship Chaplain Who Began Divine
Service Before the Autocrat,s Arrival.

A Flagship Chaplain who Began Divine
Service Before the Autocrat's Arrival.
There is good story and most
characteristic one which a writer in
Kate Fields Washington heard the
other day of the late Admiral Colds
borough 1t is not in any way an
orthodox utterance, but, to be perfectly
truthful, the admiral made no preten-
sions to being orthodox in matters,
either sacred or profare, as the incident
will bear witness. 1t was during trip
to the Mediterranean when the admiral
chaplain, a jealous young man, pre-
ferred request to hold services on board
the flagship on Sunday mornings.
Though it was generally understood
that attendance upon divine service was
not included in the admiraIs plan of
action he nevertheless gave consent that
every Sunday the men should be piped
up. The first Sunday after this permits
sion had been given, the young chap
lain's trepidation gave place to supreme
satisfaction when he noted that with
the exception of the admiral the officers
and men of the feet were assembled in
full force. After waiting for few mo-
merits for the admiral, who failed to
appe ar, the chaplain opened the serv-
ices in regulation manner: The Lord
is in his holy temple; let all the earth
keep silence before him" As the voice
rang out in the opening words the adj
miral walked on deck, and, though his
face betokened a storm, he took Ia seat
in silence and so remained until the
congregation had been dismissed. Then
he rose, and striding over to the chap
lain, said: Young man, want you to
understand in future that the Lord is
not in this holy temple until 1, Admiral
Goldsborough, am on deck"

A LIVING TARGET,
The Strange Manner in Which Negro
Earns His Living.

The Strange Manner in Which a Negro
Earns His Living.
There are all sorts of ways of earning
ones living, but doubt, says writer
in Kate Fields Washington, if one could
find an occupation hedged about with
more danger or calculated to keep the
nerves strung at a higher pitch than
that affording support to son of Ham
at Bethesda park. The courageous ne
gro utilities his good-natured face to
form the disc of sunfower, at which
o certain number of shots can be fired
with the hardest kind of ball for a
stipulated sum. Drawn by the sign,
''Hit the Niger" crowds are attracted
to the place, and people impatiently
wait in line their turn to try their skill,
while the darly-apparen unmoved
by the discomfort of the sport-keeps
up a counter fire of mirth-provoking
banter at the poor success of the pa
irons. The flower is painted on a large
canvas representing a garden scene, be-
hind which the man stands alta distance
of about forty feet from the ball throw
ers. Some degree of protection is
afforded the fellow by wire netting
which he is allowed to pull over his face
as soon as he sees lie bali fly from
PERSONS hand. The SLIGHTEST hesitation
on his part, however, would result in
general smash-up
