TOO. MUCH RED TAPE.

why Men Dislike to Purchase Goods st
Big Dry-Goods Stores.
If ever man so far forgets himself
as to make a purchase in great dry
goods store he makes a resolution on
the spot which ever leads him to pat
ronize little stores where he pays twice
as much for an article but has it handed
to him straight over the counter when
he has bought it and is able to go di-
rectly out with it.
Here is Il little sample experience
In big lry-goods store, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Yesterday man.
having lost button off his coat, went
into a store wn1ch lay on his way to buy
another button to replace it. A sylph~
like young lady Of seventeen summers
waited on hi7n, somewhat absent-mind-
eddy, but produced presently the right
button. The price of it was five cents.
The man took a nickel from his pocket
and handed it to the young lady.
Think you that the transaction hav-
ing thus been completed, the man could
take the button which he had paid for,
slip it into his waistcoat pocket and go
his way? Certainly not. The young
lady must first make duplicate record
of the transaction upon certain COM
plicated blanks. One OF these records,
together with the button, goes to
another young lady not far away, who
does them up in little parcel;. but the
other record, with the nickel, must
make long journey through a pne1-
matte tube or leash railway to a
distant cashiers desk, and the parcel
maker may not on peril of her life de-
liver the button to the purchaser until
the cashier has duly inspected the nickel
and sent back through the same inter-
minable pneumatic tube a stamped
record showing that the nickel has been
received.
Now yesterday, in the case under
consideration. this interesting hum-a-
diddle occupied exactly ten minutes by
the watch during all of which time the
man, who had paid exactly the right
change for his button, writhed vainly
on his stool. All this, Of course, was
for the supposed benefit of the house
and wholly at the loss of the customer,
not less than twenty cents worth of
whose time was sacrificed to this beau
tful system

Captain and His Wife.

The Wonderful Performance of Sea
Captain and His Wife.
News comes from Honolulu that ship
ping men in that port were recently
surprised to see the brig G. H. Douglass,
supposed to have been lost on a coral
reef at B1taritari, sail into port with
master and crew IN the last stage OF ex-
haustion from overwork and hunger.
Capt. Holland, the master at the time
Of the wreck, sold the vessel for five
hundred dollars to E. D. Reid, master
Of the trading schooner Reid. He got
the vessel off the reef, patched up the
bottom and then started with her for
Honolulu. His voyage was remarka-
Die. He had to make it without chro-
nometer Or log, and with broken
pumps. The vessel was leaking badly.
Besides this, half of the provisions were
lost, and for the last four days before
reaching Honolulu Capt. Reid and his
wife went without food. They did no
manual labor and gave their shore to
the men working the pumps.
The voyage lasted thirty-two days.
During this time the men were at the
pumps day and night. The water rose
six and half inches an hour, and this
increased at the latter end of the trip,
when the men were weakest and could
barely keep the vessel from becoming
water-logged. Capt. Reid was nearly
dead from hunger and exposure, but he
brought the supposed wrecked vessel
into port The vessel was examined
II Honolulu, and was pronounced only
stiehtly injured. 81

E,isking His Life to Bury the Corpse OF
an Enemy.
After the repulse of one of the furious
assaults at Acre, says a writer in Good
Words. the dead body of French Of
fcer was left lying in prominent posi-
t;on between the walls and the be-
s;epers' trenches. The body lay there
for a day or two and attracted much at
tention. 1t was spoken about on board
the Tigre, which lay off Acre. and the
matter made an impression difficult to
account for on the simple superstitious
mind of Kelly Only the very smartest
men had been sent ashore to assist in
the defense, and Kelly was not among
these. But one day he begged for and
obtained leave to go on shore. AS soon
as he entered the town he procured
shovel. pic1ax, and coil of rope,
walked straight to the ramparts, and,
declining all offers Of assistance, low
cred himself from an embrasure. AS
Kelly set foot upon the ground, and,
shouldering his tools, walked deliber-
ately toward the dead body a dozen
French muslzets were pointed at him.
One of the enemy's commanders, how
ever, divining the sailors inten-
lions, ordered his men to shoulder
arms. In an instant both sides, as if by
some common impulse, ceased firing,
and Kelly, the object of breath]ess at
tention from friend and foe, stopped be-
side the Frenchman's corpse. He then
coolly and calmly dug a grave, put the
officer into it, covered him up, and TAX
ing from his pocket a small piece OF
board and bit of chalk wrote on the
board: "Here you lie. old Crop" and
put at the head of the grave this rough
and ready memorial. ''Old Crop was
no doubt honest Kelly's rendering of
"Crapaud,'' the French for frog, and
nickname with the sailors for all
''mounseers. This pious duty done,
he shouldered his implements again,
walked back as deliberately as he had
come. and disappeared within the en-
brasure. The firing recommended and
men thirsted once more for another's
blood. Sir Sidney Smith, the very man
to delight in such an adventure, sent
for Kelly and questioned him about it.
The simple-hearted tar could only won
der that others could find anything to
wonder at in his exploit. "You were
alone, were you not?" said Sir Sidney.
"No, was not alone" answered Kelly.
II was told you were," protested the
commodore. ''No, wasn't alone,
was the reply; ''God was with me-
