One Msy of Getting a Living.


Have you eva met one of those "genials"
who are so careless as to always take the
change that belongs TO you?
There are several of them in New York.
You can find one any day along Broadway.
An Englishman who came over recently
ran afoul of one last week, very much to
his sorrow. 1t so happens that this Eng
lishman is of very good family. Though
his people are quite wealthy and he has al
ways been used to the Injuries of life and
the niceties of refined society, he struck a
streak of hard luck. He had got down to
his last bill, which was a two dollar scrip
At this stage of the affair he met the
genial" who is supposed to be fairly pros
porous and whom the Englishman had met
before in London.
Regardless of his limited finances the Eng
ishman, through force of habit, promptly
invited the genial into the Fifth Avenue
hotel. The genial accepted condescend-
ingly.
The Englishman threw down the two
dollar bill, the change was brought, the
genial in the most absentminded way
imaginable, gathered it up and put it in
his pocket. Then they walked.
OF course the Englishman thought it a
mistake and was too well bred to mention
it. AS he had not another cent to his name
he had to walk homeland he was living in
Sixty-sixth street.
The next day some money arrived, and
he told the story in down town cafe.
"Mistake" exclaimed one of the party
''Nonsensel / know a dozen men he has
done that to. 1t is the biggest source of
income he has got"

The Death of Lincoln.

The first floor of the house where Mr..
Lincoln was carried was composed of three
rooms, opening on the same corridor 1t
was in the third, small room, that the
dying man lay.
His face, lighted by gas jet, under which
the bed had been moved, was pale and livid.
His body had already the rigidity of death
At intervals only the still audible sound of
his breathing could be family heard, and at
intervals again it would be lost entirely.
The surgeons did not entertain hope that
he might recover a moments conscious
ness. Judge William T. Otto, thirty
years friend of Mr.. Lincoln, was standing
at the bedside holding his hand; around
the bed stood also the attorney general,
Mr.. Speed, and the Rev. Mr.. Quincy, pas
tor of the church Mr.. Lincoln usually at
tended.
Leaning against the wall stood Mr. Stan
ton, who gazed now and then at the dying
mans face, and VINO seemed overwhelmed
with emotion. From time to time he wrote
kilograms or gave the orders which, in the
midst of the crisis, assured the preservation
of peace. The remaining members of the
cabinet and several senators and generals
were pacing up and down the corridor
Thus the night passed on. At last, toward
z o'clock in the morning, the surgeon an
nounced that death was at hand, and at
go the pulse ceased beating.
Every one present seemed to emerge from
the stupor in which the hours of night had
been spent. Mr.. Stanton approached the
bed, closed Mr.. Lincoln's eyes, and, draw
ing the sheet over the dead mans head, ut
tered these words in a very low voice. He
is man for the ages. "-Scribner's

The Devils Nut.

A remarkable curiosity is nut which
grows at Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
Major Davis, who is just now holding down
Colonel BARRIERS chair as adjutant general
In the department of Dakota, was sitting
In his easy chair contemplating a half
dozen of the meats of these nuts, which had
just been sent north by an officer of the
regular army who is now in Mexico.
The meats were dancing about in a very
mysterious way, and the reporter and sew
eral Others who were watching the strange
performance were completely mystifed.
I'll not tell you what is the matter with
those meats" said the major I'm not
going to give away my trick. When man
learns good sleight of hand performance
is he going to give it away for nothing:
guess not"
The nuts continued to dance and Lieu
tenant Sturgis, who was as much in The
dark as the reporter, began a critical exam
nation OF the crazy objects supposed to he
inanimate.
''Oh, yes, think have the trick said
the lieutenant There is something alive
in these meats. There is a strange throb-
bing in them
The reporter picked up one of the meats,
and surely enough, there was a very peoa-
liar throbbiag sensation in it.
The major was so thoroughly amused by
this time that he could not longer with
hold the secret. 1t seems that a worm j.
born on the inside Of the meat OF this nat
and that it lives there for some weeks Sad
dies without seeing the light of day. The
worm eats ont the inside of the meat, then
becomes FESTIVE and moves about a great
deal. 1t is in this period that the nuts be
come apparently animate.-St. Paul Pho
