shouting, Now, my friend, both to-

pice. But at the edge the white stallion
halted suddenly, and the don went over
alone. In midair he shook his fist and
hurled a curse at the friend who had
deserted him at the last minute, and
then and there the great white stallion
turned to stone. There he stands, senior
you can see him plainly now-still
looking over the precipice. 1t is from
him that the cliff and the canyon get
their name.
''And it is said by the superstitious,

to the fire and shuddering slightly
that on the anniversary of old Don
Fernando's death and on Lady Ysabel's
saints day the ghosts of Lady Ysabel
and Jose ride forth ON the plateau, and
that of the old don pursues them riding
the white stallion, which leaves its sta

Startled, looked quickly across the
canyon. The rock which appeared so
very little like white horse seemed to
vanish as though in mist. Then there
was a series of blood curdling shrieks
and curses, and flying along the edge of
the cliff rode three persons on horseback,
and one, behind the others, rode great
white horse.
1t was only moment, and then the
drunken cowboys passed out Of sight,

A gentleman once stopped his gig at
the door of shop. Entering the shop,
he left the dog ON the seat OF the gig.

THE CONVERTED KING.


Once to wicked king drew nigh,
On Ill intent, housing spy,
Who said, 81 know strange old man
Who calls you all that malice can
A cruel tyrant, fred by hate,
Who grinds the poor and bleeds the state"
The king was vexed, and in reply
Declared the slanderer should die.
But when he came before the king
He answered eyes" to everything
The spy had charged. "Look round, said he,
"On all your work of misery.
No subject stirs his lips from fear,
And speaking truth has brought me here"
The king ON finding one so bold,
Confessed to all the truth he told
And promised straightway to amend
And to his subjects be friend,
Then gave to him who dared to die
Honors for his fine bravery.

Breslau's Trick.

Breslau, celebrated juggler, being
at Canterbury with his troop, met
with such bad success that they were
almost starved. He repaired to the
churchwardens and promised to give q
nights takings to the poor if the parish
would pay for hiring room, etc. The
chafitable bait took, the benefit proved
a bumper, and next morning the church.

touch the receipts.

There is little encouragement for
man to be burglar nowadays. When
he has an earnest aspiration to rise to
eminence in the profession, inventive
genius always docs all it can to bother
him. For instance, the vaults of the
subtreasury In San Francisco are fitted
with wires laid between every two rows
of brick, 50 that any attempt to inter-
fere with the cement or the bricks will
disturb an electric circuit and sound a
warning bell. Boston Courier.

And each sweet letter that she wrote
From where, afar the palm blest isles
Are lovelier for her splendid smiles.
do remember even tho AoweS
She sent me in a lonely hour.
And sometimes, when my lonely soul
Heareth in dark Gods thunders roll,
wonder-her sweet worshiper-
If Gods dark storms break over her.
And If they do know my breast
Would bear them all to give her rest.
But, no; the fragrant orange blossoms
Watt through her life their sweet perfumes
And the tall ships, with wind blown sails,
Bring to her songs Of nightingales.
Yet, do they still, where'er they be,
Sing to her one last song of mel

A Few Phrases with which to Break Down

A Few Phrases with Which to Break Down
the Romany Reserve.
The gypsy is generally laxative when
you have broken down the barriers of
reserve For the benefit of the novice l
will, however, remark that policemen
(prastramengrosl and hedgehogs (hotoh-
iwichis) are both good subjects for dis
cussion. The gypsy does not break the
law more often than his neighbors, but
a policeman, as the embodiment Of all
that is orderly and conventional, Is an
tipathetic to him. As for hedgehogs,
they are cooked and eaten by the ROM
any, who are wonderfully clever at
tracking and capturing these very shy
animals. The other day one of my gypsy
friends informed me that as cure for
deafness there was nothing to equal q
little melted hedgehog's fat applied to
the ear.
The following few words and phrases,
spelled as Theoretically as possible, may
be useful to any one paying his first visit
to Romany camp. BY adroitly intro
duoing them into his conversation the
visitor may succeed in avoiding that ap-
pearance of inexperience and greenness
which might tempt his hosts to receive
him as an inquisitive gentle rather
than as a future "Romany Raj"

sold silver service, which was bought
by President Monroe. The shapes Of
these articles are curious and beautiful.
There are two soup tureens with covers.
and these tureens are affixed to large,
oval Snapped, fiat bottom stands, which
spread out beneath them like walters
There are silver cake baskets, silver
gravy boats, solid silver coffee and tea
urns, and there are fine cut glass claret
jugs, with silver tops. One of the
most curious pieces of the White House
silver service is the silver Hiawatha
boat bought at the Centennial EXPOSE
ton of 1876 This is used at most Of
the state dinners and is always filled
with flowers. Here are also the god
spoons and forks which were bought
by President Van Buren, and which
formed campaign issue when Presi
dent Harrison's grandfather ran against
him The glass of the White House is
also very fine and it takes considerable
for wines used at the state dinners
Much of the glass was manufactured
in this country, and New York firm
made fifty dozen pieces at one time a
few years ago. These were ordered
early during Mr.. Cleveland's term and
some of the articles have an American
eagle cut upon them. The American
eagle perehed above the words "E
Pluribus Unum" is the coat.of.arms of
the White House, and you find it upon
most of the decorated ware. Many of
the light glasses are of gold, ruby, or
amber ware, and there are dozens OF
punch glasses, goblets. tumblers, cham
payne glasses and all of the other
articles which make up the complete
table service. This glassware is the
finest that can be made in this country.

President and his private apartments
The library room, where the President
receives his callers during the day, and
the Cabinet room, where the members
of the Cabinet consult with the Presi-
dent every Tuesday and Friday, are the
principal public rooms. The library
room was furnished much as it is at
present during the administration of
President Fillmore and it is stated that
Mrs. Fillmore selected most of the
books which fill the cases. 1t is large
oval room, with two long windows look.
ing out upon the south grounds, and
contains mahogany furniture upholster-
ed in red leather. There are numerous
book cases around the room and on the
walls are paintings Of the early Presi-
dents.
The President uses a massive desk
constructed of oak timber taken frcm
the ship Resolute. which was sent to
the arctic regions in 1852 by the Eng
fish government to search for Sir John
Franklin. The desk was presented to
the United States by Eogland in 1881
for use in the White House.
The Cabinet room has long table,
around which the heads of Executive
Departments of the Government sit
when they meet for consultation with
the President At the head of the
table the President sits, and at his
right hand sits the Secretary of State,
and at his left the Secretary of the
