A Frisky Nobleman.

Lord Peterborough. who lived in the
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic
some; and one day, seeing from hi:
carriage dancing-master with pearl
colored stockings lightly stepping
over the broad stones and picking
his way in extremely dirty weather
he alighted and ran after him with
drawn sword. in order to drive him
into the mud, but into which he. o.
course. followed himself. This noble
man was once taken for the duke OF
Marlborough, ana was mobDed in
consequence. The duke was then in
disgrace with the people, and Lord
Peterborough was about to be rough
ly handled. Turning to them he
said: "Gentlemen, ] can convince
you by two reasons that l am mo-
the duke OF Marlborough. In the
first place, have only five guinea;
in my pocket; and in the next they
are heartily at your service. -Argo
Iaut.

went there, and he makes load of
money"
That's all very WE'LL" responded
the captain, 'but people who go to
America pay for their passage, and to
hide away so as to go without paying,
IS just the same as stealing so much
money. Don't you know that?"
Evidently the boy had not taken
that view of the question. He looked
up at the captains stern face with a
frightened and startled expression.
Then he began hurried search in the
pockets of his ragged jacket. From
one he drew forth two coppers, from
another a silver sixpence, and from a
third shilling. These he held out
toward the captain.
"This is all 1 have got now. l
earned the sixpence and the two PEN
mics; the shilling a gentleman gave
me. It's broken, but it's good silver
all the same"
"And what am to do with these?"
asked the captain.

The good captain could maintain his
gravity no longer. A smile lighted
up his rugged features, as he said
kindly.
There, there Joby, keep your
money, my boy. You are nm honest
little fellow, after all. You stay with
me on the Falcon, and we will make a
man of you. How will that suit yor?"
Joby was delighted, of course. The
sailors, who are wonderfully handy at
such things, devised suit of clothing
for his small body. He speedily be-
came great favorite with the crew
of the falcon, proving himself to be
active and intelligent, and, what is far
better, absolutely honest and truthful.

everything made snug for the night
Captain Essex paced to and fro on his
quarterback, grufiiy humming little
song.
His little song was interrupted by a
sudden commotion in the forwar d
part of the vessel. There was sound
of loud, angry talking, followed by
the frightened sobbing of child.
Halo" exclaimed Captain Essex,
"What is the meaning of that row?"
"a stowaway, sir" answered one of
the men from below.
"a stowaway on my ship" growled
the captain. Bring the rascal here!
Well give him q taste of the ropes

1.-THE stowaway, SIR" was the re-
Spouse, as two of the crew approach
ed, leading between them a very
small and very ragged boy.
The anger in the captains face
gave place TO look of astonishmen Mt,
mingled with pity, as his eye rested
upon the shivering form of the in
truder. But he maintained the stern
ness of his tone as he addressed the
boy.
WELL" said he, o"what are you

"N-nothing, SIR" was the trembling
reply.
"Who are you, and where did you
come from? Speak up, now! No

little frame.

you are doing on board this Ship"
said the captain, preserving his sever
ity with an effort.

MIR. Vanderbilt is a scholar of no mean
repute and he knows art and music as
well as Depew, which is very well in
DEED. Both have good deal of faith in
human nature, and think this world is a
pretty good place to live in, with all its
Iauits II is over such grounds they go
IN their afternoon tete-a-tetes as they puff
their good cigars and feel at peace with
every one.
Half an hour later the two men move
along Fifth avenue again. II is now
crowded and there are throngs in the
windows of the club houses. AS the two
swing along they are recognized by pretty
nearly every one, and they seem to pass
through an avenue of bows and smiles.
80 1t continues until Eifty-second street is
reached, and MIR. Depew is about to turn
N the direction of his own home with a
good night salute, when Mr.. Vanderbilt
calls to him
Where tonight, Chaunceyl'
Don't know, Cornelius, I've a night off
l Iancy' May drop in at the Union
League and see the boys"
Don't do that" Mr.. Vanderbilt pro-
tests, drop in and see me. I've got a
couple of small paintings l picked up
ABROAD, and l have not shown them to
you. want your opinion of them"
1t shall be so. Expect me in two
hours"
Then Mr.. Depew's tall for1n is soon lost
IN the shade of the side street, and Mr..
vanderbilt keeps on TO his home a few
blocks above His working day is closed
ana 1t Is but fair to say that he has
earned any pleasure that may follow.
Later the two men may be seen by any
ones who calls, arguing over bit of can
vas, with coloring on it and of a sort that
one picks up in Europe, if he has money
enough.
''Chauncey, you are Philistine," the
| younger man will say
Cornelius, you are a plutocrat." will
De the laughing retort, and you don't
know art"
But these are passing spats and when
Mr.. Depew has gone, after a CHEEKY good
night, Mr.. Vanderbilt INDUCES in his
special fad for time-the study of the
history of New York, and like an honest
| and sensible man, goes to his bed.
Whether dreams of anarchists come to
him there is a question. Looking at the
matter closely it would seem that he
works harder than most of the men who
| do all the talking. Being worth $780,
OOO,OOO he can afford to, so they may say.
Such is typical day in the life of the
Croesus of Gotham. And vet there are
other days that differ from these working
days. Sundays, for example, are always
given up to church. MIR. Vanderbilt is
very r6llglouS. he ATTENDS st. BarthOl-
| omew's Episcopal church and passes the
plate down the center aisle. Needless to
| say, he attracts much attention.
Perhaps the best of his life is given up
to his family. He is seldom seen in pub
| lie places. He shuns notoriety. He never
attends public functions of any charac-
ter, except the opera now and then. He
gives little time to his clubs. But he is
fond of his family, and have seen him
many times on Fifth avenue with two of
his children by the hands, all walking
| along contentedly as boys off for a holt
| day. In all respects Cornelius Wander
bilt is a model citizen His 500, 900, 900
! have not spoiled him.

AN ovERwoRKED POSTMASTER.
The Sudden Flood of Mail Matter at
Guthrie. Oklahoma-Its Results.
From the Naw Xorlr Past


Washington, May IL Interesting
| glimpses of phases Of official life unknown
to the appropriated east are occasion
ally given us at the session of committees
considering bills for relief introduced
into congress in the interest of persons
living on the frontier The statement
made by the postmaster who was in
| charge of the Office at Guthrie, Oklahoma
Territory, in April, 1889, to the posto lice
committee of the House, in support of his
efforts TO get his compensation increased,
is a case in point.
He was notified by telegraph, he said,
to take possession as postmaster on April
%; although the territory had just been
opened, Guthrie had then some 10000 in
habitants. Not a building had been
erected in the place, and the Office made
its headquarters in tent lOxl2 feet
square. Fifty thousand letters, at the
lowest calculation. had accumulated
there in mail bags which had not yet been
opened, and there was about carload of
newspaper mail besides. 1t was impossi-
BILE to house this accumulation, as tents
were scarce, and the United States
troops had to guard it night and day.
BY May 3, the postmaster, who appears
to have been something of hustler"
had contrived to put up building, into
which he moved the postoffice. This was
expensive as well as enterprising, for
lumb Der cost 81 foot and his shanty ran
up a bill of 81, 900 The first day he I'M
derJook to open and distribute the mail
the crowd was so enormous that it broke
down the plank floor, and the troops had
to be called in to dispense IL. He
tried to solve this difficulty by
cutting holes In the sides Of the
building. ana thus making i've dis
tributing windows, and allowing nobody
TO come inside except women and persons
who wished to buy stamps. The line
formed outside of each Of those windows
averaged at least half-mile in length.
The office was kept open from daylight
till dark the night being used to get the
accumulation gradually into shape. In
spite of this energetic effort, the lines of
applicants for mail did not break up, even
during the night time, for fully eight
months.
The sale of stamps during this period
was enormous for such place. In the
first5 quarter alone they reached
a total of about S3.0OU and, as
the postoffice department would not fur
nish stamps sufficient to supply the de-
mand on such security as the bond of
fourth-class postmaster, half Of the sup
plies had To be purchased at the big city
posto1ices in Kansas, Arkansas and
Missouri, the postmaster paying the
bills and taking the risk. Accord
ing 10 law, a fourth-class postmaster
mas his compensation gagged, not by
the number of stamps he sells, but by the
number he cancels; so that in every case
where settlers in Guthrie brought their
own stamps with them, the business Of
the Office, for compensation purposes, was
increased TO that extent. But the unfor-
tunate postmaster could not obtain his
dues from the department, because, for
long time he could not keep clerks N his
employ enough TO count the cancellations

fortunes opeeully FOLLOWS.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
The late Col Frank Burr, journalist and
hail fellow we'll met, believed somewhat
in what is called hoodoo. To illustrate
He aud several friends, w. j. Ellis and
Harry Walker among them, were in a
sleeper in the Grand Central depot, wait
ing for the train to start for the republi-
can national convention in 1888 in Chi
cago. Just before the train started a
man in the car rushed out and kissed an
other man goodby. Col Burr and his
friends with the exception Of Billy Ellis,
saw the masculine OSCILLATION, and the
colonel cried out
Boys, don't look or you will be hoo
dooed."
1t was too late, the hoodoo was on, so to
speak. The sleeper broke down in the
night, and Col. Burr remarked as they
were reused out of bed
"The hoodoo, boys, is working"
1t is i'm apostolic to enumerate the dis
asters that followed every one on the
trip, except Ellis. Col. Burr got sick in
Chicago, and all except Willie j, lost their
overcoats. Harry Walker had bad luck.
But Willie Ellis played in fine luck, aud
held full hands going and coming.
