Avoiding Jury Duty.

who had avoided jury duty for some
time by the assistance of a government
official in acknowledgment of certain
douceur; but he got tired of paying an
annuity, and wanted it to be done with

official, Il will guarantee that you shall
never be troubled again." and the
money was paid. When the day came
Tor his attendance at the court. John
Jones, let US call him, could not resist
the temptation of seeing how his
money had been invested. He de-
scribed the sensation of hearing John
Jones' called out as rather peculiar; it
was called out second time, and he
could hardly resist answering to his
name; when it was called out a third
time, he felt quite eerie. and much more
SO at what took place in consequence.
A person in deep mourning and with a
voice broken with emotion, exclaimed,
John Jones is dead, my lord" And
his lordship, with little reflected
melancholy in his tone, observed,

Fashions in England.

would appear, according to an Eng
lish authority quoted in the New York
Sun, that while in America we are 60
ing along practically in the footsteps of
a year ago in the matter Of mems fash
ions, radical and pronounced change
is taking place in England. 1t is not
likely that those fashions which are ex-
IRENE will find their way over here I'M
til next season, however. There is
among the London leaders of fashion a
pronounced and wholesale return to the
fashions of 1880. The change is a COM
plete one, and it involves the use of
Hessian boots and the old-style bell
crowned hat. The coats will have vel
vet collars, and when they are over
coats, velvet cuffs as well. The coats
are cut with a short waist, long skirts,
and the sleeves are fitted close to the
arm. In extreme cases the sleeves are
made SO that they button closely around
the wrist, showing a very small edge of
the cuff. The old styles of peg-top, or
military, trousers naturally go with a
coat OF this sort, and the man who
walks along Pail Mall in the very height
Of the fashion at the present day will
bear a close resemblance, so far as his
attire is concerned, to his great-grand-
father, when that ancestor was in the
heyday of his youth.

Death His Sure Reward.

In Colombia, South America, FIR. Don
Unia has been devoting his life for some
years to colony of lepers. and it is now
reported that he has caught the disease.
He comes from Turin, Italy, and be-
longs to the Order of Salesian Fathers.
About three years ago he wrote to his
superior in Turin asking to be assigned
to the leper colony Of 200 at Aqua de
Dios, in Colombia, a few miles from
Santa Fe de Bogota, where he was then
stationed. As result of his going to
this colony he fully expected to catch
the leprosy. Indeed, he said that it
would be better for him to be leper,
for then he could mlngIe among the
lepers as one of them. FIR. Don Unia
was almost heartbroken when his SUI
perior refused his request, and assigned
him to work in the City of Mexico.
But finally his request was granted,
and he went to his self chosen work
we'll knowing that he was going to his
death.

An Unfortunate Mistake.

been young man in Maine city who
was entrusted by his church with the
ordering Of flowers fer the Easter-tide,
says the Lewiston Journal. The dis
play was to be gorgeous and a Boston
florist was ordered to send down about
half carload. At the same time the
young man sent in a request that some
pinks be forwarded to his fancee in
Bangor. In some unaccountable man
ner the orders got twisted but they
weren't half SO snarled as was the
young man when the half carload went
to the astonished girl and the equally
astonished church got the bunch of
pinks.

THE value Of the output of the placer
mines of Southern Oregon this year is
estimated at 81 100000. A rich pay lead
has been struck in the Ashland mine
which, ifthe size reported, will yield to
the company from 81 100000 to 81 800,
900 this year.
THE Anaconda Standard is authority
for the statement that the losses to the
sheep owners of Montana as result OF
the recent remarkable storm will be
enormous. The cattlemen readily con-
cede an aggregate loss Of 20 per cent. OF
the range herds of Eastern Montana,
Wyoming and Nebraska.
Two hundred and fifty carloads Of ma
chinery and material have been Or
dered by the Chino Valley Beet Sugar
Company of Chino, Cal. When CON
templated Improvements are completed
the value of the plant will closely APP
proximate 81 900, 900. The company is
at present employing 125 men. Most OF
the new machinery is Of American
make.
