Ever since Jacob Mellick, of South
Main avenue. was appointed pound
keeper on the West Side. his life has
indeed been weary one. Mellick,
when he received his commission from
the mayor. deemed 1t unnecessary to
tell the people Of his appointment.
When COWS were locked up people
naturally became angry, and one case
was taken before Alderman Morgan.
Of the Fifteenth ward It was here
that Mellick produced his right as in-
carcerator of the bovine species. He
had three boys arrested on Thursday
evening for interfering with his work,
and last evening Peter and John
Bursshsl. two lads residing on South
Main avenue, were arrested for inter.
fering while he was locking up their
uncls's COW for roaming about the
thoroughfare. The case was postponed
until 6 o'clock this evening.

These people, for thesake of making their
tobacco go further, cut it up very fine and
mix it with finely chopped wood in the pro
portion of about two parts of tobacco to
one Of wood. Willow twigs are commonly
used for this purpose, possibly because they
have slightly aromatic favor. The mode
of smoking the weed thus prepared is very
odd. The smoker, after clearing out the
bowl of his pipe with a little picker or
bone, plucks from his deerskin clothing in
some conspicuous place small wad Of
hair. This he rams down TO the bottom Of
the bowl, the purpose of it being TO prevent
the fine tobacco from getting into the stem
and clogging it up. The pipe is then filled
with tobacco, of which it holds only very
small quantity. The tobacco is then ig-
nited and all of it is smoked out in two or
three strong whiffs. The smoke is very
deeply inhaled and is allowed to pass out
slowly from the mouth and nostrils
This method Of smoking would be found
exceedingly trying by any white man. In
fact, it usually brings tears to the eyes of
the Eskimo often producing giddiness and
almost always violent fit of coughing.
A native will sometimes be almost pros
trated from the effects of single pipeful.
These people carry their fondness for to.
bacco so far that they will actually eat the
foul, oily refuse from the bottom of the
bowl, the smallest portion of which would
produce nausea in a civilized person. This
habit has been likewise observed in north.

To this a bright young American girl in

would have been lost upon her ladyship
had it not been for the friendly offices OF
others in the party, who, by dint of labor

ladyship to see the point of the joke. Their

Consolation.
There's another land and better,
We are told,
Where the slave shakes off his fetter.
And where worth is never debtor
Unto gold.
Thither often are we turning
Weary eyes,
And our heavy hearts are yearning,
Night and day are throbbing, burning,
For its skies
There that foolish superstition,
Pride Of birth,
Finds It's sudden demolition,
And our beings final mission
Is OF worth.
There the insolence of power
Falls away,
And the proudest soul must cover,
For the spirit takes no dover
From the clay.
Common lives have wondrous splendor
In that light,
For the spirit meek and tender
Puts to shame the kings defender
Shorn Of might
Natures touched with fires seraphio
Shed their care,
And on peace grit islands Sapphic,
Far from fretful toll and trafiic,
Dream and dare.
Laws through years of wrong descended
There are changed;
Customs with injustice blended,
Creeds for centuries defended,
Reerranged.
Heaven has solace without measure
You and
Should not dream Of earthly pleasure,
But should think about our treasure
In the sky.

Like a Book.
Man is something like a book
Gilt embossed to gaudy look,
Bound In calf or bound in cloth,
Shod perhaps with some of both,
Named or titled to appear
Very grand as well as dear.
Such as care for outward show
Wear rich garments as they go,
But TO others little matters
Haspings loose and cloth in tatters.
Still with men as it's with books
Tidy covers help their looks.
Much man is like book
Glanced at, read, then shelved or shook.
What a course! Once throned in state,
Now dethroned and out of date;
Shabby now what once was grand.
Battered, bent and secondhand!
Man and book alike are strange
Till within the readers range;
Till are pierced the binding boards
Meier are shown the secret boards;
Shown, we take or let alone;
Thus IL is our choice is known.
Smirched perhaps and all unclean,
Pages of the heart are seen;
Or perhaps they're clean and pure,
Filled with "David's mercies sure"
II my heart be like book
Only print that's pure III brook.

Fancy Poultry Don't Pay.

There is no country where fancy
poultry - mostly Asiatic has had
such boom as in New England; and
no country, unless it be England, can
show such shortage of home pro-
ducts. And now, after all this trial,
seemingly not satisfied with these
prolific Asiatics, poultry editors are
treating us, says the Vermont Chron-
icle, with full accounts of the
"merits" of many mongrel breeds,
superior to the Asiatics" we are
constantly told by the editors them
selves and apparently better just in
proportion as the Asiatlc blood dim

tation from Canada and the West, he
must be a very sanguine poultrYman,
indeed, who still adheres to the no.

any benefit to America. Take the
good old common hens Of New En-

attention that have been given to the

better. Had this been done, we
would now be exporting instead Of

The greatest religious revival ever

that Chickering hall, the largest in the
city, had to be secured to accommodate
the crowds that came out nightly. Dur

This vindicates the Judgment of De

enterprise would pay ITS cost was
ninety million dollars. The Man

million dollars, and the revenue from
it will pay dividends Of 3 to 5 per
