THRILLED WITH THE TURTLE.
How Tobacco Made the Sleepy Thing
Liven Up Bit.

How Tobacco Made the Sleepy Thing
Liven Up a Bit.
A large green turtle with very bad case
of seasickness aboard is sight which might
well excite the curiosity of the ignorant
landsman who thinks the green turtle is a
maritime animal whose delight is in the
rolling waves and stormy winds.
This may be the case, but it is more likely
that the particular turtle which was the CEN
tire of an admiring crowd on Seventh street
the other day was not yet off his sea legs
He was in shallow tub in front of a res
taurant, and above him hung sign; ''Tur-
tie soup today
He was C mild-mannered, somnolent-look-
ing turtle, with a contemplative, sedentary
air. There were two little street arabs who
were out for a lark, and they stopped to size
up the deep sea waif. One of them dropped
the fag end of very "snipey" looking cigar
on the top of his head. This had not the
desired effect, and the other one got a straw
and tickled the inside of the turtles OF
nostril This had the desired effect The
turtle snapped vigorously and engulfed the
only thing within reach, which was the cigar
butt. Shortly thereafter the excitement
began, and by the time the turtle had started
to climb up the side of the restaurant and
had changed his mind and attempted to go
out and have toboggan slide on the slot in
the cable road, quite crowd had collected
A colored man came out of the restaurant
and recaptured the turtle, and then wanted
to know what was the matter with him.
Nobody seemed to know but apparently he
was uncomfortably ill., Washington Post.

SHOPPING WITH A MAN.
An Earnest Plea for His Emancfpa-
tfOn by a sympathetic Woman.

An Earnest Flea lOr k1As EIAAAnCAPsh-
tfon by a sympathetic Woman.
Why in the name of all that is sensible will
woman insist upon dragging the man OF
the family around with her when she is do
ing her holiday shoppingl I just wish had
kept tally this week of the number of bored,
embarrassed, harassed, unhappy looking
souls following in the wake of some fair ones
petticoats.
Every blessed man of them had an air of
wanting to strike, but he Just didn't dare
Now, where does the fun for the woman
come in? 1t wouldn't be such a mystery if l
didn't know, as all my sisters know, that
when man has been nagged into doing
what he doesn't want to do he is either de-
plorably helpless, hopelessly Indifferent or
excessively mulish As for getting him to
express an opinion, it is utterly impossible.
He is, however, as rule like putty In
the hands of the sly creature who has man
aged to get him in tow. Perhaps this ex-
plains her callousness in torturing him with
counter decisions The stupidest Of us realize
that when the masculine shopper is brought
face to face with the momentous question,
(which shall it beg or "What do you
thinkw that he will pay any sum to be re-
leased from the dilemma.
Simmer it down, and am of the opinion
that it is cunning feminine trick, this thing
of making some brother purse bearer. Ger
tain am that the misery of trying to plas-
ter five-dollar bank bill over long and
discouraging shopping list would be prefer
able to unlimited cash if the having OF it in
volved the presence of an individual look
ing as if in galley chains and evidently as
much out of place in the Christmas buying
as an elephant in china shop.-Phitadet-

THOSE TREASURY BONDS.
Committee Report Unfav.
orabIy-IncOme Tax Bill.

WASHINGTON, JAN 26, 1s94-Mr. Cock
ran, Dem. N. " voiced the feel
ing of all the opponents of the
Income Tax when he suggested the
absence of quorum this morning. This
was a continuance of his dilatorv tactics of
yesterday, when he tried to prevent the
offering of an amendment tacking the
revenue bill with the income tax attachment
on to the tariff bill He was Successful yes
terday, more from the fact that the managers
of the bill had not decided what to do with it
than because of the absence of a quorum.
During the call of the roll enough mem
bers strolled in to complete a quorum.
Mr. Cochran called attention to this fact,
and withdrew his point of order, and the
roll call was discontinued.
Mr.. Cogswell Rep., Mass.) offered joint
resolution authorizing the President to make
suitable recognition of the gallantry of the
officers and five men of the Netherlands
steamer Amsterdam" who lost their lives
in an effort to rescue the crew of the Amer
lean schooner maggie E. Wells" The
resolution was agreed to.
Mr.. Bailey Dem, Tex.l from the Judici-
ary Committee, favorably reported the
resolution denying the right of the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds
save for the resumption purposes. The reso-
luton was referred to the House Calendar.

THE BAGS DISAPPEARED.
Heroic Remedy of German Soldiers
for an Annoying Fad.


At the garrison town of Maria-Theresi-
anopel, in Hungary, the ladies have been
getting into the habit of taking with them
to the theatre plush bags of various sizes
and colors, in which they kept all their
paraphernalia, such as opera glasses,
sweets, handkerchiefs, smelling bottles,
etc The sight of a row of these recepta-
cles dangling over the ledge of the dress
circle and boxes was, to say the least,
peculiar; while the incessant manipula-
tions of these ornamental appendages by
their fair owners had the effect of divert
ing the attention of sthe audience from the
proceedings on the stage. To make mat
tiers worse, the fashion "caught on"
among the lower classes, and Biddy, stroll
ing in the park at the side of her faithful
trooper, was sure to have plush bag swing
ing in her hand
The said fashion is now dead.
1t came to pass in this wise. Last week,
and for several nights in succession, the
officers of the Hussars quartered at M
bought up all the front seats in the boxes
and dress circle, and turned up at the
performance carrying on their arms an or
dinary forage bag, somewhat less than the
usual size, which they slung over the ledge
in imitation of the ladies. The joke created
no little amusement, and roars of laughter
shook the house when the officers
produced from their bags opera glasses,
monocles, sweets, handkerchiefs, and here
and there tobacco pouch or a snuff box.
Since then the plush bags have disappeared
from the horizon.-Hanlburgh Nachnichtea.

STATED INTO A HOLE.

UTICA, N. Y. Jan. 26, 1894. Wednesday
afternoon w. A. Thomas, bookkeeper in
the Utica State Hospital, and Miss Dollie
Miner, nurse in the same institution,
started to skate from this city to
Rome and return on the Erie canal
They did not return to the hospital that
night, but nothing strangew was thought OF
this, as the parents of both reside in tina
city. Yesterday afternoon it was learned
that they had disappeared, and a
search was commenced. At about
nine o'clock this fornoon their bodies
were found under the ice at Oriskany. 1t
seems that they had proceeded westward as
far as the Oriskany monument. They were
seen to start back toward Utica about
.half-past five P. NJ, and when neatly opposite
Oriskany village, they skated into an open
ing in the canal where ice was being cut.
They were both estimable young people
and We're held in high regard by the State
Hospital authorities and their many ac-
quaintances in the city.

AFTER THE Fight.
How the Pugllists Look To-
day-Ball Bonds Re-
neWed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. &c, 1884,
Nearly all the sporting men who witnessed
the fight between Corbett and Mitchell have
left for their respective homes OF for other
resorts. the only ones remaining being few
who stayed over out of idle curiosity to see
the result of the cases against Corbett and
Mitchell, who are to be given hearing this
morning.
Warrants were out last night for Jack
Dempsey and Billy Delaney, and it is
thought that the rest Jof Corbett's seconds
were also wanted.
Mitchell is the most liberal minded of all
the men who visited the arena yester-
day, for while everybody reports more
or less to talk of foul, Mitchell
did nothing more than he would have done
himself under similar circumstances. He
acknowledged his defeat in a manly way,
and does not hesitate to say that he con-
siders Corbett the very best man in the
world
This city today is like graveyard COM
pared with the bustle and excitement OF yes
terday.
There was hitch in the programme for
Corbett's leaving here on his special at 9
o'clock. All the men who were arrested yes
terday and gave bail for their appearance
were notified earlythis morning that there was
some error in the bonds given yesterday and
new ones would have to be furnished This
required their attendance in the Court House
at ten o'clock, and there they all went at
that hour, followed by crowd, which was
denied admission to the court room.
Satisfactory bonds were first given for
Corbett, the City Attorney agreeing to con-
slider his case first, in view of his New York
engagements.
He was required by the bond. which is for
$1,000, to be present and stand trial on Feb
ruary 2S.
When the Court told him he was at liberty
until that date, Jim walked over to the
Mitchell party and shook hands with them
all. In bidding goodbye" to Mitchell, as
he shook hands Corbett said:-"Good-by
old man, Tll see you in New York"
The only evidence of the fight Corbett
shows this morning is a swollen left hand,
that come from blow he struck Mitchell
when he scored the first knock down in the
second round. The blow landed on Mitchelrs
temple.
SIT was good hard punch" Corbett said
as he looked at the swollen hand
Mitchell's lips are swollen and the left side
of his face is bruised and discolored, but
he will show no marks in a day or
two Corbett's friends this morning say that
the reason he lost his head in the second
round was that he was worked up and mad
dened by the remarks of his seconds.
Every time the fighters were near Cor
belts corner Delaney and the others there
so it is said, would whisper 1--WE have Char
lie in the ring now. Now we've got him, "
and remarks of that kind. This is probably
given out to relieve Corbett of the charge of
having been thrown off his mental base by
his antagonists taunts. Mitchell also leaves
today as soon as his bond is arranged.

INFLUENCE OF PICTURES.

A room with pictures in it and q room
without differ by nearly as much as a room
without windows, for pictures are a loop
hole of escape to the soul, leading it to other
scenes and other spheres as it were, through
the frame of an exquisite picture where the
fancy may for moment revel refreshed and
delighted. They are relief to the Jaded
minds: they are windows to the imprisoned
thought; they are books; they are histories
and sermons, which we can read without the
