AN OLD MAIDS EPITAPH.

Old Abigail Henderson Had No Com
fdence in Mankind.
One of Depew's stories at the Buffalo
club dinner which does not appear in
his reported speech was one told by his
friend Mr.. Bishop, for long time presi-
dent of the New Haven road. "He is
now" said Mr.. Depew, resting in his
old age In honorable retirement and
reflection upon the sins which are FREE
quent with a railway president. He
told me the other day that when he Wis.
tied, for the first time in sixty years,
the place of his birth, he began to in
quire about the old lady and old maid,
Abigail Henderson, who was his teach
er in his early youth-before he went
to the academy and thence to Yale
and finding no record of her among the
"reminiscences of the town went to the
churchyard and there discovered that
she had erected q Renaissance of her
self. It was a monument on which was
inscribed: Abigail Henderson, died
aged Sc. Put your trust in the Lord
and have no confidence in man. If
Abigail had been the recipient of the
honor you have showered on me tonight
she would have reversed that verdict.
She might not have expressed her doubt
as to the Lord, but she certainly would
have been treasured about man."-Ex

WINE SROP OF DEATH.

GhOa1Iy Fun Where Fthe Spectator
= Sees Himself in n Coffin.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The Casino
Chambers, on the ground floor of the
Casino theater, were thrown open last
night to the public.
A more 4rewsome creation it would be
hard to imagine. They are fashioned
after the Cabaret du Meant" (The Wine
Shop of Death) of Paris. and, for those
morbidly inclined, it will prove a well
come innovation.
There are four of these rooms; the first
is called the Restaurant of Death.
Through a hole in the wall is seen a
coffin, in which appears the image of
the spectator. In the second cham Der
phantoms are shown, to the strains of
the harmonium. A doubtful sort of
amusement is here furnished by one of
the spectators being wound in a sheet and
placed in one of the coffins, and then be-
fore the eyes of the interested spectators.
he slowly decomposes, until only the
skeleton remains.

it not absurd" he said, "that Joan OF

saved? France was proud Of De Sew

ASTONISHING A SALMON.
How an Impatient Fisherman Lost His
Keys.

How an Impatient Fisherman Lost His
Keys.
It is a good maxim to have patience
with weeded fish; indeed, this vir-
tue often stands the angler in good
stead, says the Blackwood's Magazine.
I once knew a friend of mine put to
serious inconvenience for want of it.
He had hooked heavy salmon, and
this fish lay down and sulked, as sal
mon will do once in half a dozen sea-
sons, though not nearly SO often, If
properly handled, as some people sup
pose. My friend was good fisher and
allowed his fish to take no liberties;
nevertheless this salmon lay down in
q deep, black pool. Every known ex-
ped1ent was tried to stir him; stones
were thrown in-the only result was
that the fish took leisurely turns and
returned to his stronghold. The an
gler got below him, above him, along
side of him and pulled on him to the
limit or the strength of his tackle
all to no purpose. A fine afternoon
was ebbing away and fish in the river
were on the job. What was to be done?
A bright thought occurred to the
sportsman. He had a bunch of keys in
his pocket-the keys of all his most
sacred repositories. They were on
ring that opened like a hinge. Fit
ting this around the butt of his rod,
without. having the patience to re-
move the keys, he ran it down over the
point. and the whole bunch went rat
Ting down the line and lodged on the
salmon's nose. It had a splendid effect.
away went the fish like a dog with
tin kettle at its tail; twenty, thirty
yards of line whizzed from the reel,
and then-there came disaster. The
point Of the rod few up; the fish was
gone; back came the flies, but back
did not come the keys. Thirty seconds
would have sufficed to remove the
keys before using the ring; fish and
ring might indeed have been lost, but
the keys would have been safe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Some serious
charges have been fled against United
Marshal Nix of Oklahoma, and yester-
day Attorney General Harmon tele-
graphed for him to report in Wash
ington Immediately and make explana-
tions. The charges are that Nix has
been stimulating his deputies to pur-
chase Federal warrants issued for
witness fees at great discounts, and
then not only collecting the full
amount from the government, but
added interest. A mem Der of Congress
from Kentucky, from which State
Nix was appointed, and who is
friend of the latter, had an interview
with the attorney general in Nix's
behalf. "Mr. Nix will be given every
opportunity to disprove these
charges" said the attorney general,
but should they prove to be true, he
cannot longer remain in office"
