Gated near little town where there
were ten saloons to every church spire
and schoolhouse. In his sermon the
first night he told his audience that
he was going to preach to men only
every morning at 5 o'clock, and that
unless he had good audiences at every
sermon he would pack his trunk and
20 home. For seven mornings the
horn sounded at five, and, strange to
say, nearly every seat in the big tent
was occupied. In his farewell sermon
he said:
II suppose that I should make some
sort of an explanation as to why 1
have called you men out here every
morning before daylight. Well, I'll
tell you. If I gave you until nine or
ten o'clock every day, you would be
so full of Texas beef and whisky that

THE OLDEST CITY In THE WORLD
Far away in the Chaldean plain there
is round hill, called "The Son of the
Prince" by the Arabs, which has just
been excavated by Professor Hilprecht,
the eminent American arcbaologist,
who has found it to contain the ruins
of a city going back to the year six
thousand B. c., or thereabout. 1t is
consequently the oldest city whose
remains have yet been disco, cred
and it proves that men were civil,
lied at that remote epoch. The city
of Nipur, as it was called, is mention
ed in the Chaldean records, but the
excavations show that it had a much
more ancient origin than was thought.
1t is built of bricks, some of which are
s feet thick, and each carries the i'm,
print of the makers finger as kind OF
trade mark, which would please MIR.
Francis Galton, since the ridge and
furrow pattern of the skin is peculiar
to each individual, and does not alter
throughout life. If men lived in cities
of this advanced order, with great
temple and palaces, 5000, years ago,
the human race must be great deal
older than we had imagined from what
we knew of history.

some northern women nursed him un-
til he got well. He stayed in prison
awhile, and there was talk of hanging
him for a pirate, but I did the best l
could for him, because he was brave
man, and finally they exchanged him,
and he went back south.
II began suit for salvage of the brig
Cuba, and got one thousand dollars
for it. She was owned in Millbridge,
Me-, and when the Alabama claims
were up for adjustment her owners
reaped the benefit. I don't like to say
so, but am afraid that first and last
they got a deal more than she was
worth. I was complimented some in
the papers, but I don't hold that what
we did was especially brave, because
we had all the guns you see. 1 tell
you that the six chambers of loaded
revolver are powerful paci6ers.

down to dancing, but that if would

HIS SIGN MANUAL KNOwN.-Mr. s.,
the theatrical manager, though in 9TH
er respects thorough business man
could neither read nor write, but kept
a private secretary, who had strict in
functions not to betray the secret.
One day the manager was dining at
the hotel when gold watch was ratified
for. Each of the guests staked two
shillings, wrote his name on scrap oi
paper, and threw it into hat.
Our manager was dreadfully per-
picked when his turn came to sign his
name.
However, in order not to expose
himself, he pretended to write, rolled
up the blank piece of paper, and threw
it into the hat along with the rest. AS
chance would have it, this very paper
was drawn. :.
Great was the astonishment when it
was found to be blank. But B., the
low comedian, who was present, asked
to have it shown to him, and when he
had examined it carefully, he gravely
exclaimed:

HIS LONGEST DAY.-A serious man.
nered Irish, member named Blake, re-
lates Henry W. Lucy in The North
American Review, is remembered for
a brief correspondence he read to the
delighted house. 1t was introduced
in a speech delivered in debate on the
Irish Sunday-closing bill. Mr.. Blake
had, he con6dentially informed the
house, an uncle who regularly took
six tumblers of whisky toddy daily.
This troubled him, and after much
thought he resolved to write and re-
monstrate with his relative. The fol-
lowing was the letter: "My Dear
Uncle II write to say how pleased l
should be if you could zee your way
to giving up your six glasses of whis,
ky a day. I am sure you would find
many advantages in doing so, the
greatest of which would be that, as
am persuaded, it would be the means
of lengthening your days." The un-
Gle replied: "My Dear Nephew II am
obliged to you for your dutiful letter.
I was so much struck by what you
said, and, in particular, by your kind
wish to lengthen my days, that last
Friday I gave up the whisky. 1believe
you are right, my boy, as to my days
being heightened, for, bedad it was
the longest day ever remember"
