A TRAMP's ELOQUENT LECTURE.

A tramp asked for free drink in
a saloon. The request was granted
and when in the act of drinking the
proffered beverage, one of the
young men present exclaimed:
"Stop; make US a speech. 1t is
poor liquor that doesn't unlOosen a
mans tongue %
The tramp hastily swallowed
down the drink, and as the rich
liquor coursed through the blood he
straightened himself and stood be
fore them with a grace aud dignity
that all his rags and dirt could not
obscure.
"Gentlemen, he said, Il look to
night at you and myself, and it
seems to me l look upon the picture
of my lost manhood. This bloated
face was once young and handsome
as yours. This shambling figure
ouce walked as proudly as yours, a
man in the world of men. l, too,
once had a home, had friends and
position. had a wife as beautiful
as an artists dream, and I drop
ped the priceless pearl of her honor
and respect in the wine cup and
| Cleopatra-like saw it dissolve and
quaft it down in the brimming
draught. I had children as sweet
and lovely as the flowers of spring
and saw them die under the blight
ing curse of a drinking father.

upon the alter and ministered be-
fore it, and put out the fire anC
darkness and desolation reigned il

ambitions that SCARED as high a

and bruised their beautiful wings
and at least strangled them that

is dead. And all swallowed up il

The tramp ceased speaking. Tht
glass fell from his nerveless finger
l and shivered into a thousand frag'
! ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut again
and when the little group abou

gone.-New Orleans Picayune.

A legal battle no less novel than
interesting is pending in the justice
court at Brenham, Texas. A
colored man settled for a lot of
goods purchased from a store with
a So 90 confederate note. He was
arrested and brought into court for
trial the state was puzzled to know
what charge to allege in the com
plant. The charge of theft could
not be sustained, because the goods
had been fairly and openly pur-
chased. Passing counterfeit was
not bis crime, for the reason that
confederate money is not counter
felt in any sense of the term. The
charge of swindling could not be
sustained for the reason that there
was no evidence to show that the
defendant ever told the clerk or
any one else that the bill was good
money; he simply handed it to the
salesman who accepted it, he re-
ceived his purchase and walked out,
The case is unique, the trial inter.
esting and the result will be closely
watched as some legal history will
perhaps be made and precedents of
Importance established.

Ecllpse of the Moon.

The moon lodged in behind some
object last night and remained
almost obscured for the space of
thirty minutes. The reporter was
called up by several of his friends
over the phone and asked what
allied the moon. OF course we had
to play learned and we informed
them that the moon was between
the sun and the earth, or the earth
was between the sun and moon, or
perhaps the sun had sandwiched
itself between the earth and the
moon, and that the shadow would
soon brush by and no harm would
be done.
Our friends received our explana-
ton as gospel truth and the eclipse
while it was a good one, was watch,
