sydne, ~m,,h.- Joke.

Sydney Smith was very happy in hil country life, and his children caught his spirit of delight over common things. They loved animals and spent long hours in training them. One little beast, baby donkey, became unde, their tuition perhaps the most accom-. plished of his species and unconscious. ly gave rise to a quatrain which now belongs to the fame of Sydney Smith. The donkey was we'll educated chap. He would walk up stairs, follow the family in their rambles like dog and when they entered his meadow run to meet them with ears down and tail erect, praying joyously.
 One day, when Billy's head was crowned with flowers and he was being trained with handkerchief for bridle, MT. Jeffrey unexpectedly arrived. He joined in the sport and to the children . infinite delight mounted Billy.
 Thus he was proceeding in triumph when Sydney Smith and his wife, with three friends, returned from walk and took in the festal scene. The great man advanced, with extended hands, and greeted his old friend in an impromptu which has become familiar to the read ing world:
 Witty as Horatius Flaccus,
 As great a Jacobin as Gracchus
 Short, though not as fat as Bacchus
 Seated on little jackass!

The Death of Coaching.

The coaching system died lingering, a lamentable death. can remember something of few coaches in remote districts which longest escaped strangu. lation, and memory of those distant days has been sweeter without them. They resemble what Nimrod describes as the obsolete, old fashioned coach of his boyhood, drawn by dispirited, i'll fed jades over long stages. One of his paragraphs well describes what used to make my blood boil with impotent fury, imbittering the joy of returning home for the holidays, and deepening the depression of the sohoolward jour- ney:
 "The four horse whip and the Not tingham whipcord were of no avail over the latter part of the ground, and some- thing like cato nine tails was pro- duced out of the boot, which was joou- larly called the apprentice, and a shrewd apprentice it was to the art oi torturing, which was inflicted on the wheelers without stint or measure, but without which the coach might have been often left on the road.
 No; the last of the road coaches corruptio optimi-disappeared and left none to mourn them. Blackwood' < MaQaZino

 His Narrow Escape.

And He Has Good Reason to After
 His Narrow Escape.
 "There is a physician now stopping at this house, remarked the proprietor of one of the hotel barber shops. "who has a mortal dread of razor in the hands of another. It originated in re- markable experience. Some years ago he was in town in Iowa and stepped into barber shop to get shaved. All the chairs were filled, so he sat down to wait. In few minutes one of the bar bers called 'Nextp and he was getting up when gentleman who had just en- tered addressed him.
 |" I am in great hurry to catch a train, he said, and would be very grateful if you would allow me to take the chair ahead of you.
 Y "Such requests are not unusual, and the doctor, who is naturally obliging, told him to go ahead and resumed his seat The other man had hardly climbed into position when the barber picked up razor and cut his throat from ear to ear. killing him instantaneously.
 "In spite of stories to the contrary. think that is the only case of the kind that ever happened in the United States. The barber turned out to be in- sane, but the horror of the scene and the almost miraculous character of his own escape made such an impression on the mind of the doctor that he has never since allowed anybody to shave him.
 "Only this morning I trimmed his hair, and in finishing the job l started, as is customary, to shape up the growth of his temples with the corner of my razor. The moment he caught sigbt of the blade he turned pale as death. Don touch me with that r he excl1i'n- ed.

The Grief of Parting.

The man leaned right into the rail- way carriage. There was positive an- guish in his drawn face. The lady in- side was very pretty and beautifully dressed. Her softnesses of complexion and hair, of lace and filmy material. triumphed in the searching glare of the electric light, which showed the rich luxury of every detail of her costume. She smiled with pretty. regretful tenderness as she replied lightly to his earnest works. He looked at her as if he could never look long enough, as if her face held for him the whole mean ing of life As the train began to move, his fingers fell passionately on the un- gIoved hand resting on the window ledge; then instinctively he sprang back, raised his hat, and l caught in full light glimpse of his white face.
 Directly the train steamed out of the station the lady rose, carefully rolled up her veil, and, quite indifferent to my presence, proceeded before the mirror in the carriage to dust her face with 8 dainty pocket handkerchief, and to ap- ply to forehead and nose the minutest layer of powder with tiny puff. She patted and arranged her curls, drawing them with hairpin into coquettish po- sition and curve, and then, lowering her veil, she sank into the seat with sigh of satisfaction. Academy.

Bribing Sturgeon.

The autobiography of the late Rev. Charles H. Sturgeon contains an ac- count of what may be termed an early business venture and it's influence oD his character.
 Sturgeon was brought up on Watts hymns, but not altogether willingly. His grandmother coaxed him with money to learn them. At first she gave him a penny, but when she saw how easily it was earned the old lady re- duoed the prize to halfpenny and then to farthing. There is no telling how low the amount per hymn might have fallen, but just at this time his grand father made discovery which seemed more desirable to Sturgeon.
 He discovered that his house was overrun with rats and offered his grandson shilling dozen for all he could kill
 The occupation of rat killing gave him more money than learning hymns. But" MT. Sturgeon characteristioally says, "I know which employment has been the more permanently profitable to me- n

H. SimOns, of Dyea, arrived in the city early yesterday morning on the steamer Farallon, on which he shipped 200 tons of old tramway cable to Seattle. He bought large amount of cable from one of the old tramwav companies of San Francisco some time ago. It is all steel, but has been cut up so that much of it is of little value. MT.
