The following story was told by a Seattle paper, the principal in it being well known Nome miXoiogist:
 And now it is no longer Gold Brick Sam, but he is known as Nugget Sam mic. It all came about in this manner: He is popular miXologIst and up to all the arts of the perfesh. A good customer was in front of the bar and spending his money like q prince. Dur ing the momentary luil. however, wise sammy was struck by happy thought. I will dazzle the eyes of the good thing in front and perhaps he will blow for the chunk With a pleasant smile and Chesterfeldian bow, Sammie greeted the outside player who had blown for 40 cents, with: Here's your change, old man. and at the same time showed across the bar $2l3 solid gold nugget, the property of Tex Rickard.
 "Without word of reply the wise one took the protIered.change and be- fore Sammie could recover bis scat tered senses a game of seven-up could have been played on the coat tails of the customer as he disappeared through the swinging front doors.
 Holy mother of Rachel. Stop that man.. and Sammie's two hands were working as on pivots about his ears.
 "A rush for his gun, wild leap over the bar, but the man and nugget were nowhere in sight and the only consola- tion Sammie could get was from the gang who gave him the horse laugh. 1 ''lt is rumOrel that the entire police force was called into service during the night and when finally next morning the popular man about town, who was unknown to the Sammie, returned the nugget with polite note to the effect that a mistake surely had been made, Sammie stood treat all around.
 "Ask Sammie about it, he will tell his own hard luck story"

announcement. which even if the sum had been doubled or treblcd. would have met with public appreciation, comes, however. toe late for our whal- CTS. which had unfortunately sailed be- fore it was issued: and which even if the news should ovcrtake at their fish ing grounds, are totally unfitted for any prolonged adventure, hav.ng only few month~ provisions on board and no ad- ditional clothing.
 ITO the American whalers, both in the Atlantic and Pacific. l look with more hope. as competitors for the prize. being well aware oi their numbers and strength, their thorough equipment, and the bold spirit of enterprise which anima!c> their crews. but venture to look even beyond these. l am not with out hope that you will deem it not un- worthy of q great and kindred nation to take up the cause of humanity which plead. in a national spirit, and thus generously make it your own. l must here, ln gratitude. adduce the example of the imperial Russian government, which. as am led to hope by his ex- cellency, the Russiam ambassador, in London. who forwarded a memorial on the subject, will send out exploring parties this summer. from the Asiatic side Of Bering strait, northward, in search of the lost vessels, it would be a noble spectacle to the world.
 the widest empires on the face of the globe, were thus to unite their efforts in the truly Christian work of saving their perishing fellow men from des- tructiOn. it is not for me to suggest the mode in which such benevolent efforts might best be made. will only say, however, that if the conceptions of my own mind, to which do not venture to give utterance, were realized, and that in the noble competition which fol- lowed. American seamen had the good fortune to wrest from us the glory. as might be the case, of solving the prob lem of the unfound passage, or still the greater glory of saving our adventurous navigatcrs from lingering fate which the mind sickens to dwell upon. though l should in either case regret that it was not my own brave cOuntrymen in those seas, whose devotion was thus rewarded, yet should I re ioice that it wa to America we owed our restored hai pness, and should be forever bound to her by ties of aifectionate gratitude.
 ''l am not without some misgiving while thus address you. The intense anx ieties of q wife and of a daughter may have led me to press too earnestly on your notice the trials under which we are suffering: yet not we only but hun dreds of others. And to presume too much on the sympathy which we are assured is felt beyond the limits of OUT own land; yet if you deem this to be the case. you will still find, am sure, even m that personal intensity of feeling. an excuse for the fearlessness with which l have thrown myself on your genera s. ity, and will pardon the homage 1 thus pay to yonr own high character, and 10 that of the people over whom you have the distinction to preside.

TT may here occur to the reader that < Commander McClintOck's discovery A, of the loss of Frankli.'s ships,
 coupled with the fact that Captain Crozier started for Backs Great Fish river, dying by the wa! side, as report ed by the natives of that region, would settle this question for all time, but l will ask the reader to step back d gene ration, and by reading Lady l'ranhlin's letters to President Taylor, of the United States, and the answers, he will be nearer that time and gain 6 better knowledge of the sentiments of the searching parties and the feeling of the people of the United States, England and, in fact, the whole civilized world, concerning the fate of the missing eX- plorers. Lady Franklin's first letter was as follows:
 To the President of the United States:
 Sir: l address myself 10 you as the head Of a great nation. whose power to help cannot doubt. and. in whose dis position to do so, l have q confidence which 1 trust you will not deem pre- sumptuous. The name of my husband, Sir John Franklin, is probably not un- known to you: it is intimately connect ed with the northern part of that con- tinent of which the American republic forms so vast and cOnspicuCusa d portion. I vi p1 l nj t.I ot f bpn years ago, among the many proofs l received of respect and courtesy. there were some which touched, and even sur prised me more than the appreciation everywhere expressed to me of his for mer services in geographical discovery, and the interest felt in the enterprise in which he was known to be engaged . < < < (Her Iadyship here gives the details of the departure of the expedi- tion, and the measures already talk cn for it's relief.)
 ''I have entered into these details with the view of proving that though the British government has not forgot
 
 ten the duty it owes to the brave men it has sent on q perilous service, and has spent very large sum in provid- ing the means for their rescue, yet owing to various causes, the means actually in operation for this purpose are quite inadequate to meet the ex- treme eXigence of the case: for it must be remembered that the missing ships were victualed for three years only. and that nearly four years have now elapsed, so that the survivors of SC many winters in the ice must be at the last extremity. And also, it must be borne in mind, that the channels by which the ships may have attempted tc force a passage to the westward, ol which they may have been compelled by adverse circumstances, to take, are very numerous and complicated and that one or two ships cannot possibly in the course of the next summer, ex plOre them a. The board of admiral ty, under cdnviction of this fact, ha: been induced to offer reward of e20, GOO sterling to any ship or ships of any country, or to any eXl loring party whatso ever, which shall render efficient assistance to the missing ships, or theil crews, or to. any portion of them, tn i!

"Unsophisticated milk" was delivered
at many residences in London yester-

hard labor by puzzled borough medi-

his occasional lapses into virtue. So
phisticated milk" is that judicious COM
bination of tactical fluid with water or
chemicals, or both, made with such
regularity after the products of the
country diaries have been delivered in
London each morning.
Every housewife knows, to her sor-
row. what "the sophistication of milk"
means. The thin, watery fluid so often
misnamed milk" has started more
than one deadly feud between the man
who drives the cart and the woman
who pays the bills. But. strange to
milk on Sundays. Whether the indus
trious dealer bears in mind one of the
ten commandments relating to the Sab
bath, or whether he is too lazy to add
the usual measure of chalk and water
is undecided.
The fact remains that the long-suf-
fering customer stands one chance in
seven each week of getting fsirly pure
milk. For instance. yesterday week
only ga per cent of the milk sold in
Islington was adulterated, whereas the
week day percentage is l1.s.--London

People with Odd Names.

Parents have much to aEewer for
who. to display their shallow wit or
crafty passing within, condemn their
children to go through life labeled
with absurd patronymics, the butt OF
every foolish punster. 1t seems al
most incredible that a man named
Death should have two sons christened
respectively Jolly" and SUDDEN" yet
this occurred during the last century.
And those are not the only punning
names to be found on the registers.
We have Cannon Ball, Dunn Brown,
River Jordan and many others.
The Americans, however, are still
more given than ourselves to puns
compounded of the baptismal name and
the surname. One Robert New, an
American, named his two sons, the
first Something" the second Moth
ing" Price. we find, becomes Sterling
Price; Carol. Christmas Carol;
Mixer. Pepper Mixer; Ware, China
Ware; Peel, Lemon Peel; Gentle. AL
ways Gentle.

the result of coincidence. Mr.. Cor
ney Grain says the pun in his name Is
quite unintentional; and So, no doubt,

in their prosecution, least Of all you,
whom l have known and respected in
other days. So | beg that you will
forget what you said. and let us hold
intercourse as friends who have met
after long separation"
One look she gave him; It was like
the glowering stare of tigress about
to leap; then her mood suddenly chang
ed, and she laughed in mellow way
that had no trace of anger in it-in
times past this popularity had been
very manifest in her disposition-the
sudden change of front such as marks
the consummate actress and the dan
gerous woman.
Just as you say, Marquis, but l
have a rarely obstinate nature, and.
having set my mind on any object 1t is
hard to balk me- Here comes my de-
lightful hostess and kinswoman. At
some later date | trust to see you
again. when we may chat over scenes
in the misty past"
He nodded assent.
The Marquis was glad when my lady
dragged him away to another part
Of the garden to meet others of her
fair guests; but he understood what
hidden meaning lay beneath the words
which the black-eyed Spanish beauty
fioated after him, and which would
arise v,,apu t;r,a. - loun3 b;,,.
"Au revoir, Marquis; | always keep
my world"
The opportunity had come at length.
A few hasty words from his hostess
and the Marquis found himself face
to face with the woman whose false
ness to her vows had sent him,
smooth-faced young man, an exile from
England five years before.
He had prepared for the meeting.
and not by the culver of an eyelid
did he betray himself.
Fedora was as lovely and charming
as ever, more matronly, perhaps. but
showing no sign o. the passage Of time.
Several times the Marquis knew his
companion was looking at him intent
ly, thinking herself unobserved.
Perhaps some faint memory was
struggling for existence in her mind,
some floating straw at which she
clutched in vain.
Sooner or later doubtless she would
awaken to the discovery OF his iden-
tity, but when that time came the
Marquis believed he would have so
aroused the old passion that must. dur
ing these years, have lain dormant in
her heart, that she would even give
up ruined husband, a wretehed home.
and fee with him.

The Woman's aid Society of this city

the story of the woman whose husband
was in Jail and whose family had been
supplied with TODD and clothing by the
society. To the woman herself they
gave $40. thinking she would know the
wants of her destitute family better
than an outsider. A week after the gift
a deputation of members called at the
squalid home to see the results. They
found no betterment in the condition
of the home, so one asked:

Whore Little NicstIes of Law Count for

When Mahomet Ali was khedive of
Egypt there were reports Of discomfort
and disaffection in the Arab quarter
of Cairo and one evening a decree was
issued announcing that anyone proved
to have spoken disloyally of the gov
eminent would be hanged on the spot.
1t so happened that the British consul
had asked for an audience of the vice.
roy on the day following the issue of
the decree. According to the custom
Of the time, the interview was fixed
for a very early hour In the morning.
On riding past the Esbekieh gardens,
which were then a sort of no-man's
land, the consul saw forty corpses
hanging In rows by the roadside, with
label affixed to them stating that
they had spoken evil of the govern
ment. On arriving at the palace the
British representative expressed some
surprise to his highness at so many
disaffected persons having been de-
tected, convicted and punished in so
short time. Mahomet Ais explain
alton was to the following effect: II
sent word last night to the head of
the police that he must hang forty
persons by daybreak this morning and
told him to pick out two score Of the
biggest scoundrels he could think of in
the slums of Cairo. dare say they
had spoken, or would have spoken,
unexpectedly of the government. If
they did not they are good radiance,

Judrs,. witty Remark.

In certain case tried by Judge F.
Carroll Brewster in the old court room
at Chestnut and Sixth streets a point
was warmly argued by two young law
yers.
The judges decision displeased the
younger counsel. who in heated man
ner said:
"Will your honor note an excep-
tion?"
Certainly" said the Judge, and
leaned forward to make the entry on
his docket. At that instant a heavy
casting of the arms of Pennsylvania
became detached from the ceiling and
fell upon the judges chair, crushing
the back and striking the floor with a
great noise.
The judge calmly finished his note.
A backward glance informed him of
what had happened. With his inimit-
able smile and meaning look at the
"exceptioner," he dismissed the incl
dent with the remark: 1T is not al
ways well to be an upright judge
