AN INGENIOUS CIPHER.

During the great rebellion Sir John
Trevanion, distinguished Cavalier,
was made prisoner and locked up IN
Colchester Castle. Sir Charles Lucas
and Sir George Isle had just been
made examples of as a warning to
'.malignants,' and Trevanion had
every reason to expect similar end.
As he awaited his doom he was star
tied by the entrance of the jailer, who
handed him a letter.
"May't do thee good growled the
fellow. TT had been well looked to
before it was permitted to come to

Sir John took the letter, and the
taller left him his lamp by which to
read 1t.

A DOMESTIC FABLE.

Once upon a time youth who had
commenced to navigate the sea Of mat
rimony went to his father and said:
Father who should be boss, or my
wife?"
Then the old man smiled and said:
Here are 100 chickens and a team
of horses. Hitch up the horses, load
the chickens into the wagon, and wher-
ever you find man and his wife
dwelling stop and make inquiry as TO
who is the boss. Wherever you find
woman running things leave chick
en-. If you come to a place where a
man is in control give him one Of the
horses
After seventy-nine chickens had been
disposed of he came to house and
made the usual inquiry.

man.

So the wife was called and she af-
firmed her husbands assertion.
Take whichever horse you want"
was the boys reply.
So the husband replied: I'm take

A Norfolk, Va, paper has the follow
ing about Hawaiian singers:
Owing to the favor with which the
Royal Hawaiian Singers have been re-
ceived at Cape Henry on the past
Sundays, the management of the Nor
folk and Southern Railway deemed it
well to meet the expressed wishes of
many patrons and have secured the
singers for another concert to be given
tomorrow, Sunday, November Srd- The
program shows the versatility Of the
quintet of singers and musicians, as
| in addition to their native songs and
music they have included many of the
pleasing and popular songs of the
day, those tuneful and catchy airs that
meeting the taste of the public are
taken into favor and everyone wishes
| to hear. them.
| During the several weeks past and
particularly on Sundays the travel to
the ocean has been unusually heavy,
showing the love of the people for the
grand old sea and the desire TO spend
as much time as possible near the
| ma gnifcent spread of waters. The
| half hour trains of the Norfolk and
Southern are very convenient ana the
| trip especially at this season particu-
larly delightful one.
| The price of the round trip tickets
| to either Virginia Beach or Cape Hen
| ry is twenty-five cents, and they
| should be purchased before taking
the trains, as the fare collected by
| the conductors is at higher rate.

go about at night breaking their win

the chief instigator of the mischief, a
