Wanted II Dramatic. +,

A French soldier sat on the sum-
init of a hill overlooking garrison
town; his horse was picketed close
by. The man was smoking leisure
ly, and from time to time he glanced
from the esplanade to big official
envelope he held in his hand. A
comrade passed by and asked,
"What are you doing here?" 'I am
bearing the presidents pardon for
our friend Flichmann, who is to be
shot this morning." replied the
smoker calmly, without changing
his comfortable attitude. "Well,
then, you should hurry along with
your pardon" admonished his COM
rade. "Ah, nop exclaimed the 9TH
er, in some indignation. "See, there
is hardly soul yet on the espla-
made, and the firing platoon has not
even been formed. You surely
would not have me rob my appear
ance of all dramatic effect, my

A PardonsbIe Pun.

Most if not all of the deep sea
sounding now done is done with
steel wire. Professor Silvanus p.
Thompson in his recent "Life of
William Thomson" better known
as Lord Kelvin, says that that sci
enlist was one of the first to recon-
mend the abandonment of the old
hemp rope system.
In connection with this use of
steel wire the story is told that
Joule, visiting Whites shop, found
Sir William surrounded by coils of
wire which he was inspecting and
on inquiring their use was told that
they were pianoforte wire for
sounding.
''For sounding what note ?" in
quired Joule.
"The deep G." was Sir Williams

One Way to Create peers.

Peerages have sometimes been
acquired in curious ways. When the
head of a well known west country
family was raised to the upper
house a good deal Of surprise was
expressed at such a distinction be-
ing conferred upon him, for he had
not rendered any particular service
to his party, having lost practically
every election he had contested.
Lord Beaconsfeld furnished me
with the key to this enigma. "Well,"
said he, "we really did not know
what to do with him, for he was
positively doing us harm. Wherever
he stood he was beaten, so at last
we thought the best way to get rid
of him would be to send him to the
upper house. From 'Under Five
Reigns."

THE PIcAYUNE.
What the Coin Used to Buy When Il
Was In Circulation.

What the Coin Used to Buy When Il
Was In Circulation.
The first time / ever saw penny
was at school in Yankeeland in
1847. 1t was given me to pay the
man for bringing me letter from
the postoffice-10 cents postage, 1
cent delivery in those davs. Peo-
pie had to get their mail at the of
flee. There was no free deliv-
cry. Certain neighborhoods of
spinsters, however-the college
town was full of such--secured the
services of a lame, halt or blind
man to bring their letters from the
Office to their door once a day for
the stipend of penny each.
There was no coin in circulation
Of less value than picayune where
was my home. A picayune repre-
sented so little value that miser
was called picayunish. At the same
time it represented such a big value
that we children felt rich when we
had one tied in the corner of our
handkerchief. Old Manette, who
set up her table and urn for an hour
or so every morning at the corner
of Camp and Canal streets, served
delicious hot coffee--a big cupful,
too-for a picayune, but when /
was out of bed early enough for that
it was to go to market with John.
Then we took our coffee at Pal
myre's stand, for she supplemented
greasy cake the size of cracker
as lagniappe with the coffee. At
the corner of Chartres and Canal
streets was a tiny soda fountain
where one could get glass of soda
for picayune-or mead. We chill
dren liked mead. 1 never see it
now, but as / recall it was a thick,
honey, creamy drink. We must have
preferred it because it seemed so
much more for picayune than the
frothy, effervescent, palish soda
water. 1t was a great lark to go
with pa and take my glass of mead
while he ordered ginger sirup (of
all thingsD with his soda. In the
changes years bring, a penny now
buys about what picayune did in
my day. One pays penny for
ever SO big a newspaper today. A
picayune was the price of small
sheet in my time.--Mrs. E. Ripley
in New Orleans Times Democrat.

Tho IronoIsd Vessel.

The famous naval battle in
Hampton Roads was the first real
test of the ironclad vessel. Before
that memorable affair there had
been one or two armored craft, but
they had not been tried in battle.
The Hampton Roads fight sounded
the doom of the wooden warship.
1t was seen at once that such yes
sells were useless against craft like
the Monitor or Merrimac, and the
navies of the world were instanta-
neously revolutionized. Since 1862

1t may very truly be said,
That his is noble vocation,
Where industry leads him to spread
Around him little creation
He lives independent of all
Except the Omnipotent donor;
He's always enough at his call,
And more is a plague to it's owner.
He works with his hands it is true,
But happiness dwes with employment;
And he who has nothing to do
Has nothing by way of enjoyment
His labors are mere exercise,
Which saves him from pain and hysicians
Then farmers you truly may prize
Your own as the best of conditions.
From competence shared with content,
Since all true felicity springs,
The life of farmer is blent
With real bliss than kings.

 There are four principal cities where the members of the union are barred, according 10 Otto E. Fisher, of Chicago, international secretary of the union, who arrived yesterday. They are New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Boston. The bakers are almost ready to enter the field in

states that it being moonlight n1gnt with little wind stirring, Captain Dan iels decided it would be entirely sate for him to navigate the steamer hlm- self rather than disappoint the excur- sionists already on board. This, ln- spector Dorsey says, comes under the classification of special cases in the marine laws. He holds that Captain Daniels was justified in his action' and that the inspectors were not jus tified in revoking his pilots license.
 In his report he states that Captain Daniels only error was in not report ing the fact that he had navigated the Grand alone to the Board of 1nspec- tors at Memphis within 12 hours. lie states that Captain Daniels has stat ed that this was due to an oversight, and that while his neglect renders him subject to a fine, it does not jus tify the revoking of his license.
