To church the two together went,
Both doubtless on devotion bent;
The parson preached with fluent case
On Pharisees and Sadducces;
And as they homeward slowly walked
The lovers on the sermon talked;
And lie—he deeply loved the maid—
In soft am tender accents said:
“Darling do you not think that we
Are Pharisce and Sadducee 7"
She flashed on him her bright, black eyes,
In one swift look Of vexed surprise,
And then he hastened to aver
He was her constant worshipper ;
“But, Mary, I insist,” said be,
“That you are very fair, I see;
I know you don't care much for me,
And that makes me sad, you see.”

run FUNERAL 0F o’nnuoxar.
Men go out of sight very soon. Twelve
years ago, ,Col. John O’Mahoney filled the
newspapers, which is the modern trump of
fame, and his name was on the lips Of men.
He had been a patriot in Ireland, had beard—
. ed the British Lion in his den, had emigrated
to this country, and organized the Fenian
movement, and has its acknowledged head.
He had gorgeous quarters, a “staff,” and all.
the ribs of a great warlike enterprise. He
had everything, in fact, necessary to conquer
the independence of Ireland, except men and
arms, and some other trifles. But they had
a good time of it. While, the servant girls
and laborers contributed, and when the regu-
lar Irish quarrel came, O’Mahony subsided.
As he was an honest man who actually be-
lieved in the possibility of military operations
against England, he went out poor and has
lived in povert r and obscurity ever since.
His death was the first that had been heard
of him for some time. The Irish gave the
dead “hero” an immense funeral. All the
societies turned out in regalia, and every
Irshman in the city got out his plug hat from
the box where it had rested since last St.
Patrick’s day, and the city was alive with
them. His body was taken .to Ireland for
interment. And speaking of the Irish, would
anybody suppose that human crcdulity could
go so far as to contribute money for another
RAID UPON CANADA.
O'Donovan Rossa, who was an Irish “Hero,”
is also receiving contributions of‘ any sums
that servant girls and simple-minded laborers
choose to give,to forma “Skirmishing Fund.”
He proposes to organize a regiment of skir-
mishers to annoy the rear of the British Lion
in Canada, while other “ heros" attack him
in front on the old sod. All this to occur as
soon as Europe gets into a general war,whieh
will takethc attention of England. The average
Irishman is a queer institution. The race in
America may be properly divided up into
dupes and dupers. The moment a speck of
war appears upon any horizon, the “leaders"
immediately issue a proclamation, announc-
ing that “Ireland’s opportunity” is at last
here, and that all that is needed to secure
Irish independence is—moncy. Any sum
will be received, and from any source. The
servant girls and laborers take a\liberal share
from their scant earnings, and give it to the
beats, who collect all that is possible, and
then let the thing die. One would suppose
that after a dozen or two such experiences
the people would lmow better, but they
don’t. The innocents are always ready to be
sheared, and there are always “leaders" to
shear them. The contributions to O'Rossa’s
skirmishing fund, as absurd as it is, fills col-
umns in the Irish newspapers. _
rnocnm 1N 'rmr BENEYOLEN'I‘ SOCIETIES.
It is too bad that one can’t give a' dollar
with any certainty that it will reach the
people intended to be benefitted. The benev-
olent societies of the city are undergoing ex-
amination, and a vast amount of rottenness
has been developed. One institution for
sheltering distressed women was found to be
9. purely private speculation of two enterpris~
ing young men, and had no shelter or any-
thing else, and who were collecting large
sums from the charitable. They had the
sublime impudencc to appeal to the authori-
ties fora share of the State appropriation,
and were caught. Other institutions were
found to be organizations for the support of a
parcel of dead beats. The officers, and there
are an immense number of them, were all
under heavy pay. The collectors were paid
a heavy percentage upon their collections;
heavy rents were paid upon which “divvies”
were doubless allowed, and altogether it was
as rotten as Tammany, and I can’t say more
than that. Don‘t suppose all the societies are
of this class—there are deserving ones, but
a large percentage of them are. proper sub-
jects for‘ close watching.
POLITICAL.
The democracy are in the dumps. They
give up all hope of sliding Tilden in by the
Electoral Commission, and are arranging for
their new campaign. Their only hope now
is an appeal to the courts, which Tilden has
determined to make, apparently forgetting
that five members of the court will have de-
clared their ideas of the law in the case while
they are on the commission. This fight is ,
for a purpose. Even if Tilden is defeated
they have hopes that President Hayes can be
bulldozed into being very liberal in the giv-
ing of places, for the sake of cOnciliating
them, and healing their bruises. The action
of the Commission meets with approval from
the business men of the city, irrespective of
party affiliations, and the attempt of the hot-
heads to go back of its decisions and prolong
the contest, finds no backing. The point
now is to have the agony over, and the ques-
tion settled, and there will be acquiescence in
it, no matter which way it goes. ‘
LENT.
Lent is on us, and fashionable New York
mortifies the flesh for fOrty days. During
that time the fashionable woman is eXpected
to get down into the valley and shadow of
humility, and this she does by eating no meat,
and abstaining from worldliness altogether.
This is accomplised by dropping at] high col-
ors in dress, by resolutely refusing to dance,
and letting parties severely alone. They hu-
miliate themselves in dark velvets at $15 ,a
yard, and,black lace to match, and in that
humble garb—dark colored, mind you—dance
in the afternoons. In eating they distinguish
themselves. The good natured bishop gen-
erally gives all who can tell a white he a dis-
pensation to eat meat, but those too conscien-
tious to ask it manage to drag out a hungry
and mortifying existence on soups, fish, eggs
and a thousand other preparations. Potted
and spiced meats not coming inside the re-
striction, they manage very well. Nursing
mothers are aIIOch meat, to give them
strength, and so every mother whose child is
nourished by a wet nurse escapes the prohi-
bition, and indulges in steaks and roasts as
usual. She probably'eats meat to give the
nurse strength. Lent is a good thing for the
fashionable woman. After a season’s hard
dancing and theatre-going it is well to have
forty days of quiet, in which to meditate
on her sins, and decide what she shall get for
her Spring clothes, and see that they are
properly made up. Then there are the art
galleries to go to, and the shops, with quiet
card parties in the evening. The services in
the swell churches make a very good substi-
' tute for the opera, especially as only opera
singers are employed in the choirs. Fash-
ionable religion isp very satisfactory thing.
The yoke is made very easy. .
LABOR.
There are fifty thousand men. in the City of
New York out of work, with ever prospect
was but little building last Summer, there
has been none doing this Winter, and in all
the mechanical pursuits stagnation has been
the rule. Everybody wears their boots and
clothes amount or two longer than they did,
and nobody buys anything in the way of
furniture or furnishing who can possibly
avoid it, and consequently a heavy per cent.
of those formerly employed in these pursuits
are sitting still and many of them starving.
You can get men by the hundred for eighty
cents a day, and strong men are willing to
take office boys’ places at $4 a week. The
wages that are paid are fearfully small. A
car-driver, exposed to rain and fr0st, standing
on his feet from five in the morning till eleven
at night, gets $1.80 a day. “It’s hard times,”
said one lime; “but what are you going to
do? If should quit, there would be a thou-
sand app.yin’ for the place in an hour. I’m
glad to get even this”, And women! an ad-
vertisement for a woman to do anything, at
any price, will bring a thousand answers by
noon of the day it appears. The charities
are overburdened, and private individuals are
beset. The professional mendicant, with a
thousand different dodges, takes awaya large
part Of what the really honest poor ought to
have, and so half-fed, and not clothed, at all,
they exist somehow, walting till the Spring
opens. and some kind of business commen-
COS.
B USIN ESS
Begins to show a slight improvement. There
are a great many merchants in the city from
the South and West, and they are buying
more liberally than they have for some time.
The resumption of business by the manufac-
turers of New England is doing something
to make a better feeling, and the indications
are that there will be 'a good business for
these times in the Spring.
anvnn 1N WALL srnanr.
The most curious phase of the religious
feeling now prevailing, 1. the series of prayer
meetings daily for the Wall street gamblers.
The bulls and bears have been finally touch-
cd, and the place of meeting is daily throngcd
with them. And they show a great deal of
feeling. Let us hope that it will stop some
of the gambling which has made that street a
by-word and a reproach. If they should all
get decently converted it would make a wil-
derness of it. The spirit is among them,
though, and they appear to be affected as
other sinners are when under influence. If
afithing is accomplished among these men
it will be a triumph of Christianity that will
out-weigh the talk of all the infidels in the
world. PIETRO.

DEAR GAZETTE :-—Your item giving the
credit of founding this settlement all to my-
self, does not do justice to the thirty or more
families now living here, all of whom are
eQually entitledto a share of the honor of
founding the town of Norwalk, Florida.
Our town is located, as stated in your no-
tice referred to, about one hundred miles
south of Jacksonville, up the river. The St.
Johns river s north, a fact most any
school boy or girl could tell, though every-
body else seems to have forgotten it.
The St.Johns from Jacksonville to Palatka
is wide, varying from one to six miles in
width; from Palatka to Norwalk it narrows
down in some places to not over one hundred
rods. About six miles above here is Lake
George, which for eighteen miles is from six
to twelve miles. wide; above that the river
for most of the distance is narrow and wind-
ing though navigable for steamers drawing
four feet of water for a hundred miles or
more. r'
Our settlement, likem'ost‘ other new settle-
ments in Florida, is made up mostly of north
ern people, two-thirds Of; them from New
England and New York, all full of energy
and enterprise. Clearing land, plowing,plaut-
ing various crops and setting out orange and
other fruit trees, including lemor’,’ lime, cit-
ron, grape fruit, shaddock, plum, fitr our.-
on:
=vas, also banana plants and grape vines.
Grapes begin ripening here the middle of
=June. By having a right variety 0' can
have grapes ripening from that time to No-
vember, and at no time of the year is it nec-
essary, after once established, to be out of a
good variety of .ripe fruit.
; My friends at the north write me that
;tl1ey are having avery'cold winter and a
great deal of snow; here we have had more
,cold weather than before in many years,
and yet the coldest weather we have would to
you in Connecticut have seemed warm and.
delightful.
To the marl-:et gardeners here this will
probably prove an unprofitable, at least 1053
profitable winter than usual, on account of
his vegetables being damaged so many times
by frost. The others the cold has done little
injury, and to those prepared for it, has been
really cnjbyablc, allowing them to gather
about the fire and imagine themselves enjoy—
ing a New England autumn evening. We
have had an unusual quantity of rain, but
,none too much for the farmers. However,
our unpleasant (cold or wet) weather has cov-
ered a very small portion of the winter, and
most of the time it has been warm and pleas-
not.
Now is our Spring. Vegetation is putting
,on its new dress, and everything begins to
look fresh and new, just as it does in Spring
time in New England, only here there is more
luxuriancc and vegetation has more of a trop-
ical look.
Although we have so much here to enjoy,
you must not, as many do before they get
here, think we have nothing disagreeable, no
inconveniences or annoyances. We have plen-
‘ty of them all. Florida in reality is-a new
country, and one to start a clearing here must
expect to live a pioneer life for at least a year
or two. L. K.

AMERICAN Bass in ENGLAND._—TI1C Man-
chester Guardian remarks. The importation
of fresh meat from America is rapidly be—
coming a most important branch of trade,
and it is expected that in a short time, when
the arrangements d thc\varions steamship
lines between New York and Liverpool are
completed, the shipments to the English mar-
ket will be so extensive as to cause a very
sensible and welcome fall in the prices. Ex-
perience shows that the quality of the Amer-
ican beef is in no way inferior ’to that of
beef of home growth, and, as regards price,
it can be sold at a profit to the importers, as
rates vary from two pence to three pence per
pound (retail) below those charged for ordi-
nary tcher’s meat, With such advantages
,on it '
1dc as excellence of quality and cheap-
ncss of price,thc American beef isfast-making
its way; at present the weekly supply which
reaches Liverpool is about six hundred tons.
The greater portion of this is at once de-
spatchcd to‘ London, where it is taken by
West End clubs and other leading institu-
tions. The remainder is sent to Birmingham
—where the result has been a decrease of two
pence per pound in English beef—Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield and other towns. The
Queen has written an autograph letter to a
shipper in America who may be regarded as
the pioneer of the trade, expressing Her Maj-
esty’s cntirc satisfation with the sample joint
which was forwarded to her, and the Prince
of Wales, the Lord Mayor and other persons
of influence have endorsed Her Majesty‘s
opinion.

Eggs as an Article of Diet.
There is no article of food more .whole-
some and nutritious than that supplied by
eggs. There is a difference in their flavor
and quality, owing to the difference in the
diet of the birds; yet there are no eggs of
winged creatures which are unfit for nourish-
ing the humam body. Their chemical com-
position is nearly the same, for the white and
yolk are almost invariable present ; and
these consist, in the first case. of albumen
and water. Eggs require for digestion about
as much time as mutton—that is, from three
to four hours. They are most readily digest-
cd when boiled until the white becomes
partially consolidated.
An ordinary hen’s egg weighs from one
and a half to two ounces ; a duck's egg from
two to three ounces ; the egg of the sea gull
and the turkey from three to four ounces,
and the e g of the goose from four to six
ounces. he solid matter and the oil in the
ducks egg exceed those in a hen’s egg by
about one-fourth. Accordin 0 Dr. Edward
Smith. in his treatise on “ oods," an egg,
weighing an ounce and three quarters; con-
sists of 120 grains of carbon and 185,1 grains
of nitrogen, or 15-25 per cent. of carbon, and
2 per cent. of nitrogen.
A writer in the Scientific Farmer estimates
that the value of one pound of eggs as food
for sustaining the active forces of the body
is to the value of one pound of lean beef as
1,584 to 990. As a flesh producer,one pouhd
of eggs is about equal to one pound of beef.
A hen may be calculated to consume one
°cn or eighteen pounds of eggs. This is equiv-
alent to saying that three and one-tenth
pounds of corn will produce, when fed to a
hen, one pound of eggs. A pound of pork,
on the contrary, requires about five and one-
third pounds of corn for its production-
thu eggs are twenty-four cents a dozen,
and pork ten cents a pound, we have a bush-
el of corn fed producing $2.88 worth of eggs
and $1.05 of pork.
, Judging from these facts, eggs must be
economical in their production and in their
eating, and especially fitted for the laboring
man in replacing meat. '
The Pyramids.
The immense stones used in the erection of
the Pyramids of Egypt were obtained from
the quarries in the Arabian hills, and were
carried to the river, and over a bridge of
boats. They were then brought forward by
means of a causeway, which of 1tse1f took
ten years to construct, and which is said to
have been afinc work withits polished stones
and figures of animals engraved upon them.
One hundred thousand men were employed
at a time, and these were relieved by the
same number at the end of three months. A
long time was spent in the levelling of the
rock on which the edifice stands, and twenty
years for the erection of the pyramid itself.
The stones were raised step by step by means
of a machine made of short pieces of wood,
and, last of all, commencing from the top,
the stones were cemented together with a lay-
er of cement not thicker than a piece of
paper, the strength of which is proved by
the age of these enormous memorials.
”
Southern, who is noted for his love of
hoaxing, frequently has the tables turned
upon himself. Upon his recent arrival in
San Francisco, William J. Florence and
Barton Hill of the California theater met
him at the station and drove him to thercity
prison, which might be mistaken for a hotel
building, and keeping him earnestly engaged
in conversation got him to sign his name upon
the lock-up register, and the captain of the
jail promptly assigned him quarters in the
cell for “misdemeanor drunks." The situa-
tion then revealed itself to Dundreary, who
made a bolt for out~of—doors amid much
laughter. '
Mr. Zachariah Chandler knows a good
thing when he sees it. He has put up in
his office a recent cartoon, representing him
as holding a big elephant, labelled, “The
Republican Party,” by the tail, as it was
falling through a bridge into the chasm it was
papers will recollect the sturdy secretary,
bestriding the chasm with' a colossal foot
planted on either brink, stood gripping the
tail of the elephant with both hands, while
a bottle was within easy reaching distance.
Says the secretary: "That's the best car-
toon that was ever published. Icall the
President’s attention to it,and convinced him
from my position and grip that, unless those
rocks crumbled, I would certainy land the
elephant. But the thing that bothers me,”
he continued, “is to understand how in the
world I could let go my grip long enough to
get at that bottle.”

“Jones, have you heard of the fire that
burned up the man’s house and lot."
“No, Smith, where was it i"

_“What a misfortune to him!

“ Yes, a nice house and lot—a good home
for any family."
“ What a pity! How did the fire take?”
“The man played with fire and thought-
lessly set it himself." ‘
“How silly 1 Did you say the lot was

“ Yes. lot and all;

“ ' ‘hul. is singular. It must have been a
terrible hot fire—and then I don’t see howit
could have burned the lot.” .
“ No, it was not a very hot fire Indeed it
was so small that it attracted but little atten—
tion, and did not alarm any body.”
“ But how could such a little the burn up
a house and lot. '3 You have n't told me."
“ lt burned a long time—more than twenty
years. And though it- seemed to consume
very slowly, yet. it wore away about one hun-
dred and fifty dol‘ars’vworth every year, till
it was all gone."

where the fire was kindled and all about it.”

worth at least ten per cent. and at that rate
would double once in about seven years. So
that the whole sum would be more than $20-
000. That would buy a fine house and lot in
any city. It would pay for a large farm in
the country. Don’t vou pity the family of a
man who has slowly llnrned up their home?"
“ \Vhew! I guess you mean me, for I
have smoked for more than twenty years:
but it didn't cost me so much as that, and I
haven't any house of my own. Have always
rented—thought I was too poor to own a
house, and all because I have been burning it
up. What a fool I have been!” ‘
The boys had better never set a fire that
costs so much, and which, though so easily
put out, is yet so likely, if once kindled, to
keep burning all their lives.
Origin of the Omnibus.
_ The long coachcalled an omnibus, with the
entrance behind, and the seats along the side
facing each other, originated in Paris in 1827,
and in 1831 it began to come into use in Lon-
don. In largc cities it is found the most eco-
nomical form of carriage, except those run.
ning on rails, for conveying the largest num-
ber of passengers through the streets. In
Paris the public omnibuses are numerous
and commodious, though their procress is
slow as compared with those of London.
One company has a municipal monopoly, and
owns all the lines. The omnibuses on the
several lines are of different colors, and the
lines arclettered from A to Z, and from A B
to A Z. In 1872 there were in London about
1,500 omnibuses, employing nearly 7,000 per-
sons. The number was formerly much larger
in proportion, for in 1844 one company em-
ployed 1,400 omnibuses; but a large part of
the city and suburban travel is now carried
on tram ways and underground railways. In
New York City one was made in 1830, and
run upon Broadway. In 1858 the number of
these coaches employed upon various lines
was 429. ,This was a considerable reduction
from the number of former years, owing to
the construction of horse-railroads; and by
1873 the number was redueed to about 200.—

T1111. PULsa.~—Evet'y person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse in
‘ health ; then by compziring it with what it is
When ailing, 11c may have some idea of the,
urgency of his case. Parents should know
the healthy pulse of each child, as now and
then a person is born with a peculiarly slow
or fast pulse, and the very ease in hand may
be of that peculiarity. An infant’s pulse is
140; achild of seven about 80, and from
twenty to sixty years it is 70 beats ’nute,
declining to 60 at fourscore. A h althful
grown person beats 70 times in a minute;
there may be good health at 60, but if the
pulse always exceeds 70, there is a disease ;
the machine is working itself out; there is a
fever or inflamation‘ somewhere,and the body
is feeding on itself, as in consumption, when
the pulse is quick, that is, over seventy,
gradually increasing, with decreased chances
of cure, until it reaches 110 or 120, when
death comes before many days. When the
pulse is over 70 for months, and there is a
slight cough, the lungs are affected. The
pulse decreases when a recumbent position is
assumed for any length of time, and is in-
creased by exercise, stimulants, and the pres-
ence Of food in the stomach.

The best in the Market. Warranted to give satis-
North Avenue, is now fully prepared to execute
Cross-Examining Witnesses.
-A quick and ready wit is an almost indis-
pensable endowment in a good crossexamining
counsel, but the quickest and readiest some-
times finds his match.
“Oh, you. say this gentleman was about
fifty-five,” said Canning to a pert young wo-
man in the witness box, “and I suppose now
you consider yourself a pretty good judge of
ages, eh? Ah, just so. Well, now, how old
should you take me to be ?”
“Judging by your appearance, sir,” replied
the witness, I should take you to be about
sixty.- .By your questions I should suppose
you were about sixteen."
Whether Counsel had any more questions
for this lady is not recorded.
“Now,” began another learned genthamau,
‘ rising slowly from among his professional
brethren, arid looking very profound, “now
are you prepared to swear that this mare was
three years old ?”
“Swear ?” returned the stableman in the
box, “yes, I’ll swear she was.”
“And pray, sir, upon what authority are
you prepared to swear it i” '
“What autority ?” echoed the witness.
“Yes, sir, upon what authority? You are
to give me an answer, and not repeat my
question.” ,
“I don’t see as a man can be expected to
answer a question before he has had time to
turn it over."
“Nothing can be simpler than the question
put to you. Upon what authority, I repeat,
do you swear to this animal’s age 1’”
“On very good authority."
“Then why this evasion? Why not state
it at once 2'” .
“Well, if you must have it"
“Must have it i” interrupted the man of
law, “I will have it.”
“Well, then, if you must and will have it,"
said the ostler, with deliberate gravity, I had
it from the mate's own mouth.
A particularly witty reply was once made
by a well-known English architect, who had
been giving an important’opinion, and whose
professional status Mr. Serjeant Garrow, the
opposing counsel, was anxious to depreciate.
“You are a builder, I believe,” began the
serjeant.
“No, sir, I am not a builder; I am an arch-
itect.”
“Ah, well, builder or achitect, architect
or builder, they are pretty much the same, I
suppose."
“I beg your pardon, sir, I can’t admit that,
I consider them to be totally different.”
“0h, indeed, perhaps you will state where-
in this great difierence consists.”
“An architect, sir, conceives the design,
prepares the plan, draws out the specifica-
tions-; in short, supplies the mind. The
builder is merely the machine ; the archi-
tect the power that puts the machine togeth-
er and sets it going.”
“011, very well, Mr. Architect, that will
do: a very ingenious distinction without a
«difference. Do you happen to know who
was the architect of the Tower of Babel ?" -
“There was no architect, sir," replied the
witness, “hence the confusion there.”
A New Question in Astronomy.
He lives on West Adams street, and, like
most little boys, is given to asking a great
many questions. Wandering with his mother
in the door—yard the other evening, he drew
her attention to one of the bright luminaries
of the sky, and asked:
“11:10, what star is that—the pretty,uice one,
there i"
“That, my son,” said the mother,
Mars.”
The next evening a boarding-school miss
from over the way came in, as the family was
enjoying the out-door air, and our little as-
tronomer at a favorable moment, pointing to
the celestial body named, inquired:
“Do you know what star that is P"
“No—what is it ?” said the young lady.
“That’s Mars,” proudly replied the little
five-year-old. ‘
“Is that so ?” remarked the accomplished
miss, innocently—“Ma’s? Then where if
Pa’s .9”
And the youthful star-gazer, bewildered by
the unexpected boarding-school conundrum,
had to give it up.—C’Iu'cago Eccm'ng Journal.
“IS
A Deceptive Widow.
James Robbins, of National avenue, has
been missing for three days, but there is no
anxiety around his house to learn his fate.
His wife knows what caused him to disappear
and she is willing to let him get a good ready
to come back. Robbins marrieda lone widow
about four months ago’ and they had not been
wedded two weeks more when he gave her
a beating. She overlooked it then, thinking
he would soon tone down, but in a week more
he blacked her eyes. In brief, Robbins turn-
ed out to be a brute of a husband, and the ex-
widow had the sympathy of all the neighbors.
She "is said to be meek and humble in spirit,
and Robbins had no excuse for his brutality.
Four or five days ago he knocked .her down
and started off up town, and the wife crawl-
ed over to a butchers, to see about having
Robbins arrested. The butcher, who weighs
one hundred and ninety pounds and has a fist
like a maul, knew a better way than going to
the police, and he unfolded a plan.
When Robbins reached home that evening
the house was dark, and the butcher, dressed.
in womans clothes and with his jaws tied up
sat in the rocking chair.
“Why in blazes isn’t supper ready?” howl-
ed Robbins as he stood in the door.
The butcher groaned.
“Grunting around again, are you ?” shou t-
ed Robbins. “What’s the matter now i"
The butcher groaned again.
“You feel too higlrtoned to answer me, do
you ?” growled the wife beater. “Well we’ll
see about that. Just take this will you 2’”
He struck out, but the disguised butcher
caught his wrist, sprang up, and there was
fun in that cottage. .He chockcd Robbins
almost to death, tied him up in hard knots
and untied him, drew him round by the heels
and hair, and finally picked him up and toss-
ed him over the fence into the mud. The
wife-beater had kept up a steady howl from
the first attack, and as he rose from the mud
sped down the street he seemed to think
that Sitting Bull’s whole fighting force were
after him. At eleven o’clock that night he
entered a Michigan avenue saloon and told a
story about six men robbing him, and half an
hour latter, as he wis prowling around a shed
to find a place to sleep, a policeman heard
him saying.
“ Nose smashed, eyes bungee up, sore
throat, bruised all over and awful sleepy 1
What a deceiving person a widow woman
is . ’
At times a tramp appears with a story and
a “make up” which betray genius. Of this
class one of the most original ever seen in
this city was the man who used to stand at
street corners and pour forth floods of tears
with the same facility that distinguished
‘fJob Trotter," his only intelligible exclama-
tion being, “Hungry, so hungry.” Contin-
ued success at length made him hold. A
gentleman one day. moved by his evident
distress took him into a restaurant, thinking
to give him for once in his life a square meal.
The fellow ate heartily and left with profuse
expressions of gratitude. Not an hour after
the same gentleman saw the tramp whose
paunch he had just filled, in a different local-
ity, standing on a corner in the old attitude,
and indulging in the usual lachrymose plaint.
“You rascal,” said the gentleman, making up
to him, “how dare you whine this way after
eating such a dinner as I gave you ?” The
tramp was at first at a loss for an answer, but
recovering his_equanimity, he cried out with
great sang frozd, “Why, old fellow, how-dy-
do ?"—Trz'bune.
