I
The President.
B ARRAOLOUGH.
Hark! listen, the very air is rent,
As the sad news o'er the wires are sent
Wait, listen again;
It says our noble President. is slain.
The nation stunned as by a palsicd stroke,
Can it be true or is it a cruel joke.
Listen i listen! again, 'yes, yes, ’tis true,
Shot by an assassin through and through.
The gates of hell were ope'd wide
Since rebellion was at full tide.
Not the cannons roar or the musketries rattle,
Not patriots dying, on the field of battle
We are at peace the nation round,
No great grief can now be found.
Heaven has smiled on all the land,
Dispensing blessings onevery band.
From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
The nation is blessed as ne’er before.
Political faction and political strife,
Surged against the nation’s life
Is hushed to silence, earnest and grave,
In the intensest hope, our President to save.
The sturdy farmer, lord of the soil, ,
The humble, honest, son of toll. -
The lettered sage, the good, the great,
Earnestly, sincerely, mourn his fate.
Hail to our chief, the nation's pride,
May he still live to be our safest guide.
Then peals of gratitude from a mighty throng,
Shall ascend in a universal song.
For a redeemed brighter prospect then be-
fore us,
All nations shall join in the chorus.

AN EXPRESS COMPANY.
SOME FAMOUS ROBBERIES.
The $50,000. Mahoney Case and
Great Westport Safe Robbery.
TOLD BY A- VETABAN IN Till BUSINESS.
“Responsibility that begins as soon as a,
package is receipted for and only ends when
it is delivered to the consignee, is about the
substance of the express business," said an
old hand at it, in response to a gentle intima-
tion that he was expected to become the talk
ing part of an interview. "Now, it seems a
very simple thing to receive a package at the
counter here, and send it with a lot of others
to be put in a separate car run by the com-_
pany, and taken to New York, and there‘
delivered at a certain street and number. It
is beautifully simple in theory like every
other great organized system of public service
in private hands, but just think what has to
be done with'a package from Hartford to
New York, a very easy case. It is receipted
for and entered on the way bill, and when
the messenger calls to take the goods he
checks off everything on the way bill, and his
check makes a receipt, and then it is receipt-
ed for at the New‘York office and by the
carrier who takes it out, and then finally by
the person who receives it. Besides all this a
separate way bill is sent to New York, and
this way bill is copied.
"There isn’t much chance of losing any-
thing then f” '
“Not much. If a piece goes wrong, the
way bill shows it,and the messengers receipts
show who had it last."
OAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE.
. “You see," continued the official medita-
tively, “the business has to be run so that
things cannot helos or stolen with impunity.
The company is responsible from the time it»
signs a receipt. just as I said at the start.
There has got to be a system that will just as
far as possible prevent every kind of care—
lessness. Get a check on the work wherever
you can and then live up to the rules. Doing
that with care and enery the busineso is a
good business, just as safe and steady as
banking, but it is liable -to a sudden pull
through the loss of a heavy money package
or some single article of exceptional value
just as a bank may have a run started on it.
Of course such a thing is almost necessarily
the result of a robbery, and in such cases the
company pays the owners on the spot and
then spares no pains or expense to detect and
convict. If it can recover the property so
much the better, but thatjs a secondary con-
sideration.
“They find that way pays best in the,long
run, I suppose i’” ‘
“Not a doubt of it. The only way is to.
make these fellows afraid to try."
“Still they do sometimes.”
“Not so much since the thing got to be un-
derstood, but there have been a good many
cases first and last."
ABOUT scam fixrmms consumes.
“For instance, there was a case a good
many years ago, now, where a young man
disappeared from a Connecticut office during
the progress of an investigation that had been
started on account of losses in his office. He
took only a few hundred dollar's'when he left
and thc;curious .IIIIUSJI}. the .casewas that
when he was taken'at'last', iaflcr being under
the eye of the detective for three weeks, just
waiting for- the wOrd toga on, he would 'no
believe that he had not been stumbled on ac-
cidentally, and kept asking about it until the
superintendent told him pretty much every«
thing he had done since he started away with
the money.” '
“Then there was a queer theft of over $3,-
0001aken by almessenger of the company who
had formerlybeen in a lunatic asylum, but
was supposed to be cured. When he was ur-
rested he confessed, and it appeared that he
had $30 on hand, had spent $15. and had
burned the rest. He showed the place where.
ashes and fragments of the notes were found
A description of the'noteSYhad been kept,and
there was a reissue, so that the loss was not
great in that instance.” .
“Then there was the great Mahoney case
in which it was a tough fight between the de-
tectives and the thief who had been agent of
the company at Montgomery Ala. He got
$10,000 first, and then, after being suspected
and getting clear, took $40,000 more. He.
traveled all about the countrymith that men-
ey going by expressin an old trunk that
wasn’t even locked, and all: the time the dc;
tcctives were watching him and trying' to find
the cash. It costs fortune, but at last he was
arrested on suspicion after . he had come‘ to
New York,and While he was in prison his wife
went south and got_the money where it had
been left in the same trunk in the lumber
room of a hotel. In the meantime a detec-
tive had been arrested and put with him in
prison, and after a while Mahoney not only
told all about it, but made his wife deliver up
the money to this man to be used as he saw
fit in getting Mahoney off. . He was sentenced
for twenty years I believe, but got out when
the southern jails were opened during the
war and disappeared.” .

“That last was a very remarkable affair,
but it happened a good way off. The West-
pOrt robbery was right here at home. I sup-
pose you know about that ‘i”
The interviewer was oblige to confess that.
his knowledge of the case was rather misty
and secretly rejoiced that he had not to be
more specific.
_ “Well, it was a great case. On the night
of April 16, 1860, the company's safe was
thrown from the cars just after leaving
Westport and the loss was not dis.
covered till the . train reached New
York. In the place of the safe was a
wooden box made to look like it, and in the
safe that was thrown off was $16,000 in
money. Three days after the safe was found
with the bottom knocked out and the contents
gone. Ordinarily speaking, there-was noth-
ing to show how the thing had happened.
The only persons who had been in the car as
far as known were the through baggage mas-
ter, the express agent and the mail clerk.

»‘>
The latter had aroom in the middle of thecar
and each of the others occupied one of the
ends."
Tun Durnorrvss’ wonx.
“At a very'early stage in the inquiry the
detectives were convinced that some one on
the ' train must have been concerned in the
robbery, either one of the three men just
mentioned or the conductor,and that the bag-
gageman was niost probably the one. This
was only hypothesis, but it proved to be cor-
rect. A ‘shadow’ was put on the man as
soon as he left the train every day, and after
a time a detective was put on as brakeman, so
that he was constantly under observation.
All his motions and almost his thoughts were
at the mercy of this organized espionage.
Through this watch all his associates were
*kdown, and as suspicion turned to one or an-
other shadows were put on them. Part of
the stolen money was traced as coming from
the men'who had been already sufficiently
indicated by the facts gleaned in an inquiry
which lasted for months. Four men were
found to have been concerned, Louis Steb-
bias, :1 baggagemap of the train, Porter Kel-
logg, who lived in Amherst, .Mass., Kinney,
a New Yorker, and Andrew L. Roberts."
‘ Tun ARRESTS.
“It was thought desirable to arrest them
all at the same time and arrangements were
made to do this but were very near being de-
feated at the last. . The superintendent of the
Adams cOmpany had made his arrangements,
got the papers on which; to found a requi—
sition on the governor of Massachusetts, and
telegraphed Governor Buckinghamfor an in-
terview in the evening. He took the train,
met the governor and found the requisition
could not be'obtained on account of a defect
in one of: {the papers. It was very near the
day set for the arrests and he just bad time
to have the papers corrected, meet Governor
Buckingham in Hartford and then on the
day that had been set for securing the men
made an appointment with Governor Banks.
The Connecticut sheriff who was to make
the‘arrest was to meet him on his return. at
Palmer and they were to go together to
Amherst, but when his train got to Palmer
there were the sheriff and the'prisoner, who
had come without waiting for the papers,
which indeed proved unnecessary,.and he
was formally arrested after. the train entered
the state. .
CATCHING A TARTAR.
“One of the men belonged to the notorious
The. Allen gang, whose desperate character
Was so well understood that when he was ar-
rested in New York,"hc wastaken promptly
and quietly to Brooklyn, and the “gang"
looked for him in vain.” After awhile he
agreed to turn state’s evidence, but his asso-
ciations caused no end of anxiety, and as the
time for the trial approached there was a
Bridgeport safely. The authorities would
not risk taking him through New York, and
at last he was removed by carriage and boat
to a station some distance out of New York,
and on his arrival at Bridgeport kept at a pri-
vate house till the trial came on.”
A DRAMATIC scams AT THE TRIAL.
“While the trial was in progress nothing
was seen of him until the time when his evi-
cence was wanted. It was apart of the plan
to keep him up to this moment from any com-
munication with his associates. As it hap
pened there was a private entrance to the
judges withdrawing room, and through this
he was taken into that room and when his
.name was called passed out immediately be—
hind the judge and to his place in the witness
stand without coming near any One of the men
from whom he was to be kept separated. 'The
effect as he suddenly appeared from this.un-
expected quarter was electrital. It had been
ahard fought trial with everything done for
the accused that could be by plenty of money
and active support, but this practically fin-
ished it.’
now THE ROBBERY WAS MANAGED.
_ “The robbery was not as important in the
amount of money secured as it might easily
have been. At that time, on account of the
system of state banks with all degrees of
credit, large bank balances were sent between
New York and Beston, and the amount in the
safe of the Adams company was often several
times as large as on this occasion. The
scheme had been long meditated, and with
the assistance ofjthe baggageman involved no
very great difficulty, except for the presence
of the express messenger, whose duty it was
to remain in his part of the car. He had.
however, got into a way of spending more Or
less time in the postal room, as that was
heated and his was not.”
This habit;was counted on, the baggageman
had the “dummy’, safe made and kept it for
some time in a closet in his part of the car.
The night the attempt was to be made he
oiled the slide of the door in the express room
so that it should ,move easily and without
noise. His confederates got ‘on the train
at Westport and just before the train reached
the draw this side of Norwalk opened the
door, threw off the safe, put the wooden box
in its place and got off.
. wnAT nArrausD AFTERWARDS.
“Of course they were sent to the state
prison except the 'one who gave his evidence
and saved himself in that way, but there was
a curious afterpicc’e to the affair. Part of the
money taken consisted of ten $500 notes
on one Of the state banks of Boston. The
bank had issued only twenty of these notes
and nineteen of them were traced, those
which had passed through the Hands of the
thieves furnishing an important element in
working up thc'case. The last one could not
be fo'undthough it was supposed to be in the
possession Of Kellogg,th'e Amherst man cf the
gang. He was sentenced to thestate prison
for three years, and when aboufiwo years of
his sentence was passed distinguished himself

superintendent of the express "company
in Hartford to know if he would
refgain from opposing the petition. NO
definite answer was given, but it was said
that the company did not feel that it had rc-
covered all it shouldtom the robbery and
special mention was made of the $500 note.
In the end it was sent by Griswold in an
envelope with a statement that. he would
never give it up to the company but would
deliver it to the superintendent as an indi-
vidual.”
“There,,I didn’t mean to talk all the after-
noon, but an old hand at the business has got
as many [yaruslas a sailor, and‘when he be-
gins to talk you never can tell when he will
stop. If everybody that was interviewed had
as much to say, intuviewing would have to

How to Eat Lemons.
Most people know the benefit of lemonade
before bnakfast, but few know how it is more
than doubled by taking another at night,
also. The way to get the better; of a bilious'
without bluepills or quinine, is to take
take the juice of one, -two or three
lemons, as the appetite craves, in as much
ice-water as makes it pleasant to drink,
without sugar, before going to bed. In the
morning on rising, or at least half an hour
before breakfast, take the juice'of one lemon
in a gOblet of water. This will clear the
system of humors of bile, with mild efiieacy,
without any of the weakening effects of cal-
omel or Congress water. People should not
irritate the stomach by eating the lemons
clear; the powerful acid of the juice which.
is almost corrosive, irlfallibly produces in—
flammation after a while; but properly di-
luted, so that it does not burn or draw the
throat, it does its full medical work without
harm, and when the stomach is clear of food
has abundant opportunity to work on the
system thoroughly.

the number of pints and quarts for which he
was in arrears. Whena person was indulg-
ing too freely in his potations a friend would
exelaim, pointing to the chalk score, “mind

Two excellent temperance laws were re-
cently sent to the Governor for his approval.
One to prevent the sale of liquor within three
miles of any school in the State, except in
cities of the first and second class, unless
petitions signed by a majority Of the adult
residents of the ward or township, malcand
female, ask for the privilege. The other
provides that if a majority of a county vote
no license it shall be unlawful to issue a
license to sell liquor in a given township
where a majority may have voted'favorably
to license. ,
Both of these are exallent laws, and show
that the senate, though refusing to give us
the constitutional amendment is not wholly
averse to the temperance cause—Arkansas

They have asevere liquor law in Mississip-
pi. Each saloon keep or retail dealer in
liquors is required to give a bond of $2,000
and is liable in that sum if he sells any liquor
between 12 o’clock Saturday night and 12
o'clock Sunday night, or on election day, or
sells to any minor or intoxicated person,_or
permits any card playing or game of chance,
even for amusement. The prosecuting wit-
ness receivc‘re half the penalty, whether
he be a public ofiicer or a private citizen.
But Mississippi has repealed its just law re-
meu to petition for licensing liquor shops.
American Credit Abroad.
One of the most significant results connect-
ed with the attack upon the President is its
effect upon American credit in London,where
the financial pulse of the world beats most
clearly and plainly. When the news, in its
dent had been shot and was dying, reached
that city, noone would have been surprised
to see American securities at all sorts, na-
tional, state and private, tumble for the
time. Such a result would have been natu-
rsl to the timidity of capital, for it has been
forcibly said that nothing is more cowardly
than a million of dollars—excepting two
millions. But, odly enough, no sooner had
the news become generally known than
American securities rose from three to five
points, and there remained until news was
covery, when they fell again to their former
level.
This curious fluctuation was plainly enough
due to the rush immediatly made to the city
by English operatives who, knowing the in—
trinsic value of American securities, and ex-
pecting that their original holders would be
panic-struck and willing to sell, were on
their part anxious to buy. But the holders
were not, as it happened, panic struck at all,
and showed no disposition to sell out on any
terms, so that the only reslflt of the eager
bidding of the would-be buyers was to tem-
porarily bull the market.
Straws show which way the wind blows,
and this is only another of the very large
straws which have of late years showed a
strong disposition in capital all over the
world to seek a refuge in the United States.
It cannot be too emphatically or too often
noted that this is the only country in the
world which is absolutely without fear of a
foreign war. It is removed by its distance -
from any great risk of collision with Euro.
pean powers, and its strength from any risk
of collision with its near neighbors, Canada
and Mexico. It has no.need to tax its people
for the maintenance of enormous armiesor
iron clad fleets,.without which a European
state would be about as safe as a raw beef
steak in a den Of hungry hyenas; and for
every reason it has the one quality beloved
by capital—it is eminently safe. The only
argument ever adduced against it was its
weakness and supposed'inability to deal with
domestic disorders; and this has'been dis-
proved. first, by the manner in which it sup-
pressed a rebellion which would have been
fatal to almost any other government, and,
second, by the energy with which itdealt in
all its departments with the railroadstrikes
and communistic disorders of 1877: Lon,-
don and New York are already on a fair
level, and within twenty years we shall
begin to see an exodus more significant than
the negro exodus from the South. The
Rothschilds, Barings, and others, who only
settled in London because it was “safer” than
Frankfort, have now their secondary offices
in New York and will soon have their prima-
ry offices there. Today the United States,
if it desired to put out a fresh loan of $2,-
000,000,000, would be promptly and gladly
accommOdated ;. and within twenty years, if
England, Russia, .or Germany desires a new
loan, it will have to come to New York city
to market it.

A Naughty Cup.
A some ON The sTAcE or A nosrorv TnnA'rnn.
Boston Post.
It was in the first act of "La Mascotte"
that the prince dropped a large tin cup in the
center of the stage, right where it was in the
way. Miss Martinot soon found it so and
her foot gave it a vigorous push. Now that
cup was smaller at one end than the other.
Result: It rolled in a circle and came right
back to the point .where it started from and
,‘thosewho observed, it smiled. .Then Miss
Ulmar'noticcd it and bestowed a kick upon
the offending cup, .and the cup performed
another circle as before. More folks smiled
then. In a few 'minutes Miss Martinot 0b-.
served that‘the cup wasstill there, andhelng
determined to remove it, gave it an" spihitcd'
little kick that made it roll’very fast and get
brck to its original position in double quick
time. Then some fellow up in the gallery
laughed, and the fair Sadie bestowed a look
of distrust upon thevcup and left it. But
when Miss Ulmar came around again she was
resolved to bounce it, and the cup again rev-
eled in the enjoyment of e. kick from her
dainty slipper. The cup rolled right back as
though it wanted more. and several people
in the audience tittered as they saw her ob«
serve the result of. her experiment. Then
Miss Grayson came on and about the first
thing that she did was to find out that the-
cup wanted to stay, and wouldn’t be kicked
off. And Mr. Frothingham entered and dealt
it a kick so manly that we couldn’t help wish-
ing the cup was a book agent, or some fellow
who has a bill against us. And he saw how
the' thing worked too. And by that time a
lot of spectators were interested in the com-
bat, and two follows in the balcony bet on
the result, odds being on'the cup.- Every-
body who came on and saw the' cup seemed
to want to kick it. Seth Crane and Allen
took a whack at it, and they didn’t seem to
get a bit of sympathy from those who had'
tried it before, and ti. audience applauded
the cup. and that riled the company so they
kicked the thing every chance they could get
and so did the'chorus when it came on; and .
the contest became wildly exciting as the act
neared the close. At one time it looked as
though the company might win, but the cup
rallied, and when the Curtain went down
there it lay in the very center of the bafiied
performers, and the drop having fallen,‘ a
stalwart stage hand had to be called upon to
stoop, pick up the drafted thing and lug it
the battle to the strong.
Treading Water.
Mr. Henry MacCormac,who recently urged
in Nature “treading water" to prevent drown-
ing, thus replies to correspondents who rec—
ommend teaching swimming in preference:
Let those who will go in for swimming, and
I wish sincerely that every one could swim.
Trending water, hOwever, conducts at once
to swimming. Everyone can tread water
who likes. It is justas easy, if we only.

Ferns.
If you have a shady corner of your garden
which you wish to beautify,grow ferns there.
They are not all difficult to raise and they
thrive where no flowers would condescend
to prosper; but certain requisites! they must
have, and one of these is moisture. They
smile in the face of a northern aspect; great
branching trees, too, to which flowers are
always antagonistic, do not disturb them in
the least. Give them a, pile of stones or
bricks to creep upon, with a few rough logs
or branches mixed in. Thei: own native
soil is undoubted the best; but ferns will do
well in a made soil, composed of loam, peat,
or leaf mdld, and river sand in equal parts.
Great care should be taken not *to wedge the
plants into small crevices; and in planting
to consider their various needs. Tall, up-
right ferns require depth of earth to flourish
in; those that have surface, creeping rhizo-
mas want something to cling to; and those
with funderground, spreading rhizomes de-
mand room and space to develop their
individuality. Also proper drainage must
be previded for,as superabundant water will
injure the roots. Ivy, which will grow any-
where, adds greatly to the effect of the fern
patch.
, A J IIng of Character.
A few of the broad distinctions Of physi-
Ognomy depend on the forms of the features,
but all its nicer shades have far more to do
with expressions; and in this, indeed, the
real character is often seen where the com-
formation of the features seem to contradict
it. , There are some general and well-known
rules for the determination Of physioguomi-
cal character, as far as it has to do with the
shapes, of the features; the- aquilinc nose.
and eye, for instance, belong to the heroic
class, thick lips to the sensual,- and thin to
the selfish; [yet ,these may ,all be liable
to many exceptions—the first certainly are;
for Nelson, Wolfe, Turenne. and many other
heIoes had nothing of the eagle physiognomy.
It is natural to associate beauty 'with good-
ness, and ugliness with wickedness; and
children generally do this. But an acquaint-
ance with the world soon shows us that bad
and selfish hearts maybe concealed under
the handsomest features, an the h'yhest
virtues under the homelies ; and that
goodness may even consist with conforma-
tions of face actually ugly. We then begin
to look for the (hamster in the expression
rather than in the forms of the features; and
to distinguish assumed' expressions from
natural ;ones; and so we go on, and, as we
grow older, become better physiognomists,
though .wa never arrive at a certainty of
judgment which seems nof to be intended we
ever should.

The summer comes and the summer goes;
Wild flo wers are fringing the dusty lanes,
The swallows go darting through fragrant
rams, '
And all of a sudden—it snows.
Dear heart, our lives so happily flow, ,
So lightly we heed the flying hours,
We only know winter is gone—by flowers;
We only know winter has come—by the snow. .

SCIENTIFIC MISCELL’AllI
A Hanover chemical establishment now
supplies carbonic acid in a liquid form in
.cyllnders tested to one hundred atmospheres.
The transportation of the cylinders—loaded
with so enormous a pressure as is required to
liquify the gas—is a matter of indecision
among the railroad companies.
_In a most interesting paper in the Popular
Science Monthly for July, Dr. Thomas D,
Spencer reviews what is known of the end
of life,and endeavors to prove the painlessness
of death‘ The visions of the dying, so often
popularly attributed to glimpses into the
mysteries of the future world, he maintains -
are shown in the light of scientific fact to be
mereyl the wanderings of a fast disorgani—
zing brain. The asphyxia produced by burn-
ing charcoal is Often accompanied by dis-
turbed fancies, similar to those preceding
death, and the natural inference is that they
both result from one and the same cause. In
a semi—conscious stupor, the dying man’s
thoughts, takinging no note Of the present,
revert to‘ the past, and he seems to live his
life over again. Old-time friends and scenes
cluster around him in a vision so vivid as to
cause a spasmodic actionof the body, attract-
ing the attention Of the awe-stricken by-
standers to these fantasies of his own brain.
Thus some pass away as though falling
asleep; others with a sigh, groan or gasp ;
and some with a convulsive struggle; but all
without the agony which is so generally be-
lieved to accompany the departing breath.
In the drowsy stupor of approaching death
pain is doubtless unfelt; and the death—bed
visions, which are of so frequent occurrence,
cannot with our present knowledge he re-
; garded as realities.
For some years Mr. Francis Ghlton, F. R.
' S., has made a study of “composite photo-
graphs,” the curious results of which he has
detailed in a rebent paper read before the
Photographic Society of Great Britain. He
has found that if two or more portraits of
different individuals under exactly the same
conditions are superimposed, the features, if
not absolutely dissimilar, will blend to—
gether and form an idealized pOrtrait,
which may be well seen when the image is
thrown on a magic lantern screen. The pe—
culiarities in the features of any class of in-
dividuals are thus concentrated, as it were,
in one ideal picture. Mr. sGalton believes
that composite photographs may prove valu-
_uble for producing a standard physiognomy
of disease. Portraits of a number of con
sumptive persons were combined; and it was
renragkable hovfa certain nnmber of faces
was almost identical. In a variety of what
he called typical portraits, Mr. Galton show-
ed .that the individuality of each class of
persons represented was strongly brought
out and idealized. He thought composite
photographs might be put to an interesting
use in the production of family likenesses.
The results that are obtained are really sur-
prising.
M. Faunel, of the Paris municipal labora-
tory, has discovered a hitherto unsuspected
source of danger to infants. The milk which‘
is seldomzthoroughly cleaned from the glass
and rubber tubes of the feeding apparatus
undergoes an alteration, and produces a mi-
croscopic vegetable growth in a short time.
This observation was confirmed in 28 out of
31 cage.
It is hoped that the much-mooted question
of sound produced by the aurora may be set-
tled by means of balloon ascents.
To determine the utility of Faure’s new
battery for the storage of electricity, 0 vcry
interesting experiment has been ado in
Paris. A tramcar conveyed forty persons at
the rate of six miles an hour, the motive
power being supplied by 160 Faurc accumu-
lators of eighteen pounds weight each. -The
trial lasted about an hour, and the power of
the motor much diminished, although not
exhausted. As the work pcrformed could
have been done by two horses, the result Was
somewhat less favorable than had been antic-
ipatedg
A colossal pine which was recently up-
rooted by an inundation in Finland was
found to have 1,029 annual rings.
It is estimated that from every square
yard of the sun’s surface as much heat is
emitted hourly as would be produced by the
combustion of six tons of coal. '
In a recent letter, M. de Thier‘sant records
a curious phenomenon witnessed in Guate-
mala during eight days last February. For
some three hours about midday, if one 1001:-
ed in the direction of the sun, there would
be seen, a little distance above the ground,
multitudes of small bodies like snowflakes
flitting past, appearing and vanishing instan-
taneously. Beautiful rainbow colors were
often observed. The temperature having
fallen for some days, many. supposed these
to be fragments of snow formed in the upper
atmosphere. The phenomenon, however,
proved to be a botanical one. It was a
migration of the seeds of certain plants,
which were being distributed by the winds.
The visual effect was similar to that which
occurs when a sunbeam, entering a room,
reveals a multitude of corpuscles invisible
without it. ' ' ‘
What the Bashful Clerk Wanted.
Detroit Free Press.
Old Pinchcm sat in his private office the
other day figuring up his profits for May,
when his head clerk, looking as pale as a
sheep and as red as a cow by turns, entered
and began:
—“Mr. Pinchem, I—I—”
“Have you got those goods off for Kalama-
zoo ?" interrupted the old man.
“Yes, air, they are off. Mr. Pinchem, I
have long—"
“And about that order for starch?"
“That has been attended to, sir. Mr.
Pinchem, 'I have long wanted to speak to
you."
“Ahl speak to me. Why, I thought you
spoke to me fifty times a day,”
“Yes, sir, I know'mt this is a private
alter.”
“Private? Oh 1 Air 1 Wait till I see how
much we made on that last 10,000 pounds of
soap. Six times four are twenty-four; five
times‘two are ten; and two to carry are
twelve ; three times seven are twenty one
and one—ah, well, go ahead; I’ll finish this
afterwards.”
“Mr. Pinchem, I have been with you ten
long years.”
“'1 en, eh! . Long yerrs, eh? Any longer
than any other years? Go ahead."
“And have tried to do my duty.”
“Have, ch 7 Go on."
“And I now make bold—-—"
“Hold on! 'What is there hold about it ?
But never mind—I’ll hear you out."
“Mr. Pinchem, I want to ask—ask—I want
to ask—”
“Well, why don't you ask, then. I don’t
see why you don’t ask, if you w of to."
