A Parisian swell once had a crayon picture of himselfmade, which he af—V forward pretended to find fault with. “It does not bear the slightest re- semblance to me,” said he, and I will not take it.” The artist protested, but all to no avail. After the dandy had left the painter added to the portrait a magnificent pair of asses ears, and exhibited it In the window, thus altered, to the gaze of the curious public. It hadn’t been long exposed when the d-andy entered the artist’s studio in a towering rage, and, finding that ' threats amounted to nothing, he at last offered to buy it, even at a consider; able advance upon the original price. “It wasn’t strange you didn’ t recog- nize your resemblance to the picture at first, " said the painter; “but I knew you’d notice the likeness as soon as I added those earsl”——~Spare Moments.

A Norwalk Boy’s Success in the Sunny . South. The following complimentary notice ofaformerNorwalk boy, now a resi- dent of Maryland, is taken from- the Evening . Capital of Annapolis, Mary- land: “Mr. C. E. Remson has Just succeed- ed' in perfecting the purchase of the stoc r of cows. &c. formerly belonging to Mr. O. C. Gregory. of St. John’s Col- lege. This stock was purchased by. and was the pride of, the late Nicholas Brewer, formeily secretary and treas- urer of the faculty of St. Johns College. Every head of the stock is registered with the American Jersey Cattle Asso- ciation. It is consideied by. people well versed in cattle lore to be the best herd' 1n the State, and will, no doubt, prove a valuable acquisition to his al- ready well stocked dairy farm. Mr. Bemson has been in our community for a number (it years and by strict atten- tion to business has built up a well de- served trade. His dairy farm is one of the finest in this section of the State, and a visit to his stables, perfectly eqipped in every particular, would con- vince anyone that perfectly pure Jersey milk is available to the citizens of Annapolis The large bartfl’and stable from a sanitary pomt of view, is perfect, and his cows are lodged in quarters which might well be envied by many who have ill-ventilated lodgings. Mr. Remson’s farm is located on Green, beiry’s Point, about two miles from Annapolis, over a good road, and a. drive to his place, with the courteous proprietor to Show you about, will pay you for any time and trouble taken.” OW Schley and His Portrait. Speaking of Commodore Schley‘, Lee~ lie’s Weekly says: “Afterhis return from the periloun journey to the arctic regions in search of the Greeley expe- dition, the country thrilled with admi- ration, and there was a great demand for his photograph. One day, while visiting the city if Detroit, the Com- modore, feeling tired on the street, stepped into a saloon to 'ask for .‘1. glass of beer, when he found himself confronted by a fine, lifesize portrait of himself, how on when obtained he could not guess. Being in citizen’s dress, the distingui shed original of the picture turned to tne‘ bai‘keepei' and carelessly asked: ‘Who is that man?’ indicating the portrait. A glowing en- comium upon his own adventure was delivered while he quietly, sipped his refreshment, when, with characteristic enjoyment of the whimsical situation, Schley paid his reckoning and quitted the saloon without betraying his iden- tity to the barkeeper, who had failed to re‘cOgnize in his guest a'likeness of the picture he so highly valued.” ’ A Wonderful Church Choir. In the choir of St. Peter’s, at Rome, there is not a female voice, and yet the most difiicult oratOIios and seeied music written are rendered in such a manner as to make 0 1e think Adelina Patti is leading. The choir is composed of sixty boys. They are trained for the work from the time they get control of their vocal Ichords, and some of the best singers are not over nine years old. At the age of seventeen they are dropped from the choir. To say that in that famous edifice one hears the grandest music the world has ever known sounds commonplace, so far short does it fall of apt description—New York Journal. Wanted to Begln a Record, An anecdote told with keen relish is of the two “bad men” who “shot it out” with Winchester rifles on the Main street of Medora. One of them fell with a bullet in his hip, his rifle dropping out of reach. His antagonist was aiming for the coup de grace when he felt a touch on his arm. Looking around, he saw a meek and venerable old person called “Uncle Billy,” who gained his livelihood by sweeping out a saloon, cleaning the cuspidors and serving an occasional drink. “Jake,” said the old man, imploring- 1y, “let me finish him; I never killed a man yit-l”—Ghicago Record.

Governor Tanner said: “I shall give Captain Craig, who will command the troops at Virden, orders to suppress the riot, protect life and property and to not allow imported labor to be un— loaded at that place, since the mine owners’ have carried out their threats, influenced by avarice and gain, to pre- cipitate this riot and bloodshed. "I do not propose that they shall further disturb the peace of the state. The mine owners and managers” are Hequnsible for and guilty of the mur- der brought about by this conflict and should be indicted by the grand jury for murder, as I believe'that they will be.” lllrs.
