' The Licutcnanl’s Prisoner.
Charles Parker, being :1 young man
from the East, and a newly-fledged
graduate of the military academy, he
was not looked upon with sublime awe
by the frontier-smell around his Ariz-
onian post, and certainly not with a fear-
ful respect by tho inilitin'y. 0 ' I

In reality, Lieut. Parker 'knew very
little of the energetic W'cst as It is

and what. little hclkncw, didnot swell
him with pride. It was his-idea that if
lmmvlcdgc is pmvcr, knoivle'dgcof Ariz-

that trucdlcnt-creatm‘e, the Arizonian,
in a red shirt, but if he had chosen an
individual to stand betwixt: the. wind
and his nobility, the, gentleman in the
carminc camisa would not have obtained
the situation. His life was not totally
without charm, for he was in love with;
the coloncl’s daughter, one of those
charmingyoung ladies found only in
army circles, who hove all the polish of
their more fortunate city sisters with a
seductive franknosb and abandon devel-
oped in their Bohemian existence. '
It was arranged between Miss Helen
and Parker that when he could get
have, it- should be for 11,1 'cdding jour-
ney. It was the peculiar charm of this
arrangement. that it; was made,- without
the coloncl’s assistance or knowledge.
Low-rs must have their secrets. A lover
without a weighty secret would cut as
poor :1. figure as ~11 secretless statesnmn.
However, the chances of Parker's get;-
ting a furlough were slim. Hi9captain
was on an indefinite sick leave, having a
splendid time and entering heartily into
business, while his first lieutenant was
engaged in 'Washington on some onerous
duty which required peculiar talents
and considerable “influence.”
“ One officer,” said the law, “ must be
with the troops,” and when the law.
uttered these words, it ignored'the as-
tute captain and powerful first licuteni1
ant, and pointcdwith its crooked finger
at our friend, Mr. Parker. .
The morning when history finds him,
the lone lieutenant, acting as. post adju-
taut, was sitting at his desk in the
colonel’s Office, gravely referring official”
papers to himself in some Of his many
capacities, such as quartermaster, com--
missary, ordinance officer, post treasurer,
chief of scouts, overseer. of schools, or. '
perpetual Officer of the day. By his
formal words one would have thought
him on very frigid terms with himself.
Instead, for instance, pf saying, _“ Par-
ker, will you take a squint at’this !” he
wrote: “Respectfully referred to-Licut.
Parker, who will take. the action re-
quired. " . _
Meantime the colonel was knitting his
brows over the order from headquarters. _
“lVliat do you think of that?” he
said at last, handing the paper to Par-
her.
The young man read the order, but
made no answer. He liked to have his
opinion asked, but he did not suppose
that his Crude ideas wouldbe of value”
to an officer of so much. greater experi-
encc. ‘ .- .
”What do you think?” repeatcdth'e
31 )lOllCl mildly.
“ I suppose-it’ll have to be done,”-
raid the lieutenant vaguely, not know-
ing on what point a reply wasvwis‘hcd. .
" Yes,” mused the colonel, “ but how ?
This says he is supposed to,_be at San;
ford, but the description'is vague to
make a search on.”
“Oh, that, ” said Parker, “why, _I
think I know the man already. I. saw
him last summer when I wassurvcying
the line from Gila Bond to Tuscon. He
keeps a saloon in Sanford. ”
The colonel shook his head. . _ V
“I was going to send for an old OfliJ’
cer, but if you can identify the man
you’ll have to‘go. Eum'ph ! Not a very
pleasant orLCasy duty ”—aud he kicked

“ If you think it' necessary.”
""1 don’t,"’ said the. colonel, instantly
deter-mined by Parker’s look; and he
wrote in pencil the draft for an Order:—
‘ ‘ Lieut. Parker .' will ‘proceed directly
to Sanford, Arizona, with a detail of six
men, and arrest escaped military con.
vict, John Dcvinc.” ~
“Just have that publisher . ”
Parker hesitated; but at the rcspOnsi:
bility of the arrest was to depend upon
him, he determined to speak.
“If that order is published, word of
it \villlgo. tothis convict by the ‘ under-
ground? and he-will give me the slip."
“Suppose you. were to go away with-
out an order,” said the, colonel; “that

“It wouldn’t do any good; " .When.

order in your pocket."
In half an hour the ambulance rolled
out of Fort; McDowell into the long
road across the desert. The soldiers
were 'in good spirits Over.~a holiday:
Very true, they carried carbincs and
revolvers, but in Arizona carbincs and
revolvers are as readily associated with
good spirits as ch‘eerfulncss with beans
and big grocery bills in New England
The travel brought them, to Sacaton
on the Gila, where Parker had been the.
summer previous. When the people
learned his'prcscnt errand he was" hos~
pitably entertained, and no warning of
his coming was sent forward. .,.But in
conversation with the Indian Agent, to
whom he revealed his true orders, he
learned that the convict, frightened by
previous rumors, had sold his saloon
and was aboutto leave. This rendered
an arrest a matter of double difficulty
and danger. ‘
Under the circumstances, although
. the next day was Sunday, Parker deter-
mined to push on. At six o'clock Snu-
day morning the ambulance was on its
way with a drive before it of cighter: '
miles. Parker, half a mile from his
destination, put off his unconccrn and
ordered the driver to stop. Then he
pulled the true orders out of his pocket
and read them. The soldiers exchange-l
glances. They thought; the young lieu-
tenant would not take things so easily
if he knew the desperate character of
his business. More respect was visible
. in their faees when he gave his orders.
They perceived from his tone that if
any one faltercd it would not be the
“ boy. ”.
_ “ We will drive into the plaza in front
of Smith’s. Devinc will probably be in
some saloon opposite. I shall go acres;
the plaza to the saloons. You will loaf
along, fifty yards in the rearfivith your
carbines I'll let you know when I
want you. Now drive on." .
Arrived at Sanford, these directions
were carried out to the letter. A small,
but hard lobking crowd gathered around
'the ambulance. ‘
“Hello, lieutenant i” said Smith, the
town 'shyster, coming out. “What is
it ‘2"
“Telegraph," replied Parker, for all
to hear. “I have come to see what you
can put up for it.”
“ Good,” said Smith, while a murmur
of approbation went through i the crowd.
“I’ll take you round to see the people.
Have the’ man put up the rig. ”
“ Can’t stop long enough. I’m going
on to Florence ,to get their ideas.
Driver, keep the team here. X011 men
can go where you please, but be back in
time to start.” >
The ruse having succeeded so far.
Parker and Smith walked across the
plaza to the saloon, while the men fol-
lowed aimlessly along, carrying their
carbines on their hips.
“ Come in and have something, ’_’ said
the hospitable Smith, when they crossed
the square; “ help you 1511. business.”
Parker acceptch and they'went in.
The saloon consisted of two rooms.
the front‘room were two or three loun-
gers, but from the back room there
issued various sounds, which gave evi-
dence of a crowded table of gamblers.
Parker gave his order, and placed him— I
self so that by turning his head he could
command a full view of the back room.
Then he looked for his men. They were
already at the saloon door. > They played
their parts well, for they seemed only
waiting for their. superior before they
took a. turn at the bar: Parker pOnred
out a generous glass, and turned his
eyes and glanced in; the back room.
'Dircct'ly in'_fr0nt of him at the op-
posite side of the table sat Devine. At

device of: dropping his' glance and

ker lookingat him absently, turned to
the front of the saloon, and still holding
up his glass, made the signal. ‘Thcn,
without drinking, he set the glass down,
and walked directly to the door of the
gambling room. He didnot know what
tragedy would follow his words, but he
said——

mes AND THE": 11mm; :3.
One of the few markets for womanls
work which. is not ovci'crowdcd and at
which competent and fairly intelligent
girlscau earn good wages from the first
day they enter upon the professionis
that which includes the working, cut-
ting and general arrangement of the
human hair: At present the hair trade,
. like every other branch of business, is
remarkably dull, but in this case there’
is a special reason for depression.
“Short hair,” said a leading tonsorial
artist, “has spoiled the business. I
hope to goodness it will go out of
fashion soon ; there is no money in it at;
all. It takes six or eight people all day
to earn $10 cutting hair. Give me," he
added, waxing pathetic, “anything,
anything rather than short hair.” The
average wages for female hair-dressers
13 $8 per week, rising to $18 and sinking
to $55. A girl who undcrutands the
whole business thoroughly in all its
branches can command $18 anywhere.
One hair-dresser 'has; at the present time
two in his employ who command that
sum. -This merchant employs at the
present time about forty girls. Two
years ago he had 180 and paid $700
weekly in wages to female help. Other
hair—dressers also employ young ladies.
It need not be said that the profits of
the profession lie in the false hair dc-
partlncnt. The leading hair-dressers of
the city average three wigs a day, even
in the present dull times.
. Ladies who have had their hair cut;
and are tired of it buy wigs-01' switches
to wear in the street. Those whose hair
is poor, or suffer from baldness wear
them at all times. Girls who confine
their attention to hair-worldng alone
earn from $5 to $10 a week. It is an
art that needs some skill and no small
amount of patience and pcrscvcrance'to
succeed with. The hair with which the
wigs are made is collected by special
drummers in Germany and France.
England andBelgiuui arebut poor mar-
kets for hair, not because of its scarcity,
for both English and Belgian women
have the finest heads of hair in the
world, but because they will not sell it. ‘
\thn collected it is put through ('1
cleansing process severe enough to fetch
the dirt out of an elephaut’s hide and
then dyed several times over. The
best hair-dressers never buy hair from
the head or from private hands. To
this rule, however, there are two ex-
ceptions. _ Perfectly white hair is so
rare that it is grabbed eagerly from any
scored and :1 liberal price given for it.
Natural curling hair is also of con-
siderable value. A good wig of white
hair costs about $40 but (and this secret
of the trade and can only be told in a
whispers) the materials of which these
wigs are made is clipped from the fes-
tive goat, and never from the human
head. A peculiarly soft, silky kind of
.ncw-whitc hair originates on the
Angora rabbit.’ A perfectly white and
abundant wig of white human hair
would cost $1,000 at least, a price which
fewladics would be 'willing to’ pay.
Dead hair—that is, hair cut from the
head after death—4:; ievcr used by any
tonsorial artist worthy of the_name.
Indeed, it cannot be used to any an-
vantage, as it will neither curl, twist or
manipulate. Hair cut from a living
head is not dead, a fact which can easily
be ‘ proved by taking 'a hair and
stretching it out to its utmost capacity.
't will then contract quietly back to its
former position. I '

GEN. PUTNARI’S .NEGLECTED GRAVE.
Probably the one thing which is most
prominently associated with the name
of Israel Putnam in the popular mind
is his celebrated feat of during up in
the beautiful town of Pomfret, where, a
century ago, he killed in her den :1 she
wolf which had been deprcdating upon
the surrounding country. But this
Revolutionary hero’sfamc does not de-
pend upOn this single and abnormally
magnified incident of his career, and
there is considerable ground for the
' ; ’ indignant complaints which are publicly
made about the neglect of his grave in
the old cemetery in the neighboring _
town of, Brooklyn. The spot of his
burial is marked by a marble slab lying
flat on a heap of stones and badly
chipped by relic hunters. 'It Seems
strange that in these days ofmonuments
a’suitable' one has not been erected to
commemorate the virtues. of him who
distinguished himself in the French
war; who was captured and nearly
roasted alive by Indians in 1758, who

story in the Old army very characteristic
of Bragg. On one occasion, when
stationed at a post of several Companies,
commanded by a. field officer, he was
himself commanding one of tho com-v
picnics and at-the some time acting post
quartermast-er and commissary. He
.was a first lieutenant rat the time, but
his captain was detached to other duty.
As commander of the company, he made

GRANT IN MEXICO. /
A correspondent says: Some time
since, in spcgtking with Capt. II. L.
Shields, of Trby, N. Y..~—a most gallant
oilicer of the army in the w; ' with
Mexico—of Gen. Grant, the Captain
narrated an instance of “the great sol-
dier’s heroism'at the capture of the City
of Mexico. The Captain is now at his
sunnner home at Bennington, and we
telegraphed him a request to write for
us some reminiscences of the deceased
General. This the Captain has done
with characteristic elegance of diction,‘
_but with the brevity of a soldier. Capt.
Shields’ tribute to Grant in the closing
lines is as pointed as it is brief:
“I was a cadet at West Point during
part of the time that U. S. Grant was
there—«my senior by a few years. He'
was then a quiet, modest young man,
with no enemies, and but few intimate
personal friends. He was remarkable
only as a bold, fearless horseman. HO
rode the three-quarter bred chestnut
horse York, noted at the Military Acad-
emy in those days as an animal of great
courage and style and a remarkable
jumper. I have seen Cadet Grant, in
the riding hall, take. York” a flying leap.
dragoons of ordinary height.
“ After graduating I did not see him
again until the Mexican war, when we
were attached to the same brigade (Gar-
land's of Worth’s division in Gen. Scott's
army). This brigagc took the advance in
the Valley of Mexico on one of the cause-
ways leading to the capital of that
country. When nearing the city we
found the approaches so ‘well swept by
artillery in intrenchments as to check
our advancing columns. Night closed
on us after the day’s fighting. with our
brigade resting on its arms and some-
what doubtful of our successful entry
into the city the next day. Lie'ut. Grant,
(as I understood at, the time), without
orders and at great personal peril, took
a few soldiers, and with axes and picks
actually chopped his way through the
walls-of the buildings on the side ofithis
avenue, until he reached the rear of the
Mexican batteries which cnfiladed the
street, when, by a few well directed
musketry shots from the housctops, tho
cannonccrs were driven from their posts
and abandoned their guns and so opened
the way for our troops. Thus, much
of the credit of the capture of the
halls Of the Montczumas with so little
loss was due to the 'rccklcss bravery
and cool judgment of the late earnest,
honest, just, and truly great soldier,
Ulysses S. Grant. Ibelievc that no other
man has passed ' through such an event-
ful life leaving 110 enemies and having so
many admirers and friends.
GRANTS FIRST NOMINATION.
A veteran of the Seventeenth Maine
Regiment tells the story of Gen. ~Grant’s
first nomination for the presidency.
The second Corps was marching from
Cold Harbor to Richmond, and one
morning, when about ten miles from the
Confederate capital, a halt was made
for breakfast near an old church. Some
of the boys entered the church out of
curiosity, and the first thing that met
their gaze was an inscription in charcoal
upon the dead white wall back of the
pulpit. It reads :
Ulysses S. Grant; may he llclumg.drawn.
and quartered. .
The first impulse Of the solilic’rs‘was
to take revenge by burning the church,
and this would undoubtedly have been
done had not one of the nicn apm'oachcd
the pulpit and discovered another in-
scription, which could not be read from
the further end of the church. It was
this: /
Hung with the laurcis of victory, drawn in
the chariot. of peace, and quartered in the
White House :1thshiugton. ' '
The church was saved.
A distinguished officer here tells a new
story of Gen. Grant. In one of the
opening battles of Grant's last campaign,
a Maine soldier received a peculiar and
painful while- not dangerous wound.
He was but a short distance from Gen.
Grant, who at the time was talkinrnto
Gen. Hancock. The Maine man yelled
with considerable vigor, and Gen. Grant,
turning to Golf Moore, now of Deering,‘
said : “ Let that man go to the rear ;
he’ll demoralizc the entire rebel army if
he keeps up screaming in that ray.” At
that time Gen. Grant was in constant
danger of being killed.
SUCCESSFUL AS A CLERK.
“When Grant was in Chicago three
or four years ago, ” said an army official,"
“ he lounged about Sheridan’s head-
quarters a good deaL His son Fred was

" Careless penmcn knew liiitlc or reckon
consequent on the obscurity of their
hicrogiyphicn. I hold Vthhty-ns a rule,
Hutrc is a beam in the cyc‘of the author
for every mote that he detects in the eye
if the printer.. Such expressions as
i‘priutcrs‘ crrora ” and “errors of the
proud”, are often very unfair.. The art-
thor himself is most frequently the pri-
mary cause of the errors which provoke
so much annoyance. They are the
Nemesis of the injury he inflicts ‘by his
bad handwriting on the h'umbler “man
of letters.” Surely authors, have only
themselves to blame when the interpre-
tation of their handwriting is [rendered
-a matter of speculation rather than a
plain matter of fact. Whercrthc copy is
a smudgy mass of dark- hints and subtle
suggestions as to what the author wants
to have printed, errors occur of neces-
sity; but why blame the printer? Ac-
cording to my experience it is_ a wonder .
that “errors of the press ” Minot more
frequent and more flagrant than they
actually are. Generally spgaking, au-
thors are almost as careless with their
proofs as they are with their copy, but
they seem remarkably dextrous in de-
tecting, after publication, errors which
they had ample opportunity to correct
in the proof sheets. How vile some.
copy is may be dimly understood upon
just consideration of the fellowing mild
illustration :1 A living BishOp writes
such an atrocious scrawl as passes-def
scription. ~Upon one occasion a coni-
positor groped his .way through this
copy until he came to a phrase which
baffled his understanding and staggered
his imagination. He was fain 110 pray in
aid: “‘Egsplain this, man and an-
gels!" After a long conferencefiomc
one was seized with an inspiration :
“Perhaps it‘s Greek.” So the passage
was Setup in such Greek characters as
desperation suggested. There: ensued a
fine confusion of- letters; Greek met:
Greek in. fierce antagonism. “Only
think of the philogiccl acumen which
would have been employed on that "
“ Greek” passage! or imafinc its blood-
eurdling effect on the Bishop, if the
printer’s reader had not discovered—by
some Owen-like exhibition of inferential
sagacity—-t111$ the words were, after all, ‘
very commonplace English ! After this
the “reader ”was not 1111.011 shocked to
find that, a little furtheron, the com-
positor had “reversed the spell " by
mistaking some of the Bishop‘s Greek
for English! AsIhad a hand in the
matter I can vouch for the truth of the
story. CempOsitors on piecework have .
reason~to dread the Bishop’s copy, for
it \viLl only yieldythcm Sixpence while
they ought to be earning cighteenpence.
A GREAT FRENCII LAWYER.
‘Maitrc Lachaud‘s courage and elo-
quence never betrayed him before any
tribunal. - The defense of Bazaine was
a memorable instance of tho-fearlessness
with which he stemmed the tide of
popular resentment against a Marshal
who had'been selected as the scapegoat
of national disaster. Maitre Lachaud
never “held a brief." He defended a
case océording to. his o'wn view of the
possibilities of defense. If a prisoner's
guilt were 'admittcd, or his innocence
. i1100mpatiblc"ivitlt any account Of the
evidence, Lachaud spoke as the advo-
cate of mercy, and the force with which
he urged this plea was irresistible; it
came from the heart and went straight
to the heart. Au infinite pity for human
frailtics,-springing from the. depths of-a.
loving and religious nature, gave him
that power in which he was unrivaled,
of revealing a human soul with whose
woe sympathy was possible in the most
inhuman wretch that appeared before
a. jury. He raised professional duty to-
the height of a special intercession on
behalf of the degraded and oppressed;
and the Court of Assizes, which he en-
nobled by the tone of his advocacy, rc-
cognized in him the St. Yincent of Paul
of the Bar. A commanding presence
and rare personal beauty gave dignity
to a delivery that was at once graceful
and tender, grave and impassioned. '
The music of his voice persuaded with- .
out argument, and the saying has passed
into a. proverb that. a letter read by
Lachaud would convince a. jury._ With
his perfect combination of mental and
physical gifts. Lachaud realized the
type of that ideal orator whom antiquity
delighted in describing. Such was the
opinion of no less a judge of oratory
than Guntetta; and such, we may rest
assured, will be the verdict of posterity.

‘Even for Shakespeare the year had only
365: days, and we know that his life was
too shoiitffor all this. What Shakes-
peare’s varied knowledge docs prove is,
in the first plaeo,thc' unequalled insight
‘ and facility withwhich' his genius as-
similated every: kind of matter that was.
fit for his ‘p'ul'pOSOS. ' But his technical
knowledge of law in particular is by no
means without .. parallel examples in.
other dramatists Of the time. Add to
this the-fact that Shakespeare was a
country gentleman with legal business.
of his own to attend to, and consider
that he would not have introduced in
acting plays, for the sake of showing off
“his knowledge for a few, points not likely
to be intelligible to the majority of his
audience. Then the natural inference
which it would not be difficult tocon-
firm from other sources is that in the
sixteenth century the, lay people, and.
especially landowners, knew a great deal
more of the law than they do in the
nineteenth. It must be remembered
that England, in this respect, now
stands alone in Europe. Nowhere else
is the law such a mystery. Various
causes may be assigned for the different
state of things down to Shakespeare’s
time; among others, there, was not only
‘muchless 1m to be. known, but it was
much less easy for dwellers in, the
country to "command skilled advice.
People who could not write to town for '
counsel’s opinion as a matter ‘of course
had ofnecessity- to be. their own lawyers
tesome"'extent.‘ And we fully believe
Shakespeare to: have been a lawyer,
probably a very competent one, to that
extent; but no further or otherwise.

ABOUT HUMAN Multivitamins.
In chatting with Mme. Marchesi, the
famous singing. professor, .- about he:
still more famous pupil, Gabrielle
Kranss, we digressed into a talk about
the'voeal gifts of the different civilized
nations of the world. In her classes at:
Vienna Mme. ,Murchcsi had young
songstresaes of almost every nation.
She placed the Italians and Germans all
the head of 1311.0 best endowed,iboth as
regards voices and musical sensibilities.
Some Hungarians should also be highly
estimated, and many Swedes that passed
through her hands had superior gifts.
When a Frenchwoman had musical'
gifts she made the most of them.
Americans and Irish Mme. Marchesi
had often found very highly gifted.
But there was no larynx more difficult
to drill than the English. I asked her
whether this was owing to want of car.
It could 'not be due to the efi'ect of the
English language on the throat and
month, since it wits spoken both in
America. and Ireland. “-No,” she said,
“ there is a vast deal of music in good
English poetry. The defective larynx,
in my opinion, comes from the way
English is spoken in genteel and aristo-
cratic society. Broad, open sounds are
never heard. There are consonants that
are slurred or clipped; and conversation
is carried on everywhere in undertones
——that is, by ladies, young girls, govern-
esses and nm'sery-maids. The current
pronunciation and enunciation in the
long run incapacitate the throat for fine
vocalization. . The Irish speech is much
less restrained, so far as the pitch 0f the
voice and the launching of vowels and
certain consonants go. A brogue may
be a disadvantage in, a drawing-room,
but from my particular point of view it
is not one.” “ Well,” I observed, “ how
do you account for the number of good
voices in the United States, among
Americans who have no brogue, and are
of Anglo-Saxon origin ?” Mme, Marchesi
replied that American girls learned to
speak in their public and other schools
very distinctly and audibly, and were
often obliged to give their impressions
and ideas on many subjects orally as
well as in writing. The spoken and
improvised esSay was the best way to
acquire a good diction, but on condition,
of course, that the matter with which
it dealt was well understood by the
speaker. The sing song delivery of a
thing learned by rote was unconsciously ,
avoided, and as a teacher at some dis-
tance was the person addressed, it would
not do to clip words. Peculiarly Ameri-
can defects were easily surmounted by a
singer. Mme. Marchesi insisted again
on the music of English poetry. She
was half inclined to think that England
must have been a land of song and good
songsters when society was less convcm
’ tional than it is now.
A PURCHASE MADE.
Clara Louise Kelloggis a lady of much
more than ordinary brilliancy in conver-
sation and has a general information
with reference to the country, its people,
topography, natural resources and curi-
osities which would reflect credit upon
a scientist or historian. Like all women
of this class, whose broad intellect is
reaching out for new developments and
a higher intelligence, Miss Kellogg has
apassionate fondness for the curious,
“and one morning, hearing that Indian
curiosities could be secured in Bis-
marck, she called a. n‘ewsboy from the_
platform and told him to bring her the
finest specimens of handiwork he could
find. The boy hastened away and soon
returned with several very pretty ar-
ticles, among them being a handsomely
beaded riding-whip, which the sweet-
Voiced singer purchased for $1.50. The
news of the boy's success in making a
profitable sale to the famous Indy 300::
Spread among his associates and while
she was admiring her fancy whip in the
corridor of the hotel, a pug-nosed, loud-
voiced bootblack rushed up to where she
stood and criedin a. voice that attracted
the attention of the gentlemen in the
office :
“Say, mum, is you Mis’sns Clar’l \.
Weze Klugg ?"
T .“ Yes, my little man, what can I do for
you ?" kindly asked the pleasant lady,
rind all the gentleman gathered around
0:0 hear the conversation.
; “Well, I .jes want-to know if yc'll buy
some Injun krosities uv me. That other
feller ‘swin’dled yer when he made yer
pay a-dollar‘n half for that ol’ whip."
i “ Well, what have you got for me ?"
asked Miss Kellogg.
Everybody was anxiously awaiting the
response of the boy, when he broke the
silence bycxelniming :
“ I can get: yer a nice pair of leggins,
that’ll jes’ about fit you, for less’n a
dollar’n half, an’ they’re————.”y
“Oh, pshaw !" interrupted Miss Kel-
log , as the crowd dispersed with muf-
fled laughter, “I’ve’gOt all the leggins I
want. ” , ~ _
“ But these ’uns are all beaded up the
sides,” yelled the bootblack, in a desper-
ate effort to hold the customer ; “ an’
they’ll never wear out, either; an’ they’ll
reach. ”
But Miss Kellogg had disappeared,
and the bewildered bootblack wondered
how his associate could ever make a‘deal
with such a. strange customer. .

BILL NYE 0N VESUVIUS.
One thousand eight hundred. and
eighty‘four years ago, the Roman geog-
rapher and weather-crank, Strabo, spoke
of Vesuvius as a burnt mountain ; but it
had not at that time turned itself wrong _
side out. Quite a forest grew where the
crater now stands. For fifty years Ve-
suvius had bilious spells, but kept on
drawing its salary without loss of time,
but in A. D., it turned itself‘loose and
tore up the ground a good deal. Real
estate went to an astonishing height,
but became depressed at once. The
south half of the mountain was jerked
loose, as Pliny has it, and knocked gully
west. This was followed by a shower of
hot, wet ashes which completely obliter-
ated Pompeii and Herculaneum. Those
two towns have been exhumed lately,
but, owing to the delay of the authori-
ties in doing so; no lives were saved.
These cities are not covered with lava.
Scientists say that the ruins were found
under a deep layer 0f volcanic tufa. I
do not know what tufa. is, but presume
the term is perfectly proper and safe to
use in good society. I have heard of the
tufa cigar, which is sold tufa five cents,
but am comparatively ignorant of the
general appearance of volcanié tnfa.
